Invitation to the Chatroom of the Gods - Chapter 5



Only Krnovel

Episode 5 – The new recruit of the damsobang (2)

Nine factions and one gang.

It was a term used to refer to the nine most prestigious schools and one room among the numerous schools belonging to the martial arts world.

In these old school martial arts schools, there were martial artists known as Seongmyeongjeolgi (成名絶技), who represented each school.

The twenty-four plum blossom sword technique of the Hwasanpa.

Jongnampa’s 36 sword techniques.

The four-day swordsmanship of the Jeomchangpa.

The Taegeuk Hyegeom of the non-partisan faction.

Kunlun School’s Taihe Sword and Dragon Sword Technique.

The magic sword of the common wave.

Today, they can be said to be peerless martial artists who have made the Gupailbang a sect that commands the world.

Of course, it is not something that can be taught to just anyone.

Only disciples of that sect could learn it.

Among them, the martial arts known as secret techniques could not be learned by disciples of the same school.

Among the carefully selected disciples, only the promising geniuses who were called the later indexes could learn.

That’s why it was a martial art that wasn’t allowed to someone like me.

It was a martial art that I couldn’t even imagine.

I was neither a disciple of that sect nor did I have any outstanding talent.

A lowly martial arts instructor who teaches martial arts to children in a remote village.

But when I was officially recognized as a new member of the damsobang, there was no hesitation.

The unrivaled martial arts known as the secret techniques of each sect were being taught by none other than the immortals known as the sect’s founders.

“What should I learn?”

It really can’t be anything but a happy worry.

All of those were peerless martial arts and secret techniques, so none of them could be said to be superior.

That’s why I couldn’t make a decision easily.

But the worry didn’t last as long as I thought.

No matter how much I think about it, there is no martial art as good as this.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Get out of the way, you guys! The youngest will learn my sword technique!

Yeo Dong-bin’s Heavenly Sword Technique.

A swordsmanship that cuts down the great evils that have colored the world in chaos and defeats countless demons.

The martial arts that made Yeo Dong-bin a swordsman.

It couldn’t even be compared to the martial arts of the old guard.

If the martial arts of Gupa Il Bang are considered secret techniques, then Cheon Dun Geom Beop can be called a divine technique.

But today, no one knows the first form of this Cheon-dun-geom method.

Nothing was passed on.

While many swordsmen left behind their martial arts for future generations, Yeo Dongbin ascended the throne and left the secular world without teaching his swordsmanship to anyone.

So, the story was only passed down orally as a legend.

That’s why I thought it was nonsense at first.

I thought, what the hell are you talking about?

But not now.

Yeo Dong-bin of Damsobang is the real Yeo Dong-bin.

The Cheon-dun Sword Technique is also a true Cheon-dun Sword Technique.

So, at that time, I was writing down phrases on a scroll to learn the Cheon-dun sword technique.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Hey, you punk! Your sword technique won’t work.

Suddenly, the words of Taesang Laojun came to mind.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Huh? Where is that law!

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Where are you, you punk! It’s here!

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Ha! Then do you think I’ll follow along, saying, “Yes, yes, okay?” This time, I can’t stand it!

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Hey, what a rascal you are! Who would think you’re a disciple? Tsk!

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Who did I learn from? I learned everything from my seniors.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: These damned tiger-like things.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Okay. I will teach the youngest the Cheon-dun Sword Technique.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Didn’t I say no!

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Why not!

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Even the immortals of Daeracheon couldn’t handle your Cheon-Tun Sword Technique! Are you saying that because you don’t know what will happen if the youngest, who hasn’t even reached the level of a sage yet, learns it?

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: If your head explodes. If your heart explodes. If your danjeon explodes. It’ll all explode, no matter where! Hahahahaha!

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Then where on earth should I find my descendants! I want to quickly find my descendants, teach them swordsmanship, and then I can relax a bit!

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Who told you to learn such noble martial arts? If you want to argue, then argue with Hwa-ryong-jin-in.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

After that, Yeo Dong-bin’s crazy words came to mind randomly.

And if you look at the situation…

“It seems I cannot learn the Cheon-dun Sword Technique.”

To be exact, it seemed like it was something that couldn’t be learned carelessly.

Now that I think about it······.

