Episode 1096. The Lotus in the Well

Behind So-woon, countless So-woon appeared from the golden sphere and ran wild.

“Soyo Hakjeo, now is the time to get away from here.”

So-woon looked at Ji-so-yo and smiled.

Ji So-yo had many things she wanted to ask, but decided to follow So-woon’s words for now and started flying towards Jongsandongcheon. Occasionally, she looked back with a worried expression.

Unlike her, who started to run away, So-woon was standing still.

Ji So-yo gritted her teeth and increased her speed. Soon after, a huge explosion occurred behind her.

As she turned around in surprise, an expression of shock like never before appeared on her face.

The space-time of the reincarnation sphere began to twist into a ring shape due to some great force.

It was the Taeilcheondomarun of the priests and the priests. So-un unfolded the Taeilcheondomarun and connected the past and future of the reincarnation gold ball.

Hyuncheol Jongi was placed at the center of the Cheondo Horse Wheel and stood tall, protecting the center.

Ji So-yo let out a silent scream as she watched the earth of Cheonbu Dongcheon twist, break, and tear. The earth of Cheonbu Dongcheon soon transformed into a giant magic wheel and became a part of the Cheondo Magic Wheel.

The bell of Hyuncheol was still located at the center of the golden circle.

In the reincarnation sphere, the innate diaries of countless small clouds were identical. And they were all connected. Their powers overlapped as one, making it possible to turn the entire Dongcheon into a Heavenly Demon Wheel as it is now.

So-Woon was trying to use his own power, which was created by the divine power of the King of Reincarnation, to destroy the divine power of the King of Reincarnation.

Ji So-yo increased her speed and fled towards Jongsandongcheon. The distorted space, the giant wheel, was expanding as if it was going to swallow her up.

The moment the horse wheel, which was closing the distance between itself and Jisooyo at a terrifying speed, was about to touch Jisooyo’s toes, the horse wheel’s expansion suddenly stopped.

Ji So-yo looked at Taeil Cheon Do-ma-ryun, who had caught up with her, with a blank expression. At that moment, a leaf suddenly fell down next to her.

Yeop-rak, who barely managed to avoid getting hurt by flipping over just before hitting the ground, looked at the Taeilcheon Doma Wheel in front of them with the same expression as Ji So-yo.

Just like Yeoprak, Soun was thrown out of the wheel. As soon as he appeared, the size of the Heavenly Wheel shrank and settled behind Soun’s head.

Ji So-yo and Yeop-rak looked at Cheon Do-ma-ryun with anxious expressions.

So-woon approached them and smiled as if nothing had happened.

“Seo-yo Sa-jeo, Yeop-rak Sa-jeo, I know why you came to see me. I will go first, so please take your time.”

Before they could say anything, So-woon suddenly disappeared.

Ji So-yo and Yeop-rak were finally able to come to their senses after a long time and returned to the palace.

By the time they arrived in the empire, the situation there was one hundred and eighty degrees different from when they left.

A greater amount of heavenly and earthly energy was rising from all over the empire than before.

The virtuous energy spreading from a dozen or so innate divine beings was transmitted across the continent of the empire and even into the sea of ??chaos.

Yeop-rak hurriedly returned to Wonsak-guk and burst into tears of joy as he saw the fields, which had been his biggest worry, turning into fertile soil again and producing lush green crops.

Ji So-yo looked puzzled as she realized that there were only twelve wells in the entire kingdom. The wells were located in the twelve cardinal directions of the kingdom.

Ji So-yo, who was heading to the Imperial Palace, thought that So-woon had already left. However, when she heard from the palace maids that So-woon was still in the harem, she hurriedly headed to the harem, hiding the joy that was welling up in her heart.

When she arrived at the concubine’s house, So-Woon was carving her magical powers into the Innate Heavenly Spirit.

That innate spirit well, like the others, was directly connected to the Sea of ??Chaos. The thirteenth innate spirit well. However, strangely, unlike the others, it neither emitted any virtuous energy nor created any innate diaries.

So-woon was pouring all his mind into that well. The Taeilcheondoma-ryun-gyeong floating behind his head, and all the So-woons beyond it, were grimacing and concentrating just like the real So-woon.

Ji So-yo could not bring herself to disturb So-woon, so she grabbed one of the court ladies and began questioning her.

“The other wells were made very simply. With the snap of His Majesty’s finger, a hole was created in the Empire, and that hole led to the Sea of ??Chaos. However, the process of building wells around that hole and carving the divisions on it was not so simple. It took twelve days to make twelve wells.”

Ji So-yo tilted her head as if she did not understand the palace maid’s answer.

“Then what about that well in the harem?”

“That well seems to be something special. It took more than ten days just to make the well, and the process of carving the inscriptions on it is taking three months.”

“What makes that well different from other wells?”

There was no way a single court lady could know that. Ji So-yo, who had sent away the court lady who could not answer, stood next to So-woon and watched his actions.

