The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episode 53's. Up Four Levels at Once

The whirlpool raised Gofan's body, until it floated up, out of the lake. All the bandages that wrapped Gofan's body were released, due to the wind that rotated inside the whirlpool.

Fortunately, before Gofan had drained his profound energy and thanks to his Eternal Bone Science, the injuries on his body had healed faster.

*zyuut*

A few breaths later, Gofan appeared by the lake.

Gofan found a necklace with a pendulum in the shape of a shell in his hand. Gofan looked at the scallop necklace, before Longwang's voice could be heard appearing in his mind.

gofan, it's us, we're in a mussel necklace, save and take this mussel necklace with you, take us to the east sea, and never tell us about our meeting with anyone, including the spirit of the girl who always accompanies you

Longwang sent a voice message directly into Gofan's mind. After saying so, Longwang's voice disappeared without waiting for a reply from Gofan.

The shell-roofed necklace turned out to be a Magic Shell where Longwang lived. Now the Magic Shell has changed its shape into a necklace, so that it can be stored and carried by Gofan.

"So this means, keep it and take it. Why don't they explain it from the beginning?, just confuse it!"

Gofan muttered, while putting the Magic Shell Necklace on his neck.

"Bung!? of course we're confused, you've been missing all night. You're making everyone confused looking for you!"

Mouhuli said as she suddenly appeared next to Gofan.

After Gofan exited the Magic Shell protective formation, Mouhuli instantly learned of Gofan's existence thanks to his perception ability and mental energy. When he arrived next to Gofan, Mouhuli heard what Gofan was muttering.

Mouhuli noticed the discoloration on Gofan's hair, but she wasn't surprised to see that. Mouhuli had predicted that it might happen to Gofan, after Gofan had succeeded in absorbing all of the heaven energy from the mental stone.

"What's that necklace!?"

Bailaohu appears and sees Gofan putting a necklace around his neck.

Bailaohu was also not very concerned about the color change in Gofan's hair, he was more curious about the necklace that was now hanging on Gofan's neck. Bailaohu had sensed something from the necklace Gofan was wearing, but he could not be sure what he was feeling.

Gofan was startled for a moment, seeing the two demons appear just like that, just after he landed by the lake.

"Oh... Sorry, please forgive me Ancestor, I was unconscious last night, I don't know what happened"

"But what matters now, I'm fine"

Gofan closed his words with a short laugh, before answering Bailaohu's question.

"This, just a mussel necklace, I want to make this my memory while training in this lake"

Gofan said as he picked up the clothes he left on the edge of the lake.

ck, this shirt is so full of shit like this. How can I wear it, like this.

Gofan thought as Yubing, Nian, Julala, and Xionan also appeared before him.

- Ahk... Shit...., why did all these women appear together, when I was like this?!-

Gofan, who has not worn a top and bare-chested outfit, is now surrounded by three female demons, two human girls, and one female spirit. That incident made Gofan a little embarrassed, he was the only male, other than Longwang who was hidden inside the clam pendulum.

"Gofan, are you really Gofan?"

Yubing was astonished to see the change that had happened to Gofan. In just a few days, Gofan had already undergone many changes. His hair color and body shape have changed, now Gofan looks more stocky and taller than before.

"What happened to you? Why are you getting old so fast?"

Nian asked, when he saw that Gofan's entire hair had turned white like gray.

"Right brother Yubing, it's me, Gofan"

"Two? Sorry, brother Nian, what do you mean?"

- What's going on? Why does Nian call me aging?-

Gofan is not yet aware of the color changes that occur in his hair.

*zyuut*

- Fanfan, look.Your hair is already gray Hihihi-fi.

Xionan waved his hand and a mirror that only Gofan could see, appeared right before his face.

- What!?, Why this? Why is my hair bleaching like this?-

Gofan was surprised when he saw the image of his face in the mirror, his hair was now all white and he did not know what was really going on.

"Relax, it's just a side effect of the science you're practicing, the color change of your hair, signifying you've absorbed all that science"

Mouhuli said as she looked at Gofan's puzzled expression. Mouhuli did not mention the mental stone, she tried to keep it a secret.

- What a weird thing, can this old demon see my mirror? The side effects of urine should be exhausted

Xionan waved back his hand and the mirror before Gofan instantly disappeared.

It was true that the effect of virgin urine was long gone, Mouhuli could no longer see Xionan. Mouhuli said that because she saw the confusion on Gofan's face, she guessed that Gofan was already aware of the change in his hair color.

"Oh...Be-True, this hair is gray because of the science I trained"

"Mh... The ancestor? Will my hair continue like this?"

Gofan whispered to Mouhuli, after answering Nian's question which made Gofan aware of his hair discoloration.

