Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 234

Episode 234 A step toward a new world (6)

When I came back, Panmajeong looked like a fairyland in full bloom, just like before.

Seoliang looked around in amazement and was amazed.

“I always feel this, but this is a truly amazing place.”

“is it.”

“yes. The strange air is especially surprising. Would you say it feels cozy yet mysteriously different? “The spiritual energy is abundant, so it’s like a bamboo forest.”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

“It has to be that way. “This is an imaginary world modeled after the ancient bamboo forest.”

“I see… Yes?”

Seolyang opened his eyes wide.

“It was modeled after the ancient bamboo forest?”

Lee Cheon-sang waved his hand in the air.

Then, one by one, small lights, like starlight, appeared in the empty space, and soon they became a halo of light, moving around following his hand.

It was a mysterious sight.

“Gojuklim is a mysterious forest that existed here in Daesan even before our school was established. The place is full of all kinds of spirit creatures that cannot be known whether they are real or imaginary.

“You’ve probably seen it too.”

“I saw it. “I almost died several times.”

Xu Liang frowned.

The period of time spent in Gojuk Forest lasted only eight months. However, those eight months of experience were firmly embedded in my mind as powerful memories that I would never forget.

“The monsters and unreasonable things recorded in the Mountains and Seas are running rampant?”

“The Book of Mountains and Seas itself is a wonderful book created based on imagination. It’s a product of fiction. Among them, only a few of them actually exist in reality.”

“Well, there’s a lot of miscellaneous information… huh?”

Surprise appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.

“Do you mean that there are only a few spirit creatures that exist in reality, and that some of the spirit creatures written in the Mountain and Sea Classic really exist?”

“Of course. “Didn’t you see it too?”

“Me?”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes became strange.

“You don’t know yet.”

“…?”

“I am referring to the fox sirang you carry with you.”

Xu Liang’s eyes flashed.

“You mean Kumho.”

“I see you are called Geumho. “No matter what you call him, he is a true spirit creature that is difficult to reappear in the world.”

“Sirang…”

I knew right away that Geumho was a spirit creature. Because Geumho gave the impression of being closer to mystery rather than being unique or strange.

However, I did not know that it was a spiritual object carried in the Mountain and Sea Mirror.

“Among the fox monsters, the one that boasts the most recognition is the nine-tailed fox that lives in Cheongsan Mountain.

But it cannot be compared to Sirang in terms of influence on the world. Of course, I have never seen a nine-tailed fox either.”

“What do you mean influence?”

“There is a legend that when Sirang appears, war will break out in the country.”

“…!”

“So in the past, people treated Sirang as a plague that brought death. It has to be that way. “Every time he appears, all kinds of trouble breaks out.”

Seo-ryang’s face hardened.

“It is fundamentally different from the spirit creatures born from the harmony of energy and other monsters and spirit creatures.

Whether it is a plague or a war, the fact that tribulation occurs due to it is itself a great thing.

Changing the flow of human life just by existing means that the energy contained in a sirang is so active that it is involved in destiny.”

“…That’s amazing.”

“In the end, wait. The harmony of heaven and earth ultimately begins and ends with energy. And then we start again again.

Sirang is exactly like that. “Because he is also a spirit being who dies and comes back to life repeatedly.”

What immediately came to Seoryang’s mind was the Geumho as a cub, sleeping soundly in the center of the bamboo forest.

The Geumho, whose body was as long as the forearm, was clearly a cub. Like a baby who had just seen the light of day, he had the purest vitality.

‘I took off my body that had reached the end of its lifespan and was reborn…’

Seoryang’s eyes deepened.

“I didn’t know Kumho was such an amazing guy.”

“It seemed so.”

“yes. “To me, he’s just a good friend.”

“You have a cruel friend.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“Isn’t he the perfect friend for the leader of a Protestant religion that the world calls a den of evil spirits?”

The corners of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth rose.

“He is like that too.”

“But why are you here?”

Lee Cheon-sang sat down on a small rock.

It was an attitude that seemed carefree at first glance, but seemed infinitely free. I was impressed by how much more free-spirited Lee Cheon-sang was than usual.

“Did you say you were Lord Guyu?”

“My magician?”

“Yes.”

“That’s right.”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

“Recite the precepts and the sermon.”

