<-- Episode 317: Chapter 6 The old relationship continues, but it's not always happy (2) -->
He Jinyue looked at the panoramic view of Beitian Gate with his arms crossed.
In a short period of time, Beitian Gate has undergone many changes. Proper palaces began to be built one by one, and the number of warriors coming in also increased significantly compared to before.
As the scale grew, the number of materials consumed also increased. Because of this, the Baekryong Merchant Marine Company, which supplies supplies to the Northern Heavenly Gate, also frequently came and went here.
“Is it almost the limit now?”
In the meantime, the existence of the Northern Heavenly Gate was thoroughly hidden. Unmanned personnel were prohibited from entering the area, and only trusted individuals from the White Dragon Company were allowed to enter the area. But now those efforts have reached their limits.
Soldiers from the Ami faction, the Qingcheng faction, and the Tang Dynasty were coming and going here every day. They tried to maintain security, but with so many people coming and going, gossip was slowly leaking out.
Although we are somehow blocking it right now, it was only a matter of time before the Northern Heavenly Gate became known to the world. The question was when Unjungcheon found out about it. Right now, they don’t have the energy to pay attention to Sichuan Province because of the war with Milya, but it was clear that they would make some kind of move from the moment they recognized the Northern Heavenly Gate.
“It’s still not enough.”
He did not reach even seventy percent of the power he wanted. As he worked in secret to maintain secrecy, all work had to be slow. Ha Jin-wol was very disappointed about that.
“Still, I have no choice but to do my best… … .”
I had to increase the power somehow.
Still, one thing that is comforting is that the existing warriors who joined Bukcheonmun and the newly joined warriors are getting along well. Since it basically comes from the same root, there is still a nostalgia for the old Beitian Gate. Thanks to their dedicated efforts, the unity of the Bukcheonmun was as good as that of any other sect.
The military personnel dispatched from the Ami faction, the Qingcheng faction, and the Tang Gate were greatly influenced by the atmosphere of the Northern Heavenly Gate. Above all, all three factions had a deep-rooted grudge because they had suffered bloodshed by Milya. Perhaps that was why their venom was by no means inferior to that of the warriors of the Northern Heavenly Gate.
“You just need to exert a little more strength. If we hold out just a little longer, we will reach full strength. Until then, we have to keep it a secret at all costs.”
Ha Jin-wol bit his lip.
I felt like I could somehow increase my general power even more if I put in the effort. The problem was that he was a master of over-the-top extremes.
Currently, there are not many masters above the peak level in Northern Heavenly Gate.
Excluding Jin Mu-won, the master of the clan, at most there were only Pungje Gyeongmu-saeng, Muju Ma Do-gwang, Geomju So Musang, and Hwang Cheol. Gyeongmu-saeng was an expert who had already reached the absolute level, and Demon Do-gwang was no less amazing. Su Mu-sang recently had a great realization and took a step forward.
Neunggunhwi, the lord of Pungwoon Domain, had not yet fully recovered from his wounds, and Dangmun, the head of the Hwaldok clan, knew little about martial arts. Eun Han-seol, the most solid fighter, was still reluctant to come out to the world. The only one she cares about is Jin Moo-won. So she wasn’t much help.
“If we had one or two more absolute experts, how could we utilize the organization more flexibly?”
Ha Jin-wol sighed.
It was even more painful because it was not an area he could do anything about. It was time for Ha Jin-wol to take her steps with such a bitter heart.
“Military!”
Suddenly, a military officer belonging to the military department came running with an urgent look on his face.
“What’s going on?”
“We’re in big trouble.”
“Big deal?”
“The lord of the sword told me to bring the soldiers. “It’s urgent.”
“Geomju?”
When it comes to Geomju, it means Somusang. So Musang was never one to talk nonsense. Knowing that fact, Ha Jinwol hurriedly ran after the warrior. The place we arrived at was a small firing range located in the deepest part of the Bukcheonmun Gate.
Unlike the Great Banquet Hall, which can be used by anyone, this place was used only by the leaders of the Northern Heavenly Gate. This is because it is located in the deepest place and is free from the gaze of others.
When I arrived at Soyeonmujang, I saw Somusang with his sword drawn and his eyes glaring. Since the momentum was unusual, Ha Jinwol quickly asked.
“What’s going on?”
“Look over there.”
