Shi Lang was dwelling in the Dao Plain for several months and he didn't return back even once. All this because he was tempering himself. Gradually as he fought, the prowess he displayed increased. He stopped holding back in his battles and as soon as someone directed a shred of killing intent towards him, Shi Lang reaped lives.
The battles and killings have increased so much that the Terran was featured in a book called the people one must avoid at all costs. Although Shi Lang was ranked low in the list, but his presence meant that he had the power to kill those similar or below his realm. Many races held back the information that Shi Lang had killed the people considered to be half step sages, otherwise, his rank would be even higher.
Well, who would want their enemy to benefit? The Terran had finished tempering himself and his Dao Tree had bore fruits. It was time for him to go back and see if he can break through the realm of sages.
