Chapter 74
“Miss! Try to match the direction the Bronze Puppet is moving!”
“What?”
“This seems like it’s teaching Quanzhen Sect martial arts, doesn’t it? The footwork technique!”
“…Ah!”
In any case, this place was a secret cave created by the Quanzhen Sect.
Therefore, it was natural to assume that the Bronze Puppet would use Quanzhen Sect martial arts.
There had been a blind spot in that assumption.
‘I could see it while facing the Bronze Puppet.’
These Bronze Puppets were indeed made for training from the beginning.
The creator of this place intended to transmit martial arts through these Bronze Puppets.
“That’s right! This Bronze Puppet is guiding me when I move in the predetermined directions.”
“Exactly!”
“But… how do we learn this!?”
However, a problem still existed.
Martial arts couldn’t be learned just by observing their forms.
If they could be learned just by watching, they would have been leaked long ago.
Moreover, martial arts were fundamentally kept secret from outsiders.
Martial arts required appropriate incantation formulas.
But then…
As Seol Mae-geom began to properly execute the footwork technique, a change occurred.
[Heaven-Shaking Blood Lock Formation is activating.]
The Heaven-Shaking Blood Lock Formation that had trapped the two.
Originally a formation that trapped enemies inside and drove them mad by implanting illusions directly into their brains!
This formation had been quiet until now, but as the footwork was executed, it activated and revealed its hidden secrets.
The heavenly concealment existing in all directions covers the eyes of heaven and earth, and concealment manifests as illumination.
Harmonize with shadow-like movements.
Harmony is…
“I can see the incantation formula!”
“I can see it too.”
An illusion visible to Jung Myeong as well.
And the continuing incantation formula.
He couldn’t help but express his admiration at length.
‘Using formations and Bronze Puppets to transmit martial arts. A method I never even thought of. How ingenious.’
He had never imagined that martial arts could be transmitted in such a way.
However, there was one trap here as well.
Thud- Thud-
Following the footwork and learning the incantation formula was fine.
“Ugh…”
The problem was that Jung Myeong had not inherited the true transmission of Jeon Jin!
The heart method he had learned was the Three Origin Poison Art.
This poison art based on poison had no connection with Jeon Jin.
Therefore, when he used the Quanzhen Sect-based footwork technique, a small backlash arose.
‘A kind of internal injury.’
The Three Origin Poison Art was based on poison.
Jeon Jin martial arts were based on the teachings of the Three Teachings.
Later, Jeon Jin martial arts might be able to embrace the Three Origin Poison Art.
But for now, the combination of the two was not good.
As he groaned, Seol Mae-geom’s alarmed voice could be heard.
“Young Master! Are you alright!?”
“Kugh…”
Worry was evident in Seol Mae-geom’s voice.
For her, this was no different from a great opportunity since she was further enhancing footwork she had already learned through the Wooden Puppet.
But she realized that for Jung Myeong right now, it could be poison.
Wasn’t it thanks to that they had come this far.
“I’m fine. For now, Miss, please focus on learning the footwork technique. That will be the answer to getting through this place.”
“Still…”
Also, inwardly, she half-considered him a fellow disciple.
Excluding her deceased Master.
‘Only Sa Mae and Sa Jeo remain.’
As far as she knew, there were no other Quanzhen Sect disciples here.
Jung Myeong, an alchemist who suddenly appeared in this situation.
It was natural that she didn’t immediately consider him a fellow Jeon Jin disciple upon seeing him.
However, there was no need to only reject him.
‘Even Wudang doesn’t start with rejection, does it?’
Should it be called the original nature of Taoist sects?
Even Wudang was a place where numerous Taoist schools had united under the same name of Wudang.
‘Jeon Jin was the same.’
Though divided into teachings and sects, Jeon Jin was originally a place created by mixing various doctrines of the Three Teachings.
Therefore, she already knew well that even fellow sect members could be slightly different.
Though she had rejected him until now.
‘Even now when we’re risking our lives together, acting this way is neither proper nor right.’
Therefore, she made her decision.
‘I’ll pass it on.’
She decided to transmit the teachings of Jeon Jin that she possessed.
However, there was an obstacle to this as well.
‘It’s difficult to transmit Mind Art right now.’
No matter how outstanding a Martial Artist might be, learning Mind Art during combat, especially while suffering internal injuries, was impossible!
‘Since he possesses Divine Power, I can only trust that he’ll manage somehow!’
However, there was no other immediate option available.
“Young Master, please listen.”
“Yes!?”
“I’ll recite our Jeon Jin’s basic Heart Method. In the beginning, Heaven and Earth were divided, and between them humanity was placed, but that humanity ultimately….”
The Jeon Jin Mind Art she knew, the Golden Gate Jade Lock 24 Formulas.
Excluding the Mysterious Gate Orthodox Heart Method, it was the most excellent Mind Art.
This was the moment when the Mind Art called Golden Gate Jade Lock, uniquely divided into 24 formulas, was transmitted to Jung Myeong.
[You learn a new Internal Energy Heart Method: Golden Gate Jade Lock 24 Formulas.]
The Incantation Formula of the transmitted Heart Method.
While listening intently to it, Jung Myeong’s inner thoughts were complicated.
He knew why. Knowing the Incantation Formula in this situation wouldn’t change anything.
Surely that would be the case.
‘Hmm!? This is…!’
While listening, something struck him.
‘Taking Heaven, Earth, and Humanity as the foundation is a characteristic shared by most Central Plains sects’ Martial Arts. This characteristic… doesn’t it apply similarly to the Three Origin Poison Art!?’
It could be called a kind of enlightenment.
Part of the mind formulas contained in the Quanzhen Sect’s Golden Gate Jade Lock struck his mind.
