Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 156
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Tang Baikho and Tang Pae’s expressions hardened seriously.
If someone else had said such things, they would have scolded them not to joke around, but these were words spoken by Jeok Wigang.
To think there were a hundred monsters like the Four Heavenly Demon Gods who once shook the entire Martial World.
It was a chilling story.
“W-wait! If they’re such a powerful force, why did they only send the Four Heavenly Demon Gods to the Central Plains and remain quiet until now?”
“You can think of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods as intelligence agents who came out to gather information about the Central Plains.”
“So you’re saying the Martial World was almost conquered by guys who weren’t even an advance force, but simply came out to gather information?”
“Yes.”
“Hah…”
Tang Baikho had directly experienced the Four Heavenly Demon Gods.
In particular, he clearly remembered the Poison Life Demon God, who handled poison even better than himself.
Though he lost in their confrontation, he barely managed to survive, and after that, he polished his poison arts with the sole determination to surpass the Poison Life Demon God.
That’s how Tang Baikho became one of the One Emperor Eight Kings.
But to think the person he had set as his goal was merely a scout.
It was shocking.
“The Martial World that couldn’t even stop the Four Heavenly Demon Gods… what’s the reason that powerful force left it alone? Was it too weak to be worth conquering?”
“No. It’s not that, but there seems to be some circumstances. I don’t have much detailed information, so I can’t know for certain either.”
“Hmm. Then you’re saying they could come attacking as early as tomorrow?”
“Well, that’s possible.”
“But how did you come to know this?”
“I caught several Hundred Demon Heaven guys who came to the Central Plains. This is information I obtained from them.”
“Several? It seems it wasn’t just one or two.”
“That’s right. There are still some I haven’t discovered yet.”
“You haven’t discovered them?”
“They seem to be scattered throughout the Central Plains and active, but I don’t know the exact number.”
“They’re already active? Isn’t that really a big problem?”
“Seeing that there haven’t been any particular movements so far, it seems like things are still okay for now.”
“Hmm…”
“It will be difficult to deal with them using poison. From what I’ve seen, quite a few of them specialize in using poison, and poison doesn’t seem to inflict much fatal damage on them.”
At the words that they couldn’t be dealt with using poison, Tang Baikho and Tang Pae’s expressions hardened seriously.
“Then when those guys come into the world, our Tang Family won’t be safe.”
“We need to strengthen our martial arts.”
“Huh? This is already strengthened. How can we strengthen it further from here?”
“This region where the Tang Family is located is overflowing with poison. Couldn’t you convert that into internal energy?”
“I am doing that. However, the problem is that there are limits. If the poison is too strong, the pain makes it impossible to concentrate on qi circulation and breathing, and if something goes wrong, you could fall into qi deviation or die from poisoning. So I can’t use just any poison, and the poisons I can use have weak toxicity, so it takes forever to build internal power.”
“Yet you managed to rise to the position of One Emperor Eight Kings?”
“It was possible by growing my internal energy with elixirs made by properly combining poison and antidotes.”
“Then you can just keep doing that.”
“That… costs a lot of money.”
“Then would you try it if I told you a method that doesn’t cost money?”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Tang Baikho and Tang Pae looked at Jeok Wigang with interested expressions.
“Do, do you know such a method?”
“I know such a heart method.”
Since Ye Yahyeon was converting poison into internal energy for use, he was well versed in related heart methods.
If he slightly modified it to make it usable by humans, the Tang Family could use it sufficiently.
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Tang Baikho spoke with an anxious expression.
“Co, could you teach it to us? If you do that for us, I’ll do anything you want.”
“It’s fine. When Baekma Heaven comes to the Central Plains later, just make sure to stop them well.”
“That’s only natural! If those bastards come, I’ll fight them with my life on the line!”
“That’s enough.”
Tang Baikho and Tang Pae looked at Jeok Wigang with reverent expressions.
His character was different.
If it had been them, they would have tried to gain something by using this.
Their lives up until now felt shameful.
“The name of the heart method is Ten Thousand Poisons Return to Origin Heart Method.”
“Are you teaching it to us right now?”
“I’ll write it down in a book and teach you.”
“To go that far…”
The two people were moved.
They immediately told someone to bring empty books.
“Here, here it is. If you need anything, I’ll be waiting outside, so please call me anytime.”
“I will also help.”
The Tang Family’s Grand Elder and Family Head stepped forward, offering to attend to Jeok Wigang.
Jeok Wigang smiled and placed his palm on the empty book, then muttered something.
“Mind-thought seal formation, heart’s desire manifests in writing, writing without brush, true energy carves text.”
I tilted my head wondering what that was supposed to mean when suddenly the book began to glow brightly.
I watched the book wondering what was happening, and soon the light disappeared.
I picked up the book that had been glowing and held it out to Tang Baikho.
Tang Baikho asked with a bewildered expression.
“What is it?”
“Please take it. It’s the Ten Thousand Poisons Return to Origin Heart Method.”
“Huh? Are you playing a joke on me? This is just an empty book, isn’t it? I can’t stand being made fun of for being old.”
“It really is the Ten Thousand Poisons Return to Origin Heart Method. Please open it.”
Tang Baikho frowned.
To mock the world’s Ten Thousand Poison King like this.
If it had been anyone else, he would have made them drink a bowl of poison, but since Jeok Wigang was strong, he decided to endure it and play along.
“Thank you. For giving me such a precious thing.”
Tang Baikho spoke playfully as he opened the book.
“Huh?”
Tang Baikho was startled with a sound of his breath catching.
“Wh-what is this?”
