Episode 353 Moving Giants (3)
“Huh?”
Xiliang narrowed his eyes.
“This is…”
It was a familiar place.
It was on a cliff higher than Mount Tai under a sky full of dark clouds. When I looked around, there were countless mountain ridges that continued endlessly.
‘It’s quiet.’
Due to the nature of the terrain, the wind had to blow strongly. However, the hem of Seoryang’s clothes, standing at the edge of the cliff, was shaking slightly. It was a gentle breeze that made no sound.
Xiliang looked up at the sky again.
“It seems to have gotten darker.”
Even though it seemed much darker than before, there was still light. The sunlight gently seeping through the slow-moving dark clouds looked like the moon.
“It’s a fun place.”
Xu Liang lowered his head.
“Isn’t that right?”
Wherever he looked, there was Lee Cheon-sang standing with his back to him.
Seo-ryang’s eyes were dazzled for a moment.
I feel this once again, but Lee Cheon-sang was truly a monster. Whether this place was real or not, Lee Cheon-sang’s indescribable prayer was so great that it gave goosebumps all over his body.
Xu Liang was sure. Even if ten or twenty years pass, he will not even be able to reach the feet of this heavenly world.
It did not mean martial arts. Lee Cheon-sang was already a person who went beyond martial arts and felt the providence of this world with his five senses. Maybe ten years from now, we might be able to compete closely against Lee Cheon-sang. But he will never reach his supreme enlightenment.
“The sky is dark.”
“That’s right.”
“The guy who has become a complete demon has become even closer to being a demon.”
“Doesn’t that sound contradictory?”
“An absurd contradiction is happening to you. But that’s who you are.”
“I must confess that I have never properly understood the religious leader’s nonsense words. What is a devil and what is a contradiction?…”
“Did you throw it away?”
“yes?”
“I asked if you threw it away.”
“What?”
“You didn’t throw it away.”
Xu Liang shook his head.
“We are clearly aware that this place is not real. “Whether it is a dream, the other side of the unconscious, or the cult leader’s incredible magic, in the end, the cult leader who appears here is nothing more than an image of my mind.”
“….”
“Complicated words are a specification. I don’t want to worry anymore. If you’re going to have a conversation, please do so comfortably.”
Li Cheon-sang asked again, as if he understood what Seo-ryang said.
“Have you abandoned your benefactor to King Biyo?”
Li Cheon-sang did not say anything complicated, but Seo-ryang’s face became complicated.
“If I could have thrown it away, I would have thrown it away a long time ago. In this case, it would be fair to say that it has been ‘resolved.’”
“It doesn’t look like it’s been resolved.”
“Do you see it that way?”
“Do you really hate King Biyo?”
When Seo-ryang heard those words, he felt a strange pang.
But there was no hesitation in his answer.
“of course.”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded. Seeing that, Seo-ryang felt relieved without realizing it.
“Did you want confirmation of your past history of hatred?”
“Is there really any reason to do that? “It’s a natural fact.”
“But why do you have a face that is more gloomy than the sky?”
A look of bitterness appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.
“Do you see it that way?”
Lee Cheon-sang, who had been quietly watching Seo-ryang, turned his body.
“Let’s walk for a while.”
Two people walked side by side.
Seo-ryang glanced at Li Cheon-sang.
“I’m also noticing this again, but you’re really tall.”
“You hated King Biyo.”
“You’re suddenly saying something different.”
“But your hatred lies on the border between truth and illusion.”
“I said I don’t like to sound difficult.”
“Your hatred toward King Biyo is real. She is the one who ended your life. At the end you saw, there was no Damsayeong, no forest, no masters of the Uicheon Alliance. “There was only King Biyo.”
“….”
“Regardless of the reason, this is the person who ended your life. “You can’t help but hate it.”
I felt strange.
