Hao Ren had just finished the tribulation and was changing his clothes when he saw a huge meteor flying over the city at a high speed and then huge shockwave caused the world to shake. He could visibly see the ripple in the void. He dashed towards the city and thankfully found the city barrier holding on under the tough condition.
He looked at Han Lingshi who was instructing everyone to check various aspects, and said, "I am going ahead to check the situation at the epicenter."
Han Lingshi nodded and then Hao Ren whoosed away. His speed was very fast. He came least thousand kilometers away and found that the wilderness was hugely affected and the sky was covered with smoke. He frowned, if this smoke flew over to the capital or some other region it would spell a disaster.
He made a few seals with his hands and the wind began to circulate around him. The smoke which was spreading around was gathered in one place. Then Hao Ren guided it all in streams and plunged the smoke in a shallow water pit a few kilometers away. Then he used his fire control to get rid of the fire that was swallowing the forest like a hungry demon.
He then found a two hundred meter wide rock embedded in the floor. However, just when Hao Ren was about to move, he was shocked. He sensed vital energy radiating from the stone. He could not understand what was going on so he first made a quick circle around the rock and used his Yin and Yang eyes.
Under the inspection he noticed an intersection of lines running all along the rock, and they were absorbing spiritual energy. He was sure that it was not a normal rock, but what kind of thing was it? He waved his hand and created an isolation barrier around the rock. The lines that were glowing from the absorption of energy began to fall dim, and gradually vanish.
Even under the inspection of the Yin and Yang eyes Hao Ren could not see anything. The young man frowned and decided to wait what would happen next. As he waited for a couple of hours, Ye Jill appeared beside him.
Hao Ren asked, "How are things there?"
Ye Jill said, "Before the impact, the palace was put above the ground level, and the experts were dispatched to protect the elders and the childrens. Their have been some structural compromises, that's all."
Hao Ren thought for a bit and asked, "Anything major?"
Ye Jill shook her head and asked, "What is going on with this thing?"
Hao Ren shrugged and said, "It was absorbing spiritual energy through small ley lines on the surface, and I isolated it. It has been silent since then."
Ye Jill nodded and then she took out a spear from her space ring and threw it at the rock. Hao Ren was shocked and the young lady said, "Whoever is inside, come out, or I will keep on attacking."
The spear yip pierced the stone and then with a wave of Ye Jill's hand it flew back. She was ready to attack, when Hao Ren raised his hand and said, "Stop."
Ye Jill put down the weapon and saw Hao Ren flying over to the spot where the spear had left a hole. Yes, it left a hole in the surface of the rock. Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "Jill, go and prepare an isolated space inside the palace, and make sure that the wing is completely empty of staff, only the upper echelon are allowed access. Go, I will be coming over soon."
Ye Jill did not say anything and dashed away. The Ye Generals lived to serve him, and that was proved many times over. Hao Ren used the hole as a peeping hole, and he found that this meteor was actually a spaceship. He recalled what the system has told him earlier and said, 'System, fucking open this ship and let me inside.'
*Ding: Host, do you think that the system is omnipotent? Locate the hatch and you will find a way to open it. Do something on your own, fucker.*
Hao Ren clenched his fist and began to move around the meteor, touching and feeling the surface with his hands. After a few minutes, his strength caused a ten meter wide panel to sink in and pop back. Hao Ren put distance between himself and the meteor while he took out his sword.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous. After all, he was dealing with something that belonged to an alien world. He stepped inside the opening and looked around carefully. Looking at the surface of the interior Hao Ren found the similar lay lines running along every inch of the surface. He took a deep breath and used his Yin and Yang eyes to record the details etched on the surface of these ley lines.
Suddenly, his hair stood on its ends, and he spotted a figure dashing toward him with something similar to a gun in his hand. Hao Ren took out the true dragon shield and raised it up to defend against a ray of energy that was fired at his person. The impact caused him to reel a little, and it surprised him as he was sure that this attack was pure spiritual energy.
He could not understand how this technology worked, and he did not have the time to ponder over it either. The young man exerted some strength and he vanished from his spot. Then he appeared very close to the figure, and he found that it was a robot. Instead of destroying it completely, Hao Ren said, "Titan Boxing: Falling Mountain Punch."
A supersonic punch made contact with the torso of the robot and sent it flying. Although it did not deal significant damage it definitely rattled the body of the robot. The thing was still trying to move, but Hao Ren figured that some vital parts must have been rendered damaged by the punch.
He moved forward to attack the robot once more, but the robot said, "Stop, help. We come in peace."
Hao Ren stopped and furrowed his brows as he asked, "You are clearly intelligent then why the hell did you attack me earlier? You claim that you come in peace but that's just because I am stronger than you."
The robot issued some mechanical noises, and said, "I apologize, the defense mode was turned on when you opened the hatch from outside. I was going to come out but my master cannot yet leave the cryo pod or she will die. Ingenious human, I ask you to help us, in return we will trade a lot of technological and spiritual knowledge that will give you an edge over the rest of your civilization."
Hao Ren put back his sword and took out a talisman. He said, "I will summon my people over, they will take you and your master to a safe space, at the same time, is there a way for you to reduce the size of this vessel? I am sure that the ley lines are inlaid with shrinking runes."
The robot was left speechless, Hao Ren liked this fact and said, "What? Do you think that humans do not have any knowledge of how things work?"
The robot shook his head and replied, "Well, you have certainly surprised me by figuring out this much in such a brief duration. I agree to cooperate with you, but you have to take a blood oath. I cannot lead you to my master without any guarantee. If you refuse to go along, you can use force to destroy me and spend the rest of your life and try to get through to the master chamber doors. However, you would be wasting your time, and my master is strong enough to erase this piece of land from existence even when she is injured."
Hao Ren thought about it and said, "I will only take the blood oath of helping you and that is all."
The robot agreed and the young man took an oath. Then he used the talisman and summoned Ye Lan, Ye Yue and Ye Peng. The three appeared very quickly with their battle armaments on. The trio asked, "Big Brother, your commands?"
Hao Ren told them what transpired and how he needed them to keep an eye on this robot. The robot did not say anything but observed the trio with its glassy eyes. Hao Ren really wanted to open up the parts and see how this guy was working.
It did not take long for them to move the robot who was carrying a fist size stone in his palms to the palace. Han Lingshi came over to Hao Ren, and she first ran her gaze all over and the young man blushed as he said, "Wife, there are so many people here." Get full chapters from novel_fіre.net
The tigress empress smacked his shoulder and asked, "How dare you swear a blood oath? What if these people are enemy? What will we do? Do you remember that you are the Emperor here?"
Hao Ren scratched the back of his head and said, "Well, I did say that I will not harm them till they do not harm us. That counts as insurance, no?"
Han Lingshi rolled her eyes and said, "For your sake, it should be like that. Or see how I will have you kneel on thumbtacks."
Hao Ren shivered, before Han Lingshi said, "Come, let us see what this guy is."
The young man nodded and looked at Ye Yue, "Seal the news of what happened today, completely. The blood tower might be coming over to seek trouble if they find out about it."
Ye Yue nodded and left the place while Hao Ren and Han Lingshi went to the isolated wing to find out more about the robot.
