Chapter 152: Encounters in the Immortal Realm

Tae-ju received a detailed explanation from Jecheon Daeseong.

It wasn’t just ordinary fur.

It was fur that Jecheon Daeseong had personally plucked from his body and infused with magical power.

‘So I just need to scatter it.’

When scattered, the fur would become clone Sun Wukongs and multiply endlessly through division.

With just a handful of fur, hundreds of thousands of clones that absolutely obeyed Tae-ju’s commands would be created in mere seconds.

However, they couldn’t fully demonstrate their complete abilities.

There was a time limit.

The duration was approximately 1 hour.

Once they disappeared, they would be completely annihilated.

Originally, Jecheon Daeseong’s clone technique wasn’t single-use.

After plucking fur from his body to create clones, he could theoretically use it infinitely by continuously supplying magical power to prevent the clones from disappearing.

He could also share consciousness with the clones and give them complex instructions.

But the fur Tae-ju received operated using magical power that Jecheon Daeseong had pre-infused.

In other words, it was like having batteries inserted beforehand.

They would disappear once the magical power was exhausted.

He could only give simple instructions, and consciousness sharing wasn’t possible either.

Even so, its value didn’t diminish.

Because it was no different from possessing a massive Sun Wukong army that lasted for 1 hour.

‘This is too big a gift.’

Although Jecheon Daeseong had tried to steal the heavenly peach that was supposed to come to him, he had received a sincere apology.

So Tae-ju took out an Immortal Realm-exclusive smartphone as a return gift and handed it to Jecheon Daeseong.

“Would you like to have this at least?”

“Gasp! Th-this pr-precious thing.”

“The fur is more precious than this.”

“Ah, though it’s shameless of me, th-thank you…”

“For membership registration, let me just do it for you like this.”

Jecheon Daeseong was moved.

Not only did he accept the apology, but he even gave such a treasure?

How could he stay still?

“I’ll pluck more fur from my body for you.”

“Ah, no, there’s no need to go that far.”

There was no time to stop him.

Pluck, pluck, pluck, he pulled them out, then whooooo, carefully blew on them to imbue magical power.

“Here…”

“…”

“Please take it.”

It was burdensome, but since the fur was already plucked, he couldn’t refuse it.

“You don’t need to pluck any more now.”

“Hahaha, would there be another occasion to pluck more? Besides, I still have plenty of fur left.”

Jecheon Daeseong ran off somewhere with a bright smile.

Then Danggumak raised his hand and called out to him.

“Daeseong, let me see you for a moment.”

“…What for.”

“It’s good news, so don’t worry.”

“Ah! Is that so?”

Immortal Realm delivery man and fur manufacturer.

Danggumak felt pleased.

This was all thanks to Haemak Seonnyeo.

He had only forgiven because she told him to forgive, but who knew he would gain such fortune.

“I really see you in a new light.”

“Eh? Me?”

“Jecheon Daeseong’s name wasn’t just empty reputation after all. Let’s clear up past misunderstandings and seriously begin trading…”

At that moment.

News that Tae-ju had come to the Immortal Realm spread to the upper realms.

In Hwangcheon-gye, Yama said.

“Is it true that Hero Tae-ju has ascended to immortality?”

“It’s not permanent, and he’ll return soon.”

“Hmm, what is he doing now…”

“They say he’s distributing gifts to the immortals…”

“What?”

Yama stood up abruptly.

“Let’s go meet him right away.”

At the Palace of Peach Blossoms, Seo Wang-mo also said.

“Miho.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Quickly prepare to go to the Immortal Realm. Also prepare a basket with well-ripened, finest quality heavenly peaches.”

“I understand.”

Sangje of Heavenly Realm, Jamigung Palace.

“How could such a thing… How can a human?”

He couldn’t understand it at all.

A human who hadn’t even ascended to immortality came up to the Immortal Realm?

Even a being from another world?

