Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 858

What is a Murim lord? (8)

“…!”

Astonishment appeared on Cheon Hyo-rak’s face.

“What is this energy?”

Hwahyang was equally surprised. Her face was completely frozen, and before she knew it, her feet were heading towards the door.

“Hyang-ah.”

“….”

“Hwahyang!”

Hwa-hyang flinched in surprise and looked back at Cheon Hyo-rak.

“Master?”

“Don’t go out.”

“but…!”

“I don’t know what’s going on, but we came as honored guests. “You shouldn’t act rashly.”

“I’m sorry.”

“no.”

Cheon Hyo-rak understood Hwa-hyang’s actions of opening the door and trying to leave without realizing it.

‘Even I almost lost my mind.’

My fingertips are shaking.

‘What on earth is this energy?!’

It was an energy that was difficult to define. It felt as if a pleasant wind filled with golden light was passing through my entire body.

An incredibly gentle yet strong-willed wind that cannot be resisted.

And the strange power carried by the wind was so great that it shook even the minds of sane people.

‘With such a strong will… most warriors probably didn’t even feel it.’

Unless you are someone who has overcome the wall of martial sect and awakened Sangdanjeon or someone who has naturally developed Sangdanjeon, you will not be able to feel the true nature of the power mixed with this wind.

“It looks like someone… a huge expert has arrived.”

Hwahyang’s voice was still trembling as she spoke.

“Yeah, it looks like that.”

Cheon Hyorak’s eyes deepened.

“With martial arts skills of this level… it is natural that it goes far beyond the great punishment.”

I don’t know if I have reached Master. In the first place, he had never seen Master’s true skills. The teacher’s level was so deep that he could not even guess where the limit was.

But one thing was certain.

“I don’t know about the Sword Emperor, but I am certain that he is at least stronger than Yeonhojeong Sobuju.”

“…!”

“It looks like the expert from Seongcheon has arrived. “But it’s hard to guess who this temperament is.”

It is amazing to be able to radiate such a subtle yet powerful energy wave mixed with strong will. Usually, when a wave arises in the hearts of masters, the energy that becomes one with their will reacts and emits these energy waves.

‘But this smell of the wind…’

It is not the energy wave of someone who is surprised or greatly disturbed.

The depth of energy is frightening, but the atmosphere is very comfortable. Yet, for some reason, it was a friendly yet majestic energy that I wanted to meet at least once.

“I don’t know who it is.”

Hyorak Cheon let out a sigh.

“It is the best Murim League in the world… When you see the incredible experts gathering one after another, you can see that their reputation as representing the central region was not in vain.”

* * *

There was a lot of commotion, but those who confirmed the identity of the person who gave off that strange force returned to their residence. I was very surprised and amazed.

Of course, there were people who wanted to meet Yeon Ho-jeong, but Mak Won blocked them.

“When a person who has reached the peak of martial arts gains such great enlightenment, he needs more time than anyone else to sort it out. I don’t think now is the time to mess with it, so let’s go back. “If you make a mistake, you may end up regressing.”

A realization that cannot be made completely one’s own can be detrimental to a martial arts expert. This is because the power that transcends the human category invades the upper level, and if it is not fully embodied, the new energy may become unstable and the memory of recognizing the previous enlightenment may fade.

The good news was that Namgung Seung, the Geomje, was there with them. At least it wasn’t a vessel that could harm Yeon Ho-jeong, so they could go back with peace of mind.

Gurgling.

The birdsong was beautiful.

Namgung Seung’s eyes were greatly shaken as he saw Yeon Ho-jeong coming out of the separate room.

‘It has changed.’

The energy has changed.

The traces of the four energies, each with its own distinct characteristics, had disappeared as if they had been washed away. If it cannot be felt even with the Sword Emperor’s sharp senses, it is safe to say that it has literally disappeared.

And what filled the place where the wonder of contemplation was….

‘I don’t know.’

The moment a ray of enlightenment exploded, the entire star room was dyed in golden light.

This was the first time Namgung Seung had experienced such a majestic yet comfortable feeling. It was certainly powerful enough to be admired, but strangely, it did not have an energy that made people feel intimidated or nervous.

An energy reminiscent of a friendly yet strict father.

At the same time, it is similar to a kind mother who gives anything.

‘One thing is certain.’

Yeonhojeong became stronger.

That terrifying realization did not lower his strength, but increased it.

And that too by a large margin.

Namgung Seung spoke in a calm voice.

“Congratulations on your great achievement.”

Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.

“Thanks to senior Noh. “I received the same grace as Hahae.”

Namgung Seung’s expression became strange.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s posture and voice as he bowed his head in greeting were quite different from when we drank tea together.

Of course, Yeon Ho-jeong was honest even then. However, when I thought about whether that was his true appearance, it was not the case.

‘I think I’m wearing the right clothes.’

I became calmer and stronger.

It seemed to naturally tell me that this was my true self.

Namgungseung asked.

“Shouldn’t we look back on enlightenment?”

“That’s right. But I think one day will be enough.”

“I don’t know what enlightenment I gained, but it seems like I have gained a very soft and comfortable martial arts.”

“It’s not like that.”

“hmm?”

“My martial arts skills before and my martial arts skills now are the same. “The only difference is whether it went to the source or not.”

“is it.”

“It’s an epiphany, but it’s not new. It just got deeper.”

Namgung Seung smiled.

“How was it? “The source is.”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the sky.

Scattered clouds in the blue sky were clearly visible.

“I didn’t know it was this warm.”

Excited.

My heart was pulsing strongly.

