The Geared Immortal

Chapter 504

/*unedited*/

Once upon a time in a world far, far away there lived a powerful being named, Evilina Cygonis. She was the most powerful person in her world where women are far superior to men. And her power was obtained through constant fighting, deceit, and machinations. Throughout her life, she would always win.

And so as time went by she reached the peak of her power. However, she found out that going to the next level is not that simple. She needs to change things; she has to reverse the karma in her being. She discovered the truth of the universe, about how karma can affect her ascension to the other plane. And how it would be the deciding factor to whether you will have a physical form or the demonic form of a soul demon.

Hence, as she discovers this, she has formulated a plan in her mind. Gathering good karma is very hard as you become more powerful. Killing and scheming are almost impossible for her to elude as this is her nature. Hence she decided to form a group that would help people in the shadows, while she herself would seclude in a cave and cultivate.

And this is how she gathered good karma and was able to ascend. However, when she arrived in the immortal plane, someone grabs her and suddenly throws her to a wagging war where powerful immortals fight.

As a newly ascended immortal, how could she overcome this tribulation? Hence she just lasted for 2 hours and was killed by a powerful blast that disintegrated her physical body.

But as an immortal, she can actually reform her body but of course, it would take years. Unlike a weak mortal body which would only take days, an immortal body is different. But of course, she can form a mortal one, but how could that body survive in the immortal planes where even the atmosphere is harsh and unforgiving.

Hence she decided to go back to the mortal plane universe and gather enough soul energy.

But who would have thought that a mere mortal can discover her existence?

However, she was wise enough to trap that person and now, if she is right, she can immediately ascend with that person's powers.

His body is unique and not any weaker than a normal immortal. And so, she decided to scheme against the guy and get his body after extracting his soul energy.

And so, her scheme succeeds and using her old vessel to come to this plane, the spirit holding stone, her plan succeeded. The spirit holding stone is able to hold the spiritual strength and power of a person. With it, she can control the person who touches the stone with their spiritual sense at will. But of course, she can choose whom she would control.

"Hehe… I have you now in my hands; I will gain enough strength judging from your physique and internal energy I can ascend to the immortal plane in no time. Hehe… Hahaha…" she said while laughing out loud.

Then she shifted her gaze towards the young girl in the arms of Sing Xie and smiled.

"I guess I have to thank that foolish girl's parents for this opportunity to get high-quality soul energy…" she muttered.

…

Meanwhile, the room is now filled with people who came to visit the two couples. This is because these people have heard that Song Xie has returned to the mansion and they wanted to curry favor to the eldest and future head of the powerful Xie family.

Ever since the couple fell sick, the power of the Xie family became stagnant, but it didn't diminish due to the talent of the daughter.

"What is happening here?" a stately voice of a man suddenly came forward and a middle-aged man walked inside the room.

Upon seeing the figure everyone immediately made way.

"Oh… if it isn't the promising talent Miss Song Xie… and… Oh, you… you're the gorgeous Miss Mai, right? Haha… This… this is truly a blessed day!" the middle-aged man exclaimed upon seeing the gorgeous of Yao Mai.

Well, he can't be blamed as Yao Mai's beauty is truly unworldly, and every man in this room has been captured by her charm. However, since she is currently exuding cold aura unconsciously, everyone didn't dare make a move.

"Minister Yiao, welcome to our Xie family humble home…" Song Xie said with a curtsy.

The middle-aged man just nods his head but didn't bother with Song Xie, his focus is on the beautiful Yao Mai.

"Haha… Miss Mai, I wanted to invite you to my mansion to enjoy a good dinner this evening, what do you think?" Minister Yiao asked as he tried to show a cordial smile on his face.

"Minister Yiao is truly benevolent and kind, I wanted to agree but as you can see, we are here to help with the problem of the Xie's head and his wife." Yao Mai said.

"Hehe… No matter what kind of doctor you find no one can help those two. After so many years, the curse will now claim their lives, and I Jingo Yiao will have everything… I will have their power in my hands… Hehe… Haha…" Minister Yiao thought but showed a sad expression on his face.

"You are right, I was too presumptuous just now. I will invite Miss Mai another day then..."

"Minister, I reckon that you are here to visit my mother and father. But for now, we have to wait. Master Ji, is currently helping them… It won't be long now." Song Xie said with a hopeful expression on her face.

Just now, they heard Shin Jiao's words and they felt that something is wrong, but they have full trust in Shin Jiao's ability and power.

Suddenly, everyone on the other side of the room's division felt some strange power emanating from deep inside the room. It made them feel like kowtowing to their knees right at this moment. And this gave them all a huge shock.

"This is… is… is someone breaking through inside? How could this be?" muttered Minister Yiao.

Even Yao Mai also felt a strong pressure.

Then suddenly…

Boom!

A strong gust of wind combined with the force of pressure emanated through the room which blows the divider and even the roof of the room was blown. Luckily, Yao Mai was fast enough to extend her domain and protected the people near her.

When Minister Yiao felt the domain, his heart immediately shivered in fear.

"Domain… How? How can a woman in the infant soul realm control her own domain? This… this is impossible… I need to… no… I can't tell the king about this. Hehe… If I can get this woman under me, and serve me, then I will become powerful… Hehe…" Minister Yiao thought.

Minister Yiao is a man filled with schemes and machinations as he served the king of Er. This is because the government is a very chaotic place where schemes are all over the place. But of course, they would only scheme for their own gain and not offend those in power.

Hence Minister Yiao's thinking has already been in this direction ever since and he has survived through this hell hole doing so. That is also one of the reasons why the Xie couple fell to his scheme. As the couple held an invisible power and respect from others, he first became their friend, and then when the relationship became closer, he gave a gift to the brother of the Xie patriarch, the cursed stone.

As of now, he has already almost grasped the power that the Xie family controls, and the family is just a paper tiger, not having the strength and only honor is present.

As he was planning his next move, Minister Yiao noticed something strange as the thick dust slowly died down. And what he saw almost made his eyes went out of their sockets. This is because he immediately felt the strong aura inside the room which made his heart feel a shiver in fear.

The aura inside the room is too strong that is has already affected those people outside of Yao Mai's domain and has already collapsed to the ground. This is because the aura is rampaging and uncontrollable that keeps on sending out fluctuations that affect the entire room and even spread out to the entire estate of the Xie family.

Those servants who are weak and feeble immediately lost consciousness.

"It's a breakthrough to the higher realm… How could this be? What happened? What happened to Master Ji?" Yao Mai also muttered as she can feel a heavy pressure trying to collide with her domain.

However, the cold aura inside her dantian was very strong that it was able to hold on through this bombardment of aura.

"Master… My parents… are my parents' fine? I will not be able to forgive myself if something happened to them."

"Don't worry, dear. I'm sure they will be fine… just trust in Master Ji."

"Che… I think the reason why this is happening, is because of that so-called Master Ji. Who is that guy anyway? Why would you put your trust in some stranger? You both are too young; you should not trust just any person. I will scrutinize that fellow and show you his despicable true self…" Minister Yiao suddenly said with a smirk.

When he saw that Yao Mai trusted that guy they are calling Master Ji, his heart was filled with anger. He could not accept that the woman he fancies would like another. He wanted Yao Mai to be added to his harem and serve him, not another man. Hence he has a plan to face this so-called Master Ji after this episode.

But then, something strange happened, which made everyone stunned.
