Episode 65 – The Great Swordsman of Hwa-ryong (2)

The fight between Eungseon and Jokja.

It was truly amazing, as all of a sudden, Eungseon flapped his wings and grabbed the folding screen with his talons.

It seemed as if he was being subdued in an instant, but then a strong force swelled up in the chair. And then, there was a sudden, “Kwaaaaang!” shock.

“uh···?”

······I thought I heard wrong.

But that crash just now was definitely a bang!

The shocking sound heard during the fight between Jokja and Eungseon was definitely ‘Kwaaaaang!’

The impact greatly upset Eungseon’s balance. As Eungseon swayed, the stool took advantage of the gap and lightly jumped up.

With a “Paang!” sound, the sword was shot straight at Eungseon. Eungseon barely managed to block it by swinging his claws, but “Zzz!” A loud impact sound rang out.

“······.”

Eungseon’s body, which had lost its balance for a moment, swayed again. As if not missing the gap, the folding screen sprang up again.

But this time, it seemed like Eungseon had expected this, and he flapped his wings and hit the flying pigeon, causing it to lose!

The stool fell to the ground with a strange sound. However, it quickly regained its energy and jumped up again.

Huh?

Eungseon glared and flew up with a look of “What the heck?” Then he grabbed the folding screen again with his dagger-like claws and crushed it.

Then he started throwing it here and there.

Flapping with wings, lashing out, scratching with claws, sticking and sticking······.

“······.”

They just flip it over, throw it down, stab it with their beaks, peck it and so on······.

“······.”

After a long time, the steps finally became as silent as death.

···click.

Eungseon nodded slightly, as if it was a really difficult fight.

Then, Eungseon met my eyes.

Eungseon’s two eyes widened in surprise. And suddenly, the gaze that was glaring at me was······.

Huh?

It seemed as if he had finally woken up.

* * *

The folding screen lying on the floor was so motionless that it seemed as if it were dead.

But I couldn’t just think that way because I had just seen with my own two eyes the sight of the squirrels running wild.

Eungseon-i jumped up from the floor, picked up the folding screen, and brought it to me. I swallowed hard and carefully unfolded the folding screen.

and.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: The youngest still hasn’t contacted me.

The first thing that caught my eye was none other than the words ‘Yeo Dong-bin.’

Of course, I thought it was a quote from Gucheonhyeonnyeo, but it was a bit unexpected. Perhaps because of that, the atmosphere of the chat room was quite different from what I expected.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: The youngest hasn’t contacted me for over a month, Joongyang.

└[Auxiliary Emperor Wang Zhongyang]

: That, that’s it·········.

Along with Yeo Dongbin’s words that came to mind again, Wang Zhongyang’s words immediately came to mind.

And Wang Joong-yang, who was reflected in the portrait, was sweating profusely as if he didn’t know what to do.

So, I was really watching Yeo Dong-bin’s expression.

That is because Wang Jungyang’s teacher was none other than Lu Dongbin. The Jeonjin Church was a religious sect that Wang Jungyang established after receiving teachings from Lu Dongbin.

And today’s Taoist sect was derived from Wang Zhongyang’s Quanjin School.

Volcano faction, Mudang faction, Gongdong faction, Jeomchang faction, Jongnam faction.

Except for Kunlun, all of them were sects that broke away from the Zhenjin School, so it can be said that the Zhenjin School is the founder of the Taoist school.

Taesang Laojun, Zhong Liquan, Lu Dongbin, Wang Zhongyang, and several other sect leaders.

It could be said that this is the genealogy of the Taoist sect that continues along this line······.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: I haven’t heard from you guys since the youngest said he’d teach you guys. It must’ve been a while since that Yongbongjihoe or Yongbongtang or whatever competition ended. What the heck is going on, guys?

└[Hyeonhyeonja (玄玄子) Jang Sambong]

: No, I don’t know what’s going on······.

└[Gwangyeongja (廣零子) abuse]

: I’m looking into it from various angles, but······.

└[Purple House Immortal Gwangseongja]

: Hey, you called!!!

The other investigators also rushed out in a panic at Yeo Dong-bin’s words, sweating profusely.

Only one.

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: The youngest is gone. The youngest has disappeared again. The youngest who was clearly smiling cutely next to me, the youngest who smiled brightly while calling me “Unnie, Unnie”, suddenly·········has disappeared.

Only Gucheonhyeonnyeo muttered with a face that had lost its soul.

So, Gucheonhyeonnyeo and Yeodongbin.

The two immortals’ words began to fill the room, taking turns pouring out each other’s words.

