The Geared Immortal 478 The Heavenly Path To The Immortal Plane

/*unedited*/

Due to the strong pressure they felt, the s.h.i.+p's crew and the mercenaries were unable to hold on and fainted except for one person.

The once foggy canyon is now slowly clearing up. And s.h.i.+n Jiao can see that to the side of the cliff a large crevice was formed. From the looks of it, it was just recently that the rocks and the ground in that area were destroyed and a landslide happened.

And judging from what s.h.i.+n Jiao has heard from the other mercenaries who have always come this way, the dragon rampage didn't happen before, so it seems that the reason for everything is this.

s.h.i.+n Jiao can now vaguely see the four figures with his own eyes and the black orb in the middle. With only using his eyes, he didn't feel any pressure at all.

"Hmm… it seems that this only affects cultivators." s.h.i.+n Jiao muttered after observing the situation.

As he neared the location, s.h.i.+n Jiao saw a place where he can land the wars.h.i.+p. With the strong pressure coming from the four people, he is sure that those cultivators would not be able to wake up soon.

s.h.i.+n Jiao flew up and landed on a platform after docking the wars.h.i.+p on the side of the huge crevice. It was a small cave-like hole that seems to be enough to fit the whole wars.h.i.+p. Even two wars.h.i.+ps can fit that cave-like hole.

As he scanned the place, he noticed a strange carving on the wall of the cliff, the carvings pictures a scene where a large person is standing on a half-circular object which seems to be a planet, while on his side are a number of women in different races.

When s.h.i.+n Jiao saw this, an idea was immediately donned into his mind.

"Is this a picture of religion or something?" he thought as he observes the carving.

Suddenly he saw the eyes of the man moving. This made s.h.i.+n Jiao a bit surprised and curious at the same time.

When he was about to approach the giant carving, a figure suddenly appears from the direction of the black sphere in the middle of the four figures.

"h.e.l.lo, young one… Welcome to the Tianji sect's Heavenly Path. I am the consciousness embodiment of the former Tianji sect master." The man said in a cold and lifeless tone.

When s.h.i.+n Jiao saw the semi-transparent figure of the man, he thought that it was a spirit. But it seems that it's like an AI program from the past.

"This junior greets senior… I am called Si Ji, I'm just a normal person roaming this world." s.h.i.+n Jiao said.

"Hmm… it seems. However, to say that you are a normal person is a bit of an understatement, don't you think?" the man said his tone suddenly changing.

s.h.i.+n Jiao just showed a faint smile.

"Well, since you are here, let me tell you something about the Tianji sect." the man said as he turns towards the black sphere.

Then suddenly s.h.i.+n Jiao saw everything around him change. It's like he was transported into a barren world devoid of life.

"The Tianji sect has existed in this world for a very long time. When this world was created and was filled with life, the Supreme Deity secretly created a protector for this planet. And that is the Tianji sect… However, as time went by and the supreme Deity stopped visiting this plane, the Tianji Sect also began to decline. Until one day, the four powerful sect's great elders receive the news of the pa.s.sing of the Tianji sect's 1000th sect master. In vying to be the next sect master the four great elders fought a great battle that almost destroyed the whole planet asunder. But it all ended in a tie, so a great being decided to intervene. But that great being has decided to trap the four great elders of the sect due to their inability to reach a compromise. And so the great being, the Dragon of destiny decided to sacrifice its life to trap the four powerful humans for eternity." The man said while s.h.i.+n Jiao saw the images changing according to his story.

He noticed that those four statues look exactly the same as the four great elders of the Tianji sect. s.h.i.+n Jiao was amazed at this discovery.

"The dragon of destiny upon sacrificing itself left its two offspring unattended and fends for themselves…"

s.h.i.+n Jiao then saw two small and cute dragons, one is black and the other is gold. When he saw this, a fragment of his memory surfaces in his mind and suddenly knew that the small black dragon might be the one who is slumbering inside his dantian.

