Chapter 118 Changes

Chapter 118

/*unedited*/

The strong pressure was too intense that the two men with their hands already outstretched suddenly fell on the floor. Their cultivation level is only at the spirit refining realm, but they dared to rob Shin Jiao because they thought that his dantian is already gone and he is helpless.

But what they didn't know is that Shin Jiao didn't just laze around and do nothing while his consciousness is out. He works hard on forming the spheres on his mind dantian, this equals to having a mana core. Plus his absolute sense has now become too strong that he is already showing a psychokinetic-like ability which without using any energy he is able to move and manipulate things. Though it is still weak, it is already enough to take care of the people in front of him.

"With just this short pressure on their brains, they already can't move. I guess my absolute sense is already this strong. Hmm… I wonder how I would fare when facing higher realm cultivators." Shin Jiao muses.

"You… what… what have you done! My sons!" the woman who is standing near the door suddenly bellowed as she saw the two men fell on the floor while their mouths began to foam.

When Shin Jiao saw this he felt helpless, he wanted to also silence the woman but she is a little too far from him and is unable to reach her with his newfound ability.

Though his absolute sense is already able to detect things at a distance of 500 meters without too much burden on his mind, his absolute sense control or the psychokinetic-like ability is only able to reach around 5 meters. When he used this ability to the two men Shin Jiao felt a little pang of pain on his head. Though it is not much but he knows that what he did, put some stress within his mind. But still, he can feel that he can use this attack more than 20 times before passing out.

So this would serve as his trump card in the future as long as he does it indiscreetly. As it does not use spiritual Qi or natural energy, no cultivator can detect it.

"What do you mean? I… I didn't do anything." Shin Jiao said while showing a confused expression.

"What!? You… then… how did they fall?" the woman said looking at Shin Jiao cautiously.

But upon realizing something the woman's vigilance lowered because she remembered that the young man in front of her already have his dantian ruined. But what puzzled her is the reason why her two strong and able sons suddenly lost their consciousness.

Then her eyes suddenly gleamed towards the many pouches on the side table.

"Those things might contain some treasure and those who approach it with hostility would be dealt with… I… I should approach it cautiously then." The woman thought as she arrives at a conclusion.

She then slowly walks towards Shin Jiao trying to reign on her hostile intent.

"I think you are hiding something, but whatever it is, it won't work on me." the woman confidently said as she slowly approaches.

Shin Jiao just looks at the woman with confusion.

"Did she realized something? This woman couldn't have sense my new ability right?" Shin Jiao thought as he continues to watch the comedic action of the middle-aged woman.

Shin Jiao didn't show her any reaction, which made the woman feel confident in her decision. So she continues to walk slowly almost tiptoeing towards the side table.

When she reaches the 5-meter mark Shin Jiao didn't wait and immediately sent his absolute sense towards the woman's head targeting her memory and consciousness.

Plop! Thud!

The woman fell on the floor with foam slowly coming out of her mouth. What she didn't expect that when she was feeling elated at that time, she felt something hitting her head like a huge hammer and then everything went blank.

When Shin Jiao saw this he heaves a sigh of relief. Although he didn't kill them as he didn't want to cause more trouble for himself, he made sure that they would not remember what happened in this room. It would take them a couple of hours before the three would wake up, so he has a lot of time to pack his things and leave.

"The wound in my stomach is still open? How?... I… Shin Jiao felt a little helpless…" he has focused more on regaining his cultivation that he forgot that he has a huge wound. But then his body is still able to heal it to this extent so he is still grateful.

"Though I can still feel pain but this is already manageable. I have to leave this place and do my recuperation in the cave." Shin Jiao muttered.

This time he didn't want to think twice anymore and checked his pouches. Luckily the teleportation scroll is still there along with other scrolls he made to hide it. Just in case he would face some tragedy and lost his pouch none would be able to suspect anything. Plus the scroll is using complex runes so it would not be easy to decipher.

When Shin Jiao finished his preparation and saw that almost everything important is there except for some food, he decided to open up the scroll and use it.

After reading the incantations on the scroll, it took around 20 seconds before the scroll activates and suddenly a crack in space opens up and the figure of Shin Jiao suddenly disappears.

Teleportation scrolls like these are not often used in the cultivation land as most cultivators prefer to use space crystals or dimensional orb for quick teleportation. Although the material costs more and is harder to make, yet its effect is fast. In a tight situation, a cultivator could immediately save their lives just by breaking them.

But of course, to make these kinds of life-saving artifacts is not easy. It would take a person well versed with runes and arrays to work non-stop for a couple of days just to finish one. Plus the energy stored in each of these artifacts should be enough to open up two points in space and dimension, hence cultivators at the infant soul realm or higher are needed in making such tools.

In a blink of an eye, Shin Jiao found himself inside the huge well-lit cave.

"Sigh… I guess I'm back to square one with my cultivation. But at least I was able to recover part of my old cultivation back. The only problem I have now is how to use spiritual Qi. Without it, my cultivation technique is not complete." Shin Jiao muttered.

Feeling helpless, Shin Jiao looks dazedly at the ceiling covered with shiny luminous stones which emits light on its own. He began to contemplate his new situation and what to do about it. He would not let it go just like that and give up. His goal is to become strong once again so that he can go back and see Qin Lou and the under base community.

"I… miss you." Shin Jiao muttered unconsciously.

It has been many weeks since he last saw Qin Lou. Actually Shin Jiao is not worried about Qin Lou herself, what he is worried about is losing her feeling for him. Due to two failed relationships, his trust in love has already to wane. So even though he is sure about his feelings for her, he is afraid that she would also leave him.

