The Geared Immortal

1339 Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 89

Chapter 1339

…

Creating one's domain is not a simple process. According to what he is reading right now, the theory of dimension and space is a bit more complicated than what he has learned from his unique vision.

The theory of dimension and space talks about the importance of understanding and gaining knowledge about some kind of invisible structures and some words he did not understand yet.

But through cross-referencing, he could slowly gain insight into the things he could not understand at first.

As Xin Ja began to deepen his understanding of the theory in space he also observe that his knowledge when it comes to rune arrays also deepen.

"I guess, with my rate of learning, I would be able to grasp at least 10% of the knowledge in this subject…" he muttered.

Xin Ja has spent more days in the forest inside a large tree while he secluded himself from the rest of the world.

He could not help but be engrossed in learning about space once again and the things that he could gain are something that excites him a bit.

A week later…

Inside the dark and gloomy forest where strong and ferocious wild beasts are everywhere, a strange phenomenon is happening.

A shadowy figure would flash everywhere in the forest which would startle the birds and other creatures as it appears and disappear in almost an instant.

Suddenly that figure stopped and leaned on a tree.

Xin Ja slowly removed the expended Ki stone from the slot on a bracer in his left forearm.

"I guess, it can only go this far…" he muttered as he takes out another Ki stone from his ring and insert it in the slot.

"Hmm… I can teleport ten times with a maximum range of 10 kilometers. But for shorter range, I can do it more…" he muttered as he began to record the things he has learned in his notes.

Xin Ja was too focused on computing that he did not notice a long and green slender thing slowly creeping towards his back.

That thing is a giant snake of about 20 meters in length and judging from its size, it would easily be able to devour Xin Ja in one bite.

As it prepares to strike, it seems to be smiling at the naivety of its prey.

This person dares to shift his attention elsewhere in its territory, how audacious could this person be?

Suddenly it stood high up in the air and then with its mouth wide open its head darted like a speeding bullet to bite its prey.

Snap!!!

The giant snake wiggled its large maw as the tree branch was even snapped into two.

It did not swallow but instead spew out the tree branch as it stares at the place where that person is in annoyance.

When it did not see anyone in that place, it turns its head in the area and sniffs the air trying to find its prey.

But to its dismay, it did not find anyone in the area.

It could only shake its large head and slid away.

By this time, Xin Ja is already inside the tree he has been staying in for a while now.

"This teleportation thing is truly neat…" he muttered as he carefully removes the vest he is wearing and the bracer in his left arm.

After a while, he continues with his learning and soon drifted into his own world.

…

Meanwhile, Ao Meixi and her group met with each other in Rock Ledge city. But An Xensu and her group are not with them.

After sending the information she got, the elders and her father, the patriarch of the family, commanded her to return to Aewa City.

The group then rented a manor to temporarily stay in the city and for Master Yo to also begin practicing. He needed to also prepare for the Alchemy Association exam. He did not want to be left to the dust in this contest as it also involves his pride as an alchemist.

After being with Xin Ja for a while, he has learned many things. After seeing him refining without thinking of anything and only aiming for perfection, he already knew that what he lacks is an attitude towards alchemy.

"Niece, we have already secured two spots in the alchemy contest… Do you think Master Xin will come?" asked grand elder Ao Jixo asked with a worried expression on his old face.

"Don't worry uncle… According to Rong Guan, he escaped that place and even burned everything in that place… So I think he would be returning to us soon…" Ao Meixi said with confidence.

"Hmm… I know that you have your hopes up for that guy, but I can't help but feel a bit worried…"

"Uncle, just trust him… When I first saw him and that glow in his eyes, I know that he is a person that would not go back on his words."

"Sigh… I hope you are right. Oh, by the way… I received an invitation to a gathering. It seems that the city lord Manor is inviting the alchemist and their clan and families to this gathering…"

When Ao Meixi heard this, she felt a bit indignant to join them. She did not know anyone in this city and did not want to cause any problem before they get a foothold in the city.

She remembers what happened in Yok Town when she attended a gathering. Those young masters immediately besieged her upon seeing her. She could not help but lament how her beauty could cause her too much trouble.

But how could she say no to the city lord Manor's invitation? And so, she and her group prepare to attend the banquet gathering of the alchemists.

…

At this time, An Xensu has also arrived in Aewa City and is currently inside a meeting room with some of the elders and high-ranking members of the family.

They are preparing the An Clan to raid the Shen's abode in which the map that An Xensu received from Ao Meixi.

Because she is needed in the family, she decided to leave the Ao first as she knew that they would not be in trouble in the meantime.

"Patriarch, the danger that place possess is something that we did not expect to discover." An elder said after the group heard the report.

"Umm… I know that everyone is worried but I hope that you guys will take note that this is Shen's abode… In the entire empire, there are only less than 50 abodes have been discovered. And we all know each abode discovered has given such a tremendous benefit…"

"We all know that… But this one, we should be very careful… I suggest that we should include the rest of the clans in the Aewa City, that way we will not be losing too much." An elder suggested.

Upon hearing this everyone was silent.

"No, I think we should try it first…" a young woman stood up and said.

An Xensu has listened to the opinions of the elders in the room, but she did not agree with most of them.

She feels that involving the other clans would cause them more trouble than benefit. Although it would also be a way for them to lessen their losses, it does not equate to the benefit.

"If we can get our hands in the legacy of the Shen owning that abode, then our clan would become more powerful… But if other clans get a hold of such a legacy, then wouldn't it be our loss…" she said trying to convince the rest.

After hearing her suggestion, everyone's resolve was strengthened, and decided to let the clan get the benefit instead of the others.

Soon, the An Clan mobilized their forces in secret to attack the protectors of the abode.

…

At this time, Xin Ja emerges once again from inside the tree as he finished crafting his gears so that he should be able to use Ki at least.

He did not have to wear that conspicuous glove in his refining.

Although the bracers look a bit unique with the Ki stone slot in them, it is still a big difference when using the leather glove.

"It's time for me to go to Rock Ledge city and meet up with the young miss…" he muttered as he looks at his surroundings.

Using the Ki compass he created, he could now roughly determine where the direction he should be heading.

As he turns around, he suddenly noticed a strong killing intent from his back.

He had felt such intent from before and knew that the snake which he had seen 2 days ago seemed to have followed him until here.

"What a stubborn fellow…" he grumbled as he takes out his short sword.

As the large snake suddenly lounges from behind him, he did not hesitate to quickly brandish his sword and then strike the head of the snake.

Xin Ja's figure was sent flying as he did not expect that the beast would be this strong.

"Hmm… A Ki-Master realm beast…" he muttered.

Suddenly, the figure of Xin Ja vanished on the spot which startled the snake.
