The Geared Immortal

Chapter 503

/*unedited*/

An eerie environment immediately envelopes the whole room and the people inside it felt the hair on their skin started to stand on end. They didn't know what is happening except for the young man who is currently standing beside the Kang bed where two people are lying unmoving on the ground.

Shine Jiao carefully watches the soul essence slowly devour the two blobs in the air.

"No! No! Stop this! This is impossible! How can you see me? Nooo…"

"Stop! Do you know who I am? I will kill you! If I get out of here I will devour your soul as a whole!"

The two blobs cried out as their figure slowly get smaller and smaller. Suddenly, Shin Jiao extended his hand and grabs the small soul essence in the air.

As if feeling his oppressive presence, the small floating light orb shivered and stopped absorbing the two blobs.

"You have given harmed them enough. Now if you don't want to disappear, return what you took from them." Shin Jiao said with a cold voice.

"How dare a little mortal tell me what to do? I am an immortal! I will not bow down… to… No… stop! Stop!" the blob shouted as when he began shouting, Shin Jiao began absorbing his essence once again.

"I repeat, return what you took… or die…" Shin Jiao repeated in a cold tone.

The two blobs look at each other and suddenly as if with a tacit understanding since they belong to just one mind and one personage, they flew towards the ground. However, what they didn't expect is the appearance of a golden light barrier.

The golden light began to glow and stops them on their tracks. And with a loud wailing sound, the two flew back to the air.

When Shin Jiao saw the floating thing in the air and the soul essence coming out of his dantian, he suddenly remembers a flag figure that he seems to have faced. But the memory was too vague. But what he can recall is that he let that opponent escape due to his lack of preparation.

And its escape route is the ground.

Hence, he has already secretly spread his domain and created the holy barrier.

"Do you think it's that easy. Since you wanted to die, then let me do the honors." Shin Jiao said as he once again controlled the soul essence and began absorbing the two blobs.

In truth, Shin Jiao can now feel the exponential growth of his soul essence. He didn't know its purpose and what to do with it, but he is sure that it has its own purpose. So he just let it absorb the blobs. And since he is able to control the soul essence by will, he is sure that he can return the absorbed energy from the two people lying on the bed.

However, he still wanted to learn something about the immortal plane from the blob, so he is a bit reluctant to kill it yet.

Shin Jiao didn't know if they would cooperate or would succumb to this torture, but what he knew is that cultivators value their lives more than others, hence he is a bit expectant that what he is doing will bore result.

And true to his conjecture the two blobs suddenly combine into one and immediately form into a person. It was a figure of a naked woman.

"What the hell is this thing thinking?" Shin Jiao curses as he looks at the naked figure floating in the air.

"Do you want to die that badly?" Shin Jiao suddenly said in a cold tone.

When the blob heard this, it suddenly spins and then the woman now wears a white silky gown.

"Geez, I thought you men in this world like naked women… I would always hear from others in this place about them bragging on how they spend the night with a beauty…" the woman grumble as she sat while floating.

"Is this your true form?" Shin Jiao asked with a bit of curiosity.

"Yeah, basically… why?"

"So you are a woman?"

"Umm… yes, on your planet you call me woman… but on my planet, I'm called differently… however, until now I still can't figure out how to say it in your language… anyway, I came from the immortal plane, but before that, I came from a world where women are superior to men… actually."

When Shin Jiao heard this he raised an eyebrow.

"Really?!"

"Yes, really…"

However, before the two could converse more, Yao Mai suddenly stepped forward.

"Ma… Master Ji… what is happening?" she asked in a low voice.

Shin Jiao just showed her a signal to wait.

"So, since you came from the immortal plane and from a different planet, how come you are here?"

"Hihi… Well, you see this planet and the planet I came from are neighboring planets. In fact, we can see this planet every 500 cycles or 500 years. But the problem is we thought that this huge planet is filled with gas. So we thought that it is inhabitable. So after I died in the immortal plane, my undying soul flew here."

"I can't understand why you have to devour souls to live. Souls are undying, why devour them?"

"Ah… that's a secret… I can't tell you anything about that, you just have to wait till you enter the immortal plane, then you will understand."

"Anyway, return the power you've taken from these two… I don't care about the souls you have devoured, but they need to wake up soon."

"Yes… yes… if I do that, can… can you spare me?"

"I'll think about it… since you need souls to return to the immortal world, who knows how many atrocities you will commit."

"No! No! I promise to be good… please…"

Shin Jiao can see the pleading look on the beautiful face of the blob turned woman. But his heart is already settled to not let it go as he is not sure what it would do next.

"Alright how about this… I will make a soul bound oath… I will not take the life of those who do not harm others… I will only take the life of those with too much negative karma… what do you think?" the woman said trying to ask if her condition was enough.

Shin Jiao is aware of these so-called soul bound oath, it is a sacred bound that would make one's soul suffer once they violate the oath. Not many cultivators would do this as it has a great effect on their progression in the future, but they're also those who do not care. They would do the oath and still break them without a care for their future progression.

"Hmm… I will think about it… by the way, how long were you an immortal before dying in the immortal plane?" Shin Jiao just asked in curiosity.

"Oh, me? Not that long… I think… I think it's around two hours in the immortal plane that means around 200 years in the lower realms."

"Pfft!" Shin Jiao almost laughed upon hearing this.

How weak could this person be to die in just two hours after becoming an immortal? Well, dying in that place is not real death. It's just losing one's physical body. From what he heard from this person, as long as she could accumulate enough immortal souls then she could form her physical body again.

"Hey, don't laugh and mock me? When I was there, it suddenly found myself in the middle of the war you know… I was too weak and… Hey! You tricked me! I'm not talking to you…" suddenly she pouted as she turns around and crossed her arms.

"I guess due to not talking with others for a long time, you became a blabbermouth. Hahaha… anyway, we have a deal, but you have to follow me from now on. Once I made sure that you are not a danger to others, then I will hear your oath."

Hearing Shin Jiao's condition, the woman seems reluctant but also felt a bit hesitant. She knew that she could not overpower this guy with strange abilities. So she just weakly nodded her head and headed back to the bed.

She extended her hands and began pouring the energy from her body back to the two people lying on the ground.

"Oh, by the way… how did you get here?" Shin Jiao suddenly asked out of nowhere.

"Well, in truth I was inside a stone and seem to have been trapped in there. For a long time, I could not come out of that stone…" she said as she pointed as a shiny fist-size stone at the corner of the bed.

"I was able to absorb soul memory and energy through that… it's been a long time since then. And then just a few years ago I was able to escape the stone… and this is thanks to these two."

When he heard the words from the woman, Shin Jiao's absolute sense immediately scanned the stone. And luckily he did use his absolute sense because he discovers an invisible cursed array below the stone. It was a very weird array and it seems not of this world.

When Shin Jiao saw this, he immediately saw the changes in the woman's expression.

"What… a… good… stone…" Shin Jiao suddenly said in a robotic tone with his eyes turning lifeless.

When this happened one of the people inside the room suddenly had a change of expression. And the floating woman who is currently giving back the energy to the two people stopped.

Then a big grin immediately appears on her face…

"Hahaha… What a foolish person! Do you think you can control me? I may not be the greatest immortal, but with my own strength, I was able to ascend… do you think a pup like you can go against me? In your dream! Hihihi! Hahaha!" the woman laughed loudly.
