Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 504. Bulgongdaecheon (不共戴天) (4)

“Hmm.”

Xuan Tianjin’s eyes deepened.

A night past midnight. The starlight pouring in from outside the window was etched in my eyes very clearly.

It was an unusually bright starry night. Each one was different in size and intensity of light, but none of them were lacking in beauty.

He looked at the seven angled stars among them.

“Hehe, seven stars.”

Hyeon Cheon Jin-in smiled innocently without even realizing it.

“Is it because he made up his mind, or is it because the sky already knew the heart of an old man whose teeth were about to grind, that he stands out among those beautiful stars?”

I could tell without saying anything or listening.

Now the time has come.

The boiling high fever disappeared as if it were a lie, and my trembling fingertips became very stable.

It seemed as if I could cross from one peak to the other in a month if I kicked the ground and ran, and the clouds seemed as if they would be surprised and disperse with just one exciting sword dance.

I felt like I could do everything. It felt like I could get my hands on everything.

It’s time. Finally, now.

Hyeon Tian Jin-in closed his eyes.

I’m sorry.

“huh?”

Joo Seo-yoon came with a water bowl and looked around.

“grandfather?”

Hyeon Cheon Jin-in disappeared.

Jiyiing.

The demon sword cried.

The Ink King and the Black Blood are one name and at the same time share one life. Since he was one of the best new recruits and horsemen in the world, it was not uncommon for the sword himself to cry.

But there has never been a time when it resonated as deeply and profoundly as it did today.

A deep sound that no one else can hear and only Ma Dong-pil can hear.

‘Why are you doing this?’

Ma Dong-pil looked puzzled and grabbed his sword.

Ugh.

As soon as I delivered some magical energy, the swordsmanship subsided.

But the tremors still remained. It seemed to have calmed down to some extent thanks to the master’s magical power, but Geommyeong didn’t know how to stop.

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes wavered.

‘Are you scared?’

Yes.

I don’t know if the sword had an ego, but Ma Dong-pil thought that the black blood demon sword was trembling with fear. Such was the whisper of the sword to its owner.

‘The black blood is scared. why?’

It was then.

“It’s okay.”

Ma Dong-pil, startled, turned around.

There was Hyeoncheonjin, standing with his back to me.

“Elder…?”

“I’m sorry for coming to you without knowing. “Are you very surprised?”

Of course I was surprised.

A ray of concern appeared on Ma Dong-pil’s face, which had been colored with embarrassment.

“Are you okay? “It’s windy because it’s in the mountains.”

Hyeon Cheon Jin-in’s smile deepened.

“You are truly a gentle person.”

“yes?”

“I haven’t even had a few proper conversations with you. But I knew it before. “Your gentle nature.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“You joined the Demonic Martial Forest and eventually became the sect’s guard warrior. But I can tell. “Whether you devoted yourself to the magic path or the righteous path, you would have shown yourself to be no different from how you are now.”

“….”

“You are a good person. “I guarantee it.”

Ma Dong-pil scratched his head in embarrassment.

I felt like I received a huge compliment, but I had nothing to say. Because I never thought of myself as such a good person.

Xuan Tianjin laughed loudly.

“Later, if you are interested, you can also take an interest in Tao. Looking at your physiognomy, it seems that you have no connection with Taoist Buddha, but it may still be able to bring a ray of peace to your frustrated mind.”

“Oh yeah.”

Why?

Ma Dong-pil found it increasingly difficult to face Hyeon Cheon-jin. I didn’t particularly think of him as a difficult person, but now it was especially difficult to make eye contact.

Hyeoncheonjinin looked at the black blood demon sword hanging on Ma Dongpil’s belt.

Wooooow.

The name of the sword grew noticeably larger. Ma Dong-pil was embarrassed and grabbed the sheath of his sword.

“sorry. “The sword was from earlier…”

Ma Dong-pil said without knowing what he was sorry for. And he didn’t even realize he had said that.

Hyeon Tian Jin-in sighed lightly.

“I hope.”

“yes?”

“I hope and hope. You have a strong character that will not be shaken even if you are drenched in the blood of a thousand people. You will not be swayed by the magic power of that magic sword. However, it would not be a good thing if there were too many occasions to draw that sword.”

“Ah…”

“I hope you will have fewer occasions to pull out the magic sword. “Before you kill your enemy, think twice, and if possible… I hope you treat your enemy with mercy, just like Taengjung said.”

Hyeon Cheon Jin-in smiled again.

“You can do well. “I have no doubt about it.”

I felt like I didn’t know what to do.

Ma Dong-pil, who was scratching his head, soon bowed his head.

“I will heed the elder’s words to heart.”

“….”

“Elder?”

Ma Dong-pil looked up and was surprised. Before we knew it, Hyeoncheonjin had disappeared.

“Where have you been?”

“Whoa.”

Seo-ryang, who had made Yeo Kang-hwi realize a great deal with his teachings and dances that were far beyond that of a single Si-jin, opened his sleeves.

“How can this be so hot?”

This is why geniuses are scary.

I don’t know what Yeo Geuk-do said, but Yeo Kang-hwi tried to break out of his shell based on those words.

But it didn’t work out. This is because their view of the world was narrow-minded.

When I broke that narrow-mindedness and forcibly poured out martial arts to instill enlightenment into my body, the icy white radish that poured out began to change at an alarming rate.

Of course, there was no way he could be Seoliang’s opponent. The problem was the speed of change.

‘I guess it’s still too much. But…’

I set the frame.

The river that was supposed to flow through the wall continued to flow parallel to the wall. For example, Seoryang determined the correct direction in which the river should flow.

