Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 381
Episode 381 Giants Gathering (1)
“Isn’t it a rather charming place?”
“I see.”
“This is the place with the best view in this area. “It’s also a place I stop by sometimes when I have a lot to think about.”
“Is there any scenery in the world that is not beautiful? “If your mind is peaceful, even a windowless room will feel like a paradise. If your mind is disturbed, even the most scenic spot in the world will feel like hell.”
“It’s the mind… You acknowledge the ‘difference’ in the mind, but you don’t acknowledge the difference in the scenery?”
“Hehe, does that mean so?”
Dam Sa-young’s voice was very calm.
“The Uicheon Alliance, to be precise, the Murim League, which was the predecessor of the Uicheon League, said that it should not be located in a place with a good view. They said it should not be built even if it is built in a strategically good location. The reason is that the Murim Alliance is an abbreviation for the Murim World Federation (武林天下聯盟), which meant that the Murim Alliance, which was supposed to protect the world, should not occupy a special place.”
Dam Sa-young, who quenched her thirst with a sip of tea, smiled and continued speaking.
“Isn’t this such a stupid idea? If you want to run the world, you must find a position in a good place. “Only then can we observe the world more easily.”
“Do you think so?”
“Of course.”
“I thought so, but you don’t think at all about why the Murim Alliance was founded.”
“Is this why it was founded?”
“The Murim Alliance was not built to run the martial arts group. It was created to eliminate disasters and thieves that destroy the lives of foreign invaders and people. “At a small scale, it is to protect an individual’s life, and at a large scale, it is to protect the well-being of the world.”
“To protect the safety of the world, thorough control is necessary.”
“That’s not true. Although it is called a federation, how can one organization control this vast land? “In order to control things, there must be laws and norms, but in martial arts, there are moral lines, but there are no laws.”
“That’s why we need even stronger power.”
“No martial sect or martial arts family in the world should engage in power. What beings beyond human common sense need are morality and conscience rather than law. Because the moment you lose that, the world becomes hell.”
“The world has ended up like this because we have endured for hundreds of years with such absurd thoughts.”
“I won’t deny it. However, because he endlessly preached morality and tried to achieve integrity, he was able to defeat thieves such as vicious powerful figures and murderers.”
“In the end, you are a people who only see what they want to see. Even if you wash your eyes, you won’t find any thoughts of creating a better world than that. “They are just people who are steeped in the old illusions of the past and do not tolerate change.”
“Group norms are definitely important. But the Murim League is not a government office. “These people who gather like the wind and disperse like the wind are the Kang Ho-in who are part of the martial arts group.”
“This is a world where government officials have become famous and irrelevant. You don’t know that the world has become hell while protecting the imperial palace, which is on the verge of destruction. “If it’s a world like that, Moorim should step in.”
“You may be given help, but you shouldn’t try to take that position. That is why you are in danger.”
Damsayoung smiled.
The other person also smiled.
“The speaking technique of knocking on people’s clothes with random noises is still the same.”
“It seems like your pestilent greed has gotten worse.”
“One thing has changed. “After being sick for a few years, I woke up and my mouth looked a little dirty.”
“My tongue was quite strong back in the day. “That is, if the other person is a villain.”
Hyuncheon took a sip of tea and said.
“You’ve become much stronger than when we first met.”
Dam Sa-young chuckled.
“Do you see it that way?”
“That’s right.”
“I was so busy with work that I didn’t have time to practice. “I ended up picking up some elixir and drinking it.”
“It’s also because of your greed. Your martial skills were truly remarkable. “If you had not been greedy for power and devoted yourself to martial arts, you would have surpassed us by now.”
“I don’t want to get hung up on a future based on what if.”
“is it.”
“Even though his martial arts growth has slowed, he is holding on to something much bigger than that.”
“Your martial arts growth has slowed down… I already told you, but if you had continued to work hard, you could have truly become the best in the world.”
“It’s not something that particularly excites my heart.”
“I’m saying there’s no need for that secret art you hid.”
Dam Sa-young’s hand, which was trying to lift the teacup, stopped.
But for a moment he put the teacup to his mouth again.
“A secret art?”
Hyeoncheon’s eyes deepened.
His eyes, which saw through the being called Damsa-yeong, were clear and cool like a mountain god living in a winter mountain.
“Is it from the Heavenly Dragon Palace?”
“….”
“As expected.” “I thought it was a secret technique I’ve experienced a few times somewhere, but I ended up stealing something from a heavenly dragon.”
Damsayoung thought. I don’t know anything else, but this is one of the reasons why we need to kill the small leader of the Demonic Cult.
The martial arts of Jeongmu Ssangsin (正武雙神) can be said to be the best in the world, both in name and reality. However, when Dam Sa-yeong first saw Hyeon Cheon Jin-in, he thought that his good eyes were more frightening than his martial arts skills.
Eyes that see through all things in the world. Hyeoncheonjinin was a person who not only learned the martial arts of Seondo Secret Technique, but also had extreme enlightenment as a Taoist and even displayed the miraculous ability of the Six Paths.
Of course, the six-point notice law was not perfect. If he had freely used the six-pointed method, he would have realized that he would become addicted to the six-pointed one, and would have been able to escape from a terrible future.
So it is even more uncontrolled.
If they are not people who will come into my family and cannot be forced by solitude or magic, it is better to just bury them.
However, if Hyeoncheonjinin dies, the power and reputation of the shaman faction will suffer. So they left him neither dead nor alive. On the contrary, I gained a lot from it.
But now I thought differently.
“I should have killed you instead.”
“Yes, if I had died, I would have regrets, but I would not have had to see such a miserable reality.”
Dam Sa-young laughed bitterly.
“Do you want me to kill you right now?”
