The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episodes 137. Divine Eyes

The call of the Giant was still heard twice after that, but Gofan was still preoccupied with releasing the golden seal. He did not answer the call of the Giant.

Four breaths later, Gofan decided to ponder over the words written inside the golden seal. 'Eternal Souls During the Roots of Survival, Souls Locked Within Without Borders' those words were repeatedly thought of by Gofan in his mind. Closing his eyes, he looked for the meaning of those words.

‘True also, is not it clear, as long as the roots are still intact then this seal is also so.’ Finally Gofan understood the meaning of the words in the seal.

The word 'Eternal Soul As long as Root survives' makes Gofan realize that the weakness of the seal is in the tree roots that are affixed to the seal. If he were to break the root, then even the golden seal would be destroyed by itself, that was how he thought.

*Triung* Qianlong Sword unsheathed.

‘Liberating Freedom 96 Steps!!’ Shouted Gofan from within the heart as he launched an attack towards the roots of the Rainbow Poison Lotus Tree.

*zyaat*

*crash*

Smile on Gofan's face. He managed to cut off the roots attached to the golden seal.

Not long after, the golden seal came loose and disappeared into golden grains of light.

A few breaths later. A white light shot out from within the trunk of the Rainbow Poison Lotus Tree.

“Gofan! Thank you.” Tian Baixiang's soul came out from the golden trunk of the Rainbow Poison Lotus Tree.

The tree shook slowly then, turning into a gleaming yellow golden light as Tian Baixiang performed a hand seal.

Tian Baixiang extracted the Rainbow Poison Lotus Tree with the rest of the soul power he possessed.

“Receive this, this is the extraction of the Rainbow Poison Lotus Tree, Rainbow Poison Lotus Pill.” A golden-yellow pill emerged from the yellow-golden light that was now at Tian Baixiang's fingertips.

Gofan's eyes twirled, he was worried about his fate, if he swallowed the pill. After all he was a half demon.

“You will only become a whole human after swallowing this pill. The power of the Demon Eye will not be destroyed, it's just that you your ability will decrease slightly, maybe you just need to repeat it.”

Gofan was surprised, Tian Baixiang had found out about the Demon Eyes that were inside him. Gofan was still silent, his hand hesitating to accept the pill.

When Gofan hesitated, the Giant was also surprised. He saw a golden yellow light radiating from within the pond as all the rainbow-colored lotus flowers disappeared instantly.

The Giant, again shouted to Gofan and asked what Gofan did to remove all the lotus flowers in the test pond.

“But Gods.. Me...”

“No need to hesitate anymore, hurry up! Although you have to repeat mastering the Demon King Science, you benefit from a body immune to toxins and anti-stealth. Hurry up!” Tian Baixiang threw the golden pill towards Gofan, as he interrupted Gofan's remark

*Bluup Bluup*

Gofan received the pill, for a moment he watched doubtfully. It was a pity, he had to rework the Demon King Science in his mind.

In the end, after gazing towards Tian Baixianhg, Gofan swallowed the pill.

“Although in the end you will wipe the blood of my descendants with the blood of the Dragon God, I do not regret it, it's just that I hope that you will retain that blood and continue my bloodline.” Tian Baixiang said as a white light flashed from all over his soul.

*Blazh*White rays of light shine brightly.

A white ivory fracture was seen falling out from the white light beam, where Tian Baixing disappeared. Gofan took the white tusks and put them into the Dimension Ring.

Thirty breaths after that Gofan came out at the end of the Pool.

“I don't know, what you did in there for so long, even you removed all the poison and lotus flowers in this pond... But Congratulations! You have passed the second test.. Next, prepare!.” Said the Giant without asking about the incident that Gofan experienced in the Seven Color Lotus Pool.

“Keep walking straight, ahead there will be the Divine Eye, or else you take it depending on yourself!.” Imbuh the Giant as his voice slowly disappeared.

Following the direction of the Giant, Gofan continued his steps walking straight ahead.

Fifty steps after, Gofan saw a glowing eyeball hovering more than twelve feet above a steep cliff.

The eyeball glanced at Gofan, as Gofan walked closer and closer to the edge of the steep cliff.

Gofan folded his hands together as he thought of a way to grab those eyeballs. If only he could fly, that was the only thing that came to his mind from the beginning.

Indeed, with the combination of the Eye of Heaven and the Eye of Satan, Gofan could have floated and grabbed the eyeball. But other than having lost the power of the Heaven's Eye, Gofan had also not been able to control the fusion of the two powers. Right now, he just sighed softly while staring at those eyeballs.

“Hei.. Giant sir, may I ask?” Shouted Gofan.

“My name is Bairawa, don't call me Master again.. Say, what do you want to ask!.” The voice of the Giant answered Gofan's cry. It turns out that the Giant who had been testing Gofan named Bairawa, exactly the same as the name of the Swamp.

Gofan nodded and continued asking, “Bairawa... Is this eyeball above me the Divine Eye?”

“Of course. If not, then what else? Hurry on! take and complete this exam..” Bairawa's voice was a little sniffy.

Gofan had actually guessed, that the glowing eyeball was the Divine Eye, but because to reach it the possibility of Gofan would fall into the ravine at the end of the cliff, Gofan wanted to make sure that the eyeballs were true Divine Eyes.

Gofan was silent for a moment, he took out Gongzhu's Shawl and planned to use the shawl to catch the Divine Eye hovering above his head.

*zyaat*

*zyaat*

Fail!, so it was implied in Gofan's mind when he repeatedly failed to catch the glowing eyeball. Gofan saved Gongzhu's shawl and tried to jump.

Although Gofan jumped, his foot leap was not as high as where the Divine Eye floated. Gofan still failed.

Gofan's right hand touched his chin, as sweat began to drip down his forehead. He thought of the next step he had to take, in order to take the Divine Eye.

Gofan decided to sit down cross-legged. He closed his eyes and caught his breath. He emptied his mind in order to find the right solution to retrieve the glowing eyeball.

Dozens of breaths later, Gofan opened his eyes and rose to his feet. He took out the Book of the Black Cloud King from within the Shiyuxin Dimensional Ring.

“I remember... I once made a black dome with the style of this book. I'm sure, with that dome, I don't have to fear falling into the abyss.” Gofan opened the Book of the Black Cloud King and began to study it.

One hand folds behind his back, the other hand holds the book. Gofan walked around in circles while reading his father's book.

Occasionally flashes of memory about his father crossed his mind. Even Shiyuxin's expression also flashed back then,‘Why am I so thinking about that ghost girl? Haha... But how is it now?’

Seriate...
