The Geared Immortal

Chapter 677

(Unedited)

…

The cave was dark and gloomy with a different vibe inside of it. No light seems to be able to penetrate everything inside. As Shin Jiao proved the cave, he suddenly felt his mind feeling slight pain. For some mysterious reason, he almost blackout as he uses his psychokinesis to probe the dark cave on the side of the cavern wall.

"This one seems different." He muttered.

He didn't know why the cave opens on its own, but he could tell that it has a purpose.

As soon as he recovers from that slight dizzy feeling in his head, his eyes once again directed towards the cave. When he gazes inside of the void, he actually could not feel any danger. In fact, he could sense that the void seems to be calling him.

Shin Jiao was a bit hesitant, but soon his curiosity came over him and his feet dragged him towards the entrance of that dark cave.

Suddenly when he was standing in the small cave's mouth, a slight force seems to have enveloped Shin Jiao's body and dragged him inside that dark cave.

And when his body was fully engulfed in that darkness, the stone opening covering the cave suddenly closes and everything went back to normal. It was as if nothing has happened and everything turned back to tranquility.

…

The immortal land is actually a small piece of planetary system chosen by the deities to train and improve the strength of the human race. And every human from different worlds once they are able to transcend the boundary between godhood and mortality would be sent to a planet called 'Revenui Alpha' or the first immortal planet.

For eons, these planets have existed training and developing future humankind powerhouses.

Those who have already reached the deity stage would spend a short period of time on the planet and after that would be shipped to other planets to protect. While those who have entered the planet through being chosen would have to spend time on the planet until they are able to reach Saint or Deity which is around 90 or 100 levels of power.

But from what Shin Jiao has learned the human clan is the weakest amongst the immortals, this is because of the great division among them.

In the Revenui Alpha planet which the human clan trains, there are around seven major clans and thousands of minor clans.

The major clans are the Vin clan, Wine clan, Long clan, Kiwazo clan, and the Osmond clan. These first 5 clans belong to powerful aristocratic clans that rule most major places on the huge planet. Then the other 2 clans, the Demi-human clan, and the Peasant clan are founded by some powerful deities to assist the half-humans and also those immortals who didn't want to join the big clans.

And of course, there are still minor clans that are located everywhere on the planet.

Right now, in front of Shin Jiao, he is actually looking at a huge array of stars. It was like the one he saw before in the Samsara Chamber of Gaeus Ro. But he is not familiar with that star system and galaxy.

And in front of him, he is also looking at a group of star systems that is also not familiar with him. But in that star system, he could pinpoint which planet he is right now. And the other planets ruled by the human deities.

As Shin Jiao memorizes everything he was really stunned to know the truth about this world. But for now, he could not go out of the planet as he needed to follow the laws within it.

After some time, he decided to take this small orb which was the source of all the information. But he could not remove it from its place.

"I wish I could take this star map… But alas, I could just memorize it then…" Shin Jiao thought but suddenly froze.

He hit his head as if remembering something and immediately took the small lighting device and turned it on. The light seems to illuminate a portion of the darkness but it was only the portion where Shin Jiao standing.

But Shin Jiao didn't mind that, he just takes out the black ores and the other ores he has gathered so far. Then he began crafting which at the same time observing the small table on which the orb where the star map is sitting.

…

Meanwhile, outside 3 days have already passed and those who died under that cave that was hunting Shin Jiao were all resurrected in their clan revival spot which looks like a small chamber.

Greeting the newly revive group is a number of young people wearing peasant robes and carrying towels with them. Every time an individual would be resurrected a young woman or a young man would hand them a towel and would wait on those people.

Ian Gi grumpily took the towel from a young woman and then after wiping the towel on his face, he relaxed a little. But his muscles are still shivering due to the tension he had felt that day when he died. It was the worse he has felt so far as his body was used as a shield and he felt humiliated.

He then turns around and as he passes at the gate a strong wind blew past his body and his whole being was cleaned and dried of the remaining liquid from the resurrection process.