“It was also strange that Yeo Dong-bin didn’t teach me the Cheon-dun sword technique.”

According to legend, Yeo Dong-bin was known to have learned the Cheon-dun sword technique from Hwa-ryong Jin-in.

After that, it is said that Yeo Dong-bin wandered the world, eliminating countless demons and accumulating virtue.

Naturally, he would have traveled the world and met countless people.

Also, I was not unaware that the world was still teeming with demons.

And yet, you didn’t teach the Cheon-dun sword technique to anyone?

“It’s not that I didn’t pass it on, it’s that I couldn’t pass it on.”

So it seemed like he couldn’t find anyone to learn the Cheon-dun sword technique.

Didn’t even the immortals of Daeracheon learn it?

Daeracheon (大羅天) is the highest heaven among the 36 heavens of Taoism.

This is the celestial world where the famous Primordial Heavenly Being resides.

However, the immortal of Daeracheon does not mean the original heavenly being.

The assistants of the original Heavenly Lord are called the immortals of the Great Heaven.

Since the ones who serve are the original heavenly beings, they are immortals whose skills are no joke.

Needless to say, the Taoist power is high.

It is said that even the immortals of the Great Heaven did not learn the Cheon-dun Sword Technique.

So who in this world can learn it?

In the end, Yeo Dong-bin was unable to find a disciple and left the secular world, and it seems that the Cheon-dun sword technique was lost.

Indeed, it can be said that this divine skill is truly divine.

“Let’s give up on the Cheon-dun sword technique.”

So I neatly gave up on the Cheon-dun sword technique.

It’s a shame, but when you learn, doesn’t your whole body explode?

I had no intention of learning to the point where my body would explode.

But to be honest···.

“Can’t I just have a taste?”

I was wondering if it would be okay to get a taste of the Cheon-dun Sword Technique at least.

Even the gods said that, so I started to desire the Cheon-dun Sword Technique.

Do you know if I can learn it?

But he quickly shook his head.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: If something can’t be done, it can’t be done, so know that. And youngest, if you were thinking about it, stop it right now.

If Taesang No-jun keeps talking like that, I will never be able to learn anything.

The Cheon-dun Sword Technique is a powerful divine technique that is not even allowed to be tasted.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Cicadas must eat pine needles, and the cuckoo is a beautiful bird in itself. Always remember not to ruin things with excessive greed.

└[Cheongun]

: I will deeply engrave the old man’s words in my mind.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: That’s great.

Taesang Laojun’s praise continued.

It seems that he was amazed that I was not obsessed with the Cheon-dun Sword Technique and did not become greedy.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: I think we need to talk to the kids separately about who will teach the youngest and how. In the meantime, Kwon, you teach the youngest the Youngbo Pil method.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: I guess so.

After Jong-Ri-Kwon finished speaking, the conversation room became quiet.

It seemed that Taesang Nogun had taken everyone except Zhong Liquan.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Youngest, do you know anything about the Youngbo Pil method?

The method of completing the spiritual treasure.

If I know the method of writing the spirit book…

└[Cheongun]

: It is known as the highest and ultimate secret method of training in the Immortal Way.

It was also a training method created and created by Jongli Kwon in the present-day Jokja.

Jongli Kwon taught this to the Eight Immortals, including Yeo Dongbin, and elevated them to the ranks of immortals.

If the Cheon-dun Sword Technique is a divine martial art.

The Youngbo Pil method can be said to be a miracle of the mind method.

And that’s all I know about the Youngbo Pil method.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: You don’t know the detailed training method?

└[Cheongun]

: Yes.

Of course, unlike the Cheon-dun sword technique, only a small portion of the Yeong-bo-pil technique was passed down.

But that original form has long since disappeared.

Even the small portion that is passed down is it a shaman or a volcano?

I don’t know exactly where, but I heard it’s deep inside the secret area of ​​the headquarters of the relevant sect.

Rumor has it that it is only passed down to the elders···.

Naturally, it was a training method that someone like me could not learn carelessly.

but.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Hmm, then I guess I should start from the beginning. For now, I’ll just give you the basics.

I was able to learn directly from the founder of the Youngbo Pil method, Jong Li-kwon.

And not just a part of it, but a complete circle.

“Is this correct?”

I really couldn’t tell if it was reality or a dream.

