Episode 309. Watch out
‘His Majesty might be a little surprised to see the two of you.’
Murong Hui thought as he looked at the two people sitting across from him. In a short period of time, Tang Ji Zhong and Zhuge Yingying had achieved remarkable results. They were so successful that they often invited him, the leader of the Suimengdan, to spar with them.
Of course, Murong Hui was not just sitting around all this time. He put in as much effort as Tang Ji-zhong and Zhuge Yingying.
However, the direction of their efforts was different. While the two men were digging a new well, Mo Yong-hui was more like stopping digging and going through a process of repairing the wall to prevent it from collapsing.
‘Still, I’m glad that my previous level of internal energy has almost been restored.’
Mo Yong-hui was lost in thought for a moment.
He is a direct blood relative of the extinct Murong family. On the day that his family was destroyed by Ma Guangcheon, he was able to escape death because he had other business and was away from Liaoning. As soon as he heard the rumor that all his family members had died, leaving not a single rat behind, he fled to the land of Sacheon.
The reason he went to Sacheon was simple. To him, Magwangcheonju Yeonjunghyuk was a betrayal of heaven. Many of his blood relatives, including his parents, lost their lives at his hands.
It was difficult to take revenge on Hana Yeonjunghyuk. He was a person with far-reaching achievements among the peerless masters of the extreme magic realm, known as the supreme being of the Central Plains magic. He was untouchable.
In addition, Murong Hui had mastered the power of the spirit of destruction and was in a state where his life was almost over. The secret recipe he obtained from the Sword Ghost Tomb clearly warned him. If someone who was not of the Dragon Power Body were to enter the power of the spirit of destruction, they would surely die young. Even without that warning, Murong Hui could feel his body deteriorating with each passing moment.
So Murong Hui’s choice could only be one. He would use his remaining life to destroy the Demonic Clan. Unlike the Murong Clan, which had been destroyed, the Tang Clan had succeeded in making a comeback, and he headed to Sichuan to join the Zhengtian Alliance founded by the local chieftain, Liang Yuanming.
And by chance, I learned that Dan-myung-myeong had inherited the martial arts of the swordsman. It couldn’t be anything but strange. Yes, I could make a hundred concessions and have the same name as the swordsman Murong Yeon-myeong. However, it was hard to accept, from a common sense perspective, that the head of the Sacheondang family, who had not yet become a vassal, could calmly learn the martial arts of the swordsman and reach a peerless state.
━When I was young, I suddenly fell into a world of fantasy. When I came to my senses, it was only a moment, but I had clearly spent decades in it. I met my master, learned his martial arts, and practiced swordsmanship endlessly.
━You may think my attitude is arrogant for my age, but I still remember my life in that imaginary world clearly. Sword Ghost… … Not only did I learn martial arts directly from the master, but I also cultivated for an absurdly long time, and as you can see, my accomplishments are also profound. That is why I am asking for death.
I heard the reason, but it was equally difficult to understand.
As a swordsman who had reached a certain level, Mo Yong-hui had also experienced falling into a world of imagination while training. A world of consciousness that flows at a completely different speed from reality. Isn’t sinking into that world called “losing oneself”?
It is said that those who have reached an incredibly high level easily experience drowsiness, but it is very rare for ordinary people who are not like that to experience drowsiness properly. This is because in order to fall into drowsiness, you have to maintain a high level of concentration to the extreme, and almost perceive the moment as if it were segmented. In the case of the martial artists, it often happens when they are making life-or-death decisions. This is because when they realize that their lives are on the line, they instantly exert the greatest amount of concentration.
It is not easy to fall into this kind of obsession, but more importantly, when you fall into obsession, you expend a lot of mental energy. In reality, it is only for a moment, but once you are immersed in the world of imagination, your consciousness continues to maintain extreme concentration. This means that your mental energy is worn down as much as the time you feel.
The name was on my lips for decades. In my childhood, it suddenly became like that.
That was why the word “nonsense” flashed through Mo Yong-hui’s mind. In order to pass on the swordsman’s martial arts in the world of the mind, he had to be able to handle the enormous amount of mental strength that was being lost every moment. Could a boy with barely a thick head be able to do that?
The question was not only that. The world of imagination is originally a world built on the basis of personal experience and enlightenment. Ignorance – that is, it is impossible to embody something that is not known at all. The limitation is that it can only bring out something that the person experiencing the world of imagination can imagine, or something that was latent in the back of the subconscious.
Of course, the answer to that question was obvious.
━I wonder if the reason I met my master was because of a memory that was latent in my subconscious. For example, something like a past life.
Although there were some things that were not clear, Mo Yong-hui had no choice but to accept it in the end. That Dang-myeong had properly followed the progress of the swordsman. Above all, there was no reason for him to lie.
━I have to throw it away, right now.
As soon as he recognized Mo Yong-hui as a death sentence, he examined his physical condition and said, “There is no other way.”
━It’s just a matter of time. You said you took a whole potion to strengthen your blood vessels. Thanks to that, you postponed your premature death. But that has reached its limit. If there’s ever a time when you have to fight with all your might, that day next year will be your anniversary.
The young executioner gave him advice in a calm tone. He told him to abandon the power of defeat, which is the basis of the swordsmanship of the swordsman, and the energy that weakens all things. That way, he could find a way to survive.
