The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episodes 138. The Effect of Rainbow Poison Lotus Pills

Gofan shook his head slowly. He found it funny, at such a time, he actually recalled Shiyuxin who had transferred her Master to the Black Scorpion Desert and worried about the fate of the girl in the desert.

***

[Steel of Black Scorpions]

Shortly after being moved by Vasudev to the Black Scorpion Desert, Shiyuxin and Shijie swore loudly. The father and son were really bullied by Gofan and his new Master.

“Dad! I want to go to Fire Island.” Shiyuxin said as she climbed onto the back of a large bald-headed bird.

Shijie had just released his pet Beast, a bird the size of five times an adult man with a hairless head. Shijie's pet beast, often referred to as the Head of the Hump. Shijie gave him the name Tutou.

“If you leave it could be, but if you want to join the tournament, it may be too late to register.” Sahut Shijie after helping her daughter up to Tutou's back.

“No need. I didn't go to Fire Island to take part in that stupid tournament. I just want to find my husband!.”

“The Witch's Speech Space and Time has a point... His student was too young, he was only 13 years old... Your age is so far adrift.” Shijie patted Tutou's neck gently after he climbed onto the bald bird's back.

*Kroaak*The bald crow flew across the hot desert after being patted by Shijie by his neck.

“Dad.. I don't give a shit... Remember that! If I don't marry her then Mother's reincarnation vows will be in vain.”

“Aiya... You are...” Shijie let out a long breath. He was unable to continue the debate with his stubborn daughter.

“I don't care, want him younger or older, as long as he can give me a child, that's enough!” Shiyuxin.

Shijie shook her head slowly as the wind blew against her face, “Crazy! How can you say that! You have to get the best, not a 13-year-old boy like that... Even if you're married, you'll have to wait another five years until she's ready to give you a child.”

“Not a problem... Mom already said that the one who wins the match is the one who should be her father... And he is Gofan!.” Shiyuxin said as she held tightly to the veil on her face that was almost blown away in the wind.

“Good. Good. Dad knew.. Now we go back first to college, after that we will follow them to Fire Island.”

“Hihi... Thank you Dad!.” Shiyuxin's coquettish laughter ended the debate as she hugged the back of her Father who sighed softly in defeat arguing with her.

*croaac*

*croaac*

Tutou continued to flap his wings. That Thunder-Headed Crow continued to air usher his Master back to Ghost City.

Tutou flew high across a ship that was sailing towards the island of Mermaid.

[East Sea-Ship of Tunjung Putih College]

“Wah.. Look at that bird!!... A very large bird.” Remarkably amazed a student of White Tunjung College on a speeding sea ship.

The three disciples who were nearby turned their heads up, towards the large bird that was speeding up on their boat.

“It seems that the one driving it is not a random person, such a bird is difficult to control!.” Another student.

“Of course.. Oi... Do you guys know?... The Blue Yin School also had a pet sea monster that was twice the size of this ship. But strangely, for some reason, they actually want to hitch a ride on our college ship?”

“Don't-don't the monster is dead.”

“Or maybe, they want to seduce one of us... Were not their female disciples beautiful-beautiful and all this time they had only a few male disciples.”

“Haha... Is correct.. Must be because of that. I'm so impatient to get acquainted with one of the students of Blue Yin College.”

“Haha.. Think first... Is your face handsome enough to get one of them? Don't you always get rejected by Fieyun's sister.”.

“Hahaha... Hahaha.”.

The chatter of the disciples continued to roll as their crisp laughter rang out into the room where Duan Tianlang was sitting conversing with Wuling, Kangkai, Lujiang and Suezilu.

“What is this!? What does this mean?.” Shouted Wuling as both of his hands trembled after hearing the words Duan Tianlang said.

Almost the cup of tea he held fell to the floor. Wuling was shocked to hear the news that she had never imagined.

“This is true Wuling, you are not the son of my nephew.. Vasudev found you in the river and left you to me. For your own good, I made you my nephew's son who died with her husband.” Duan Tianlang stared worriedly at Wuling, he had already guessed, what he said would make Wuling surprised.

