Chapter 662 - The Day

Chapter 662

(Unedited)

…

The pain that he felt that day was too deep that it is making Shin Jiao look through the sky unable to think of anything anymore. He's been like this for a couple of days already and Qin Lou is too worried to do anything.

Although when he sees her, his expression would change, and that he would regain his composure. However, once he is alone he would go back to staring at the starry skies while caressing the crystal hanging on his neck.

Qin Lou already knew what had happened in the hospital that day and she was saddened by what had happened. The feeling of powerlessness, she already felt it before and she knew how hard it is right now for Shin Jiao to accept the fact that fate has taken Susan away from them.

But what could they do? Although Shin Jiao already showed her the first step, yet the enemy is far stronger than they could ever think of. That's why they felt really hopeless and crestfallen.

At times, the two would share a night together, but after that, she could feel that Shin Jiao's mind would suddenly fly and this situation really hurt her.

One afternoon, Qin Lou arrives inside the room where Shin Jiao has already been coop up for many days already. She immediately noticed a sudden change in the atmosphere inside the room.

She saw a figure standing in front of the mirror and upon seeing Shin Jiao she was immediately stunned. This is because Shin Jiao is not wearing anything.

She was a bit dumbstruck and immediately felt worried.

She suddenly wanted to rush towards him, worried that her husband suddenly turned crazy. She didn't want to lose him again. She has already waited for too long and has already gotten him back. In these past few days, she was already happy. Although his mind would drift towards Susan Tang, when he was with her, she could feel his sincerity. Hence she didn't want to lose that feeling from him.

She is worried and at the same time nervous about the changes that would happen.

But before her figure could walk closer, she heard Shin Jiao's voice in her head.

"Qin… Don't come closer… it's dangerous right now… My… my mental powers… it's… it's in chaos. Please activate the formation in this room; I don't want to hurt you or anybody else. Please wait for me, okay?"

Upon hearing his words in her mind, the expression of Qin Lou suddenly change. This is because she knew that Shin Jiao already has a domain, and she knew how dangerous a domain is. Hence she didn't hesitate and immediately activated the formation.

She is aware of the danger, though she is worried about him, she also could not be careless and let others suffer. Plus she trusted that Shin Jiao would be fine.

And so she left while a multiple layers formation array suddenly enveloped the whole room.

"Sigh… I was too muddled that I didn't notice the breakthrough that is happening in my mental power." Shin Jiao muttered as he heaves a deep sigh.

In fact, all these days he was too engrossed in his sadness that he could not concentrate anymore. But who would have known that his psychokinesis would absorb the sadness in his heart and slowly convert it to positive energy?

And luckily the conversion was really successful and Shin Jiao discover the plot of that devious goddess. She wanted to implant a heart demon in him so that he would not be able to ascend. Luckily, Yunya helped him a lot by giving him a tiny bit of hope.

Shin Jiao did not dally anymore and immediately began pushing his mental power breakthrough. And soon a large ripple suddenly broke through the array and spreads throughout the city. This ripple even spreads as far as the prosperous Yi City.

This ripple was felt by everyone and they knew that someone just broke through. Those in Shin City showed a happy expression on their faces. This is because the more powerful the city lord is, the safer each and every one of them living in the city would be.

After that ripple, Shin Jiao walked out of the room and Qin Lou immediately rushes in his arms.

"Are you okay? What happened? Do you feel better now?" Qin Lou immediately bombarded him with a lot of questions.

In which Shin Jiao just showed her a faint smile and carefully caressed her beautiful face. He then gave her a faint kiss on the forehead.

"I'm fine now… thank you. Thank you for being there for me, always…" he said as he gave her a warm hug.

The two stayed like that not minding their environment.

Suddenly they were interrupted by someone clearing his throat.

Ju-long Jiao still could not get used to this scene where his mother and father would show affection to each other in public.

However, he needs to stop them before the others could come.

