The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1366

…

"You are able to break my protection array and even control my own creation? Surely you have surpassed my knowledge in technology. If I have focused on such a thing, then I would have given you my own legacy." a female voice said which startled Xin Ja.

"But, I am not someone who dabbles in smithing and crafts, so my legacy will not suit you. But I would give this strange object which I have found many years ago on this planet…" the voice said as the screen suddenly flickers and then what Xin Ja saw is a strange crystal.

"This is a… memory crystal…" he muttered.

He is familiar with such crystals because he had seen them from the virtual records. It is something that helped him in his previous life as Shin Jiao.

Then he saw something at the side of the memory crystal which suddenly froze him on the spot.

There is a manual with a thick cover. The book itself has many pages and from the looks of it, it looks ancient.

As Xin Ja looks at the language used in the book, he frowned because he is not familiar with it.

"That is one strange book…" he muttered.

"I can only give this to you… For my legacy, I will have to hand it over to the woman behind you…" the voice said.

Suddenly, a green light appears and landed on Jing Xue's forehead. Even with her strength, she was helpless and reluctantly accepted the legacy.

Xin Ja knew that it would take a while before she could receive the legacy so he decided to take the memory crystal and the book to the other room.

As he walks to a wall, he just pressed his palm on the surface and it opened automatically.

Inside that room, he could feel a strange atmosphere of modernity and technology. From the information he read from the screen, this room is actually not built by the Shen who owns this abode.

She found this room and decided to integrate it into her abode.

As Xin Ja enters the room, he could feel that something or someone is watching him.

Suddenly from the side, a small flying sphere appear and flew towards him.

He became wary and on guard and almost attacked when the object suddenly shoot green lights from something that looks like its eyes.

The green lights seem to have scanned him from head to toe and then stopped as the little object flew back to where it came.

"Welcome stranger…" a female voice startled Xin Ja.

But the voice seems not from a person but instead sounds… mechanical.

He carefully looks around and as he walked a figure made of light suddenly appears in front of him. That figure looks like a female wearing a soft silver robe.

"Hello, I am the Artificial Intelligence managing this escape pod. You seem to be a native of this world, would you like to learn more about who we are?" the woman from the light said.

"Artificial Intelligence? An AI?" Xin Ja muttered.

When the AI heard him, her expression seems to have changed.

"Yay! I never expected to find someone who knows about my jargon…" she said as if feeling happy.

"You know common language… Hmm… This would be easier…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

"Yes, of course… I know that this planet is called Myrth, and this is a strange planet but almost the same as my previous one…"

"Your previous one? What planet did you come from?"

"Error! Error! That information is erased from my database… It seems that I cannot access or retrieve this data anymore…"

"Anyway, before the last craftsman left this pod, I was tasked to present to you these objects… If you can absorb what is in the crystal, then you can take the book out of this place…" she suddenly added.

Xin Ja is actually now curious about what the content of that crystal is, so he looks at it and then walked toward it.

After he touches the crystal, it slowly glowed. He then focused his Ki energy on the crystal but nothing happened.

This made Xin Ja frown.

Then an idea dawned on him and he bit his finger.

As the blood dropped on the crystal's surface, suddenly noticed it glowing and then floated directly over his head.

Without warning, a large amount of memory suddenly enters his thought and Xin Ja was able to discover a lot of things from it.

More than an hour has passed…

Jing Xue opened her eyes and suddenly staggered feeling a bit groggy.

She did not expect to accept such a rich amount of knowledge from the legacy. She knew that with that knowledge in her mind she can now excel in medicine just like the owner of the abode who was once a very famous medical master in the whole empire.

But what she did not understand is the task given to her to go to the other side of the planet.

Well, she knew of the chasm on the other side of the planet which is the boundary of the vast sea.

But to be able to go to that place, she has to reach the Shen realm, and that is something that she would be having a hard time doing.

To reach the Shen realm, she has to reach the Ki-Grandmaster realm first. But to reach such a realm would take time for her, so she feels a bit conflicted with that task.

While frowning, she suddenly looks at the room and noticed that Xin Ja is actually not in the place.

She looks around the place once again and decided to wait since he is not there.

She once again closes her eyes and then the legacy became clear in her mind.

"Divine healing art…" she muttered while her mind quickly reads through the pages in her mind.

She did not know how long she has been sitting in cross-legged but once she opened her eyes, she quickly noticed that Xin Ja is already sitting calmly on the side while tinkering with something strange.

"Where have you been?" she suddenly asked.

When Xin Ja heard her words, he lifted his head and then quickly kept the things on the table in his ring.

"I just explored this place…" he said while smiling calmly.

"Well, I think we should leave this place…" she said then stopped when her eyes landed on the people inside a room.

"Let's transfer them outside…" she pointed at the people inside a room.

Xin Ja nodded his head and typed some commands on the keyboard.

After the command, they saw from the screen a few lights flashing and sending those unconscious people out of the recovery room.

Then Xin Ja decided to clean the recovery room of the corpses which have stayed in that place for a very long time.

Right now, he is not worried about anything in this place anymore as everything is already in the grasp of his hand.

He even decided to take all of the belongings of those that die due to time in the recovery room while waiting for Jing Xue to open his eyes.

In this event, Xin Ja knew that he has gained something. He looks at Jing Xue and then said.

"I've taken some of the things of those that have died in the recovery room… Do you want…"

Jing Xue lifted her hand and stopped him.

"Those are yours… If you want to have anything from these treasures in here, you can also have them…" she pointed at the door outside where the piles of treasure are.

Xin Ja shook his head. Those things might be good and all, but he has already scanned them and they are only some metal, Ki stones, and some precious gems.

He already has many of those in his ring that he could not even use, why would he add more junk to his inventory?

"I'm good, I think we should also go out. We're already done here…" Xin Ja said as he walked to the exit.

"Wait… You said that your dantian is broken, right?" Jing Xue called while grabbing his wrist.

As soon as she did, she immediately sent her energy to his meridians and then to his dantian. She suddenly frowned when she noticed something peculiar in his dantian.

"You… You're only the 1st level Ki-Fighter? No… No, that is impossible… But…" she felt a bit confused but did not ask more about it.

"I will give you a prescription. Take this with a healing potion and your dantian would be healed. Plus, you might even break through to the 2nd level…" she said while she began writing things on a piece of paper.

When she handed the paper to Xin Ja, he quickly reads it and his eyes suddenly went wide in realization.

"This… Why did I not think about that herb...? This is really amazing, thank you, senior, for your help…" Xin Ja did not hesitate to cup his hand and bowed.

But she stopped him and quickly catches his shoulder.

"You help me and I help you… Now we don't owe each other, right?" she suddenly said with a crafty smile.

Xin Ja could not help but nods his head in agreement with her words.

When they walked out of the control room, everything is already empty and only the control room is there.

Even the escape pod is already gone from the secret area.