“As I told you. It’s the Ten Thousand Poisons Return to Origin Heart Method.”
The reason Tang Baikho was surprised was because he thought it was an empty book, but inside it was filled with writing.
“B-but it was definitely an empty book?”
“I transferred the contents from my mind to the book using magic arts.”
“Is that possible with magic arts?”
“It’s possible. The inscriptions are a bit complex so it gives me a headache, but it’s still better than writing everything out by hand.”
Tang Baikho and Tang Pae still seemed unable to believe it as they continuously examined the book’s contents.
The book’s contents were even more shocking.
“To think such a method existed!”
“If this works as written, our Tang family’s long-cherished wish will be fulfilled. Father.”
“Yes! As you say, our long-cherished wish will be fulfilled.”
Tang Baikho looked at Jeok Wigang and spoke.
“Are you really giving this precious thing to us?”
When Jeok Wigang nodded, Tang Baikho’s eyes glistened with tears as if overwhelmed with emotion.
The Tang Family didn’t use poison because they liked it.
Even when people pointed fingers and cursed at them, saying that families using poison should be expelled from the orthodox sects, they stubbornly continued using poison.
The reason was more due to geographical influence.
The location where the Sichuan Tang Family was situated was a region abundant with poisonous insects and toxic plants.
That place was the source of deadly poison, to the extent that there was a saying “Southern insects, Northern snakes.”
Therefore, for the Tang Family people to survive, they had to know about poison more than anything else, and naturally came to handle poison.
Children born and raised in this place naturally developed resistance to poison.
However, the problem began after developing such resistance.
Usually, the basic energy that powerful martial arts possess is fire energy or lightning energy.
Lightning energy is extremely rare and difficult to learn, so excluding that, fire energy is overwhelming, but the problem was that this fire energy and poison energy are incompatible.
If one learned martial arts with fire energy, bodies already adapted to poison couldn’t endure it.
So for them to become strong, they had to learn martial arts only with poison energy, which was extraordinarily difficult.
Since Jeok Wigang had solved this problem that was close to being unsolvable in one stroke, he was a benefactor to the Tang Family.
“You are a benefactor to our Tang Family.”
If Tang Un became strong with this heart method?
The strongest martial artist in Tang Family history would be born.
The unfortunate thing was that it happened to be during the time when Jeok Wigang existed.
Well, what if it couldn’t be done now.
Now that they had a reliable heart method, another opportunity would come later.
“Say anything. I’ll do everything I can.”
“That’s right. Our Tang Family always repays favors received.”
At the words that favors received are always repaid, Jeok Wigang smiled coldly and said.
“Favors are repaid twofold, right?”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Tang Baikho and Tang Pae nodded.
But they flinched at the following words.
“And grudges are repaid tenfold.”
“Th-that’s right. You are an exception.”
“Then everything has been repaid?”
“What are you saying. We were the ones at fault, so where is there a grudge. Rather, we’re the ones in debt.”
“If you think that way, then it’s fine.”
“I’ll work hard to help the Jinmu Trading Company establish itself in Sichuan territory.”
“Will it be alright?”
“Of course! Aren’t we brother trading companies?”
“I understand. Then, as we discussed, we’ll only sell weapons.”
“You can sell everything.”
At Tang Baikho’s words, Jeok Wigang smiled menacingly and asked.
“Really? These are items I make, will that be alright?”
“Huh? Y-you make them yourself?”
“Yes. Can you handle it?”
“Ah, no. If they’re items you make… let me see them!”
“See? That’s why I said I’d only sell weapons.”
“Are those weapons also made by you?”
“Mostly?”
“W-we’ll buy them too! Make your first deal in Sichuan with us.”
“Really? From what I heard, the Tang Family specializes in hidden weapons and produces them internally. Don’t you also produce other weapons internally?”
“Well, that’s true. But weapons made by you are different. I really want to see them once.”
Tang Baikho’s expression was full of anticipation.
“Don’t expect too much. I happen to have brought some items to sell, so I’ll show you.”
“Alright.”
Snap-.
When Jeok Wigang flicked his finger, the air rippled and soon a person appeared and prostrated on the ground.
Tang Baikho was startled by this.
He hadn’t even sensed their appearance.
If that person had appeared behind him?
He would have been helpless.
Goosebumps rose on his skin.
“Go and bring the weapon box.”
“Yes!”
With the reply, the shadow disappeared in an instant.
Tang Baikho looked around frantically.
Then he asked Jeok Wigang.
“W-who was that person just now?”
“My younger brother and subordinate.”
“Younger Brother?”
“Yes.”
“He looks older though?”
“I heard the stronger person becomes the older brother?”
“Well, that’s…”
He was about to agree but closed his mouth.
If he did that, he’d have to call Jeok Wigang older brother too.
Reading Tang Baikho’s expression, Jeok Wigang chuckled and reassured him.
“Don’t worry. I made him my younger brother because of his special circumstances. I have absolutely no intention of making you my younger brother, elder.”
“Is, is that so? Phew. I was worried I’d get an older brother young enough to be my grandson.”
“That guy isn’t from the Central Plains.”
“Hm? What do you mean by that?”
While Tang Baikho was asking back, a figure appeared again carrying a box.
“Muryang. Show your true appearance.”
“Yes, Dae-hyeong.”
Jin Muryang’s face began to ripple and soon changed into a terrifying face.
Seeing that face, Tang Baikho was horrified and trembled violently.
“You, you are! The Gwi, Gwimyeol Shin Ma!”
“It’s been a while. We meet again after seeing each other at Unryong Gorge.”
“Since you know about Unryong Gorge, it’s really true!”
