Chapter 149: Finally…

Heavenly peaches were delivered from the Immortal Realm.

Then, as if by magic, his interest in the war completely dropped.

With heavenly peaches sitting right there in the Infinite Space, how could anything else catch his eye?

Besides, the European Imperial Forces were leading a massive army and marching toward Moscow, so they’d handle things well on their end.

‘I need to prepare thoroughly to eat the heavenly peach.’

He needed secluded training in a quiet place.

And plenty of time too.

In the past, the poisons sent from the Immortal Realm – the Ten Thousand Year Centipede Poison Pill, the Poison Horn Flower Net Poison Pill, and the Immortal Crane’s Crane Crest Red poison.

When he went into seclusion to digest these, the period lasted almost a full month.

Thanks to that, he achieved mastery of Honweonmusangdokryeongong.

This time it was a heavenly peach.

He’d need to go into seclusion again, and there was no telling how long it would take.

‘I should exchange deliveries one more time.’

This time there was only one heavenly peach, but the letter said that next time they’d send plenty of Immortal Realm flowers and black iron.

Let’s receive the Immortal Realm flowers and black iron first before starting.

Tae-ju immediately went to Gurye.

He met with Baek Seo-yeon right away.

“…When did you arrive?”

“Just now. I’m sorry for being away so often.”

“It’s fine. As long as you returned safely, that’s what matters.”

Baek Seo-yeon also knew that a nuclear bomb had exploded in Moscow.

She had been worried sick.

But seeing him perfectly fine like this, how fortunate was that?

“The thing is, I might need to lock myself in the training room for a month, maybe even longer.”

“The training room… like before?”

“Yes!”

“I’ll prepare it right away.”

Baek Seo-yeon was actually relieved.

This was much better than him constantly seeking out dangerous places.

Next, Tae-ju called Chang-hun and Soon-cheol.

They came running in a hurry.

“Master!”

“Good, nothing happened while I was gone?”

“We’re currently preparing for the Paju raid…”

He had completely forgotten.

They had planned to raid the Paju DMZ Monster Concentration Zone.

It couldn’t be helped.

That would have to be postponed.

“Remember when I stayed in the training room for about a month before?”

“Yes, we remember.”

“I think I’ll need to do that again this time.”

“Ah! Then we’ll just postpone the raid. Don’t worry about it. We’ll thoroughly guard the door.”

Tae-ju also called Jeong Yeon-hee in Paju.

He explained the situation.

– I’ll wrap up what I’m doing and come down to Gurye too.

“There’s no need to go that far.”

– No, I should come. I can use this opportunity to check on the TJ Guild members’ swordsmanship too.

He also called The Emperor.

“I’ve come to Gurye.”

– Oh! Good thinking. The situation over there is completely dark right now. There are even rumors of a massive wave occurring. Let’s lay low until we get reliable information.

“Still, I won’t be reachable for a while. If you have urgent matters, please talk to Seo-yeon.”

Tae-ju called people to begin security construction on his home training room.

They installed a sturdy steel door and new locking mechanisms.

And he’d need to fast too.

According to Danggumak’s letter, it was best not to drink even water for at least 5 days.

This was to maximize the absorption rate of the heavenly peach.

Time passed.

Zzzirrrrr.

The delivery signal from the Immortal Realm.

‘It’s here.’

The shared warehouse was filled with Immortal Realm flowers and black iron ingots.

After exchanging the items, he sent a letter he had written in advance.

He was about to enter seclusion to consume the heavenly peach.

So deliveries might not be possible.

Tae-ju went to the large Taehong Bio warehouse in Gurye.

It wasn’t an ordinary warehouse.

It was fully equipped with refrigeration and freezing facilities.

With repeated shopping trips, Baek Seo-yeon had turned the entire warehouse into something almost like a department store.

The final preparation was filling the infinite warehouse to capacity.

What would happen when he ate the heavenly peach?

