The Geared Immortal

Chapter 721

(Unedited)

…

In the outskirts of the borderlands where a wide expanse of wilderness lays, a thick dark cloud slowly rose in the air and looms on the horizon.

In a particular town in the middle of the Osmond and Wine clan boundary, a huge town stood in the middle of a natural cliff wall with the height of thousands of meters reaching the clouds. For some mysterious reasons, the cliffs are deemed as impassable. This is because the farther you go up, the stronger the spiritual pressure one would encounter hence even those saint rulers of the races are not able to pass through this mysterious barrier.

And so for the humans, this place is the perfect defensive barrier that separates them and the other races.

This same mysterious boundary exists between the lands where the races are situated upon. And it has been in existence for eons.

But right at this moment a huge army of both the high elves and Zith'ra race is currently marching towards this particular well-defended border town called Malos.

Malos is jointly maintained by both the Wine and the Osmond clan. It is also considered as one of the strongest towns, which has already been turned into a fortress.

Above the tall black walls of the town, a person sitting in a cross-legged position suddenly opens his eyes and gazes to the horizon.

With his piercing eyes, he could see through the trees and the rocks until he could clearly see the huge army of both giant blue figures and high elves.

Looking at the number of figures on the horizon, the man frowns.

"It looks like they are going to spend half of their armies in this place." He muttered.

Then he carefully thinks for a bit.

"If this place falls, then humanity would surely suffer… we might even fall to slavery at this time."

His figure suddenly flashed and appears inside a large hall.

When he appears, all the people inside the hall who is discussing something suddenly stops.

"We great the High Lord…" everyone said in unison.

The man lifted his hand to stop them and then heaves a deep sigh.

"Tell everyone to prepare for war. The enemy is drawing closer… They would be arriving in a day or two."

Hearing the words from the high lord, everyone suddenly turned silent. They all knew that the Zith'ra and the High Elves would come back after their first failure.

However, they did not expect them to be back so soon.

…

While this is happening, outside of the town of Gipard, a lone figure could be seen walking along a tall cliff.

Shin Jiao did not notice this ever since he arrives in the town. He was too busy setting up his new way of earning more energy core and practicing the things he learned from Geun Man.

But today when going out and strolling in the town, he suddenly discovers this tall cliff which is a few kilometers away from the town.

As he stood at the bottom of a cliff he looks up and saw that it truly reaches the cloud that he could not see the peak. He immediately showed interest in this and then carefully touches the cliff wall.

As he focused he suddenly sent his consciousness towards the wall through his hand, upon doing so he was suddenly jolted back but is unable to release his hand on the wall.

Inside Shin Jiao's mind, complex arrays appear and powerful runes which made his body shudder in fear.

He knew that he just discover some big secret about the tall cliff that seems to surround the area.

As he continuously put his palm on the cliff wall severe pain assaulted his consciousness. He tried to hold on, he tried to persevere, but it was to no avail. The force and the amount of information entering his mind were truly huge that it made him faint.

Shin Jiao gain consciousness but he didn't how long he has fainted. Right now he could not see anything around him, everything is pitch-black.

In the darkness, Shin Jiao did not make any sound. He is already aware that if he did so, then those shadow creatures would suddenly appear out of nowhere and may attack him.

As of this moment, he dare not face anything as he is in an unknown place.

As he looks around, he was truly baffled. And now he already discovered that he is not in the same place. The place he is in right now seems not to be on a planet. This is because when he looks up, he could not see the sky or the stars.

"Where am I?" he muttered to himself as he looks around.

Suddenly, from the corner of his eyes, he noticed a flickering light. The first and only light he saw in this void of darkness.

As the light flickering speeds up so are his surroundings becoming clearer.

And now in front of his eyes floated a huge figure and this huge figure is someone whom he is familiar with. It was a huge figure of a god.

The god looks like a human, but a long fleshy tail wiggle gently behind him.

"Gaeus Ro…" Shin Jiao muttered as he suddenly went on a defensive stance.

It seems that the figure heard his muttering as its huge head slowly turns towards Shin Jiao's direction.

