The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episodes 194. The ruler of the Sky Demon Forest?

The loud voice of the old lady spread out from within the Mountain and made a Shrine at the top of the Mountain emit a bright purple light. A purple light with an ancient feel formed a huge towering tube piercing into the Violet Sky. The temple looked so ancient with three inscriptions inscribed on the main door of the Temple, inscribed the Seasonal Profound Sect, the only sect in the Little Heavenly Land.

The three middle-aged men sitting in meditation inside the Temple immediately opened their eyes. They stood up and clenched their hands together and bowed respectfully. Without saying a word the three darted out of the Shrine and began to spread out in three different directions.

[First Sky Demon Forest Little Heavenly Land]

It wasn't difficult for Gofan to find the location of the Sky Demon Forest, with Haiwa's hint, he was quickly able to find the location of that Forest.

That was because the Sky Demon Forest was so easily recognizable, among all the strange forests that Gofan had seen, the Sky Demon Forest was one of the strangest things. The forest was completely Black, no matter what the ground was, its stones, trees and plants, all black, even some Styx also looked black similar to that forest, it is difficult to distinguish them from the forest itself.

Gofan had already arrived almost a week ago, during that week, he flew without the Sky Ship and wandered deeper and deeper into the forest. There were no other Cultivators other than the Styx and the Sky Beasts roaming the forest, looking like the forest was their special habitat. The Little Gods were even seen to shy away from setting foot into the forest, like something was scaring them.

There were no obstacles that occurred during Gofan's journey from the Gate to the entrance to the forest, it was because the Sky Demon Forest was located very close to the First Sky Gate, it was like the outskirts of the Little Heavenly Land. Exclusion from the cultivation world of the Little Gods. It made Gofan breathe a sigh of relief, at least there would be no chasing related matters outside the Sky Gate.

“Me..” Gofan muttered, with his Mental Saint he scanned the area around the forest looking for a place he could stay. Right now, he found an empty cave within the forest. Gofan came down and darted into the cave.

“There shouldn't be anything dangerous in here, but why do I feel, this cave has been specially made?.. Did anyone intentionally make it for a place to stay and happened to be away?.” Gofan fumbled and looked around the cave.

The cave was dark, plus everything in the majority forest was black, making Gofan's visibility limited. He activated Demonic Eyes, although not as strong as he used to be while still being supported by Mental Stone Energy, it was still strong enough to help him see clearly.

As he continued walking into the cave, Gofan shook his head, considering that all of his Heaven Energy was gone, “But it doesn't matter, in this Great Realm, it's, the only Energy that can be trained is Heaven Energy and it is very abundant here.” Gofan said consoling himself.

In the Little Realm, in order to train cultivation, he would have to absorb Heaven and Earth Energy, then on top of that there were other Energies mentioned that could be cultivated above the Holy Saint realm. After being in the Great Realm, Gofan could guess that the other energy was probably Heaven Energy, although in the Little Realm it was called by a different name.

After several tens of steps Gofan turned around and decided to sit outside, in front of the mouth of the cave, he cross-legged and closed his eyes, starting to cultivate the Nine Heavens Book of Heaven, he began to cultivate the Nine Heavens Book, “If I was still in the Continent of the world, maybe every day my life would be hunted for this book...”.

Crossed in front of the cave, Gofan slowly absorbed the Heaven Energy surrounding him. A vortex of golden light formed above his head. The vortex was small and absorbed Heaven Energy very slowly, it turned out that with his current cultivation level, it was difficult for him to bind and absorb the surrounding Heaven Energy.

“Perhaps if I manage to reach Saint God, this absorption will take place faster Gofan took a slow breath, this “Energy of Heaven is so dirty, it is not as pure as the Heaven Energy from the Philosopher's Stone and Heaven's Stone... It is more like Solar and Moon Energy.”

After absorbing several strands of Heaven Energy, Gofan concluded that the Heaven Energy in the First Sky Realm was actually the Energy released by the Sun and Moon, not the pure Energy of Heaven. That Sun and Moon energy was extremely abundant in the Violet Heavens and filled the entire Little Heavenly Land. Gofan could guess, that the closer to the sky the more abundant the Energy available.

