The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episode 233's. Is This Exam Just A Joke?

The Star Chaos Area...

As the name suggests, the Star Chaos Area is the most chaotic and dangerous area that exists within the Great Void of Nature. Not many living things could return alive after entering the Area, most of them would die or disappear without a trace.

The Star Chaos Area, formed due to the huge explosion that occurred during the War of the Gods. Until now, no one knew how to deal with the chaos area.

There are various life-threatening mysterious phenomena that often occur in the Star Chaos Area, one of the most dangerous is the random appearance of Black Holes of various sizes. That Black Hole would suck whatever appeared nearby, if it were a living thing, would either die torn apart by its suction power or disappear without a trace.

Right now, within that Chaos Area, two people were standing on top of a fragment of Star rock. It was a blind girl and a ferocious-looking man with a scar on his face. Both are observing the void, like they are looking for something.

“Lengyue. We've been waiting here for two incense sticks, but there's not a single person we can find here. Are you sure of your vision this time?” ask the man with the scar on his face.

The blind girl named Lengyue, stared blankly at the void. The empty cavities in both of his eyes were covered with a piece of white cloth. If Gofan was in the same place, he would recognize the blind girl. Of course the blind girl was Lengyue, the Deer Girl.

While the man with the scar on his face was a former King of Hell. The former Night God who now names himself Ye Wuxian.

“Master Ye. Are you still doubting my abilities after I helped you escape from Gumulryong's clutches?.” said Lengyue, a staff made from the horns of the Celestial Beast seen leading him on his way.

“Don't forget, I also helped you get away from him. If I don't help you, maybe you'll be his slave for the rest of your life.” Ye Wuxian crouched on the outskirts of the Star rock shards, “Lengyue... Are you sure, the person we will meet will be able to help us kill Gumulryong?.”

“Not him, but this person is someone who will escort us to meet the person who will kill Gumulryong.” Lengyue pointed his guide stick towards the southeast of the Star Chaos Area, “In front of us will appear Black Hole, turn this rock towards the southeast.”

Ye Wuxian rose to his feet, he formed a hand seal, then with his Energy he controlled the Star rock shards to rotate towards the direction Lengyue pointed at.

That was how the two of them could last for more than two sticks of incense within the Star Chaos Area. Repeatedly they moved to move locations if the sudden appearance of the Black Hole had been predicted Lengyue. With his future vision ability, he could tell, where and when the Black Hole would appear.

A few breaths.

“Meet... Keep going forward, we'll find it.” Lengyue said shortly after he had obtained a vision of the person he was looking for.

“Hahaha... At last... Good. Let's go!!” ye Wuxian's tone of voice sounded so relieved, like he was fed up of being in the middle of that area of chaos.

As Lengyue had expected, someone was actually in that Star Chaos Area. It was a Girl, the Girl previously chased by Li Qing and the four members of the Season Profound Alliance.

The girl was seen floating unconscious on top of a fragment of Star rock. It seemed like the girl had just been struck by countless pieces of sky rock shards, her body filled with bruises.

Lengyue and Ye Wuxian stepped closer towards the unconscious Girl. Although his eyes were blind, Lengyue's gaze was seen staring clearly at the still unconscious girl's body.

“Master Ye. Do something, otherwise, he will lose his life.” Lengyue said.

Ye Wuxian took out a medicine bottle, then she lent the medicinal liquid inside to the Girl, “Who is this Girl?” tanyakanya.

“Name Yubing. He comes from the Little Realm just like me..” *deg!!* Suddenly Lengyue acted like she saw something terrible approaching her, “Tu-Tuan Ye... Quick... We need to get out of this place. Now!!” he said with a slightly raised tone.

“Did he know where we are?”

Lengyue nodded. He looks agitated.

Seeing that, Ye Wuxian immediately carried Yubing's body with one hand. While the other hand immediately formed a hand seal and moved the Star rock fragments away as quickly as possible, away from the Star Chaos Area.

On the last floor, the Six Pillars Beast Tower.

Thanks to the Soul Core section of Gu Rong and Grandpa Jo, Gofan managed to overcome the third to fifth floors easily.

On the Third floor, he faced off against the herd of Silver Moon Wolves and Lightning Fierce Tigers. Although both types of Celestial Beasts were victorious in numbers, Gofan was able to eradicate all of the herds.

On the Fourth floor, Gofan met a herd of Silver Winged Rats and a Three Headed Cat. Having known the weakness of the Silver Winged Rat, Gofan easily overcame the Rat herd. Although he was somewhat stifled when it came to dealing with the agility of the Three Headed Cat.

On the Fifth floor, Gofan fought two Black Stone Bears. Although both were strong and large, but not strong enough to scratch Gofan's golden body.

Now he's on the last floor, on the sixth floor. Gofan was now inside a cave. The cave passage he now passed, reminded him of the sighting of the Cave he had once occupied.

“This cave... Why is this similar to the Cave where Slime lives?” gofan murmured as he went deeper into the cave. The more he ventured into the Cave, the more he felt that he was inside the Cave where the Slime lived.

At the end of the Cave, Gofan saw a young man sitting with his head lowered, on a wooden throne in the middle of the Altar with six large pillars around him.

As Gofan got closer, the young man looked up and looked towards Gofan, “Welcome to this floor.” he said while smiling kindly. There were no visible signs of danger from the young man's attitude.

Gofan stopped and stood still, not answering the Young Man's words.

