Episode 158 Return, and (4)the liquor bottle that poured the glass was slightly shaken.
âhmm.â
Even though I always pour so much that it almost overflows, I spilled a little bit of alcohol today, which I had never spilled before.
Lee Cheon-sang put down the bottle and looked down at his hands.
There was an icon engraved on his palm. A wound that isnât that deep, but isnât shallow either. It was the scar that appeared when he blocked Seo-ryangâs blow.
âAn apostle who wants to become a magic sword.â
In the past, when I was giving lessons to my third child.
At that time, the guy cut off his own sleeve. Even though he didnât mean it, it had been a long time since he had reached that point.
However, at some point, he ascended to the peak and even created an icon in his hand.
Unlike before, Lee Cheon-sang was sincere. Although I didnât use all my might, Seo-ryangâs actions were quite threatening, so I had no choice but to raise my hand to block them.
âItâs quite a feat to pierce the reigning Demon Emperorâs energy.â
The reigning demon emperor is without a doubt the best demonic attack in the world.
It is difficult to attach the word absolute to anything in this world, but the reigning Demon Emperor is different.
This magic technique, which has been passed down since the first Heavenly Demon, was finally completed in the Seven Great Heavenly Demons.
The Old Yu Demon Gong created by Xi Liang was also great, but during the reign of Demon Emperor, it had a history that the Old Yu Demon Gong did not have.
The level may be similar, but with the vastness of martial arts, even Old Yu Demon Lord is no match for Reign Demon Emperor Qi.
However, the level varies depending on the capabilities of the person who has learned martial arts at a similar level.
Seo-ryang deserved praise just for breaking through the reigning Demon Emperor, which was realized through Lee Cheon-sangâs enlightenment.
âWhat a strange guy.â
There was deep interest on Lee Cheon-sangâs face as he poured over the glass.
âMy skill level is 10, but I always show the strength of 12.â
Sometimes there are people like that. Those who show results beyond their capabilities.
It was an ability that could not even be compared to simple martial arts. This is because all factors such as judgment, willpower, creativity, execution, etc. must be at their peak.
âBut itâs still not enough.â
I didnât know that Lee Cheon-sang himself would think like this about Seo-ryang. Because most people canât even follow Seo-ryangâs feet.
However, the reason I felt this way was because I had excellent writing skills. It was similar to when you find an unfortunate part of a famous painting and it looks particularly big.
âHeâs good enough to be a leader, but heâs not qualified to be the leader of an organization.â
Lee Cheon-sang filled his glass. The hands wearing the icon were still shaking slightly.
âCan you expand it?â
A successor has not been decided yet. Recently, my third child has shown particularly explosive growth, but the other children will not be easy.
Still, Iâm looking forward to it. It was because it had been a long time since there had been a storm that shook this heart that had become like a desolate desert.
âIf you cannot broaden your horizons, you will not be able to become the leader even if you win the succession battle.â
If he were a guy who was strong but full of empty space, he would have been chosen as the next leader.
Anyway, it turned out to be fun. I was very excited to see what Seoryang would do when he returned to school.
At that time, the door to Daejeon rang.
âMaster. âItâs a total military force.â
âPlease eat.â
The door opened and Hu Yao-seong came in.
âThe general military meets the religious leader.â
âWhatâs going on?â
âI have something to ask you.â
Ho Yo-seong held up a document with a puzzled look
. âI lost permission to enter the Magic Hall. âDid it come from the religious leader?â
âThatâs right.â
âoh? It looks like someone else made a contribution. âAre you the Lord of the Protectorate?â
âYou know everything, right?â
Ho Yaoseong, who was making a fuss, smiled.
âAs expected, you are the Three Confucius.â
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
âWell, the Three Dukes did a great job this time.â
It was Ho Yo-seong who was desperately opposed to clashing with the swordsman.
However, Seo-ryang not only survived the clash with them, but also wiped out the group of sword archers, so he couldnât help but feel good.
