The Geared Immortal

Return to the cultivation land

/*unedited*/

A shimmering light looks mysterious and at the same time gives everyone looking at it a dangerous feeling because of the unknown. The soldiers and the scientist looking at the portal in front of them have mixed feelings within their hearts because of the experiences they have had so far.

Unearthly monsters and creatures from a game can now be seen by them in real life. This is making them jittery and excited.

In front of the group are two people, Shin Jiao and Mary Anderson. The two young people have a look of confidence and seriousness in their expression.

"I will give you some time to do the last check of your equipment… Is everyone ready?" Shin Jiao asked while looking at the people behind him.

"Affirmative…" after a while, one of the navy seal captains answered.

Seeing that everyone seems ready, Shin Jiao immediately steps forwards and without hesitation entered the shimmering portal. He was followed by Mary Anderson and the rest of the team.

As they pass through the portal, everyone felt their vision turned blurry as everything around them began to distort and flickering lights covered their surroundings. Instead of darkness and the void, it looks like a kaleidoscope and rain of different shapes and colors.

They began floating as they felt their body became weightless and then they were thrown through the colorful space in a seemingly endless loop.

Not long later, the group felt their feet landing on solid ground, and in front of them is a large mirror with a view of a clearing in a forest with some stone rubble on the sides.

Shin Jiao took out his newly crafted katana and cautiously walked out of the portal.

Then he saw the familiar-looking trees and shrubberies around him. And there he knew that he was back to the cultivation land.

As his body felt the thick Qi and mana or natural energy in the air, it began to absorb it with gusto. He can immediately feel the hunger within his dantian as it automatically absorbs everything around him.

"I guess this is the difference…" a voice behind him interrupted his stupor.

It was Mary who has a big smile on her face. She is feeling happy as she began absorbing the mana in the surroundings.

"Don't get too distracted. We are in a dangerous zone…" Shin Jiao warned as he can see Mary already closing her eyes as she began absorbing the rich mana in the air.

Shin Jiao saw the rest following behind as they had a look of surprise and excitement especially the scientist.

"Everyone, don't move out yet until I say so." Shin Jiao said as he immediately scanned his surroundings.

He was too surprised to feel the range of his spiritual sense.

Shin Jiao can feel that his spiritual sense grew as his cultivation level recovers. Right now, his physique is equal to a true infant soul realm cultivator. While inside his dantian there are 5 sphere containers with 10 spheres each. As the spheres are slowly being filled, his spiritual sense also grew in range.

50 meters…

60 meters…

100 meters…

Shin Jiao could not see any beasts in the area.

Then he tried to use his absolute sense which is linked to his own consciousness and mental strength. And to his surprise, it now far surpasses the range of his spiritual sense. Right now he can actually reach up to 10 kilometers in range.

And within that range, Shin Jiao can see many powerful beasts. Luckily for them, the beasts are in slumber and not moving. He suddenly remembers that if these beasts have felt his spiritual sense, it would be disastrous for them.

"That was lucky…" he muttered.

"Alright, everyone! Nobody should go out for more than 1 kilometer from here. If you do, then you're on your own." Shin Jiao warned as he began inspecting the whole area.

Meanwhile, Mary saw a spot and immediately sat in a lotus position and began absorbing the rich mana in the air.

"What is she doing?" a scientist whispered to his peers.

"I think she is meditating…"

"At this time? She should be looking around and exploring, what a waste…"

"Stupid, they are not normal people."

The group of scientists began to discuss while looking at Mary. But then they were all stumped as the stones around her began to move.

Mary is already on the brink of breaking through to another level of the Arch-Mage realm before they were transported to Earth. Now that she was able to once again absorb rich mana, her years of stagnation were awoken to make her immediately reaching the peek.

When Shin Jiao felt that she is going to break through, he immediately knew of the danger. So with a quick move, he began to construct formation array around the portal area hiding it from the outside world. Then he also formed an aura suppressing array to prevent any beast from detecting what is happening.

But of course, those who are closer than 3 kilometers would still be able to detect the unnatural disturbance in the area.

The inhuman-like speed that Shin Jiao just showed turn the people around him with their mouth wide open. This is followed by gasps of disbelief as they can see the area slowly being covered by a transparent barrier that forms a dome-like shape.

"What is this?" asked one of the soldiers as he tried to approach the barrier.

"That is a one-way barrier… you can go out, but it would be hard for you to get in." Shin Jiao replied with his eyes inspecting the array he just made.

Luckily no one still made a move and went out of the ruins that they are in. So everyone heaves a sigh of relief upon hearing his words.

"Alright, prepare what you need. Before going out, you have to talk to me and I will give you a talisman necklace so that you can safely pass through the array." Shin Jiao instructed.

Then he began creating the necklace talismans.