Anyway, as I was waiting with excitement, Jong-Ri-Kwon’s words came to mind.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: The practice of Yeongbopilbeop is called Samseon-gong (三仙功). It is a three-stage practice method consisting of Inseon-gong (人仙功), Jiseon-gong (地仙功), and Cheonseon-gong (天仙功).

Then, the explanation of Jongri Kwon followed.

Seriously, there has never been a sight like this.

What about vaporization of the human body?

The process of having substance and not having form is like this.

“···What are you talking about?”

It was a series of concepts and explanations that were completely incomprehensible.

Just hearing it made my head spin and hurt.

Moreover, this is a basic principle that is not even the first step.

“······.”

···The road ahead was dark, if not blocked.

* * *

The explanation of the concept of Jongri Kwon took more than two hours to complete.

Where can I find the basic gist of this?

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Then, try what I have told you so far.

I put down my folding chair and sat cross-legged.

“It’s my first time doing a fortune telling trip···.”

This is a body that hasn’t built up any internal energy in the past 15 years.

Even if I wanted to do the Unkihaenggong, I couldn’t.

I quietly closed my eyes and observed my danjeon.

Wiggle.

Then I felt something moving in my lower abdomen.

It was an internal energy that I had never felt even once in my entire life.

As expected, the quantity was not large.

Internal energy as small as a grain of rice.

However, when I first started working on my internal energy, I was nervous and worried.

‘Be careful.’

I moved my tiny bit of internal energy carefully.

And at that very moment.

Saaaa …

My internal energy suddenly surged and soared.

It got out of my control and started running wild in all directions.

‘Hey!’

I tried to control it, but I just couldn’t.

This guy’s really fucking talented.

How is it that I can’t even properly control a small amount of my internal energy?

Kwaaaa …

My internal energy, out of my control, was running wild in my danjeon.

Running wild with internal energy that is not even as good as a grain of rice is like a rabid beast.

And doesn’t it actually change into a beast-like form?

No, upon closer inspection, it wasn’t just any beast.

‘The Grim Reaper···?’

The four sacred beasts that protect the four cardinal directions.

Each one changed into the shape of a blue dragon, a red bird, a white tiger, and a black tortoise, and then spread out haphazardly.

It seems that the power of the Youngbo Pil method has been revealed.

The internal energy in the form of a death god roared in anger at the blocked energy and blood vessels inside me.

He released a vicious aura and tried to clear the blocked energy and blood vessels.

But the amount was too small.

The rampaging grim reaper has finally disappeared.

and.

“Cough···!”

He coughed up red blood from his throat.

My stomach was churning as if it had been turned inside out.

···It was a common internal injury.

But can you get injured with just a grain of rice of internal energy?

“Khak···!”

It seemed that I had not properly practiced the essentials of the Youngbo Pilbeop.

Furthermore, it was because I couldn’t even properly control the internal energy that was as small as a grain of rice.

Anyway, this damn talent.

Who is to blame anyway?

“Haa···! Haa···!”

He caught his breath and wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve.

And then he lifted the scroll again and asked Jong-Ri-Kwon.

└[Cheongun]

: Senior. Excuse me, but could you explain the essence of Un-gi-haeng-gong in a little more detail?

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Hahahahaha! It still doesn’t work out well, right? That’s how it is, so don’t be too discouraged.

He consoled me, saying that the rights were okay.

But it didn’t really provide any comfort.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Tell me where you got stuck.

I just wrote down in detail what happened.

Then, the words of Jongli Kwon came to mind like lightning.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: What did you just say? The form of the Grim Reaper appeared?

Jongri Kwon’s reaction was somewhat strange.

The atmosphere was also unusual.

He looked anxious and surprised.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: answer!

└[Cheongun]

: Yes, that’s right!

I was so nervous that I wrote in a hurry and ended up stuttering.

No, the right to the land should usually be fresh.

How could you possibly know what kind of trouble you’d get into if you provoked someone?

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: So the Four Guardian Guardians are the Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Red Bird, and Black Tortoise?

└[Cheongun]

: That too.

Jongri Kwon didn’t have any particular answer.

After a little while, new phrases just came to mind.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Senior, I think you should come here for a moment.

@Taishangnogun

Now here’s the second weird symbol I’ve seen @.

