The Geared Immortal

Chapter 638

(Unedited)

…

In a dark gloomy peak, a tall figure could be seen climbing up a steep mountain. The figure is wearing a mask to protect himself from the poisonous fog that envelops the whole mountain. The gray mist that surrounds everything is actually a poisonous gas coming out of the small holes at the side of the mountain.

After talking to the goddess, Shin Jiao discovered a lot of things about the cosmos. Plus he also gained a lot on this trip.

The goddess has given him the advice to leave the planet and go out to the cosmos. However, Shin Jiao has a lot of attachments to this place and on earth. Hence he is not sure if ever he could go out or just stay in this place and grow old, and then die with his loved ones.

After their discussion, the goddess told Shin Jiao that she wanted to rest. And so, Shin Jiao left.

Once outside, Shin Jiao saw the attendant. He was suddenly dragged by her, when the two were a bit far from the courtyard, the attendant named Yunya, suddenly told Shin Jiao the truth about this place.

This whole planet called Gaeus Ro is actually the remains of a fallen Deity. The deity died in combat against another powerhouse. Due to heartache, his wife didn't let go of him. And after some time, from the corpse of the fallen god a world was formed. And that world is named after the corpse, Gaeus Ro.

Goddess Nuah, his wife decided to stay and accompany her own husband until the end of time. The love between the two is truly eternal that many deities are jealous of their relation.

Yunya is actually the daughter of Nuah and Gaeus Ro, but her mother seems to have forgotten about her due to her sadness. Hence she decided to act as her mother's servant just to be with her.

"Do you want to go out of this place with me?" Shin Jiao asked.

But Yunya just gave him a smile. This only means that she is unwilling to leave her mother behind. Plus she also dislikes the cosmos with its chaos and fighting. She has lived for eons on this planet and loves to play everywhere.

And so, with that, Shin Jiao left the valley with a great harvest of both knowledge and riches.

…

It has been a few days ever since Shin Jiao began to scale the mountain. Yunya told him about the danger of traversing the mountain and that it would be his luck if he is able to leave this place.

As the sun once again left the skies and the day ended, Shin Jiao created a small cave on the side of the cliff. He rested for a while as it is the first time that he felt his body in fatigue. That's right he was fatigued and very tired. Plus he is also feeling hungry just like a normal human being.

He already knew that this would happen from the first time he took a step to climb the mountain. And so he began cooking some of the beast meat he has inside his ring.

"Hmm… the gravity in this place is getting stronger." Shin Jiao muttered as he can feel that he is already at 5 times the normal gravity.

After eating and resting for a while, Shin Jiao decided to study the martial techniques that the goddess has given him. As he meditates and works out the technique in his mind, a shadow of a person appear from within his consciousness and began to execute the technique.

First move, second move, third move…

Thirty-fifth move… fiftieth move…

Shin Jiao suddenly became engrossed in the technique that his mind seems to be in a trance. It has taken him three days before he was able to completely familiarize his mind with the technique. He woke up in extreme hunger and began to gobble a huge amount of food.

"Those are really profound techniques…"

"Lotus palm, Leaf blade, and Star plucking strike…" Shin Jiao muttered the names of the techniques that he has learned for the three days of meditation.

In fact, there are actually more techniques that he could learn but he suddenly feels hungry and was interrupted.

And so, once again he continues traversing the tall mountain.

As he draws closer to the top, his speed in climbing began to slow and he needed a lot of rest as his body is having a hard time adjusting to the ever-increasing gravity. Shin Jiao could even feel his internal organs being damaged due to the gravity.

However, he could not stop. In fact, he could already see the peak of the mountain. All he has to do is to persevere and reach the top, if he did, then he could regain his freedom, he could see Susan again. In fact, after all this time of suffering, the thought of her is the one driving Shin Jiao to push himself.

"This… this is really… too much… arrgghh…" Shin Jiao muttered in pain as he tried to adjust his body as the crushing weight is really pulling him down.

Every part of his body hurts.

Shin Jiao wanted to persevere, however, as he rested on a small crevice as he could not ever use a blade to carve out a cave, his mind is slowly becoming hazy.

