My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 255

#255

Zhuge Dynasty (1)

Yongzhong Mountain, Hubei Province.

This was the place where the Zhuge Dynasty, a strongman who ruled the area, settled down, and it was also the land where one of the dragon veins was located.

In fact, since Yongmaek was also included in Feng Shui in the first place, it was no exaggeration to say that most of the strongholds of famous powers were located in such famous places.

Whether they occupied good land based on their strong power or their power grew because they were in good land, it all depends.

Thanks to this, they were able to maintain relative stability even in this chaotic situation, and were risking their lives to protect their home base while waging a war to secure additional dragon veins.

In addition, the Zhuge family was a renowned and renowned family that was ranked among the first in the field of fighting techniques and martial arts.

The defenses around Yongjung Mountain, where they were located, were literally like an impenetrable fortress that no one could attack.

‘That was so…’

Today, the second commander of the Heavenly Energy Guard, who was in charge of the outer security of the Zhuge family, held his sword and glared at the uninvited guest in front of him.

The place where they are now is inside Daerageumsaejin (大羅禁碎陳), the sixth of the seven camps spread out on Mt. Yongjung.

Except for the final formation, which assumed the enemy had already infiltrated the inside of Sega, it was virtually the final line of resistance.

The family’s proud formation spread throughout Yongzhong Mountain… The defense they had been so confident in had been breached to this point in an instant.

At first glance, it could be said that it was a disgraceful act unworthy of their reputation, but of course they had something to say.

‘You destroyed the Jinbeop through the crazy sky and came straight here?’

In the first place, since the formation method itself involved using specific pieces or natural terrain, it had no choice but to specialize in dealing with enemies on the ground.

Of course, Zhuge Dynasty had some countermeasures against the air, including some magic tricks, but even that had its limits. There was no way he could have been prepared for an opponent who freely roamed the sky and climbed over an entire mountain!

‘Even if this mountain isn’t that high…!’

When the intrusion was first detected at the beginning of the mountain, I did not think it was a big deal.

Then, as soon as the intruder who broke through there entered the second camp, an emergency summons was immediately issued… Even though

the opponent’s entry speed was fast, it was too fast.

‘We need to make as much time as possible here!’

A situation in which they had to somehow buy time until the rest of Sega finished preparing for battle.

Gritting his teeth, the Second Lord held the sword in his hand tightly and opened his mouth with a serious expression.

“…A final warning. “Please explain the reason for trespassing on this family’s territory without permission.”

No matter how much Daerageumsaejin assisted them, it was forbidden to make a rash move against such an unidentified expert.

The best way to learn about the other person is by spending time talking to them.

But unexpectedly, the intruder responded by nodding obediently.

“Oh, this was rude. nice to meet you “My name is Harry Su. I came to visit because I wanted to ask you a few things on my way home.”

“…In the world, unauthorized visits are usually called trespassing.”

“oh! Is that so? As you can probably tell, I am not from here. ha ha ha!”

The warriors of the Zhuge Dynasty looked dumbfounded at that shameless answer.

Of course, it has a unique appearance that makes you recognize that you are a foreigner at a glance, but it is a bit difficult to insist that such a basic thing is a cultural difference…

‘No, isn’t it? It doesn’t seem like he’s even a human being, let alone an outsider. …Do you really not know human culture because you’re a monster? ‘What should I do in this case?’

When such a reasonable suspicion arose, the second ruler’s expression showed confusion.

When the other person intruded in, I thought it was a definite enemy, but since the intruder’s attitude was so carefree, I started to get confused about how to respond.

“…In that case, please wait here for a moment. Welcoming guests requires preparation. “Would you please follow that level?”

His decision was to take the other person’s words in moderation and take advantage of them.

The superiors would make the decision anyway, and his job was to take as much time as possible.

“I think I was very rude here. So shall we do that?”

The acceptance was so cool that it was as if the warriors were extremely nervous.

Harris, an uninvited guest with blond green eyes and long ears, nodded calmly.