How long had it been? So-woon suddenly stood up and took out a lotus flower from somewhere. The lotus flower had fruit on it, and live roots were still growing from the bottom of the stem.

Something that looked like a puddle, emitting a soft light, was surrounding the lotus flower, giving it life.

Ji So-yo had guessed that the lotus flower had originally been two. There was no lotus flower at the end of one of the two forked stems. It was as if someone had forcibly torn the lotus flower off.

So-un threw the lotus flower into the well he had painstakingly created.

After finishing everything I was going to do, I finally looked at Ji So-yo.

“My lord, I was not able to utilize that treasure properly before, but now I can. Isn’t that amazing?”

Ji So-yo showed an expression of incomprehension this time too.

“What is that lotus flower? What power does it have to be so… .”

Instead of answering, So-woon turned his gaze back toward the well. The So-woons in his Taeilcheondomagyun Gyeong all unleashed their magical powers.

Then, a terrifying amount of innate energy rose from inside the well. A purple aura spread around the well, and a glory that seemed to reflect in a mirror and spread out in all directions brightly illuminated the area around the well.

Under the glory, the lotus began to grow rapidly. The lotus grew so large that it seemed to pierce the sky, and a single petal could cover the entire island.

The lotus stems were integrated into the inner wall of the innate spirit world, and the roots extended through the well into the sea of ??chaos.

The power and glory of the lotus flower, which had been rising without end, gradually faded after it had passed into the heavens.

In the end, the lotus energy completely disappeared and everything returned to its original state. However, as if that was how it was supposed to be, So-woon showed no sign of disappointment and smiled brightly with sparkling eyes.

“Your Majesty, you must remember this moment today.”

* * *

The reincarnation saint king, who was receiving treatment at the edge of the seventh heavenly realm, frowned. It was because So-woon had escaped his reincarnation supernatural power. How could he have escaped his supernatural power by using a ‘stranger’? The saint king had never thought of such a method.

That wasn’t the only problem. Immediately after So-Woon escaped the reincarnation king’s divine powers, he used the Taeilcheondo Magic Wheel to bind his divine powers. This was an event far beyond the reincarnation king’s expectations.

Even So-woon was using the numerous selves that were created through the power of reincarnation in reverse. The characteristics of the Seoncheon Ilgi, the Taeilcheon Doma Wheel, and even the power of reincarnation. The current So-woon was reborn as a being that was infinitely close to invincible.

“The Taeilcheondo Magic Wheel Sutra had weaknesses. If you borrowed time, you had to give up time in return. And the power of the Magic Wheel Sutra that could be unleashed by one person was limited. Their power could not be concentrated into one. However… … So-woon succeeded in eliminating all of those weaknesses.”

This part was also giving the reincarnation king a headache.

“It’s not hard to break that spell now. I just have to step forward and collect the divine power myself.”

But… … . The King of Reincarnation muttered as he examined his body. The wounds that Yoo Jo-saeng had left on his body had not yet fully healed. He had no idea what would happen if he went outside in this condition.

“I could give you a head and two arms, but… … .”

The reincarnation king had sixteen heads and eighteen arms. If he could give up one or two of them and gain supernatural powers, he would be a good man.

The problem was that So-Woon’s current strength was not properly assessed. With the Taeilcheon Doma-Ryun binding countless selves together, and the assistance of Hyeon-Cheol Jong, it was possible that he would not be able to defeat him with just one of the reincarnations of the King of Reincarnation.

“But So-woon has a weakness. He is too greedy and makes mistakes. He is currently using up too much strength to hold onto tens of thousands of the fear-waves within the sphere. Will he be able to keep that strength even when his life is at stake? If the fear-waves are released, the entire Seventh Heavenly Realm will collapse.”

The King of Reincarnation made that decision and trembled. Then one of his heads was removed and two of his arms disappeared.

At the same time, a clone of himself walked out from inside his body. However, unlike the real reincarnation king, this reincarnation king was in the form of a scholar wearing neat clothes and holding a fan made of feathers.

He opened his mouth and smiled at the King of Reincarnation.

“Don’t worry, Do-hyung. I’ll go and make everything go back to how it was.”

The King of Reincarnation also smiled.

“Once my wounds have healed somewhat, I will be able to use the Great Way of Reincarnation to return to my original form. But before that, I need you to give me a little strength.”

The scholar Yun-Hoe bowed and paid his respects.

“I will return with good news, so please wait. Do-hyung.”

With those words, the student Yun-Hoe escaped the chaos.

The King of Reincarnation felt relieved as he looked at the back of his trustworthy scholar. However, for some reason, he felt empty.

‘My, why is he so quiet these days? Even though he always tries to tease me or trap me, the advice he gives is quite helpful.’

It was clear that this feeling of emptiness was caused by the absence of Je Chao Don’s intervention.

However, Jehondon did not show up when the King of Reincarnation needed him. He did not appear before the King of Reincarnation for a long time, to the point where it seemed as if he had really died.
