Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 487
‘Ugh…….’
The yin energy began to permeate the body, which had been deprived of its internal energy.
‘It’s really no joke, here.’
He could see why the Ice Crystal came from here rather than the colder north. Cold and yin are related, but they have distinct properties. There may be colder places, but fewer places have more yin energy.
Chung Myung gathered himself and continued to exert his energy. His internal strength was like a spider’s web.
The enhanced sense was directed down the valley.
‘Delicately.’
The important thing is not to look a lot, but to see accurately.
Finding an Ice Crystal in a valley full of yin energy is like finding a grain of sand that is slightly whiter than other sand on a pure white sandy beach.
So it’s not possible to just skim through it.
‘There must be.’
But Chung Myung’s face grew darker. No matter how much he searched and searched, he couldn’t find any traces of Ice Crystals.
There is one of the two reasons that no Ice Crystals could be seen even after looking at this extent.
One is that, indeed, the Ice Crystal itself is dried up and there is no more left.
And the other one…….
‘I can’t find it?’
Chung Myung’s eyebrows twitched.
All aside, it was a matter of pride.
‘Keuh. I didn’t want to do this.’
Chung Myung smacked his lips. And he opened the door wide toward the yin energy that was pushing into his body.
The yin and the chill penetrated in an instant. At the same time, white frost began to form on his body.
“Whoa…….”
“Sasuk, what’s wrong with him? What if something happens?”
“… Le- Let’s wait and see for a little longer.”
Mount Hua’s disciples all looked worriedly at Chung Myung.
Seueut.
Chung Myung, who assimilated himself with the yin energy, was concentrating his whole mind.
When you’re in a hot place, you can’t tell the difference between the colder and the less cold one. You have to be in a cold place to be able to distinguish the subtle differences.
The delicately forged energy scoured the surroundings like a blade.
‘There must be!’
There is no way that there is no Ice Crystal in a place with yin energy like this. If all the Ice Crystals disappeared, that would thin the yin energy here.
So there must be!
At that moment.
Flinch.
Chung Myung’s body, which had stretched out his energy, convulsed slightly.
In a cold, gloomy atmosphere, as if swimming in the deep sea.
A single ray of purity was felt. Very weak, but… ….
“Here!”
Chung Myung jumped up to his feet.
Then he sprinted to the side and slammed his fist toward the ground.
Kung!
“Sasuk! It’s here!”
“Did you find it?”
“Yes! Here it is! Dig here!”
Baek Cheon rushed over with the pickaxe he had prepared.
“Good! How much do I have to dig?”
“I think we just need to dig about thirty jang (90 meters).”
“Yes, nine…….What, you punk?”
‘Ninety?’
He said they could even flatten a mountain, but do they really have to flatten one?
“… … Is there one that is closer than that?”
“I’ll have to look for it.”
“… Let’s put this on hold for now then.”
Chung Myung smiles.
“Don’t talk nonsense and dig quickly.”
“…….”
As soon as Baek Cheon looked at Chung Myung with trembling eyes, Yoon Jong pushed Baek Cheon and stepped forward.
“I just have to dig here, right?”
“Yes.”
“Great! I’ll dig here, so you need to find another Ice Crystal soon! Ten! Ten!”
Yoon Jong rolled his eyes and started wielding a pickaxe.
Kaaang!
The hard frozen ground was not easily dented even with a pickaxe that had infused with internal strength.
But if it doesn’t work once, hit it twice, if it doesn’t work twice, hit it ten times.
Kaang! Kaang!
The ground hit by the pickaxe broke like pieces of iron and began to bounce.
“Sahyung! I’ll help too!”
Jo-Gol also grabbed the iron pickaxe firmly and began digging with Yoon Jong.
Kaang! Kaang!
The two of them instantly dug up to their waists and swung their pickaxes with their eyes gleaming like a madman.
Jo-Gol spit out swear words over and over again.
“Euaaahhh! Damn it!”
“Don’t straighten your back and work! Do a hundred swings each before looking up at the sky once!”
“Sa- Sahyung, it’s harder than I thought…….”
“Shut up and kick it!”
Jo-Gol flinched and looked at Yoon Jong.
‘He has lost his eyes.’
This yangban is simple in a weird way once in a while.
It was then.