***

‘The goal is to increase influence, but there is no need to allocate strength to all forces. The enemies were underqualified by my standards, but it doesn’t seem like the Zhuge family is exploiting those around them that much.’

Of course, the current uproar was created by showing a little of this side’s power to build a smooth relationship, but isn’t this just common self-promotion that can be found everywhere?

And although he didn’t show it outwardly, Harris was secretly impressed by the strategy that forced him to come down to the ground as he was about to storm into Sega.

‘Is this really the correct method? ‘Isn’t it great?’

To be more precise, he was completely fascinated by the flow of energy connected to the area, himself, and each warrior.

The natural energy flowing through the counter like a cog wheel feels like a work of art.

And feeling that sentiment was on a completely different level—.

The same was true for the Immortal King in the immortality of Outerica.

[Hmm, this is interesting. It’s enough to forcibly oppress a strong person the size of Harris… Now I see that the five formations we passed earlier are also connected to this place, amplifying their effects. Was this the extent of the method?]

Hans, who was conducting research alone in the closet, slightly tilted his head and muttered lowly.

The ‘true method’, which was incorporated into the ‘Way of Magic’ after encountering it on Earth, was a method he often used because it was versatile in many ways.

Just adding a little bit of it while drawing a magic circle or setting up an altar dramatically amplified the effect, so there was no reason not to use it.

However, with the level of knowledge he had, it was impossible to completely overcome the brute force of Zhuge Sega, the best in the Gangwhan world.

The only reason we were able to break through and enter there was because a talented person named Harris targeted the weak point of the air.

[Well, a force of that size would probably have a few visions like that. Hehehe… I really want this.]

Once you learn anything, it becomes useful.

When Hans, who was so greedy for magic, was burning out his personal desires.

Harris was still concentrating on the movement of energy flowing within the formation itself.

‘If you look closely, it seems that this Jinbeop is also related to the Eight Trigrams of Muyu Bagua Bikong’s Eight Trigrams.’

Harris, who was otherwise sensitive to energy, became even more sensitive to the energy of this world as he became exposed to martial arts.

To him, the pinnacle of this Jinbeop, which uses the energy flowing in the world to create harmony in all kinds of nature, was nothing short of an excellent teaching aid.

‘The nature of Qi, its operation, the laws of the world contained therein, and the Qigong that encompasses all of it…’

Feeling that something was tickling in his head, Harris again recalled the essence of the Wuyu Bagua Secret Technique and moved his Qi little by little.

And Hubert, who shared the situation in real time through his senses, also naturally shifted the direction of analysis and assisted him.

‘Okay, when I thought about it, we had different conditions, so there was no need to follow the rules.’

In this world, humans who pursued the power of martial arts began by imitating exceptional beings from birth.

From wild beasts that threatened their survival to the movements of herbivores that, although weak, still had excellent survival skills.

And beyond animals, it began to include natural phenomena such as waterfalls and lightning, and eventually came to express idols such as the moon and sun, as well as abstract concepts such as death and abundance.

‘And what Muyu Bagua Bikong pursues is harmony with all things in heaven and earth… that is, with nature. ‘I already have an abundance of it.’

If that’s the case, you don’t need that part, so boldly throw it away.

He again used the incomplete Muyu Bagua Bikong and replaced the essential point about harmony with nature with the overwhelming affinity derived from “Nature’s Fairy Tale” and “Nature’s Call”.

Gooooo—

A huge amount of natural energy came from all directions, and the flow that made up the formation began to shake.

Then he felt the Mu-in representative in front of him shout something, but that wasn’t that important to him right now.

I skipped unnecessary steps and only took what I was lacking.

Since Hubert had already completed the overall analysis, there was no problem in proceeding as is.

‘Harmony. ‘Fill in what is lacking with excess and grow together.’

The rushing energy rushed into Harris’ body and began to form a small inner circle at the Danjeon area.

