Before I knew it, Mo Kyung-un and Dam Baek-ha, known as the Blood Saints of the Nine Blood Religions, were walking side by side through the cave passage.
Dam Baek-ha, who had lost his cool as before and regained his composure, spoke to Mok Gyeong-un.
“You said you only need to steal it from one person, right?”
“yes.”
“Be sure to keep your contract.”
“sure. “If you take him alone, I will let you meet the teacher who taught me the Gyeongshin method.”
“joy.”
At Mok Gyeong-un’s words, Dambaekha crossed his arms and snorted as if he was not trustworthy.
That’s right, he was so emotional earlier that he seemed weak, but I still couldn’t trust this guy for sure.
I don’t know why, but I can’t feel the sincerity in everything this guy says.
Even when I smile, I don’t know if it’s a real emotion or not.
I’ve been around for a long time, but this is my first time seeing a guy like this.
As they were walking down the aisle, Dambaekha frowned and said.
“You…the skin on your chin?”
I could see it being piled up little by little.
Mo Kyung-un touched the area and let out a light breath.
I don’t know if it was because of the competition or because I didn’t have enough medicine, but the skin around my chin was pushed up.
Accordingly, Mok Gyeong-un said,
-All the way!
He pulled at his skin and showed her.
Normal skin has elasticity, but this stretch was something different.
Dambaekha saw this and said with narrowed eyes.
“Bat cotton?”
“yes. “This was the easiest way to sneak in here.”
“If you do that, it means it’s not your real face.”
“yes.”
Hearing this, Dambaekha clicked his tongue and said, “That’s right.”
For some reason, even though he didn’t even have a contract, he was very skilled in martial arts and his mental strength was also exceptional.
Perhaps there was an older face hidden inside.
Then Mok Gyeong-un spoke.
“Can I ask you something too?”
“What do you mean?”
“I heard that if you are from a blood religion, you are a Gumurim. How many years have you been imprisoned?”
“Gumurim?”
Dambaekha tilted his head slightly.
It was the first time he had heard this expression.
She asked this.
“What on earth are you talking about?”
“Literally. Should we call it the martial arts of the past? “I heard that the level of martial arts in the past was much higher than it is now.”
“Previous? iced coffee…….”
At these words, Dambaekha’s eyes became strangely bitter.
Was it reminding me of some bad past?
While I was inwardly wondering, she said.
“She has been trapped here for so long that she has no sense of time or anything. We don’t even know if it’s been decades or hundreds of years. However, if you say that Gumurim is the golden age of martial arts, then that would also be correct. However, as the generations passed after ‘that person’ came to the fore, everything changed.”
“Lightship?”
“……Don’t you know the term fable and line?”
“Fable light ship?”
Mo Gyeong-un’s eyes narrowed.
Uhwadeungseon (羽化登仙).
If translated literally, it means that after realizing the Tao, a person becomes a hermit and ascends to heaven.
This can be interpreted in several ways.
Some say that an outstanding Taoist enters the realm of enlightenment, while others say that he or she truly realizes the Tao and enters the world of good spirits.
Deungseon, which Cheongryeong taught to Mok Gyeong-un, also meant that the Martial people gained enlightenment through martial arts and entered the world of Seon.
‘Light line…..’
There was someone who spoke of a deeper truth about this kind of ascending line.
To be exact, it was a being called the Three Eyes, which was more of a monster than a human being.
Suddenly, I remembered what he said before he disappeared.
[Shinsu? In the first place, it cannot exist in this world. When the spirit power reaches that level, it deviates from nature.]
[Natural?]
[Do you not know what is natural?]
[what is that?]
[It is natural to support this world. Actually, it is difficult for humans to tell that.]
[You speak vaguely.]
[Natural law is natural. If you leave that area, you have no choice but to go to the other side of the border due to nature.]
[Beyond the border?]
[okay. The same logic would apply to this. Humans have become enlightened through repeated awakenings and have considered crossing boundaries as a natural path.]
Thinking of this, Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes lit up with a strange look.

‘You actually climbed the mountain?’
Sam-an and Cheong-ryeong also spoke of this as if it were almost a legend.
It seems like it would be difficult to achieve in reality.
But just how outstanding was the ‘him’ that Dambaekha spoke of that he naturally crossed over to the other side of the border?
What is certain is that for the strange beasts, it is said that one can only cross the border by reaching a divine beast, so the being called ‘him’ can surpass even the spiritual beasts called the Six Demons, who are infinitely close to divine beasts. do.
Mok Gyeong-un, who was curious about this, asked.
“Who is this person who made it to the top?”
“Him?”
At this question, she looked at Mo Kyung-un with strange eyes.
Then he said clearly.
“I don’t think that’s what you’re going to hear yet.”
“yes?”
“She has not met your teacher yet. “You know what that means, right?”
“Ahhh.”
It meant not trusting yourself.
I’m not the type of person who is very interested in anything other than revenge, but I was curious about who that person was, and I felt quite disappointed.
Then she said to Mok Gyeong-un.
“As you said, if your teacher truly knows the true value, he will find out sooner or later, so there is no need to fret.”
“…….okay. “Can I ask you one more thing?”
“One other thing?”
“yes.”
“Do you think the woman you saw will answer?”
“That must be your heart. “I’m actually just asking this because I’m curious.”
“Just curious?”
“yes. “You said earlier that you were not allowed to eat anything for decades to get you to open your mouth. Is that true?”
The woman Mok Gyeong-un experienced was not someone who would tell lies.
It was said that such a person could survive for decades without eating anything, but his physical condition was not like that at all.
Even on the outside, he still looks like he’s in his twenties.
