Episode 1092. Breaking through reincarnation (2)

The third place was the first welfare of the empire, the prenatal welfare.

There, the innate diary was rising, so it was not affected by the fear.

Since everyone, including Cheon-hu and Hong-ra, were out on a campaign, there was no one to manage the Seoncheon Shingyeong.

The innate spirit that had been left so abandoned suddenly began to vibrate and scattered light in all directions. A strange crying sound could be heard through the fog that spread along with the light.

It was the sound of the gods crying.

The people of the system were surprised by the strange events that had occurred in the early days of the new era and sent people to check the well. And what those who approached the well found was a giant claw poking out of the well!

“I am the Shinmai Emperor! I am an immortal being!”

The claws that rose from inside the well dug into the ground, leaving the surrounding area in shambles. It was to drag his huge body out, which had not yet fully emerged.

“Shinmaiji has been resurrected!”

The consul who came out to check shouted in an urgent voice.

Shinmaize, who had already stuck his upper body out of the well, stretched out his huge hand to block the consul who was reporting the situation.

The consul, who was preparing to die and closing his eyes tightly, heard the sound of bones breaking. However, when he felt no pain, he opened his eyes slightly and looked up at the sky.

The divine hand was broken in the middle. The toenails and some of the fingers were torn off from the body and fell limply to the ground, kicking up dust.

The next moment, with another cracking sound, the divine being’s head was separated from his body and fell. The huge horn that had been sprouting from the divine being’s head flipped upside down and pierced the demon’s head.

The consul stared blankly at the scene. A being that simultaneously exuded both magic and corpse energy entered his field of vision. With just two attacks, the unidentified being took the lives of both the divine and the demonic spirits, and dragged their limp corpses out of the well, like puppets with their strings cut.

“The new god and the new lord are born. The meat must be fresh.”

The unidentified being muttered as he picked up the corpses scattered on the floor and headed towards Jongsandongcheon.

“And the quantity is generous.”

The identity of that being was Jeso. Sensing that the two beings, Shinje and Maje, would be born in the 7th Heaven, he moved his body for the first time in a long while to procure food.

The moment Jeso moved the two corpses, Shinje and Maje, to the gate, a bright sword light burst out from somewhere. The stars were caught up in the sword light that stretched out into space.

Jeso threw the body away and looked shocked.

“Did you manage to reach the heights of Kendo without any magical powers?”

In the fight between So-woon and Je-hol, they were limiting each other’s power. They were suppressing each other’s magical power and vital energy within their bodies through the supernatural power of reincarnation, and were attacking each other purely with the power of supernatural power.

In such a situation, breaking through the barrier was something that required deep enlightenment and talent toward the Tao.

The Way did not rely on objects, did not rely on departments, and did not require energy. Those who broke through through departments and energy simply had shallow understanding of the Way and could not advance without help.

Breaking through was the act of forming a division through vital energy and using the division to interpret the Tao. That is why ordinary sages and immortals could not break through without the power of the law and realm.

In theory, if you have a deep understanding of the nature of the Way, you can sufficiently display supernatural powers and make breakthroughs even in situations where there is no division or energy. However, this is only theoretical, and it is nearly impossible to actually achieve it.

It was So-woon who had done that. Je-so was extremely surprised by that fact.

“They say that his talent for kendo is greater than Je-pung… … If he had studied kendo instead of Hong-mong, wouldn’t he have become the great master of kendo long ago? Maybe he could have risen to the unprecedented ten-star level of kendo… … .”

But soon Jeso shook his head.

If So-woon had not learned Hongmong and obtained the Seoncheon Diary, he would have lost his life long ago and become a star in the sky.

And the fact that So-woon was able to climb to the top of Kendo was basically because Hong-mong was supporting him.

By awakening to the Hongmong section and realizing the true secret of the Great Way through it, So-Woon’s path became incomparable to that of others.

Because of this realization, So-un was able to view kendo more objectively, and eventually succeeded in understanding the true secrets of kendo.

If there had been no Hongmong, nothing would have been possible in the first place.

And ideologically, kendo was neither too high nor too low a sword. Even if you trained such a sword to the level of a swordsman, you could not win against a swordsman who trained other swords to the limit.

For example, there was a possibility that even someone who had mastered the Great Way of Reincarnation but had not yet become a Taoist God would not be able to defeat him. To that extent, there was an insurmountable wall between great paths.

“Kendo is just one of his many talents, but Hongmong is the foundation that makes him who he is.”

Jeso continued to look up at the sky while muttering like that. The sword light that rose from the battlefield in the distance rose as if it was going to pierce the sky, then returned to its original position.

“I don’t know how many reincarnations I’ve gone through, but it seems like it’s finally coming to an end.”

* * *

Under the Hyeoncheol clan, So-un and Je-hol’s reincarnation had already reached four thousand eight hundred times. When they first started, the speed at which they repeated reincarnation was extremely slow. They had to chase and be chased for a hundred years, a thousand years, or even more before they could advance to the next reincarnation, so the speed had to be slow.

But now, they were repeating the cycle almost every second.

In the process of repeating reincarnation, So-un and Je-hol each took on different forms. Sometimes they became old men, sometimes children, sometimes men, sometimes women. Sometimes they even turned into demons. And yet, they never seemed to win…

As So-un ascended the Kendo Gujungcheon, the situation began to change rapidly.