It was a scary statement.
And a strange energy was spreading from Dam Sa-young’s body, as if she could make that statement a reality.
Sssssss.
A strange energy that seems to be visible or transparent spreads out like fog.
Just like when the Cheonryong Palace’s protection method, Hyeolmok (血木), deals with wood energy (wood energy).
Although it is only a small part, it is as if you are holding in your arms a huge seed of life.
The strange force approaching, bending here and there like tree roots, was so cold and foreign that it gave me goosebumps.
‘It’s amazing.’
Hyuncheon sighed softly.
‘It is clear that it is a psychic martial art, but it is not an evil art. It is similar to the magic art of magic, but it is not a magic art. ‘To condense this much power by taking away the power that should follow the laws of heaven.’
It was amazing.
I knew that Dam Sa-yeong had a secret secret, but I had no idea that she was hiding such ferocious power. It was amazing that he could hide seven different types of power, regardless of their size or concentration, and still walk around unharmed.
‘The energy of the Seven Elements. I took the sun and moon of yin and yang and the water, fire, earth, and gold of the five elements as my own…’
Hyuncheon closed his eyes.
“Did you kill the Lord of Heavenly Dragon Palace?”
“No way. “I shouldn’t destroy such a good puppet with my own hands.”
“Then how did you incorporate the secret art of the Heavenly Dragon Palace into your body? “And that too much.”
“Do you want to know how?”
Hyeoncheon, who was silent for a moment, asked again.
“When did you get your hands on the Heavenly Dragon?”
Dam Sa-young’s smile deepened.
“It was before I got involved in the political struggle in the Central Plains.”
Dam Sa-yeong was a person who started from the bottom and rose to the top of the martial arts world.
However, there were forces that helped him knowingly or unknowingly. It was virtually impossible to become the leader of the martial arts faction with just two fists and without any connections in the central region.
‘I guess there was a reason for everything.’
Hyuncheon closed his eyes.
‘How can something outside the world not be a part of the world? Perhaps the reason such a monster appeared was because of the arrogance of Joongwon, who drew a line by calling Sae-oe a barbarian.’
I regretted the past. If we had paid a little more attention to them and welcomed them with open arms, Jungwon would have been much more peaceful than it is now.
But it was impossible to change the past that had already passed.
Hyuncheon opened his eyes.
When Hyeon-cheon opened his eyes, he was a completely different person than he was just now.
“Would you like to kill this old man right now?”
Dam Sa-young’s eyes lit up.
Hyuncheon shook his head.
“You will never be able to do that.”
“Do you think I lack strength?”
“It doesn’t seem like it’s enough. “But you can’t kill me.”
“Did you see it that way with those brilliant eyes?”
“No, I just believe in my strength.”
Hyeoncheon raised his hand.
The puffy sleeves fell down, exposing his aging hands and forearms.
Wooooow.
Dam Sa-young’s eyes deepened.
Hyeoncheon’s hands were colored with a soft white light.
It was white, but it was a color that did not strain the eyes. It was a slightly cloudy yet very pretty color, like the fog that settled on the ridge of Wudang Mountain.
‘Taegeukjingi (太極眞氣)!’
Yes.
The true energy that bloomed in Hyeoncheon’s hands was the true energy of Taegeuksimbeop (太極心法), which even young shamans could learn. But it was by no means ordinary energy.
Yin and Yang Just as the sun rises when the moon sets and the moon rises again when the sun sets, the law of the world is a series of cycles of cold and rain, which is like the circle of Taegeuk.
Hyeon-cheon, who accepted the principles of the world into martial arts and achieved the state of oneness of all things and self, did not need advanced martial arts skills. The place he returned to after realizing the ultimate meaning of pure yang mugeukgong, the best way of thinking for a shaman, was in the hearts of young Taoists who were extremely pure.
The basic meditation method of a shaman that protects the gentle hearts of children without any blemishes.
Taegeukjingi (太極眞氣), which is the beginning and framework of shaman martial arts and can be easily learned by anyone, was transformed into the best new technique in the world and was flowing through all of Hyeoncheon’s blood vessels.
Hyeoncheon waved his hand.
Saaaaagh!
The white mist completely erased the intangible energy emanating from Damsayoung’s body.
Dam Sa-young’s eyes wavered.
Hyuncheon said.
“The more one learns high-level martial arts, the stronger one’s energy, the simpler one’s mind becomes, and one is able to come up with the best answer through intuition rather than complex thinking.”
Phew.
With the pleasant sound of the wind, the Taegeuk Jingi in Hyuncheon’s hand disappeared.
“A person who has reached such a state can demolish all things with a single gesture of his hand and cut down the peak of a mountain with a simple sword.”
“….”
“The power you have mastered is truly terrifying. With that power, he could kill Nana Dingjung. “Don’t you think that possibility and leisure are two different issues?”
A bitter smile appeared on Dam Sa-young’s face again.
“Would you like to try it out?”
“So, do you want to see it?”
It was a sudden moment.
Rumbling!
As if a bolt of lightning had fallen from high in the sky.
And Hyuncheon’s body suddenly stiffened, as if he had been struck by lightning.
“her!”
Damsayoung frowned. Why is this old man suddenly acting like this?
Hyuncheon sighed.
“It’s truly amazing. “I thought I would somehow overcome it, but…”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t think there’s any need to fight now.”
“Are you scared?”
“I’m saying this not because I’m scared, but because I feel like there’s someone else who can scold you.”
“what?”
Hyeoncheon, who had been looking up at the sky blankly, lowered his gaze and looked at Damsayeong.
“The Heavenly Demon has broken through the sword.”
“…?!”
“It means that I broke the Demon Demon Jinjin.”
Damsayoung’s face turned pale.
