Cheonumshinkong
The Ice Spirit Chapter
Icefall destruction river
Tsk tsk tsk tsk-!!
It was a method of freezing and destroying everything within range.
The extreme power of the ice spirit overpowered the divine spirit, but it was still useless.
“This time again it’s illegal.”
Because the power of the Ice Spirit couldn’t freeze the divine being.
“… … !!”
Wow wow wow!!
However, Cheonhwa’s methods did not end there.
Although it failed to freeze the god, the Ice Blast’s destruction was a power that poured out energy to everything it froze and destroyed.
“Tch.”
However, he also could not harm Shin Seung.
The moment the Shinseung sword, which seemed to have stopped in place, shook slightly, all the energy pouring down on him disappeared.
“Let’s go one more time!”
Cheonumshinkong
The Ice Spirit Chapter
Sulwoonnanjang
That’s why Cheonhwa also changed his method.
After confirming that the Shinseung’s illegal and infinite power did not reject the Ice Spirit’s energy, he pushed the Ice Spirit’s energy deeper.
Suuuup-
Just through breathing.
The mist-like power of the Ice Spirit flowed inside through the divine spirit’s breath.
The moment the sound of the Heavenly Flowers gave the signal, they would run wild inside, tearing and freezing my organs and taking my breath away.
“This is called the light of the Tathagata.”
“!!”
However, Shinsung was a little faster.
As he accepted the energy that had permeated his inner self, he also began to spread his energy to his surroundings.
Cheeeeeeeeek-
At that moment, a bright white light spread around Shin Seung and the Ice Spirit began to melt.
Of course, the Ice Spirit that was trying to harm the inside also disappeared.
No, even if it remained, it could not properly convey its thoughts because the sound of the heavenly flowers could not reach it.
‘This is dangerous.’
The second of the three swords of Dharma, the light of the Tathagata.
It was truly an absolute defense, but it was also a terrifying offensive.
He was about to commit a crime by scattering all the ice spirits that he was touching, and Cheonhwa had no choice but to twist the performance he was continuing.
In the form of defense rather than offense.
To be exact, it was intended to counteract and block the energy of the Tathagata’s light.
‘That’s interesting.’
Although it wasn’t fast, the power that silently pushed away the Ice Spirit was truly warm and destructive, but the smile never left Cheonhwa’s mouth.
Admitting that the methods using the Ice Spirit Jade were not working, he inserted the Ice Spirit Jade Medicine into his waist and hugged the Iron Spirit Pipa behind his back.
“This one will be a little different.”
Cheonumshinkong
The Wind Chimes
Wind chimes
As Cheonhwa lightly played the iron lute, wind filled his hands. It wasn’t an attack. The fingers imbued with the spirit of wind were simply more free-spirited than before.
Cheonumshinkong
The Wind Chimes
Wind chime
It was the one that neutralized Namgung Se-ga’s ultimate move, but the much faster and rougher hand movements created an even more powerful whirlwind.
As the hand gestures became faster, the power of the wind chime also increased.
Chararararang!
There, the ice spirit energy that filled the cave reacted.
As if responding to the performance of the heavenly flower, it became intertwined with the energy of the wind chimes and became a new force.
“Ahem!”
Kugugugugugugugu-!
A clash of strength and strength.
The power of the ice spirit and the wind spirit collided with the light of the Tathagata saint.
But despite the enormous force, no violent clashes or impacts occurred.
There is only an underground fight going on, seemingly eating away at each other.
However, both Cheonhwa and Shinsung knew.
The moment they were pushed back here, the aftershock would be so great that even they would have difficulty handling it.
Diriririririring-
Kuhwaaaaaaaaaa-
The performance continues, and the bursts of light continue.
The power struggle continued without end, with neither side giving in.
One angle, two angles, half an hour… … .
The energy that poured out moment by moment was so great that it seemed like it could erase mountains, but there were monsters there that could continuously release that much energy for half an hour without tiring.
“Hoo!”
“Ahem.”
Then, at some point, Cheonhwa and Shinsung almost simultaneously withdrew their power.
It was not a matter of gradually adjusting and reducing the strength, but rather a recovery of strength.
Even though the opponent could have been completely exposed to the enormous amount of experience he had been competing with if he had continued the offensive, he withdrew at the same time without any conversation.
“I lost today.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Because my methods didn’t work at all. But, monk, don’t you have one more bite left?”
And the first one to mention defeat was Cheonhwa.