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: I thought we were getting closer. I thought the youngest would soon come to the heavenly world. It felt like I could reach out and touch him. But then, like a rainbow, the youngest suddenly disappeared. Why? Why on earth···?

@청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Youngest, you didn’t decide to learn a different swordsmanship, did you…?

@청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: Even if it’s an illusion, I want to see the youngest. Even if it’s an auditory hallucination, I want to hear the youngest say that she’s my older sister.

@청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Youngest, we decided to learn the Cheon-dun Sword Technique together···. We had fun getting a taste of the Cheon-dun Sword Technique······, right? But why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why on earth? Why?? Why??!!??!?!?

@청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: You know, youngest. I sometimes think about it. What would this celestial world be like if you were to die and disappear? If you were to completely disappear from my sight, if I were to face the reality that I would never see you again, how would I act?

@청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Did you really come up with another swordsmanship? Are you tired of the Cheon-dun swordsmanship? Or did you decide to learn another martial art? Who did you decide to learn from? Whom should I kill for you to come back?

@청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: What on earth is wrong, youngest? No matter how much I think about it, it’s not my fault. But it’s not your fault either, youngest. Then, I guess I should just grab someone who knows you and ask them?

@청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Should I catch Ban-go and beat him up? Should I bring Yeo-wa and cut off her eyes? Should I bring Prince Na-ta and beat him up? Or maybe, Je-cheon-dae-seong···? Did that monkey cub tempt you by saying he’d teach you the Chang-cheon-bong-sul (Chang-cheon-bong-sul)······?

@청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: Are you a Jecheon Daeseongin? Come on, Yeo Dong-bin.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Yes, Nangrang.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Hey, you fucking bastards! What the hell are you guys doing when I tell you to come and see me? Where are you going you fucking bastards!!!

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Don’t stop me, Master. As I told you last time, if you try to stop me, I will cut you down.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Hey, you crazy bastard! Are you doing this because you don’t know what will happen if you fight Jecheon Daeseong? It won’t end with Daeracheon being turned upside down like last time, you punk!!!

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: Don’t worry. I just… I have something to ask the monkey.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Nanlang, why are you doing this too! Come on Nanlang! Hey! Hey hey! You crazy bitches! Hey! Don’t stand there! Hey you motherfuckers!!! If you don’t stand there right now, I won’t leave you alone!!!

He was saying that he would not leave the horse alone, but it was Jong-Ri-Kwon who was actually leaving it alone.

That would be the case, because even from my perspective, Yeo Dong-bin’s eyes in the portrait were… turned upside down.

In the end, the only one who could stop those two was none other than ‘Taesang No-gun’, but judging by the fact that he hadn’t said anything yet, it seemed like Taesang No-gun had left.

So I was in a very difficult situation.

“······Do I really have to report my survival now?”

I watched the first match between Eungseon and Jokja with my own two eyes.

It really wasn’t a joke.

But looking at the state of the dam, it was clear that the second battle would be even worse, and in my current state, it would be impossible to kill him, impossible.

“I can’t even move······.”

My current condition was no different from that of a living corpse, except that I was conscious.

In fact, it was natural if it was obvious, but it was because there was an influence from being swept up in the evil energy of the Blood Demon Heavenly Rajin.

As a result, all the blood vessels in my body were torn apart.

I confess now that it was actually close to a ‘gamble’ for me.

If I hadn’t jumped over the wall at the last moment and reached the realm of the Youngbo Pilbeop Jiseon Gong (地仙功), I would have been consumed by the demonic energy and died.

The enlightenment I gained from studying day and night while teaching the Gupaebang review index was really helpful.

It was fortunate that I was able to barely hold on by reaching the Earth Immortal Power, but I ended up losing all my energy by drawing on the Innate True Energy as the final blow.

I wondered how I woke up when Grandpa Park Jin-Hyeon wasn’t there.

I could only cautiously guess that it might have been due to the effects of Taesang Laojun’s Okryungsan and Taewondan.

Anyway, in my current state, I really wasn’t confident that I could win the second match against Jokja. The only luck was that Eungseon was by my side······.

“Eungseon-ah, can you win again?”

Tick ​​tock······.

This time, Eungseon nodded left and right as if he had no confidence at all. After all, Eungseon had barely managed to subdue the opponent in the first round, sweating profusely.

It is impossible to respond to the second round.

Somehow it turned out to be a more difficult book than the book of evil.

That’s why it was difficult to report my survival now, but it was even more difficult to leave it alone.

Looking at the conversation between the two men, it seemed like Yeo Dong-bin and Gu Cheon-hyeon-nyeo would scold them properly if they scolded them.

“Phew······.”

I took a deep breath. Even so, I was trembling so much that I took a deep breath again and again.