The incomplete Toxic Spirit might be completed.

Along with the fourth soul connection.

When the third soul connection was established, a special event had occurred.

The event where Danggumak’s and his own entire Infinite Space became a shared warehouse.

‘There’s a very high possibility that a special event will occur with the fourth soul connection too. I need to fill it without gaps.’

Tae-ju took out the Immortal Realm flowers and black iron ingots in the dedicated Gurye Taehong Bio warehouse.

So there would be no disruption to MRC and ship manufacturing while he was in seclusion.

He filled the empty space with Earth’s goods.

Sports cars bought from the American Republic.

SUVs and large limousines produced by Baekdu Automotive.

And all the products stored in the warehouse.

Tae-ju returned to his home.

Now he just needed to eat the heavenly peach…

Suddenly!

“Hyung-nim!”

It was Kim Dong-hun, Taehong Bio’s security chief and white hacker.

‘I forgot about this guy.’

There was something he had asked him to do.

“You’ve been well?”

After briefly asking about his well-being.

“Oh right! I have something to tell you. That intranet you designed for me. The installation is almost finished. Those people asked me to tell you thanks.”

“Hehe, really? I put some thought into it. Made it so even beginners could install it easily.”

Kim Dong-hun didn’t ask where these communication devices were being used either.

Because Baek Seo-yeon had earnestly requested this.

There was no need to know where the chairman was sending these.

Just make them as instructed.

“Actually, I have something to give you.”

“What is it?”

“I made a dedicated smartphone. I installed a shopping mall payment system, SNS for content communication, and a simple platform connection app for watching movies.”

“Oh!”

The crowning jewel of the Immortal Realm intranet.

A machine capable of network communication from there.

“How many did you make?”

“About 500…”

“What about the cost?”

“CEO Baek Seo-yeon provided it.”

“Did you bring them now?”

“I loaded them in the car.”

Perfect timing.

Let’s put those in the Infinite Space too.

Tae-ju entered the training room.

Baek Chang-hun spoke with a serious expression, as if making a vow.

“I will guard it well so no one can approach.”

“I’m counting on you, and you too, Ilbaek.”

He wasn’t too worried.

Ilisambaeyi would be outside as well.

The thick steel door closed.

The training room, now left alone.

‘Phew.’

He was so incredibly hungry.

He had starved for 5 days.

He hadn’t even drunk water.

Tae-ju took out a heavenly peach from the Infinite Space.

However, the room filled with an auspicious fragrance.

Twitch.

The poison registry reacted just from the smell.

He brought the heavenly peach to his mouth.

Crunch!

He took a big bite.

‘This is driving me crazy.’

It was so delicious.

The flesh was neither hard nor soft.

But the juice was incredible.

It dripped down from his lips.

Of course, he didn’t let a single drop fall.

* * *

Seon-gye Multiplex 1st Floor.

The Seon-gye Restaurant operated by Gal Hong.

“Hey, monkey!”

“Y-you called?”

“Yeah, delivery of one chicken to table 8 in front of the Seon-gye World carousel.”

“Leave it to me.”

Jecheon Daeseong plucked a hair from his forearm.

But then?

“Stop right there!”

“Why?”

“This bastard, trying to pull tricks from the start? You said you wanted to serve the Immortal Realm? Then you have to do it with your own power.”

“My clones are also my power.”

“Want to die? Want to go to the Realm of the Buddhas?”

“N-no! I’ll go and come back quickly. Then what about the cloud…”

“You can ride that. Swift delivery! That’s the life of a delivery person.”

“Hmm, understood.”

“Don’t eat any on the way. If even one chicken neck goes missing, you’re dead.”

“…”

Jecheon Daeseong’s service to the Immortal Realm began with simple errands.

Free Immortal Realm service.

Also known as Delivery of the Immortal Realm.

“Monkey! Go to that Seon-gye Cafe and get me a caramel macchiato, a cold one.”

