Episode 1073. This is this (1)
Outside the system, in the factory.
So-woon raised his head and looked at the dark clouds covering the seventh heavenly realm. The rotten smell of the heavenly and earthly energy was wafting out.
The vital energy that had rotted and gathered like that turned into cowardice and fell to the ground like snow.
“The Fearful Ones will enter the final stage in a few months. Their rotten energy is already permeating the Seventh Heavenly Realm.”
Cheon-hu came up behind So-woon.
“Your Majesty, are you confident that you can overcome the current situation?”
“No. There isn’t.”
So-Woon turned away from his gaze to the sky and looked at the giant furnace inside the factory. Inside the brass-covered furnace, a small ball of fire was floating.
The fireball wasn’t that big, but for some reason it felt like it could burn anything it touched.
The true nature of the fire was chaos.
Inside the factory, the bell makers were constantly pushing the bell parts into the furnace. It was a procedure for making a new bell.
In front of the furnace, Guyamo was controlling the power of the fire. He was showing that he was being very careful. The moment he failed to control his magical power, a huge hole would be created in the empire, so he had no choice but to be careful.
“There is no such thing as confidence.”
So-woon repeated in a calm voice.
“When my path ascended to the Seven Heavens, I was free from the oppression of the King of Reincarnation and regained my freedom. If I had ascended to the Eight Heavens smoothly, the King of Reincarnation would not have even properly recognized the supernatural powers I was using. To prevent that, the King of Reincarnation took action first, and I was once again in a dilemma.”
Cheon-hoo frowned.
“Is that what you mean to say, that there is not even a shred of hope?”
So-woon’s face was pale. This was because the scars on his body had not completely healed. However, a smile appeared on his face.
“Hope is something to be conquered. To be honest, I still don’t see any hope. But… … This situation won’t last forever. I’ve dealt a blow to the King of Reincarnation, but it’s not enough. That’s why I’m making a new bell. All my paths will be contained in this new bell. That bell will become another me.”
So-un was weak. He was unable to break the seal of the King of Reincarnation. Because of the seal, his body was not able to heal completely, and the wounds kept opening and re-opening.
But even so, So-woon showed a sincere smile.
“As long as there is a reincarnation king, I cannot make a breakthrough. However, with paper, I can. The moment my paper advances to the next level, everything will change.”
Cheon-hoo had an expression of incomprehension. How could a piece of paper ascend to the Seven Heavens of the Taoist Realm?
This was inevitable since she didn’t know much about the Hongmong sector. Of course, even those who studied the Hongmong sector, such as Jehol, would not be able to fully understand So-woon’s words and thoughts.
They knew only half of the Hongmong section and the Seoncheon Diary.
“As I told the King of Reincarnation, the moment my path reaches the Seven Heavens, even the King of Reincarnation will not be able to know what I am doing.”
So-woon looked at Kuya-mo, who was moving busily while muttering like that.
“This paper will ascend to the Seven Heavens of the Dogyeong on my behalf and then raise me in return. Then, I will be completely free from the oppression of the King of Reincarnation. The Hyeoncheol Bell will be the first treasure in the entire universe to be created, imprinted with the original spirit.”
Cheon-hoo looked at So-woon’s confident smile and made an expression as if a burden had been lifted from his mind.
“Your Majesty, you intend to defeat the Cowardly Line and the Jehol.”
“Yes, of course.”
So-woon turned his head and looked at Cheon-hu.
“Gyeophoeseon and Jehol are no match for me. I have been preparing for this situation for fifty years. It all started when the Emperor Shinje still called himself the Crown Prince and entrusted his body to me.”
Cheon-hoo showed a surprised expression. The time that So-woon spoke of was before the 6th Heavenly Realm invaded the 7th Heavenly Realm, more than sixty years ago.
So, did So-Woon know from then on that the Fearful Ship would invade the 7th Realm?
A light of chaos flashed in So-woon’s eyes.
“It’s been over fifty years since he prepared for the attack of the Cowardly Ships. It’s been quite some time, so he must have fully recovered.”
Cheon-hoo tilted his head again.
“Granny, who are you talking about?”
“The Great Emperor of Fear, Junggeumneung.”
Cheon-hu looked at So-woon with a shocked expression. The Emperor of Heaven who buried the Second Heavenly Realm with his own hands, the Great Emperor of the First Calamity.
“Zhong Jinling is a person outside of reincarnation. He does not belong to the Seon universe… … .”
So-woon continued speaking, staring intently at the chaos.
“When I was only focused on Jehol, the fight between me and the King of Reincarnation began.”
So-woon was telling the next story, but the name Jung-geum-neung was still lingering in Cheon-hu’s mind. If Jung-geum-neung was leading the Gyeop-hoe-seons as So-woon said, then there was no chance of victory in the 7th Heavenly Realm.
“… … Is there a way to defeat the King of Reincarnation?”
Cheon-hoo was lost in thought for a while before asking that question. Then, So-woon’s eyes, which had been burning brightly, slightly darkened.
“Not yet. But things are starting to change. With Junggeumneung joining this fight, there will be more changes. In a way that even the King of Reincarnation could not have dreamed of.”
“Sixty years ago, I was just an ordinary being on a boat going with the flow. I had no idea when or how the boat would capsize and I would die. But now, if it weren’t for the interference of the King of Reincarnation, I have acquired the power to bury Jehol with my own hands.”