At the place where the Gwangmyeong Shrine was originally located, a dragon with a huge golden body curled up with its eyes closed.

Both the Gwangmyeong Shrine and the Four Gods have disappeared. But those energies did not completely disappear.

became one. So it disappeared, but at the same time it was eternal.

Yeon Ho-jeong put his hand on his chest.

Something huge that had its eyes closed with its coils open slightly opened its eyes.

Exciting!

It was strange.

Like the Shinigami, this golden divine beast seemed to be living as a parasite on its own body. It is an energy with spirituality.

However, unlike the Shinigami, they have a much more specific and clear will. The eyes of the most divine beast in the world, looking into itself as if a true spirit being was inside its body, were benevolent and strict, like those of a god.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who took her hand away from her chest, relaxed. Then Shinsoo closed his eyes again.

‘at las.’

My heart started pounding again.

It wasn’t because of Shinsu. The fact that I had finally reached this point and acquired this martial art gave me tremendous pride and pleasure.

‘Hwangnyongsinwanggong (黃龍神王功).’

Sasinmu’s dramatic meaning.

According to the teacher’s words, the person who awakens the yellow dragon will be able to surpass the best in the world and the best of all time.

Now, Yeon Ho-jeong realized those words. At the same time, I was able to clearly recognize the difference between myself and my teacher.

‘Master and I are different.’

The teacher was someone who had already achieved all the enlightenment possible in the realm of martial arts before awakening the yellow dragon.

Such a person awakened the Yellow Dragon and further achieved deeper and higher enlightenment through consistent training. In other words, even before awakening the yellow dragon, Master was already a powerful person who discussed the best in the past and present.

He was different.

Even though he was unable to awaken the Yellow Dragon during his time as Emperor of Darkness, he acquired a force within three fingers of the world. Although he was a martial artist who was strictly focused on combat, he was not obsessed with useless enlightenment.

‘That’s why I couldn’t climb. That’s why I didn’t reach it.’

The yellow dragon is the source and enlightenment.

With the martial arts of the Emperor of Darkness, who pursued stronger strength, faster speed, and a stronger body, he could experience an increase in his combat ability, but he could not reach the level of the Yellow Dragon.

There are many ways to become stronger. But there was no yellow dragon on the way.

Yeonhojeong was different now.

He was a person who had learned the fundamental mental techniques that would support Sasinmu in a different way.

If he had learned Hongcheongi and fully absorbed the enlightenment of the Emperor of Darkness, he would have been able to obtain the strength of the past within two or three years of practicing martial arts again. Even if your body doesn’t look the same as before, the realization engraved in your soul doesn’t go anywhere.

In other words, the formation of the Yeonga Shrine, which leads to the Gwangmyeong Shrine, was completely based on the goal of Hwangryong.

Because he had such a mysterious energy, he was able to support even the Four Gods, but since the real target of the formation of the new group was Hwangryong, it was inevitable that his power would grow slowly over the years.

Also, because of this, he was able to enter Hwangryong even though he was at a lower level than in the past.

However, if it weren’t for Namgung Seung’s angry words, we don’t know when Hwangryong would have woken up.

‘It’s strange.’

Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath.

‘I feel strange.’

It was thrilling and happy, but also strangely calm.

‘I thought you would struggle with joy as if you had the world in your hands.’

It wasn’t so.

It’s true that I was happy, but I felt strangely comfortable. Even though I still knew very little about the yellow dragon, I did not feel any strong sense of exploration or anticipation.

I just felt peaceful, like waking up feeling refreshed and drinking a cup of tea while watching the dawn rise.

“If you’re not that sensitive, I don’t think there’s any need to rent Namgung’s private room.”

“of course.”

“After staying here, I found it very comfortable. But it may not be the most comfortable place for you.”

Namgungseung nodded.

“Go to a place where you can gain enlightenment.”

“yes.”

“And when your enlightenment is over, let’s have some fun with this old man again.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“I hope that my growth in martial arts will be of great help to you as well.”

“There is no need to feel pressured. Just fighting someone as strong as you is enough for me. “I have burned 30 percent of my life’s desire to win, so I want to burn off the remaining 70 percent.”

“If you call me, I will come to you anytime with an ax in hand.”

“Thank you for just saying something.”

Namgung Seung looked at Namgung Pyo.

Namgungpyo was looking at Yeonhojeong with blank eyes. I was completely entranced by the golden energy that Yeon Ho-jeong gave off.

Namgung Seung sighed.

“If it doesn’t bother you too much, please take care of my kids later.”

I don’t know exactly what you are asking for. However, Yeon Ho-jeong seemed to know Namgung Seung’s frustrated feelings.

“Since the Dead Sea is the East Island and gave me enlightenment, I can’t help but extend that grace to others.”

“I would be grateful if you thought so.”

“However, there is no ability to change one’s personality or nature. “Please take that into consideration.”

“If I could die by being hit by a master’s sword, that would also be a great blessing for the martial arts people. “Don’t worry.”

Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.

“See you again.”

“Come visit me anytime. “I think I’ll be busy for a while.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes widened slightly.

“How do you know?”

Namgungseung said in a cheerful voice.

“I only said one thing because your eyes and spirit are focused on the world rather than martial arts.”

“You are amazing.”

“I’ll be sharpening my sword until I come back.”

“I won’t disappoint you.”

With those words, Yeon Ho-jeong left Mugokgak.

When he first entered Mugokgak, he received envious looks from the Namgung prosecutors.

But now that I am leaving Mugokgak.

The Namgung prosecutors were not even aware of the presence of Yeon Ho-jeong, who suddenly opened the front door and left.
