Shi Lang was confused when Hou Bing said that the worldws were at work. He asked, "What do you mean when you say that the worldws are the reason? I am just going over to the west and killing demonic cultivators. What is the big deal in that?"


    Hou Bing pecked his cheek hard and drew blood, making Shi Lang grimace. The bird said, "You want to cross the border but do you even know what will happen when you go there and kill enough people? Let me tell you, you ignorant child.


    The western part of the immortal realm is a doorway. If someone manages to go there and kill demonic cultivators they would gain a key to ess this doorway. What lies beyond is a world that you cannot even fathom at your level."


    Shi Lang sighed and said, "You mean to say, a secret realm?"


    Hou Bing took a deep breath and said, "Idiot, that is the real world. The immortal ne as you know it is just a cage."


    Shi Lang was dazed, he could not believe what was going on here. He asked, "What do you mean, can you exin in detail?"


    Hou Bing nodded and said, "The immortal ne you live on is a ne, right? It is like a sheet of cloth spread on a table. However, you are wrong. The world is a representation of the Dao, how can it be ne? This entire ce you think of as the Immortal Realm, is just an isted continent where you all are caged."


    This was a shock that caused Shi Lang to shiver, and Allure was no different. She was standing in the void beside Shi Lang. The Terran calmed his mind and asked, "How is that possible?"


    Hou Bing said, "This happened thousands of years before the battle of gods. A few people who were extremely slow in cultivation formed an army and decided to take control of a small region. The powerful people did not think much of it. However, soon, people from the lower realm began to ascend.


    The strong people of that world decided to take these ascenders as ves or paidborers. However, the weak people could not tolerate this, and fought back. The death toll was so high that none of the people could fathom it. The weak side thought they have won, but just when they were getting happy.


    A few people from the stronger side, sacrificed themselves to erect a cage around this ce. This cage was a restriction Dao Formation. Other than capturing the people here, it had another effect."


    Shi Lang asked, "What effect?"


    Hou Bing sighed and replied, "Memory blocks. The more time someone spent in this ce the shallower their memories became. The current generation does not even remember that they have been locked up inside a cage. That is why there have been no Immortal God in this world for so long."


    Shi Lang was surprised and asked, "Then, Hou Bing, how do you know all this?"


    Hou Bing chuckled and said, "The special realm you visited, that unlocked my memories."


    Shi Lang gulped and asked, "Do you mean to say that Tsuu Ching and his people found a way to get out of this cage and they are living in the real world? Is that why they are so strong?"


    Hou Bing shook her head and replied, "You can think of it in a way, however, they are not in that world, but just extremely close to the cage. Just like outside your window."


    Shi Lang began to rub his brain quickly, however, he could not imagine the level of strength of the people who could create such a big cage around them. He asked, "Can you tell me, what is the highest level of the people in that world?"


    Hou Bing thought for a moment and replied, "In that ce, Immortal sovereigns are the basic level. Even teenagers can climb Immortal Sovereign. The mysteries they hold are too many, and herbs grow as if flowers in the wild. You know in that world you are still in your teenage."


    Shi Lang was shocked and eximed, "I am at least a thousand years old you know. How can I be a teenager in that world?"


    Hou Bing replied, "The timews in that ce are different."


    Allure nodded from the side, and said, "It is possible. However, Your Excellency, what could be the realm of the people in that world?"


    Hou Bing replied, "The highest realm their is Dao God."


    Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"


    The bird shook her head and said, "It is not yet the time for you to meddle in this. Focus on raising your strength."


    Shi Lang thought for a bit and then said, "Hou Bing, although what you said is shocking but do you know that I have no way to advance on my cultivation path if I do not go andprehend the killing sutra?"


    Hou Bing thought for a bit and said, "Your technique is a mix of blood and spiritual cultivation?"


    Shi Lang nodded and Hou Bing said, "Fine, I wille along with you to that side, the moment I decide we have toe back, you will not say a word and follow mymand. Do you understand?"


    The Terran thought and nodded. He did not have any other option for himself. Hou Bing was an ancient creature and she knew about things more than him. Also, it was not in his nature to discard the advise of an more experienced person. With Hou Bing beside him, he might be able to make his way through ande back to thend of humans.


    The trio decided the action n, and Hou Bing still forbade Shi Lang from going to the demonic side before he reached the peak of immortal emperor realm. Shi Lang agreed. He asked Hou Bing if he could exchange this information with his wife, and she agreed.


    She was against breaking this news to the rest of the people because she did not trust them, but Amelia was fine, and so were the people of Asura Hall. They had all been loyal to Shi Lang and were currently working very hard. So, if they managed to increase their realm of cultivation they mighte in handy when Shi Lang moves to the demonic side.


    They were going to learn the Dao of ughter. So if they had a force behind them, it would be easier to deal with the maniac Demons. The n was set and Shi Lang came down the pir to look for the elders of the Asura hall.


    However, before he could tell them anything, Shi Tao arrived at the foot of the mountain. Shi Lang held her hand and asked, "How have you been, child?"


    Shi Tao smiled and said, "I am fine, Baba, why do you look so out of sorts?"


    The Terran replied by shaking his head and told her toe along. The elders were surprised but they quickly recognized Shi Tao and greeted her as the young mistress. Shi Lang said, "Sit down, I have to announce something."


    The people sat down and Shi Lang said, "In he course of next five years, all the people are to squeeze as much potential as they can to achieve the highest level of cultivation as possible. Thismand is for all the operatives, whether intelligence or the assault teams. Abandon all the intelligence gathering if you need to, put up digital surveince, focus on cultivation."


    Yang Niao asked, "Hall Master, is something the matter?"


    Shi Lang hesitated but then he said, "Asura Hall is a sword that should strike fear in the hearts of those who does wrong. That is why, I wish to traverse in the demonic realm, and practice the Dao of ughter."


    The people sucked in a cold breath. They did not expect Shi Lang to say something like this. However, Shi Tao beside him was smiling. She knew that if her father had given up on the position of the champion of the heavenly dragon army, he must have been thinking something bigger.


    She disregarded the fear and asked, "Sir, do we involve General Knight in this?"


    The people were confused and Shi Lang said, "You can talk in the terms of this world. As for involving Sect Mistress Amelia, it is not yet the right time to inform her. She is in seclusion, first we have to tighten our own belts. So, if you all do not have any objections, please push forward with as much vigor as possible. I will stay inside the sect."


    Yang Niao and the rest of the people looked at each other and conversed with spiritual sense for a few minutes. They were discussing the matter Shi Lang just mentioned and when they were done, Yang Niao said, "Hall Master, we all will follow you."


    Shi Lang let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you. I will not let you down."