In the clash of powers that followed, Cheonhwa had not only displayed a few moves.
Starting with the Fengling Kyeophwa, there were over a dozen different techniques that could be used, and as the Iron Ring Pipa began to scream as if it was becoming increasingly difficult to endure, the clash was stopped.
From the beginning, I didn’t think that the Cheolryeong Bipa could fully contain the power of the wind chime, but it was quite a shame.
But I had no intention of making such excuses.
Cheonhwa meekly admitted his defeat, and pointed out that Shinsung had not yet shown the final form of the Daruma Samgeom.
The fact that he didn’t use it, which must have been more powerful than the two previous moves, means that he was dealing with himself with some leeway.
“Hehe. If that’s the case, I guess it’s better to call it a draw. You didn’t play the ‘euphemism’ either, did you?”
“… … !”
However, Shin Seung did not accept his victory easily.
Since it is a match that only the two of them know about, it is difficult to say that it has much meaning, but even so, it is still a victory.
There is such a thing as face, even if you don’t show it to anyone or let them know.
After accepting the victory, he could have told a different story, but he shook his head and said that there was something that Cheonhwa also couldn’t see.
“How do you… … .”
I didn’t tell anyone, and it was something no one knew about.
That Cheonumsingong is not just a martial art using musical instruments.
Up until now, Cheonhwa has only used his strength by spreading out his skills and techniques like eating dried persimmons for convenience, but the true power of Cheonum Shingong lies in accumulating it by completing a song.
However, Shin Seung recognized it and said that Cheon Hwa’s situation was no different from his own.
“Also, it doesn’t seem to be in perfect condition, so how can I say it was my victory?”
Moreover, he knew that his preparations were not complete.
Although there is an Ice Spirit Medicine, it is difficult to say that even one of them can fully display the Cheon-eum Shingong.
Although it was possible to use some of the power of the wind chimes through the iron bell, this too had its limits.
Other spirits may be able to be pulled out somehow, but they are difficult to use for a long time.
So, it was excluded from this match.
Because I decided that it was better not to use it at all than to use weak power that wouldn’t even last.
Then, could it be that Shin Seung knows about Cheon Eum Shingong?
Could it be true that the words of the master who took martial arts world by storm a long time ago were true?
The army of the Heavenly Flower has narrowed down.
At that time, Shin Seung added the last story.
“And in fact, the third sword was not unopened, but could not be opened. It was practiced, but not perfected. If it were to be shown so clumsily, it would only be embarrassing, so how could it be shown? So let’s call it a draw.”
The third form of the Dharma Sword.
That is, he couldn’t even complete it himself.
So, he reassured Cheonhwa by saying that it was not that he had not spread it, but that he had been unable to do so.
I thought he was just saying that to make me feel better, but it’s probably true.
The power of the lawless and infinite power of the Tathagata Seonggwang is power, but the enlightenment contained within it is something that has never been seen in the martial arts world before, and it is something that only someone like Cheonhwa can truly understand.
If it was the last form of martial arts of that level, it would have to have reached a higher level or contain something that could be a clue to that.
“By any chance, do you know the name of the third herb?”
“It is the opening of heaven and the opening of the world.”
The higher the level of martial arts, the more likely it is that the name will contain the meaning of a sword rather than a simple sword form, so it was worth keeping it a secret, but Shin Seung readily told him the name of the last form of the Daruma Samgeom.
Open the gates of heaven and enter a new world.
Cheonhwa seemed to vaguely understand what that herb meant.
Also, I realized that it was part of the Cheonumshinkong and not much different from the path I had to take.
The approach and form are different, but the goal is similar.
“Good. As a reward for your advice, I will give you a proper performance next time. It will take some preparation, but I hope you are not old. It won’t take too long, so you can look forward to it.”
“That sounds good. Once you’re ready, do you think there’s a way?”
“You’ll have to try to find out, but it’s something worth trying.”
Cheonhwa promised himself that he would at least reach that stage first and looked forward to the future.
When that day comes, it would be nice to properly fight against the Dharma Sword of the New World, but before that, I want to pour everything I have into fighting against him again.
To do that, it would first be necessary to reproduce the treasures of the temple, but fortunately, there was hope.
There are still some materials whose whereabouts we cannot even guess, but they definitely exist, so they must have been made, and fortunately, we heard last night that some of them had been confirmed.
“Yes. That’s right. This is stimulating. This place is quite boring and lonely. There’s nothing else to do besides practicing martial arts, and there are no suitable opponents. Don’t expect me. I’m planning on doing some training after a long time, so I hope you surpass me. I’m serious about this.”