In reality, Lee Cheon-sang does not know that Seo-ryang’s previous life was Cheon Ha-jin. However, in this fantasy world, Lee Cheon-sang knew his past. Heo Sang, with Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes and prayers, was speaking in the same voice as Lee Cheon-sang.
For some reason, I felt at ease.
“But your hatred was not as great as you thought. “I hated him so much that I wanted to kill him, but not to the point where I couldn’t be bothered to kill him.”
Xu Liang’s eyes wavered.
“The reigning Demon Emperor is strong.”
“…That’s right.”
“Sasinjihak (????) is a martial art that has achieved the highest level of skill and reached the law. “He has become the best martial artist in the world with the invincible Sima Yaedo’s miscellaneous techniques, so even with Shaolin’s Buddhist Qigong, it is difficult to dispel his fraud.”
“It was amazing.”
“What about the reigning Demon Emperor?”
“well.”
“Gunlim Demon Hwanggi is the study of heavenly magic that goes beyond techniques and laws and reaches the path. Although your Guyu Demonic Art is a world class that can be compared to the reigning Demon Emperor, it is only meaningful when discussing the strength and weakness of martial arts. “If we were to discuss the depth of enlightenment, Lord Gu Yu Demon would not even dare to reach the feet of the reigning Demon Emperor.”
Seo-ryang calmly listened to Lee Cheon-sang’s words.
Why does he say this? Why is my heart telling me to say these things?
“You knew. “Your victory was confirmed the moment you chose the reigning Demon Emperor in the fight against King Biyo.”
“Is that so?”
“If the reigning Demon Emperor had been used properly, King Biyo would have collapsed before he could surpass thirty sums. All the evil energy I had cultivated so far would have been taken away from you and turned into a handful of dust. Even if King Biyo’s morale has reached the point of insanity, evil, which is only a branch of the devil, cannot escape the law of cause and effect.”
“I don’t know about that.”
“You could have done it.”
“….”
“But you didn’t do it. “I already knew you were the king of flesh, and I knew she wouldn’t run away, so I didn’t take her down all at once.”
Xu Liang stopped walking.
Lee Cheon-sang also stopped walking.
“Did you want to create a hatred that you could understand?”
“….”
“Did you want to raise your anger somehow because there was no reason for your hatred?”
“Please stop.”
Xiliang sighed.
“King Biyo was not an easy opponent.”
“know.”
“Whether it’s Guyu Demon Lord, Lord Demon Emperor Qi, alcohol, law, or Tao, the result has been achieved. But why do you rebuke me?”
I know that the image of Lee Cheon that I see right now is not the image of Lee Heaven. Nevertheless, Seo-ryang treated him like the real Li Cheon-sang.
From Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth, words flowed that shook Seo-ryang’s heart to its core.
“I knew you.”
“…?”
“I have lived a life where reasons are not important, so the world tells me why.”
“What do you mean?”
“I know why you hate Damsayoung so much.”
For a moment, Seo-ryang’s eyes wavered.
He tried to speak calmly.
“Of course you know. The current leader is an illusion created by my mind. “Everything you’ve said about King Biyo so far is what I’m saying to myself.”
“Wrong.”
“You mean it’s wrong?”
“At the time when I invited you to Panma Pavilion after my closing ceremony, I was suspicious of the ‘change’ of the Three Confucius, Xiliang.”
“…!”
Seo-ryang looked at Li Cheon-sang with wide eyes.
Lee Cheon-sang was looking down at himself with a serious expression. It was an expression he did not usually show. I’ve never seen an expression like this before.
Because it was an expression I had never seen or imagined, the current image of Lee Heaven was not the image of Lee Heaven created by my mind.
“I wasn’t curious. Because the reason doesn’t matter. What you did in the past, what life you lived, what matters is the present. I am a person who acknowledges the present that strives to be right rather than the past that went astray. So, I did not look into the past to see the changes in Seo-ryang. “Because that’s not what’s important.”
Seo-ryang swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
“But like I said, the reason is not important to me, so the providence of the world always tells me the reason.”