âI like it.â
âActually, yes.â SÑarch* The NôᴠelFirÑ.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âArenât you the saboteur who ruined the plan you planned?â
âAn operation like that can be recreated as many times as you like. âItâs better than going to war.â
Even in front of the religious leader, he playfully expresses opposing opinions.
Ho Yo-seong knew very well that this appearance would give Lee Cheon-sang more trust.
Also, even if he doesnât show this side of himself, Lee Cheon-sangâs faith in him will not be shaken.
âBut why are you sending me to Magyeonggak? As far as I know, the three gongja were quite capable of mastering the magic arts.â
âThey complained about something being lacking. So I sent it to you.â
They sent me away because I was being rude. Ho Yo-seong inwardly clicked his tongue at words that did not suit Lee Cheon-sang at all.
âSam Gongja, you are such an amazing person.â
Lee Cheon-sang, who used to be extremely quiet, is quite conversational these days. Hu Yaosheng knew that it had been since Xiliang woke up from the mouth.
âEven the Three Dukes lacked something.â
âEveryone has something they lack.â
âTo the leader too?â
Lee Cheon-sang asked a question instead of answering.
âHow is âthat kidâ doing?â
âIf you are talking about Lady Goku, she is currently returning from finishing the Iron Horse Room project.â
Ho Yaoseong narrowed his eyes.
âIf you are referring to the customer, he is currently doing well at the hospital.â
âThe climate wouldnât be right.â
âThatâs the only problem. âYou will adapt on your own.â
âI heard heâs quite an accident-prone kid.â
âI had a conversation with him once, but he didnât seem like that type of person.â
âis it.â
âThatâs right. Butâ¦â
Hu Yao-shengâs eyes sparkled. It was the look you give when you discover something interesting.
âThere was something there that wasnât visible on the outside.â
* * *
âWowâ¦.â
Seoryang stuck out his tongue.
âItâs huge.â
Magyeonggak was the largest non-class storage facility hidden deep within the inner circle of the Heavenly Demon Church.
It was also different from Bigo, where high-level magical skills such as the Ten Great Magical Arts were provided. In this place, not only were the magic and sacred texts stored, but also countless scriptures that were difficult to count.
It could be seen that it was almost similar to Janggyeonggak of Shaolin Temple.
The difference is that, unlike Janggyeongak, which has far more Buddhist sutras than non-grade scriptures, there are more magical techniques than Buddhist scriptures.
âBut thisâ¦â
Seoliang tilted his head.
âThatâs strange? âThey look so similar, donât they?â
He had actually entered Janggyeonggak. Of course, I couldnât visit deep inside the cabinet, and I never saw Shaolinâs representative martial artists.
But I remembered what its structure was like.
âItâs similar to the Shaolin Temple.â
It is much larger than Janggyeonggak and has many bookshelves. However, the structure itself was almost identical.
âItâs fascinating.â
Now that I think about it, isnât the name Magyeonggak similar to Janggyeonggak?
Seo-ryangâs eyes sparkled.
âIs there some relationship between the two groups?â
Before the Uicheon Alliance and the Iron Blood Fortress came into power, the greatest enemy of the Heavenly Demon Church was the Shaolin Temple.
As expected, the Shaolin Temple worships Buddha, and the Heavenly Demon Religion worships Pasun.
Wasnât Mara Pasun the demon god of the world of desire who was said to have hindered Buddhaâs enlightenment until the very end?
In terms of group strength, Shaolin Temple cannot compare to the Heavenly Demon Church. However, the Shaolin Temple was always at the forefront of preventing the Heavenly Demon Churchâs invasion of the central plains.
ââ¦I guess it doesnât matter.â
Now is not the time to think about such things.
âI wish I could at least find a good walking technique.â
Since I had discarded Chukji Shinbo and Gyeongshinjutsu, I had to find new things that were suitable for Old Yuma Gong.
In fact, if you have reached the ultimate level, you do not need to practice footwork and spiritual techniques. Moving quickly using explosive magical energy is something that any serious expert can do.
However, for physical strength, energy efficiency, and new heights, walking techniques and new techniques were needed.
