The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episodes 135. Tests in the Bairawa Swamp bg. 3

Back to the Dimensional Gap in the Bairawa Swamp. Gofan finally finished recuperating. He tried to re-step his legs, continuing his steps towards the end of the Seven Color Lotus Pool.

‘The more I force myself the more pain I feel. Why do I feel like this event is similar to back then?.’

*Cepluk* Rainbow colored water rippled as Gofan continued his footsteps.

‘True.. Empty is unbiased, unbiased is empty.. Sincerity. I finally understood and let go of all the burdens, not forcing myself but emptying my mind, so that my mind was filled with various knowledge and solutions. I started to be able to see from various points of view, if not for that, I would have focused only on my failure.’.

*Cepluk*Gofan stop.

As his steps reached 513 steps, Gofan stopped. He stood still while looking around the pool.

Gofan looked at all the lotus flowers in the pond. All of those lotus flowers bloomed beautifully. Rainbow colors decorate the petals of each lotus flower. Even after taking a closer look, Gofan realized that each stalk of the lotus flower was slightly golden in color.

*Cepluk* While enduring the pain, Gofan stepped towards one of the lotus flowers.

*Tek*Gofan picked one of the lotus flowers.

‘This flower? The stalk is very hard, it looks more like a branch of a tree... Why is there no root? Looks like there's something inside this pool’ Inner Gofan.

*Byuur*Gofan gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, as he stuffed his head into the pool.

‘This!?’

Gofan saw that his legs were not resting on anything. He's been walking floating all this time. The Seven Color Lotus Pool looked extremely deep, not looking the slightest bit at the bottom of the pond.

‘Simply there are no roots. These lotus flowers really branch a tree’.

In front of Gofan's eyes was clearly visible the remaining stalk of the lotus flower that he had previously picked, it turned out to be a branch of a tree. There was a huge golden tree right under Gofan's feet floating.

*Tep*Gofan who is still soaking his head trying to stomp his feet.

‘There was no footing at all but when I hit the foot, it was very similar to the ground floor surface. Whatisthis? Space formation?’

Gofan formed a hand seal as he tried to create a space gap where his feet rested.

*Blazh*A space gap was formed when Gofan fell deeper into the Seven Color Lotus Pool through the layer where his feet rested.

‘This? There is no pain at all.. After I passed through the layer of the beach place earlier, now I do not feel the pain anymore’ Gofan swam so that he did not fall deeper.

Gofan swam closer towards the golden trunk of the rainbow-colored lotus tree.

‘What is this tree? Why is it so strange?’ Gofan attached his right palm to the golden trunk of the lotus tree.

*Triing*

Gofan's consciousness was accidentally pulled into the golden trunk of the lotus tree.

“This!? Where's this?” Gofan looked at the surroundings and only saw an endless stretch of white land.

Gofan had not yet realized that his consciousness was being pulled into the golden trunk of the tree. He walked through the white land but there was no end to it that he could meet, as if the white land was infinite.

All the objects that grew on the white land, also white, even the stones, sky and small animals that look also white.

Unaware of Gofan, the longer he traversed the white land the more his memories disappeared.

“I think I passed this place..” Gofan looks confused.

He took out three white stones and piled them up to mark that he had already been in that place. After that, Gofan went back on a trip.

“True. Turns out I was just circling around in this place.” After walking for almost a hundred steps Gofan returned again to the place he had marked.

Gofan walked over to the young man dressed in all white.

“Excuse me Sir. Can I ask? Where is this?” Gofan stopped the young man's elephant.

The young man looked towards Gofan, he did not reply and only smiled. His hand waved a sign as if asking Gofan to follow him.

‘It seems he wants me to follow him’ Gofan walks slowly behind the young man riding the White Elephant. Gofan followed them.

After hundreds of steps, Gofan was surprised to find a white mansion appearing in the place he had been surrounded. There should be no house there.

Then something even stranger was seen by Gofan. When the young man and his face stopped in front of the house. The young man got off the back of the White Elephant and walked away to a cage that was behind the house. While the White Elephant Ridden by the young man shrank and entered the luxurious house.

‘Why reverse? Human enter the cage, animal enter the house.’ When Gofan was silent for a moment saw the strangeness.

“Dewa Protector.” Gofan read the inscription above the entrance of the house. Because the color was also white, Gofan was barely aware of the writing.

Moments later, Gofan decides to meet the young man. Gofan went to the back of the house, he approached the young man who was now in the cage.

“Master. What are you doing, can you tell me where this is?.” Gofan asked from behind the cage door.

The young man stood silently staring at Gofan while pointing towards the white mansion.

“Log in to the house? Sir told me to come in?.”

The young man nodded as he answered Gofan's question. Gofan went into the house.

*Jreng Jeng Jeng*

*Dum And Dum*

The sounds of melodious singing and dancing greeted Gofan as he arrived inside the house.

Unlike outside the quiet house, inside the house is so crowded and feels so lively. Not like outside the house, everything is white, but inside the house everything is colorful. There were a lot of people inside the house, they were so friendly to welcome Gofan.

Gofan looked around and tried to find the White Elephant who had previously entered. After walking for a while, Gofan saw the White Elephant who had shrunk to the size of the children walking into a room. Gofan followed him.

Upon arriving in the room, Gofan did not find the White Elephant. He only saw an elephant-headed little boy and carrying Gada sitting on a chair.

Gofan was surprised for a moment when he saw the little boy's head, could it be the elephant he had just followed, that was his mind.

The little boy turned to Gofan and said, “It looks like Goli is long gone... You're lucky enough to wear the body. Now your name is Gofan, isn't it?”

Gofan was silent and scratching his head, he did not understand what the little boy was saying. The memory of Goli had been erased as he traced the path of the white land.

“Who's Goli? Gofan? I'm Lenfan.” Gofan replied after a long silence.

“Let's sit. Drink this tea first, it seems the weather outside has erased some of your memory.” The little boy pointed a chair at Gofan.

Gofan sat down and drank the tea that the little elephant-headed boy served.

“How? Do you remember who Goli is and who Lenfan is?.” Said the little boy shortly after Gofan dipped the tea inside his cup.

Gofan had not answered, both of his eardrums buzzed and one by one his memories recovered.
