Shi Lang analyzed the red figure and tried to control it. At this moment, he realized that his soul sea has transformed into a cockpit. The golden figure stood up from the position and the crimson Shi Lang moved in to stand in its ce.
That was when Shi Lang sensed an overwhelming ughter intent channeling through his body. His hair and eyes were dyed crimson, and his face was covered with some crimson glyphs. As he tried to throw a punch, the void around his fist twisted and was reduced into a spatial hole that consumed everything.
The spatial holested for a few moments, before the void healed on its own. The intent of space was far more destructive among the rest of the intents, and it could render everything null.
Shi Lang shivered in surprise, but then he woke up from the illusion. His strength was no where close to where he wanted it to be. Thinking about it, he sat down to consolidate his cultivation andprehension. His Dao Law runes were flowing through his body and moving inside his Dantian, strengthening the crimson branch of his Dao nt even more. However, there was still no sign of the flower.
He took a deep breath and sensed thews in the Dao nt, it turned out, that his nt had branches that were condensed with the Dao of ughter, Dao of Indifference, Dao of lightning, the Dao of sword, the Dao of spear, the Dao of fist, followed by Dao of alchemy, Dao of fire, Dao of Time, Dao of forging, and finally the Dao of formation.
A total of eleven Daows have beenprehended by him. Shi Lang did not know how to pursuit this path. He opened his eyes and walked out of the blood pond. The gurgling water was now calm like a kitten sleeping after a hectic day.
He changed his clothes and checked his body before walking out of the blood mist. As soon as he stepped out of the blood mist, the red glowing cloak around the crimson mountain vanishedpletely.
Shi Lang did not know what happened when he was cultivating and he made his way up the mountain. For some odd reason, the remnant spirits did not attack him when he came out.
...
On the summit, Yao opened her eyes and found that all the disciples who were practicing under her tutge were going through a qualitative change after perceiving the truth of the red cloak. Thinking about this, Yao cast her gaze upon Long Yang, this naive young man had gained the most after Shi Lang from this episode. His aura had leaped to another realm and none would take him for granted.
She smiled and then she found Shi Lang walking up from the other side. Suddenly, her back was covered in cold sweat. Yao was shocked, she could not understand what was it that cause such a reaction from her. It was as if Shi Lang was a demon who could kill her whenever he wanted to.
She shook her head and the sensation vanished. She flickered from her position and appeared next to him. Shi Lang bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder. I have gained a lot."
Yao nodded and said, "You should go and meet Master. He will be able to answer all your questions."
Shi Lang nodded and then after a greeting he left the crimson peak. Yao did not hold him back because from what she could see, this guy had grown to a level where other people cannot even imagine. At least not normal people.
...
In the forbidden valley, Luan, who was sleeping on the branch of a tree woke up with a snap. His eyes were filled with shock and he yelled, "Who dares to enter the Forbidden Valley?!"
His voice shook every tree and even the mountains. At this moment, Cao Ming said, "Xiao Lang, do not worry,e over. The change in your aura is too much for Luan to understand."
Shi Lang appeared from amidst the mist, and knelt beside Cao Ming as he said, "I apologize for causing trouble, Master."
Cao Ming shook his head and patted Shi Lang''s head gently. Then he took his hand back and said, "You have acquired a very rare and powerful talent, Xiao Lang. Congrattions."
Shi Lang bowed his head but did not speak. Cao Ming smiled faintly as he said, "Don''t you have a lot of questions? Go on, I will answer as many as I should."
Shi Lang nodded and asked respectfully, "Master, why is my Dao Flower not blooming?"
Cao Ming smiled and said, "When someone hasprehended multiple Dao Laws, the Dao nt use thesews as the roots, however, your understanding of Dao Laws is so high that they have condensed into branches. The rules of cultivation and heaven dictates that you can only advance to the nest realm when all your branches have reached the nine feet."
Shi Lang got his answer and mumbled, "It will take a long time for me to achieve nine feet in all eleven branches."
Luan opened his eyes and gawked at him. Cao Ming nodded and then he took out the three feathers from his space ring. He said, "Senior Phoenix came over when you were cultivating in seclusion and she left these for you."
The Terran nodded and epted the three feathers with both hands, and the next moment, the feathers turned into crystal dust that entered his body through his nostrils. The crystal dust was nothing else but a consolidation of Dao Laws of time.
The silver branch on his Dao nt began to grow at a terrifying pace, and the influence of this entire process was so much that the trees in the forbidden valley began to shed leaves and then grow anew over and over. Only after ny-times did they stop.
Luan had grown one feet in size, only Cao Ming remained unaffected with his eyes filled with shock. He sighed and remarked, "I finally understand why the Phoenix cares so much about you, Xiao Lang. You are her champion."
Shi Lang did not hear this, as he was still immersed in absorbing the remnant crystal dust. The pure energy was strengthening his body and even his soul sea. After a day when Shi Lang opened his eyes, Cao Ming smiled and said, "Two branches are already in the peak. Your luck does make people envious."
Shi Lang did not smile and said, "Hou Bing left a message, she has the foresight and she knows that other than her, I cannot sense the Dao of Time anywhere else. This is why she left this."
Cao Ming nodded, and then said, "Your situation is what we call the Invincible realm. You are at the peak of Dao Soldier Realm, but as you cultivate more branches, your strength will increase, gradually you will be able to fight with the people of Dao Lord Realm, but there are still some restrictions. You will discover them on your own, so be careful."
Shi Lang nodded, he understood that there was no such thing as permanent invincibility. He had to pay a dire price for his strength after sacrificing the Dao Laws. This situation seemed to be simr as well.
The two people entered deeper in their conversation and Shi Lang asked many questions. Cao Ming answered as many as he could but he also told Shi Lang that somethings were his own to discover, the path of cultivation varied for everyone and he won''t be able to answer everything.
It was correct, the things he experienced might effect Shi Lang''s path and cause him to walk astray. The Terran himself was aware of this and thus he did not ask much on this.
...
After a few days, Shi Lang came out of the Forbidden valley and he made his way to the square. He had yet to fight this month, however, on the way, many disciples came across him, but they did not bother him. It was as if he had be the god of gue and they wanted to avoid him.
When he reached the square, he found Elder Yao standing there. She smiled at him as she said, "Your ughter intent is raging so much that forget about the disciples, even I break out in cold sweat when I see you. Try to reign it in."
Shi Lang was struck in a daze, he realized that the ughter spirit in his soul sea was still sitting at the central position, thus his aura was majorly influenced by it. He closed his eyes and then his aura changed back to its original form.
However, still none of the challengers stepped up. He waited for a day, before he stood up and wanted to leave. At this moment a calm voice echoed in the surroundings, "Junior Brother Shi, would you spar with me?"
Shi Lang was surprised when he looked at the person who challenged him. It was Long Yang.
