Episode 467. Imperial Wind Cloud (1)
Hey profit!
The outstretched sword was very ferocious.
It was a quick and passionate sword fight. But inside, I felt the undisturbed sword path and the freedom to stretch anywhere.
It was an amazing martial art. It was not a matter of power, but the realization that contained the sword’s will was impressive. I felt a strong sense of self-consciousness that I could completely make it my own even if I trained his extremely difficult swordsmanship.
But the body can’t keep up with it. As time passed, breathing became disturbed, and as breathing became disturbed, gaps began to form in the sword path. The gap that was created once created more gaps without being able to go back to the previous one.
“Heo-eok! Huh!”
The sudden change in breathing was killing even the power of the sword.
If it was a sword dance for training, it would be meaningless to wield it any further. But the woman did not stop. More than her rough breathing, her complexion grew pale, but her eyes were as steady as ever.
how long has it been like that
hooked!
Unknowingly, the missing sword stuck into the ground.
“Huh!”
A face that was pale and pale. Her whole body trembled like an aspen tree. There was too little air in her body, and her whole body nerves were stimulated to the limit. It was in a very dangerous condition.
But that’s for a while.
“Hoo-wook! Whoop!”
Over time, breathing gradually returned to normal.
He obviously lost his ability to breathe, but he recovers it in an instant. The color of his blood reddened his face, and cold sweat began to form on his forehead.
“Suck!”
The woman, Joo Seo-yoon, stood up.
Woo woo woo.
When breathing returned, demonic energy like a haze rose from the body. In the past, with the permission of Lee Cheon-sang, it was a new skill, Rakshasagi (羅刹死氣).
It was a really great momentum. It was not something that could be shown at that age. He was already trying to cross the realm of transcendence at the age of his early twenties, a power that began to exceed human limits.
However, Ju Seo-yoon was not satisfied with her status.
“… … not there yet.”
she remembered She is the ultimate expert who has reached a level that she could not even dare to look at.
They were even siblings of a similar age to him. And one of them won the battle for succession and became the head of the Protestant religion of the time.
‘It’s already been a year since I reached this level. Still, I’m not growing any more. Before talent and hard work, something is missing.’
I’ve heard that 50,000 things have happened in Shingyo.
But she forgot the world. In the first place, she had no intention of becoming a religious leader.
Her dream was just to become a samurai warrior. To live completely immersed in the sea of martial arts, and to climb infinitely high because of it, was the reason for life and proof of existence.
That’s why I didn’t even care about death. Sometimes she would come to Jong-Ri-Young and ask if she was not anxious, but she was not at all anxious.
It’s because you have to be strong until the moment you are alive. So there is no regret in life. Even if her third brother, who became her leader, purged herself for her power, she would have no complaints.
All you have to do is run until the last moment. Even if he died at such a young age, it was enough to think that his martial arts would end there.
The only regret was the fact that they had been hanging around in the same place for a year.
“Isn’t it frustrating?”
Joo Seo-yoon turned around in surprise at the voice he heard from somewhere.
About a dozen feet away, under a large tree, stood a sturdy young man. His untrimmed hair was scattered carelessly, but the red dragon robe and clear eyes gave off a noble aura.
Joo Seo-yoon knelt down.
“Reign Seonggyo, Heavenly Demon Buddha. See the headmaster.”
Xi Liang didn’t tell me not to do that like usual. It was because he knew that Joo Seo-yoon would not change anyway.
“I am sorry. It was the same with Young, but I didn’t want to interrupt the practice.”
“no.”
Ju Seo-yoon’s expression was still hard.
This bluntness was incomparable to Dongpil Ma or Gogu. As a human being, there are definitely joys and sorrows, but innately, it seems that there is less emotional agitation than others.
“By the way, is that a scam?”
“yes.”
“It’s worth it. It seems like you haven’t learned it in a while, but you’ve already reached that level. You must have put in a lot of effort.”
“There is still nothing short of it.”
“That is also obviously true.”
Joo Seo-yoon raised her head and looked at Seo-ryang.
She had never once heard anyone say she was lacking. It’s Lee Cheon-sang. She was a non-standard existence in the first place. Even so, everyone who saw her was busy praising her talent.
But today, another person appeared who clearly told me that he was lacking.
Joo Seo-yoon did not want to miss this opportunity. Her ego was insignificant to her, and she wondered what her realm would look like to her demon lord, who had reached a level that she couldn’t even compare to herself.
Seo Liang smiled.
‘Should I call it pure or poisonous?’
After sending Jong Ri-young to Geogyeongga, I was thinking of going to see Joo Seo-yoon and Chae Yeo-min right away. But I had a lot of work, so I put it off and put it off, and now it came to me.
I was very sorry. She said that she came running like a dart, thinking what if she was trembling with anxiety.
But the worries were in vain. Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes were clear and deep. There was no fear of death or fear of the other person even after washing his eyes.
“The training from a little while ago.”
“yes?”
“For not letting go of the sword until my breathing stopped.”
“Ah yes.”