Judging from the situation earlier, it seemed like a code used when calling someone.

As expected, not long after, Taesang Laojun’s words appeared on the scroll.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: What’s going on?

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Not only did our youngest perform human vaporization, he also recalled the Four Guardian Spirits.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: ···What?

This time, Taesangnogun’s words were unusual.

As expected, he looked anxious and somewhat surprised.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Is that really true?!

└[Cheongun]

: Yes.

As I was hastily writing the reply, I wondered why it was like that.

I wondered if it was something that even the Grand Prince needed to ask so urgently.

There was a brief silence, and the words of the Great Master came to mind again.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Youngest, tell me more about yourself.

└[Cheongun]

: You asked me to tell you about myself…

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Tell me in detail what your talents are.

I wondered how to answer this.

That’s understandable, because I don’t have anything that could be called talent.

Just now, wasn’t it impossible to do anything with even a grain of rice-sized internal energy?

After much thought, I told the truth.

└[Cheongun]

: I don’t have anything that you could call talent.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Because you didn’t understand what I meant…

It was only for a moment that the words of Taesang No-gun, which seemed to click his tongue, came to mind.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: I guess I’ll have to check on you myself.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Is that okay? Even though he is a senior, the youngest is not a sage, so wouldn’t the consumption of merit be considerable?

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Still, I have to check it out.

It happened as soon as Taesang Laojun’s words came to mind.

Phew···.

A mysterious and magical energy emanated from within the folding screen.

It wrapped around my body once, then was sucked back into the chair.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Senior, what do you think? Are you sure that’s really it?

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Yeah, that seems right.

What is that? Please tell me.

As if reading my thoughts, Taesang Laojun’s words came to mind again.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Youngest, you were born with a weak body, and no matter what medicine you tried, it would have been ineffective.

└[Cheongun]: ···That’s right.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: I wouldn’t have been able to build up my internal energy, and with my body weakening, I couldn’t do anything, so all I could do was slowly die. Is that right?

└[Cheongun]: How did you know?

Who wouldn’t say that he is the great general and the great master?

It was a truly surprising story.

It couldn’t be more miraculous than this.

It felt like it was piercing through not just my body, but my whole life.

Indeed, I had the thought that Taesang No-gun was Taesang No-gun.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Youngest, what did you think your innate talent was?

└[Cheongun]

: I thought it was a talent abandoned by heaven.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Yeah, I guess that’s what you had to think. In this world, there’s no way to know what your talent is.

└[Cheongun]

: Does that mean that it’s not a talent that heaven has abandoned?

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: In fact, the opposite can be said.

└[Cheongun]

: If you say the opposite…

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: It is a talent that the heavens fear.

···I couldn’t understand a single word of what was being said.

A talent that the heavens fear?

Me, who hasn’t been able to escape from being a third-rate unmanned vehicle for 15 years?

Me, the world’s dullest person who has not been able to build up any internal energy despite taking various elixirs?

Me, who just now couldn’t even properly control my internal energy?

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Dongbin, come and see for a moment.

@Yeo Dong-bin

I felt dazed for a moment.

The words of Yeo Dong-bin, who had been called, floated up onto the scroll.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: What is it?

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: I think I found it.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Have you finally lost your mind? Or have you come to your senses?

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: This little bastard has such a way with words. He’s going to try to cut off my neck later, huh?

A slightly angry note from Taesang Laojun.

Even though he was Yeo Dong-bin, it seemed that Taesang No-jun was still scary, as his momentum had considerably weakened.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: ···Then why did you call me all of a sudden?

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Hey, tsk. Even if I die soon, I won’t say sorry.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Didn’t you say you were sorry after stealing the youngest?

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: So that’s why you’re so chubby?

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: ···That’s not it.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: No, damn it. A passing Yuga guy would laugh at that.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Okay, that’s enough. But please tell me why you called me.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Didn’t you say you found it?

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: So what are you saying?

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: I am the successor to your Heavenly Sword Technique.

Yeo Dong-bin had no answer.

As if he was speechless, Yeo Dong-bin’s words did not come to mind even after a long time.

Only one.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: It seems like the youngest one has the qualities of a descendant of yours.

Only the words of Taesang Laojun floated above the scroll.
