The Geared Immortal

Chapter 538

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao can now feel the strong oppressive aura in the air as he reached the top of the defensive array formation. He can also feel the quivering of the pill in his hand. It's like it is excited that it could not wait to fly up and welcome those strong lightning energy. With that reaction, Shin Jiao could not help but feel a bit worried.

Although he is confident of his physique and not worried about what would happen next. But what he worries about is the exposure of himself to the public. But still, how can he pass the opportunity to see for himself this wonderful pill that was accidentally created?

And so without a second thought, he stretches forth his hands upwards while opening his palm in the air. As he released his grip, the pill inside his palm immediately flew up and excitedly began to spin. As it spins faster and faster, Shin Jiao noticed the changing of its color.

It actually turned into a golden pill and inside it is filled with a vast amount of energy.

And then it happened.

Crash! Rumble! Rumble!

The people who are watching this scene below all closed their eyes as bright light erupted from the pill as the purple lightning hit it.

Kaboom!!!

The loud explosion rocks the whole area as the lightning strikes strongly against a single person in the air. All of the onlookers are watching with bated breath as they covered their eyes due to the blinding light that appears almost immediately after.

Nobody knew what happened as the few world nascent realm cultivators are already in the air raising their hands to block the incoming shock wave that would happen in the next second.

However, what baffled them is that is has been a few seconds but nothing happened yet. It was as the lightning didn't even strike. It's just that the light is so bright that it is hard for them to see what is happening with their naked eyes.

And then another loud booming sound woke everyone up. They didn't know when it happened but another lightning strike actually appears and then another. The series of lightning strikes made everyone dumbfounded. Even those powerful beings didn't even have time to react as they just look at the astounding scene that is happening in front of them.

Meanwhile, high up in the air, Shin Jiao is currently holding his hand high up to support the floating pill which is a few feet away from him. But the distance didn't abate the power of the lightning, hence bombarding his body with endless radiation and chaotic Qi and Mana.

"No… I should not waste this energy… I… arrgghh… I… should… hold… on… I… I must persevere…" Shin Jiao muttered with gritted teeth as he forces himself to try and fight off the almost endless pain all over his body.

But what happened next truly surprised him. He didn't know what happened next, but his body subconsciously began absorbing a large amount of chaotic Qi and Mana in the air. This impure Qi and Mana are truly hurting his meridians and he can also see tearing and erupting of his veins. But once the energy enters his dantian they suddenly became obedient and enters the spheres in his body in their purified state.

This made him wounded veins and meridians healed almost instantaneously. But the torture didn't come from this. It actually came from the healing and tearing of the wounds inside his body. The feeling of pain and torture is almost impossible to resist but he needed to hold on.

The pill floating from his hand is like a trouble magnet. It seems like a hungry ghost absorbing the energy from the lightning in the sky hence this accelerated the timing of the lightning strikes.

"What is that thing floating in the air about him… is that the…"

"Oh my gosh… is that the pill?"

"How can this be? How can such a thing exist?"

"This is impossible. That thing… if I can have that thing then…"

"We should get a chance to get such a miraculous pill."

The minds of the sect leaders and grand elders began to think of what to do and how they can acquire such a miraculous pill. This is something out of this world.

And so they all watch in amazement as the sky slowly turns brighter and the cloud started to diminished.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is already sitting in the air while absorbing the energy from the pill without stopping. He knew how this rare opportunity would never appear again and so he didn't mind all the eyes looking at him with curious gazes and suspicious looks.

His mind is already blank and all he wanted to do right now is to continuously tamper his physique inside and out.

Even all the essences inside his dantian are also working as they all go all out just to absorb the chaotic Qi in Mana scattered around the body of Shin Jiao. It could be said that there is no wasted energy that escaped him.

This is also the reason why the people around them could not feel anything. They could not even feel the fluctuation of Qi in the air and the dispersing force. And that is because Shin Jiao is absorbing them all.

However, out of everyone's expectation, an elder from the Divine Sect actually flew in the air and in a blink of an eye appear next to Shin Jiao. The elder didn't even think twice and without scruple extended his hand to grab the pill floating in the air.

"Shameless, truly shameless!" suddenly a wizen voice echoed and the figure of Do Bo Jing flashes in front of that old man.

This made everyone from the Blood Moon Sect also angered. They didn't expect that an elder from the Divine Cloud sect would so such a thing. In front of everyone in this place that person would act as if not putting them in his eyes.

Do Bo Jing turns his gaze to the old man who stood behind that elder. Do Bo Jing didn't even do anything and just wave his hand and that elder was thrown back to the ground with a loud bang.

"You are inside the Blood Moon Sect, how dare you be impudent." Shouted Do Bo Jing.

"Hehe… Sect leader Jing, you can't blame us for this… That pill right there is a power that even the empire would fight for. You should just blame yourselves for showing such a pill." A wizen voice said.

The old man wearing a light blue long robe walked out among the crowd of onlookers and smile at the sect master of the Blood Moon Sect.

The old man has a look of arrogance in his face as he steps forward. Then his world nascent realm aura erupted from his body silencing everyone in the surroundings. They didn't know what is happening but upon feeling the domineering aura and the arrogant old man everyone immediately understood. It was the grand elder of the Divine Cloud Sect, the famous cultivator who entered the war 13 years ago, Gijian Fu.

Gijian Fu was known as the Devil butcher in that war for facing countless demons on his own. And at that time he is just a late-stage nascent realm cultivator. However, after the war, nobody knew why but his cultivation suddenly shot up and he reached the world nascent realm 2nd level in just 13 years.

This accomplishment made him famous and many knew him from then on. However, the drawback seems a bit large as with the increase of his cultivation his face actually didn't become younger but instead older.

Though male cultivators didn't mind this, it is evidence that there is something wrong with him.

When Gijian Fu saw the pill, he immediately knew of its efficacy and immediately wanted to obtain it by any means necessary. He knew that with that pill, the drawback of his cultivation would be lessened or even stopped. Hence gaining back his age and appearance just like in his 30s.

Hence he didn't mind offending everyone in this place. He didn't even mind the glaring eyes of the people around them.

"Why don't we do this. Those would is able to fight for the pill should step forward. If you won, then you can have the pill…" Gijian Fu said with a smile.

Everyone in the Blood Moon Sect frown at the shameless words of the old man. The pill belongs to the Blood Moon Sect how dare someone from the other sects to claim what belongs to them. If the sect leader says it, everyone in the sect would stand up and fight against those other shameless geezers with their lives.

 As the people began to clamor, five powerful beings from the audiences suddenly step forward. Their imposing looks show that they are not simple and have the cultivation level of the world nascent realm. Who would have known that the sects in the mountains have this many powerful cultivators in this place?

This kind of power would stump even the empire if they wanted to. But of course, the sects in this place are not interested in the mundane activities in a normal empire.

As they look at these powerful beings, a dread look appears on the faces of the Blood Moon Sect and the vice sect leader of the Lotus sect. Dhaling Khan also wanted the pill, but he would not use force to attain it.

As someone who is known for having an upright behavior he always does his business fairly.

Hence he is feeling a bit angered at this provocation.

"If this is going to be a fight, then the Lotus sect would support the Blood Moon sect. I will not stand by and let others trample the law of the alliance.." Dhaling Khang said with a serious expression.
