Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 856
Episode 856
What is a Murim lord? (6)
“It’s a ticket.”
“Yes yes!”
“From now on, anyone is prohibited from entering Mugokgak. “Get the warriors outside and keep them under strict control.”
“…All right.”
After a while, Namgungpyo, who had given orders to the warriors, approached the front room again.
Namgung Seung looked at the window with his back to me.
The golden airflow flowing out the window was like a thick cloud of mist. The energy grew richer little by little, and as it reached the stairs on the floor, it gradually faded.
“That’s amazing.”
Namgung Seung let out a soft exclamation.
“The energy is mixing.”
“Mixed?”
“Originally, Yeonhojeong Sobuju contained four energies. Each and every one of them was a world-class divine skill, and just by controlling those energies exquisitely, he proved that his capabilities were great.”
“….”
“But now, those four energies are resonating and blending into one.”
“What do you mean…?”
“I don’t know. “What will the results be?”
Namgung Seung’s eyes sparkled.
“However, I too must have come to a realization that is difficult to describe in writing, and I will show a different side of myself than before.”
For those who have reached the top, enlightenment is both medicine and poison.
Thanks to a single lightning-quick realization, your level may rise significantly, or on the other hand, it may plummet to the bottom.
So this moment is important. The reason Namgung Seung controlled Mugokgak was to reduce variables as much as possible.
“Take a good look.”
Namgung Seung placed his hand on Namgung Pyo’s shoulder.
“If you let go of everything and act with one mind, you will reach the same level as me.”
* * *
The world has changed once again.
Has a year passed? Or has it been two years?
Whoa whoa!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was hit in the chest by his teacher’s hand, flew away and rolled on the ground, vomiting blood.
“Cough!”
The color of the blood was unusual. He suffered serious internal injuries.
His complexion was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. However, Yeon Ho-jeong’s posture as he slowly stood up did not waver.
“You still haven’t figured it out.”
The teacher was still blunt. He didn’t even lift an eyebrow.
“Look.”
The teacher walked in front of the rock and gently stretched out his palm.
A touch that is neither fast nor slow. It was the route of Blue Dragon Balju, the three types of dragons of Cheongryonggong.
thud!
The rock shook with a dull sound.
That was it. It did not split the rock or send it flying with its overwhelming strength.
“How do you feel?”
“…I do not know.”
The teacher struck the sword without a word.
Jump!
I just punched the air and the rock split in half.
For a moment, young Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were filled with astonishment. Yeonho-jung, who was seeing fantasy in reality, was greatly surprised.
The young Yeon Ho-jeong was surprised by the condition inside the rock, and the real Yeon Ho-jeong was surprised by the teacher’s slash that split the rock.
“Did you see it?”
“How…?”
The center of the rock that was hit by the sun was carved out in a round shape. It was as big as a child’s head, and the moment it split, stone dust flew in the wind.
“It is called the internal heavy hand method. It’s too much for you now. But you must have seen what martial arts skills I had in hitting this rock.”
“Blue Dragon… It was a Blue Dragon order.”
“Blue Dragon Ball is a counterattack technique that counterattacks the enemy’s attack with strong elasticity. “By itself, it doesn’t have much power.”
“….”
“The structure is good, but the reality is different. Even though there was no enemy attack, I made the rock like this. “If it were a human body, it would have died immediately.”
“How is this possible?”
“You just have to throw away common sense.”
“yes?”
“The white tiger is responsible for attack and the blue dragon is responsible for counterattacking and evading. Suzaku is a method of instant death, and Hyeonmu is an absolute defense. Is that correct?”
“That’s right.”
“I struck back the fist you threw with my white tiger ball and defeated it. “Then did I attack or defend?”
“…!”
“Your swinging leg was blocked by the Northern Twelve Wall and bounced off. You failed to keep your posture and fell down the cliff. So, did I play defense or attack?”
“….”
“Attack, defense, evasion, counterattack, shooting, and archery are all one. “Each has its own characteristics and can be used in dozens or hundreds of situations.”
“…okay.”
“That’s why Sasinmu is difficult. This is because having mastered Sasinmu perfectly means that it is possible to implement martial arts through instinctive combinations even in a trance.”
“Ah…”
“Getting to that point is the entrance. This is why Sasinmu is called the strongest fighting technique.”
“…!!”
“Furthermore, once you go through the process of training and reach the pinnacle, the path becomes extremely simple. “The subtlety of energy will take the place of that.”
“perfection.”
“Yes. If you reach that point, you can say you have reached the pinnacle. However, it is only the pinnacle of combat skills and is not the end of Sasinmu.”
“You mean it’s not the end?”
“Don’t be swayed by common sense. “The moment you break down all common sense, Sasinmu turns into a divine king’s skill.”
“….”
“That’s all I have to say.”
“By Shinwanggong, do you mean the yellow dragon you mentioned before?”
“It is a very distant state for you. Maybe we won’t get there until we die. Forget about it now.”
Whoa!!
The world has changed once again.
It was already the fourth time. Every time the world changed, Yeon Ho-jeong was able to clearly see himself in the past when he trained with his teacher.
At the same time, Yeon Ho-jeong was greatly surprised.
‘Have things like that happened?’
Every day was a hellish training day. It was a series of days that were so terrible that I couldn’t forget them even if I wanted to.
But looking at it like this, I realized that I had really forgotten a lot.
In particular, the words the teacher said were all fresh. It made me wonder if something like that had really happened.
Yeon Ho-jeong entered another world and listened to his teacher.
