THE SKY SWORDSMAN
Ch 35 - Hidden City III
Three days had passed since Firon underwent a strenuous training on Stone Nine Island. He practiced controlling the power of his eyes and hearing under the guidance of Sin Toru.
The island where Firon practiced was called Pulau Batu Sembilan because it was located in the ninth position among the large clusters of stones in Hidden Lake. The area of Batu Sembilan Island is only about a thousand square meters. There were no buildings standing on it as the temperature on the island was much hotter than the other islands. Therefore, the island was only used as a place to train martial arts by the Hidden People for thousands of years ago. Even before Sin Toru was appointed the chairman of Hidden City.
“Firon, if you want your voice back to the way it was, then you should be able to control the power of your eyes and ears perfectly. For that, you should be able to combine the divine energy and the pure inner power that is in your body.”
Sin Toru then explained that the god energy given by Sin Toga in such a large amount, had messed up the series of pure energy in his body. As a result, Firon was unable to control his strength well. And even if left unchecked, not only would Firon's voice disappear, but he would also experience paralysis in all of his organs.
“Then, what should I do next, cake?” ask Firon.
“You must have an heirloom weapon that is strong enough and able to survive when flowed with god energy and pure inner energy simultaneously. It is that heritage that will be the means to train yourself to concentrate two different energies in one point.”
“The Sky Sword must have been a great fit, but grandfather never told me where mom was hiding
that sword,” said Firon. His face suddenly became gloomy.
“I'm also confused, what is your grandfather's real purpose. Not only does it endanger your life by putting so much god energy into your body, it also hides something you should know.
Firon stared blankly at the stone walls surrounding Hidden City. Bad temp
the one that befell Turtle City ten years ago, suddenly filled his mind. He missed both his parents.
“Actually I know where your mother hid the Sword of Heaven,” Sin Toru said.
Firon jerks. He immediately approached Sin Toru with an excited face.
“Surer?”
“Yes, the Sword of Heaven is an heirloom that comes from the sky. But I couldn't feel the energy, but I should be able to feel the energy from all the things coming from the sky. There is only one place on this earth that can hide the energy of the Sky Sword,” explained Sin Toru.
“Where, Cake?”
“In Hell's Trench.”
“Palung Hell?”
“Yes, the Trench of Hell is the deepest place on earth. The water is very cold. No living creature can live there. Its depth is about hundreds of miles from sea level.”
“Grandfather knows exactly where the trough is?”
“The palung was in a lake near the City of Lombongia. But that was before a cataclysm hit the earth. The city is now an ocean and no one knows its exact location.”
After hearing Sin Toru's explanation, Firon then took out something from behind his shirt.
“Grandfather can show me where it is,” Pinta Firon while laying two rolls on the floor.
Sin Toru could only frown at the sight of Firon spreading two maps before him. He then approached the two maps and pointed his index finger at one of them.
“The position is here,” said Sin Toga.
“Means its position here, near the Red Continent.” Firon pointed at a different map.
“Yes, you're right. But you wouldn't be able to get to the bottom of that trough if you were still like this. You must be able to combine the divine energy and the pure inner power that is in your body first,”, Sin Toru said while holding Firon's shoulder.
“Keep what should I do now, Cake?” ask Firon.
“You still remember the person who fought with you the other day? You can use his sword! Looks like this sword is quite strong.” A sword suddenly appeared in Sin Toru's palm.
“I mean Grandfather, the Demon Queen Sword belongs to the elders of the Mountain Demon Group?”
Firon grabbed the sword with a gurgle that looked a little hesitant. He looked at the sword in his hand carefully.
“But don't practice here!”
“Why, Cake?”
“You can ruin the beauty of this place. You better train in-“ Sayings Sin Toru suddenly stopped. A giant eagle suddenly landed behind him. A Dwarf is seen riding
that giant eagle. The dwarf then conveyed something using a language that Firon did not understand.
“It seems, your place to train has been determined,” Sin Toru said shortly after the Dwarf said something.
“Mean grandfather?”ask Firon.
“You're coming with him! He will show you his place,” said Sin Toru. He then left Firon.

“What will we do now?” ask one of Yatsu's colleagues. The petite and white-skinned girl was shrouded in anxiety. He and his six companions were looking at the Forbidden Forest filled with thick fog.
“ You shut up first! I was thinking,” Yatsu said.
“Miya, you do not make the Captain more confused!” said a burly man who was
behind Yatsu.
“Ningju, I also don't want to make Captain Yatsu even more confused, but don't you remember what Elder Goemon said three days ago? When we stay four days, otherwise we will all die,” Miya replied furious.
“You are, what you can't in-“ Ningju suddenly stopped talking.
“Ningju, already,” says Yatsu cut. “Do not argue! Let it go Miya!” continued.
Miya flashed a triumphant smile towards Ningju, whereas Ningju could only curse at Miya in her heart.
“Begini .. we will lure the forest dwellers to come out,” said Yatsu enthusiastically.
“How?” ask Miya.
Yatsu did not respond to Miya's question. He turned his body towards the back.
“Yugo, Yura, Momo, Nagato. Raze the forest! I don't want to see a tree standing there!” yatsu's orders to his four comrades from earlier were silent.
Yugo, Yura, Momo and Nagato instantly got up and stepped vigilantly closer to the forest. When they were only a few steps away from the edge of the Forbidden Forest, suddenly a thunderous voice came from within the forest.
“How dare you approach this forest!”
The four of them stopped their steps and looked at each other. Except Nagato, all three of his comrades are visible
losing guts.
“You don't be afraid! We have no other choice. However we will still die if we do not bring the child's head before the emperor.”
Nagato then unsheathed his sword and started to pull out a stance.
The three Nagato colleagues who had appeared to be shriveled, also took out their respective weapons and immediately put on a stance.