When exchanges between worlds were established through shared spaces, he had imagined whether such things might happen.

‘I wonder if this isn’t a heaven-defying phenomenon…’

Sangje raised his head to check if the heavenly energy had been disturbed.

It hadn’t.

The operation of heavenly deities and natural laws was still smooth.

‘I can’t go see for myself either.’

There had been an argument about Dok-seon’s treatment at the upper realm representatives’ meeting.

So relations with the Immortal Realm had soured.

But he didn’t stop the celestial beings from going to play in the Immortal Realm.

Because the Heavenly Realm existed for the celestial beings.

If they wanted something, granting their wishes was the Heavenly Realm’s role.

‘Kim Tae-ju.’

What kind of person was he?

He couldn’t contain his curiosity.

‘I should send someone to see.’

The upper realms were stirring because of Tae-ju.

* * *

Earth.

Emperor Alex Caesar was moving toward Moscow, leading an elite mechanized division.

It was a war he absolutely could not lose.

Undead in modern science?

Of course, if the undead outbreak was caused by disease, that would be a different story.

That would be very frightening.

In the past, the Corona pandemic that occurred just before mana’s invasion began.

How much chaos did humanity experience because of that?

What if this undead outbreak was a similar pandemic?

The world would become a nightmare.

However, the undead that Drek Karaks creates are not caused by disease.

He simply raised corpses using necromancer black magic.

He knows from experience.

Undead existed in other worlds where souls like his lived too.

They don’t infect, and they disappear when you destroy the corpses.

They all vanish even if you kill the caster.

In short, it means the war would end if you just kill that one bastard Drek Karaks.

Of course, their numbers were not insignificant.

According to recent drone reconnaissance confirming the undead legion’s numbers, they exceeded one million.

But an army that travels in groups without concealment or cover is just a moving target, and you can deal significant damage by firing a few high-performance missiles intermittently.

The more he thinks about it, the easier it seems.

Rather, he’s worried it might end too quickly.

If possible, it should be drawn out.

Through fierce battles with the undead, he needs to highlight himself and subjugate neighboring countries to make all of Europe his territory.

‘Should I go say hello first?’

So he sent a few fighter-bombers.

Go drop some bombs and missiles and come back.

To show the power of modern scientific weapons, and also to test firepower.

But what’s this?

“…They crashed? All the fighter-bombers that sortied?”

“Y-yes, that’s correct.”

“How?”

“It’s very likely undead flying magical beasts. Probably suicide attacks…”

“You’re saying undead magical beasts had the speed to follow fighter-bombers?”

“F-forgive me, but it seems so.”

“Huu.”

He never thought of that.

‘Drek Karaks, that bastard had a trick up his sleeve too.’

Suddenly he feels anxious.

‘What if this leads to…’

That can’t happen.

He also has a secret weapon, one hidden card.

So it was still a war he couldn’t lose.

* * *

The time to be in the Immortal Realm was gradually decreasing.

The farewell between Tae-ju and Danggumak was not far off.

But the two couldn’t stay close together.

They conversed while staying far apart.

How did they communicate?

By shouting loudly with their mouths?

Through smartphone chat?

Neither.

The tool for conversation was precisely Manceon Hwau.

To compare the Manceon Hwau each had learned, and also to improve their proficiency.

Swish swish swish swish!

Tae-ju moved hidden weapons taken from Infinite Space with Toxic Spirit, arranging letters in the air.

[…For that reason, I deliberately got caught in the magic circle in Moscow.]

Danggumak also created letters in the air with black iron ingots.

Swish swish swish!

[Oh my! Such a dangerous thing to do.]

[I was curious about what the black magicians were doing, and as a result, the Swordsman helped me well in the dream.]

[Don’t do that again. Even though I trust you, there’s no such thing as absolute in this world. There are bastards who come out of nowhere too.]

Danggumak was right about that.

