Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang and Allure had been told by Hou Bing to find a way to crack up the array and the Phoenix could not help them. The Terran made a hypothesis that it must be because she was a Holy beast and that was why she could not meddle in such affairs.

Allure on the other hand, was working very diligently for this assignment. Shi Lang was impressed by Hou Bing. It was because she was watching Allure that made this fox work. After a day, Hou Bing asked, "Why are you not working hard? Do you think she will be able to solve it?"

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "It is not that I would place my fate in the hands of someone else. I have a different method to solve problems."

Hou Bing scoffed and remarked, "Enlighten me."

Shi Lang smiled and said, "You said that the entrance of the secret realm is blocked by a guardian array. From what I know, such arrays have the power to kill armies in one attack. That is why they must not be breached with force."

The little sparrow nodded humanely, and Shi Lang said, "To find the nodes of the array one needs to be able to see the connection of spiritual energy. I personally call these connections Spirit Lines. These connections move the spiritual energy through the array creating a web with particular effects.

The entrance to the secret realm lays in this garden. Now if you look at the elements of this place, how many nodes can their be? It could be a number between five to thousand, we do not know anything. So, I am trying to perceive the spiritual lines and find the connections."

Hou Bing remarked, "You sure have many interesting theories, and the way you put things, I cannot help but think of the saints who diluted the knowledge of the heavenly skills and phenomenon for the commoners to learn."

Shi Lang smiled and said, "You praise me a bit too much. I just do that to make it easy for me. I am no saint."

Hou Bing did not say anything to him, she just watched him from the side as he meditated. Shi Lang was not uttering nonsense. He was seriously thinking of ways to perceive the connections of spiritual lines that created the array structure.

Only when he managed to get them down to the dot would he be able to diffuse the nodes without making the array attack them or exploding by removing an unstable node.

He sat with his eyes crossed for three days in a row, and no one came to disturb him. None of the spirit beasts in the region stepped inside the garden because Allure would scare them away with a glance of her cold eyes.

Hou Bing was also resting these days, she had to cultivate as well because her body was not as strong as her soul or her bloodline, however, she knew what the best way to get back to the peak was from the past life.

Suddenly, Shi Lang opened his eyes and stood up. Allure stopped her actions and Hou Bing also opened her eyes. The Terran moved closer to a tree and carefully began to remove the soil at the bottom. The two people did not understand what he was doing but soon he dug out a crystal as big as an adult fist.

Allure was curious and wanted to see what the crystal was like when Shi Lang said, "Do not move. From now on, I will be handling everything. This entire place just turned into an unstable bomb. Do not move or the fluctuation in the spiritual lines will be the end of us."

The legendary beast was shocked and asked, "How do you plan on clearing the array without moving?"

Allure asked, "What does that mean?"

Shi Lang smiled and replied, "Vanishing into oblivion sister. The array is not a simple one. I think that last time someone managed to get in and the array was rearranged by someone to increase the security."

Allure was shocked and Hou Bing said, "I did not expect you to be able to figure that out. What gave it away?"

Shi Lang looked at her and said, "Do you think that one human would be able to come up with such an array? It might take them thousands of years to just plan this. This array has been deployed step by step."

Hou Bing nodded and Allure gulped as she asked, "Do not tell me that Her Excellency deployed it."

Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "No, Hou Bing did not have the time to do that even if she wanted to. So, the next best guess is, the populace of the secret realm did this."

Hou Bing clicked her tongue and said, "You surely are a genius, kid. I did not expect you to figure this out."

Shi Lang said, "That is not the conclusion of my theory."

Hou Bing was interested and said, "Carry on, enlighten me."

Shi Lang continued digging out the array nodes with his clones as he said, "There is not one entrance to this secret realm. They have hidden multiple of these arrays all over the northern mountain. They select which entrance is visible on a random."

Allure asked, "What is the purpose of it?"

The Terran replied, "It is possible that they wish to hide and survive. As to what they were hiding from, I have no idea. It could be the stronger spirit beasts in this place or it could be humans who were hunting for the demon sects."

Allure raised her brows and said, "That is indeed and interesting theory."

Just as she said this, Shi Lang's clone grabbed onto another array node and then he stopped. Suddenly, a void portal appeared before them and they knew that the array was solved.

Hou Bing said, "Gather over, someone is coming."

Her tone was casual, but she had not yet finished speaking when Shi Lang and Allure stood before her side by side. An old voice sounded from the void portal, "Congratulations on breaking the Heaven's Lock Array."