Seo-ryang didn’t bother to ask why. If Lee Cheon-sang is curious, there must be a reason. There was no need to inquire.

He recited the phrase slowly. He could recite it two or three times, but for some reason, it seemed like Lee Cheon-sang would be able to understand everything about Gu Yumagong after just hearing it once.

In fact, didn’t Lee Cheon-sang find a point of improvement just by dealing with Amyeongjin Magic Gong a few times who didn’t know how to use Gugyeol and internal power?

Seo-ryang’s guess was exactly right.

“That’s amazing.”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes changed.

It was a look filled with surprise.

“I felt it when I dealt with it, but hearing it like this, it’s not normal.”

“Uh… it’s a bit new. “Didn’t you write down your feelings to supplement just by dealing with them before?”

“We just released a few animals to run around in a forest full of life. And now I looked at each tree. So it has to be different.”

“ah.”

“I know that Buddhism’s martial arts was superimposed on Jinmagong. “The foundation is magic arts, but what strengthened the tower was magic arts, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Although they have completely melted into one, their individual characteristics are still clear. “It is a masterpiece that no one can easily create.”

I feel proud that Lee Cheon-sang said that. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Guyumagong is a piece of magic that will go down in history, to the point where absolute figures of all times and times can call it a masterpiece.

“But it’s still a shame.”

“Is that so?”

“Guyumagong is a complete martial arts in itself. It is a luxury product with nothing to add or take away. But there is one big drawback. Do you know what it is?”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“It’s history.”

“I saw it clearly. Guyu Magic Ball is a magic ball that you created yourself. “It boasts an unbelievable degree of perfection for a martial art created by the hands of one person.”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.

“The reigning Demon Emperor is different.”

“….”

“Dominion Demon Emperor Qi is the best demonic art in the world, both in name and reality, having been modified and supplemented over several generations since it was framed by the First Heavenly Demon.

“The level of magical arts is not much different from that of the Old Yu Demonic Gong, but in terms of its vastness, it surpasses the Old Yu Demonic Gong.”

Xu Liang accepted it obediently.

What’s great about Guyu Demon Gong is the martial law that penetrates the devil from beginning to end.

Dividing it into stages is the Gate of Hell, and the more you pass through the levels, the easier it is to move on to the next realm.

However, what was given up for that great perfection was vastness.

It is difficult to count the number of magical arts that can be used based on the reigning Demon Emperor.

However, there are only a handful of magic arts that can be used based on the Old Magic Ball.

Even so, it was created thanks to Xiliang’s experience and enlightenment, but it is difficult to learn effective maternal martial arts with only Guyumagong alone.

In other words, it cannot compete with Reign Demon Emperor in terms of accessibility.

A question arose here.

“Master. “I’ve been curious about this for a long time…”

“Tell me.”

“Why did you pass on the reigning Demon Emperor Qi to Jin Guanyong?”

Lee Cheon-sang answered simply.

“It’s because I didn’t want to accept students other than him.”

“aha?”

“You probably already heard from Gogu, right? “Gogu was the first disciple.”

“…Oh yes.”

“This guy was a spy sent by the Uicheon Alliance. Although he couldn’t compare to you or the fifth youngest, he was also talented.

“At that level, I thought he could reach the level of a Heavenly Demon in his later years, even if he wasn’t as good as me.”

Xu Liang looked at him in disbelief. This is because Lee Cheon-sang’s smile showed bitterness.

“I didn’t have any affection for my disciple. That’s not the type of personality either. But that guy was different.

Surprisingly, my heart was shaken like never before by the first disciple I received.”

“….”

“I liked him. “I liked his distribution and eyes more than his talent.”

“I see.”

“That’s why I didn’t kill him. “I used the illusion of Panmajeong here to create a body and showed it to some of the leaders.”

“And you sent me to the penal court?”

“Yes. His martial arts skills were outstanding, but his talent in fighting techniques and machinery was such that it could be said that he was the best in the world.

“He is the one who supplemented the underground prison and maze of the Penal Temple, the layout of the Demon God’s Palace, and the formation of Panmajeong.”

There was surprise on Seo-ryang’s face.

“That’s amazing.”

“But he doesn’t recognize his greatest talent. So I became obsessed with martial arts.”

At that moment, Seoryang remembered Gogu’s words.