Moreover, if you combine what she said along the way, it seemed as if she was not an ordinary person but a being close to immortality.
At this, she looked at Mo Gyeong-un disapprovingly and opened her mouth.
“Why are you also interested in longevity and eternal life?”
Mok Kyung-un answered this question without hesitation.
“Not really.”
“what?”
“Is there much benefit in being interested in such things?”
“profit? Are you saying that being able to continue your life permanently is not a benefit?”
“Is that really a benefit?”
“……..”
“Isn’t it closer to a curse if life continues forever and endlessly?”
‘!!!!!’
Dambaekha’s eyes trembled at Mok Gyeong-un’s question.
At the same time, a memory from a long time ago passed through my mind.
A city in Liaoning Province that was almost in ruins with countless corpses.
Dambaekha, who was covered in blood, was shocked to see his severed arm reborn.
[What… is this?]
I thought that once my arm was cut off, it would never recover.
No, it was impossible for the arm to grow back in the first place.
While she was so surprised, an old man with a pale white face and a bachelor-like air came up to her and clicked his tongue.
[Did you drink that?]
[Elder?…What if that is it?]
[It’s the blood of a spirit creature.]
[If you say blood… do you mean the blood of that monster?]
[I see.]
[ah!]
Her eyes trembled at those words.
Now that I think about it, I think I unintentionally drank the blood that came out when I cut off one of the heads of that lightning-spewing monster.
After that, I lost consciousness due to the pain burning my entire body.
To this she said:
[……I think so. Is that why your arm got better?]
[Maybe so.]
[If you do this, it will also affect other injured people…..]
[Don’t do that.]
[Uh, why? If you drink the blood of that monster, your body will…..]
[Nine out of ten, no, ninety-nine out of one hundred die without being able to survive.]
[yes? What does it mean to die?]
[In addition to you, most of those who drank the blood of spirit creatures by mistake or even by accident were unable to survive and died.]
With those words, the old man pointed to the charred dead people around the spirit creature.
They all had their blood vessels exploded and looked like they were dead.
‘!?’
[It seems that the blood of spirit creatures is not something that ordinary humans can withstand.]
[Um…why me?]
[It seems like luck was upon you.]
[Heavenly luck……]
Was he really lucky?
The old man tapped her shoulder and said to her in a daze.
[I don’t know if this will really be heavenly luck or poison, but if this is your destiny, accept it.]
[What do you mean when you say it will be poisonous?]
In response to her question, the old man stroked his beard and said something as if he felt sorry for her.
[According to the lost old secretary of Shanhaigyeong, there is a saying that those who eat the blood or essence of spirit creatures with the spiritual power of the five elements will live forever.]
[Immortal life?]
[That’s right. You, too, have a very high chance of living forever.]
[But why is it called poison? Isn’t it rather a blessing?]
[blessing? Hehehe.]
At these words, the old man laughed heartily with an unknown expression.
While I was wondering, the old man stopped laughing and said,
[Living long is not a blessing. It’s closer to a curse.]
[curse?]
[That’s right. It’s a curse. Why do you think this guy, who was seemingly immortal, left you and his blood descendants behind?]
[…….why?]
[It’s because I can’t bear it every time my precious people leave my side one by one.]
[……..]
[In a way, his choice might be wise.]
At the time, she understood something about the old man’s words, but it didn’t make much of an impact.
It was simply because they thought that eternal life was a blessing.
However, as I have lived for a long time, I have now fully realized the meaning of what the old man said.
‘……This guy.’
Dam Baek-ha, who was looking at Mo Gyeong-un, stuck out his tongue inwardly.
I have never lived a long life and have never experienced the things that come with it. I would never have thought that he would do exactly what Senior Noh said to him.
If it weren’t for the mission given to him, he too might have ended this harsh life in some way.
So she said to Mok Gyeong-un.
“You…what do you know when you say something like that?”
“well. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to live alone for a long time and have everyone around you die.”
“……”
She let out a sigh at Mok Gyeong-un’s answer.
I felt really foolish.
I see how people take this for granted without having to experience it.
She let out a long sigh and then spoke to Mok Gyeong-un.
“You are truly wise. You are right. This is not a blessing, it is literally a curse. “If she hadn’t lived forever, she wouldn’t have had to suffer like this…”
-Startle!
At that time, Dambaekha stopped what he was saying and looked somewhere.
It was on the right side of the cave’s crossroads.
Coincidentally, Mok Kyung-un was already looking there before she did that.
‘This?’
-Gooooooo!
In the darkness, a deep, evil energy was coming out, along with an incredible killing power.
At the same time, someone was coming towards them.
-Jump, jump, jump!
Dambaekha said to Mok Gyeong-un at the sound of footsteps.
“…….Not an ordinary person. “Can you feel it?”
“Yes.”
I looked at that place with wary eyes, and soon the figure appeared in the area illuminated by the torch.
He is none other than
“Zhou Yunxiang?”
It was Cadet Joo Hyang.
However, Zhou Yunxiang’s condition was not as usual.
Not only was his eyes emitting a strange glow, but the evil energy emanating from his entire body had caused his originally clean and clear innate energy to disappear everywhere.
Wondering what had happened, Tanbaekhe couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw the unusually shaped sword in Zhou Yunxiang’s hand.
“What about that sword?”
At her words, Mok Kyung-un’s eyes also turned to that place.
Although it was covered with evil energy, a great power could be felt from the sword.
“Do you know that?”
She spoke to the puzzled Mok Kyung-un in a lowered tone, as if warning her.
“It’s Gyeopsal, the magic sword of Guyaja.”
‘!!!!!!’
