Episode 463Obtain darkness (3)

“Ah, have you come?”

There was no regret on Yang Chen’s face.

“That’s because the headquarters is not on the ground. “The air passed through well enough, but it must have still been quite stuffy.”

“It wasn’t comfortable.”

It was a fairly harsh voice. He seemed very upset.

Yang Chen did not erase his smile.

“Still, I heard that your subordinates took good care of you.”

It wasn’t something to say to someone who had waited a long time. In fact, the face of Jeokyeon, the gatekeeper of Yeonhwamun, a branch of Botaam, showed an unpleasant expression that could not be hidden.

Naturally, Yang Chen didn’t care at all whether she was in a bad mood or not.

“So you wanted to see this person?”

Jeokyeon said as if he was dumbfounded.

“Didn’t you say you would respond to our proposal?”

“It did.”

Yang Chen nodded.

“You certainly said that, but as you know, we have no choice but to think carefully about this matter.”

“A lot of time has passed.”

“It’s an issue that won’t be worth considering for months. “Isn’t Botha’s name too light to make a decision after just a few days of thinking?”

That meant acknowledging Bothaam. Jeokyeon’s expression relaxed a little.

“I understand your concerns, sir. But I hope you understand that we are short on time.”

Yang Chen tilted his head.

“I’m curious. “How can we be so short of time?”

Jeokyeon frowned.

“Didn’t I tell you before? The text wants to go out into the world. “Rather than subjecting candidates to trials like in the past, we plan to make it a symbol of pure force.”

“I heard that.”

“If we delay too much, other tribes may take action. The talent of this child here is at a level that overwhelms that of other tribes, but their greed is getting worse as time goes by. “I don’t know what they’ll do.”

Yang Chen’s eyes naturally turned to the woman next to Jeokyeon.

Although he was similar in age to Buseon, the power he possessed was truly amazing.

‘It’s amazing to look at.’

A perfectly captured prayer. In terms of sheer force alone, he surpasses even Jang Mun-in of the Dae-mun faction. It was so powerful that I couldn’t feel any difference from the current Yeonhojeong.

It’s hard to see a genius like this twice. Even Yang Cheon himself couldn’t reach that level at that age.

‘It would be a flaw to be overly naive due to having little experience. However, since your martial arts level is high, you will be able to sufficiently respond to any unexpected situation.’

Yang Chen opened his mouth.

“Did you say your name was Yeonsim?”

Yeonsim bowed her head.

“That’s right.”

“I feel it again, but you have really accumulated great martial arts skills. “If you think about his age, he is several years older than me.”

“That’s too much praise.”

“I want to ask you that question.”

Yang Cheon smiled playfully.

“Do you want to be the next Geomhu?”

It was an unexpected question. Jeok-yeon was more surprised by that question than Yeonsim.

Yeonsim raised her head and looked at Yang Chen.

At that moment, Yeonsim felt pain as if her eyes were burning.

‘It’s huge.’

I could feel the love. It was visible in her eyes that she had been honed in Botaam’s new technique, Bodhisattva technique.

‘I am truly filled with unimaginable desires.’

An ordinary physique, neither too big nor too small.

On the outside, he looks good and doesn’t seem like a bad person at all.

However, Yang Cheon, reflected in Yeon-sim’s eyes, was truly a bundle of pure desire. He was full of aggressive desires that a practitioner should never have, such as domination, victory, destruction, revenge, etc.

To Yeon-sim, it was a much bigger shock than Yang Cheon’s absolute martial arts.

“Why are you looking at me like that? “I guess the question was a bit confusing.”

“…no.”

Yeonsim closed her eyes.

“I definitely have a desire to become a swordsman.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

“But…”

“But?”

Yeonsim opened her eyes again and spoke in a much calmer voice.

“I don’t want to have to fight with people like my family to get the title of Lord Swordsman.”

Jeokyeon shouted.

“Love!”

“That is my honest opinion.”

“How can this guy say such weak words…!”

At that time, Yang Chen raised his hand and stopped Jeok Yeon from speaking.

He asked, looking straight at Yeon-sim.

“Is that your true heart?”

“That’s right.”

“I see. “If that’s the case.”

Yang Cheon turned his head to Jeok Yeon.

Jeokyeon’s face was full of embarrassment and resentment. Despite much persuasion, Yeonsim, the successor to Yeonhwamun, did not change her mind. That fact made the enemy angry.

“Did you, the ruler of Yeonhwamun, ask Yang Cheon to help you without even being able to properly persuade him to succeed you?”

Jeokyeon immediately opened his mouth.

“I’m just doing this because I’m confused. This child also understands our tribe’s long-cherished wish. “It was just a remark made out of embarrassment due to the position I was in, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“To your ears, does that child’s comment really sound like a slip of tongue made out of embarrassment?”

“of course.”

“Then it’s even more disappointing. “It means that you are not even able to properly look into what the heir of your tribe is thinking.”

“…!”

Jeokyeon’s eyes trembled.

Yang Chen looked at Yeon-sim again.

“I know you meant what you said. “If you had dared to tell a lie in front of me, I would not have forgiven you.”

These are the words of the king of the world. It didn’t sound like a joke.

“That’s why you, too, are disappointed.”

