Shi Lang traveled for fifteen days, in the world of cultivators, time passed at the speed of light. Using the navigation from the satellite feed, his journey became simpler. On the way, he took time to send back a video message to his people in the caged realm.
He asked them to send some pictures and videos of themselves as he missed them. After Amelia passed away, he thought his heart was dead, but now that he has rediscovered his path, he knew that there was more to the world and human emotions than what he initially thought.
Closing his heart temporarily allowed him to grow stronger and grow around the pain that gnawed at him, but now that he was used to the pain, it was time for him to let others help him heal and stand back up to keep thest words of his wife.
Shi Lang traveled at a rather modest pace, unlike before, this time around he visited many small ces. He wanted to try and see if he couldprehend something about thews while observing the people. He spotted a few good seedlings but he decided to not intervene in their paths.
Firstly, he did not have the time to guide them. Secondly, this ce was the territory of the seven families, he did not wish to get noticed. Although, he was travelling low key, if he got into trouble with the elders of any house then given how pompous the big family members were, it would escte into a blood battle.
After half a month, Shi Lang arrived at the entrance of a magnificent city and found himself astounded. The walls of the city were made up of metallic substance which looked simr to cast iron. However, Shi Lang could sense spiritual energy coursing through the wall.
Lou Shin appeared next to him and said, "The spirit star iron walls, as astounding as ever."
Shi Lang asked, "What is this metal?"
Lou Shin replied to his questions, "Frontier City used to be the capital of an old dynasty, and it was called the Spirit Star City. The metal you see before you is actually apound made with Spirit Star y and the mostmon Star Iron. These walls are tens of thousands of years old."
Shi Lang was surprised, he did not expect these walls to have such a history behind them. He asked, "You said these walls are apound, so does that mean we can create them as long as we have the necessary material?"
Lou Shin smiled and said, "If that was possible, we would have been able to have such walls around every town in the easter continent."
She thought Shi Lang was a bit naive to ask such a thing. She continued when he was left speechless, "The Spirit Star y is the base material of thispound and sadly, it does not exist in this ne anymore."
Shi Lang was shocked and Lou Shin said, "In therest stand against the ten thousand races, the army of the ruling dynasty marched wearing armors of the Spirit Star Iron, however, none of them came back. The spirit star iron is capable of blocking out space. So, the ten thousand races could never find their way in.
Humans were so scared of going out that the Ten thousand races have taken custody of the y Mines."
Shi Lang scratched his head and asked, "Can the humans'' notpete with the Ten thousand races?"
Lou Shin shook her head and said, "The ten thousand races are not weak. One expert from the top ten races guard that ce. It is a Celestial Fox, even Dao Sovereigns cannot escape her illusions, let alone us."
Shi Lang nodded about it, he did not overestimate himself. His master was probably a Dao Sovereign yet if he could not make it through. Shi Lang could not either. Lou Shin said, "I cannot stay away from you inside the city, if I used my spiritual sense and attracted the attention of some arrogant ass, it would spell disaster."
Shi Lang nodded and just when Lou Shin was about to suggest to follow him, he took out a spiritmunicator from his space ring and said, "You can tie it up, and when you have found yourself a resting ce you can just lift your wrist like me and say, Introduce yourself. It is an artifact from the lower world so be patient."
He was cautious and gave her a basic model with some low AI features. Thedy was shocked, but then she controlled her thoughts and the two of them entered the city. Shi Lang paid two spirit stones as the entry fees and showed his sect identity token to enter after Lou Shin.
The duo first moved to an inn, Shi Langmented softly, "What a rush, this many people moving around. I seemed to have underestimated the charm of the central region."
Lou Shin nodded and said, "You have been staying inside the sect for a bit too long."
Shi Lang smiled and waved a waitress over. The girl was appeared to be a mortal and she was only in her early teens. She reminded him of Hao Mei. The girl smiled and asked, "What can I get you Big Brother?"
Shi Lang smiled back and said, "Two serving of the special spirit food, and one jar of wine."
The girl nodded and rushed over to the kitchen quickly. Suddenly, the door opened and a person walked in. Shi Lang sensed with his sensory ability and found it to be a group of people wearing silver armors. He stood up and turned to look at the group in confusion before he said, "Miss Yang.."
The people who came over were Yang Xiaoling, and the rest of her team. Shi Lang raised his brows as he thought it was too big of a coincidence. Yang Xiaoling turned to look at him and smiled. Her expression was not of surprise. She walked over but just when she was five meters away from Shi Lang, the Terran asked, "Why are you not surprised to find me here?"
Yang Xiaoling was surprised and Yang Harwing smiled as he said, "I won the bet. Brother Shura, let me exin it to you."
Turns out the four of them had given out a alert notice to the guards on the city gates that if they found someone wearing a glossy ck mask over their head. Shi Lang was the first one and when they reported back, the Yang Team managed toe over.
Shi Lang nodded to the exnation and asked, "Can I ask, why you are looking for me?"
Yang Harwing smiled and said, "You helped us take down that Void Barbarian Wolf. We have to pay you appropriately."
Shi Lang thought about it and nodded as he called them over to sit down. The little girl returned with two tes, and found four more guests. She was confused and Shi Lang said, "Get some for them as well kiddo. Tell me how much is it?"
The little girl replied, "Two silver coins."
Shi Lang was surprised and took out a small spirit stone, he said, "I do not have coins on me but only spirit stones. Do you ept them here?"
The little girl nodded and said, "Mortals cannot ept spirit stones, but they can convert them to coins within a days time to avoid deductions."
Shi Lang nodded and handed her the spirit stone. Yang Xiaoling watched the girl walk away and asked, "Daoist Shura, why did you stop in the mortal level of the city?"
Shi Lang shook his head but did not reply to her question, hisprehension was his own and he had no obligation to tell her anything. Lou Shin observed the two and said, "I am leaving, take care."
Shi Lang nodded and Yang Harwing asked after Lou Shin left, "Was that your Dao Companion?"
Shi Lang radiated a wave of killing intent at the mention of this, but he regained control quickly as he replied, "She is my elder sister."
Yang disciples were shocked by the sudden wave of killing intent but they calmed down quickly. Yang Xiaoling eased up the mood by talking and Shi Lang found out many things about the Frontier City. It turned out that the city was divided in two levels, one was for the mortals and the other was for the cultivators.
The cultivators resided in the core of the city as the spiritual energy was highly concentrated there, and that ce was mainly upied by the members of the seven families. The mortal level bustled with travelers who supported the ie and household of the mortals.
In the upper realm, a body formation or a nascent soul cultivator was regarded as a mortal, because unless you have crossed the spirit sovereign realm, you could be killed as easy as killing an ant in this world.