For more than 20 years, Wuling had considered himself the Young Master of the White Arbor College Elder. Wuling even quelled the bandits who allegedly killed his parents who he thought were his biological parents.

Wuling silent. His mouth was gaping and his eyes seemed to be swirling like an anxious person. His heart skipped a beat, he never expected, that there was such a secret about him.

“Vasudev also does not know who your parents are, but he found this, when he found you in the stream.” Duan Tianlang gave a wooden token that read the word 'Wu'.

Wuling was silent. He only glanced towards the wooden token that already looked weathered.

“The situation is now uncertain, The Heir Young Master went to cooperate with Lixiayo, we don't know what will happen later on Fire Island, he said, just in case we have to tell you about all these realities.” Imbuh Kangkai who was sitting next to Duan Tianlang.

“Whatever the reality is, right now, you are still the Young Master of White Tunjung College, regarding your biological parents, you can find out later.. We are family.” Suezilu said as she patted Wuling's shoulder gently.

Although not too close to Wuling, Suezilu had always considered him the Young Master of White Arbor College, even after he had known about Wuling's true identity decades before.

Wuling's eyes looked red, not from wanting to cry but from being angry from feeling lied to. Had there not been such an event at this time, perhaps he would never have known the reality of its origin.

After a long sigh, Wuling stood up, grabbed the wooden token and bowed slowly before leaving the room.

“Wul...”.

“Have let it go! Let him calm down. He has to cope with this himself.” Sela Duan Tianlang as Kangkai got up was about to catch up with Wuling.

Kangkai nodded and sat back to his seat. He felt pity for Wuling's fate. How could his biological parents throw him into the river when it was that small, thought Kangkai.

Suezilu only shook his head slowly as he sipped the tea that had started to cool inside the cup that was in his hand.

Lujiang, throughout the conversation it could only be quiet. He was a stranger that Gofan had brought in as a servant, but Gofan had just left because of Shiyuxin's arrival. It made Lujiang unable to comment anything on the secret he had just heard.

For the sake of the promise of black on white, Lujiang decided to follow the White Tunjung College entourage, going to meet Gofan on Fire Island.

While Duan Tianlang, after the conversation was just staring far out the window. He was thinking what would happen later in the Island Tournament.

Thanks to the notice from Mouhuli, Duan Tianlang finally found out about Gofan and Lixiayo's cooperation plan.

From Mouhuli as well, Duan Tianlang finally became aware of Gofan's departure to the Bairawa Swamp to obtain the Divine Eye.

Inwardly, Duan Tianlang hoped Gofan would succeed in obtaining the Divine Eye.

***

[Dimension Slit in Bairawa Swamp]

Gofan still fervently read the book that his father had studied. He kept flipping through it page by page.

“It.. Footprints Sweeping in the Wind? It turns out that Father also slipped some of the techniques of his creation in this book. Even Dad wrote it down in great detail..”.

“Hopefully Shiyuxin and her Father have not learned these moves.” Gofan murmured as his hands and feet twitched following the directions stated in the Book of the Black Cloud King.

The Book of the Black Cloud King was actually a book of inner energy processors, the Intellectual Energy. The book should not list any special moves, only the Cultivation technique of the Essence Energy. But apparently, in the book contains several styles related to the processing of Mental Energy. Even Lenhao's own creations are also included in the book.

“Good. Let's get started!” Gofan enthusiastically took a sitting position cross-legged.

Both of his hands formed a seal. Gofan absorbed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy and turned it into a strand of Intisarian Energy.

Gofan turned the newly absorbed strand of Intisarian Energy into Mental Energy. Gofan retrained his Demon King Science that had disappeared shortly after he swallowed the Rainbow Poison Lotus Pill.

This time, in his mind, Gofan planned to use the Mental Energy from the power of the Demonic Eye to study the moves listed in the Black Cloud King Book.

Of the seven levels of Demon King Science, Gofan had finally broken through to the first level, the level of Earth's Saripati within 40 breaths.

After 200 breaths later, Gofan managed to raise his Demon King Science all the way to the second level, the level of Mental Awareness.

But after reaching the level of Mental Awareness, Gofan felt that there was a thin wall that prevented him from advancing. The blood flowing in his body was like fighting back, as he was about to raise the power of the Demonic Eye to the third level, the Pure Mental level.