So Musang pointed with his finger to the middle of the military training camp. Ha Jin-wol, who was looking at Commander So-yeon, widened her eyes.
In the center of the small training camp, a person he knew well was standing alone.
The clothes were torn in several places, and through them, wounds where the blood had not yet hardened were visible. It was clear that he had been fighting with someone just moments ago.
But Hwang Cheol’s expression was strange.
He was standing there with his eyes tightly closed with an expression of indifference to everything, and a strange sense of intimidation was emanating from him.
“That one?”
“He suddenly became like that while he was rubbing with me.”
“then?”
“It’s clear that you suddenly have an epiphany and break through the wall.”
“Mmm!”
Ha Jin-wol sighed.
Come to think of it, So Musang’s clothes were also torn in a mess. As he said, it was clear that he got hurt while rubbing with Hwang Cheol.
In recent years, Hwang Cheol and So Musang have been dancing every day. This is because it was easy to deal with them since they were the people who knew each other the best.
As I practiced dancing every day, my skills improved rapidly. Sometimes, So Musang overpowered Hwang Cheol, and other times, Hwang Cheol overpowered So Musang.
They were great stimulants for each other. With the desire to beat each other and the desire to improve even a little, they danced every day.
It was the same today. The two people woke up early in the morning and started dancing like they always did. Since he had suffered a loss to Hwang Cheol the day before, So Musang went out fully prepared.
He reviewed the fight from a few days ago and figured out his own problems and Hwang Cheol’s strengths. After such a thorough analysis, we set out to fight.
The fight between the two was a whistle. However, as time passed, things became more favorable to So Musang. Maybe it was natural. Because I had prepared sufficiently, and my physical strength was also greatly advantageous.
So Musang was excited and unfolded all the swords he had prepared all at once. A sword with its own unique system that can no longer be called Cheongun Sword Technique.
So Musang poured out everything he had toward Hwang Cheol. And Hwang Cheol also performed martial arts with all his might.
He literally poured out everything he had. I squeezed out every drop of energy that was left in my Danjeon. Because he wanted to fight without regrets.
The realization came then.
When I let out everything without regret, when I thought I had emptied everything, a small realization suddenly came to me. Hwangcheol stretched out his hand toward that small realization.
If So Musang had continued the attack without understanding the situation, Hwang Cheol would have lost his life. However, So Musang, as a warrior of the highest caliber, quickly noticed Hwang Cheol’s condition and took action to protect him.
“Enlightenment? So, has the absolute wall been broken?”
“No one knows that.”
Su Mu-sang shook his head.
Currently, Hwangcheol remained in the same state of transcendence. No one knows whether the enlightenment that has come now will solidify the state of transcendence or move to the state of absolute perfection. This was something that could only be known when Hwang Cheol woke up.
Suddenly, a soft smile appeared on Su Mu-sang’s face. Although he tried hard, Hwangcheol devoted himself to martial arts to the point where he seemed truly desperate. The difference was appearing before my eyes.
‘Don’t be too happy about going ahead right now. ‘I’ll follow you soon.’
So Musang burned his fighting spirit.
Ha Jin-wol couldn’t hide his nervous expression and looked at Hwang Cheol.
‘older brother.’

Publicly, they were soldiers and servants, but privately, they were like older brothers and younger brothers. The person who thought about Hwang Cheol more than anyone else was Ha Jin-wol.
A person who thinks of himself as a dunce.
A strong-willed man who has overcome the wall of transcendence using the three-centered mind method that everyone calls a third-rate mind method. Still, the man who thought he was not good enough to assist Jin Mu-won was Hwang Cheol.
However, Ha Jin-wol highly evaluated Hwang Cheol. Even though she may be as slow as a turtle, she silently walks the path she has chosen without resting even for a moment.
Such people were bound to reach their desired destination someday. No matter how long it takes.
At that time, Hwangcheol’s body suddenly began to tremble.
‘What about that?’
He instinctively realized that Hwangcheol had entered the most critical moment. It was the same for Somusang. So Musang was alert to his surroundings and made sure no one could disturb Hwang Cheol.
Huh!
Suddenly the flow of energy became more intense. The energy around me seemed to gather for a moment, but then it was pushed out all at once like a tsunami in all directions.
The flow of energy was so powerful that even Ha Jinwol, who did not know martial arts, could feel it. Naturally, several warriors around the firing range sensed the trend and tried to approach. However, they were intimidated by the bloody appearance of So Musang blocking the entrance and had to return.
