The Geared Immortal

Chapter 990

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao stood in front of the planar gate and with a wave of his hand a few formation flags appear. He threw the flags on the ground around the cave and wrote runes in the air sending them on the flags.

Weng!!!

A loud vibrating sound suddenly reverberated in the air while the cave slowly vanishes.

He then gathered the flags, the cave is already gone.

"Now, this mortal plane is already complete." He said with a smile.

The reason why Shin Jiao went to this place is to show this place to the group and to… close it.

The planar gate is actually an unfinished portion of the dimension. As long as the planar gate is around the dimension can be easily destroyed from the inside. However, once it is closed, then only Shin Jiao could control its existence, or rather, everything will now work according to nature.

This place should not be called the Land of death or the Xinglo Kingdom, it should be considered as the mortal plane.

As he finished his task he hops on the flying troop's carrier and noticed the expression of the people inside.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys?" Shin Jiao asked with a slight smile.

He has already expected them to feel this way as their hope was dashed upon discovering that they could not exit the planar gate.

"You have to ask that? How can we leave this place when you closed the gate already?"

"Yeah, we could have just destroyed that gate and exit." Ansen Wine who was quiet for a while suddenly grumbled.

"Pfft… Are you guys stupid like that Forest Dragon? It has been attacking the gate for almost a year and it just caused a slight ripple on its surface. And after stopping the ripple slowly disappear and it has to start over again. So how could it destroy the gate? Plus this place still has its own use. I will try to develop a system to track the souls inside this place… that way, the Long clan can use this as a prison…" Shin Jiao said then looks at Axle Long on the side.

When Axle Long heard this, he showed a slight excitement in his eyes. If what Shin Jiao saying is the truth then it would be a feasible solution. Many immortals in the immortal land would commit crimes and would not think of the consequence because they in fact will not die.

Torture works but still, it has a lesser effect.

However, if this type of punishment would be given, he knew that it might be possible. Stripped with their powers, and be turned into a mortal. Experiencing the pain and suffering of a mortal would surely teach those guys a lesson.

But of course, those that could prove themselves good in this place could have a chance to go back to the immortal land.

While Axle Long is musing, the rest also showed a contemplating appearance.

The group left the area and went back to the capital.

Since they left another week has passed, and the capital has once again returned to its bustling state. The noble houses that were against the king have already been taken care of and the other noble houses enter an agreement with the king.

As of this moment, the royal family only has a few members left. Only those that follow the king and his group were spared. The rest were all exiled to the outer world's border.

The whole Xinglo Kingdom seemed to have been reformed at this point in time.

Meanwhile, in the bamboo formation inside the Hong noble house manor, Shin Jiao walks inside and noticed Lemy and Flora Hong busily doing something in the garden.

When Lemy saw Shin Jiao he immediately transformed into his human form which is still a young boy.

"Hey, Shin… you're back! I heard that there is a big ruckus outside… Some of them even enter this place just to escape the onslaught outside. Hehe…" Lemy said while pointing at the other wooden cabin.

Shin Jiao did not say anything and quickly noticed some of the Hong leaders amongst the people inside the cabin.

They seem to be ordering everyone in that place to work.

"They did not bother your guys?" Shin Jiao asked.

"Nah… with me around, they would not dare," Lemy said with a proud expression.

Flora Hong on the side did not say anything and just continue to tend to her garden.

"I am planning to exit this place soon… would you like to come?" Shin Jiao asked.

He wanted to know what this friend of his would say.

"Hmm… I… I don't know. I kinda like it here." Lemy said while looking at Flora Hong with a loving gaze.

"Do you like her? She a human though and you're a… bird." Shin Jiao teases.

"Oh, Shut up! I might be a bird but I'm still a deity. If ever I decide to go out of this place… I will just return to the immortal land and once again form my saint body… then maybe after thousands of years I will go back to the higher planes…" Lemy muttered.

Suddenly Shin Jiao realized that this guy has been in a deity, a beast deity, so he could get more information from him.

"Wait a minute… you mean, when you reach the deity realm you will go to a higher plane? Where is that plane?" Shin Jiao asked with curiosity beaming in his eyes.

Lemy noticed this and chuckled.

"Hmm... This universe is divided into two, the dark part and the light part. The light is where the deities rule and the dark part is where the shadow beings are ruling. And for eons, the war has been happening without anyone of us taking advantage of the other. Do you know why?" Lemy asked.

Shin Jiao shook his head. Of course, he already knew the war between the deities and the shadow beings.

"The truth is because… everything is following a law. Everyone has to perform great achievement to be able to return to the three high planes." Lemy explained.

"Three high planes?…"

"Yes, the three high planes… This is the reason why many beings in the universe wanted to grow and become powerful. But getting into the three high planes depends on one's karma, either negative or positive." Lemy explained.

"I have never been to the two higher planes… But I can tell you about the lowest of the three planes."

"If I did not get this wrong, you died from the lowest plane, right?" Shin Jiao said with a frown.

Lemy nodded.

"The lowest plane is a battlefield. This is where deities would face their greatest test. It is a trial by fire where one could be deemed worthy to be given a chance to create his own world… But I failed this test." Lemy said with a hint of sadness.

"I cannot explain more, but I just hope that you can be prepared for this," Lemy said while patting Shin Jaio's shoulder.

Shin Jiao nodded his head as he actually has an idea of what Lemy is talking about. Some of the remnant souls that he encountered before have died due to the said battle between the immortals and the shadow beings.

Heaving a deep sigh, Shin Jiao took something out from his dimension, it was a jade token. He then handed it to Lemy.

"This is how you can exit this plane…" Shin Jiao said with a smile as he left.

Lemy waved his hand and a slight smile appears on his face.

The two of them have different destinies, if one day they will meet again, then that would be considered as their fate.

…

Mystique Shop, capital city headquarters

Shin Jiao arrives inside a meeting hall where the higher-ups of the shop are gathered.

Since they are already preparing to exit this place, he knew that it is time to bade farewell to everyone and settle everything.

When he enters a gloomy atmosphere could be felt as there are many showing teary eyes while sitting around the hall.

"It seems that you guys have already known why I am here today." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"Well, for those who are not aware, I will not say any superfluous words. Today, we will arrange the management of the Mystique Shop…" Shin Jiao said and began reading from the document in front of him.

After a while, he could see happiness in the eyes of the others and some especially the ladies are crying.

"Sigh… Guys, you know that we do not belong to this world… We came from the immortal land which is outside of this place. And you too would be going to that place someday... So this is actually not goodbye, right?" Shin Jiao said.

"Okay, I will disclose to you truths about this place… Karma… your karma is the key to get out of this world…" Shin Jiao said but did not elaborate on it.

As he turns around and left, a few people followed him from behind leaving the large group of people to begin discussing one with another.

While he is walking, Xiamen Gong walks beside him.

"So… Where are we heading now?" he asked.

"To Main Arjing City…"