“Then what about thirteen years later?”
So-woon finished the story in a low voice.
“Even the King of Reincarnation would not be able to predict what I will look like thirteen years from now.”
* * *
Mangcheon, the last of the fearful ships left the place, and Mangcheon became quieter than ever.
When silence suddenly descended on the place that was always full of noise, the place seemed completely different.
A few days later, someone with a deep hat walked out of the castle and stuck a stone sword into the ground. Then he sat down and waited quietly for something.
A few more days passed, and someone’s voice was heard from inside the cave.
“Hyunggye Dohyeong, is that you?”
Hyunggye raised his head and smiled, full of joy, yet at the same time looking sad.
An old man with white hair walked out from the direction of Mangcheon. He looked younger and younger as he walked forward. It was as if he was going backwards in time.
By the time the old man emerged from the mist of Mangcheon, he had completely transformed into a boy.
The only person who could be called a heavenly emperor, aside from Je-suk, the heavenly emperor of the second realm, was Jung Geum-reung, and he had returned to the human world.
Hyunggye took off his hat and smiled rudely.
Two people who were master and slave in the past, but later became monarch and subject.
During the time when Hyunggye was the master and Junggeumneung was the slave, they developed a friendship as equal friends regardless of their relationship. Even after Junggeumneung became the emperor of heaven, their friendship remained unchanged, and the relationship between the two continues to this day.
Hyunggye guarded the gate leading to Mangcheon in order to keep his promise with Junggeumneung. Even after tens of millions of years, countless years that could not be counted in numbers, his original intention did not change.
Junggeumryung protected his subordinates by burying his own choices, burying himself, and sacrificing himself.
Both of them did the best they could in their respective positions.
Hyunggye pulled out the stone sword that was stuck in the ground and handed it to Junggeumneung. Then, Junggeumneung’s spirit and body merged into one, and his body transformed into something greater than ever before.
Jung Geum-reung, who had received the stone sword, buried it back into the ground.
thud!
The ground and space shook with a loud noise. The Second Heavenly Continent separated from Wangcheon and soared into the sky.
In the past, Junggeumryung used the True Sword Stone Sword to cut down the second-level Seonjeong and buried himself. And now, he has used the True Sword Stone Sword again to release the buried Seonjeong from its seal.
The land that was once sacred was now covered in a catastrophic disaster. And in that catastrophic disaster, those who had turned into catastrophic ships were lined up in a row. They were all the sailors and captains of the second tier.
From the outside, they looked like nothing but cowards. But when you step inside the cowardice and look at them, they look exactly like they did when they were alive, with blood and flesh flowing from them.
Because Junggeumreung had been keeping them alive until now by burning his own body, their bodies remained intact without turning into kalpas.
Hyunggye climbed up onto the continent and shouted.
“Do-u, this time I will be with you!”
Junggeumneung also stepped forward with his sword in hand. In this way, the 2nd Immortal Realm began to fly towards the 7th Immortal Realm.

At the edge of the universe, the King of Reincarnation was looking anxious while holding up the Dharma statue. The reincarnation of the seventh heavenly realm was spread out before him. At that moment, the King of Reincarnation frowned as if he had discovered something.
“Why, what happened again?”
Jehondon appeared and asked a question.
“What does it matter?”
The reincarnation king, who reacted slightly sensitively, soon sighed and explained the situation.
“There’s a small problem. Junggeumneung has appeared. Wangcheon, he who had buried himself and the second realm entirely in the space outside of my sight, has suddenly reappeared. This is unexpected.”
“Even so, it’s a being of the same level. I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.”
Despite Je-Hoon-Don’s words, the King of Reincarnation did not take his eyes off the reincarnation.
“Jung Geum-ryung is the first of the second-level sages. He has outstanding talent. However… … He is just a commoner who has only climbed to the top of the Do-gyeong Nine Heavens, just as you said. The real danger I think of is Yoo Jo-saeng. Lee Ja is another variable, just like So-woon.”
“He is also a foreigner, and his abilities are on par with ours. However, he is still at the end of his rope. It is impossible for him to create his own Taoist realm. At best, he will be a heavenly warrior, or he will not even be able to reach that level, and he will lose his life.”
The King of Reincarnation smiled faintly at Jehondon’s remark.
“Certainly, not everyone is born with the same wisdom as you. It is not possible for anyone to break away from the old law and create their own Taoist realm and gain power outside the Tao.”
Jehondon also smiled, following the reincarnation king.
“In order to open your own Dao realm, you need to be recognized by the great Dao in the universe. Although Yoo Jo-saeng is a being from another universe, the universe he belongs to has already disappeared. How can he create his own Dao realm?”
“That’s true… …. Then why is So-woon going out of her way to find that kind of orphan?”
The King of Reincarnation pointed to a scene in the reincarnation and expressed his doubts. When he looked closely at the place his finger was pointing to, there was indeed a scene unfolding, with So-woon accompanied by a carriage heading to the place where Yu Jo-saeng was practicing closed-door training.
“Since your health is not getting better, you must be looking for a lifesaver. I don’t think there is any need to worry too much about this.”
The King of Reincarnation glared at Jehondon with a suspicious look.
“Do-hyung, do you know that the smell of treason emanates from Do-hyung these days?”
Saying so, the King of Reincarnation carefully examined the reincarnation again.
