Chapter 76
‘The secret manuals are disappearing?’
Yeo Eun-so’s eyes widened as much as they possibly could.
The secret manuals were disappearing in real time, so she couldn’t help but react this way.
Every time Jung Myeong touched them, the secret manuals turned into light and vanished.
‘Did he possess such divine power as well?’
For Yeo Eun-so, this was a miraculous sight she was witnessing for the first time.
However, Jung Myeong, who was directly performing the task, had no time to explain.
[You are learning Innate Skill.]
[You are learning Mutual Return Sword Technique.]
[You are learning One Energy Transforms Three Pure.]
[You are learning Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation.]
.
.
‘This is going to kill me.’
For him, secret manuals were essentially skill books.
Learning skill books themselves was easy.
This was something that could be done quickly.
The problem was the aftermath.
Just as when he had learned the Three Origin Heart Technique before, learning new martial arts meant accepting them into himself.
Though he wasn’t doing the foolish thing of learning them all the way to the twelfth level at once.
‘Since the martial arts grades are high, they contain many profound principles.’
Especially the secret manual that existed at the very end.
The martial art he belatedly identified only after absorbing all the secret manuals was the problem.
[Heaven Escape Sword: You have obtained the foundation.]
‘Wasn’t this a secret manual that only existed in legends?’
The Heaven Escape Sword that Yeo Dong-bin, the founding patriarch of the Quanzhen Sect, was said to have learned from an immortal and used.
‘Kugh…’
Even learning just a portion of this brought tremendous repercussions.
Simply learning the first level was no easy task.
His head felt like it was going to split open.
This happened as he learned the profound principles contained within and stored their applications.
The level was too high, far too high. On top of this, the profound principles of other martial arts were mixing together. The repercussions were even more enormous.
‘If I hadn’t reached the super peak level just before this… I might have died?’
In a moment of carelessness, his head would have burst.
To die while learning martial arts.
It was an absurd situation.
But it was something that could actually happen.
However, what he gained through this was enormous.
A vast amount of martial arts knowledge, profound principles, their applications, and harmonies were deeply engraved.
At this moment, his understanding of Quanzhen Sect martial arts was enough to confidently claim it surpassed anyone else’s!
What he gained was immense.
If he just invested his surplus points, even achieving mastery wouldn’t be difficult.
It could be said he had gained a tremendous foundation.
And the system seemed to encourage this.
[You learn multiple martial arts at once.]
[You obtain the title: Martial Arts Collector.]
[Your overall comprehension of martial arts increases.]
[The speed at which you learn martial arts increases.]
[The points required to master martial arts decreases.]
A new title, Martial Arts Collector.
This unprecedented title was pushing him to master all the martial arts he had learned.
‘Heart methods would be dangerous just to circulate…’
But sword techniques, footwork, and formations could be learned without any problem.
In fact, just surviving this ordeal had made him stronger.
“Whew…”
He barely managed to digest it all.
All of this had taken less than half a moment.
Yeo Eun-so watched him with cautious eyes.
“Is it the power of divine abilities?”
“That’s right.”
“Then the secret manuals that disappeared…”
Jung Myeong tapped his head with his index finger.
“They’re stored in here.”
“…”
Yeo Eun-so’s mouth fell wide open.
Suddenly light appeared, the secret manuals disappeared.
And the contents of those secret manuals were now inside his head.
‘This is absolutely impossible.’
Where else could such a miracle be found?
If it hadn’t happened right before their eyes, it would have been absolutely impossible to believe.
“You’ll have to explain the details when we get back.”
“Of course.”
In any case, they had succeeded in erasing all traces with this.
“Well then, shall we go?”
“Yes. I’ll follow you.”
After this, the two immediately headed out of the cavern.
* * *
Grrrrrrk-
The entrance to the cavern opened with a strange sound. Those inside couldn’t possibly miss hearing it.
“What? Who made that noise!”
“Over there!”
The gazes of those searching inside focused on the two.
This was already expected.
No need for questions.
Taak-!
Instead of conversation, Jung Myeong launched his body forward.
“Urk…!”
“Huh!”
In front of his launching body, people from the Jusan Archipelago with surprised eyes came into view.
‘Quite diverse indeed.’
The Jusan Archipelago.
Located near Hangzhou, it was inhabited by pirates whose races were diversely mixed.
Those who had committed crimes in Hangzhou and fled.
Japanese who had crawled in from outside and naturalized.
Besides these, countless others with various stories gathered here – this was the true identity of the Jusan Archipelago.
‘Truly a melting pot of races and a collection of people with all kinds of stories – that’s the identity of this Jusan Archipelago.’
Some even said that the Sea Horn Group, one of the Hangzhou Three Major Forces, was actually part of the Jusan Archipelago.
It wasn’t strange that their numbers were so large.
“They came out from there! Attack!”
“Capture them! We need to subdue and take them!”
‘Oh? They want to subdue us?’
These people of various appearances all had fierce expressions.
And they were trying to subdue Jung Myeong.
‘Should I also try subduing for now?’
They hadn’t come to kill?
They must want to obtain something.
Then there was no need for him to aim for their lives either.
If it were before, perhaps.
But now that he had reached Super Peak Level, he wasn’t afraid of them anymore.
‘I can see everything clearly.’
Their movements, intentions, martial techniques. All of it was visible to his eyes moment by moment.
