Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 504
Episode 504.
Summary and challenge (4)
Two days later.
“Hmm.”
Yeonhojeong, who was holding and swinging the Black Dragon and White Dragon, soon tilted his head.
‘That’s strange.’
It was like that during Gwangryongbu, but isn’t it really strange?
‘Is it because of my instinct that I’m gradually losing control, or is it just because I’m sick of it?’
Even when he was the Emperor of Darkness, he was skilled with white weapons. Later, no matter how unique a weapon was, once I held it, I had a clear idea of how to swing it to extract maximum power.
That was the reason why he used an ax that weighed over 80 pounds. It may be difficult for others to handle, but Yeon Ho-jeong has strong physical strength, deep inner strength, and a fighting sense and sashin dance that can take full advantage of weapons.
Only when you hold and swing an ax of that size can you reveal the maximum amount of force you have. The reason he used a huge ax was not to overwhelm his opponents, but because the weapon actually suited him.
It wasn’t just the Gwangryongbu.
The Black Dragon and White Dragon, which were made with the sweat and blood of artisans from the Four Heavenly Dang Family, also showed amazing efficiency in his hands. On the contrary, it was able to perform faster attacks and sharp attacks than the Gwangryongbu, so even though its power was reduced, it showed an advantage in fighting to catch the enemy off guard.
Whatever it was, the Light Dragon and Black and White Twin Dragon were precious weapons to him. There was no intention of using any weapon other than this as the main weapon.
“I’m not sick of it. I can’t get enough of it. It makes no sense for me to be sick of my own disease. If anything, it would be better if I polished it further.”
Chiri ririn.
He stroked his chin as he grabbed the two axes connected to the Gyoryongsae.
‘Are my martial arts skills starting to change?’
During the time of the Emperor of Darkness, he never once said that the weapon was unfamiliar or that he couldn’t handle it.
However, there was clearly a period of unprecedented change that was previously unthinkable.
‘What was I like back then?’
It was a time when martial arts was running forward, somewhere between earth and sky, where fundamental changes took place.
What changes did you experience before you were called the Emperor of Darkness and soared to extreme heights?
‘It’s iron chains.’
Yeon Ho-jeong picked up the Gyoryongswae.
Cheer ring.
The black-gray Gyoryongsae, which made a clear sound, gave off a cool chill.
‘After using all kinds of weapons, I finally picked up an axe. After wading through the chaos with that axe, I eventually turned my attention to Cheolsae.’
The change was anything but simple.
It may be seen that they simply swung the iron chains together, but the idea of using an ax and iron chains together was not common sense in the first place.
However, he experienced a change in his level through martial arts, and was able to walk on the martial arts of the king in the pouring light of martial arts.
‘Is he coming?’
Kuuk!
A powerful force entered the hand holding the Gyoryongshack.
‘Is that chaotic state of illusion finally opening its door to me?’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face showed turbulence.
Even though I had reached a level once, it was no exaggeration to say that the person I was then and the person I am now are completely different people.
Even the Neigongsim method, which was the center of the Four Gods, was different. At that time, he practiced Hongcheongi honestly, but now he has mixed two of the five great divine techniques of the Yeonga to form the legendary God Dan (神丹) of the Yeonga.
When the energy is different, the body is different, and when the body is different, the depth of thoughts and the area of thinking also change.
You should never think that it will be the same as it was then.
‘Just because a door is opened doesn’t mean you can quickly reach that level. Some people can climb the mountain in just one day, but others can waste their entire lives struggling at the threshold of that level.’
In the past, he also stepped into this realm of illusion and only a few years later entered into martial arts.
Don’t think that it will be any faster now. No, you should think that it could be even slower than then. That way, you won’t stick to the wrong path due to familiarity.
Yeon Ho-jeong was lost in thought.
‘It is important to be dispatched to the Mukryongbu and become one with them. But just because the work is important, I shouldn’t forget my growth.’
In a way, what was more important than the Mukryongbu incident was his own growth. The reason is that if a war breaks out, one must be able to stand at the forefront at any time.
‘Then what do I have to do now?’
Yeon Ho-jeong thought.
And then I made a decision.
“Are you on your way after finishing training?”
“yes.”
“Good job. Come and sit down.”
Yeonwi personally drove the car for her son.
He knew Yeon Ho-jeong ever since she came to visit him. That my son has something to worry about and that he has something to ask of me.
Now, he has reached a point where he can tell his son’s condition just by looking at his eyes.
“How do you feel?”
“It’s a tea I haven’t tried before. What is this?”
“They say it’s safflower scent. “It was a gift from the head of the Paeng family.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“Paenggaju?”
Yeonwi chuckled.
“You talk about yourself a lot. It seems like my meeting with you was quite impressive. “He talked about you for a while and gave me some tea leaves that he had recently found.”
“It smells very good. Contrary to his appearance, he is quite plain, isn’t he? “If you have something good, share it right away.”
“Huh, haven’t you figured out your speaking habits yet?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was grumbling, cleared his throat.
“sorry. “It’s so sunny these days.”
Yeonwi said with a smile.
“It is done. I don’t think that scolding me one more time will fix it. However, we must continue to make efforts like now.”
“All right.”
“Okay, by the way, what do you want to ask this Abby?”
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes round.
“Did you know?”
“Fool the ghost or the father’s eyes.”
“A risk!”