And then close your eyes!

└[Cheongun]

: Seniors! I’m back alive!!

* * *

Flash!

As I opened my eyes, something filled my field of vision.

Now, the seventh ceiling that I saw······was not it, the second ceiling that I saw was the same ceiling that I had just seen.

“······ah.”

It seemed like he had passed out again while fighting with the squire.

That’s understandable, the second match with Jokja was truly······a crazy fight.

It was as fierce as the fight with the Akjihak, to put it a bit more exaggeratedly. Fortunately, however, the clown seemed to have been subdued, and there was no further commotion.

I thought I passed out and Eungseon somehow subdued me on her own······.

“······.”

The room was a mess, but there was no mess like this.

The floor and walls were sunken. There was nothing in sight that looked like it was in good condition, and Eungseon’s feathers were plucked out and scattered everywhere.

Just looking at this, you can imagine how fierce the fight was.

Eungseon was holding on to the chair tightly, looking quite tired.

Eungseon was unable to fly, perhaps because of an injured wing, and it seemed like its leg was also injured, so it limped towards me.

Eungseon, who was limping in front of me, handed me the folding chair while making a noise. It seemed like he was telling me to hurry up and check since there would be no answer if he was resurrected again.

“······Thank you, Eungseon.”

Exactly…

Eungseon nodded weakly. Then, limping again, he crouched in a corner.

‘···I need to get some good elixirs and feed them to him.’

I nodded my thanks to Eungseon again and carefully checked the inside of the folding table.

└[Auxiliary Emperor Wang Zhongyang]

: Ma, youngest! What the hell is going on! Please, please come quickly and explain!!!!

@청운 @청운 @청운 @청운

And the first thing that I saw was Wang Zhongyang’s writing.

Seeing the urgent look in his portrait, I immediately wrote down some words on the scroll.

└[Cheongun]

: I’m here···.

└[Auxiliary Emperor Wang Zhongyang]

: Youngest! Why are you here now! Where have you been and why are you here now! Huh? Hurry up and explain what happened!!

Wang Zhongyang’s reply came to mind almost as if he was running out barefoot along with my writing.

└[Cheongun]

: That’s it. Actually······.

I briefly summarized and explained what happened at the Yongbong branch.

Then, a sudden silence fell over the room.

Just a moment ago, there was no chaos, and no one recalled the words as if they had made a promise.

“Is it broken?”

It was at that moment that I started to wonder if something had gone wrong during the fight with Eungseon.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: What, what did you······? Youngest, what did you just··· say?

Fortunately, it wasn’t broken, and the words of Jongli Kwon came to mind.

└[Hyeonhyeonja (玄玄子) Jang Sambong]

: I think it was called, Ji, Jiseon-gong (Earth Immortal Ability)······?

└[Gwangyeongja (廣零子) abuse]

: Right? My eyes and ears aren’t wrong, are they? The youngest just said Jiseon-gong······? Not Inseon-gong, but Jiseon-gong (地仙功).

└[Purple House Immortal Gwangseongja]

: You say I have reached the level of the Earth Immortal (지선공) of the Youngbo Pilbeop······? That realm that I had barely managed to reach after a hundred years of training······?

└[Auxiliary Emperor Wang Zhongyang]

: If I say, “This is the Thousand-Lived Body·········?”, do you think everything will work out?!!!

For some reason, it seemed like he was shocked that I had reached the level of the Earth Immortal.

The realm of Yeongbo Pilbeop, which consists of Inseon Gong (human immortal achievement), Jiseon Gong (earth immortal achievement), and Cheonseon Gong (heavenly immortal achievement).

Even before that, my level of skill in the art of writing the spirits was ‘the middle level of human immortality.’

It was just one step away from the lowest level, but it was surprising that he had suddenly surpassed the upper realm and reached the level of an immortal.

of course.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Hey, you used the Cheon-dun Sword Technique again?!!?!

Yeo Dong-bin was still shocked and dumbfounded by the fact that I had used the Cheon-dun Sword Technique.

Yeo Dong-bin’s two eyes suddenly opened wide, and only the whites of his eyes were visible.

Soon, bubbles began to bubble at the corners of his mouth, but Yeo Dong-bin did not faint even though it was only the second time.

In any case, the reasons for the excitement were different for each of the immortals, but both the Cheon-dun Sword Technique and the Yeong-bo Pil Technique could be called crazy ‘somethings.’

What more can be said about having withstood the demonic energy of the Blood Demon Heavenly Rajin, which could bind and even tear apart tens of thousands of people?

It was not called the best training method and ultimate secret method of the Immortal Way for nothing.