His eyes are slowly closing, though his will is strong. It seems that his body is ready to give up any moment now.

As his eyes are about to close, a familiar voice enters his ears…

"Shin! Wake up… she's waiting for you… Come and find us… Don't give up…"

Shin Jiao was jolted to awakening.

"Su… Susan…" Shin Jiao muttered as he forces himself to look around.

But nothing, the voice is there but Susan is nowhere to be found.

His eyes shifted to the thick mist all around him… he wanted to remove the mask. But he didn't, as his breathing is becoming heavier… suddenly, Shin Jiao realized something…

"Breathing? Hunger? No… Why would I need to eat? I… I have a huge amount of energy inside me…" Shin Jiao's mind suddenly cleared up.

Then suddenly, Shin Jiao executed a psychokinetic ability using several knives that suddenly appear from his ring.

"Flying Leaf-blades…" he muttered.

This is a combination of his psychokinesis and the technique he learned from the goddess.

The knives immediately revolve like a tornado surrounding Shin Jiao. Then he heard a loud shriek as he feels a large amount of warm liquid all over his body. When Shin Jiao opens his eyes, he found himself lying in a pool of foul blood and a huge long snake cut into pieces lying beside him.

Shin Jiao was immediately drenched in a cold sweat.

He suddenly remembers everything.

When he was about to go out of the cave, a long pink snake suddenly appears in front of him. However, what the snake did was just look at him, and then his reality became distorted.

Shin Jiao was a bit shocked, though he has these skills and abilities, yet it seems that he would become weak once those things are taken out. However, his physique is still tougher than a normal human, plus his mental strength seems to have grown a bit.

Suddenly before Shin Jiao could rejoice he once again feels the heavy gravity around him. However, at that time, he was still able to execute the leaf blade technique.

Suddenly an insight came unto him, 'Gravity Core'. He was a bit confused when he read in his mind. He had a hard time analyzing the gravity core technique's principle. However, now that he has executed a new skill he created, he seems to have grasped the essence of the technique called gravity core.

Shin Jiao didn't waste his time. He once again exerted much effort and ignores the pain in his body as he made those blades dig a hole while he sinks his body inside it.

Shin Jiao once again sat in a lotus position about 3 meters underground.

He began to deduce his insight into this new technique which he knew would surely help him. As he did so, time began to flow by as days became weeks and weeks became months.

He has no sense of time at this moment as Shin Jiao experience epiphany for the first time.

…

In a blink of an eye, 5 months have passed ever since Shin Jiao came to this land.

It was another early morning when the sun rose up from the horizon driving the shadow of darkness all over the land. The golden rays of the sun slowly illuminate the stiff mountainside making the mists became less dense.

Boom!!!

A loud explosion interrupted the tranquil morning air as a figure could be seen blasting out of the mountainside.

After months of deducing and cultivating, Shin Jiao has finally able to succeed in attaining the understanding of the technique called 'Gravity Core'.

Right now, he is able to resist the local gravity in the area, by creating a gravity core using his dantian.

Shin Jiao floated at the side of the mountain and suddenly discover that the place he is in is already near the peak.

"Pfft… Hahaha… I was too engrossed with cultivating and the pain that I didn't realize how close I am to the top. I guess I have to thank that pink snake for this, right?" Shin Jiao shifted his gaze to the already rotten snake.

Shin Jiao just harvested the medicinal herbs he found and some of the treasure that he didn't bother checking lying inside the snake's nest. Then he floated towards the top of the mountain with ease.

When Shin Jiao reached the peak, he suddenly saw a shimmering portal.

"I guess this is the exit then…" Shin Jiao muttered to himself as he shifted his gaze to the wide expanse of land below. Right now, he feels happy for what he has gained in this misadventure of his. And he is excited to exit this place and see Susan again.

Shin Jiao shifted his gaze and looks at the date in his top-right view.

"I've been in this place for almost six months? Damn, I need to get out of here fast…" Shin Jiao muttered as he moved towards the portal.

Before taking a step inside the portal he once again shifted his gaze towards the Valley of the Gods.

"Thank you for everything…" he muttered as his figure disappears into the void.
