Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 223
[Level Up with God Episode 223]
* * *
“If you’re going to get it on the 50th floor… it’s definitely Hwaan Geumjeong.”
“You mean the next step of Hwaan?”
“Because it was there that I obtained the Hwaan Geumjeong. “I would say it is the most likely.”
From the tutorial to the 1st and 2nd floors…
and up to the 50th floor.
While deciding what to do on each floor, a story about the 50th floor came up.
“What is the difference between Hwaan and Hwaan Geumjeong? “We have never used it before.”
“difference? “It’s huge.”
When the topic of conversation turned to him, Son Goku responded in a condescending manner, as always.
“At first, I felt that Hwaan just had good eyesight.”
If you think about it, the ability to see was not that great of a skill compared to its grade.
Being able to read the opponent’s movements in advance and react to them was a pretty good advantage, but it wasn’t a condition that would make it a level A or higher skill.
“But as my skill level increased, I started to see things that were different. You can see and feel the opponent’s movements in advance. “I can see truth and lies.”
Of course, Son Goku did not find that strange.
To him, the skill level was nothing more or less than just displayed letters.
However, by fighting Surtra in the tutorial, I obtained the Fire Eye, and by reaching the 50th floor, I obtained the Fire Eye Golden Jewel.
“This snow isn’t final yet.”
Goku gradually learned about the eye.
“Hwaan Geumjeong is the road to wisdom eye.”
* * *
Foresight.
A skill told only in legend within a tower that is said to have the power to foresee the future.
When that skill was mentioned from Son Goku’s mouth, the conference room went into an uproar.
They say that if Son Goku had gained that skill, he might not have lost the fight against Outer.
of course.
‘If he gets it… what difference will it make?’
Yuwon looked up at the red-stained sky and smiled.
Son Ogong.
Even though he was a top 10 high ranker, he was not very smart.
He’s smarter than anyone else when he fights, but outside of it, he’s dumber than anyone else.
That is why, when choosing the owner of Clockwork, Yuwon was chosen rather than Son Goku.
‘I know the future anyway… but I still need foresight.’
no.
Rather, foresight was even more necessary for that reason.
Since it is a skill that no one has ever acquired, the exact effect is not known, but it is clear that foresight has the power to see the future.
Yuwon believed Son Goku’s information.
To be precise, I believed in his sense that he had almost reached the level of foresight by opening Hwaan Geumjeong.
Yejian was clearly a real skill.
Jeopuk-.
Son Goku, who had been walking ahead, turned his head.
“Is it worth holding on?”
Grrrr-.
Bedrock and land with lava flowing.
A place where even the sky turned red like fire due to the intense heat.
This was a place like hell where even a decent ranker could barely stand.
“It’s warm.”
[‘Hwaan’ resists ‘Inferno’.]
[Resistance is successful.]
Of course, Yuwon was not one to succumb to this level.
Among Yuwon’s many attributes, the one with the highest resistance was fire.
Not only the resistance of Hwaan, but also Yuwon’s own resistance to fire was considerable.
“I’m glad it’s warm. but. “You shouldn’t make it too difficult like this.”
With a triumphant look on his face, Son Goku walked ahead.
Son Goku’s first alter ego.
He was the strongest among his clones, and of course he was the one who wielded the power of Hwaan Geumjeong the most freely.
King Uma did not follow.
In the first place, this is a land abandoned by the heavens, and there is no great danger if there is only one Son Goku.
Right now, the priority was for Uma King to recover.
Yuwon, who was following after Son Goku, sighed and took in the surrounding scenery again.
‘It’s hell.’
I’ve heard a lot of stories.
A place where hot lava flows that even rankers are reluctant to enter.
Therefore, it is difficult to find even a single person, and it is a place where criminals who committed serious crimes were imprisoned until prisons were created in heaven.
‘But still…’
Yuwon frowned as sweat dripping from his forehead came into his eyes.
‘It’s quite hot.’
I thought that if I simply set foot here, I would be able to endure it enough.
It didn’t actually feel hot. But at some point, the flames broke through Yuwon’s resistance and made him feel the heat.
The sweat on my forehead increased. Yuwon eventually created magical power to protect his body.
How long did it take to walk like that?
“This place is the same.”
Goku whistled at the distant scenery.
It was now an abandoned land even in heaven, but traces of the long past still remained.
A huge iron cage.
A long chain connected to the ground.
A huge prison capable of holding tens of thousands of people was built in the middle of a plain infested with fire.
“It’s the Eight Trigrams.”
With Bagua.
A heavenly prison where Son Goku was imprisoned for over a hundred years.
no.
“It was an execution site for criminals who committed serious crimes.”
A prison that draws the heat of hell into its unbreakable iron bars.
Therefore, Palguaro is not just a prison, but has long been used as an execution site to imprison and kill heavenly criminals.
of course.
The use of the Bagua was completely abandoned thousands of years ago by Son Wukong.
“The main body survived inside there. “I withstood flames hotter than lava in a device created by gathering the world’s magic power.”
Son Goku turned his head and looked at Yuwon.
“These eyes were obtained through that process.”
Hwaan Geumjeong’s Hwaan could be obtained through fighting Surtra, the boss in the tutorial.
