#Gift of the Heavenly Horse (2)

I thought that it would have been less regrettable if I had met Jang Yi-seo before Chil-gong-ja.

Who would have thought that the guy who told me the harsh plan to provoke me would actually show such incompetence in his work?

‘Was it a vain expectation?’

If only I had had no expectations, I can’t help but feel disappointed.

But that’s okay.

My free and empty daily life at the top is like a calm spring breeze even in a typhoon with a cold wind.

If it’s a guy who’s finished like this, you can just lose interest and get rid of him yourself.

But.

“It’s not that I haven’t found the answer, I just waited.”

Jang Yiseo’s mouth opened slightly, lighting a candle in his heart that had suddenly gone out. Naturally, the corners of Cheonma’s mouth involuntarily rose upward.

“wait?”

“Yes. I’m not the only one who should have been here today.”

“Then… … you postponed your answer for the sake of the Seven Princes?”

“yes.”

Jang-seo answered briefly and nodded indifferently.

A confident answer.

At this, a faint smile appeared on Cheonma’s lips. This meant that he endured for the sake of his master even though he knew that his own body was dying.

Isn’t this the answer of a subject that you can’t help but like?

Once again, his attention was drawn to the insignificant soldier. With a bright smile.

“So, have you found the answer?”

“yes.”

“What is that?”

“It’s about making a way.”

A refreshing answer. When Cheonma nodded as if to tell him to continue, Jang continued speaking without hesitation.

“I thought that the original route from the lower tributary to the Imdokyang vein and the 12 main veins should be closed and a new route should be built.”

It is like making a very difficult and rugged path by going around the small and large streams that everyone else can easily do.

This is the definition of the starting point he came up with.

“Is that even possible?”

“Isn’t it a case of returning to the original state? I think it doesn’t matter where you go as long as you can get your energy in without wasting unnecessary energy.”

Cheonma had an expression that was hard to read. Jang-seo, however, continued to recite what he had realized as if he were a child reporting homework that he had done without paying any attention to it.

“At first, I tried to connect the path from the first hole to the ninth hole.”

“however?”

“I failed. Danjeon is an unknown territory. I could get out, but I couldn’t come back.”

“And yet you found the answer?”

Yes. It’s something that will be resolved as long as the goal is achieved.

“I intend to pave the way straight to the blood.”

What a shocking story. If the congressman had heard it, he would have said it would be faster to go to Hua Tuo’s grave and pray.

Jinwoo Gwang’s pupils fluttered slightly and he almost hit his knees.

Do you know that feeling of watching someone climb precariously and diligently up a peak where they have been standing alone for a very long time?

A sense of crisis? Antagonism? No. It’s joy.

A desperate wish that someone would sympathize with the lonely times I endured, even if only a little.

That’s exactly what I felt like right now.

“It opens a path for the blood… … . How interesting.”

Cheonma answered, suppressing his emotions as if he knew nothing.

But even if he didn’t try to hide it, Jang knew.

What I am saying now is the correct answer.

The beginning of the energy is to send the energy from the dantian to the perineum point and then to the dokmaek. So, instead of necessarily circling around the dantian, just send it somehow from the first hole to the perineum point.

“Would you like to give it a try?”

Cheonma smiled brightly and took a step back while carrying his luggage on his back. Then he quickly turned around.

‘If I report it to the rock carving, there will be chaos.’

Jang Yi-seo blinked for a moment in bewilderment.

The fact that Cheonma covered his hands behind his back means that he has no hostility, and turning his body around means… … that he will guard me while I take a morning prayer.

I never thought I would experience being escorted by Cheonma. When I complete my mission and meet my younger brother, I have one more thing to tell him.

“Then… … let’s begin.”

Jang Yi-seo answered calmly and sat down cross-legged.

Then, he placed his hands up and down as if he was holding a transparent ball in front of his danjeon and began to practice the Un-gi-jo-sik.

Woohoo!

Then a dark light emanated from between his hands.

It has finally begun. The last attempt at life or death.

Cheonma thought.

‘You’ve managed to find the starting point. However, if you think that’s all, you will never escape death today. The Heavenly Demon Art is an unfinished art that even the first Heavenly Demon, the creator of the Heavenly Demon Art, could not fully unravel.’

So we have to find out. Another secret hidden within it.

This is the last trap that no one who had given their inner strength to until now could solve and slowly died.

‘If you can solve this, you will become the only being who possesses the internal energy of a Heavenly Demon, despite being weak and not a Heavenly Demon.’

Of course, that’s if you survive.

Shh. A cool smile appeared on Jin Woo-kwang’s lips.

*

Meanwhile, Jang Yi-seo had completely forgotten about Cheon Ma and was in the midst of a battle with himself.

The Heavenly Horse is right before your eyes, your body is dying from the demonic energy, and you only have one chance to live or die, so it is only natural that you lose concentration.

you’re welcome.

Jang Yi-seo was more calm than ever, and was absorbed in his own worldview.

‘All those who received internal energy from Cheonma became cold corpses. Why is that? It was probably not because they were of the nine-legged statutes like me, and it was also not because they lacked the qualities. There is only one answer that can be inferred. It was because they failed to use it.’