“Speak comfortably.”
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke carefully.
“I would like to practice the rest of the five major divine techniques of the main family.”
From the beginning, he had memorized all the nine precepts of the Five Great Gods.
In fact, Yeonwi also knew that. And when he found out that Yeon Ho-jeong had formed a Shindan (神丹), unlike him, he realized that even though they were father and son, they were following a completely different path.
The people who formed the Yeonga Shindan are counted among the few in Yeonga history. However, many more ancestors would have formed a shrine if they had actually had the will to form one.
In other words, if you need a capable person, you can form a shrine. However, if you do not really need a shrine, there is no need to take a path that is not suitable for you.
The current Yeonwi can also form a Yeonga Shindan right away if he or she wants to. Nevertheless, the reason he only studied swordplay techniques was because he thought this path was a perfect fit for him.
The plot was interesting. The future of my son who walks in a different martial arts world than myself.
However, in this regard, it was necessary to discuss again a topic that had been overlooked.
“Even though you know everything about Shin Gong, did you bother to come to Abby for permission?”
“yes.”
“I don’t care if you master all the remaining divine skills. “You know it too.”
“yes.”
“Still, there must be a clear reason why you came to see this father.”
Yeonwi’s expression became serious.
“Is it because of the next head of the family?”
Yeon Ho-jeong thought. My father’s eyes are definitely sharp.
“Are you here because you were concerned that if you mastered all the Five Great Gods, they might give you the title of Sogaju instead of Jipyeong?”
Yeon Ho-jeong did not change his mind.
“That’s right.”
“Hmm.”
Yeonwi, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, folded her arms.
“It was something that really needed to be discussed. Now that we’ve talked, let me ask you one question.”
“….”
“Other than the reason I told Abby about before, what is the reason you want to give up your position as head of the Xiao family?”
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.
“My father continues to correct my rough and rude words and actions, but that is the reason why my nature does not change easily.”
“Do you think your nature is unsuited to be the head of the main family?”
“yes.”
“Why do you think that?”
“Your father knows too. “What kind of past do I have?”
Darkness Emperor.
The king of the Black Islands and the Black Lion of the South who united the Black Islands for the first time in history.
Now there is a group called the Mukryongbu, but it is a group that did not exist during the time of the Dark Emperor. Rather, it was Yeon Ho-jeong who created such an organization solely with the help of himself and his colleagues, not from outside sources.
However, the process of making it and the governing method itself were too rigid and rough.
A ruling method that worked because it was a black island. A person who is accustomed to such methods should not lead a prestigious family of the White Island. That was Yeon Ho-jeong’s thoughts.
Yeonwi nodded.
“Yes, I have heard that you led a reign of terror to some extent and that you treated the group called Black Emperor without mercy.”
“…there was mercy. “Just a little.”
“No matter what happens, the you you were then and the you you are now are different. “Don’t you know?”
“But my nature…”
“The people who created that nature are me and your mother.”
“…?!”
“Both you and I are people of love.”
For a moment, Yeon Ho-jeong was speechless.
Yeonwi turned his head to the window.
“I thought about it once. “I wonder if I have governed my family too rigidly.”
“Is that possible? There is no other family as sure as the original family. And that’s a good thing, not a bad thing.”
“Do you really think so?”
“That’s right.”
“I also believe that when you become the head of the family, you will manage your family well.”
“father.”
“You have ruled the Black Island, but you have never ruled your home, have you?”
“….”
“You also said that the special nature of the black path is clear. Furthermore, he said that although you were the lord of the castle, you were busy fighting battles, and the people who actually ruled the Black Emperor Castle were your subordinates.”
“That’s true.”
“Thank goodness. I didn’t have the same experience as you. “When I first became the head of the family, I really had no idea where to start and how to start.”
Yeonwi turned his eyes to Yeonhojeong again.
“Because of your rough nature, you have not been able to control the Black Emperor very well. And because of his nature, he is not so timid that he would be afraid of ruling a family.”
“….”
“Your reign over the Black Emperor City is nothing but the past and experience. “Because of your personality of seeking to be better than before, there is no way you can rule your family like the Black Emperor.”
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
“Of course it should be so. But isn’t it too dangerous to entrust your family’s fate to just that one reason?”
“Everyone was like that.”
Yeonwi’s eyes lit up.
“As your father, I, my father, and your father’s father have entrusted their fate to their children.”
“….”
“And I believed it. Although he is clumsy and still lacking in many things, he is confident that he will be able to rule the family well. “The family was able to get to where it is today thanks to the trust-filled support of our ancestors.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“I think it’s time for me to hand over the sword of destiny to my child.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered.
“Father, I…”
“I know. You probably aren’t ready. You may also have doubts about your own abilities. “I also have no intention of handing over the family name to you right now.”
“….”
“However, as the head of the original family and the next head of the family, I hope you will always not neglect learning.”
In the end, Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“I’ll think about it.”
“okay.”
“…If I still refuse, you’re not going to kick me out because it’s not worth the effort, right?”
“Let’s think about it then.”
Those words were a hundred times more scary than saying they would kick me out.
“I’ll give you one day. “Think about it carefully and let’s talk again tomorrow.”
“….”
“And you can learn the Five Great Gods. No, I really want you to learn them.”
Yeon Ho-jeong wanted to think about whether there was a way to develop martial arts other than the five major gods.