Gofan realized the Rainbow Poison Lotus Pill had fused with the blood within his body. The moment he swallowed the Pill, his Mental Energy instantly disappeared being annihilated by the influence of the Rainbow Poison Lotus Pill that had distilled his blood. Even gradually, the influence of the Rainbow Poison Lotus Pill permeated into his flesh and bones.

But what Gofan did not think was that the Pill would make him unable to cultivate the Demon King Science to the third level and so on. There was a rejection from his body as he forced to increase the power of the Demonic Eye to the Pure Mental level.

Gofan kept trying to fight the rejection that was happening inside his body. The greater the strength of his Demonic Eye, the stronger the rejection from his body.

“Uhk!..” Gofan spewed out a mouthful of blood.

Gofan opened both of his eyes as his hands removed the seal and held onto his agonized chest. Rejection from his body and his coercion in increasing the power of the Devil's Eye left Gofan with an internal organ injury.

‘If it wasn't for the Eternal Bone Body Science and half the True Dragon Body, maybe I would have been paralyzed... Uhk..’ Gofan's mind as another plume of blood came back out of his mouth.

Gofan stared at the blood he had just vomited. The lump of blood he spewed out a second time was not red, but bluish green.

‘Poisons? All this time there was poison in my body? Who poisoned me?’

Realizing that the bluish-green blood clot was poison, Gofan wondered when and who had poisoned it.

Gofan then re-formed the hand seal, his consciousness venturing into his body. Gofan observed where the poison had previously been hiding.

‘Otak!? Is this mind-control poison? How can?’

Moments after exploring his body, Gofan found traces of the remaining poison stuck in part of his small brain. The venom blends perfectly in every tissue of Gofan's brain.

As an indirect disciple of Lenchan, Gofan once read about a poison that fused with the nerves of the brain. Such poisons are referred to as Mind-Controlling Poisons.

Therefore, Gofan realized, thanks to the Rainbow Poison Lotus Pill, he had indirectly been freed from the hidden poison that had been inside his body, inside his brain.

One thing that became a question in Gofan's mind after discovering all the remaining toxins was when and who poisoned him, who intended to control him.

Not finding the answer, Gofan was finally only able to let out a slow sigh as he re-cultivated his Energy. This time, Gofan was intending to clear all the remaining Mind-Controlling Poison Sect left in his brain.

After that, three more times, a bluish-green blood clot came out from Gofan's mouth. All the rest of the Mind-Controlling Poison had him expel.

Relieved that he was now immune from any kind of poison, Gofan did not regret swallowing the Rainbow Poison Lotus Pill. Although the pill made him unable to further cultivate the Demon King Science.

‘Sweetest... The power of the Demonic Eye that I learned from the beginning must stop at the second level’ Shaking his head slowly, Gofan decided to get up on his feet.

Although his Mental Energy was not as strong as before. However, Gofan felt that it was enough to help him try to apply his father's Dark Dome.

“Devil”'s eyes

Gofan formed a hand seal as his Mental Energy covered an area of two to three steps around his body.

Gofan then combined the power of his Devil Eye with the Dark Cloud Force listed in the Book of the Black Cloud King.

“Dark”'s Women

The merger made Gofan's Mental Energy turn into black smoke, which after he developed again managed to turn the smoke into a denser until it became a black dome.

“Dome of Darkness”

A pitch-black dome now enveloped Gofan's body two to three feet around him.

The application of the Dark Dome version of Gofan is slightly different from the version that his father did. All of that was because they studied the cultivation of different Mental Energy.

‘It's still less big... This dome has not yet reached the Divine Eye’

After thinking so, Gofan mustered all of his Mental Energy and turned it into the Dark Dome.

*Blazh*That pitch-black dome is getting bigger.

After its dome of darkness covers the Divine Eye. Gofan stopped enlarging the size of the dome and stepped up to take the Divine Eye. When the Divine Eye was within reach of the Dark Dome, Gofan easily picked up the glowing eyeball.

‘If I could fly... I no longer need to fear falling from such heights’ Inner Gofan as he grasped the radiant Divine Eye in his right hand.

Seriate...