Wooooow.
A faint black mist rose from Lee Cheon-sang’s body.
It was a reigning Demon Emperor playing in an ultimate realm that was completely different from that of Xiliang.
“From the moment you opened the gate of desire, from the moment my energy connected with your energy, I was able to know everything about you.”
“If you do it…”
“That’s right.”
Lee Cheon-sang raised his hand.
Before I knew it, snow was falling one by one from the sky that was full of dark clouds. The snowflake that fell melted and disappeared as soon as it touched Lee Cheon-sang’s body.
“This is your world, but at the same time it is not entirely your world.”
It was shocking.
Xu Liang was truly embarrassed. So does this mean that Lee Cheon-sang accepted himself even after knowing about his past?
“Of course.”
Lee Cheon-sang didn’t know how to read the unspoken concerns, but answered something he didn’t even ask.
“You are not the Xu Liang of the past. However, my past experiences only brought me disappointment. Seoliang is different now. Seoliang, who defeated all competitors and became the small master of Shingyo, is a talent that I like very much.”
“But…”
“The reason is not important. Moreover, I already broke off my relationship with my third child in the past.”
Xu Liang looked at Li Cheonsang with trembling eyes.
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes suddenly became stern.
“The only one I know is you. “No one like you will exist, and even if it does, I will not acknowledge it.”
“Master.”
“But how can you show such an ugly side of yourself?”
“Yes yes?”
“The devil is desire. It resides in a much more fundamental and higher-dimensional realm than good and evil. “You have already realized the devil and you know yourself well, so why are you now trying to create reasons for no reason and bring out feelings that do not arise?”
“…!!”
“Are you afraid of the world? “Was it so difficult to take action even though the hatred was not worth killing?”
“I…”
“Don’t hesitate!”
It was Lee Cheon-sang’s yelling that I had never heard before.
“If you want to kill, kill, if you want to destroy, destroy! If you want to commit a crime, commit it. If you want to save, save! How can someone who has already awakened to the peak of demonic power imitate a mountain monk? “You are a small member of the Heavenly Demon Church, not a charlatan who works for all the people of the world!”
“omg…!”
“Run without hesitation! The reason doesn’t matter! If you want to do that, you do it even if there is no reason!”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes were burning like the sun.
“That is the magic path.”
“omg!”
Xu Liang suddenly stood up.
“Huh?! “Master Xiao!”
“Are you okay?!”
Seoliang coughed once. There was blood in his cough, but it didn’t seem that painful.
Ugh. Ugh.
Danjeon, where the blue and red magical energy was unstable, gradually regained stability.
“Where… is this?”
“It’s a forest in northern Shandong! Hebei is just a stone’s throw away!”
“is it.”
Although it wasn’t long before he woke up, he was able to understand why he had decided to go to Hebei.
Ma Dong-pil hurriedly asked.
“Master Xiao, are you feeling well?”
“Okay.”
Xi Liang slowly stood up.
Ma Dong-pil looked up at Seo-ryang with passionate eyes. After five days, Lord Sogyo woke up.
That wasn’t all. Yeo Sang-rin, Aeng-hwa, and all the demons of Jinmadae were looking at him.
Xu Liang closed his eyes.
Why? I felt at ease. My body wasn’t normal and the situation wasn’t that good, but strangely, I didn’t feel anxious.
“What about Gorumazon?”
“ah! Mazon….”
“No, it didn’t work out. “I think I know what he’s doing and where he is.”
Xiliang opened his eyes.
His eyes were completely different from before he closed them, still confusing but clear at the same time.
“If you want to kill, kill… It’s such an irresponsible, yet refreshing way to go.”
“yes?”
“It’s a very attractive path for a dog-baekjeong like me to take without a reason. Isn’t that right, Dongpil?”
Ma Dong-pil tilted his head. What are you saying all of a sudden?
Xiliang looked up at the sky.
Dawn was breaking.
“For some reason, I miss the leader….”
