Chapter 547: The Demon Of The Dark Omen Valley (2)

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao has entered an unknown place where there is a sea of bamboo trees that can be seen. He didn't know if he is inside a dimension of another world, but from the looks of it, the place does not contain all the elements which only means that this place is either an artificial land, or he is inside someone's small world.

If it is the latter, then he might be trapped in this place for a long time if that person has a bad intension. He knew that because his ring has the same ability. He also controls a small world of his own.

However, Shin Jiao didn't know why but he felt calm in his heart. He trusted the old man called the Hermit, so he took out a book from his ring. This book is the same technique manual that he received from the Blood Moon Sect patriarch. It is a powerful technique according to the patriarch that can make him almost invincible in battle.

"I guess the only way for me to find a clue is through learning this thing. I hope it would not be too late…" he muttered as he began reading the book.

'The essence of blood and fighting…'

Shin Jiao's eyes went wide in disbelief upon hearing the words inside his mind. But it seems that those words are not the same as those written on the page. He didn't know why, but he continues reading. But the same thing happened. What he hears and what he reads are completely not the same. But he didn't mind because his interest is already piqued.

'Before this world was created there is a long war that is being fought in the shadows, and due to that war, the demons were pushed to the edge and was at a disadvantage. And so they began to create a technique that would make them invincible throughout the heavens. And that technique is the Essence Syphon…'

"Essence Syphon? I thought it was called…" Shin Jiao suddenly heard something different.

Then he remembers what the sect master of the Blood Moon Sect told him. It seems that the technique he practiced from the book is incomplete and no matter how hard he tries it could not be completed. Now he knows why.

As he continues reading, he learned that the Essence Syphon does not only absorb the blood of the fighter's enemy but their true essence instead.

Then suddenly as he continues reading, he learned of a dark truth. This book which was used by the demons does not actually originate from them. It is not the darkness that created such a technique, but the light.

An unknown deity was once fighting a hopeless war to protect the planet he is in task to protect from the shadows. In his desperate struggle, he began creating this fighting technique. After thousands of years of struggle, he has perfected the technique, but it was too late.

His divine Qi and consciousness are already corrupted by the essence of the shadow beings. Hence his mind became warped as it consumed him. The deity became berserk and fought against other deities. Many died in that war, both deities and demons.

Those who survive sealed the immortal soul of the deity. They didn't dare absorb or disperse the essence and memory within his soul as they fear the shadow of corruption within it.

This is because none of them learned about the book that the deity wrote. They all thought the book is the source of this evil and also tried to destroy it. But then a shadow being suddenly stolen it. And from then on the demons began using such a technique to fight against the deities.

This gave the heavens too much trouble and swore that they would find the book and destroy it.

And so a great war in the heavens once again erupted between the deities trying to preserve the planets, and the shadow beings trying to corrupt and destroy it for their amusement. And in that great battle, the book was lost until today.

When Shin Jiao read up to this part, he soon discovers that the book is actually sentient.

It has a will on its own and is just hiding.

"So this is what you wanted me to learn?" Shin Jiao asked.

But the book didn't respond.

"Hmm…" suddenly an idea enters his mind and kept the book inside his ring.

"So can you tell me who you are now?" he asked.

The book suddenly floated from inside the ring and tried to sense its surroundings.

"Don't worry, this is a small world inside my ring. In this place, I am the one in control." Shin Jiao said with confidence.

'Hmm… a very interesting mortal… I have not chosen wrongly. You are the person I've been waiting for. It's been thousands of years since I talked to someone.' A deep man's voice suddenly said.

"So, can you tell me who you are?" Shin Jiao asked.

'Haha… before that… I must ask… how much have you learned from what I have said to you?'

Shin Jiao was a bit surprised but a smile appears on his face.

Meanwhile, from somewhere inside the valley, an old man is currently sitting cross-legged while absorbing the chaotic and poisonous miasma in the air.

While he is doing this, the beast tide didn't even dare to bother him or go his direction. They would part like a stream of water hitting a huge boulder.

The old man suddenly turns to a certain direction in the valley.

"It's only a matter of days now… if I am not wrong, then that young man can set me free at last." He muttered as a simple smile crept on his face.

Then his eyes closed and carefully watch at the young person sitting inside his small world. That's right; the place where Shin Jiao is right now is inside the man's small world in his dantian. He did this to protect the young man from the prying eyes of that demon which has also corrupted him for many years.

The old hermit knew of the secret in the book, but he didn't know how to activate it. But if his conjecture is right, then that young fellow will be able to open up its secret. If that is right, then he would not hold back and borrow such power to once again be freed from this imprisonment.

Although his memory is not complete, the old man still remembers a lot of things. Things he has done when he was once… a god… or a shadow being.

His soul is incomplete and the evil inside of him has consumed a lot of his powers from then on. The only good part of himself is this old man, who is trying to change the evil he has done. That's right, he is the deity who wrote that book, but that part of his memory is already consumed by the shadows inside his body.

And when his immortal soul was trapped in this world, he took this chance to escape. However, for an unknown twist of fate, the book actually landed in this world, as if trying to follow its true owner after it escaped the shadow beings and their demon army.

"Sigh… I only wanted to save the planet that I was born from… I never intended this to happen. If they gave me another chance in heaven, then I would want to enter a planet called earth. In there most of the souls are just mortals…" the old man thought as a longing smile crept on his face.

'Haha… do you think they would forgive you? The heavenly armies would crush you until all of your soul memories would be gone… however, if you join me now, we can reign supreme in the heavens and none could stop us.' A voice suddenly enters the old man's mind.

"Haha… You've been saying that ever since we came to this world…"

'Yes, because that is the truth…'

"The truth? A shadow being is telling the truth… you and your demon armies have destroyed millions of worlds. And you want me to believe you… Haha…"

'We did nothing to destroy those worlds. We just wanted those souls to be true to themselves. They are the ones who destroy their own world… greed, power, and lies… that is the true nature that every soul possesses… Hehe…'

"Ahhh… the rambling of a shadow being. I know that even in the immortal plane, your kind also exists."

'Wait! Are you going to talk about that again? It's been thousands of years and I am fed up with that story of yours.'

"Well, that my friend is the truth…"

'You want to know what the truth is… I have your whole immortal soul… and you… you're only a memory fragment and nothing else… if I can get you… then I will be complete… hehe…'

"Pfft… complete, but like thousands of years ago, you still cannot escape this planet. Haha…"

'Hihi… well, that was before… before that young lad came. This time… this time I will be able to attain a new body… a new and strong body… I know of your plans… old man. And I will not let you win. I am Legion… I am the great demon of the shadow world. I will win… Kekeke…'

"…"

The old man didn't reply as he just kept his silence.

Deep inside of him, he is already praying that the deities would help him, help him amends his own mistakes, and once again enter the cycle of reincarnation.

…

While this is happening, high up in the heavenly plane, a beautiful deity is currently watching what is happening on the planet of Gaeus Ro.

"I guess he has already paid for his mistakes, right? What do you think?" she asked the person beside her who is also watching the same scene.

"Sigh… big sister… your planet is one of the biggest planet and also the most chaotic planet in the vast universe. But I never expected that you can still smile… you truly are very calm and powerful."

"Powerful… me? No, no… I am barely able to contain this mess. I am just glad that big brother let me have that person… if not… then this planet would have long been consumed by the shadow beings."

"What did that person do?"

"It's not what he would do… but what he will do…"

"And that is?..."

"Hihi… that my little brother is your big sister's secret…"
