Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 332
Episode 332
Darkness returns (7)
Five days later.
‘hmm.’
I’ve been so busy that I haven’t been able to eat properly with my family.
After some time, we had some free time, so the four of us decided to get together and have a meal. Thanks to this, the eldest child, the second child, and Mukbi were here together.
On that spot, Yeonwi was able to immediately feel the change in Yeonhojeong.
“Hojeong.”
“yes?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was eating small pieces of meat with chopsticks, looked at Yeon Wi with puzzled eyes.
‘…?’
Yeonwi’s expression became strange.
The face of my son looking at me looked very innocent. The unique black and white eyes were also extremely transparent.
‘It’s strange.’
After the fight with the Twelve Warlords of the Mythological Religion, something changed in my son.
To be more precise, I would say that it seems like his hidden true nature has been revealed. It felt like the demonic nature of madness that had been fostered through hellish chaos had finally reared its head.
I was very worried because of that. If you have a physical injury, you can call a doctor to have it fixed, but only you can overcome the shaking of your mind and spirit.
Today’s event was also created with the intention of helping to remove the darkness in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes, but unexpectedly, the son’s eyes were clear and deep.
‘What happened recently? Or…’
Yeonwi smiled.
“The amount has decreased a bit.”
“Is that so?”
“Didn’t they take enough food for three or four men?”
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.
“It’s because I haven’t been overworking my body too much lately. “This amount is perfect for now.”
There is something that so-called people misunderstand. People think that the martial arts people only eat and fight.
But the truth is different.
It is clear that martial arts is a dangerous world of spear knives, but there are far more people who have not experienced it than those who have actually experienced combat.
Furthermore, there are more people who die in a single combat than those who experience combat and grow.
In the first place, real combat is based on someone’s death. Although this is often not the case, those engaged in actual combat usually do not consider survival in case of defeat.
In other words, actual combat is the act of putting your entire life on the line. Aside from the simple consumption of physical strength, the consumption of mental strength is bound to be enormous. That in itself is extreme tension.
In that respect, Yeonhojeong can be said to be a very unique case.
He experienced more battles than any other martial artist of his time and suffered numerous defeats. Nevertheless, he survived until the end and is here now.
A life filled with countless wins and losses.
In other words, for him, actual combat and life and death were no longer stages on which he had to make up his mind.
Life itself is a series of life and death, combat, and tension. That’s why your mind is calm, and even though it’s a real fight, you can act like a warrior and not be nervous.
The embodiment of actual warfare.
Because he possesses a skill like that of a ghost, which is one of the few in the world, he can control everything, including eating, resting, and work, in proportion to his training amount.
“How are your wounds? “I heard you got hurt while working with soldiers.”
“There is a brave congressman living in our residence, right? “It has completely healed.”
“okay. “Thank goodness.”
I am glad that he is feeling better, but I am relieved that he is back to being the wise and confident son he used to be.
Yeonwi suddenly asked while looking at Yeonjipyeong.
“Aren’t you bored?”
“yes? “Oh, me?”
“okay.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong said as if he was embarrassed.
“How can you ever be bored when you are busy following the sword road every day? However, I am worried that I am just wasting rice. “My father, my older brother, and my older sister are all very busy, but I feel like I’m not doing anything alone.”
“Don’t think like that. The Murim League is an alliance of Baekdo Murim. You are also a member of Baekdo and a member of the Yeonga family. It is right to train hard every day in preparation for when martial arts calls you. “Make sure you sharpen that sword well.”
“All right.”
“The reason I didn’t stop you from coming to the Murim Alliance was because the family was stable and I wanted you to come to a bigger place and broaden your horizons.”
Yeonwi pointed to Yeonhojeong and Mukbi with his hand.
“Your brother and Bia are not just strong in martial arts, nor are they just busy. “We will have to pay close attention to what these two have seen and experienced and how they resolve conflicts and incidents.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Yeonhojeong’s expression was calm, but Mukbi blushed for no reason. He was embarrassed because he felt like he was being praised even though he was not a very great person.
Yeonwi smiled and looked at Mukbi.
“Anyway, congratulations.”
“yes?”
Mukbi narrowed his eyes.
“Me?”
“Yes.”
“what…?”
Yeonwi frowned and looked at Yeonhojeong.
“You didn’t tell me?”
Yeon Ho-jeong answered calmly.
“I thought it was important to realize this for yourself. “I thought it was nothing to make a fuss about from the standpoint of martial arts since all I had to do was continue as I had done so far.”
“Hey. He is a genius who demolished half of the wall that announced the first destination of martial arts. “Even if we celebrate for three days and nights, it won’t be enough.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled awkwardly.
“It’s being torn down, but it’s not completely torn down.”
“But that’s not the case.”
It was a strange conversation. At least that was the case for Mukbi.
Yeon Ji-pyeong looked at Muk-bi in surprise.
“sister!”
“Huh? why?”
“Congratulations!”
“…what?”
“You are breaking down the barrier of all kinds! “You are amazing!”
Mukbi narrowed his eyes.
“Mujong… Huh? What are you tearing down? who? I?”
Honest admiration appeared on Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face.
“Somehow, my sister’s true spirit seemed to have deepened in a strange way, and that seems to have been the case.”
“Yes?”
Mo Fei looked at Yan Yu in confusion.
Yeonwi nodded.
“You are breaking through the barrier of no end. “If we continue to do what we have done so far, I think we will reach an upward trend before the end of this month.”
“omg!”
Mukbi was surprised.
