“···I can’t believe it.”
Manbaknogoe looked at his face reflected in the pond.
The dark spots that had covered his face had all disappeared, and his body, which had been dying, was filled with strength. He felt like he could pull out a rock and throw it at any moment.
Above all, the broken danjeon was repaired and looked like new.
“···You’re really alive. This tenacious life still hasn’t ended and···.”
A teardrop gathered in Manbaknogoe’s wrinkled eye.
I thought I had completely lost it all when I was about to die, but I ended up miraculously surviving. I shed a few tears out of my eyes.
The old man came up to me and said.
“You like it so much that you can’t help but cry? Even you, Master, are secretly a materialistic person.”
“···You punk. In times like this, a disciple should pretend not to know.”
“What a great opportunity! If not now, then when will I have the chance to play again?”
“This guy!”
The teacher and student, who had been bickering for a while, soon looked at each other and giggled.
There were only two people in the cave. Lily had gone back to her room because she might get caught if she was away for too long.
The great man asked Manbaknogoe.
“How’s your martial arts? Will you be able to recover to your previous level right away?”
“Hmm···.”
Manboknogoe’s expression darkened slightly as he gauged Danjeon’s internal energy.
“There’s quite a bit of scattered internal energy.”
“You can just refill it. There are elixirs all over the place.”
As he said this, the man looked around the pond. Around the pond, all kinds of magical plants were blooming, exuding a mysterious energy.
But Manbaknogoe shook his head, saying that was not the only problem.
“The Heavenly Demonic Art cannot be used with internal energy alone.”
The Heavenly Demonic Art, known as the greatest divine and magical art in the world.
The secret was to use internal energy and magic energy together within the body to bring about a synergistic effect, which was different from any other martial art.
Therefore, even within the Cheonmasingyo, only those of the Cheon (天) family bloodline, who were born with a significant amount of magical energy in their bodies, could learn the Cheonmasingong.
Although there were occasional children from other families who were born with magical powers, they were extremely rare and the cult leaders were always from the Celestial Family.
“···But the cult leader took all my magic away.”
Manbaknogoe smiled bitterly.
If there was even a little bit left, he would have tried to summon it somehow, but there was not a single speck of magic left in his body.
‘···It would be greedy to hope for even that, saving one’s life.’
“I’m sorry. I don’t think I can be of much help.”
The Heavenly Demonic Art that could not be used in conjunction with magic was only half-baked.
Even with just half of that, it could be called first-class martial arts, but it wasn’t enough when the opponent was a Heavenly Demon.
‘This is a bit unexpected.’
The expression on the man’s face hardened slightly. It was difficult because the Manbaknogoe, who should have been the greatest force, was not able to fight properly.
“Is there really no way?”
Manbaknogoe shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he said.
“Instead, I will teach you the secret and beginning of the Heavenly Demonic Art.”
“The Heavenly Demonic Art?”
Manbaknogoe nodded.
“You may not be able to master it, but knowing the basics and basic rules will be of great help when dealing with the cult leader.”
Cheonma Shingong was a martial art that could only be learned by humans who had magical energy within their bodies.
Furthermore, since the Great Man had already mastered the Pacheon Shingong, which was a martial art no less powerful than the Cheonma Shingong, Manbok Nogoe had not yet taught the Great Man his martial arts.
“I will recite the Heart Law Sutra first, so listen carefully.”
Manbaknogoe taught the great man the secret of the Heavenly Demonic Art and showed him the way to move his internal energy and magic energy through the blood vessels of his entire body.
“It has a lot of similarities to Pacheonshinkong.”
“Keep on going. That’s why the saying, ‘If someone refuses to listen, they will die.’”
The two most powerful martial arts, Cheonma Shingong and Pacheon Shingong, had many similar aspects.
Therefore, the great man was able to understand the secrets of the Cheonma Shingong without difficulty.
“I’m saying this out of concern, but you shouldn’t teach the Heavenly Demonic Art to anyone else but you. You won’t be able to learn it anyways···.”
“······.”
“I will now teach you the martial arts techniques one by one. Watch carefully.”
Manbaknogoe walked to an open space. He demonstrated various martial arts, including the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique and the Heavenly Demon Lord Rimbo, one by one, in preparation for the great man’s fight with the cult leader.
After a fierce demonstration of martial arts, Manboknogoe looked back at the great man while catching his breath.
“Huh… Did you see it properly?”
The man had his eyes closed. Manbaknogoe’s eyebrow twitched when he saw that.
“This guy?”
The moment he strode towards me and was about to hit the back of his disciple’s head,
“Can this work?”
The man said as he opened his eyes.