[From now on, kill them the moment you see them. That’s more comfortable for the mind.]

The topic of Jecheon Daeseong’s fur also came up.

[When you meet that necromancer called Drek or whatever, use Jecheon Daeseong’s fur generously.]

[It’s precious, so I should use it sparingly. Manceon Hwau is sufficient.]

[Don’t worry about the fur supply. I’ll pluck it periodically and send it to you.]

[Will Jecheon Daeseong allow it?]

[There’s nothing to allow or not. I already got a definite answer.]

He’ll keep plucking his own fur?

Even now, honestly, it’s unbelievable.

Jecheon Daeseong’s fur that creates clones.

How strong would they be?

[Oh! Can’t you make hair growth medicine? With Earth’s pharmaceutical technology.]

[That would need research. Why? Uh… perhaps?]

[Right. We need to grow it to pluck it. Isn’t aquaculture also the trend in modern fishing?]

[Wow! You’re wicked. Jeoldaedokma wasn’t a false name.]

[What’s so surprising, we’re in the same situation. And you’re a bit soft. Become more vicious.]

Meanwhile, the immortals came running hurriedly.

“Great Hero Tae-ju!”

“We’ve brought return gifts.”

“Though modest, please take at least this.”

“It will be useful if you take it.”

The immortals placed items in front of Tae-ju.

The Swordsman brought an antique-looking treasured sword, Ju-seon brought three large wine jars, Danju Seonin brought a book of talismans, Hwaseong brought various paintings he had drawn, Great Tree Immortal brought wood materials, Iron Seonin brought various hidden weapons, Daseong brought fragrant tea, and others brought Seondo, rare medicinal herbs, demon inner cores, sparkling gems…

All kinds of treasures and precious items.

Could they fit in Infinite Space?

‘It was packed full so there’s no room… Huh?’

Tae-ju was startled.

The remaining space was very large.

‘Infinite Space has grown tremendously.’

More than twice the size of the existing warehouse.

The Shared Warehouse too.

‘Thanks to the Heavenly Peach.’

Still, it would be better to empty it.

[I’ll take out the Earth items in Infinite Space and put them here. Take them later.]

[No, absolutely not! Item exchange should be done later, before going back.]

[Why?]

[It’s dangerous. Do you think the pack of wolves will stay still?]

[What? Where are the wolves?]

Then Danggumak pointed at the immortals with his finger.

‘No way…’

Tae-ju and Danggumak are in a situation where they can’t get close to each other.

If he puts Earth items down nearby, Danggumak can’t immediately pick them up.

He means the immortals might secretly take them, targeting that gap.

‘Come on, immortals wouldn’t steal.’

[I can guess what you’re thinking, and my thoughts are correct. They’re definitely going to take them.]

[Then what about the treasures the immortals brought? Should I store them?]

[No, just leave them be. No immortal would want to take such shabby things.]

Calling the treasures brought by the immortals shabby.

So they’d steal mass-produced Earth goods, but have no interest in the Immortal Realm’s treasures?

The immortals also read the words carved in the air by Manceon Hwau.

“What’s that? Are you suspecting us right now?”

“Wh-who do you take us for, thieves?”

“I’m an ascended person!”

“Ahem! We absolutely won’t steal anything, so don’t worry.”

Tae-ju’s ring vibrated.

It was a lie.

‘…’

Meaning they’d steal if given the chance.

So immortals lie too.

And steal as well.

Now he understood why Danggumak was acting this way.

“If you’re going to suspect someone, suspect that monkey, not us.”

“Right. The monkey is the most dangerous.”

“…Huh? Come to think of it, why is that guy standing there?”

The immortals’ gazes focused on Jecheon Daeseong, who was standing awkwardly next to Danggumak.

“Hehe, that Heavenly Peach thief sure is shameless.”

“How dare he stand there with his eyes wide open in front of Hero Tae-ju.”

