The Geared Immortal

A New Quest Part 5

/*unedited*/

Shin Jiao didn't feel the flow of time as he peered inside the abyss. Everything around him is darkness and the void.

This is the second time that Shin Jiao has felt this way and the first is still clear in his mind. That was the time when he was teleported to this place through that dimensional gate that Gubu accidentally made.

Suddenly from within the void, a voice reverberates through his ears.

"Keke… foolish being… you took me thinking that I am the golden dragon. But the truth is that I am the black dragon! Haha… I don't understand why that young man would choose to use that old bastard more than me?... I mean, of course, I usually destroy things and a bit violent… but that is my nature. Well, my powers are more destructive than that old bastard. So why that child would not choose to use me…" the voice said as if it is talking to itself.

When Shin Jiao heard the voice, he was shocked.

Golden Dragon?

Black dragon?

Shin Jiao didn't understand what the voice is talking about. However, he can deduce that the voice is the black dragon but who was the young man it is talking about. But before Shin Jiao could say something the voice continued its monologue.

"Lucky for me, that old bastard used half of its power a few months ago, hence it went to sleep. Haha… When I feel your dark presence, I knew that you would be the right being for me! I am amazed that you can forcefully separate my soul fragment and take it out of the god's blessing restriction. And I knew that only those Shadow Void creatures can do that… A Shadow Void is a low-level creature, but you're good enough, Keke…"

The voice said as if it sounded happy.

"Umm… excuse me senior." Shin Jiao interrupted.

"Eh! How? Who… who are you? Where is that Shadow Void fellow?"

"My name is Shin Jiao… and I assume that you are the senior Black Dragon, right?"

"Haha… senior Black Dragon, I like that… Keke… Human, I am the all-powerful Balck Dragon. so tell me, how come you have my soul fragment and not that Shadow Void fellow who extracted me from the young prince?"

Upon hearing this, Shin Jiao is now sure that his idea was correct. This is one of the black dragons that he saw inside of the 2nd prince of Xi, the dragon of the legends who ruled over the side of the Beatia land.

According to the books that he has read from the academy, many tried to search for the soul fragment of the dragons because they think it can give them immortal powers. Although it is just a fragment of their souls, once they are freed and absorbed enough energy, they would regain their own powers back and once again either rule in darkness or light.

But since, Shin Jiao got the soul fragment of the black dragon, and then if this thing regains its power it would be dangerous. So he immediately decided to restrain this thing and never let it recover. But of course, he too wants to search for a way to take it out of his body.

While Shin Jiao is thinking like this, the black dragon suddenly opens a small slit in the void and Shin Jiao was taken to an empty small room.

"I am a very destructive creature… that I know. But upon living and talking to that old fool for who knows how long. I came to realized that I also represent a balance in this world. If I am controlled then I can bring this balance to come to pass and maybe ascend back to my former god state. Human, this old one is already humbling himself to you… I will lend you my power, as long as you bring me when you ascend to the immortal plane."

Upon hearing this, Shin Jiao was shocked.

Immortal plane? Ascension?

He is not sure what those words mean, but this only strengthens his theory that in this world, there truly are immortals and gods. But how to ascend he does not know, this is because he already lost his dantian.

"Okay, if ever I can ascend then I Shin Jiao promise to take you." Shin Jiao said.

He knew that the creature is very powerful to be able to rule one part of this continent even though it was wounded for many years.

If he can get even a portion of this power, then he is sure to be able to preserve his life.

After Shin Jiao's words, a light suddenly flashed out of nowhere and a figure of a tall and handsome man appears out of thin air.

The man is at least 2 meters tall, with a clear and handsome face. What made him different from humans are the two long dragon horns on his forehead.

The man suddenly extended his right hand and touched Shin Jiao's forehead.

"With this, the contract between us is formed. I am the black dragon, a former god in the immortal plane. Although I was wounded in battle and lost my godhood… because of that old fool. I am still considered a fallen god. With my power at your disposal, you can trample anyone on the battlefield. Hahaha…"

…

Shin Jiao's body suddenly stopped squirming as he lied in a soft and spacious bed.