So everyone was shocked and dumbfounded, but there was also a sense of relief that I was safe.

Just one person.

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: You······ You are really······!!!

Only Gucheonhyeonnyeo spoke with an extremely angry expression.

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: What are you going to do if you use the innate energy again······!!!

It wasn’t because I hadn’t contacted her. The fact that I had used the innate energy made Goocheonhyeonnyeo really angry.

That would be the case, because the innate energy was a ‘true energy’ that could not be recovered. In particular, my innate energy was virtually impossible to recover in this secular world.

However, it was possible to recover with the help of the Taishang Laojun’s immortal elixir, and of course, Goocheon Hyeonnyeo was aware of this fact.

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: Do you think that innate energy is like an insurance that you can use whenever you are in danger?

Innate energy was the ‘original life force’ that the nation possessed.

So, the method of holding out until the very end and using it as a ‘Hey, I don’t know, let’s die together!’ is the Innate Jin-gi.

In short, it was a matter of giving up on the thought of living and using it, and of course, ‘Akjihak’ also tried to explode with innate energy and become one with me at the end.

And the extreme evil of Akjihak was truly······terrifying, and words cannot describe it.

I jokingly compared it to a folding chair, but in reality, it wasn’t even comparable.

What if it sticks again?

To be honest, I wasn’t confident.

If it weren’t for the Cheon-dun Sword Technique, I would have been swallowed up by the ultimate demon of Akjihak and died.

In any case, the innate vitality was the power to draw out and use the life force of the source.

In other words, even if it was restored by the Taesang Lao Army’s fleet, it was not possible to restore it without any damage.

To be exact, the Taesang Laojun fleet was able to restore the innate energy that had been consumed.

However, there was nothing that could be done about the ‘vessel’ that contained the innate energy.

That’s why, even last time, there was a crack in the bowl. In that situation, I drew on the innate energy once more······.

“······It’s definitely gotten worse.”

Now, it was in a state where it was not just cracked, but had ‘cracks’.

In fact, I was not unaware of this fact. So, I was absolutely aware that using the innate energy again would be dangerous.

But there was no choice when it came to fighting against Akjihak.

The worst and the lesser of two evils.

At a crossroads, the best choice was to choose the lesser of two evils.

But next time, I might not even be able to wake up like this.

Now, it was a clear limitation.

No, in fact, it was still the limit.

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: I, I really can’t live because of you···! What should I do···! Seriously, what should I do······!

That’s why Gucheonhyeonnyeo didn’t know what to do and cried.

The small tears that had formed in the corners of his eyes welled up like spring flower buds and finally burst out.

Tears flowed quietly along her eyelashes. A faint pain was engraved on her face, but her beauty was still as warm as sunlight.

I know it’s weird to say this in this situation, but…

Every time I saw it, it was truly an unbelievable beauty.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Yes, youngest. What Nangrang said is not wrong at all. Innate energy is not something like insurance that you use in times of emergency.

The words of Jongli Kwon that came to mind soon came to mind.

I was speechless.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: This time, it will be difficult to recover with a fleet of ‘appropriate’ level like Okryongsan······.

It seemed that a fairly expensive ship would be needed since the vessel containing the innate energy had cracks.

Seeing Jong-Ri-Kwon speak like that, it seemed like the price of Okryong Mountain was 10 years, which was an unimaginable amount.

“Oh, come to think of it, how much is my current merit?”

It was only then that I was able to recall the idea of ​​conversion merit.

After fighting against the evil spirits, there must have been a lot of merit accumulated.

I checked the conversion merit written in small letters on the top of the scroll.

[Hwan─ ─Deok(─)] – ──9──9──

“huh···?”

Suddenly my head tilted.

That would be the case, since the conversion merit was not visible. It seemed as if there had been an ‘error’ like last time.

And if it’s the same kind of error as last time······

“The merit has exceeded 999 months······?”

This means that my converted merit has now exceeded ‘999 months’.

however.

“Is that right?”

This wasn’t certain.

So, it was not clear whether the maximum conversion amount of the conversion merit was ‘999 months’.

That was because the last time the Supreme Lord corrected the error, he said that the maximum conversion would never be reached this time.

But you wouldn’t have said that for just 999 months. Of course, 999 months wasn’t ‘just’…

When I think about it this way, it wasn’t just the fight against Akjihak, but the number of lives I saved at Yongbongjihoe was ‘tens of thousands’.

Then, I wonder if it really is ‘9,999 months’······.

“······Hey, no, right?”

That was not to be.

That would be the case.

“I haven’t taught the kids yet······?”

I haven’t even received the merits of my seniors yet.
