The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1043

(Unedited)

…

In the darkness of his unconscious mind, Xin Ja slowly floated while looking around in confusion. He had known that he fainted due to the stress in his mind while controlling the energy of his Ki and at the same time using his Absolute Sense.

While floating in the void, he suddenly noticed that not too far away from him, he saw a small seed-like object also floating.

He quickly tried to get close to that object, but no matter how he tries to move his body, it is still stationary as if being held by some invisible power.

"What is that… thing?" he muttered.

But to his amazement, he suddenly saw in front of him the thing that he has been seeing from his unique vision.

'Hello! I am Soul Chip 00 prototype.' The text is displayed in front of him.

He tried touching the words, but he is unable to reach them.

"Hmm… So you can hear me?" Xin Ja asked.

'Yes… This is the second time that I appear before you. The first time is when you were still a baby…'

"Oh… How could I remember, that?... Anyway, do you know how I can get out of here? I need to get out of here and help my father." Xin Ja asked.

'Sorry… I cannot help you with any physical influence in the outside world. I could only provide you with the needed information and knowledge that is necessary for your growth.'

Upon reading this, Xin Ja frowned.

Well, he has already expected this. This thing has been with him ever since he was born. It is just that this is the first time that he is seeing its true form.

"Then… Can you help me get strong fast?" he asked.

This is the only way for him to get out of this place. He needs to get stronger and fast.

'Well, this place is unlike any other planet… I can detect a higher type of energy in here that is unlike those in your previous worlds. If you can create an energy gathering array in here, then your strength would surely reach the saint realm in just one night...'

"Saint realm? What is that?"

'It means that your sphere will turn gold in color.'

"Oh… I see… Yes! Yes, that is what I want!" Xin Ja was immediately delighted.

'Alright… it's time for you to wake up then…'

Upon reading this, Xin Ja felt a bit confused.

But before he knew it, he felt a strong force hitting his stomach.

Bam!

His small figure flew towards the wall with a loud thud.

The jolting and the pain caused him to wake up from his unconscious state.

Cough! Cough!

"There he is… he's now awake!" the bulky man said with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Hey… Big Kan… Be gentle to the kid. He is still our bargaining chip." Another voice said coming from outside the door.

"Che… This is annoying… If it were me, I would cut the head of this kid and present it to that fool of a father. Let's see if he still doesn't fear us and tell us what we needed." The man called Big Kan said.

"Stupid!… It does not work like that. That merchant is not ordinary, our boss could already tell… Stop fooling around and Let's go!" the voice said as footsteps could be heard walking away from the outside.

When Big Kan heard this, a sinister smile suddenly appears on his mouth as he picks up Xin Ja and with a slight pinch of his large hand breaks the young boy's left arm.

Crack!

Aahhhh!!!

Xin Ja cried in pain as his left arm was broken.

"Haha… Cry little one… I like it when you cry in pain… Ohhh… It's like music to my ears… Hehe…" Big Kan said as he threw the young boy on the ground.

He did not even notice that the cuff on the hand of the boy is already undone.

He just strode outside the cell and locked the door with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Hehe… Should I do this every day until every bone in that boy's body is broken? Haha…" Big Kan chuckled as he strutted down the corridor.

Left inside the prison cell, Xin Ja is gasping for breath as he gritted his teeth as pain courses all over his body.

Tears began flowing from his eyes, but he dare not sob because he could feel that his chest really felt painful.

In his mind, he could already deduce that two of his rib may have been fractured.

Then he dare not move as his left arm is broken and slight movement causes him to wince in pain.

"Papa… Save me…" he unconsciously muttered.

But then he realized that his father was also taken. His heart could not help but feel a pang of anger. Although he is always alone and holds no grudge towards other people, it does not mean that he does not know anger.

Right now, that is what drove his mind to work.

The face of that big guy is already imprinted in his mind. And for some unknown reason, he feels that he could see some of the things that he could do to make that guy suffer as he did to him.

"No… I must get out of this place first…" he muttered as he slowly closes his eyes.

'Warning! Warning! You have suffered some damages to your body. Two of your right ribs are broken, and your left arm is fractured… Suggested treatment is the need for bone alignment and mending using Ki.'

After reading this, Xin Ja quickly absorbs the chaotic Ki in the air and quickly fixes his ribs. This is his first target as it causes him more discomfort than his broken left arm.

After 10 minutes have passed, the pain in his chest is now gone.

But a frown appears on his face. This is because the Ki in the air is too slow and not enough for him to absorb. He opens his eyes and checked the condition of his left arm.

With his expression turning ugly due to pain, he carefully aligned his bone and tore some of his old robes as he temporarily wrapped his arm. He has no material nor time to make a splinter. Instead, he grabbed a small stone on the ground.

"I have to make this a bit sharper…" he thought.

Then the fingers in his right hand glowed, and with that, the small stone in his hand slowly transformed into a thin sharp object the size of his pinky.

A smile crept on his face amidst the discomfort of his broken left arm.

Without hesitation, Xin Ja began carving the required runes to create an energy flow array.

After 20 minutes of laborious work, he was finally done. His left arm is already turning slightly violet in color which made Xin Ja feel pained.

But he gritted his teeth and quickly sits in a meditative posture. With this, he quickly observes his surroundings. Upon doing so, he was immediately shocked.

This is because he could immediately feel the thickness of the Ki around him. It was like all of the Ki in the air was gathered all around him.

Xin Ja is no fool, he knew what he has to do.

And so, he began absorbing the Ki in the air and at the same time, began healing his broken arm.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The sound of bones being repaired could be heard as his left arm's fracture began to be mended along with the complete recovery of his two cracked ribs.

Although he has spent a lot of his Ki to mend his bones and his bruises, he still has more than enough to fill the sphere in his dantian.

Not long later, he could now feel his body invigorated.

"Hmm… Wait a minute… my bones… they are stronger now… and… oh… my sphere has now grown this much and has now turned silver…" he muttered in realization.

He was too engrossed in mending his bones while healing his wounds that he did not notice that his dantian is also growing rapidly.

As the information said, Ki or Heavenly Spiritual Energy is not like any other energy. It is far richer and denser than other energy in the universe. Only if he could harness its power could he use it properly. And thanks to his sphere, he is able to harness that energy effectively.

When Xin Ja opens his eyes, a glint of ruthlessness suddenly appears in his eyes.

That guy has beaten him because he just likes it. Although he feels afraid of the bulky guy, he still was able to deduce how he would be able to subdue him.

Of course, he would not use force, because no matter how much he thinks about it, that guy is still bigger and more powerful than he is.

However, that person did not have what he has, and that is his knowledge.

As of now, Xin Ja is already familiar with two particular skills that he could use against that person.

The first one is his knowledge of runes and array formation.

And the second one is his knowledge… in medicine.

His thought was suddenly interrupted when he noticed that the golden rays of the sun are already slowly creeping into the room.

He has no time to dawdle.. It is time for him to prepare for his fight against, Big Kan.