“Do you want 'Who am I?'... Why don't you ask your two new friends? Looks like they've been sober.” point the young man towards Gofan. Clearly it was leading to Gu Rong and Grandpa Jo who were inside the Occult Cage.

“Come out!” said the young man while his right hand looked like it was gripping and pulling something.

*Blazh*A small winged Lizard and a Tortoise appeared out, hovering in front of Gofan.

Gofan was startled, without orders from him, Gu Rong and Grandpa Jo were forced out easily from within his Invisibility Cage. It should be only the ones with the Occult Cages who can do such a thing... Gofan mounted the horses, he was wary of the young man on the wooden throne.

“Do not worry. I will not kill them.” added the Young Man when he saw Gofan who was being vigilant, “I will only test you. If you succeed, they will be free and this Soul Totem Formation Orb can be yours.” a blue glowing orb floats above the young man's palm.

“Who is he?” whispered Gofan, asking Grandpa Jo.

“Perfangible Remaining Soul of the Gods Literature.” The little turtle floated up and landed on Gofan's right shoulder, “Don't worry. Just like he said. If you pass in his final exam, you will succeed in obtaining that Soul Orb.”

“Y... God of old bastards! Stop playing around like this... Immediately begin the sixth exam Pillar... The candidate this time will definitely win easily from those six Pillars of yours!.” shouted loudly Gu Rong in the form of his winged lizard, his tone slightly excited.

Gods of Literature laughs softly, “Brothy girls. Your mouth is still sharp as usual... Seems locked up in here, can't change your behavior... Alright... Let's start the exam..”.

“Cih... Hurry up, I can't wait to see Mo Fan tear down all six Pillars of yours.” Gu Rong muttered just before the God of Literature flicked the finger of his left hand.

*Blazh*Two slime tails with a body as big as a coconut appear near the God of Literature. One Slime is rainbow colored, while the other is bluish.

Gu Rong and Grandpa Jo looked surprised at the appearance of the two Slimes, there was a hint of fear emanating in the eyes of the two.

“Your name is Mo Fan isn't it? Your test is to fight with these two Slimes. If you win against them. I will gladly release them and hand over this Soul Orb to you.” said the God of Literature.

“Dumb old god! Basic cheater! the two Slimes were not to be defeated, clearly both of them were immune from any form of attack... You really intend to make things difficult for Mo Fan. If you really want to test him, at least let him take the exam of the Six Pillars like the previous candidates!.” Gu Rong protested. When he saw the appearance of the two Slimes, his body seemed to tremble slightly.

“Literary God... Shouldn't the test for this final stage be the test of the Six Pillars? Why are you now making it difficult for Mo Fan with the test of fighting against those two Slimes?” ask Grandpa Jo slowly.

“It's true! Didn't all the other candidates before Mo Fan only need to pass the examination of the six Pillars, but why now would Mo Fan have to fight against those two Slimes?!” gu Rong affirmed Grandpa Jo's question, his tone was higher, almost like shouting.

“Hahaha... How could I possibly test it with just the exam of the Six Pillars. He has the Ocean of Consciousness. If it was only the test of the six Pillars, he would easily win this Soul Orb... No. gabe... No. gabe... No. gabe... That must not happen.” said God of Literature.

“This Soul Orb is mine, it's up to me to test with what test... Lizard girl, Little Tortoise, you have heard these words, 'Those who succeed will succeed, Those who fail will fail'... So, this all depends on his ability.” added the God of Literature with a friendly smile on his face.

“Basic Gods cheat!!.. Do you just want to play around with all of your heir candidates? You never intend to pass down your knowledge.. Cih..” Gu Rong flapped his wings tightly before landing on Gofan's left shoulder, “Don't want to take this test, both Slime were immune from any kind of attack, there's no way you can beat them.” whispered Gu Rong in an annoyed tone.

“What is the six Pillar exam? Is it easier than facing those two Slime?” gofan whispered.

“Obviously easier, the six Pillars around the Altar, will test the seven desires within you, it is akin to an illusion containing the seven sins... With your Ocean of Consciousness and power, it will not be difficult to pass the sixth test of the Pillar.” Gu Rong said in a whisper.

“Each Pillar represents one sin, except the third Pillar, it represents two sins, it seems like only the third Pillar will take a little longer for you to overcome... but it was still a lot easier than having to win the fight from those two Slimes.... Haiyan... Too bad, he actually changed the way the exam this time.” whispered Grandpa Jo with a disappointed tone.

Gofan was silent, his face looked solemn after listening to the explanation of the two, “Isn't this easy? rather than facing all seven desires..against both Slime it would be as easy as flipping the palm.”.

“Mo Fan's. As a generous God, I will give you a choice. If you give up here. I'll let you out alive from this Menaraku. But your two new friends must die, however they have broken their covenant with me.... Hows it? Surrender or compete?” ask the God of Literature.

“Hai... Fanfan... Forget all previous offers of cooperation. There's no way you're going to win both slimes... Just surrender. We won't blame you for our deaths.” Grandpa Jo shook his head slowly, while Gu Rong stared resentfully at the God of Literature.

Gofan did not reply, he was still silent, as if he was seriously thinking about the offer of the God of Literature.

“Is this test too difficult?” God of Literature noticed Gofan's serious face, “Good... Okay. I'll give you a little ease... If you can injure these two Slimes in three strikes, you will pass this exam. Hows it? Surrender or compete?”

“Hah! He even made it easier again?... Is this exam just a joke?”

Seriate...
