The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1075

(Unedited)

…

What is karma? It is the supposed result of one's previous actions where it is good or evil. Karma is the result of those actions, the culmination of its essence and its memories. The entire universe and the other planes lived by many different laws. But one law does not change, and that is the law of karma.

Feeling a bit groggy, Xin Ja slowly opens his eyes and found himself lying on the ground beside a thick tree. As he slowly wakes up from his dazed state, he felt like everything he just experienced is just a dream. When he wanted to move, he suddenly feels that something is wrong. Then his eyes slowly shifted to the figure lying in-between his arms.

Upon seeing her, Xin Ja could not help but blush especially when the beautiful young woman is lying in-between his arms.

Yao Xue seems defenseless and seems to feel comfortable cuddling his arms like a little kitten.

The redness on Xin Ja's face began to spread making his face look like a ripe tomato.

As a young man, Xin Ja also knew about the opposite sex. He knew of men and women and the intricate relationship between the opposite sexes. In his readings from before, he has learned of the story about chivalry and heroism and things that men do just to attract the attention and affection of the woman they fancy.

Although he has not experienced this yet in this life, he is not as innocent as someone who has no idea of this kind of thing.

And right now, what he is feeling is an unknown attraction towards Yao Xue. But the problem is, the young woman already has a fiancée. She already has someone that she is supposed to be married to.

So no matter how he feels for her, he knew that he could not be with her because of her status and her situation.

While thinking to this point, the expression of Xin Ja turned a bit sheepish.

In the town of Ogden and even in the entire kingdom of Jimal, a woman who is already engaged in a marriage should not be interacting with other men. This is already considered a violation of the marriage laws and is considered as a desecration and dishonor to her partner and herself.

So in the eyes of the people, Yao Xue has already dishonored her husband.

And so upon thinking to this point, just to protect her honor, Xin Ja decided to stifle the budding feeling deep inside his heart for her sake.

He carefully lifted his other hand and slowly shakes Yao Xue's petite shoulder.

Xin Ja could not deny that her shoulder is very soft, and while she is in his arms, her sweet scent and soft body, almost made him lose his mind. But a dream would always be a dream, and sooner or later, he would have to wake up.

Xin Ja has decided that it would be good to wake up sooner than later.

"Ugh…" Yao Xue's long eyelashes flutter as her eyelids slowly open.

The proximity between them is very close, so when she opens her eyes, she could immediately see his handsome face.

Yao Xue was a bit bemused as she dazedly observes the handsome feature of the familiar youth. His long eyelashes, which perfectly fit, his almond-shaped eyes made her want to stare at them for a long time. She could tell that within those eyes are deep and hidden emotions that she could not seem to have a grasp.

But she was startled when she noticed that the familiar eyes are looking straight at her.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Xin Ja suddenly asked which immediately woke Yao Xue from her stupor.

With a blushing face, she shook her head and quickly got up.

She glance on the side and knew that she had made a blunder. She is actually lying in the arms of another man other than her fiancé. She feels a bit conflicted at this time as there is something wrong with what she is feeling.

When their eyes met, the two of them turn to the side and quickly blushed. Yao Xue has already noticed the red face of Xin Ja, so she turn to the side and then asked.

"You… you're red all over… Are you okay?" she asked in a shy tone.

Xin Ja bit his lower lip and nodded his head.

"Yeah, thank you for asking…" he unconsciously replied.

"What happened to the…" suddenly Yao Xue turned her gaze to the direction of the river.

She then saw that the supposed abode is now a piling heap of ruins. And now the flow of the water in the area seemed to be calmer.

"This… the water in the river is not that rapid anymore… What had happened inside the abode? Why were kicked out?" she muttered.

Xin Ja did not reply and just glance at the ruins in the middle of the river.

He seems to know what just happened and he could not help but heave a deep sigh. If those people knew that he has taken the entire precious legacy of Shen Immortal Wang Song, then he knew that he would really not have a peaceful day.

He would be a wanted man by the whole town and people will be chasing after him non-stop. But if he give the ring to them, then his life would still be forfeited as he has already drip his blood in the ring. For others to take the ring and own it, they might even need to end his life.

But of course, he is not sure if such a thing is true.

This is the first time he has gotten his hand on a very important treasure, no matter what he thinks, these are just his opinion, and also according to the information, he has gotten from Shin Jiao in his unique vision.

Xin Ja's eyes are glued to the now ruined abode and noticed the few people still lingering in the place.

Since the abode is already destroyed, then the traps and the restriction are already gone. This time, the old elders who were waiting outside seem to be deciding on something.

Suddenly, he noticed that a few of them suddenly jumped on the broken entrance door of the Shen abode ruin.

With a shake of his head, Xin Ja decided not to linger in this place anymore.

"We have to get out of here and continue our travels…" Xin Ja said to Yao Xue.

She just nodded her head and the two of them began moving.

While walking, Xin Ja is doing two things.

He is teaching Yao Xue about runes and making her carve them while they are moving.

"This is a good practice for you… I hope that when we reached the Ogden Southern Gate village you will now be able to create a rune array… Okay?" Xin Ja said with a smile.

He could not deny that Yao Xue is really talented when it comes to runes. He has been teaching him for a while now and she has already grasped the essence of rune arrays. But what Xin Ja noticed is that there are some powerful runes that Yao Xue could not understand nor touch. It is like there is a restriction in her mind from learning such runes.

And this has baffled Xin Ja for a while now. He could not understand why Yao Xue is unable to learn those runes. So he decided to teach her the basics and the diluted runes which he then discovered that she is able to learn.

And because of this, his mind began to think that there is something really strange about him, his unique vision, and also his own power.

In fact, what he could feel right now is something that he had never felt before. It is something that he did not expect to happen.

It was while they were resting and Yao Xue is practicing writing runes on her own and he was cultivating the chaotic Ki in the air. At that time, he suddenly feel strange, it was as if the powers of the heavens are pressuring him.

It even causes the sky to darken for a bit for a few seconds.

Then he could feel power coursing inside his body. But before he knew it something deep within him knew that he just had a breakthrough. When he opened his eyes, he noticed the darkened sky, and then suddenly the clouds slowly parted and the golden rays of the sun break through their darkness.

Xin Ja is feeling a bit flabbergasted. From what Shin Jiao has told him in one of his lessons, once he broke through to the deity level, which means his core will be bright gold, he would suffer a heavenly tribulation for his ascension to becoming a deity.

At that time, he already knew that he has reached the thing that he was dreaming of for a long time now. He has wanted to reach such heights so that he would not be labeled as useless trash by others. And who would have known that he would truly reach 1st level Ki fighter in this journey which many unexpected things have happened?
