The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1029

(Unedited)

…

The tranquility that is unexpected and sudden made the whole of the immortal land seems to stand still for a time. Everyone is wary of their surroundings and is on high alert from the enemy which was rampaging in their walls a few hours ago.

However, everyone is unable to believe that suddenly everything seemed to be over. The corpses of the demons and the beasts are still warm while their blood bathes the ground. The bodies of the immortals have already disappeared waiting for their resurrection, and the conflict seemed to have really ceased.

But no one lowers their weapons, no one believes that the peace at hand.

The chaos caused by the demons is like a raging storm that has swept the immortal land bringing the immortals to their knees. They have seen the destructive power of the demons and their schemes and have now felt the danger they really possess, a danger that soon they too will face outside the planet, in the battle of the cosmos.

This kind of thing has happened in the immortal land before. It was hundreds and thousands of years in the past when the demons first invaded the planet.

However, the scale of the invasion this time is far too huge which has somewhat baffled the saint rulers at first. But then they have already learned that the deities above also have a hand in this, so they just grit their teeth and try to survive.

Although they could see that the battle may have been won, but the war is far from over.

The only prayer the saint rulers have is for the human that the goddess has sent to be able to change the fate that has befallen the immortal land.

…

In the Ji village, inside a small house Maga Luan, and Yemei Yin are currently watching what is happening all over the immortal land. When they saw the gruesome battle in Heaven and Earth city, they were worried for Luna Halil and Shin Jiao.

"Is Master Shin going to be okay? I mean he informed us that he is following those demons, right?" Maga said with a worried expression.

"Sigh… I don't know. But from what I know about him, he is someone that would fall because of some insignificant demon. I know that Master Shin is far stronger than we could ever imagine." Yemei Yin replied calmly.

But in truth, she is trying to control her feelings as she tightly held her hand trying her best not to show her anxiousness.

"We should just wait and continue our training. In this battle against the demons and the Shadow Beings, we were not of help to Master Shin. I don't want to be like this forever…" Maga Luan said while clenching her fist.

Yemei Yin on the side heard her and nodded her head. She too knew that she still has a lot to learn. Though she already has the strength, she is unable to use that strength in the meantime. She now has a goal to make herself strong once again so that she would be able to be on Shin Jiao's side.

As the hearts of the two became determined to be of help to Shin Jiao, this made their resolve in becoming stronger rose up to their hearts.

Shin Jiao does not keep secrets from them, so they knew of the existence of the higher realms. They knew that their master's goal is to reach that realm. And if they do not work hard, then they would be left in this place. And that they did not want to happen.

Meanwhile, the Ji village and town are busy as always as they watch the perimeter where demonized beasts are still roaming. They did not fight that hard in the town and when the protection formation array of the whole town outside the village was activated, they did not have to fight anymore as it seems that the whole town suddenly vanished.

Even though the outside world is in chaos, the people in the town and the village are still busy doing their jobs. They have to make sure that the signal feed is uninterrupted.

The Heaven and Earth City, inside a restaurant

Luna, on the other hand, is currently sitting inside the room of the dragon emperor. Sitting on the opposite side in front of her is a tall woman in a silver robe. She has snow-white skin and her scales could barely be seen.

On the side of her head are two silver horns that extended to the middle atop her head. The horns look like hair ornaments in one glance.

Her elegant feature and disposition are evident that she is a draconian royalty.

"You seem to have been busy these days… It is rare to see a female human leading a group… Well, it's rare to see any female being a leader in the immortal land. You can only see a handful of females that's like us, having a high position in society." The beautiful dragon lady said.

"Haha… Princess… you know that this is not my choice, right? What I wanted is to sit on a laboratory table and craft artifacts… Just like sister Naris here." Luna said while glancing at the beautiful woman beside her.

Naris Gumal wave her hand and chuckled.

"This is the condition I asked Shin Jiao, so I'm enjoying every minute of it… Hihi…" Naris Gumal chuckled while sipping her tea.

Ever since coming to Heaven and Earth city, she has been busy helping in their laboratories and workshop. The work is tiring but she likes it. It made her forget about her worries and woes in the world as she immerses herself in crafting and research.

Luna pouted while she looks at the sky outside the window.

"I hope that Shin is okay… He… He never even said goodbye." Luna said in a sad tone.

Upon noticing her, the two women in the private room turned silent.

The dragon princess looks at her friend and smiles.

Ever since she first met Luna a few weeks ago, the two immediately became friends. She did not know why but she feels close to Luna as if she is her real sister.

As the only female in the draconian imperial family, the dragon princess has been pampered by her brothers ever since young. She did not dislike it, but she feel that there is something missing.

And when she met Luna, the two became friends and from then on, they became close.

The dragon emperor did not dislike this closeness as he knew of the talent of the female human. In fact, he wanted his daughter to be close to Luna because he could tell the young woman is full of potential. And making friends with people that have a bright future is something of an advantage for her.

"Sis. Luna… Do you perhaps… like… this Shin Jiao fellow?" the dragon princess teased.

When Nariz heard this, she carefully looks at Luna's reaction. She also wonders what kind of a relation does the two have. Although they are not brothers and sisters by blood, she could tell that the two trust each other and has an air of family in them.

So she wanted to see how Luna would react to this question.

When Luna heard this, she just raised one of her eyebrows.

"Pfft… Shin Jiao and me? Oh… please… He is like my younger brother. Do you want to know how old that guy is?" Luna suddenly said with a smile.

When the two heard this, they immediately perked their ears. They have heard of the rumors about Shin Jiao being young and all. But those are just rumors. Nariz dare not ask about his age as she did not care at that time. But as time goes by, she too became interested.

Meanwhile, the dragon princess has not yet met Shin Jiao so she is curious about whom this guy that her best friend treats as her "younger" brother.

Knowing that she got the attention of the two before her, Luna then leaned forward as if everything is a highly confidential secret.

When the two looks hooked, she then showed a proud smile. She knew that if she told them the true age of Shin Jiao they will not believe her.

"He is in his…"

The two beside her leaned closer.

"…30's…"

Luna said then leans back and carefully sips a tea.

The two look confused and then looks at Luna.

But this time, their expression is somewhat a bit baffled.

"I thought…"

"Wait, what I am telling you are his actual living age…"

The two then showed a surprised expression on their faces.

What does it mean that he is in his 30's? That means that the time he cultivated until he reached his current cultivation level is only around 30 years. So that is what the two are thinking.

"Well, that is not what's most interesting about him. It is the fact, that he has reached his current power level in less than ten years…"

When the two heard this, they immediately showed a flabbergasted look on their faces.

10 years? How absurd was that?

Suddenly, the dragon princess showed realization in her eyes.

"Oh… So I guess that's the reason why father did that…" she said.

Then suddenly realizing her blunder, she covered her mouth.
