Shi Lang spent the rest of his night cultivating after he had put Shi Tao to sleep, and Amelia arranged a group of soldiers to guard him. The lady did not understand what it could be that made Shi Lang's aura climb so fast.

What she did not understand was that the young man was rectifying the gaps in his cultivation foundation. His understanding of the shura sutra was improving too. This was going to make his strength even more terrifying and the encounter with Unity today made his understanding of a sword spirit improve to another level.

To digest all this information in addition to the relief of his burdens, the young man slipped into deep cultivation. The entire barrack was isolated and guarded by multiple isolation arrays. These were the suggestions made by a spirit beast expert sent by the high council of Citadel to supervise and monitor the growth and behavior of the young scions.

Shi Lang cultivated without caring about the time, it took him ten days before he could completely understand everything and when he woke up from his cultivation, his aura was even more consolidated. This consolidation will enable him to jump realms to fight if needed, while he will be invincible in his own realm.

Shi Lang was twenty-five years old this day when he managed to reach the realm of invincibility in his own realm. Thinking about this, he sensed an itch to go out and fight.

He got up from the lotus position and came out of the barrack and looking at the isolation arrays over the building he smiled faintly. At this moment, a soldier approached him and saluted with the utmost respect.

Shi Lang looked at the guy and said, "At ease, private."

The other party stood at ease and said, "Pardon me, Sir, I came to check because of the fluctuations in the array."

Shi Lang waved his hand and said, "It is alright, go ahead, I am done here, this barrack will be reinstated for general use. Do inform the administrators here for me."

The soldier nodded and then blinked only to find that Shi Lang had vanished as if he was never there in the first place. The soldier was frightened but then recalled the stories he heard about this man and calmed down.

...

Shi Lang appeared in front of the main office building of the war planet after he sensed the presence of his team there. Amelia stayed here with Shi Tao, she did not want to leave Shi Lang alone when he was immersed in deep cultivation. At this moment, she was discussing the arrangements regarding the alliance with the Spirit beasts with the general council as a special advisor.

Most of the people had no knowledge about the spirit beasts but Amelia has been communicating with Crystal and Moon frequently during the past few days and had a fair understanding of the circumstances of the other party. She was made aware of the bridge of immortality too but the matter was sensitive and the proposal to involve more researchers was scrapped, because the spirit beasts were sure that, research will not be sufficient to meet the goal, and at the same time more people will have more idea's and these ideas might cause them to divert from the main path.

Shi Lang walked into the meeting room without causing any disturbance, he found that his precious daughter was sitting in a corner, covered with an isolation array and she was cultivating diligently. While Amelia was discussing a few things, he did not disturb any of them and sat down in a corner too, his movements were soft and Amelia did not detect his arrival.

However, this made Shi Lang frown, as it seemed to him that the lady did not have spiritual awareness of what was happening around her. This could land her into trouble in the future if she did not develop a habit of this. He sat on the side waiting patiently for her to get done with the issue.

Fortunately, the remote meeting only lasted for thirty minutes and when the lady was about to stretch her limbs, Shi Lang said, "You need to be more aware of your surroundings, Amy."

Amelia was startled and said, "When did you come?"

Shi Lang replied nonchalantly, "About thirty minutes ago, when you were discussing things about the alliance."

Amelia put on a gaffe expression and said, "I did not notice at all, why do you walk so silently?"The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at n(0))vel(b)(j)(n).

Shi Lang put up a stern expression and said, "Amelia, do you think just because your realm is higher than the rest and you defeated that person from the Spirit beast group, you are some big shot? If you do not even know how to use your spiritual sense, you are just waiting for someone to sneak up and kill you or those dear to you. Do you get the point here?"

Amelia looked down at the floor, and she realized her mistake, the lady has not been putting cultivation very seriously ever since she reached the primordial soul realm and only when she faced Unity and the agonizing pressure did she understand what it meant to be strong, all the Mahayana level experts on the high council of the citadel had put up a humble front making her ignore the facts that those people could destroy the entire federation in a few blinks.

Thinking about this the lady was ashamed, she had made up her mind that she will be doing her best to excel but the clerical work had made her divert from her goal. The young man watched her blaming herself and did not say anything to make her feel better.

A few minutes later, Amelia said, "Lang, if I resigned from my post in the military, what will you think of it?"

Shi Lang raised his brow and said, "If doing so will make you focus more on your cultivation, then do it. You will also have more time to interact with the experts of the beast clan. They are all far more experienced in battles and have a much higher competitive spirit than the Terrans."

Amelia nodded and asked, "If possible, I would like to retain my position in the school, or I can just join you in your squad."

Shi Lang shrugged and said, "You will have to go through the tests of the strike force and then you can join our squad, however, that place is not somewhere Tao must go."

Amelia and Shi Lang looked at the little girl and they fell into deep thought. Suddenly, Shi Lang's communicator vibrated and he received a message from Jill, opening it he sighed and said, "I have to go back to report at the strike force command center. Something big is about to go down. If you notice any intruders in the territories around Federation, you will immediately contact the high-council of the Citadel and ask them for support in dealing with these intruders, do you understand?"

Amelia frowned and asked, "What do you mean to say? What is happening?"

Shi Lang sighed and said, "I am at odds with one of the big fives in the galaxy and I have given them a hard blow to deal with. They might be sneaking around to strike at us. You know it well that a hidden arrow is hard to defend against than a spear in light. I will go and try to drag them into light, but you all must put up a firm guard around our home."

Amelia understood that the matter was crucial, she nodded and bade Shi Lang farewell, then she relayed the entire issue to the general council and before Shi Lang had even left the place with his squad, the entire federation was put on high alert.

The young general stood inside the command bridge of the spaceship with a cold expression on his face, and he mumbled, "Since you want a war, I will give you a war that leaves behind nothing but destruction only."