Of course, being caught doesn’t mean you’ll be caught. But Yeo Kang-hwi caught it. In an instant.

“It’s a talent sent from heaven… but the world isn’t fair.”

At that time, I heard a pleasant voice.

“The world isn’t fair, but it’s also rough and tough, so there’s no way to miss out on anything. “The emergence of this and the disappearance of that all have their own meaning.”

Seo-ryang turned around and spoke calmly.

“Is it worth moving?”

Hyeon Cheon Jin-in smiled comfortably.

“Did you know?”

“well? I wasn’t sure. I don’t even know if I can use the word ‘confidence’ in something like this. “I just thought it would definitely happen.”

Xu Liang glanced at the third floor of Julu.

“Since Seo-yoon took care of her with such sincerity, isn’t it normal for her to shake herself off and wake up?”

“haha.”

Hyeoncheonjin’s laughter was very pleasant to hear.

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

“That’s fascinating.”

“What do you mean?”

“Senior Noh’s Sangsangjeon (上丹田) is shining brighter than ever.”

“Do you see that?”

“Look. “From Sandangjeon, which shines as clear as the sun, a thread comes down and holds the expedition tightly in its grip.”

“Amazing. “I didn’t know you had already opened your divine eyes.”

“new idea?”

“The word is the divine eye. In the end, it should be seen as an extension of the mind’s eye. However, the reason you can see my condition so clearly is also thanks to the superpower given to me by Taengjung.”

“Right.”

Xu Liang sighed.

“I guess he launched his final expedition using his spiritual power, which had reached its peak.”

“I didn’t know that was possible.”

Once an expedition is broken, it is difficult to restore it. Those who have cultivated their energy to the limit, such as Jeoksong or Hyeoncheonjinin, may be able to receive treatment and live a while longer, but usually they die on the spot as soon as the expedition disappears.

In that respect, Hyeoncheonjinin showed an amazing performance again.

After tightening the once broken expedition guard with sticky force, he faked his body’s revival and broke it again with the power of Dan Sangjeon.

Two consecutive away openings. It was also a complete opening that touched a much deeper place than before.

You can use almost infinite power, but no miracles happen this time. The power consumption will also be much faster.

It was a method that no one could have tried if he were not a great warrior worthy of the nickname of God along with the red pine that could only be used by Hyeoncheonjinin.

There was a look of sadness on Seo-ryang’s face.

“Are you going?”

“That’s right.”

Hyeontianjin looked to the northwest.

“The shaman’s mountain from far away is calling to me. “The Seven Stars were heading there today.”

“….”

“If not now, when? Suddenly a thought occurred to me. “That one thought took on a large, concrete form and led me to enlightenment.”

“form?”

“Now is the time to escape from this body that I have worn for so many years.”

It is time to leave the body.

A look of turbulence appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.

“Myth….”

“It’s not a myth. I couldn’t look into that deep, deep abyss. “I didn’t have the courage or feel the need to do it.”

“….”

“But I could see it from where the abyss begins.”

“That alone is amazing.”

“I didn’t do anything. It’s all thanks to you guys loving and caring for me. “If I hadn’t done that, I don’t know how I would have even set foot there.”

Hyeoncheonjinin burst out laughing.

“You also heard what Daengjoong said, right? Since I realized that I have strayed from the path, isn’t that also enlightenment? “I told you that one day I would reach heaven.”

“I remember.”

“What Daengjung said was both right and wrong. Unlike Dingjung, I swung my sword at evil and shouted at the devil. “My enlightenment was accompanied by killing.”

“I guess so.”

“I had no attachment to the path of enlightenment. “I didn’t think I deserved it.”

“….”

“But what is happening? “Is this what you were thinking while crossing the central plains under your care?”

“What did you think?”

“The Tao is in all things, and all things are the Tao, so wouldn’t the Tao be open to all, regardless of whether they are humans or animals? But why was I only regretting the past and ignoring the starlight shining above my head?”

Hyeon Cheon Jin-in burst into laughter.

“The blood on your teacher Lee Cheon-sang’s hands is immeasurable. However, he has reached the point where he becomes one with the sky. “What’s different about me?”

“….”

“The moment I realized that, I saw Chilseong outside the window. “At that moment I was able to stand in front of the abyss.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“What do you wish for?”

“There is nothing I wish for.”

“What are you looking at?”

“There’s nothing to see.”

“What are you listening to?”

“I tried to listen, but it went away.”

“Where are you headed?”

Hyeon Tian Jin-in smiled.

“I will go to Seonsan (仙山), which gave me the name of Hyeoncheon, the place where I was born.”

He could not become one with heaven. I didn’t get that much enlightenment.

But at least he was able to become one with the mountain where he was born and raised. That was the realization he gained.

And Hyeoncheonjinin was satisfied with that. There was much more enlightenment to be gained in this life, but I did not want any more enlightenment.

Because he himself is already Wudang Mountain.

“Come to Wudang Mountain. Come and test your fate.”

Xi Liang took control with moderation.

“I am Seoryang, the 36th leader of the Heavenly Demon Church. “It was an honor to spend time with you.”

Hyeon Cheon Jin-in’s gun fist was soft.

“The son of the mountain, born and raised in a martial arts shaman, expresses his gratitude to the Heavenly Demon of this era. “It was an honor to be with your soul.”

The two people raised their heads.

At the same time, one person disappeared.

Xiliang looked up at the sky. Just as Hyeoncheonjinin said, the light of the Seven Stars was very bright today.

“Rest in peace.”