âIn addition, it would be nice if I could get some useful white striking techniques.â
Xi Liang took a step forward.
His eyes as he looked around were particularly sharp.
âThe time you can stay at Magyeonggak is exactly one day, twelve oâclock.â
The formation surrounding Magyeonggak changes on its own every twelve quarters. If twelve oâclock passes, the exit changes and you cannot leave until it is opened from the outside.
You may think that you just have to wait a few days, but this is a secret place where no one can enter without permission from the religious leader.
Unless the leader himself comes forward, he is stuck helplessly without being able to drink a sip of water.
âBefore that, I need to get something useful.â
He walked to the deepest part of Magyeonggak, where there was a sign that said Hundred and Eight Demon Schools.
The Hundred and Eight Magistrates were martial artists representing the Heavenly Demon Church. Shinkyoâs Ten Great Demonic Crafts also belonged to the Hundred and Eight Magic Schools.
In reality, the Teenage Demonic Art is a martial art that ranks among the highest in the Hundred and Eight Magical Arts. In addition, powerful martial artists from his maternal family also belonged to the Hundred and Eight Demon Schools.
Seolyangâs eyes were very serious as he looked around the bookshelf.
âHigh-level martial arts skills are not necessarily good.â
The point is that you have to find something that suits your body and magic skills.
He took out a booklet.
âThis is martial arts.â
The booklet had five characters written on it: Iron Demon Demon Fist (éµéæªéæ³).
âHmm, are you okay?â
I thought it was a martial arts technique full of destructive power, but it was a very delicate and gentle fighting technique. The carefully planned routine was similar to the fast and lively style of Jecheongi.
âItâs okay, but it doesnât suit me.â
Maybe it was before I got to the top, but I donât need it now. Now, he needed strong and heavy martial arts rather than quick and delicate martial arts.
He took out the next secret.
âHyeokgangsu(è¡ç½¡æ)? âIs this famous?â
About fifty or sixty years ago?
There was an incident where a major sect called Heuksageommun (é»éªåé), a renowned sect, suffered a devastating blow from a madman.
People in the world called the madman a blood-and-hand demon.
The Blood Beast God Demonâs martial arts technique was Hyeol Gangsu.
Unlike the Teenage Magic Attacks, it is not an orthodox magic attack from Shinism, but it is so powerful that it seems that it was stolen and saved somehow.
Seo-ryang frowned as he glanced over the list.
âWhat kind of crazy martial arts is this?â
Even at first glance, the destructive power is enormous. In terms of simple destructive power, it was one level higher than the top level magicians of the Protestant Church.
But the texture was so messed up. In addition, in order to increase the destructive power, it touches the upper part of the sword, which causes the person who has mastered it to be driven into madness.
What else can you do if you are strong? I lose my reason.
However, the foundation was not strong enough to organize the structure and utilize its power. In a way, it can be seen as magic in the true sense of the word, cutting down oneâs life to gain power.
âThe destructive power is unparalleled. Iâm jealous, butâ¦â
Seo-ryang scratched his head.
âNo matter how good I am at fixing things, this wonât work.â
Still, since I donât know, should I just memorize itâ¦?
Seoliang put Hyeolgangsuâs phrases into his head. I may not be able to use it right away, or I may never have to use it in my lifetime, but my curiosity was piqued.
Fortunately, after reaching the top level, the top battle became more active than before. Although Dunjae does not become a genius due to the development of sangangjeon, his memory and interpretation skills do improve.
The phrases were not extremely long or deep, so I was able to memorize all of Hyeolgangsuâs phrases in half a hour.
âIt would be nice if this could help later. âI donât know if I missed half the time for no reason.â
He is looking at the Hundred and Eight Mages once again.
One examination has passed, two examinations have passed. Before he knew it, he had read nearly half of the Hundred and Eight Magic Books.
Seo-ryang grumbled softly.
âDamn it. As expected, itâs not here⦠huh?â
Seoryangâs eyes sparkled like starlight as he took out a reddish volume.
âOh? Look at this?â