“What the hell are you doing, you idiot! Your master is teaching you martial arts, so you close your eyes and do something else?”
“They say you have become a Heavenly Demon.”
“···what?”
“Look at this.”
The great man raised the Heavenly Demonic Power and told him to see it with his own eyes.

-Kwakwakwakwakwa!
A unique, tyrannical aura of the Heavenly Demon God flowed out over the great man’s body.
Although the achievement was low, it was clearly a Heavenly Demonic Power.
“omg!”
The startled Manbaknogoe unconsciously tried to hit the man’s head. He screamed.
“You punk! Why is that happening!”
WHEEK!
The man easily dodged the attack and moved to the side. Just a month ago, he would have been unable to dodge it, but not anymore.
The man grumbled with a look of disbelief.
“Me too. Why is it so hard even though I learn as you teach me?”
“No, that’s not it···. Heh···. Heh heh···.”
Manbaknogoe stared blankly at the man with his mouth wide open. If Lily had been there, she might have tried to put her finger in her mouth.
“···This doesn’t make sense. Up until now, I’ve never learned the Heavenly Demonic Art outside of Cheon Ga···. This is impossible···. How can this···.”
“I think it’s probably because of this.”
The man turned his right palm toward the ceiling and called out to the spirit in his mind.
‘Are you just waking up now?’
When he fought the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult, the Great Man felt a tingling sensation all over his body. His right hand in particular was so severe that he dropped his sword.
At the time, I simply thought that the other person’s energy was exposed, but it seems that wasn’t everything.
[···Yeah.]
A sleepy voice was transmitted into the man’s head.
The spirit of the great man, the Agui, who swallowed the highest spirit in North Korea and fell asleep, has awakened from his slumber.
Slowly.
A magpie appeared on the palm of the man’s hand. It had a plump appearance like an overturned pudding.
The guy yawned with his mouth wide open.
[I slept well.]
‘It’s clearer than before.’
Whereas before it had been blurry and translucent, now it was solid and clear, like a real entity.
“This is···.”
Manbaknogoe looked at the spirit summoned by the great man with a blank expression.
“I never thought such a dense and pure magic could exist… Disciple. What on earth are you doing?”
“Well. An Earthling who was lucky enough to pick up a spirit and raise it with the dark attribute?”
“···I don’t understand a single word you are talking about.”
It would have been complicated to explain everything to everyone.
‘I went to the continent of Gaia and picked up an artificial spirit, but when I killed a superhuman who used dark powers, the thing ate the powers, and then I went to North Korea and raised it by eating a lot of spirits… When will I ever explain all this?’
The man decided to just ignore it. In any case, the important thing was that he could learn the Heavenly Demonic Art.
“Anyway, if you want to learn the Heavenly Demonic Art, you need to have this ability, right?”
“···Yes. The more magic energy you have in your body, the stronger the power of the Heavenly Demonic Power. But···.”
It was impossible to estimate the amount of magic energy inside the person’s body.
‘I can’t use all that power right away with the Heavenly Demon God, but if I have enough time…’
The greatest of all time? Just that?
“···Kekekekeke. I can’t even imagine what kind of person you’ll become in the future.”
“What good is learning just one martial art?”
The man thought that the Manbaknogoe was over the top.
Even so, all I learned was one more martial art, and since the achievement was low at the time, it wasn’t very useful in actual combat.
Slowly.
‘Isn’t there any way to use this guy right now?’
In the eyes of the troubled elder, Manbaknogoe was seen looking at the spirit with envious eyes.
It’s not of much use to you right now, but…
‘if?’
“Master, please stay still for a moment.”
“···What are you going to do?”
The Great Man placed his right hand on Manbaknogoe’s dantian.
And he injected darkness into his danjeon.
Ss …
“Cough···!”
As darkness seeped into his body, Manbaknogoe shivered as if he had been electrocuted.
“It’ll be over soon, so just bear with me for a moment.”
The Great Man pushed the darkness until it filled Manbaknogoe’s body.
‘Is this enough? It’s not as much as I thought.’
As soon as the man took his hand away, Manbaknogoe fell to the floor and gasped for breath.
“Ugh···. Gasp···.”
Manbaknogoe looked down at his body with a face of disbelief.
Ss …
Incredibly dense and pure magic filled my body. Following the instructions of the Heavenly Demonic Art that I had practiced throughout my life, new strength coursed through my entire body.
-Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
The accumulated waste from the old coin intake was washed away, and the dead skin cells began to fall off little by little from the old body.
“Master? Master!”
“···Huh?”
The great man spoke to Manbaknogoe, who had just come to his senses and was looking at him.