“…Caramel ma, what?”

“Sigh, this bastard, iced caramel macchiato!”

“Ah, got it.”

“Here, this is a delivery tip.”

Ju-seon tossed him a banana.

‘…Damn, do they really think I’m a monkey.’

It wasn’t just delivery.

When the celestials left and Seongyeworld closed.

“Clean it thoroughly.”

Hwangcheon-gye black iron ingot delivery too.

“The monkey’s here!”

“Quickly move the black iron ingots. Don’t use clones.”

Palace of Peach Blossoms.

“Seo Wang-mo says she needs people to pull weeds in the Seondo field. Go quickly.”

Cheon-gye.

“The celestials picked heavenly flowers and piled them at the mini-car parking lot, so gather all of that and bring it.”

Ah.

The seeping sense of defeat and humiliation.

But there was no choice.

To become a legitimate member of the Immortal Realm, he had to endure any humiliation.

‘Just wait and see.’

It would be a big mistake to underestimate him.

Was Jecheon Daeseong’s power limited to just physical strength?

He had been called cunning and crafty countless times.

He already had a plan in place.

The immortals of the Immortal Realm would definitely pay the price.

‘Hehehe, stupid fools.’

How dare they look down on me when they can’t even see an inch ahead?

They would regret it in the end.

Once you get used to free service, you gradually become tamed.

‘It’s free now, but…’

Later, he planned to switch to paid service.

Once they had sufficiently tasted the sweetness of free service, they would have no choice but to continue using it even when it became paid.

‘What? Yama and Seo Wang-mo are the top VIPs?’

How ridiculous.

When Delivery of the Immortal Realm became paid, the richest person in the Immortal Realm would be Jecheon Daeseong himself.

‘I’ll suck their coins dry.’

And he would buy up everything in the shopping mall.

* * *

Earth.

Kim Tae-ju’s Home Training Room.

He ate an entire Heavenly Peach whole.

Not a single drop of juice spilled.

And Tae-ju fell into sleep.

It was a long sleep.

So long that he lost track of how much time had passed.

The Heavenly Peach was slowly being digested.

The energy also spread leisurely.

Phenomena like bone transformation or body cleansing did not occur.

There was no pain like what he felt when consuming poison.

It was very peaceful.

A sense of fullness that filled his body.

Tae-ju slowly awakened from sleep.

His mind was very refreshed.

Except for the fact that he couldn’t move his body.

‘What? Am I having sleep paralysis?’

His heart was also beating very slowly.

It felt like he had fallen into a state of suspended animation.

However, he could see the clock hanging on the wall.

Five days had passed since entering the training room.

What had changed?

Nothing special, but he could sense how the energy of the Heavenly Peach was flowing.

The Heavenly Peach digested in his stomach transmitted its energy to his blood vessels.

Energy gathering in his heart.

Thump.

When his heart pulsed, the energy spread throughout his body along the blood vessels, little by little.

‘It’s too slow.’

The sixth day.

Energy penetrating into the capillaries of his arms and legs.

The tenth day.

This time to his internal organs.

The fifteenth day.

The energy passed through his upper body and headed toward his head.

It wrapped around his entire brain through the blood vessels.

‘Mmm.’

Ecstatic.

It felt like he would float up to the sky.

However, the energy of the Heavenly Peach didn’t go near the Poison Registry either.

The twentieth day.

Finally, the energy of the Heavenly Peach reached out toward the Poison Registry.

It crept closer slowly.

As it approached, the Poison Registry began to vibrate.

Wooooooooong!

That was when it happened.

The energy of the Heavenly Peach, which had only moved slowly, suddenly surged rapidly like rapids flowing through a valley.

‘…What?’

Ziiiiing!

The Poison Registry swelled up.

A sign of Poison Registry explosion.

A phenomenon he had already experienced twice.

But this time was different.

