The Traveler

EIGHTH FLOOR

Time goes by quickly.

"congratulations to all five of you" Yun told his best friend.

"you, you," said Han Joe in surprise

"already,, after breaking through, the energy within the body needs to be stabilized" Yun San replied

"fuck it, actually we want to hide it" Mu An said

"hahahaha,," came the laughter of the other three Yun San friends.

"we don't want to tell you" explains Han Joe. It turned out that their plan to hide his breakthrough was because they did not want Yun San to feel discouraged. They did not know Yun San's true cultivation stage.

"no problem, I'm proud of your achievements" Yun San said. Moreover, he planned to cultivate within the vortex and simultaneously try to find the door of the eighth floor.

"good, for friends who are here, leave it to us" said Mu An

"well," said Yun San and told the five. They need to stabilize their condition. Also tell them what they did to the twelve disciples who had just joined their group.

If his existence were to disappear later on, then the heavenly pavilion disciples and gods would definitely be suspicious. When they move, you don't stop them. As long as they don't bother, let them do whatever they do.

After leaving the message, Yun San darted towards the vortex with a sword in his hand.

***

His five best friends, began to gather the twelve new members. They were asked to stand guard while the five were cultivating. In addition, briefing on what he was doing while inside the vortex. Although the other disciples did not dare to try because they had run out of medicines, Yun San had left behind a medicinal pill to treat them.

Elsewhere, the disciples of the god pavilion continued to see what Yun San and his group were up to. The same thing they did was to cultivate in turn.

***

Yun San had entered the whirlwind. Now he floated with the wind that brought him around in a swirl. His body was shrouded in qi energy, while continuously cultivating sword techniques.

The line of wind energy lines that resembled sword streaks, could be avoided and was partially broken by the sabre of Yun San's sword. There was not a single scratch on his body.

"after your training" said Xiao Di, who continued to hide in his pocket.

"alright, then I cultivate in the center of the vortex" Yun San replied

"no need" Xiao Di explained.

If Yun San was cultivating then the wind vortex became unstable. Because the vortex is created from a formation array. If the formation was broken and the vortex disappeared then the chance of Yun San absorbing the energy on the next floor would be disrupted.

Hearing the explanation, Yun San then rushed to find a moment to dart out of the vortex towards the other side of the gathering place.

"ohhhh,,," Yun San muttered

It turned out that the center of the vortex was a portal to enter the next floor.

"he has disappeared" cried the heavenly pavilion disciple.

"we must follow him, lest the boy enjoy all the good luck on the eighth floor" said another.

"we should join the god pavilion so that the disciples of the sky and light pavilion do not move as we enter the vortex" another suggestion.

Hong Chen represented the heavenly pavilion disciples approaching the god pavilion disciples. He was talking about Yun San's next departure. The two groups began to negotiate their cooperation. Until it is agreed that the group will not fight each other over the treasures to be obtained on the next floor.

"what are you here for" Qin Fan told the group that came

"we don't want to fight, but our group wants to continue on the next floor" said the god pavilion disciple, trying not to provoke a commotion.

"ohhh, please, please" said Han Joe mediating the tension of the light and sky pavilion disciples who still looked annoyed with the heavenly pavilion disciples. As Han Joe spoke, the light pavilion disciples retreated and returned to their activity. While He Gian and the others remained on standby behind Han Joe.

Unwilling to cause a commotion, the group of heavenly pavilion disciples and gods began to head towards the whirlwind. Until they reached the front of the vortex, they rushed into it.

Inside the vortex, they were trying to fight against the fierceness of the wind energy that had befallen. However, the stronger the resistance, the heavier the burden they received. Such careless actions forced them to come out of the vortex.

There was not half a day, their defense had collapsed. No smiles were seen as they exited the vortex. Many of them were seriously injured.

A heavenly pavilion disciple walked towards Qin Fan.

"i am Hong Chen, the son of Elder Hong from the heavenly pavilion" he said introducing himself.

"what is it brother Chen, come to us" Qin Fan replied without introducing himself.

"can you give us some healing pills" Hong Chen said

"sorry, we don't have much preparation for that" Qin Fan replied

"we see you guys taking out pills easily" said the young man beside Hong Chen a little louder

"what do you mean" Han Joe said slightly snapped, then walked over to Qin Fan and was followed by the others.

"sorry we don't accept your group" He Gian said

"we are all injured" Hong Chen said as he held back his emotions. He had never been rejected by another student.

"before, your group has attacked and seized our goods.if you do not leave immediately, then don't blame us for acting rudely" Han Joe harrumphed

"huhhhh" Hong Chen's

"let's go" he continued, taking the group of heavenly pavilions and gods away from the place. He realized that if it was forced, the battle was inevitable. But they are currently in a wounded condition and the number of members of the group is much different.

Although Hong Chen and a few other disciples had reached the sky stage. But on the other side also many who have broken through at this stage. Then Hong Chen's group's losses would be even greater.

On the eighth floor, Yun San was drowning in his meditation. The atmosphere of the place, shrouded in stinging hot air. But it did not take long, he realized that the hot air did not harm him. Even his body felt a rush of energy about to enter.

Moreover, the lotus fire on Yun San's body seemed to be turbulent and was about to break out.

"wuss,," came the lotus flame that wrapped around his body. Simultaneously, he began to cultivate and absorb the energy purified by the lotus fire.

"ohhhh,,," Yun San's inner. Despite applying his cultivation technique, his body was unable to absorb much pure energy. The energy pressure felt remained outside his body.

"this,," Yun San's inner being realized that the hot air was being absorbed by the lotus fire and lightning that was wriggling like a lightning snake creeping down his body. Knowing the situation, he ended his cultivation. However the fire lotus and the lightning snake were maintained to envelop his body.

"the energy in this place, it seems good for the two birds" Xiao Di's voice sounded

"ohhh, well" Yun San retorted then took out Xiao Yu and Lin Wei.

"you absorb the energy in this place, while looking for the next floor portal" Yun San said to the two

"good sir" the two replied, then floated away.