“Amitabha, Yoon Jong Siju, Jo-Gol Siju, stop for now.”
“……Huh?”
Hye Yeon approached them with a stiff face.
“Monk.”
“Come out for a moment.”
“…….”
The two came out of the pit without saying a word. Even if it was Chung Myung’s word, Hye Yeon couldn’t have done anything useless.
Hye Yeon said with a heavy face.
“In that way, even if it takes 10 days, we can’t reach the Ice Crystals.”
“Then…….”
“Amitabha.”
Hye Yeon, who closed his eyes and chanted shortly, suddenly opened his eyes wide. The unfamiliar blue eyes shone.
“If the earth were as hard as iron!”
Uuuung!
It was not long before a golden flash began to erupt from his body.
“We can just destroy the iron! Oooooh!”
Hye Yeon’s brilliance was colored with dazzling gold. Mount Hua’s disciple, who had seen the scene before, unknowingly opened their mouths wide.
“A- Arhat Divine Fist!?”
Kwaaaa!
The martial arts that Shaolin boasts in the world, are considered the most prestigious sect in the world. The Arhat Divine Fist, one of Shaolin’s 72 Unique Martial Arts, exploded on the cold ground.
Kwareureung!
The world trembled as if there was an earthquake, and the ground jumped to pieces.
The use of such power…….
“…… for digging.”
“If Shaolin Bangjang had seen this, I think he would have grabbed the back of his neck.”
“But the effect is superb.”
Hye Yeon couldn’t keep up with the disciples of Mount Hua when it came to cutting, but it was impossible to compare both of them in terms of breaking.
The vast history and enormous power crushed the iron-hardened ground like tofu.
“Dig it up!”
“Let’s go!”
Baek Cheon and the other disciples each rushed into the pit with a shovel in their hand. Then they quickly dug out the crushed ground and stones then quickly came out of the pit.
“Ooooh!”
Kwaaang!
Hye Yeon shot his Arhat Divine Fist again. At the same time, the valley shook.
“… What are they doing?”
“M- My god.”
The terrified workers looked at the scene with trembling eyes.
They were also martial artists, but it was the first time in their life to see someone dig in such a way.
“Wha- What the hell is the monk doing, after that flash, did the earth crumble? Is it Shaolin?”
“How strong is the inner strength… … .”
It was also the same for Song Won, who was watching from the side.
‘Are all rising stars in Jungwon capable of that?’
He has heard that Jungwon’s martial arts are excellent. However, the North Sea is also heard to be second to none. However, the scene in front of him was shocking.
If the monk’s ability is that great, how strong is Mount Hua Divine Dragon that is behind him?
“Amitabha!”
Hye Yeon’s eyes lit up whenever he chanted.
“Ooooh!”
Seeing him smashing the ground while swinging his fist at random was truly astonishing.
But Mount Hua’s disciples had a completely different appreciation of the look.
“The monk, doesn’t he look excited?”
“… I’m sure he had a lot of pent-up feelings.”
“I think I know what monk Hye Yeon is thinking about.”
Hye Yeon’s power, which was seen in the past at the competition, was calmness itself. Shaolin’s fist, which kept its weight and exact balance, was the Buddha’s fist.
But now…….
Kwaaaa!
“That’s outrageous.”
“… … He lost all his personality.”
They wiped tears from their eyes as they gazed faintly at the rocks and dirt splashed excitedly on the air. They are the only ones who can understand Hye Yeon’s mind right now.
They all worked together to help Hye Yeon dig down the ground.
Everyone looked at the scene in wonder, but some simply could not be surprised at the situation.
“El- Elder.”
The warrior of the Ice Clan, who was leading the prisoners, called Bang Pyo in a trembling voice. Bang Pyo turned his head in a flinch as he looked at the scene with puzzled eyes.
The warrior of the Ice Clan asked carefully.
“Will it be okay?”
“……Well, that’s surprising.”
Although the trajectory of martial arts is different, Hye Yeon’s internal strength and the high-mastery of Fist Art have bewildered even him, the Elder of the Ice Clan.
“But it’s meaningless.”
Bang Pyo soon shook his head firmly.
“If you can dig an Ice Crystal by digging down quickly, who will suffer this hardship? That is just a meaningless waste of power. Of course, if you repeatedly repeat that, the chances of finding one will be slightly higher, but you can’t continue that as a human being.”