“Hero Tae-ju! That monkey is the one who stole the Heavenly Peach.”

Suddenly!

“Watch your words. What do you mean calling Jecheon Daeseong a monkey? A monkey?”

Danggumak stepped forward.

“Moreover, the parties involved have already reached an agreement. It’s not a matter for third parties to interfere with.”

What kind of plot twist was this?

Dok-seon defending the monkey?

“Hm?”

“Huh.”

“…What?”

“Why?”

“Whoa.”

“…”

This left the immortals flustered.

Hadn’t they just been badmouthing the monkey together moments ago?

“And stop making him run errands for free. If you really want to order him around, pay him coins. Immortals really have no brakes!”

It was absurd.

Suddenly?

An unbelievable situation.

But it was visible to the eyes.

Danggumak patting Jecheon Daeseong’s back.

Jecheon Daeseong with a triumphant smile.

His back, which had always been bent in servility, was now straight and upright.

Dok-seon embraced Jecheon Daeseong.

What did this signify?

His status, which had been no different from a slave, had suddenly leaped up to nobility.

That’s when it happened.

Vroom vroom vroom vroom!

An electric mini car racing down the road toward Tae-ju.

A bright girl crouched in the small mini car seat, driving skillfully.

“Nice to meet youuuu! I heard the rumors and came overrrr!”

It was Haemak Seonnyeo, whom he’d only heard about.

“Ah!”

Tae-ju had also heard about her through videos and letters.

‘How fascinating.’

He thought it was an exaggeration.

But just seeing her face already made his heart feel warm.

His heart was melting away.

Magic or sorcery that controlled the mind?

Absolutely not.

If that were the case, the immortals would have already noticed.

It seemed to be an innate gift.

To be unconditionally loved by those around her.

In some ways, a girl more amazing than immortals.

“Hello, Lady Haemak Seonnyeo.”

“Yes! Lord Tae-ju, you look exactly like the face in the portrait. Oh, did you save many people with the flowers I gave you?”

“Thanks to you… I’m always grateful.”

“Hooray! That’s great. Hehe.”

Haemak smiled brightly.

Tae-ju also grinned along with her.

“Hahaha!”

“Hehehe.”

How could he not smile?

“But how did you come to the Immortal Realm, Lord Tae-ju?”

“Huh? You want to know that?”

“Not me, but Sangje told me to ask. He’s curious about how a human from another world came up to the Immortal Realm.”

If it’s Sangje…

Anyway.

“I’m not sure about that either. Why I came here, maybe it’s because I ate the Heavenly Peach.”

“Yes! I understand. Then I’ll be going now.”

Going?

They just met.

“W-wait!”

“Why?”

“At least take this with you.”

Tae-ju took out a dedicated smartphone for Haemak as well.

“This is expensive. I don’t have money.”

“It’s a gift. You sign up like this…”

“Wowwww!”

Haemak Seonnyeo watched Tae-ju operate the smartphone with a bright expression.

Then.

“…Could you give me just one more? I’ll pick lots of flowers for you.”

“Who are you giving it to?”

“Sangje. I think he’d want to have one.”

Was there any reason not to?

He took out 10 phones and handed them all to Haemak.

“…Two would be enough.”

“I want to give them to you. Please accept them.”

“Thank youuuu!”

Who would have thought that giving gifts to someone could be this joyful.

And.

“Hero Tae-ju?”

An elegantly dressed woman appeared carrying a basket full of elixirs.

“Nice to meet you, I’m called Seo Wang-mo.”

Also.

“Oh! Now I finally see your real face. I’m called Yama. Hehehe, is the Black Dark Iron useful? It’s troublesome for us to deal with, so take as much as you want.”

Even the Great King Yama of Hwangcheon-gye.

They all came flocking.

The Immortal Realm bustled with all kinds of people.

But there wasn’t much time left to stay in the Immortal Realm.

The time to return to Earth was slowly approaching.