Beside him sat Qian Li who had anxiety written all over her face.

Ugghh…

"Where… where am I?" Shin Jiao slowly opens his eyes as he slowly adjusted his vision.

"Ma… master! Master, are you awake?" suddenly he heard the familiar voice of a beautiful woman.

Qian Li immediately rush to his side.

"Umm… I'm okay now." Shin Jiao said forcing a smile on his face.

Overcome with emotion, Qian Li's eyes immediately tears up as she flung herself in Shin Jiao's sturdy chest. She poured her heart out in crying upon seeing that her master is already fine.

Shin Jiao hugs her carefully as he tried to appease her.

However, the sweet scent of Qian Li's body assaulted Shin Jiao's nose as his heart suddenly beats rapidly. Right now, the two are hugging each other in an awkward position. Qian Li settles herself on Shin Jiao's lap as she cuddled like a small kitten in his arms. Unconsciously, Shin Jiao's little brother had a reaction.

He realized that it has been a long time since he had a relationship with a woman. And as a vigorous young man, he has been holding it for a long time. Now in front of him is a very beautiful woman who looks like an elf from the stories. How can Shin Jiao restrain himself?

His hands suddenly move unconditionally towards those two exposed white legs of Qian Li.

Although his hand trembled as it came closer, Shin Jiao is trying to fight this urge in his mind.

Snore…

Suddenly he heard Qian Li's light breathing and realized that she has fallen asleep in his embrace.

"What a brazen woman, do you really trust me that much to not do anything to you?" Shin Jiao muttered as he carefully laid her beside him.

He then looks at her carefully and his heart is full of confusion.

Out of the entire women she has encountered in this world. Qian Li is the one whom he can say to be very clingy. Ever since he rescued her from that labyrinth and taught her how to increase her strength, she has always been on his side.

And now, she is the first to search for him and found him using her instinct.

His heart is now a field with confusion and remorse because right now he can't deny that he had fallen for this beautiful silver white-haired girl. However, his heart is pained because he needed to choose between Qian Li and Qin Lou. Thinking that the Shin Jiao of this world is currently around his woman, Shin Jiao's heart suddenly felt gloom.

He is not sure if Qin Lou's heart is still waiting for him. But still, he needs to go back.

Shin Jiao stood up from the bed and turned to look at Qian Li's beautiful face and heaves a heavy sigh.

Suddenly, from within his mind, a voice reverberated.

"So this is your body… not bad seems strong…" the voice suddenly stopped in the middle.

Shin Jiao was confused as to why the black dragon suddenly stopped talking.

"What kind of hideous monstrosity is this? You don't have a dantian! How can you cultivate without a dantian? If you don't have a dantian, then how can you ascend? You tricked me! You tricked me!" shouted the black dragon in Shin Jiao's mind.

Shin Jiao showed a faint smile in his face. He knew that the black dragon would say this and he could not blame him.

Having an artificial dantian is something new in the cultivation land. And only Shin Jiao has it, so who would have thought that a person with a broken dantian would be able to cultivate up to his level.

The black dragon continuously lamented inside Shin Jiao's mind and he just let him be.

Walking out of the room, Shin Jiao found himself inside the huge palace of Wu. He is not familiar with this place so he just walked trying his luck to find a person to ask. He wanted to use his spiritual sense, but that would be impolite. He knows that there is an old monster in this palace and he didn't get its attention.

While walking he suddenly heard a familiar voice crying inside a room.

"It has been four days and my 2nd older brother is still not awake. Doctor please… please do your best to wake him up."

"Princess, we… we can't do anything. This is because a part of his soul was taken from him forcefully… If only we can get… that flower."

"What flower doctor? Tell me, I will get it for you."

"Sister… please calm down."

"No! It was… this is all your fault. It was you who stabbed him."

"Princess, you…"

The young crown prince stopped the doctor from interfering. He knows his mistake and he owes this to his 2nd brother.

"Hey, maybe I can help."