Who was it that said?
Just see and avoid, right?
It was the same for him.
The moment he could see the intentions of the Martial Artists before him without missing anything, everything became easy.
What remained after that was only attack.
[Three Origin Kill Sword: Underground Killing Intent]
The first technique of the Three Origin Kill Sword unfolded. Swift Strike and Illusion. The certain kill contained within.
‘I’ll limit this killing intent.’
In its place.
‘Shall I incorporate the profound principles of weight from the Mutual Return Sword Technique?’
He incorporated the profound principles of weight.
Weight into Swift Strike and Illusion.
Principles that had no compatible aspects anywhere.
However, what he had gained upon reaching Super Peak Level was none other than application!
Based on blooming perfection from imperfection.
He had planted his will to utilize anything by planting it afterward.
Thus his Martial Arts became the practice of will blooming from contradiction.
Pababababak-!
Among Swift Strike and Illusion, the profound principles of weight were successfully planted.
The rapidly flying sword multiplied into dozens.
The profound principles of weight acted on each multiplied sword, presenting a crushing pressure like Mount Tai.
Swords that had instantly multiplied several times over and their weight.
“Huh…!”
“Keurk…!”
How could mere pirates from the Jusan Archipelago withstand that?
Bodies bent just from the wind pressure pouring around them.
And those who tried to face it head-on.
Grrrrk-
His arm breaks as he collapses just like that.
“Argh…!”
The power of Underground Killing Intent that didn’t end there flowed out to the outside.
Geugeung- Geugeuk- Huuuuung-!
The power that spread with a strange roar continued to multiply and strike the surroundings as if breeding.
“Keoeoek.”
“Argh…!”
“Wh-what is this!”
Just one martial technique.
With that, all those densely positioned in the cavern either collapsed or were subdued.
The bandits of Jusan Archipelago instinctively felt it.
‘Th-this guy is not someone we can oppose.’
‘We heard he was peak level… but even for peak level, isn’t this too much!’
That Jung Myeong was a more powerful person than known!
They realized it, but it was already too late.
He would just not take their lives.
In a situation where they pointed swords at each other, wasn’t injury something within the range they had to accept?
There was no hesitation in Jung Myeong’s sword as he decided to subdue them.
He unleashed his techniques generously as if the bandits before his eyes were his new sparring partners who had reached super peak level.
[Three Origin Kill Sword: Shatter Heaven Establish Justice]
[One Energy Transforms Three Pure: True]
Illusion and Swift Strike are the foundation of Three Origin Kill Sword.
The mystery of Shatter Heaven Establish Justice that crushes enemies with tyrannical way. Adding one more to this, the mystery of basic illusion that creates three from one technique is enhanced.
Geugeugeugeueung-!
Thus, enormous energy descends from above to below as if the sky was collapsing.
“Eoeoek…!”
“Th-the cavern is collapsing!”
It was merely energy descending.
Tseutseutseutseutse-
But to the eyes of the bandits facing this, it seemed like the ceiling above was collapsing.
It was thanks to the mystery of illusion working to bewitch their eyes.
What could a mere human do when natural terrain was collapsing?
“R-run away…!”
“Argh…!”
At the sight no different from a natural disaster, even their will to respond was broken.
They immediately tried to flee.
But amid the collapsing cavern, there was no corner for them to escape to.
Geugeugeugeung!
They could only stare blankly at the collapsing cavern.
“Keuk!”
That was their fatal mistake.
Peoeoek! Peok!
While they gave up everything and stared blankly.
Jung Myeong’s sword pommel strike imbued with his will hit their faces.
Originally it was a sword without substance since it contained the mystery of illusion.
But because his will was embedded in it, it could fully exert physical force.
The result was devastating.
“Kueoek…!”
The moment they were hit by the sword, their jawbones crumbled and teeth broke and fell out.
Those hit in the head had their skulls crack as if they would split.
“Argh!”
Those who tried to muster courage to resist.
Kwajeujeuk-
Instead of their heads, the arms and swords they extended to block were crushed.
With one technique, those positioned in the cavern were subdued.
With two techniques, all those positioned in the cave extending long outside the cavern collapsed.
It was something that happened in less than ten breaths at most.
* * *
‘Just what… is this young master…’
Yeo Eun-so who saw this could hardly hide her surprise.
She wasn’t even allowed a moment to step forward.
‘Fast.’
Because Jung Myeong had subdued nearly dozens of people with just two techniques in the blink of an eye.
It was subduing, not even killing.
That subduing is more difficult than killing is a fact anyone would know.
Jung Myeong had done this far too easily.
It’s not that she couldn’t accomplish subduing either.
‘Doing it like this is impossible.’
She couldn’t do it this way. Absolutely not.
It was just recently that she was surprised by the fact that he connected Jeon Jin alchemy with divine power.
When they came to the cavern, he surprised her by connecting the true transmission of Jeon Jin martial arts.
‘To immediately absorb the enlightenment gained from inside like this.’
No matter how skilled a master might be, ignoring the absolute time required to absorb newly gained power.
To display such might.
It was surprising and then surprising again.
Despite having accomplished such an tremendous feat.
Jung Myeong himself.
“Well, shall we go?”
With a refreshed face, he simply called out to her.
What she could answer to this was already predetermined, wasn’t it.
“…Yes.”
Amidst her amazement, it was to follow him.