“…yes?”

Both Jeok-yeon and Yeon-sim were in a daze.

Yang Chen’s eyes deepened.

“If your true feelings won’t change, you shouldn’t have come here in the first place.”

“…!”

“Furthermore, do you think I, who is full of the desire to conquer the world, would evaluate a monk who lives with such a soft attitude in an era of military power and domination?”

“My lord.”

“Life is a struggle!”

The two people were startled by Yang Cheon’s loud voice.

“You don’t know if you don’t want to become a swordsman, but how can someone who clearly cherishes that dream be afraid of fighting and withdraw!”

“…?!”

“Is that sword in your hand truly a suitable tool for training? If it was a tool for training, how could one devote so much to kendo? It’s a black weapon of murder! “How can someone who holds and wields a weapon practice properly!”

It was an extremely radical statement. And Yang Cheon’s statement was also a statement that denied the hundreds of years of history of Botaam.

Jeokyeon opened his mouth.

“Today’s meeting is to hear the Vice Lord’s decision, not to discuss the history of our sect.”

“Ugly bastard!”

“What?!”

“When did you say that the hundreds of years of history of Botha were wrong and that you would come out into the world and spread the will of salvation, and now you don’t want to hear me say that the history of Botha was wrong?”

“…!!”

“If you want to practice, dig into the sutras, undergo penance, and achieve enlightenment! If you want the world, swing your sword coldly as a tool of struggle! Post-mortem? Did you really think that such a symbol would be helpful to a group of practitioners?!”

It was an extremely stern reprimand.

Because Yang Cheon’s sincerity is contained in these words, they exert even greater power.

Is that why? Jeokyeon hesitated. I couldn’t think of anything to retort to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen looked at Yeon-sim with burning eyes.

Yeonsim wanted to turn her head away when she saw those eyes. But for some reason, those burdensome eyes of desire kept attracting my attention.

“Did you say you wanted to become a swordsman? If you do this, become Geomhu! Do you want to become a monk? Then put down your sword! “He who avoids the fight with a half-hearted mind is nothing more than a fool who lost without even fighting!”

“I am…!”

“Does this world seem so easy that it embraces someone like that?”

“…!!”

The intense heat shook Yeonsim’s heart.

Yang Chen’s eyes sparkled.

“You have talent. Your talent and effort to reach such a level despite receiving Bota’s mediocre teachings are truly remarkable. However, if a person with talent ignores that talent and destroys it, that cannot be considered right.”

“….”

“If you want to waste your talent, find another path that you truly desire, a path without conflict. However, if you have a desire in your heart to become a great swordsman, accept that desire!”

After hearing Yang Cheon’s words, Yeonsim was shocked to the point that the heavens and earth were shaken.

Accept your desires?

The enlightenment pursued by Buddhist texts was to suppress desire and find the path to liberation. To put it mildly, they dismissed desire as evil and even turned it into an evil spirit called Mara.

For Yeon-sim, who had received such teachings, Yang Cheon’s remarks were absolutely unacceptable.

but but nevertheless nonetheless.

Each and every word of Yang Cheon’s remarks was deeply embedded in Yeonsim’s heart.

That statement is not correct. I know it.

That is correct. That would be the case for Yangcheon.

So what about yourself?

‘What on earth do I want?’

That is it.

The reason why Yeonsim was shocked was not because Yang Chen was right. This is because I realized that I have never looked honestly at what I want.

‘It was half-baked.’

Yes. She was half-hearted.

It’s probably not just her, but many of Botta’s inspectors as well.

‘But… wanting something itself is desire and agony. To accept something like that as a practitioner…’

Yeonsim suddenly thought.

‘Did I really want to attain the Tao?’

I don’t know. Although he pursued the Tao, he felt a compulsion to reach it, but he did not seem to want it.

‘Then what did I want…?’

For a moment, Yeonsim’s eyes wavered.

‘…After the sword?’

Many people praised his talent.

Numerous people declared that he was the closest person to the next Geomhu.

However, there were several people in Botha who were just as talented as him. Their presence was enough to stimulate love.

‘Then why did I want to become Geomhu?’

What on earth is postmortem? Isn’t it just a symbol of Bottas?

There is no way a practitioner would be greedy for such a symbol. But he kept it. It was not a mindset suitable for a practitioner.

Finally, I realized my love.

‘I didn’t want to become a swordsman. I wanted to prove myself to the world by becoming a sword master.’

She had that kind of heart. There was a desire to be recognized.

Yang Chen smiled.

Staring at the stairs in a daze, Love’s prayers, lost in contemplation, began to flow little by little.

‘Not bad.’

Yeonsim’s talent is amazing. When that talent blooms and you make that genius your own, it will be very suitable as a sword to strike Saeum.

‘This is just the beginning. I will find your own truth, so you will become a divine sword for me and aim at the four evil spirits.’

It was then.

“My lord.”

Baek Seo’s voice was heard outside Daejeon.

“I’m having a conversation with a customer. “If it’s not urgent, come later.” Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“That is… “The person who had an appointment with the Vice Lord has arrived.”

“promise?”

“This is Yeon Ho-jeong and his group.”

For a moment, Yang Chen smiled.

“Take it in.”