“I felt a strong desire to break through the limits. You have been through such extreme training for that. Is that right?”
“you’re right.”
“The method is good, but the purpose is wrong.”
Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes shook for the first time.
“that is… … what… … ?”

“There are many ways to cultivate, whether it be martial arts or academics. Like you, there are ways to push the body to its limit, and it’s also a good way to expand the realm of thinking by beating yourself up. There are countless ways to become strong in the world.”
Xu Liang pointed at her hand with her chin.
Her fair hands were stained with blood. Even after reaching that level, she practiced training until her palms were torn. It was a terrible passion.
“The important thing is the purpose.”
“… … ?”
“What was the training you did just now for?”
Joo Seo-yoon answered immediately.
“It is to become stronger.”
It was her answer indeed.
Seo Liang smiled.
“yes. Everyone trains so hard to become strong. But you’ve gone too far.”
“far… … Rani?”
“Your goals aren’t specific. Such training, in which breathing collapses and the body is on the brink of death, aims at life-and-death.”
“… … !”
“Is that training the training you need right now? Or are you just drifting aimlessly, struggling to cross the sea of nothingness?”
“I am… … .”
“Do you know why I learned the narcissus? Why did your swordsmanship become so ferocious? What are you going to do with that ferocious swordsmanship? Have you thought about what kind of martial arts you will learn after you have mastered the raksal sagi?”
“I-I just… … .”
“Why are you learning martial arts? Why do you want to become stronger?”
Xi Liang’s eyes sank deeply.
“Why are you struggling so desperately?”
Joo Seo-yoon could not answer.
Because it was something I had never thought about before. To be precise, I had thought about it in the past, but soon forgot the reason because it didn’t matter.
“There are times when a person who has finished reading the Four Books and Three Classics often looks into the Thousand Characters, the basic of the basics. There may be many reasons, but it must be because even he who has his own knowledge has something to learn from the basics.”
“… … .”
“Even though you have read all the three classics, you are still studying the Thousand Characters. But I don’t know why I study it. want to be strong? You can’t end it with that. There must be a clear purpose for the part you study and train.”
Seo Liang shook his head.
“Did I tell you before? You see the world too narrowly. They are confined to the word “strength” and are depriving themselves of room for further growth.”
“… … !!”
“He who is trapped in the forest does not know how big the forest is. It’s great to find a dream that will set your life on fire, but you don’t even know why you’re going to achieve it. How could such a person see the extreme?”
“I am… … What should I do?”
“Put down your sword.”
“yes?!”
“It means to look back at yourself why you are so obsessed with strength. Whether it was because he didn’t want to be ignored or if he just liked martial arts, it didn’t matter for any reason. You must find a clear reason why you are the way you are.”
Seo Liang pointed at Ju Seo-yoon’s head.
“And that ridiculous training, even after holding a sword again, it’s better to stop. Repeating the practice of stopping the supply of oxygen to the body every time with a body that has not reached the extreme is indeed a tremendous strain. The body is also the body, but it is a training that can directly hit the brain in particular.”
“… … .”
“In other words, it means that you have not considered the purpose of your training, nor the preparations for how your body will be damaged by the training.”
Joo Seo-yoon’s eyelids trembled.
Acquisition of strength, it was a life that ran solely for it. So there was no training that he hadn’t touched.
It was painful enough to be described as penance. However, it is said that such penance was meaningless.
Seoyoon Joo felt shy for the first time since holding the sword.
The second question was whether Xi Liang was right. The moment I tried to understand what he was saying, he was able to understand me deeply.
In other words, it meant that she had lived her life thoroughly excluding the words of others. All the while, she wondered to herself why she wouldn’t listen.
‘Pride? no. I just… … .’
He was subconsciously obsessed with the fact that he was right.
Maybe it was swept around. He’s been told he’s a genius so many times that he thinks he’s a real genius and doesn’t need to listen to anyone.
The important thing is that the path you are walking right now is wrong. He needed to completely change his mind beyond missing something.
‘… … .’
Suddenly, I felt as if all my limbs were losing strength.
It seemed as if the current state built up through martial arts and asceticism, which had been maintained with a strong ego, was completely crumbling.
Joo Seo-yoon unknowingly sat down. She could hardly come to her senses from the great shock she felt for the first time in her life.
“Is it hard?”
“… … yes.”
It was an honest answer.
Seo Liang smiled. Now, Joo Seo-yoon was not able to continue his thinking properly.
But now I’m qualified. The caterpillar, which had surrounded itself tightly with a huge iron wall, finally realized its limits and began to swell its body to attach wings.
“It’s good to take a break when you’re tired. But you don’t seem to have any desire to rest, do you?”
Joo Seo-yoon lifted her head helplessly.
Seo Liang held out his hand.
“Swing the sword later, do you want to play with me for a while?”
“yes?”
“There are as many things as there are mountains to do from now on, so I’m asking if you’d like to add a hand to them.”
Joo Seo-yoon couldn’t help but hold Seo-ryang’s hand.
