Chapter 688 Asura's Goal.
Shi Lang checked on his disciples and became busy with Yang Niao. The selected heads of departments were all called for a meeting. These people did not know what Shi Lang was up to but knew he would not harm them. In the past few months, the ranks of the hall members have risen a lot.
Shi Lang watched everyone arrive and asked, "Why do I see changes in the heads of departments?"
Yang Niao replied, "These people have risen through ranks, and they bested the previous heads of departments, and so unanimously they were promoted."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "It is fine to entertain the idea of internal competition, but ensure that no bad blood will develop in this hall. If I find anyone disrupting the unity and harmony of the hall members, I will personally skin the culprit and hang it on the gate. Understood?"
The people stiffened and replied, "Yes, hall master!"
They could understand why he said these words. After all, this hall was something that he bought together, and recently, they have discovered the benefits of unity and strength. Shi Lang heard their response and said, "Do we have any master builders in our numbers?"
Yang Niao thought briefly and said, "Brother Tei Pang has some knowledge about this matter. Shall I call him over?"
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I have a few plans about the hall. Also, please ask someone to retrieve my old communicator from the storage vault."
Yang Niao nodded and quickly asked some disciples to finish the two tasks. Although most people in the Asura hall were of the same age, they all followed a strict hierarchy. A chain of commands was etched in their being by now.
However, what they were about to face now would leave an impression they could never forget. The two tasks were simple because the Falling Bird Sect was not established in a big area. Tie Pang and the communicator were present in the main hall.
Shi Lang collected the communicator and initiated a booting sequence. He said, "Asura Hall is a place that should excel in information collection, espionage, infiltration, and assassination. However, at the same time, we must all have no problem dealing with the threats head-on. We have acquired a lot of technique manuals in the past, and the Sect is better protected now. However, this is not the final goal. We need to work harder and strive harder. Only then can we reach the peak."
The people agreed with him but did not know what he was doing with his communicator. After a few minutes, Shi Lang said, "Brother Tei Pang, these are the plans of the structure I want you to construct inside the mountain."
The people were shocked. Shi Lang did not care about them and said, "As you all know, I am an ascender. In my world, this labyrinth used to be the training ground. We did not have access to spiritual energy inside the labyrinth, which helped us develop nice skills. The more familiar you are with your body, the better skill execution you achieve."
Yang Niao asked, "Hall Master, do you wish us to train in this place and not use spiritual energy?"
Shi Lang nodded and said, "It will be hard because the labyrinth will be laced with killing arrays, illusion arrays, and even automatic spirit rifles. A group of people will use the observation array to monitor the condition of the trainees; if they are severely injured, the training will stop, and they will be carried out to heal. If the injuries are light and the trainee needs to heal, they must find a way out of the place alone. Unless the risk of your injury is life-threatening, the training will not stop."
The people were shocked, and you need to understand that they had to face all these things without any augmentation of spiritual energy. Tei Pang asked, "Hall Master, when shall I begin?"
Shi Lang said, "As soon as possible, bring along as many brothers or sisters as you need to finish the construction within a week."
Tei Pang was shocked, but Shi Lang said, "Do not use your normal tools, but spiritual energy to excavate and reinforce the structure. It will save you a lot of time."
The architect, Tie Pang, was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect Shi Lang to say something like this. He said, "Hall Master, leave this task to us."
Shi Lang realized that it was the immortal plane and that the people should know their tasks. He had overstepped his boundary and said, "I apologize for teaching the master, Brother Tei."
The people smiled, looking at their high and mighty Hall Master acting like a rookie. This was a rare sight. After the meeting finished, the departments were flung into action. After all, the construction was not going to be finished for free. Shi Lang guided the people to send the communicators to the Jade Towers.
Jade Tower was a big name, and they had sufficient capital, so the staff of the Jade Towers had already received instructions from Fairy Moon Jade to accept the people from the Asura Hall and not investigate them.
This was the courtesy she displayed to Shi Lang. The terran was an important ally of hers; this was the least she could do. Shi Lang was not bad, either. He sent two of the latest communicators to her as gifts. One was meant for her, and the other for Tian Long. Shi Lang wanted to optimize the income and told the lady they could create a custom decoration to add a personalized touch to the communicator.
The rich and strong wished to stand out no matter what realm it was. Shi Lang was no less of a money-clinching capitalist. They had negotiated a split of seventy-thirty. Shi Lang took seventy, and Jade Tower took thirty. This was something the lady had no problem with. She was only selling it and acquiring an even higher commission than usual.
She was not greedy because this business would bring her many other opportunities, and she would grow rich. On the other hand, she will gain Shi Lang's forces as an ally. Given how tricky this guy was, how can the forces he created be shallow?
While all this was happening, Shi Lang also focused on his cultivation. The people from the lost bird sect began to venture out in disguise, disposing of all the dirt and stones dug up from the mountain. The entire Asura Training Hall was based upon Tartarus' tower back in Mythia, but the opening of the towers was so simple that it looked nothing more than a well.
Yes, the Asura Hall hid the most crucial facility in the plane's sight, so if some expert in the higher realm were to visit them, the spirit restriction arrays blended with a fake flooring mechanism would give off the impression of a dry well. This was what Shi Lang wanted.
The power of spiritual arrays was so high that fooling a high-level expert was possible. Another example of hiding in plain sight was the disciples. They all wore normal clothes, but their faces were covered with masks that changed their appearance. The people could not tell that it was a mask until they scanned it with a spiritual sense.
Shi Lang also guided a division of craftsmen in looking for some people to start a chem lab. When he told them that the metallurgy and other things would help them create more advanced devices they became curious. Shi Lang had retrieved the data from his communicator and handed it to them.
Maybe at that moment, these people did not realize the significance of this, but in the coming five years, they would create a name for themselves that would shock many people and even strike fear in the hearts of people who intended to do bad.
In a week, the Asura Hall had changed a lot. Under Shi Lang's instruction, the people had gathered many mathematicians who had been neglected in the world of power. These people swore oaths to Shi Lang and pursued the peak of mathematics. However, they were settled far away from the original Asura Hall for safety reasons.
These people would work with the metallurgy and craftsman departments to create advanced communicators and computing devices. These devices will need a knowledge of mathematics and other sciences. Shi Lang had not only given the people a knowledge database but also entire details of inventions from the very first vacuum tube made by humans to the latest holographic communicator.
He would monopolize the tech in this world and use it to make Asura Hall a giant that overlooked everything from the shadows. He was not going to release all these things to the public all of a sudden, or those old fellows would come after him and his people like they did for the rifle and the communicator this time.
He was going to set up a place in the light and one in the dark. The Asura was going to dwell in both of them and rule the world silently.