And because of him, the two separated and he could see his mother pouting. This made Ju-long Jiao a bit speechless. Ever since she and his father reunited, he could often see the childishness of his mother. And this made him feel that the beautiful woman might not be his mother but a different person.

Soon a small celebration was held as they all celebrated the advancement of Shin Jiao's mental powers.

The next day…

An old man suddenly appears in the city wearing a monk's robe, a straw hat, and a walking staff. Those who saw him immediately feel a bit weird. Many with a kind heart gave the old man some offer to help. And this made the old monk happy.

"Hehe… This place is truly different… I wish that there are more places like this in this world… But alas… it would still take some time." The old man muttered as he walks in a certain direction.

"I didn't know why the goddess wanted to rush things up, that young man still has a few weeks to go…" he suddenly grumbled as he reached his destination.

But before he could do anything, a white figure appears in front of him.

"Old man… long time no see…" Shin Jiao said with a gentle smile on his face.

"Haha… You can even detect my presence now. I guess this is the reason why the goddess wanted to rush things up." the monk said with a grin.

"So… you are saying that you are here for me? Already? I mean… I still have…"

The old monk raised his hands and stopped Shin Jiao.

"Two days… I will just give you two days and nothing more. This is also for your own good. Well, you don't have to worry that much. In the immortal land, there is still a way for you to come back here… You will discover that later… anyway. I will meet you in the fields in two days…" the old monk just said and then turns around to leave.

"Wait… why don't you stay and have lunch with us today…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Although the old man didn't need to eat anything anymore, yet food is still a good way to enjoy life. Hence he did not deny it and walked inside the house of Shin Jiao.

Every one of his friends and family met the old man and discover who he was. Everyone was truly amazed that such a powerful being would humble himself and join them.

The group just had a feast. After lunch, the old man left…

That night, Shin Jiao and Qin Lou did not sleep. She didn't want to let go of him and he didn't want to let go of her. And the two spend their time together that way. They knew that their parting is just temporary and they would soon meet once again.

Learning this sure truth somewhat calmed both of their hearts.

Two days later…

Shin Jiao is already standing in the wide and vast field with his friends and family surrounding him. Everyone is in tears as they are already saying their goodbyes.

Qian Li and the five girls gave Shin Jiao their last hug. And Qian Li even gave him a deep kiss with tears all over her face. He also bid farewell to all of his friends and acquaintances that came to say their goodbyes.

Then he left some parting words for his son which left the young man feel a bit teary.

When Qin Lou and he had their eyes met, the two showed a happy smile on their faces.

"I will wait for you out there… I love you…" Shin Jiao whispered and gave her a kiss.

As soon as the two parted, an old man suddenly walked out of a tear in space.

When the rest of the people saw him everyone showed reverence and some even kneel on the ground. This is because the old man did not suppress his real aura and appear in all of his glory.

As one of the saints in the immortal land, the old monk was assigned to find talented and worthy individuals to be sent to the immortal land to be groomed. And his aura is truly majestic that made him look like a venerable and worshipped being.

And this is the reason why everyone in the surroundings and even those in the city suddenly kneels down on the ground.

When the old monk appears, he showed a faint smile on Shin Jiao and just said.

"It's time…"

With a nod of his head, Shin Jiao turn around and for the last time hugged Qin Lou who is already trying to suppress her tears.

Then he let her go and gave her a gentle smile.

The two of them enter the special tear and disappear from the eyes of everyone.

…

Shin Jiao suddenly found himself seemingly floating in space. Then a voice enters his mind.

"Well, I am really amazed that you have grown this much in just a few months." The old monk said as his figure suddenly changed.

The old monk suddenly became a handsome young man.

"My name is Han Guk… I am from the other side of the continent, the one you people called the Land of the Mages… Before I let you enter the immortal land, I will have to change your body first…"

Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback, but before he could say anything else, he suddenly feels a huge amount of pain coming from his body and in his dantian.

"What the heck is this?!" Shin Jiao could not help but shout.
