The Geared Immortal

Repairing Gubu's ring

/*unedited*/

The supposed 30 minutes time frame that Shin Jiao has set has turned into 3 days. Shin Jiao sent some soldiers to inform the base of the plan.

This plan made the entire group of scientists on the team really happy. This is because they can have more chances to do research on the flora of the new world.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao and Mary Anderson are concentrating on absorbing the Qi and mana in the air. After a day, Shin Jiao has now filled the spheres in his dantian to full. Although he didn't need that much power, he still needs it to prevent any mishaps from happening.

From where he is seated, he began to tinker with the broken ring of Gubu in his hand.

"This ring is more complicated than I thought. It has several layers of protection and micro runes which unlike that of Gubu's creation… I'm guessing that this ring might not be completely made by Gubu alone." Shin Jiao thought as he checked the ring after removing the camouflage hiding it.

The matrix and the biometric scanners inside the ring are also broken. However, luckily for Shin Jiao, the blood DNA sequencing rune command is still functioning, hence he can easily access the ring once it is fixed.

Using his absolute sense, which is now very strong than his previous one, he began to see through the ring's inner structure.

And to Shin Jiao's amazement, he discovers the secret of creating a spatial tool that can store things. From the millions of rune codes in the ring, he slowly learned and digested everything. His brain has already been enhanced and is like a computer HDD drive that has unlimited space. This ability along with his rune comprehension made him confident that he can crack the code of Gubu's ring.

When he was still in the lower cultivation realms, he is unable to do these kinds of things as there is always a limit to his power. But now that he reached the infant soul realm which is only one step towards the nascent realm, he can now have the strength and enough power to craft and even repair Gubu's ring.

But that was just what Shin Jiao thought.

Because as he draws closer, he noticed another complex array of rune programs inside another layer of the ring which made him confused and a bit stunned.

"This is… this is not like the normal rune that I have learned so far. These runes… I think these kinds of rune patterns are able to command the heavens and the earth. This… these are deity level runes!" Shin Jiao gasped in astonishment.

As he began learning the runes he can feel his head and his concentration becoming blurry. So Shin Jiao decided to stop.

"I think, I already have enough knowledge to fix the ring… Hmmm… Let's start then…" Shin Jiao muttered as he begins to carefully fix the crack on the ring.

Shin Jiao didn't realize that the three days he has set are already at an end as he has spent three days learning the runes in the ring. Plus his touch in the knowledge on the Deity level runes.

However, fixing Gubu's ring only took his 30 minutes as he has predicted.

After he has finished fixing the ring, he lifted his head and slowly stretched his body. But then his attention was interrupted by a loud explosion.

Shin Jiao is currently sitting inside a room within the ruins. He put up a protection barrier so that he would not be disturbed.

Upon hearing the explosion he already knew that there is something going on outside.

Shin Jiao walked out of the small room in the ruins and saw a large creature standing near the area of the portal. On the opposite side of the beast is a group of men and women floating in the air. And some of them are wearing mechanized suits which made them look like those robots in an anime.

Shin Jiao saw the scientist taking pictures of the scene while hiding behind the stones. Meanwhile, Shin Jiao could not find Mary anywhere.

"Hey, where is the Princess?" Shin Jiao asked a soldier standing with a rifle in the ready.

The soldier was a bit surprised by the question, but when he realized who the person was he pointed at the group of people standing on another location while looking at the giant beast.

"Why is she outside?" Shin Jiao asked in confusion.

He knew that is she was inside the camouflaged ruin the beast would have a hard time finding the place as it just looks like a hill with some rocks on it. However, what made Shin Jiao a bit confused is the familiarity of Mary to the people around her. It felt like the group has camaraderie.

Suddenly he saw the beast charging towards the group of combined cultivators and the people wearing mechanized suits.

Bzzt!!!

Peng! Pow!

Boom!

The explosion of magic power and laser being thrown at the beast made the ground shake. But Shin Jiao knew that it was useless as the beast the group is facing is a hybrid 4th level beast, a land dragon.

Unlike flood dragons, land dragons dwell in rocky terrain and would seldom come down to hunt prey. What confuses Shin Jiao is the reason why the 4th level hybrid land dragon is in the border of the middle part of the Daemon forest.

He then carefully checked the body of the land dragon with his absolute sense and saw the wounds in it which seem to have been caused by a more powerful beast.

"I'm guessing that this is the beast that accidentally found the space crack… if it has retreated in this place then it only means one thing. It is being chased by a more powerful beast." Shin Jiao deduced.

With this thought, he immediately spreads his absolute sense along with his spiritual sense. And from the portal's radius, he saw another 4th level large creature hiding.

But the spread of his spiritual sense was detected by everyone in the area even the beasts.