Upon seeing Shin Jiao's small figure, an evil grin suddenly appears on its huge face.

"Haha… We meet each other once again… human." Gaeus Ro said in a deep tone of voice.

"I have been looking for you… It seems that my wife and daughter did something. In fact, I have already recovered my immortal soul. But it seems that I was not strong enough to be in the front lines yet." Gaeus Ro said feeling a bit down.

"You woman… he soul is quite… unique. Human… you are not worthy of her. Your love for her would only poison her soul and pollute her true purpose. So I would give this time for the two for you to talk."

After Gaeus Ro said that, his figure suddenly vanished, and then a transparent figure that seems naked floated in the air. The woman is as beautiful as she had ever been since he saw her for the first time.

Shin Jiao could not help but become emotional after seeing her. He didn't know how long it has been and didn't even care. As in his mind, it has always been her. Susan Tang's soul looks at Shin Jiao and showed a faint smile.

"Susan…" Shin Jiao said as he suddenly stretched forth his hand to touch her face.

However, he could not feel her as she is only a soul.

"Shin… I've learned a lot about… me, about the purpose of life… about my destiny. I'm really happy to have learned about it here." She said in a voice that sounded like gentle wind blowing in Shin Jiao's ears.

"No… don't listen to them… please, believe in me. I will… I will take you back." Shin Jiao who was feeling sad and gloomy upon seeing her suddenly showed a panic expression in his eyes.

"I know you will do that… but Shin. We were not sealed before I was taken. So my soul is not bound by any heavenly power to you. I am still free right now, but after 100 years, I will have to choose either to find a partner or become a combat saint. I don't know if we could still see each other in this vast expanse of space from then on." She explained.

Shin Jiao was a bit dumbfounded.

He didn't know that the situation of Susan Tang would become like that. But 100 years is enough for him to be able to ascend to a saint immortal. For others, it might be impossible, but for him who has gained the knowledge of the maps of the stars and the knowledge from Geun Man, it is possible.

Shin Jiao clenches his fist as he gazes at Susan Tang with eyes of determination.

Suddenly, a figure appears beside Susan Tang. A beautiful woman wearing a long white gown made her looks heavenly.

The aura of the woman almost made Shin Jiao shake in fear. He knew that she is more powerful than he could ever imagine. She is exuding a powerful aura that he has never experienced or felt in his entire life, a power that is on another level.

"Goddess Nuah…" Shin Jiao muttered while his breathing suddenly increases as anger filled his heart.

"Nice to see you again, young mortal. I never would have expected you to be able to use the universal soul transmission skill. Anyway, I am just here to say that you will not need that physical body of your wife anymore. I will create a brand new vessel, an immortal body. Hihi… that's it. See you in 100 years… that is if you can. Hmm… I wonder where you are right now, I can't seem to locate you… that's weird."

Upon hearing her words, the heart of Shin Jiao was immediately in turmoil.

"No! Don't ever touch my wife! Don't you dare! I promise you, I will take her from your hands… And I will… I will… I will never forgive you all!" Shin Jiao shouted in anger and helplessness.

His words made Susan Tang lower her gaze. She knew how Shin Jiao feels about her, but she also knew that he is still not aware of the grand picture of things. She wanted to show him, she wanted him to know, but she could not divulge the things that she has heard and seen.

She is already aware of the great plan, but how could she tell it to him. So no matter how she loves him, she still could not say it.

She could only trust in Shin Jiao's promise and the 100 years of wait. She herself plans to improve her own power and strength, that way when the time comes for them to see each other again, she would be able to stand with him as an equal.

"Shin,… continue on fighting… I will wait for you, okay?" Susan Tang said with a smile.

Her smile made Shin Jiao feels a bit relieve. But deep in his heart, he already swears to do his best to reach her at all cost.

Suddenly, everything once again turned dark and Shin Jiao found himself lying in a grassy area in front of the cliff wall.

As he opens his eyes, his face turned from confusion into seriousness as he already knew where he is right now.

"Kranos Galaxy… Just wait for me there… my love.." He muttered in a low voice.