“Aah.”
“And if you dig like that, even if there are Ice Crystal, they will definitely turn to powder.”
“That’s right.”
“Leave them alone. Soon they will pay a fair price for what they have done.”
Bang Pyo, who finished his speech calmly, secretly swallowed dry saliva.
‘Yes, there’s no way they can find it that way.’
Even he who lived in the North Sea all his life couldn’t do it, there’s no way that those who just came from Jungwon can do it. No, they shouldn’t be able to.
Sadly, things didn’t go how he wanted them to.
“Stop! Stop there!”
When Chung Myung shouted, the disciples of Mount Hua which had become muddy, raised their heads.
“Why? I think we still need to dig more.”
“Are you going to blow up everything and the Ice Crystal as well?”
Chung Myung jumped down into the deep pit. Then he narrowed his eyes like a cat on the ground and looked around.
“Hmm.”
The smells. Smells.….
Chaeng!
The Dark Plum Blossom Sword was pulled out from Chung Myung’s waist. As the sharpest sword was swung, the ground was hard as iron was cracked like clay.
Sogok! Sogok! Sogok!
He cut the ground into squares and ripped out the whole rock.
“Eurachaa!”
Mount Hua’s disciples saw it and all came rushing in unison.
“Is it there? The Ice Crystal?”
“I think I can feel the chill.”
“…… It’s naturally cold here.”
“Ah, right.”
Chung Myung laid the rock he had ripped surrounded by them on the ground. And with both hands, very carefully and slowly, he broke it.
Crack.
The hard rock fell off like a pile of dried soil. So many times the rocks were removed with such a careful hand.
Finally.
“Oh!”
“There’s something!”
The Ice Crystal hiding in the rock was completely revealed.
A white jewel the size of a child’s palm radiated a soft blue light.
“It’s an Ice Crystal!”
“Found it!”
“Oh my god, is this real?”
Mount Hua’s disciples looked at Chung Myung with frightened eyes. They didn’t expect to find it so quickly.
Chung Myung stuffed the Ice Crystals into his sleeve with a triumphant look.
“Ahem!”
“Hey, Chung Myung!”
“That’s amazing. How did you find this?”
“You really do something we don’t understand once in a while.”
The corners of Chung Myung’s mouth twitched at the pouring praise. As he tried to press it, he had a twitch.
“Hmm. I did something great. This is nothing.”
“Let’s go up first.”
Mount Hua’s disciples climbed up the pit wall with a bright face.
Baek Cheon tapped Chung Myung on the shoulder and smiled.
“You’re also useful once in a while.”
“…Dong Ryong has grown up a lot.”
“I was originally like this. Now, let’s find the next Ice Crystal! Where is it? Where should we dig?”
“Oh……. That’s a bit of a problem.”
“Don’t worry! We can do everything!”
“Really?”
Chung Myung smiled and pointed to the side.
“There.”
“Huh? Where?”
“There.”
“…….”
Baek Cheon’s eyes moved to Chung Myung’s fingertips. Before long, his gaze reached the cliff that formed the valley.
“…… There?”
“Yes, I think I just need to dig 50 jangman.”
“…….”
“For the record, we can’t dig like this. If you hit the cliff and the cliff collapses, you won’t be able to survive even if the gods come.”
“……then what should we do?”
“What are you asking?”
Chung Myung smiles.
“You have to carefully dig in every step at a time.”
“…….”
“Go ahead. It’ll be done by today.”
Baek Cheon grinned at Chung Myung’s refreshing remarks.
‘Somehow, I thought it was easy.’
That’s right.
……rotten.
“Let’s get started without dragging our feet!”
Looking at Yoon Jong rushing to the cliff with a shovel, Baek Cheon sighed.
“I’d rather die than suffer.”
Bang Pyo, the Elder of the Ice Clan, who sees the disciples of Mount Hua walking, is speechless. At that time, a voice scratching his nerves came to his ears.
“What are you doing?”
Astonished, he turned around and saw Chung Myung smiling at him.
“I think you’ll be busy preparing meat and alcohol for everyone here.”
“…….”
‘You dare challenge me to a bet? Go to hell.’
‘Kikikikik.’