"I have to hasten things. But how?..." Shin Jiao muttered as he ponders deeply once more.

Then he suddenly remembers the dream he has while still in a comma. The man he saved at that time talks about implants and he also learned that the reason why the man was saved is because of his ability to make artificial organs. After that time, the man became famous and was known all over the world. Because of his research, perfect biomechanical implants were created.

"That's right! I still have my spiritual roots. All I need to do is to make an artificial dantian right? With my ability to craft, I can make one… Materials?... Hahaha… I have almost all of them here. This is great; I need to write up a plan." Shin Jiao began to run his imagination wild.

As Shin Jiao began to plan in making his own cultivation once again, he began to write a plan for his own future. He didn't want to become a machine, he just wanted a power core like thingy for his body to improve. If he can make something like that, all he needed to concentrate on now is to make his physique able to handle the power produced by that core.

That way he can utilize the power like his very own dantian. Though it is artificial, yet Shin Jiao didn't have a choice. He didn't have the opportunity to know how to grow a new dantian. But as a scientist, this is not a hindrance. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

If he has lost his dantian he would rely on his gears to make one.

As Shin Jiao began to work, he didn't even realize the time…

Meanwhile…

Deep within the Daemon forest a lone figure of a beast that looks like half-man and half-reptilian slowly walks through the woods. Every step of this creature would cause the trees in front of it to break apart. Even the high-level beast would go out of its path with great fear clearly shown on their eyes.

"Hisss… The chosen one seems to be moving about. The mark on you is both a blessing and a curse, but I will claim it for myself. The stronger you become the better… I can't wait to taste your soul little human." The creature muttered in a human voice as it suddenly turns its head in a direction.

The creature then continues to walk eastwards towards the boundary between the cultivation land and the land of the beast clan. Its powerful aura spells doom to those who would come across its path.

The boundary of the two lands is always embroiled in fighting. As the two races which dominate each of their lands have strong animosity between each other. But no one knows that something powerful and dangerous is currently coming their way.

…

As time went by the cultivation land continue its way of life where the strong would always dominate the weak and fighting for survival and cultivation resources as everywhere. The mortals who would always live in constant fear has heard of a sanctuary which they can call home deep within the Daemon forest near the town of Dis. Many have already made the journey to this land they called mortal's paradise which made the town of Dis grew in its population.

Now the town of Dis has already reached a population of almost 500,000 people and most of them are mortals. Due to this, the economy of the town began to grow and the trading of cultivation resources and food between mortals and cultivators helped improve the lives of the people living in the town.

In a large hall where many people are gathered, a discussion is happening.

"Grand elder! Is the news really true? The mortal community inside the protective array has started to move out?" a middle-aged white-haired man suddenly asked.

After that question, hush whispering suddenly erupted all over the hall. But then everyone suddenly kept quiet as the man sitting on a grand bronze seat lifted his hand.

"Yes… they are... actually going to send someone to negotiate with us today." The grand elder said.

The grand elder who is wearing a long blue court robe looks imposing with his mix of black and white hair. Although he is already old but his appearance is only that of a middle-aged man. This is due to the advancement of his cultivation of the nascent realms. In the last war, upon seeing the fight between a young man with a unique aura and the level 6 beast he has gained some enlightenment.

And because of this he immediately went into seclusion. He didn't know that after he went to his seclusion trouble has arisen in the mortal's community which made them hid inside a very strong and powerful barrier. When the Grand elder found out he was in a rage, he did not expect that some of the elders even colluded with outsiders to suppress their benefactor.

And because of this, he decided to clean the council and kick those elders who are involved with this out of the town of Dis.

But when he receives the news that it has only been a couple of months and the mortal community is now reaching out to the outside world again he felt ecstatic.

The grand elder has already experienced what the mortals in that place can do, the things that they can produce and the prowess of their long lost leader have shown. If he can have their cooperation and will have a harmonious relationship with the community, then the town of Dis would become the most powerful and advanced town in the cultivation land.

It might even turn into a huge city if his vision would come to fruition. So now he would do anything in his power to stop anyone or anything from ruining the treaty between the town of Dis and the mortal community.

All of a sudden a guard suddenly ran inside the hall.

"Ahem… Elders… The delegates have arrived." The guard immediately said.

This made the area suddenly turn silent as the people inside turns all their gazes towards the huge open entrance of the hall.

Then everyone can clearly hear clanking noise of metal hitting the floor tiles, this sound reverberates through the hallway.

From the sound, everyone can clearly hear dozens of heavy synchronized footsteps. The elders could not help but use their spiritual sense in advance to see the people coming from outside. As most of them are already in the gold core and some are infant soul realm cultivators, they are able to reach their spiritual sense to cover the whole compound where the large hall of the town council stood.

When their spiritual sense saw the group of people wearing weird metal suits on their bodies, everyone gasped in amazement. The group of escorts immediately stopped when they reached the hall's door.

Then from the entrance of the hall, the people inside saw three figures.

One is a very beautiful young woman with silver hair. The color of her long hair made her look like a fairy but she is clearly a mortal, then a young man which seems to be a powerful cultivator in the late-stages of the gold core realm. In the middle of the two is another familiar figure which everyone knows.

When she arrived an elder suddenly stood up from the crowd donning a happy expression. He immediately walks forward meeting the three young people.

"Qin Lou, my dear I'm glad you're back!"