Time keeps passing. Days change weeks and weeks change months. After two months in the cultivation position, Gofan's body trembled. He had finally reached the late stage Human God realm and it was a peak boundary where he could at any time begin preparations to break through to the Saint God realm.

“I deliberately cultivated here, waiting for the cave owner to come. But it seems, this cave has indeed been abandoned.” Gofan got up from his place, he checked the area around with Saint Mental, “Why do I feel something is wrong... This is!?? Ring Lens..” When he examined her body, the Dimensional Ring he was wearing had apparently disappeared.

“IMPOSSIBLE!!.” Gofan roared furiously, someone must have robbed him, but somehow he and Haiwa didn't know when it happened.

Gofan scanned the surrounding area once again, then twice, then three times, and all the results were the same. There was no one else around, just him.

*Zyuut*Gofan flew over and began exerting all of his Mental Saints to activate the Divine Eye.

BLAZH!! A bright light emanated from Gofan's forehead, as an eye appeared between his two eyebrows. The eyes were completely white and emitted a golden light. With the Human God cultivation base, he had a chance of several tens of breaths to activate the power of the Divine Eye.

Gofan flew around above the cave, scanning the area below with his Divine Eye.

“What creature is it?!!.” Thanks to the Divine Eye, Gofan saw several Styx tails in strange shapes coming out of the cave. If not with the Divine Eye, no one would be able to see that strange Styx herd. Their camouflage ability was exactly the same as the camouflage ability Bianselong had.

The styx is shaped like a gelatinous bubble of liquid but is solid and chewy. They come in different colors and sizes and shapes, but basically, they are round with four short legs.

Gofan explained what he saw to Haiwa and asked about the Styx. As Haiwa heard, she was panting, she suddenly remembered something, “They are the rulers of the Sky Demon Forest.. They're called 'Slime'. They were separated from the 12 Styx Tribes residing in this forest, but every Chieftain would definitely not dare to deal with this Slime herd.”

Gofan already knew about the inhabitants of the Sky Demon Forest. He had already seen the 12 Styx Tribes living in the 12 special regions of the Sky Demon Forest. The 12 tribes, each of them had a large purple stone monument with a certain celestial beast statue at the top of the monument.

Each Tribe will do worship to the monument to get a breakthrough on their cultivation. They act very protective on their monuments and territory. But only this area of the cave did not dare to enter, this was like the 13th special area.

On the back side of the cave, there was also a stone monument but it was not too big, it was only the size of three times that of an ordinary human body and there was no statue of any celestial beast at the top of the monument. Occasionally there would be a Chieftain who came and gave a deity, but Gofan never expected, that the empty cave turned out to be the home of the Heavenly Demon Forest Lord.

“Satisfaction of the Sky Demon Forest? Not wrong?!.” In Gofan's eyes the Slime herd looks more cute than creepy. How could such a weak-looking creature be the master of the 12 wild Styx Tribes?

A bright blue-colored Slime seemed to be aware of the gaze of Gofan's Divine Eyes, he turned around and stared intently at Gofan. A moment later the bright blue Slime stuck out its tongue and showed that the Dimensional Ring was on him.

“It?! Restore Ring!!.” Shouted Gofan, he swooped and descended down towards Slime who was showing off the Dimensional Ring.

Eeee?? But suddenly Gofan stopped in his tracks, his eyes widened to see that Slime had suddenly changed into him. Very similar and identical. The slime now had a body as big as an Elephant and a scaly Tail like a Dragon.

“No Possibility!.” Not only were their physiques the same, Gofan could sense that the Slime also had a similar cultivation base to it.

Gofan's shock didn't end there, as he got closer. The slime created a golden staff and the staff looked exactly like Haiwa, just like the Twin Dragon Golden Wand.

Haiwa came out of Gofan's ears and was as surprised as Gofan. Now there is someone who is very similar to them, “This is why other Styx Tribes do not dare to disturb the Slime..” Mumbled Haiwa from inside the stick, “They can be anyone and anything, especially they can't be killed.”

Seriate...