"Yes, it'll last forever"

Whispered Mouhuli, swinging her arm and a top dress appeared in her hand.

- Forever!?, -

Gofan fell silent at the reply Mouhuli whispered.

"I see, the shirt is dirty, just put this on, take a break first, tomorrow meet me outside the portal"

"And remember, don't disappear again, you've troubled everyone"

*zyuut*

After giving Gofan the top clothes, Mouhuli darted away towards the portal and out of the dimensional space.

"Okay Ancestor, Thank you"

Gofan clenched his hands together and thanked Mouhuli who then sped away.

"Hey... Old grandma... Wait for me,"

- This old smile, it's very nice to go suddenly like this

*zyuut*

Bailaohu went after Mouhuli, she didn't really like being close to humans.

Yubing and Nian made Bailaohu feel fed up. Bailaohu actually wanted to kill them, just because they were friends of Gofan, Bailaohu chose to leave rather than stay there and in the end would only cause trouble for Gofan.

"Gofan, take it, you take it first, later after we meet with Doctor Len's son, we just give it to him"

Julala spewed out a pouch of space that already contained all the fortunate encounters of the legacy of Lenchan.

"Well, I'll take... Ye? Xiashe, do you speak human language?"

Gofan was already wearing a top suit aka clothes, which had been given by Mouhuli, he picked up the space pouch from Xiashe and put it into his space pouch.

"Yes, for three years here, I learned this language from the Queen"

Julala crept closer towards Gofan.

"You never asked and spoke to me using our language, so, why should I speak human with you"

Julala Imbuh.

Gofan just shrugged his shoulders in response to Julala's words.

When he saw Yubing still staring at him in astonishment, Gofan recalled about the Life-Splitting Powder he had already managed to make. Gofan took out a medicine bottle from the chamber pouch and gave it to Yubing, who,

"Sister Yubing, this is the Life-Connecting Powder, this is the antidote for the five poisons you have in your body"

Nian refused the medicine that Gofan was going to give to Yubing, he thought, 12-year-old boy like Gofan, knows what about drugs. Nian was worried that the drug powder given by Gofan would actually harm Yubing.

"Is that so? You underestimated the nephew and only disciple of the Magical Physician"

Julala was a little upset about the attitude Nian showed, she wagged her tail in annoyance.

"Mh.. Did ya? The Miraculous Physician who disappeared before the war of three colleges?"

"Gofan, is that really what he said?"

Yubing did not believe what Julala said, he wanted to hear the answer from Gofan.

"Magical Teacher.what the fuck.if this boy can heal senior, I swear I will call him 'brother Gofan'.cih"

Nian furrowed his brows and chuckled after uttering a vow that he considered to be just a joke.

Gofan nodded softly answering Yubing's question, he stepped closer to Yubing and handed the medicine bottle over, saying,

"Sister Yubing... Accept,"

"Sum once every night before going to bed. Maybe healing won't happen after one drink, but I'm sure after three drinks, it will remove all the toxins"

- If only I could make a pill, just one drink, Yubing would be cured

Imbuh Gofan and stepped away to his hut, on the top of the hill.

Yubing received the bottle of medicine, he did not hesitate about the medicinal properties Gofan gave, he just did not expect that Gofan was the nephew and disciple of the Magical Physician, who had wanted Yubing to ask for help.

"Senior, you only have five days left, are you sure you will entrust your recovery to the boy?"

Nian sees Yubing receiving a bottle of medicine from Gofan and hearing that Yubing must take the medicine for several times, Nian doubts the medicine will cure Yubing before the five-day limit is reached.

"Here we go, we have to trust this to Gofan"

Yubing had already decided to believe it, so he would not hesitate to take Gofan's medicine. Nian snorted softly at Yubing's response.

"Gofan, wait... Accept this, this is the lucky meeting I found"

Yubing caught up with Gofan and handed him a space pouch containing an Iron Folding Fan and some gold coins.

- Fanfan, please accept, the thing in the bag is very precious to me, and please also ask for the lantern of the soul he has-

Xionan saw Gofan's expression about to refuse Yubing's gift, so he immediately interrupted and expressed his wish.

"Thank you brother Yubing, I will definitely repay you, if I have something you want, just say it"

"Sister Yubing, may I ask for one more thing?"

Gofan granted Xionan's request, he accepted Yubing's gift. If not for Xionan, Gofan would have definitely refused to accept that.

"No need, this medicine is more than enough... What do you want to ask for?,"

Yubing walked side by side next to Gofan, while Nian followed behind them with a slightly irritated face, he still did not understand why the senior trusted Gofan, the 12-year-old boy.

