Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 25

Dokgo Woojin glanced back.

Seo Moon-hye, who was quick to notice, immediately left the place.

‘Air membrane (氣膜)?’

An energy that slightly stimulates the skin.

Before I knew it, it seemed that Dokgo Woojin had placed a curtain around the entire room to prevent noise from leaking outside.

“White Lightning Shingong is a martial art that is different from the general Naegongsimbeop. Basically, the density of energy accumulated in the body is high, so its nature is heavy and destructive.”

“What does high density mean…?”

“I mean it literally. In general, while the so-called ascending internal energy techniques were created for the purpose of quickly and efficiently accumulating internal energy, Baekrei Shin Gong was aimed at specializing internal energy.”

“So are you saying that you can’t learn the White Lightning Demonic Technique unless you’re in the middle of nowhere? Unless you have naturally thick veins, you can’t withstand the high density of internal energy, right?”

“okay. “Let me tell you, this is not some kind of story I made up to dissuade you.”

“From what I’ve heard, it seems like a martial arts technique that is just as dangerous as a magic arts technique.”

“In some ways, it is a martial art that is much more dangerous than a magic attack.”

“Even the leader of the school said that he learned martial arts that could not be learned except through extreme pressure….”

“It is extreme strength.”

“It looks like you have overcome your constitution.”

“I overcame it, so I will be alive and well even after I get older.”

My eyebrows naturally furrowed.

It is a martial art that is impossible to enter unless you are in a desperate situation.

‘I thought there might be some hidden secret.’

Anyway, this was unexpected.

“There’s one thing you’re mistaken about. Tianleimun is not a one-man tradition sect. “It was so difficult to find a successor that none of the previous successors had more than two disciples.”

“Is Jeolmaek such a rare constitution?”

“It’s rare. “Although it is rare, it is nothing compared to Jeolmaek.”

Well, at least the astronomical delay is not short-lived.

It would not be easy to find a patient with arrhythmia, which is said to lead to the death of one’s life in just a few minutes at the earliest or in just a few minutes at the latest.

“There was a time when I wandered around the entire midfield looking for a successor. “I eventually gave up.”

Dokgo Woojin lowered his head with a bitter expression.

I don’t know much about jeolmaek.

However, I know that it is a rare constitution that few even among lawmakers know of its existence.

I felt like I had a little idea of how hard Dokgo Woojin must have worked to find a successor to continue his progress.

“There is one thing I don’t understand.”

“What do you mean?”

“You said that before. I don’t think it will matter even if the name of Cheonreimun is cut off. “Rather, I’m hoping for it to stop.”

“You also have a good memory.”

“I don’t think you said that simply because it was difficult to find a successor.”

“……Actually, there is no way to learn the White Thunder Divine Technique even if it is not a perfect match.”

“You left out the most important part.”

“I was going to talk about it now.”

“I guess so.”

“…….”

Dokgo Woojin’s eyes became harsh.

I slowly lowered my gaze.

There was a lot I wanted to say, but I decided to hold back.

What can I do?

The way of the world is for the powerless to bow their heads.

“It is receiving help from a teacher.”

“Help from a teacher?”

“It is only a theoretical story, but if you can use Baekrei Shingong perfectly according to the rules, you can use your inner power without putting a strain on your veins.”

That’s right.

If even the theory is not perfect, it should be discarded.

Because it is the nature of internal energy, it is nabal, and the flawed mind method is itself a harmful martial art that causes internal injuries or mental demons.

“What is problematic is the process of becoming proficient. “It is realistically impossible for a beginner to skillfully use the White Thunder Godkung.”

So to speak, it was a contradiction.

If you operate it perfectly according to the rules, there will be no strain on your veins?

It’s simple, but mastery ultimately comes from practice and training.

There is no result without process.

Is there a person in the world who can master the method of ascension from the beginning?

It was a matter of experience, not talent or qualifications.

“Therefore, the teacher directly intervenes in the disciple’s use of internal energy and helps him/her embody the mind law. “Until the disciple becomes sufficiently proficient in the operation method and completes a body that can withstand high-density internal energy.”

“This is not a way to ensure safety.”

Even if the teacher helps, in the end it is the practitioner himself who manages the internal energy.

It was a method that could reduce the risk, but could not eliminate it.

“If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have had any reason to wander all over the central plains in search of a cliff.”

“Has any of the previous successors actually succeeded through that method?”

“there is. They say there was a person who gave up on finding the right vein and took in orphans to teach them. “I heard there were dozens of victims in the process.”

“her… … .”

The number of men, women, and men who died in the process of laying the foundation of martial arts was in the dozens.

There was a reason why Dokgo Woo-jin left the easy path and wandered throughout the central plains in search of a cliffhanger.

“I was tempted countless times during my journey to find the perfect vein. Is there really a need to go through all the trouble? “If we just gather enough orphans and teach them, wouldn’t one of them survive and continue the legacy of Tianreimun?”

“…….”

“I felt disgusted with myself.”

“So, are you saying that the White Lightning Demonic Art is a martial art that should be eliminated?”

“okay. Not only me, but my future successors will also live with the same concerns. Perhaps one of them will give in to temptation and abandon human principles.”

Even the martial arts people, who live with their necks at the point of their swords, have a duty.

Even if a war breaks out and hundreds or thousands of martial arts people die, it is their own choice.

Because that’s what it means to step into Moorim.

However, the sacrifice of ordinary people who had no contact with Moorim was a completely different problem.