"You and your team were wiped out by a single peasant? Haha… Hahaha… Is this the level of strength that our clan has fallen down into?" Jinga Vin said in a calm voice.

But Ian Gi could feel that threatening vibe from the man's words.

"My lord we… we have located the place where he is hiding. I am sure that he is unable to leave that place because it looks like a trap. From… from what I see inside that cave, it looks like an ancient immortal's cave."

When Jinga Vin heard this, his face suddenly change. Immortal caves are very rare and contain many unknown treasures. In fact, the reason why the Vin clan was established is that the clans have accidentally found an immortal cave and shared the loot amongst themselves.

And from then on, the clans kept that secret and dominated the immortal land.

"Where is this place? Take me there." Jinga Vin immediately stood up and didn't want to waste any time.

In his mind, he feels a bit excited as he knew that if it is really an immortal's cave, then there is a chance that he could gain something from it. Although he belongs to the Vin clan, he was assigned to this wasteland. He wanted more, but he could not get it due to his low status in the clan.

But with an immortal's cave in his hand, he could grow and develop on his own. Heck, he could even create a new clan using those peasants in the Pheasant village. Just like the two other big clans besides the aristocratic clans.

While his thinking and planning began in his mind as he fantasizes about becoming a clan leader, he assembled a group of silver and golden armored protectors to come with him.

Meanwhile, in the other clans in town, the clan lords look at the actions of Jinga Vin and were curious about it. But they didn't want to bother much with his actions as the clans have a tacit understanding of these things.

In one of the tall buildings in town, a beautiful young woman wearing a white gown looks at the assembled troops.

"What do you think that man is doing?" Aiya Wine asked a gold armored woman beside her.

"I heard that they found some secret treasure in the forest." The woman replied with a straight face.

"A secret treasure? That is interesting… Hmm…"

"My lord, we have no business in the Vin clan's affairs… We…"

"I know… I'm just curious. But… What if… what if they found a very important treasure? What would you do?"

The young woman in gold armor looks at Aiya Wine in confusion.

"Hihi… You lack imagination. Did you already forget that young peasant? I heard he still did not die. It has already been more than one month. Do you think that he is the treasure?"

Hearing from her clan lord's words the woman in gold armor showed an interest in her eyes.

"My lord, please permit me to lead a group to follow them."

"Alright, bring with you the Hunters… they would prove useful. If you see that peasant, do not threaten him. You're a beautiful woman you could use your charms. Hihi… If you can invite him to the clan, then I will reward you generously…"

The young woman in gold armor bowed her head and immediately left. Then Aiya Wine looks at the window outside and a faint smile appears on her beautiful face.

"A peasant, an alchemist, a craftsman, and a strong warrior… Interesting, very interesting… indeed."

…

While this is happening, Shin Jiao has already finished crafting a recording device and immediately downloaded the information from the orb using an array formation which he copied from the stand.

He looks at the progress bar and saw that it is loading slowly.

"I guess the data is too big." He muttered.

But he is not worried, he is confident of the data capacity of the device he crafted. While waiting, Shin Jiao did not waste any time and carefully crafted a futuristic-looking revolver. Since the power of the universe energy is different from Qi or mana, he designed the revolver to handle such power.

Using the black ore as the gun, and an array compression pattern, Shin Jiao was able to make a six-shot and 5-second delay charging time weapon. Although he didn't need to create ammunition as the array takes care of compressing the universal energy, time is still needed to recover each cartridge to full.

As he looks at the black handgun that looks like those from science fiction, Shin Jiao contended in his heart. He was happy.

He is already used to using external weapons as part of his power. So having a powerful handgun is something he is already used to.

While admiring the handgun, Shin Jiao suddenly feels that the whole cave seems to be experiencing a slight tremor.

He was immediately alerted and looks at the progress bar on the downloading screen of the device. He saw that it was already at 95%.

"What is happening outside?" Shin Jiao muttered.

Then as if answering his question, another slight tremor happened, and then a loud explosion rocks the whole place.

Then before he knew it, the door covering the dark cave suddenly broke apart.