"The Soul Lantern"

Sahut Gofan short.

"That's... Know where you are, Senior has a Soul Lantern?"

Nian had eavesdropped on Yubing and Gofan's conversation. He interrupted, as Gofan said, wanting to ask for the Soul Lantern. Nian was astonished, Gofan found out about the soul lantern that Yubing now owned.

"That's..."

"I, I asked for it, I beg of you, give Gofan the Soul Lantern"

Xionan raised his voice, until it sounded in the ears of everyone who was there. He interrupted Gofan's confused words, trying to answer what.

"Sure Senior,... I've given it, the Soul Lantern is already inside the pocket of space I just gave Gofan"

Hearing that sourceless voice again, Yubing instantly replied while Nian suddenly became speechless.

"Gofan, me and Nian will excuse us first, we'll go to the nearest town and find some internal medicine for Nian"

Imbuh Yubing after answering Xionan's words.

- Why didn't I think about it? I should've checked the contents of this pocket-room first

Gofan smiled and shook his head, then kept the bag of Yubing-given space into his pocket of space.

"Sister Yubing, just stay in this dimensional space, five days in the outside world is 50 days in this dimensional space, you will have plenty of time to ensure your recovery"

After saying that, Gofan continued his steps up the hill towards the hut.

- So, this is why he has changed so much, even though we were separated for only three days

"Alright, I'll stay here until I recover, sorry if it bothers you. Do you have any medicine for Nian?"

Yubing finally decided to stay in the dimensional space.

Gofan nodded in answer to Yubing's question, with a slight faint smile, they were now walking up towards Gofan's hut.

***

When the day had changed for the night, Gofan who had arrived at his hut, allowed Yubing and Nian to rest inside the hut, while Gofan, going to the courtyard next to the hut, let him rest, to train the Nine Heavens Book of Heaven.

Gofan took a cross-legged sitting position and performed a hand seal move to begin absorbing heaven and earth origin energy.

Time passed, as Gofan tried to absorb the energy of heaven and earth around him, 20 breaths, 30 breaths, 40 breaths, there was not a single piece of heaven and earth energy that could be absorbed by him.

- What is this!?, Why is there no heaven and earth energy that I can absorb?, What is due to the change in this cube-

Gofan saw a change in the Octagon Cube, now that the cube at Gofan's soul center point, had turned into a two-story cube.

The first level was full of Purple-colored Energy Saripati, while the second level, above it was still empty yet filled Energy Saripati.

- Is that the Mental Stone energy that I managed to absorb?-

Inside the second level Octagon Cube was another Heavenly Crystal, it was located at the center of the second level Octagon Cube.

As Gofan had expected, that second Heavenly Crystal was the heaven energy from a mental stone that had previously been in the form of a young celestial light, it now hardened and turned into a golden crystal that became the core within the second level Octagon Cube.

- Second level?, have I reached the second basic science of the Nine Heavens Book?-

Thinking about it, Gofan changed his hand seal, this time he no longer applied the First Basic Science of the Nine Heavens Book, but instead applied the Second Basic Science of the book of heaven.

- Really.... Haha... I'm already at the second level of the eleven stages of cultivating the Nine Heavens Book

Gofan was overjoyed to find himself having reached the second stage, he was already able to re-absorb the heaven and earth energy, his absorption speed increasing by twice than before.

The Nine Heavens Book, consisted of eleven stages of energy cultivation. The first and second stages are called the First Basic Science and the Second Basic Science. The third to 11th stage, was called the First Sky Realm Stage, the Second Sky Realm Stage, the Third Sky Realm Stage, the Fourth Sky Realm Stage, the Fifth Sky Realm Stage, the Fifth Sky Realm Stage, and so on until the Ninth Level of the Sky Realm.

"Armghh....!"

*Blazhh*

After hundreds of breaths, the blue-colored Energy Saripati had already filled the second level Octagon Cube, thus, Gofan had already had 3000 layers of Energy Dove, thus, Gofan had 3000 layers of Energy Dove, 2000 Layers on the first level and 1000 layers on the second level of the Octagon Cube.

"What happened, Gofan!?"

*zyuut*

Yubing and Nian heard Gofan's cry, they came out from inside the hut.

"The late stage Holy Body realm!?"

Yubing and Nian were shocked when they saw Gofan's body filled with sticky black blood, they sensed that Gofan's martial cultivation had reached the second level of martial cultivation, which was the Holy Body realm.

- Up four levels at once!?,-

Xionan was even more shocked, in just less than a night after disappearing, Gofan broke through four levels at once, instantly reaching the late stage Holy Body realm.

Xionan had never seen anyone who might have progressed faster than Gofan.

Seriate...