The swelling of the Poison Registry didn’t stop.

It kept growing larger.

Throughout Tae-ju’s entire body.

Thus, his whole body became the Poison Registry.

In an instant!

The Poison Registry began to vibrate.

Woong! Woong! Woong! Woong! Woong! Woong!

‘Oh no…’

And it began to explode.

Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!

Small explosions occurred here and there throughout his body.

Papapapapapapapapapop!

His entire body exploded all at once.

‘Ahhhhhhh…’

An exclamation flowed from Tae-ju’s mouth.

The emotion he was currently feeling.

It was unity.

The Poison Registry and his consciousness had merged.

He was the Poison Registry, and the Poison Registry was him.

‘It’s the Toxic Spirit.’

The ultimate realm of Honweonmusangdokryeongong.

Heart-Poison Unity.

Hidden weapons shot where his heart led, and when he manifested his will, poison was already there.

A Poison Registry that had acquired spirituality.

In other words, a Toxic Spirit.

Thus, he could also deploy Ten Thousand Flowers Rain.

Controlling hundreds of thousands of hidden weapons at once while designating individual targets for each weapon.

How amazing was that?

Any ordinary monster-infested area could be cleared in an hour.

What about Beyond Elite monsters?

‘It seems possible.’

No matter how great their energy barriers were, could they really block the concentrated attacks unleashed by Ten Thousand Flowers Rain?

He had finally awakened the Toxic Spirit.

But the Poison Registry explosion was still continuing.

Boom! Boomboomboomboom!

The energy of the Heavenly Peach filling him up – heavenly energy.

In fact, even half of half would have been enough to reach the Toxic Spirit level.

However, excess was as bad as deficiency.

There was too much heavenly energy.

The heavenly energy that remained even after awakening the Toxic Spirit still surged through Tae-ju’s body.

“Ugh!”

Heavenly energy trapped inside his body.

It was even continuing to increase.

Unable to find an exit, it pounded throughout Tae-ju’s entire body.

Eventually.

“Ah!”

Crack!

His Baihui acupoint opened.

His Yongquan acupoint also opened.

Tae-ju shot up to his feet.

He absolutely couldn’t lie down.

Heavenly energy rose through the crown of his head, breaking through the blocked ceiling and ascending to the sky.

At the same time, it flowed down through the soles of his feet into the earth below.

Unity of Heaven and Earth.

The earth, Tae-ju, and the heavens became one.

And then.

Spot!

Tae-ju vanished in an instant.

The training ground was empty.

In fact, the Heavenly Peach has one very well-known effect.

That is precisely…

* * *

Heavenly Realm.

Danju Seonin was lightly jogging while wearing a training set and sneakers he had bought with coins.

What would an Immortal need exercise for, one might ask.

But having tried it, it was surprisingly good.

He ran a lap around Celestial World, passed the entrance to the Peach Garden of Utopia, and jogged along the road leading to Cheon-gye.

After this refreshing run, he would stop by the Hwansu Realm to find and gather the ghost yellow paper materials and mirror cinnabar needed for talismans.

It was his usual routine.

Once he finished all this, he would head to work at the Multiplex.

He would fill his stomach with a simple salad and carbonated water at the Multiplex restaurant, lie on the massage chair for about an hour, then watch a drama.

Suddenly!

A person visible in the distance.

‘That face looks very familiar…’

When he went closer to check.

“Oh! Greetings! Kim Tae-ju.”

“…Ah, yes yes.”

“I was exercising. These shoes are so cushiony and comfortable, hahaha! By the way, are you using the talisman I gave you well?”

“I’m using it well.”

“If you need more, just let me know anytime. Well then, I’ll be off!”

Danju Seonin ran past Tae-ju and continued on.

But then.

Stop!

He suddenly halted his steps.

And slowly turned his head.

“…Huh?”

What on earth?

Dan-ju’s pupils shook violently.