━… … .
Mo Yong-hui couldn’t answer rashly. He knew that it wasn’t a wrong answer. However, at the time, the swordsman’s martial arts were something he could never give up. Because of it, his family was ruined, and he had spent more than ten years learning it, and he wanted to use it to vent his resentment against the demonic path. Even if he knew that his life was in danger, he couldn’t make the decision to abandon it.
To him, Dang-myung said,
━I told you. This death sentence was not born with the ability to slow down. It was only in the world of the mind that I possessed the ability to slow down, and I was also taught martial arts by my master… … But when I opened my eyes, it was different. I had not learned the power of the mind in my current body. That was why it was obvious that I would die young. My realm was built on the basis of my family’s martial arts. Although I still use the sword technique.
It was a perplexing statement for Mo Yong-hui. He had studied the martial arts of the Sword Demon, but had not yet mastered the basics of the method of the power of the weaklings? How could that be possible? What was it that destroyed the indestructible body of Master Ja-un, who was called the Great Master of Diamond? Wasn’t it the power to destroy all things and the Shaolin self-defense force that was comparable to a diamond?
━That is a separate embodiment of the nature of the power of the weak. It is a power that can be embraced by the energy of the main house’s Dokyocheong Gwangsimbeop (毒要靑洸心法). It is possible for you too. Because you have personally experienced the power of the weak. The important thing is to reach a state where you can graft that image onto martial arts. That is, Hwagyeong.
Mo Yong Hui was shocked. Who would have thought that he could embody the swordsmanship of a swordsman in that way? However, reaching the Hwagyeong was not as easy as it sounds. Among the countless martial artists in the world, there were only a handful of people who had reached the Hwagyeong, known as the peerless master. Even with all the support—qualification, effort, martial arts of ascension, and even elixirs—it was difficult to guarantee success. Even in the Daebang Sect, there were very few places with more than two such beings. Why did the Black Lotus Pearl and the Magwang Heavenly Pearl become famous throughout the world? It was because they had reached the ranks of absolute power at such a young age.
That was why Mo Yong-hui had no choice but to hesitate. Could he abandon the martial arts he had accumulated throughout his life, start from scratch again, and achieve the lofty achievement of Jo Hwa-gyeong? To someone whose blood vessels were damaged and whose day of death was near, it seemed like a mere delusional expectation. No matter what kind of mind method he learned other than the mind method of weakness, his achievement would be as slow as that of a snail.
But then the obvious words followed.
━Priest. Please think about life rather than resentment.
━I can guess what you’re worried about. If you let go of the things you’ve been holding on to so tenaciously, you might end up with nothing. That’s probably what you’re afraid of. Building them up again will also feel hopeless and distant…
━It is not nothing. The path you have taken. A clear trajectory remains. I was the same as you. The accomplishments I made in the imaginary world disappeared, leaving only my wretched body. Despite that, I was able to easily reach my current state. Be confident. And look at the long term. Now that the main force has been established, I have no intention of sharing the same sky with the Demonic Clan. You too will not be able to resolve your deeply entrenched grudge just by catching a few demons, right? Build up your martial arts skills properly and reach your realm. By then, the Demonic Clan may have already been annihilated, but with that much martial arts, you may be able to revive the Murong Family.
Mo Yong-hui gained courage from the words of the young brother. After entering the cult, he scattered all the evil energy that had been eating away at his blood vessels from his dantian, and began to build up new energy with the Qian-kun-baek-jeol-sim-beop (乾坤百絶心法), a breathing technique of the whole universe. The evil energy that had spread like poison to every corner of his blood vessels and deep into his veins was surprisingly completely eliminated by his brother, Yu-myeong. They say he has a unique perspective on detoxification, and it seems to be true.
after that.
Mo Yong-hui stayed at the headquarters of the Zhengtian Alliance and practiced the same training as Tang Ji-zhong. He drew a sword path in his mind and swung the sword in his hand along that path without a single error. Sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly.
Although it was an unremarkable training, Mo Yong-hui took it seriously. The one who instructed the training was none other than Tang Yuanming, who inherited the martial arts of the Sword Demon.
Although Murong Hui started training later than Tang Ji Zhong, he soon achieved similar results, perhaps because he was skilled as a swordsman or because his familiar right arm was still intact.
On the other hand, the fact that the sword moved without the slightest deviation from what he intended gave him a strange sense of pleasure, and Mo Yong Hui was astonished to realize that the swordsmanship techniques he had previously used without much thought felt completely new. His knowledge of swordsmanship had deepened in an instant… …!
Also, perhaps because we always trained together in the training hall, Tang Ji-jung and I quickly became like-minded. I also exchanged glances with Zhuge Ying-ying, who quickly mastered the martial arts of Zhuge Family. Knowing that she had an excellent eye for detail and intelligence, I asked her for advice on training several times. It was quite effective.
In other words, Tang Ji-zhong and Jegal Yeong-yeong – the two people were the most trusted figures in the Jeongcheon Alliance by the current leader of the Su-maeng Alliance, Murong Hui. It could be said that they had both ability and friendship.
That’s why I called you here to discuss what to do going forward.