A martial art that requires the sacrifice of dozens of men, women, and men?

It should already be considered an apostate way or a magic way, not a right way.

“You said earlier, ‘Until I complete a body that can withstand high-density internal energy.’ Is there some special method?”

“Baekrei Shingong has the ability to strengthen the practitioner’s body and strengthen the blood vessels. The body evolves by adapting to internal energy. “Once you exceed a certain level, your self-healing ability becomes extremely high and you no longer suffer internal injuries from any shock.”

“That’s amazing.”

“I can say without a doubt that in theory, it is the best defense strategy in the midfield.”

It was a remark that felt so prideful that it even seemed arrogant.

However, the expression of Dokgo Woojin, the subject of the remarks, was not very bright.

No matter how great your martial arts skills are, what do you do?

There is no way to pass this on to others.

After staring at the ceiling and thinking for a while, I blurted out.

“Please pass on the White Thunder Divine Art to me.”

“What have you heard me say so far?”

“I understand the risk is high.”

“They say that too much confidence can be toxic.”

“I am not reckless enough to risk my life on low odds.”

“In the first place, those who have learned other mental techniques cannot enter the White Thunder Divine Gong.”

“The only mind technique I have learned is the basic technique, Samjaesimbeop.”

“…!”

“Actually, we don’t have that much leeway. “If things continue like this, the balance of the mind and body will collapse in the near future.”

“…You could die.”

“Even if I die, it is my responsibility.”

“It’s okay to take responsibility.”

“I will settle the debt of my son’s life with that.”

“…….”

“only once. Please watch me use the White Lightning God Technique just once. Just once, the head of the school will be convinced. “If you still object then, I will give up completely.”

“Do you really have to do that?”

“I am stubborn about one bull.”

Dokgo Woojin shook his head as if he was tired.

“At least we’ll talk again after I get better. “Now is the time to absolutely calm down.”

“All right.”

“Anyway, since you’re awake, please talk to me soon.”

“What do you mean?”

“The reason why my son was kidnapped by demonic bastards.”

“Oh, come to think of it, I said I would tell you, but I forgot.”

“Actually, I was asleep.”

“Cheonakgun, the first disciple of the Heavenly Demon Cult, learned the martial arts. Since it is a martial art with a very positive nature, it is necessary to replenish the yin energy every time the achievement increases, and it is said that there is nothing better than Cheonyinjiji as an offering.”

“…!”

The sound of teeth grinding was heard.

I secretly turned my gaze away from Dokgo Woojin, whose face was contorted like a murderer.

“How did you know that?”

“I heard it through Hao Wen.”

“Are you saying that Haomun sold such important information to you?”

“yes.”

This time, he lied and sold Hao Wen’s name.

It was truly convenient as most doubts could be resolved just by giving a name.

“The whereabouts of the Cheonumji body must have already been delivered to the Cheonakgun due to the Eumsal Demon Demon.”

“…….”

“I think living a quiet secluded life is wrong.”

“Tsk… … .”

“What happened to the ghost demon?”

“The limbs were broken, the dantian was abolished, and the center was crushed and handed over to the Qingcheng sect.”

“You mean you went that far?”

“Didn’t you? “There is no need to look after him because he is an old man who has accumulated a lot of karma.”

“That’s right. “Well done.”

“Currently, a large number of followers of the Qingcheng faction are being deployed to hunt down the remnants.”

“It looks like it ended well.”

“I heard that in the process of suppressing the remnants, a significant amount of supplies and wealth were recovered. “They said they would give some of it as a reward.”

“What is that…”

I was speechless because I was so dumbfounded.

It was Dokgo Woo-jin who caught the demon of Eumsal, and it was Dokgo Woo-jin who destroyed the core power of the ghost army.

But they said they would give some of the recovered wealth as a reward as if they were being generous?

‘Have you ever seen guys like this one?’

It was funny that the expression ‘return to water’ was used in the first place.

If anyone hears this, they will think that they are recovering property that originally belonged to them.

‘Anyway, you need to know that these Taoist monks are greedy.’

The mission given to Eumsalgwima by the cult leader was to procure war materials.

The unit of money being rolled in could not have been small.

I was very upset because I was afraid that someone would say that I was a bigot because I was trying to swallow the whole thing.

‘A weak and powerless person would live in sorrow.’

A Taoist is a practitioner who aims to become a sage?

I wish there were a bit more false accusations.

I was able to reflect on my goal of becoming an elder of the Murim Alliance.

I will definitely gain omnipotent power, steal other people’s merits, and live my life whining.

One month and fifteen days passed.

I got up from the hospital bed and relaxed my stiff body.

‘The day has finally arrived.’

A few days ago, I received a confirmation from Dokgo Woojin.

Today was the day I was supposed to learn the White Lightning God Art from him.

‘It is a mental method that can lead to death if it is not used perfectly according to the rules…’

There is no one in the world who can skillfully use the mental method of ascension from the beginning.

Because it’s not a matter of talent, but a matter of experience.

‘I like it.’

However, I was the only exception.

Because I have memories of my past life.

‘Experience is overflowing.’

The mental technique I learned in my past life was the Heavenly Demon Mind Gong.

Even though it was only half-hearted, it was undoubtedly true that it was an excellent study worthy of being called the method of ascension.

‘There is no way that I, who has mastered the Heavenly Demon’s Heart Gong, can’t even enter the White Thunder God Gong.’

I left the hospital room with brisk steps.

The time has come to put wings on the tiger’s back and place the pearl in the dragon’s mouth.