Shin Seung’s expression also became younger at the sight of Cheon Hwa looking so confident.
I was thinking that perhaps it was because of that foolishness that I had spent so many years in a position where I was a lonely absolute being but could not easily reveal my power, that I was unable to complete the Dharma Samgum.
The appearance of Cheonhwa at that time was an extremely happy event for Shinseung as well.
It’s enough to make me want to try meditation again, which I had been avoiding for a while.
So the next time they met, Shin Seung would be stronger than he is now.
It is unclear whether the increase will be small or huge enough to surpass the realm, but since the methods have already been shown once, a similar increase will only lead to despair.
Cheonhwa also smiled knowingly.
It may have been that he was saving his strength, but it must have been a very happy thing for him to have someone to challenge him instead of his master, whom he had never thought of doing anything about.
“Of course I will. Then next time… … .”
“Just wait a minute.”
Cheonhwa, who was about to turn around with that excited mind, was stopped by Shinseung.
Then he started rummaging through his things and took out a worn-out book.
“Take it. It’s a gift.”
“… … ?”
Cheonhwa, who had a strange smell and took it with two fingers, read the title on the cover.
“Heart Sutra? Isn’t it the Prajna Shingong?”
The Heart Sutra.
It was a volume of Buddhist scriptures.
That’s why I even thought that maybe he had picked the wrong one. I knew that in Shaolin, there was definitely a new art called Banya Shingong.
I wondered if I had taken it out by mistake as it was a sutra with a similar name, but Shinseung just smiled brightly.
“The Ban Ya Shingong is definitely an outstanding martial art that represents Shaolin. However, you don’t need it, do you?”
“Well… … I guess that’s true?”
Cheonhwa doesn’t need any other new techniques.
Since he was a divine monk who had already confirmed the martial arts of Cheonhwa and confirmed it, he was convinced that there was no great meaning in teaching or allowing Cheonhwa to learn other divine arts regardless of the rules of the school.
“Then is there something hidden here? If you soak it in water or burn it, something else will appear?”
“No way. It’s just an ordinary manuscript.”
Therefore, no matter what the world values, to Cheonhwa now, a single line or sentence that could provide a starting point for enlightenment would be more important.
Shin Seung seemed to be saying that it was contained in this scripture.
“Ahem. I respect Buddhism, but I don’t really believe in it.”
“Hehehe. Do you think I’m giving it to you to preach some kind of Buddhist law? If so, I would have made you read the 600-volume Mahaprajna Paramita Sutra instead. So don’t feel burdened. After all, it’s a path toward Buddhist law, martial arts, or great enlightenment, so reading it will be helpful.”
Although Cheonhwa showed slight resistance to the idea of scriptures, Shinsung smiled and dispelled her doubts.
It is advised to think of it only as a reference book that brings to mind the starting point of enlightenment and the topic of discussion.
Since it was not that bad, I packed it up anyway.
It was only a few hundred characters long and a few pages long, so it wouldn’t take much time to read it, to the point where it’s embarrassing to even call it a book.
Normally, I would have just glanced at it and either thrown it away or burned it, but since it was given to me by Shinseung, I took it with me and headed back down the mountain.
“Lastly, one more piece of advice: Beware of those who are called the Three Kings and Three Ghosts in the martial arts world. They are those who harbor greater things than what is known and shown.”
“Well… … I’ll take that into consideration too.”
At that time, Shin Seung left his final advice, but Cheon Hwa just nodded lightly.
Of course, the martial arts of the Shaolin abbot and the overlord that I had seen with my own eyes were quite amazing, but I thought that even if they were hiding something, it would be difficult to do anything about myself.
Still, since it was Shinseung’s advice, I couldn’t just take it lightly, but it would be enough to just remember it.
In fact, there may be something that will cause you to run into them.
It’s probably a given that we’ll end up fighting the tyrant.
“Then should we speed things up a bit?”
Cheonhwa, who quickly descended the mountain using light air, joined up with Bukgungyeon and Noeryeong who were waiting.
I hurried down the Shaolin Mountain Gate from which everyone had left.
Shin Seung, who had been able to continue living a life that was not permitted by heaven due to his immense internal energy and enlightenment, in fact, it would not have been strange for him to pass away at any time, so he decided that he needed to move a little more quickly in order to properly decide the match again before that happened.
So the next goal was already set.