[You have grasped the abilities of the Golden Gate Jade Lock 24 Formulas.]
[The abilities of the Golden Gate Jade Lock 24 Formulas become the beginning of enlightenment.]
This soon led to enlightenment.
The enlightenment melted into the Three Origin Poison Art, which had been his foundation for a very long time.
[The abilities of the Three Origin Poison Art increase.]
[The Three Origin Poison Art advances to Peak Level Martial Art!]
Thus, the Three Origin Poison Art itself, which he had mastered, was enhanced.
It was a moment that couldn’t help but be amazing.
Jung Myeong, who had actually received such fortune himself.
“Young Master…!?”
“….”
With his reason deeply immersed.
Whoooong- Whoong-
Melting his enlightenment while facing the Bronze Puppet before him.
He was thoroughly absorbing into himself everything that Jeon Jin had tried to transmit through the Bronze Puppet.
‘He has obtained fortune…!’
* * *
Swish-
After obtaining fortune, the size of his Sword Gang decreased.
From one jang to half a jang. Then to one cheok.
Soon it changed to one chi, becoming just enough to barely envelop his sword.
However, the tremendous force contained within remained the same.
Kwagagagagak-!
Its mere existence encompassed the surroundings, devouring the energy of the atmosphere.
It created Sword Gang that was more refined and powerful than before.
Kwageuk-!
When he cut down the Bronze Puppet in front with it, unlike before, the Bronze Puppet was completely destroyed without even being able to resist.
More Bronze Puppets should have appeared in response.
-….
-….
The Bronze Puppets that had been waiting stopped moving.
As if this was the moment the Bronze Puppets had been waiting for.
Jung Myeong accepted this as natural and caught his breath.
While doing so, at the same time.
[You have completely reached the realm of Super Peak Level.]
[Internal Energy increases by 5.]
[Your possessed Internal Energy condenses.]
[The power of your Internal Energy increases.]
[The destructive force of your Internal Energy increases.]
[The recovery power of your Internal Energy increases.]
[You naturally comprehend the mysteries of Concealment.]
[You comprehend the mysteries of Strength.]
[You comprehend part of the mysteries of Vitality.]
[The mysteries of Illusion and Swift Strike are enhanced.]
Tremendous benefits rushed toward him.
It didn’t take long to digest this.
Unlike last time, this time he had succeeded in embodying the essence of enlightenment he had gained himself.
“Whew….”
Thus, what he gained was immense.
It wasn’t just reaching the Super Peak Level that was the end.
‘Starting with footwork technique, I gained lightness skill. Starting with fist technique, I obtained sword technique.’
As soon as he received the essence of Same Return Step.
The Bronze Puppet transmitted the Quanzhen Fist Technique.
Just when he thought it would end there, it transmitted the Quanzhen Sword Technique to him.
The basic martial art and totality that Jeon Jin possessed!
He succeeded in melting down even enlightenment while receiving its transmission.
‘Perhaps in this era, I might have inherited Jeon Jin’s True Transmission most deeply.’
Thus, he realized for himself.
That he had succeeded in deeply inheriting Jeon Jin’s True Transmission.
The moment he connected all the True Transmissions of martial arts.
“Ah….”
Jung Myeong felt a small vibration in his dantian.
The 24 formulas of Quanzhen Sect’s Golden Gate Jade Lock.
The remaining formulas from it momentarily rang through his mind, creating a single stimulus.
As if this was exactly what needed to be done now!
Wooong- Woong-
He left such vibration as it was.
‘It’s right to let it move according to natural order.’
Having gained enlightenment.
According to it, he instinctively knew that even such vibration was one of the abilities created by the 24 formulas.
Thus, the created vibration rode up the dantian.
It rose through the Qihai, Guwei, and Janzhong acupoints.
In an instant, reaching his chest area.
Thud-thud-thud-!
The vibration struck his chest loudly.
Kuwoong. Kuwoong. Thump!
The vibration gradually increased in intensity, waiting for Jung Myeong to respond.
‘Ah… this is what it wants?’
At this, Jung Myeong clearly realized what the energy in his dantian wanted.
Following natural order, he added his will to the vibration.
At that moment, an unexpected effect occurred.
[Middle Dantian is opening.]
‘Ho. Middle Dantian here…!’
The Middle Dantian that had not opened until now.
Even masters who had reached Super Peak Level could not easily open the Middle Dantian.
He felt that Middle Dantian opening in his chest area.
Swish- Swoosh-
And simultaneously feeling the energies permeating the Middle Dantian, he felt a strange familiarity.
‘Why does the energy of the Middle Dantian feel familiar somehow? Ah…! That was it!’
Middle Dantian. He realized that the power contained within it was a power he had already been handling from before.
‘It was mana…!’
Originally, the power that would open upon Awakening from his previous life, mana.
He realized that this power, which had disappeared by being converted to internal energy despite his Awakening, was residing in the Middle Dantian.
‘Was I unknowingly using the Middle Dantian in my previous life? In this life, since I had already opened my dantian, it was converted?’
It was the moment he realized the type of power he had unknowingly used in his previous life.
Thus, the benefit he gained would certainly be immense.
Unlike others, he had been gaining power from his previous life.
Unlike others, he knew better than anyone how to utilize the Middle Dantian.
Therefore, the benefit could not help but be immense.
‘What if I combine the methods known from my previous life with the methods known to Martial Artists?’
Just combining what he knew would produce quite interesting results.
‘The future will be more interesting.’
Thus, as he gathered his enlightenment and smiled broadly at the brightly anticipated future.
“Young Master!”
As if waiting for this moment, Seol Mae-geom approached him.
