Chapter 767 - Gateway valley

Chapter 767

(Unedited)

…

Eerie Darkness and suffocating silence,… a combination that could send shivers running down the spine of any person that could experience such a scene.

As Shin Jiao slowly opens his eyes, he could feel pain all over his body. Even though he is wearing his bio-exoskeleton suit, he still feels that his body has suffered too much in that fall.

While slowly opening his eyes, he saw a figure lying on top of him. He was immediately worried and checked the woman's condition. She has suffered a few fractures but she was still able to survive the fall. Maybe it's because his own body cushioned her fall which explained the throbbing pain in his chest and stomach.

As Shin Jiao scanned his body, he could see that a few of his bones are cracked.

Even though he is already very strong, he still suffered such injuries. This only explains how deep the ravine was.

While looking around, Shin Jiao saw a few figures lying on the ground. Although they are still alive, they are already unconscious.

When he and the woman were falling a few guards and shadow creatures actually chase after them. And while falling he has no choice but to fight them.

They were using their flying swords and elemental attacks while he is using his psychokinesis and domain to kill as many as he could.

Before he knew it, he suddenly feels a large creature coming from below him. Shin Jiao was very quick to move and using his Thunder Blade technique, he rendered that shadow beast paralyzed and used its huge body as his cushion, thus surviving the long fall.

Shin Jiao waved his hand and began taking the lives of those shadow creatures that are still alive along with the helpless soldiers.

He also created a holy array to dispel the shadow essence in the bodies of those soldiers.

Shin Jiao did not waste any energy core this time. While checking his surroundings, he showed contentment and then carefully treated the woman's wounds.

After a while, Shin Jiao looks at the area where they have fallen and was a bit distracted upon realizing that he could actually not hear any trace of sound.

With bafflement in his eyes, he carefully checked the surroundings and the gray mist in the air. Although it does not hamper his vision, the rest of his senses are blocked.

Shin Jiao was truly shocked at this time and did not know what is happening in his surroundings.

As he tries to feel the energy in his body, he feels a bit happy as he still has plenty in his dantian. However, as he tries to activate a spell, he was surprised that the energy he cast vanished into thin air. It was as if the environment would automatically dispersers any universe's energy in the air.

Shin Jiao has experienced the same phenomenon in Planet Gaeus Ro; hence he is not surprised to see such things.

As he carefully checks his surroundings, he suddenly noticed that there is a concentration of energy in a particular direction. It seems that every speck of energy in the area is being absorbed there.

Shin Jiao did not dare deactivate his bio-armor as he carefully carried the woman towards the direction of the energy concentration.

Soon he arrives in a place where there is a huge space. In that space, he could see spatial cracks everywhere.

While looking at those spatial cracks, Shin Jiao suddenly realized something.

The place he is in right now may not be the cliff where he has fallen. As he tried to recall his memory of what had happened at that time, he suddenly showed realization in his eyes.

When he was falling, he saw a mist-covered ravine. But then suddenly, he noticed that they seem to have entered a spatial crack at that time, but it was just an instant.

Since he was busy fighting against his enemies, he did not notice that such a thing have actually happened.

Shin Jiao now realized that he might not even be in the Osmond clan anymore.

He cautiously came closer to the concentration and could not feel the stabilization of the Dao elements in the air.

He tried to conjure a simple fire in his fingertips and saw that it was successful; hence he just showed a smile on his face. He took out some instruments in his ring and began to do a soul imprint extraction to the woman.

This would render the black box or anything that is holding her soul imprint and reset back to her resurrection stone.

Then he takes out a jade plate and then puts her imprint on it. Shin Jiao then carefully put some clothes on her and afterward, he calculated the distance between his location right now and his town.

When Shin Jiao discovers the distance, he was a bit shocked. This is because; he is actually not in the human race territory anymore. The distance for the woman to be able to return is far too long and it would need a lot of energy for her to be sent to the town.

"Damn it… I never expected that this would create such a problem." Shin Jiao muttered.

Without a choice, he took out some pills in his ring and feed them to the woman.

He waited for a while and soon the woman suddenly m.o.a.ned on his side. Shin Jiao waited for her to open her eyes.

The woman slowly opens her eyes and saw a dark misty sky, and an environment rich with the universe's energy.

When the woman saw an unfamiliar environment she was suddenly in a panic.

"Shhh… Calm down… you're safe…" Shin Jiao said while holding the woman's shoulder.

The woman was already in a panic, but upon seeing a masked man beside her, she was now thoroughly horrified.

Seeing her reaction, Shin Jiao deactivate his helmet and showed his smiling face.

Upon discovering another human she felt a bit at ease, but her anxiety is still present.

"I'm the one who rescued you in Gipard town…" Shin Jiao began explaining what had happened to them.

After a while, the woman showed a calm expression on her face. But then upon remembering the shame she suffered from being r.a.p.ed, her tears suddenly gush once again.

Shin Jiao seems to have guessed what she is feeling as he just carefully patted her shoulder to calm her down.

After crying for a bit, the woman fell asleep as she seems to be really tired and stressed out after what she just came through.

The location that Shin Jiao and the woman are staying at is a small hole on the ground that Shin Jiao created. He has already set up a camouflage array to hide their presence and the hole.

"I need to see more of what this place is…" he muttered as he takes out some metal ore in his ring and other materials.

After about an hour, Shin Jiao has created a rough-looking drone that looks like a ball with many eyes.

Activating the flying runes, the drone rose up in the sky and began looking at the space in front of him. Shin Jiao activated his helmet and everything that the drone is seeing is displayed on his screen.

Not long later, Shin Jiao has fairly scouted the large space and is now showing befuddlement in his eyes. As he was thinking of what he has just seen, he suddenly remembers that the wide spans of an area filled with spatial cracks are actually very familiar to him.

He knew that he might have seen that same formation anywhere. In fact, this same large area or he might even call it 'space' is actually a map, a huge map of the stars.

Then he suddenly rummages through his ring and saw the simple-looking orb.

With a smile, Shin Jiao takes out the orb from his ring.

But as soon as he did this, he suddenly feels that something has gone wrong. So without a second thought, he immediately hid it.

Although he was able to hide the orb, those entities in this place have already felt the aura and have already located his position.

Unknown to Shin Jiao many gazes in the sky have already shifted and are currently watching him.

"The map of the galaxies… I knew it! The map is still in the immortal land… Hahaha…"

"I told you that it was hidden…"

"But how could such an insignificant figure got hold of that thing?"

"We must get that map… It would be most helpful in our campaigns…"

"No, that map should not leave the immortal land. No matter what happened it must not get out of this planet."

"But that human is in this place… He might be planning to use one of these jump holes. If he did, then it would be hard for us to find the map once again…"

"Wait! I think… I think this would be for the best."

"…"

A few voices from above began to discuss while Shin Jiao is oblivious of the many presences that are watching him.

He just tried to think of the reason why that fluctuation suddenly happened. He now knew that the universe map that he discovered from that cave would have its use someday, and this might be that day.
