Chapter 135
No Cheon-myeong, who seemed to have lost his words and was blinking his eyes, burst into a hollow laugh.
“Wow… Hey, Pae Woon.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Isn’t this guy really fucking crazy?”
“…I don’t know.”
I interrupted the conversation between the two master and disciple that was about to continue.
More precisely, I had to interrupt it.
Where is the ultimate place, where the origin returns to emptiness and silence.
Where is the ultimate place, where the origin returns to emptiness and silence.
At the incantation formula that flowed from my mouth, No Cheon-myeong and Pae Woon immediately shut their mouths.
Pae Woon was tilting his head in confusion, but No Cheon-myeong’s eyes were trembling like mad.
“You… what is that… No… what did you just say…?”
“The ultimate place and where the origin returns to emptiness and silence.”
“…Ultimate… origin… emptiness and silence…?”
“It needs to continue like this for the incantation formulas that follow to be completed.”
“…How do you…?”
“I told you I don’t want to say. What I want to tell you is the incantation formula that follows next. May I tell you?”
“Tell… Yes, tell me. No, speak.”
I nodded and slowly continued speaking.
Where are truth and falsehood, everything returns to emptiness and silence.
Where are truth and falsehood, everything returns to emptiness and silence.
My words ended.
Not even the sound of breathing was flowing around us.
No Cheon-myeong’s expression was truly like that of a sage who had witnessed the birth of heaven and earth.
He probably couldn’t be that surprised.
“…Truth and… falsehood… the answer was the question itself.”
Tears streamed down from his eyes.
“…The ultimate place was… already within me?”
I gazed quietly at No Cheon-myeong.
“I cannot give you an answer to that question.”
“…”
“What I can give you would be completion.”
“…Completion?”
I lifted up the paper in my hand.
“The Cheon-in Hwa-sin Gyeol written here is not the complete form.”
“…What…?”
“It means that even if the incantation formulas that follow are completed, the incantation formula itself is not completed.”
No Cheon-myeong’s eyes widened greatly.
“Don’t… don’t tell me…”
“Yes. There are more contents before this.”
“Then… I have… devoted 50 years to solving something that was only half complete… I… I…?”
That’s right.
Why did No Cheon-myeong commit suicide?
He would have decoded this incantation formula.
He would have completed everything to the very end, and then he would have realized.
That this was only half complete.
In other words, it meant he had wasted 50 years in vain, and his past time would never return.
He must have felt empty and depressed.
That’s how No Cheon-myeong took his own life, and his disciple Pae Woon also took his own life.
This is one person’s record and regret.
And I had also solved the first part of the Cheon-in Hwa-sin Gyeol.
I opened my mouth in a quiet voice.
From existence comes non-existence, from non-existence comes existence.
From existence comes non-existence, from non-existence comes existence.
Where heaven and human become one, when things and I become one body.
Where heaven and human become one, when things and I become one body.
The mind moves following qi, qi transforms following the mind.
The mind moves following qi, qi transforms following the mind.
Heaven and earth move and stop by themselves.
Heaven and earth move and stop by themselves.
No Cheon-myeong could no longer speak.
I slowly placed my hand on the shoulder of him who was just staring at me blankly.
The realm of Heaven-Human Unity comes not through endless effort, but in the moment of letting go of all effort.
“Senior No.”
“…Speak.”
“It’s not about accumulating existence for non-existence, but discovering existence within the non-existence that already exists – that is the core of the Cheon-in Hwa-sin Gyeol.”
“…”
“I don’t know who created it, but the person who first made this incantation formula must have been an existence that surpassed even Primordial Sole Existence. What is a martial artist? What is the world and what is qi? What does it mean to become one with the flow of heaven and earth?”
“…”
“It’s not talking about simple ascending martial arts, but penetrating the essence of the world. Senior No.”
“…Yes.”
“Now please let it go.”
As soon as those words ended, tremendous radiance began bursting from No Cheon-myeong’s eyes.
It wasn’t the end.
Paaaaang-!!
Tremendous aura exploded outward, the manor was completely destroyed, and I felt enormous pressure as I was blown backward.
After barely landing, I lifted my head to look.
Pae Woon had already drawn his sword and stuck it into the ground to anchor himself, and Manager Seong was holding Won Yang who had almost crashed his head into the sharp part of the cliff.
I shifted my gaze.
No Cheon-myeong.
As if everything was bursting out at once, like a dam breaking, truly transcending the realm of nature to become one with heaven and earth.
His internal energy that had been blocked for 50 years began flowing like a waterfall.
The first realm of the Five Realms of Martial God.
It was a leap to Heaven-Human Unity.
* * *
He was dazed.
His mind, which usually worked well, seemed to have stopped just for this moment today.
However, even if his mind had stopped, his heart had not stopped.
Trickle.
Hot tears flowed down both of Pae Woon’s cheeks.
“Master…”
Pae Woon recalled this moment from 20 years ago, when he first came to this place.
No Cheon-myeong asked the seventeen-year-old boy covered in blood.
-Do you have somewhere to go?
It was a simple question. Pae Woon shook his head.
-I too am here, but I am wandering.
No Cheon-myeong smiled sadly and said briefly.
-If you have nowhere to go, then serve me.
That was the beginning.
How does the world call No Cheon-myeong?
A flower past its time. A talent that was once genius but completely withered after failing to break through the wall of the Five Realms of Martial God.
A stubborn fool who cannot acknowledge his own limits and has been circling the same place for decades.
And.
A living lesson of Murim.
They do not know. The burning passion contained in No Cheon-myeong’s heart.
How deeply he wandered in anguish searching for truth.
-My disciple, what matters is not reaching the destination, but walking the path.
These were the words No Cheon-myeong had said to Pae Woon on his most desperate day.
Even in that moment when he offered comfort to his disciple that he himself did not believe, No Cheon-myeong’s eyes never wavered.
-I will definitely… someday… decode this.
That back figure holding cold tea, repeating the same Incantation Formula a thousand times, ten thousand times.
Taking Energy Circulation upon Energy Circulation until well past midnight.
Even torture that drove his own body to the extreme under the guise of training.
But now a blue light was swirling and rising from No Cheon-myeong’s, no, Master’s entire body.
It was a scene as if heaven and earth were opening.
No Cheon-myeong’s face was peaceful. No, it was not simple peacefulness. It was an overwhelming tranquility like the deep sea.
The sight of Master taking Energy Circulation with such a comfortable appearance was more beautiful than anything else in this world.
Pae Woon bowed down on that spot.
He engraved this moment deep in his heart.
This moment when Master’s 50 years of wandering had finally come to an end.