It was then.
“after!”
Suddenly, Hwangcheol took a deep breath and opened his eyes. An intense light flashed for a moment and then disappeared.
Ha Jin-wol, who sensed that the moment of enlightenment was over, quickly approached him.
“older brother.”
“Brother, what are we doing here?”
“The Sword Lord called.”
“I see.”
Hwang Cheol nodded and looked at So Musang. So Musang was still blocking the entrance.
“Thank you! “There’s no need for that anymore, so come here.”
“Congratulations on your enlightenment.”
“It’s all thanks to you. “I would never have gotten it if it weren’t for you.”
“Have you broken the absolute wall?”
“Not really. If it could be broken that easily, would it have been said that it was an absolute disaster? “I just saw some possibility to get over it.”
“Congratulations. “If you see the potential, you will definitely be able to overcome it in the near future.”
“You are not far away either. Until then, I will continue to work with you.”
“thank you.”
So Musang smiled at Hwang Cheol’s consideration.
At that time, Ha Jin-wol said.
“I guess we should have a party today. “It was the day my brother gained enlightenment.”
“It’s not that big of a deal. “It’s not something I should tell others about.”
As Hwangcheol blushed, Ha Jinwol laughed.
“haha! Then, let’s have a quiet drink among ourselves. “I will prepare a main table.”
“That’s right!”
Hwangcheol smiled.
Today was a good day. Suddenly, I wanted to see Jin Mu-won.
‘Confucius, are you well?’
Ga Kyung-ui opened his closed eyes. His eyes were filled with only sorrow.
A large coffin was placed in front of me. The body in the coffin was Manchusan, who was returned from Unjungcheon after much effort.
The living disaster that once struck fear throughout the central plains under the nickname Bankrupt Coachman has now returned as a pale corpse. Ga Gyeong-ui could not help but feel sad at the sight of Manchusan Mountain like that.
At that time, someone walked out from behind Ga Kyung-ui. The person who silently walked towards Manchusan’s body was none other than Heukikshinchang Woo Muncheon.
“Estimate.”
A thick darkness appeared around Wu Wentian’s eyes.
To others, he may have been a figure of fear, but to him, he was a colleague and close friend with whom he had shared hardships and hardships for decades. Even though there were many times when I didn’t like him, I still had a bond with him that had lasted for a long time. The death of such a person came as a great shock to him.
Wu Wentian stretched out his hand and caressed Manchusan’s face.
It was as cold as ice. Still, he didn’t take his hand off.
“Did you solve the problem to your heart’s content? In that case, there would be no spare time. But my heart is empty, Chusan.”
Following Nam Cheon-myeong, Cheongpung Ma-yeong, Manchu-san, the father-in-law and coachman, died. Two of the four great magicians who shook the world have already lost their lives. There is no one whose life is worthless, but the death of the two people felt even more painful.
Wu Wentian trembled with a sense of loss that felt like his heart had been ripped open and a huge anger welling up from the bottom. However, like an expert who has reached absolute perfection, he quickly regained his senses.
Ga Kyung-ui waited for him to calm down and asked.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s definitely not okay.”
“if… … .”
“Don’t worry. Because you won’t be blinded by anger and ruin the military’s grand plan. Don’t you know? “What kind of personality do I have?”
Ga Kyung-ui shook his head.
People in the world think that the four major magicians are all at the same level, but there was clearly superiority and inferiority among them. The difference was bigger than I thought.
Wu Mun-cheon was a person who possessed the highest level of military power among the Four Great Demon Generals. No, he was the owner of a force that could not be confined within the confines of being one of the four major demonic leaders. Nevertheless, the reason he is satisfied with the title of Master of the Four Great Demons is because his master and his master’s master were all satisfied with the title of Black Wing Shinchang.
I have lived a satisfied life because there is nothing I want to gain or achieve, even to the point of breaking away from the framework of the Four Masters. But now things have changed.
Two of the four great magicians died.
If things are left like this, Milya’s morale will fall to the ground. He couldn’t just sit back and watch any longer.
“How long?”
“yes?”
“The date on which the truce was agreed with Unjungcheon.”
“Until Choahre next month.”
“You can’t just suffer like this, right?”
“of course.”
Ga Kyung-ui’s eyes glowed eerily.