Without even realizing what he had done to him.
“Can I recover my old martial arts skills now?”
In the past? What time are you talking about?
When you first met the great man? Or when you had a fierce battle with the Emperor of the past?
An uncontrollable laugh escaped Manbaknogoe’s mouth.
“Click click… Recovering. No, it’s more than that.”
***
“You go first. I’ll go at the time you told me.”
“Are you staying here?”
“Click, click. It’ll only take two days to prepare.”
Leaving the Manbaknogoe, who was smiling in an unknown, sinister manner, behind in the investigation room, the great man went out alone.
The man had a lot to do tonight.
Swish.
The man who used stealth carefully moved towards the direction where the Cheonmagyo leader was.
To be exact, the destination was the building next to the Kyojujeon Hall.
As soon as I entered the building, I felt a sharp noise.
“Is this the Pacheon Sword?”
The elder of the Cheonmasin Church, the Poisonous Blood Demon Emperor, appeared from the darkness.
“Are you the elder?”
The two simply confirmed each other’s identities. For a brief moment, the elder’s eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at the great man.
‘That’s amazing.’
“Follow me.”
Wherever the Great Man followed the Elder, the leader of the Cheonmasingyo sect was waiting.
The young leader opened his mouth with a dark expression.
“···I’ve been waiting.”
And the two had a long conversation.
***
Woof! Woof woof!
Geum-oh was explaining something by waving his long arms vigorously.
“Yeah, yeah. You had a hard time coming here.”
Geomseong nodded as if he understood everything Geum-oh said. He patted Geum-oh on the head and gave him his favorite fruit.
“Big brother. Do you really understand what he’s saying?”
The large, middle-aged man behind the swordsman asked.
A middle-aged man who appeared to be in his mid-40s was carrying a large sword on his back. The sword armor made of dragon skin depicted a dragon and a tiger biting each other.
“I get the gist of it. This guy is smarter than most people.”
“If you’re so smart, why can’t you speak human language?”
“Can’t you speak monkey language too?”
“Ugh···.”
The middle-aged man, momentarily speechless, emptied the bottle of alcohol he was holding.
Ugh! Ugh!
“Yeah. That guy asked me to give you this, right?”
Geomseong accepted the letter that Geumoh had handed him and opened it.
And I read it for a long time.
“······.”
“Big. What’s the content?”
A sharp-faced middle-aged man sitting across from the large middle-aged man asked.
He was carrying five spears on his back, and strangely enough, they were all different in length and shape.
“This is a letter from the kid I told you about last time.”
“···Are you talking about Namgung’s descendants?”
“okay.”
“Why is that guy suddenly writing a letter?”
Even the large middle-aged man showed interest at the mention of the descendant of the Emperor.
Geomseong smiled and said.
“You want me to fight with you.”
At those words, the expressions of the two middle-aged men hardened. The large middle-aged man growled fiercely.
“What an insolent bastard. You didn’t even come to see me yourself, but instead sent a monkey on an errand to send me a letter to Geomseong?”
The middle-aged man with a sharp expression also frowned.
“I don’t know about his abilities, but his arrogant personality is similar to that of the Sword Emperor.”
At the reactions of his two younger siblings, Geomseong simply smiled.
“I’m thinking of going there sometime.”
“What?”
“Why?”
The two people who knew the personality of the blacksmith were puzzled.
Dae-Hyeong had no intention of participating in this war. Neither did the other two.
They had already experienced and realized 100 years ago how futile the conflict between the Murim Alliance and the Cheonmasingyo was.
‘But you’re saying you’re going there just because you received a letter?’
‘What on earth is written in it?’
The two of them couldn’t help but be curious.
Geomseong, who knew her heart well, smiled and said.
“If I help you, you can stop the Great War. Forever.”
“What is that···.”
“Is that ridiculous?”
The two middle-aged men looked at each other with bewildered expressions.
I bet there haven’t been many people in the last 100 years who could make two people look like that.
“I’m thinking of going just out of curiosity. They say there are some familiar faces there.”
Geumseong immediately went into the cabin and quickly packed his things and came out.
The two people who were watching this somehow started to wiggle their buttocks.
“Tell me more about that···.”
“Big guys are always like that.”
Finally, a large, middle-aged man carrying a sword suddenly stood up from his seat.
“f*ck. I’ll follow you.”
“···If my brothers go, I will go too.”
The middle-aged man with a sharp expression also stood up from his seat.
As if he knew it, Geomseong looked at his younger siblings and snickered.
“It’s been a while since the three of us have gone out together.”
After a while, the three people disappeared from the spot like a mirage.
