Chapter 799 - The Valley of Mortals 2

Chapter 799

(Unedited)

…

After sending those three people out in a blink, Shin Jiao smirked as he stood up and prepares their things for their departure. He and Nariz Gumal has already determined their destination and decided on what to do next.

After a while, they all gathered in the middle of the luxurious hotel room.

"Is everyone ready?" he asked while looking at the three people in front of him.

Nariz Gumal carefully looks at him as she is really interested in this type of teleportation ability. However, no matter how hard she tries to understand the underlying principle behind this type of teleportation method, it always evades her judgment and understanding. Hence she decided to just watch more and slowly learn it by heart.

Shin Jiao stretch his hand and held Nariz Gumal's which made the woman blush a little. Nariz also held on to Im Jae and Im Jae to Im Ao. When the four of them are interconnected already, Shin Jiao activated the spell in his mind.

It did not take long before they slowly turned into sand statues.

Meanwhile, in the outer part of the town near the cliff where the Land of Death is located, the ground began transforming, and slowly four sand statues slowly appear.

When Shin Jiao opens his eyes he could now see the cliff where the Land of Death is located.

He carefully analyzes the terrain and noticed nothing is amiss.

He waved his hand and a small floating ball appears. Shin Jiao then controlled that floating ball to fly to a distance and scout the area.

From his view, he could see the cliff that they are talking about.

The cliff is actually not that deep; it's only the height of a two-story building. As he looks around, he suddenly noticed the gray mist below the cliff.

"That should be the mist that engulfs the lower level of the cliff and the possible entrance to the Land of Death." Shin Jiao muttered.

When Nariz Gumal heard his words, she showed interest and then walks closer to Shin Jiao.

"Did you find anything?" she asked curiously.

"Hmm… Yes, but I still need to investigate this further." Shin Jiao said as he controlled the ball to enter the mist.

The ball did not hesitate and flew below and enter the misty area.

Suddenly his connection to the ball flickered as his view became hazy. Then after a few seconds, Shin Jiao could now see what the ball is seeing.

But there is static interference.

He tried to switch to soul control, but it is not possible as it seems that soul control is not possible in that place.

"This might be the reason why it is called the Land of Death." Shin Jiao thought as he somewhat understands that misty place.

In the immortal land, the people living in this place are able to resurrect after 3 days because of the intricate connection of their soul to their soul stones. And this made them immortals, unable to face death and could live for thousands and millions of years.

In doing so, they should become stronger and be ready to go out and face those shadow beings and other powerful creatures in the universe.

However, due to the limit of the human race and their limited understanding of the Dao, it became harder for humans to ascend to the Deity level.

They are like those lower races that are also having a hard time ascending.

However, not everything is useless. Unlike the High Elves who uses their unique artifacts to reach the heights of their power and ascend, the dragons and the giants who use their innate abilities to understand the Dao, humans, and other lower races rely on their own feeble strength, hence they are considered as the weaklings among the races in the immortal land.

And this soul connection is the secret of immortality in the immortal land.

But in this place, that soul connection is non-existence. And this might be the reason why this is a place where immortals can truly die. Upon thinking up to this point, Shin Jiao's interest in this place was already piqued.

As Shin Jiao controlled the floating ball he soon saw a strange scene in front of him. After going through the misty area he soon saw a scene inside a gloomy forest. But the land is inclined to he is sure that those who fall from that cliff would tumble further as they enter this place.

Plus, any ability of the floating ball connected to the universe's energy and soul is non-functional anymore. Luckily he has already considered this before. Hence, inside that floating ball, there is an array that uses any type of energy to propel its hovering mechanism.

Hence right now, he could see that the ball is using natural energy or the mana in the air as fuel.

Not long later, he soon discovers that below the forest, there are tons of wreckages of different kinds of carriages. Plus he also noticed the presence of weird beasts that looks like a combination of a wolf's body with a head and tail of a snake.

The weird creature moves in a group of 3 or 4 hunting packs.

As he follows through the wreckage which seems to spread further he soon discovered a small settlement about a kilometer away from the edge of the forest where the wreckages are located.

He willed the floating ball to hover higher, and from that spot, he soon discovers that the place is actually a valley.

After seeing that, something came to his mind.

"The valley of the mortals…" he thought.

Shin Jiao wanted to go further, but someone suddenly patted his shoulder which made him stop his action.

"We have company." Nariz Gumal said.

Shin Jiao stopped but did not sever his connection to the floating ball. He looks at the incoming figures from afar and just frowns.

This is because not too far from them he saw a couple of people. Two beautiful women and three men are leading the group of around 20 people behind them.

He recognized the two women, Vilma Song and his guest inside the hotel a while ago, Hua Xiao. Furthermore, he also knew those two men which are Hua Xiao's protectors. What made Shin Jiao frown is because now he is facing three lord-level fighters. Besides those two men, the other man who seems to be leading this group with a proud gate as he walks is actually someone he did not recognize.

Shin Jiao looks at Nariz Gumal who just shook her head. This means she did not want to intervene with this mess. He did not know why, but it seems that although she has the power of a High Lord, that thing inside of her seems to be the problem. She might not even be able to show her ability as a High Lord.

But that is only his conjecture.

As if without a care in the world, Nariz Gumal suddenly turns around and disappeared. Shin Jiao wanted to curse the woman for being too shameless to tag along and not wanting to help them. But he is helpless as the woman has the power to back her haughtiness. Though he is doubtful of her true strength, he dare not test her.

When one of the women suddenly disappears, Ansen Wine frowns as he has already seen that she has an excellent appearance. Although her face is covered in a thin veil, he could see her exquisite feature which is far more than the two behind him.

Now he became more interested in this battle. If he could defeat the man, then he might even obtain more treasure and that exquisite-looking woman.

But she suddenly disappears which made him unhappy.

Shin Jiao takes out a pair of suits, shields, and weapons inside his dimension and gives it to the two who are standing behind him.

"I think we will be facing some enemies today. It would be good training for the two of you. Use what you have learned and show me your progress." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the two showed a faint smile and nodded their heads.

Not long later, the group has already reached near Shin Jiao and his two companions.

"Haha… I guess this is our lucky day… Those two are wielding some powerful stuff. Those should be mine…" Ansen Wine said with a proud smile on his face.

His eyes are glued to the artifacts and gears that Im Ao and Im Jae are wearing and holding.

"Bring out all of your wares and I might not turn you into my slave." He said with an evil grin.

He is confident that those three are not his match. The man in front of him is only a gold level fighter, and those two are just a servant and silver level, so how could they fight against three lords and more than 20 gold level fighters?

"Lord Ansen… I want that guy to suffer… Hmm… Those two look different from the two beggars he is with…" Vilma Song suddenly said with a frown.