Although his overloaded body creaked due to the sudden change, Harris, who had already ascended to transcendence and perfected his spirit body, quickly accepted it all and adapted in an instant.

And finally.

《The object fulfills the conditions and blooms its potential. Acquires the special skill “Natural Retardation.”》

《The entity gained enlightenment through repeated training. Acquire the skill 「Muyu Bagua Secret Gong (改)」.》

I thought that it would be possible to obtain something only after a considerable period of time had passed, but due to an unexpected opportunity, I was able to reap the benefits much earlier than expected.

And Harris could feel it instinctively.

At the same time as learning “Natural Body,” the possibility of forming relationships with more diverse types of spirits was opened up to me.

‘…I’m really looking forward to going back to Outerica.’

A faint smile appeared on Harris’ face as he took in the turbulent energy.

Maybe it won’t be long before we will even be able to summon the Spirit King, who is no different from a semi-divine.

“ah!”

And only then did Harris, who was so nervous about his surroundings, hurriedly look around and made an embarrassed expression when he saw the warriors glaring at him with hard faces full of cold sweat.

“Ugh, what… this doesn’t make any sense…”

“Haa— haa—.”

That has to be the case.

While I was immersed in my own world, the barrier was unable to withstand the flow of energy… no, the true law collapsed. How terrible.

‘It’s difficult. It wasn’t intentional.’

Didn’t he pretend to wait obediently and suddenly become a monster who went on a rampage and destroyed the line?

At this point, it was like a blatant declaration of war.

‘No, it would be better to take over by force and make people listen to what they say…’

It was around this time that Harris’s thoughts became more and more extreme.

“…Muyu Bagua Secret. Are you really a descendant of Cheon Gi-mun?”

A heavy and old voice rang out.

And Harris, who had already sensed the crowd that had begun to surround him on all sides, naturally turned his gaze to look at the person who spoke to him.

An old man slowly walking towards me with his eyes closed and a cane in hand, with several warriors behind him.

“Huh! Lord Taesang?”

Representative Mu-in, who had been dealing with Harris so far, looked at him in surprise, but the old man did not respond and continued speaking in a sombre tone.

“The secret of manipulating the guardians of nature and leading the phenomenon…. It was a martial art that was the opposite of the Kimunjinbeop. “It was a study to change the flow of energy at will, which is the basis of formation.”

Harris paused at those words.

Should we really say that it is the famous Zhuge Dynasty?

It was also unusual to see that he knew exactly the name and effect of the martial art.

“Hehehe, what kind of trick of fate is this? I thought that Muryang Seonja and his disciple lost their lives and his pulse was completely cut off from him. And if it’s at this level… it can easily be called a beautiful landscape.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him stiffened in an instant.

Although I felt the flow of tremendous energy and had an idea to some extent, the weight I felt was different after the eldest member of the family made the announcement.

No matter how Hyeon-gyeong was the opponent, he was confident that he would not lose even if he could not win if he used the last remaining power in Sega, but the opponent was someone who had the ability to match their Jinbeop, which was their specialty.

In other words, if they clashed like this, they would definitely lose.

“This is a really distinguished guest, but the old man talked a lot. So, Mr. Daehyeop, what purpose did you visit this place?”

And in an instant, Harris, who sensed the reactions of those around him, quietly stroked his chin and looked at the old man.

The term ‘taesang family head’ refers to the previous head of the family, so the authority must be enormous, but such a person was the first to bow down and extend a hand while talking about ‘distinguished guests’.

If you do this, you will have a greater advantage than you initially thought.

It was a very good start.

“Aha, there are a few things I’d like to ask you… and something else I’d like to ask you for. That’s right…”

In this situation, it was just a request, in fact, it was no different from coercion.

Of course, for a smooth relationship in the future, you shouldn’t ask for something that goes too far.

“Can I go in and talk first? I think I’ve been leaving this outside for too long. “His hospitality as a guest is excellent…”

As soon as the opportunity arose, it was Harris whose temperament deteriorated and he immediately turned arrogant.
