Faces Of Life.

Shi Lang sat on the ground, assuming the lotus position and Shadow Blade stood behind him. He said, "You can try and sense the sphere with your spirit energy and then try to resonate and refine it." 

The terran nodded and closed his eyes to meditate and sense the sphere. He was not hesitant, and the spirit phantoms revealed no malice toward him. Shi Lang closed his eyes and began to channel his spiritual energy inside the sphere. He could sense some strong resistance from the sphere but did not stop. 

He was not using an aggressive approach because if that happened. The resistance would increase. The energy could counter him. The best outcome in that situation would be death; the worst would be crippled cultivation.