“Jeez, I broke through the infinite wall?!”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“You have to say it right away. I’m breaking through. “It didn’t break through.”
“That’s it!”
“It’s different, man. So, don’t overexert yourself just because you’re excited, just do what you’ve done so far, like your father said.”
Mukbi’s face became very flushed.
Yeon Ho-jeong clicked his tongue.
“This is why I wasn’t talking.”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“You deserve to be happy. You are you, but Bia is also young. “It is rare for a master to break through the barrier of martial arts at this age.”
“Well, that’s true too.”
Mukbi swallowed his saliva.
‘I am boundless…!’
I clenched my fists without realizing it due to the overwhelming joy.
But even for a moment.
“But.”
“hmm?”
Mukbi’s face became dazed.
“I didn’t know about my change… How on earth did you know that I was breaking the barrier?”
“Oh, you mean that?”
Yeonwi smiled.
“In fact, breaking through a certain level is an extremely personal feeling, so it is not easy for outsiders to judge. However, there is one ‘gateway’ that countless people go through just before reaching a similar level.”
“Ah yes.”
“However, the process of passing through that gateway is different for each person. In the case of Hojeong, he developed all the martial arts of the Four Gods and passed the Byeoknajingyeol in a single go with the ten stars. In my case, I had quite a bit of trouble at the gate of Mujong.”
Because his sons were so talented, Yeonwi was also as talented as anyone else. It was said to be a difficult gateway even for such a rare swordsman, so the difficulty of Mujongjibyeok could be said to be beyond imagination.
“Everyone has different ways of breaking down walls and moving forward, but everyone encounters similar walls when they reach the ultimate goal. Of course, the walls of the drama will also have different shapes and levels of difficulty.”
“yes. So, what I mean is….”
“But one characteristic is visible to those who break down the wall and move forward.”
“What are the characteristics?”
“Yes.”
“What characteristics?”
“True energy.”
“…?”
Mukbi tilted his head.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“The density of true energy changes. “If I just say this, I’d say it’s because of how amazing it is, but it’s completely different.”
“how?”
“When the density of true energy changes, the original dantian shrinks rapidly. of course. “Because we need to increase density.”
“…!!”
“The Danjeon becomes smaller, but the true energy contained within it becomes harder and more dense, and its efficiency is maximized depending on the caster’s operating method.”
Yeonwi received Yeonhojeong’s words.
“Furthermore, as the density of true energy increases through the wall, even the true energy residing in the muscles and bones gathers into the Danjeon.”
“yes?!”
“Isn’t it necessary to empty it to fill it? “As the pure energy of Mother Nature dwells in the emptied muscles and bones, not only the dantian but also the body develops more perfectly and flawlessly.”
Grumble!
Yeon Ho-jeong lit one of his chopsticks on fire.
The chopsticks instantly burned black and then turned white.
Kuuk.
He broke the chopsticks that had turned into charcoal with his strong grip and trapped them in his fist, and this time he raised the string weapon.
Cheeeeeek!
Along with the white smoke, a small bead appeared in his hand. It was compressed so strongly that its size was as small as a thumb nail.
“A body with extremely high levels of impurities removed and a Danjeon with increased density.”
“…!!”
“It is a reconstruction of the body to achieve further enlightenment. With my current body, I cannot fully capture the transcendent enlightenment that people in the world talk about. So the inside and outside of the body begins to change from the root. “To embrace stronger martial arts.”
Mukbi’s eyes wavered.
“…Are you talking about a complete transformation?”
“Strictly speaking, it is different, but if you only think about the aspect of change, it can also be seen as a complete transformation. “It doesn’t change the muscles themselves, though.”
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
“Anyway, I tried not to say anything until I realized it myself, but this is what happened. Congratulations.”
“yes? Ah yes!”
If he was normally silent, he would have grumbled at Yeon Ho-jeong even as a joke.
But I couldn’t do that now. I was both dazed and happy. I was completely out of my mind.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Now that we’re all together like this, shall we have a drink?”
“That’s good. You and Jipyeong should go and have a drink. “Speaking of which, I need to take care of Bia’s history.”
“All right.”
It was time for Yeon Ho-jeong to get up from his seat.
‘hmm?’
He and Yeonwi turned their eyes to the window almost at the same time.
Yeonwi tilted his head.
“What brings you here at this hour?”
“That’s right.”
“Did you ask him for anything?”
“There is, but the results are not something that will come out in just a few days. “I think I’m here for something else.”
“Hmm.”
Yeonwi said to Mukbi.
“Wait with Jipyeong for a moment.”
“yes!”
It was a strangely powerful answer. Yeonwi stood up with a embarrassed expression.
In this way, Yeonwi and Yeonhojeong opened the gate of Pagungak.
There was a party hall there.
The Yanwi took full control.
“Welcome.”
The party also took a brief stance. There was no separate greeting.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked directly.
“What’s going on?”
The official glanced at Yeonhojeong.
The party official, who was looking at him in silence, spoke to Yeonwi.
“Kite matriarch.”
“Please speak.”
“Let’s borrow the matriarch’s son for a moment.”
Yeonwi asked with a puzzled look.
“what brings you here…?”
The party satisfied our appetite.
“I will come back and tell you. “I think this shitty bastard will be better off than the Yeon family in this matter. Well, since my bastard is a cheap bastard, I’ll have to clean it up.”
“Hmm?”
The official turned around.
“Follow me.”
Yeonwi and Yeonhojeong looked at each other.
The eyes of father and son looked similar for the first time in a long time.