"With the sealing of the four elders, the Tianji Sect slowly withered down and died. To prevent anyone from helping these four people, the dragon of destiny uses their own heartbeats to deter those cultivators who would dare enter. Hence the time has pa.s.sed and millions of years have already gone. And now, this place is once again discovered… by you."

"So you mean, this place should be off-limits to anyone, right?" s.h.i.+n Jiao said with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"If the four great elders of the Tianji sect will escape their imprisonment, then this world will be plunged into chaos once again."

"Okay, I got it… however, what about that thing?" s.h.i.+n Jiao suddenly pointed at the carvings on the wall.

"Ah… this is the Tianji Sect's heavenly path… in ancient times, going to the other plane is easy. One should reach the nascent realm first to be able to survive the void. And through this Heavenly Path, a person can reach the immortal plane."

"Really?!" s.h.i.+n Jiao was a bit surprised.

Then an idea and a question enter his mind.

"If I enter this path, will I even met that Deity from earth?" he thought, but he shook his head as he has more important things to do right now.

"Senior, do you want me to protect this place and prevent others from entering, right? This is the reason why you have approached me." when s.h.i.+n Jiao says these words, the man's expression change into a smile.

"You are indeed right."

Then suddenly, the man's expression changed.

With an alarmed face, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze toward the slowly decimating fog.

"It seems that there is another one who made it this far. But he is barely holding himself." The man said.

Following the main's gaze, s.h.i.+n Jiao saw a gray huge dragon with a person on its back. That person was the clan head of the Lao clan.

His disheveled appearance made him look like someone who came out of a huge war. His armor is already torn and his robe is in tatters. His figure is bathed in blood. With one look, one can say that the man is in a poor state, plus as he approaches the area, his consciousness and dantian is being bombarded by strong energy coming from the beating of the four Saint immortal's hearts.

However, when he saw s.h.i.+n Jiao's figure and the wars.h.i.+p inside the cave, his eyes were immediately filled with a burning hatred.

"It was you! You are the one who destroyed my Lao clan! You are the one who killed all of my kin and my… my family!" he shouted in rage.

Ming Lao tried to command the dragon under him to fly forward. But no matter how he tries, the dragon would not budge. In fact, it has a look of fear in its four glowing eyes.

"Cowards! If you won't move, then die!" he shouted as he suddenly uses his Qi to cover his hand as a long sword appears.

Then with a swing, the long sword suddenly extended cutting the huge dragon's head from its neck. Then Ming Lao flew towards the place where s.h.i.+n Jiao is standing.

Watching the master of the Lao clan, s.h.i.+n Jiao just stood there and see how he can approach the area.

The nearer he got to the place where s.h.i.+n Jiao is, the greater the pressure that Ming Lao felt. He knew that before he can even land to the side of that cliff, his consciousness would have already faded. But he is not able to swallow the insult and the resentment in his heart.

He then took out a few talisman and crystal ball from his spatial tool and directed his gaze at the four life-like statues. He then directed them towards the four.

s.h.i.+n Jiao upon seeing this immediately wanted to rush and stop Ming Lao, but the man beside him raised his hand and stopped s.h.i.+n Jiao.

"If it's that easy to destroy these things, it would not have lasted for millions of years and would have already been destroyed even before where many powerful cultivators roam the land."

"But it has already been millions of years, right? Is the pressure still that strong?" s.h.i.+n Jiao's question seems to have doused the man's confidence.

Without a second word from him, s.h.i.+n Jiao immediately appears in the platform and waves his hand in the air.

However, before he can do anything, he soon found that the Qi he has used was absorbed by the black orb. s.h.i.+n Jiao immediately understood something from this event.

s.h.i.+fting his gaze to the struggling figure, he decided to trust in the man's confidence.

"I guess, I could just protect it after one shot." He muttered.

The man beside him showed a smile with renewed confidence in his expression. But of course, s.h.i.+n Jiao also discovered something, the trap is not perfect and it has a loophole. If someone discovers it, then it would be fatal.