“The reason I passed on Hongcheongi to you was because your basics were so weak. Of course, Hongcheongi alone can be said to be a cutting edge technique, but if you want to go beyond that, you will need some kind of enlightenment. Or practice a new martial art that is more suitable for Sashinmu.”
The world has changed once again.
It changed again and again.
Each time, the teacher’s words shook Yeon Ho-jeong’s mind and heart.
“Knowing the world is as important as learning martial arts. If you only learn martial arts, you may not know the world, but if you learn the world, you can grow in martial arts as well. “Don’t just rely on martial arts and try to go wild, but try to see more.”
“Emotions are illusions. Because it is invisible. But such illusions make humans human. “Then what does this clearly visible body define as a human being?”
“Don’t turn away because you can’t see it, and don’t ignore it because you can’t hear it. If you try to see, you will see it; if you try to listen, you will hear it. In the end, all five senses are within my heart.”
“When interpreting any phenomenon, you should always try to see the root. However, not all efforts are visible. In order to understand the fundamentals, we must look even further from the outside. Therefore, you must see everything. Insight comes from there.”
“There are as many personalities as there are people born into the world. Everyone who passes by is different and special. “To achieve my own perfection in such a world, I must know what is the single quality that runs through countless personalities.”
“What is martial arts to you? Is it a means? Is it a purpose? If it’s a means, you’ll live with a smile; if it’s a goal, you’ll live in pain. But…”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was calmly reviewing his teacher’s words, suddenly felt pain as if a lightning bolt had struck the top of his head.
“If you aim at martial arts, you will master it even though it may be painful.”
hook!
In an instant, the world became dark.
Yeon Ho-jeong blinked. It was back to the original darkness again.
But for some reason I wasn’t embarrassed. I just felt comfortable.
“Do you understand?”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked back.
There was a teacher who looked after him.
The face was somehow blurry, but that didn’t matter. Because it is important that he is a teacher.
Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.
“It has escalated so far.”
“It was I who left you behind. “There is nothing to say.”
“Is that so.”
The two stopped talking for a moment.
It was the teacher who broke the silence that seemed like forever.
“You are also very old.”
“You are still young.”
“No way.”
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong touched his chin.
I looked at my hands, opened my top, and looked down at my chest.
It was the body of the Emperor of Darkness. Here was the body that lived for several more years as the body of the Emperor of Darkness, not Yeon Ho-jeong, who was called by the nickname of the Supreme King after his return.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking down at her body, smiled and said.
“yes. “I ate quite a bit.”
“Even though you have lived so long, your spirit is still young. “The hot, pulsating vitality is clearly visible.”
“….”
“You grew up well.”
“…!”
“Now I feel rewarded for teaching.”
Yeon Ho-jeong felt like he was crying.
In all the years we were together, my teacher never gave me a compliment that sounded like a compliment. He was a blunt person who was extremely stingy with praise and was far from loving.
A compliment from a teacher for the first time.
He is a benefactor who finally smiles not because of his martial achievements, but because his soul has not aged.
Yeon Ho-jeong, trying to control her growing emotions, asked calmly.
“What exactly is your identity, Master?”
“That’s not important. “As if this space is not important, as if it is meaningless to question whether the person in front of you right now is real or not.”
“…He is like that too.”
“Isn’t it enough just to be able to see you again like this?”
“It’s not enough.”
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke clearly.
“I hope to see you again in the clear world.”
“It will happen if the kite reaches it.”
“If heaven is lax in retribution, it can be done with human hands.”
“….”
“If heaven won’t let the thread of fate touch, all I have to do is force it to touch.”
“When I was young, I didn’t know that he was very talkative, but now I see that his speaking skills are quite good.”
“I hear it often.”
The teacher waved the air with his hand.
“You know, but I am just a thought.”
“….”
“When you truly reach this realm, I wanted to see you at least once. “I thought I would never see you again.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered.
“Is that possible?”
“You have already visited the mountain full of beauty left behind by someone who took off his human mask and became a hermit.”
It probably means Mt. Wudang.
“How do you know that, Master?”
“It’s a thought, but it’s inside you.”
All he did was respond to his words.
However, each and every word of the teacher sounded strangely lyrical. It touched my heart and complicated my mind.
“Hate was as deep as the bottomless pit, and hatred was as wide as the sea. “You were that kind of kid.”
“….”
“You managed to abandon everything and come this far.”
“I couldn’t throw it away. “I just let go of martial arts for a moment.”
“For a warrior, martial arts is like life. “Now that you have mastered the martial arts, you will soon be able to let go of your resentment and hatred.”
“…yes.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was nodding his head and looking at his teacher, instantly widened his eyes.
The teacher was smiling. Although I still couldn’t see his face clearly, I could clearly see that he was smiling.
“Now go.”
“Master.”
“Don’t misunderstand the yellow dragon. The yellow dragon is enlightenment. Even if you reach that point, it doesn’t mean you’ll become two or three times stronger right away.”
The teacher turned around.
“Just like when you hit the rock with your immature fist all those years ago, you will have to go through the process of being covered in blood countless times before you can even enter the gate. The best in the central region is still far away.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at his teacher’s back with shaking eyes, smiled and said.
“But isn’t it worth looking at now?”
The teacher stopped walking.
The teacher slowly turned around and smiled when he saw Yeon Ho-jeong.
“You were always worth looking at.”
“….”
“Don’t dwell on lost relationships and keep moving forward.”
With those words, the teacher disappeared.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking into the darkness, slowly bowed.
and.
Hahaha!
The darkness cleared.
