Chapter 4028: Nine Stonod Gates Buzz A buzzing sound rang out and the small tile that had melted began to rise. Soon, it had risen above my height and continued, before finally stopped and started to spread and then solidified, turning into a pristine white gate like the tile earlier. 'Nine Stonod Gates,' I read the words above it. It didn't make sense to me, without a context, but I was still able to intuit something with the words. "Let go," she turned and took a step took a step toward it, before stopping after the first step. She saw I didn't move from my place and turned to me with a question. "Where does it lead to?" I asked, to which she sighed. "It's a challenge; there are nine runic gates in it. Each gate had a different pool with different abilities." "I was able to clear the eight gates, but the ninth one is beyond me," she replied with a sigh. "So, you think, I will be able to solve it?" I asked. "You will have to; behind it is an Irvus Pool" she replied and took a step inside the gate. She disappeared inside and I kept looking at it for several seconds, before sighing and entering the room. I was prepared for the sneak attack, but it didn't come. I found her, looking at the red runic door with the concentration. "I will solve the eight gates. You can enjoy the pools, that have behind them. Just help me with the final one," she said. I didn't say anything and watched her. She kept looking at it for over ten minutes before she started moving her hands across the runes. Buzz! She did it for over fifteen minutes before the door buzzed. Click! She pushed it open and stepped inside. I followed behind and entered a massive hall. In the center of it is the pool with pale green liquid. "It is the pool of Suras; it can heal all your injuries from microscopic to life-threatening," she informed and moved toward the gate on the other side. I looked at her for the moment, before walking toward the pool. As I reached it. I deactivated my armor and most of my clothes disappeared while I entered inside the pool. My expressions are unchanged, but in my heart, I am very excited. I have read about the pool of suras and it is amazing. While I always take care of even microscopic injuries. Some remain. The method I practice leaves few behind; this pool will help heal them and those caused by other things. "Ahhh!" I took steps inside and immediately a moan came out of my mouth as I felt gentle energies coming inside me. Bang! Soon, I reached the center and completely submerged myself in it while gentle energies entered inside me. Into every cell and speck of my body. It feels amazing, that I had lost in it. I didn't even care about, the danger, I sensed from her, which increased as I stepped into this place. As long as I am in the pool. I am safe. I had read the rules; people couldn't be harmed inside the pool. Outside is a fair game. So, I let the energies come inside me without any worries. Let them heal my injuries while I enjoy the amazing feeling they give me. Minutes passed by, and finally, the last stream of energy returned from my body. It had healed all the injuries of my body and soul. I could already feel a lot lighter than before. I got up and walked out of the pool while keeping an eye on Hayat, who was looking at the door. She had already opened it and was waiting for me. As I stepped out, the clothes appeared back on my body, before the armor appeared. A second later, I appeared beside her. Click! She didn't say anything and simply pushed open the door, before walking inside. "This is the pool of Larma; it will cleanse all the impurities in you," she informed and walked toward the door on the other side, while walking, toward the pool of mud. There is a thick brown mud with small violet crystals on it. My body is clean, cleaner than any Sky Sovereigns, I had seen, but it's not devoid of impurities. There are impurities. People would say, I am filled with it, seeing the sheer number of resources I consume. I am a guzzler, who consumes resources compared to several Sky Sovereigns. My methods and treatments, I create remove those impurities effectively, but the tiny amount of them do remain. I hope, this pool will be able to remove them. I walked in the thick mud until I reached the center before sitting down. Hun! After a few seconds, a surprise appeared in my eyes. The energies of the pool entered deep inside me, sucking out the impurities that are deep within. I had read about it and expected it to do a good job, but what it is doing right now is above my expectations. I calmed myself and focused on these energies. Trying to get as much data as possible. If I can replicate it, even with a quarter of its efficiency, it will help me tremendously. Minutes passed as I watched it work. Cleansed my body with the impurities. These pools turned out to be really amazing. If the pools ahead, were just as amazing, then when I came out of this place, I would be far more ready for the Sky Sovereign breakthrough, than I had been before. I still have to cross one more small level before I can prepare to breakthrough into the Sky Sovereign, but I could be prepared for this level. Soon, the last of the energy came out. Cleansing my body with nearly all impurities. Making me feel cleansed like never before. I am not just feeling it; I am seeing the proof in front of me. My meta scan shows the amazing cleansing I had gone through. I got up from the pool, with mud sliding down from my skin smoothly, and when I got out; there was a not even speck remained on me. The clothes appeared on me and so is my armor. Click! I appeared beside Hayat, who once again had already finished with the door and opened it before stepping inside without saying a word.