But the real completion took place right here in Palgua Road.
That was the history of Hwaan Geumjeong.
Yuwon was now faced with having to repeat history.
“how is it? “Is it worth it?”
“…I have to try it.”
Jeopuk-.
Yuwon walked towards Bagua Road without hesitation.
The Eight Trigrams were much further than I first thought.
It was so big that it seemed like it was close.
Palgwaero felt like a large baseball stadium that could accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.
‘I feel sorry for you too.’
I had that thought for no reason.
I can’t believe that this amazing building, whose creation I don’t know, was abandoned like this just because it failed to execute one Son Goku.
‘but.’
Yuwon smiled at the thought that came to his mind.
‘In today’s era of peace, it’s an ugly thing just to exist.’
Last thousand years.
For a thousand years after the outbreak of Gigantomachia and the Celestial War, this tower was truly peaceful.
Without any major incidents or wars, the heavenly world was busy filling and fattening its stomach every day.
And it wasn’t just heaven.
Murim, Olympus, Asgard, Veda…
It was the same for all guilds and the world.
So they forgot.
The fight that comes after a long period of peace can become a war as big as that long peace.
‘Besides…’
Yuwon stretched out his hand towards the door leading into Bagua.
‘Because a scaffold that cannot kill people has no meaning anymore.’
Cheeeee-.
A burning sensation was conveyed through the handle of the Bagua.
Hot fire was transmitted through the palm of my hand.
For a moment, I felt like I was walking into a pit of fire.
The moment you open this door.
The fire that has been consumed by Bagua for a long time will consume him.
“True….”
Gulp-.
Yuwon once again remembered what kind of guy Son Goku was.
“How did you survive in a place like this?”
Klik-.
Yuwon opened the door.
Then, sure enough, it was different.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
A huge fire demon attacked Yuwon.
* * *
Hwareuk Hwareuk-.
The first thing I felt heat was my face.
It felt like the moisture covering the skin of my face was instantly dry and twisted, and my bones were burning hot.
Only then did Yuwon understand why Bagua Road was used as an execution site rather than a simple prison.
[‘Hwa’an’ resists ‘Bagua Road’.]
[Resistance fails.]
[‘Clothes of the Four Elements’ resists ‘Bagua Road’.] [
Resistance fails.]
[‘Seonghwa’ Resisting ‘Bagua Road’.]
[Some resistances failed.]
Resistance was impossible with any skill or any item.
The flames in Bagua were so hot that the air outside the inferno felt rather cool.
‘I was confident in my ability to resist fire.’
In the first place, Yuwon took at least ten years to take this test.
If it lasts longer, about twenty or thirty years. However, I chose to take on the challenge right away even if it was a bit of a strain due to the faster-than-expected growth.
A magic stat of over 120, stamina well over 100, and even a skill called Seonghwa.
This was because it was considered to have sufficient resistance to fire.
however.
“Whoa-.”
Nevertheless, I couldn’t let down my guard.
In an instant, Yuwon came to his senses as he exhaled the hot flames that had entered deep into his lungs.
‘We can’t lose here.’
If I were to lose to this fire, I might end up dying here instead of getting the Hwaan Geumjeong.
‘Unlike Son Goku, I am not immortal now.’
Son Goku gains an immortal body.
Cheongye, who tried to kill Son Wukong using the Eight Trigrams, ultimately fails to kill Son Wukong.
Rather, in the process, Son Goku absorbed the magical power of Bagua and obtained the Hwaan Geumjeong.
[The trial of Bagua begins.]
[Resist the flames of Bagua.]
[24:00:00]
24 hours.
It was a dizzying time just to watch.
I can’t believe I had to survive in this hot fire for 24 hours.
no.
‘Actually it’s probably much longer than that.’
That was the problem.
Was the Bagua test really a test that Son Goku, who possessed an immortal body, was able to pass?
The power of immortality was not a power that could be obtained no matter how much one returned to the past. Moreover, it was a power that was useless in the fight against Outer in the first place, so there was no need to covet it.
How many days was Son Goku trapped in Bagua Road?
“I was trapped there for a few days…”
When asked how long he had to be trapped in the Eight Trigrams to obtain the Hwaan Geumjeong, Son Goku answered while counting on his fingers.
“I think I was trapped for about a hundred days and two more days. Now that I think about it, I don’t know how I did that because I was bored. Besides, I just hate being hot.”
I hate being hot.
It was nothing else, but something to be said about the fire magic of Bagua. Even if you ate up the entire peninsula of heaven, the heat of the Eight Trigrams would not be very painful.
Perhaps because of Son Goku’s evaluation, Yuwon was secretly looking down on the fire of Bagua Road.
Because I have obtained the eye of peace and even have the clothes of the four great spirits.
He thought that if Son Goku could do it, he could do it too.
however.
“This….”
Grumble, growl.
As time passed, Yuwon muttered, his whole body turning bright red.
“Is it a bit difficult?”
[‘Hwaan’ reacts to ‘Bagua Road’.]
Son Goku was trapped in the Bagua Road after losing the battle with Heaven.
And now Yuwon has begun the test that Son Goku went through.
