It could be said that the Golden Dragon was the result of the aura that Shen Long had gathered, thus forming a form with the help of the Book given by the guardian spirit.
While the spirit-shaped Guang Louzhy, can inhabit the form of the aura as a new container.
" sister... Can you just act like that?" Shen Long asked.
" Of course not. Now I am part of your body. You don't need to worry, the aura you gather will be my strength." Simultaneously with his words, the Golden Dragon's body began to enlarge and extend to the size of 20 meters.
Looking at Guang Louzhy who was no longer acting strangely, Shen Long was also very happy to have hope that his brother could become a whole person.
" Shen Long's... From now on you should increase your cultivation, at least you should reach the level 1 Sacred Swordsman."
" I can sense that there will be danger waiting for you." Guang Louzhy reminded Shen Long not to quit the Sacred Pagoda Academy before reaching the 1st level of the Sacred Swordsman.
Even though you don't know what kind of danger? Yet Guang Louzhy could feel a bad premonition.
" Alright, I'll be cultivating soon." Said Shen Long, then took a seat cross-legged.
The moment Shen Long closed his eyes, where the Golden Dragon which was the new form of Guang Louzhy, instantly devoured the pile of Resources released by Shen Long.
It was also when Guang Louzhy perched on Shen Long's shoulder, where Shen Long began to absorb the energy from the Resources devoured by the Golden Dragon.
Boooom!
Two days later, Shen Long managed to break through the tier 6 Swordsman Hermit, where his three Qi seas were growing bigger and bigger.
Boooom!
Four days later, Shen Long again broke through the level 7 Swordsman Hermit, a light surrounded his body.
Boooom!
Boooom!
One week had passed, now Shen Long had managed to break through the tier 9 Swordsman Hermit, where he had little trouble breaking through the Sacred Swordsman.
As there was no longer any increase in cultivation, Shen Long again opened his eyes while staring at the Golden Dragon that was on his back.
" Sister, why can't I break through the Sacred Swordsman? Though resources are still many. Is there a problem?" Shen Long asked.
" Shen Long's... To break through the Sacred Swordsman, you have a difference with other Cultivators, since you have Immortal spiritual roots."
" You must open the gate in the realm of your soul! Thus, you no longer open that gate while on the Tibetan mainland." Guang Louzhy explained to Shen Long about the gate in question.
Guang Louzhy also asked Shen Long to be able to cultivate in his soul realm, as the nine gates were invisible to the naked eye, except by using the heart.
With a small nod, Shen Long closed his eyes again and entered into his soul realm.
In the soul realm, Guang Louzhy led Shen Long to find the nine gates in question.
Many times Shen Long searched for the existence of the nine gates, yet still had not managed to find them.
" Shen Long's... The nine gates are not far from you. Between there and nothing. Like Yin and Yang, day and night, water and fire."
" You can feel it, but you can't touch it. You can touch it, when you can't feel it."
Guang Louzhy again led Shen Long about the nine gates through the language.
It took quite a long time, now Shen Long began to feel the presence of the nine gates that were not far from his place.
But the moment Shen Long opened his eyes, the nine gates disappeared again until he only saw a green expanse in his soul realm.
" It's very difficult." Shen Long muttered, then closed his eyes again.
" Neither, you must seek it by heart. Clear your mind to the subconscious." Guang Louzhy unceasingly led Shen Long to discover the existence of the nine gates.
Now Shen Long completely emptied his mind, forgot all the grudges, fury, and forgot the people closest to him.
Shen Long slowly gained enlightenment, where his mind seemed to be clean from all kinds of worldly things.
For a moment Shen Long could feel that he was in an unfamiliar place, as if his body was floating in the universe with stars adorning the universe.
With his eyes closed, Shen Long began to feel the presence of the nine gates in question, which looked like black holes.
Shen Long walked up to one of the gates, then touched it until it gave off a golden-colored light.
" Now not your eyes." Guang Louzhy who was in the shape of a Golden Dragon who was always on Shen Long's back.
Although in a closed-eye state, what Shen Long felt or saw Shen Long, Guang Louzhy could also feel it.
Hearing this, Shen Long opened his eyes slowly, realizing that he was in a vacuum.
" Save the nine gates!" Guang Louzhy gave the order.
Hearing those words, Shen Long put on a sour face. How could he possibly devour the black hole that was larger than him.
" Sister, how could I possibly devour a gate this big?" Shen Long asked, pointing towards the nine black holes.
" You have above average genius. I'm sure you can do it. Use your heart!" Guang Louzhy.
Shen Long momentarily paused while thinking about what Guang Louzhy meant.
" So that's how it is." Shen Long muttered, then sat cross-legged in front of the first gate.
For a moment Shen Long opened his mouth, until slowly the black hole began to enter his body.
" This absorption process takes a thousand years. That means it took you 9,000 years to absorb those nine gates."
" You take it easy, 1000 years in this place, you need nine days of actual time." Guang Louzhy said as he thought of a way for Shen Long not to forget himself.
Without wasting any time, Shen Long proceeded to devour the first black hole, without knowing what happened next.
As time passed, Shen Long had spent 9,000 years absorbing all the black holes where his young face was no longer visible.
Now Shen Long was like a walking old man with a crouch to forget who he was.
Shen Long's hair also turned white extending to reach the waist. Also the mustache and beard also extended to reach his chest.
Like a dazed person, Shen Long walked without direction and purpose, hovering in void space, until the Golden Dragon transformed into a female figure that was none other than Guang Louzhy.
" Who are you? And why am I in this place?" Shen Long who had completely forgotten everything, was now pointing towards Guang Louzhy with trembling hands inedible with age.