– But I also have a favor to ask. For the next one year, please kiss me whenever I want.

Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.

“After that incident, I no longer wanted to take on disciples. However, it was impossible not to establish a successor.

So, I passed on the reigning Demon Emperor to my eldest son. It was given to me so that I could grow up on my own. “I no longer wanted to be involved in succession matters.”

“You were irresponsible.”

“know. But I have no regrets.”

“…Well, that’s enough.”

Actually, if Jin Gwan-yong had grown up properly, it would have been difficult for Xi Liang to deal with him.

“But from now on it’s different.”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes sparkled.

Even though we have reached a high enough level, it is not easy to face Lee Cheon-sang, who is determined and beaming with light. Seo-ryang’s body suddenly stiffened.

“Gogu was something that should not be cooked. “I mastered the first son, but lost the battle for succession.”

“….”

“I don’t want to experience failure three times in teaching the school’s best magic techniques.”

“For me, Gu Yuma-gong is enough.”

“Not full yet.”

“Why is that so?”

“Because you are the head of this school.”

“Ah….”

“The reigning Demon Emperor is proof that you are my one successor and legitimacy itself. “In order to lead the Protestant Church in the future, we must achieve great success.”

Xiliang cleared his throat.

“I don’t know if I can handle it. “It might cause a conflict with Lord Gu Yuma.”

“Don’t be harsh. “I’m not the person to throw meat to someone who can’t even digest it.”

“Ahem.”

Lee Cheon-sang watched Seo-ryang for a moment.

“But because of Guyumagong, who has established himself sufficiently, quite a bit of hardship is expected.”

“Yes.”

Lee Cheon-sang stood up.

“You won’t need four swords anymore.”

Xu Liang stuck out his tongue.

“How did you know that? Still…”

“Take it out.”

“yep.”

Seoliang took out Yongrindo and Chilyado Yoo Seongsangdo.

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes flashed.

Kaaaaaaaa!

The handles of all four knives were shattered. Seo-ryang opened his mouth.

“Even the masters of our school cannot easily handle the three swords except the Chilya Blade. “It will take a long time, so I will melt it myself.”

“Do you melt it?”

Lee Cheon-sang stretched out his hand.

Ugh.

Four swords, with only the blades remaining, rose into the air.

Flash!

Black flames shot out from Lee Cheon-sang’s hands.

Seo-ryang retreated out of the ten chapters without realizing it. This is because the fire that erupted for a moment was so intense that I could not bear it.

“It is a technique called the reigning Demon Emperor’s Socheon-geolhwa (???fire).”

Bubbly!

The four swords floating in the air gradually melted and soon began to boil.

Molten iron boils in the air. It was a mysterious sight that could not be seen anywhere else.

Lee Cheon-sang, who had his right hand fixed, raised his left hand. Then, he brought his index and middle fingers together and drew a line in the air.

Grumble!

The pieces of molten metal that were cut off evaporated. Then, the remaining molten metal gradually took the shape of a huge blade.

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes shone.

Cheeeeeeeee!

As soon as it touched the cold air, a huge amount of smoke rose from the blade.

Lee Cheon-sang said while looking at the red-hot blade.

“There won’t be any need for elaborate work.”

“No matter what, it’s better to be faithful to its original purpose.”

Although he said it calmly, Seo-ryang was shocked.

It was truly an incredibly powerful force. If you look at the method called Socheongeolhwa, it seems to be based on Sangma Evolution, but its temperature and power cannot even be compared.

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes sparkled.

Kaaaaang!

A huge blade stuck into the ground.

It had an incredibly smooth shape that made it hard to believe it had been refined through magic.

The blade, which draws a fine and gentle curve, was dyed a purple-black color and looked extraordinary in itself even without any special work.

“I put the reigning demon emperor flag on the sword and fixed it. Whenever you feel blocked, expand your energy sense and constantly check your energy. “It will be helpful in some way.”

“….”

“Take care of the sword holder and sword blade.”

“…thank you.”

“Whoa.”

Lee Cheon-sang sighed softly. This incredible task seemed to have been somewhat difficult even for him. It was surprising how uncharacteristically tired he was.

“Please take a break….”

“From now on, I will teach you the reigning Demon Emperor.”

It seemed like it was planned. Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes burned again.

“Even considering your level, it will take three days and three nights. Concentrate properly.”