No matter what Jehol transformed So-woon into, such as a baby who had just started walking, So-woon’s swordsmanship remained unchanged. He turned everything he held into a sword and cut Je-hol in half, forcing Je-hol to flee to the next reincarnation.

Even after So-un transformed into a monster, a flower, a blade of grass, and a stone, he used his sword’s supernatural powers of terrifying power to attack Je-hol.

His sword was free from reincarnation, and every time such an attack was repeated, Jehol felt his life was in danger and had to flee to the next reincarnation.

As Je-hol retreated and So-woon chased after him, the speed of the cycle of reincarnation under Hyeon-cheol Jong became even faster.

It felt like I was quickly unfolding a series of drawings on paper. Each drawing on paper was their reincarnation, a moment when Jehol’s life hung in the balance.

And as the cycle repeated, So-un’s sword became closer and closer to Je-hol’s heart.

And finally, So-un’s sword stabbed Je-hol in the chest.

Jeso, who was roasting Shinje and Maje over a fire, felt something and jumped up from his seat. His gaze was directed to the battlefield where Sowoon and Jehol were engaged in a decisive battle.

A strange atmosphere. Jeso trembled without realizing it, feeling as if something had changed.

The next moment, a scream was heard from the battlefield. It was an eerie sound, as if tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of living beings were screaming in unison.

And countless scenes unfolded beneath the bell. Those scenes formed a huge ring like reincarnation, circling around the bell.

Among the numerous scenes, Jeso focused on the scene where So-woon’s sword stabs Je-hol’s back.

The black blood that had pierced Jehol’s chest was flowing out. The scene disappeared as Jehol’s heart burst.

And then, as if to take its place, another scene came to mind. But that too was the scene of Jehol dying at So-woon’s hands. So-woon was holding Jehol’s severed head up high.

Jeso could feel his heart pounding. The ring of scenes unfolding around Hyuncheol Jong, all of them reflecting Jehol meeting death at Sowoon’s hands.

“Is it showing the end of all… all reincarnations?”

Jeso realized the meaning of the scene’s chain in that moment and shivered once more. At the end of all reincarnations, Jehol was unable to avoid So-woon’s sword and met his death. All reincarnations were pointing to his death.

Whether it was So-un or Je-hol, when they were in danger of death, they chose to move on to the next reincarnation. In this way, they escaped the threat of death and took the opportunity to attack their opponent.

However, the results of all those reincarnations were tied together. So-un killed Je-hol. Then, there was no point in repeating the reincarnations any longer.

Jesso could see in a split second, thousands of ways Jehol could die. In all of those scenes, Jehol was screaming in agony.

In some scenes, Jehol overpowers So-woon. However, even in those scenes, So-woon eventually succeeds in counterattacking and takes Jehol’s life.

“When reincarnation becomes one and eventually becomes reality, Jehol will face death.”

Jeso muttered as he stared at the battlefield. The fight between So-woon and Je-hol was finally coming to an end.

Of course, Jehol who participated in this fight was only a part of him. However, if Jesuk Jinsin, Jesuk’s brain, Baekri Poison, and Doyeokgi were to be lost, it would be a great loss for Jehol.

In the scenes of reincarnation that unfolded with a crackling sound, Jehol was losing his life without stopping. After repeating death nearly tens of thousands of times, Jehol and Sowoon returned to the scene when the reincarnation first began.

At that moment, Jeso felt something else and took his gaze away from the battlefield. From the sky, even higher, a purple aura was falling. It was aimed precisely at Hyuncheol Jong.

“Innate self-esteem! Are you the reincarnation king? I intend to forcefully end this fight and rescue Jehol!”

Jeso ran towards the battlefield without a moment’s hesitation, towards the purple light falling on the battlefield.

As I got closer to the purple light, I finally saw something. The light wasn’t coming from a single sphere… …it was coming from seven spheres in total.

Jeso showed a bewildered expression and thrust his fist at Jabu, who was standing at the front.

A man in shabby clothes walked out from beyond the purple light, as a voice of help echoed from the pride. His body was composed of purple energy.

As the man snapped his fingers, the six remaining ja-bu-s that made up his body flew towards the altar. The man’s true identity was none other than the projection of the reincarnation sage king made of innate ja-gi.

Although King Yunhwe was wounded by the combined attack of Yujo Saeng and Hyeoncheol Jong, he still had enough strength to project himself through the Seoncheon Diary in his pride.

Jeso managed to fend off the first attack from the King of Reincarnation. However, that alone shook the energy inside his body.

The amount of the innate diary in the pride was limited. In terms of the amount of power, it was comparable to Je-pung, who raised two types of great swords to the nine heavens.

The supernatural powers displayed by the projection of the reincarnation king composed of such a self were of considerable power. He was able to destroy the supernatural powers of the Jeso simply by pointing his finger at them and launch a one-sided attack.

The second sage flew in. He soon transformed into the second reincarnation sage king, and assumed the same posture as the first reincarnation sage king.

When he raised his finger and pointed at Jeso, Jeso roared and poured all his strength into blocking the reincarnation king’s attack. However, it was impossible to destroy the reincarnation king’s supernatural power with that much force, so Jeso was dragged into reincarnation.