The Heavenly Horse Bet that Jin Woo-kwang gave is a treasure of inestimable value if you can handle it properly. It is the most pure and purest of all magic items, and it has power as vast as the sky.

but.

Jin Woo-kwang never taught anyone how to handle this extremely dangerous magic.

‘The absence of the Heavenly Demon God. That is what led to everyone’s death.’

Unable to properly handle this immense power, the magic consumed his entire body and ultimately led to his death.

That means.

‘The story is that Cheonma Shingong is a martial art that goes beyond common sense. If I try to understand and practice it with only common sense, I too will end up dead.’

Yes, Jang-seo saw through it.

There is another trap hidden at the beginning of the path. And to find it, we must first break common sense and go back one step at a time.

And the beginning was breathing.

‘The most basic way to move the internal energy is through breathing. Simply put, it moves with the wind that comes in through the breath. Therefore, the breath inhaled through the nose and mouth passes through the Mingchi corresponding to the Im-maek and goes down to the Gi-hae point in the Dan-jeon to push the internal energy down. Therefore, the start of the energy does not start from the Dan-jeon to the Im-maek, but by passing through the perineum point between the anus and the urethra and sending it down to the Du-maek.’

So, it is common sense that the exercise of luck starts from the lower abdomen, passes through the perineum, goes up the spine, touches the crown of the head, and then comes back down to the front.

Looking at this, it seems natural to open a path to the perineum point without any hesitation.

but…….

‘Cheonma Shingong is a martial art that destroys common sense. In order to survive, you must go against it.’

Well then, I can’t help but ask.

Is it true that the mind method is only through breathing?

well.

There is something I heard when I was learning from the past leader.

‘A bet is merely a medium that helps the mind. If the depth of the mind has reached a certain level and the meaning is communicated, then even if there is no bet, nothing will change.’

Then, the leader of the martial arts world simply made a gesture and magically summoned a sword from afar, and climbed onto the blade and flew to the top of the mountain like a Taoist.

That’s when I realized that there was a divine realm where one could wield a sword with only willpower, without any connection to internal energy.

And only later did I learn that it was the art of using energy to conquer the sword.

‘The Heungseop technique and the Igi Geomsul technique performed by the best masters are different. The Heungseop technique is connected to objects by an invisible string of bet. However, the Igi Geomsul technique is handled only with the mind.’

So, it becomes an absolute martial art that has no way to destroy anything other than blocking a living, moving sword.

So the conclusion is.

‘You can move your bet not only through your breathing… …but also through your mind.’

then!

Shouldn’t we break the very notion that betting flows from top to bottom?

If it wasn’t a common sense martial art learned through breathing in the first place.

If it is a martial art of the highest level that only a very small number of celestial beings with their upper chambers open can practice with willpower.

So, if it is an unprecedented new skill that not just anyone can learn or handle,

then…….

‘Perhaps we could make the flow go from bottom to top, like a bet going in reverse?’

As the so-called… … martial arts of going against the flow of nature.

Woohoo!

Finally, the energy that had been circulating in Jang Yi-seo’s dantian began to flow out through the first hole.

“hmm…….”

Then, as if he was sleeping, he instinctively let out a groan. This was because the magic energy was spreading throughout his body again. He broke out in a cold sweat and his complexion became pale.

However, Jang Yi-seo, the person concerned, did not realize this because his mind was only focused on the universe within him.

Rather, only Cheonma, who heard this, realized that it had only just begun and turned around with an interested expression.

Soon, his eyes caught sight of the black light that had been hovering over his dantian slowly drawing a line and flowing somewhere.

and.

“Hoo hoo hoo… … Hahahahahaha-!”

A roar of joy burst out from Cheonma’s mouth.

Like that halo of light that stubbornly climbs upward.

I was watching the fight between a soldier who was slowly approaching me from the top.

And at that moment, the light passed through the iris and reached the Danjunghyeol.

Kwaaaaang-!

A loud explosion accompanied the body of Jang Il-seo, and black smoke rose up like flames over his shoulders.

This is the basis of the Cheonma Shingong, and it is a phenomenon that only appears to those who have completely accepted absolute magic energy into their flesh.

It was a manifestation of black fire.

“It really worked… … .”

Jin Woo-kwang was overcome with an indescribable feeling as he looked at Jang Yi-seo, who had entered a state of deep enlightenment.

People think that he has never taught anyone the Heavenly Demonic Art. But they are wrong. He has taught it. And not once or twice, but several times.

“Do you know? What you have just learned is the beginning of the Heavenly Demon Art.”

It is the internal energy granted to those who have developed the upper body and reached the peak of the five elements.

That was the attempt at teaching.

why?

Because he himself was a former Heavenly Horse and his master, and he inherited it that way.

Because I had to fight desperately to survive, and only after reaching the other side could I obtain the blackness.

Of course, this is not the normal way.

If you have the muscle to hold out, there is no need to resort to such sadistic methods.

For example, the Seven Great Princes, who were born with natural talents.

However, he wanted to see the figure of a later person, who went against the current and reached the summit, just as he had done.

So, whenever he encountered people of low status but with great talent, he would unknowingly pass on his secrets.

In the hope that perhaps one of them will emerge to take up the cause.

“But no one has ever succeeded. Not once.”

But Jang Seo-ga accomplished that difficult task.
