Chapter 942 - The Inner Kingdom: A Saint’s Corpse

Chapter 942

(Unedited)

…

With the rampaging energy in his body, Shin Jiao did not linger more in checking the things he has gotten from this battle. He quickly gathers all the debris in the void and quickly closes his eyes to consolidate the chaotic energy inside his dantian.

He could even feel the 84 spheres in his dantian seem to be getting hotter as they became stagnant after he absorbed a large amount of the universe's energy.

He began to calm his dantian until everything became peaceful once again.

"If I go out now, this energy would disperse, right? This is not acceptable… I worked hard to gather this much energy and withstand an immense amount of pain. I would not let it just vanish into thin air. I need to preserve them…" Shin Jiao thought for a while and decided to do so by taking out a mana stone inside his dimension.

Then he began crafting a chest plate that would hold the mana stone and connected it to his meridians.

In the chest part of the plate, there are slots where mana stone can be inserted. This in turn would provide power to shield his dantian and prevent the universe's energy from dispersing. If it is just a small amount of the universe's energy, then he need not use the breastplate and mana stones. But since the energy amount is around 84 spheres which is the power of a Lord, it would not be easy for him to control mana and cover them.

Hence this breastplate would do the trick.

In fact, Shin Jiao has been experimenting on this from before and afterward shared it with Axle Long who seemed interested at that time.

Right at this moment, the spheres in his dantian are overwhelming with the universe's energy. With this amount of energy, he only needed a little to reach the High Lord level. If he can break through to the High Lord level, then Shin Jiao would be one of the powerhouses after he gets out of the Land of Death.

"Let's make sure that nothing untoward happens…" he muttered as he inserted two more mana stones.

As he finishes, he looks around the void and immediately noticed the figure that he had marked with his spiritual sense.

Shin Jiao carefully approaches the floating body and found that it seems cold. Surrounding the body is a strong life force that made Shin Jiao feel like kneeling to worship the corpse.

"This body has already reached the saint realm. This is the same feeling I have when facing those saint rulers in the immortal land…" Shin Jiao muttered to himself while observing the body.

The young and handsome feature of the corpse is thoroughly preserved. However, Shin Jiao could still feel traces of dark power that has influenced the body for a very long time.

"That demon has poisoned this body with its dark energy… If this one wakes up, then the whole of the immortal land would be in trouble…" he muttered to himself.

"But, if I absorb it… then… then I could directly jump by leaps and bound. However, what would happen to the soul of this body?" he thought as he tried to analyze the situation.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao extended his hand and absorb the body into his dimension. His plan is to wait for his cultivation level to stabilize and for himself to get used to his newfound strength, then try to absorb the insane amount of karma energy inside the saint ruler's corpse.

With this amount of energy, he might even jump from being a lord to a saint ruler. If that happens then he might hold his head high and never be afraid to go out in the immortal land anymore. He could do whatever he wanted and then control his very own city or even just a small town.

With that thought, he could feel a slight excitement in his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt something cold staring at him in the darkness.

When he turns around he saw the entire void slowly collapsing on its own. And in one corner a resentful soul is looking at him with anger in his eyes.

When Shin Jiao observed this soul carefully he could tell that this is the same soul that belongs to the body, the soul of Ruel.

"It seems that you are unable to get inside your body even when you tried so hard to sneak past us… Hehe…" Shin Jiao taunted.

He has already observed this thing when entering this void. He sneakily tries to enter the body but was unable to. This is because of the strong energy surrounding the surface of the body. The energy seems to be enveloping the body which would block anything from entering it.

If not for that strong energy then the demon would have already possessed the corpse a long time ago.

"Well, you can't blame me for that… you can only blame… her…" Shin Jiao said as he pointed at another floating body from afar as the void dissipated.

The corpse of a beautiful lady is floating in the air. In fact, this corpse is only a couple of meters away from the body of Ruel. However, due to the strange array formation, the body of Ruel was separated by thousands of kilometers in a radius.

And now that the void is gone, they are now inside a white room with a circumference of about 20 meters.

As Shin Jiao walks beside the beautiful woman lying on an altar, he noticed a strong repulsing energy that seems to stop him from walking near her.

If he is unable to walk closer how much more is the soul of Ruel who was left outside the white room?

"So you are Agus… Hmmm…" Shin Jiao began to scan the room and then saw something on the side table at the head of the altar.

There was a letter written on golden paper.

He extended his hand and carefully reads what is written on it.

"…I did not know what else to do. My beloved brother is already under the influence of the strange demon. Even with my power, I am unable to push it away… But I found a way to trick him and that demon. I hope that with this, I and my brother would be able to live a life not too far from each other… even if it is a life of loneliness or misery… That demon wanted power? I will use its greed to trick it. If you wake up and ended up reading this letter, know that you are Agus Yong. One of the daughters of Long clan Saint Immortal Wan Yong… And your brother is Ruel Yong, the eldest son. But I am guessing that you will not remember anything anymore so try and return to the Long clan in the City of Zenhai…"

After reading the letter, Shin Jiao puts it back on the table and then takes a picture of it. He would try to show this to Axle Long or Xiamen Gong, maybe they would have an idea of who these people are.

As Shin Jiao inspects the room, he soon found a lot of things inside which seem to be her things before trapping herself inside this place with her brother.

On a certain secret place which Shin Jiao has easily found through his spiritual sense. There is a hidden library that is really big and wide. The walls in that library are filled with books and scrolls. Shin Jiao did not want to read, but something is telling him to try and read a couple of books that could be seen in the vast library.

And so, Shin Jiao grabs a book from the side and began reading. As he continues browsing the book, his attention was already immersed in what is written in the book. It was just a basic idea on something which has suddenly piqued his interest. And as he continues, he could not help but frown and then stopped.

"Wait a minute… This… The contents of these books do not look anything special. But once you determine some of the things written in here… I could now tell that these are series of arrays and instructions on how this huge array dimensional world was created… This… this is amazing." Shin Jiao muttered as he began to seriously study the multiple arrays and patterns in the book.

Even the life cycle and the death cycle are explained in many different separate books. It truly contains vast knowledge about combining array formation that could even create a small world in any planet surface that could give life to anything inside that array.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao had an epiphany.

"Don't tell me… that worlds are created through this? But on earth and Gaeus Ro, those two planets are not created as such… However, the immortal land… now that is a different story…" Shin Jiao muttered to himself as his mind is already filled with questions.

He took a glance at the whole library and found something on the side. It was a transparent screen that contains some words.

"Complete record of section 1, jade slip…" he read with a flabbergasted expression.
