Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 160
The sounds of training from the Taoists who had received new swords, and the torches that brightly illuminated their training ground, turned the Qingcheng Sect into a city that never sleeps.
The Taoists were swinging their swords in a state of selfless absorption, not even knowing they were tired.
The Taoists who were most excitedly swinging their swords were the first-generation disciples of the Qingcheng Sect, the Jin generation.
Until now, they hadn’t been in a very good mood having to train with dulled swords, but now it was different.
They didn’t want to let go of this sensation that fit perfectly in their hands all night long.
The Yun generation Elders watched this scene with satisfaction.
“Hehehe. How many years has it been since I’ve seen the main mountain moving so vibrantly?”
“How many years? This is the first time I’ve seen it.”
“What are you saying? There was a time when they worked that hard.”
“There were times when they worked hard, but they’ve never enjoyed it like that even once.”
At Jeogun’s words, Jayun nodded his head.
“You’re right. Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve seen the children training with such joyful faces.”
“Since they’re enjoying their training, the children’s skills will improve by leaps and bounds. This is all thanks to the care of the Taiqing True Lord.”
“Hey! What are you talking about? The Taiqing True Lord has also looked after us, but the biggest reason is thanks to Trading Company Leader Jeok, isn’t it?”
“That’s also true. But don’t you see Trading Company Leader Jeok?”
“He’s having a private meeting with the Sect Leader.”
“Amazing. To think that at his age, he’s already at the level of having private meetings with the head of a sect.”
“He’s the Master Craftsman who made these weapons. Would he be an ordinary person?”
Then Seonun, who had been quietly standing, ran out.
“Where are you going!”
“Argh! I can’t stand it anymore. I’m going to train too!”
At Seonun’s words, Myeongun also ran out.
“I can’t stand it either.”
When the two ran out, Jayun and Jeogun, who had been looking at each other, grinned and moved without needing to say who would go first.
The desire to quickly swing their swords was the same for them too.
They had just been holding back because of their dignity.
***
Cheongseong Sect’s Musimjeon Hall.
Jeok Wigang was there, savoring and drinking tea that Baegun had personally brewed for him.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, the Cheongseong Sect can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”
“It’s all because of my connection with the Chief Escort.”
“Hehehe. That’s right. Fate is such a mysterious thing.”
“But how did the Cheongseong Sect’s finances become so dire?”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Baegun let out a groan and opened his mouth.
“Hmm, it’s all because of my lack of virtue.”
“Pardon?”
“Because of my lack of virtue, Taecheong Jinggun became angry. That’s why he shook the Azure Dragon Meridian to warn me.”
“What is the Azure Dragon Meridian?”
“Beneath this mountain flows one of the Four Great Energy Meridians that have been passed down since ancient times. That energy meridian is called the Azure Dragon Meridian. Our Cheongseong Sect has learned martial arts and cultivated internal energy based on the energy of that Azure Dragon Meridian.”
“Has the Azure Dragon Meridian ever shaken before?”
At Jeok Wigang’s question, Baegun showed a sorrowful expression.
“No, never. I’m the first.”
That’s what made it even more troubling.
Something that had never happened before occurred while he was the sect leader.
He blamed himself, thinking it all happened because of his lack of virtue.
However, Jeok Wigang sensed something strange.
Seeing Jeok Wigang continuously tilting his head in confusion, Baegun asked.
“Can you feel it too? The instability of the Azure Dragon Meridian’s energy?”
“Yes. It feels somewhat unnatural.”
“Unnatural?”
“Yes. The energy is particularly twisted in one specific place.”
“In one place?”
“I think we should go check that place.”
“Since it’s late tonight, let’s go together tomorrow.”
***
The next day.
As soon as dawn broke, Baegun moved with Jeok Wigang toward the place where the energy was said to be twisted.
Following Jeok Wigang, he felt puzzled.
How could he know where that place with twisted energy was?
Wasn’t this his first visit to Cheongseong Mountain yesterday?
Even he, who had felt the energy of Cheongseong Mountain for a long time, could only sense that the Azure Dragon Vein’s energy had been disturbed.
Jeok Wigang had precisely found the location where that energy had been twisted.
“Here it is.”
When they arrived at the place where the energy had been twisted, a large, sinister-looking stake was driven into the ground there.
“Wh-what is that thing?”
A pillar made of black iron, so thick that even wrapping both arms around it wouldn’t be enough to encircle it.
Through the cracks where it was driven into the ground, blue energy continuously flowed out like blood and scattered into the air.
Around the stake, a terrible scene unfolded where living creatures had withered and died, their vitality completely drained.
The Azure Dragon Vein’s energy was violently fluctuating as if in agony.
“Someone forcibly drove a stake in to cut off the Azure Dragon Vein’s energy. From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem to be very old.”
“Re-recently the Azure Dragon Vein has been fluctuating.”
“Then the disturbance must have occurred when someone was driving in the stake.”
Baekun’s expression turned frightening.
Who dared to commit such an outrageous act against the sacred Azure Dragon Vein?
The moment the enraged Baekun reached out his hand to pull out the stake.
A powerful energy burst forth and repelled Baekun.
“Kugh!”
“Be careful. The enraged Azure Dragon Vein’s energy is attacking everything that approaches.”
“It’s blocking the Azure Dragon Vein’s energy from approaching? Th-then how can we pull that thing out?”
“I can pull it out, can’t I?”
“Wh-what do you mean? The Azure Dragon Vein’s energy is nature itself. It’s not an energy you can handle.”
“Well, let me try once.”
“Dangerous!”
It was too late to stop him.
Jeok Wigang was already reaching his hand toward the stake.
Baekun quickly moved behind Jeok Wigang.
To catch Jeok Wigang when he got repelled so he wouldn’t get hurt.
“Huh?”
But something surprising happened.
Even though he reached his hand toward the stake, Jeok Wigang wasn’t pushed back.
It wasn’t that the energy had disappeared either.
It was fluctuating even more powerfully than when he had approached it.
Crack-.
When Jeok Wigang, who had grasped the stake, applied just a little force.
Thud thud thud-.
It was pulled out in an instant.
Rumble rumble rumble-.
As the stake was pulled out, the earth began to shake, and blue energy erupted from where it had been removed, shooting up like a volcano.
If that hole wasn’t blocked, all the energy would leak out and the Azure Dragon Vein would quickly deteriorate.
If that happened, Mount Qingcheng would transform into a mountain of death.
Jeok Wigang hurriedly recited an incantation.
“Heaven Energy Flow, Earth Energy Gathering, Five Elements Rebirth, All Things Return to Order.”
The energy of the Five Elements flowed from Jeok Wigang’s fingertips, forming a ring.
When he fitted the ring into the hole, a clear beam of light descended from the sky and blue-green waves surged up from beneath the ground.
When the two energies collided, the parched earth became moist and the withered life forms around them took on a green hue and sprouted new buds.
At the same time, the gaping hole was completely filled as if it had never been there.
The turbulent energy instantly stabilized and the surroundings became peaceful.
“Whew.”
Jeok Wigang regulated his breathing, stood up from his position, and looked at Baegun.
Baegun looked at Jeok Wigang with an expression of shock.
Soon he performed a cupped fist salute and bowed deeply at the waist.
“This unworthy disciple pays respects to the Supreme Pure Lord!”
He must be seeing things because he’s so shocked.
“Why are you doing that? It’s me. Jeok Wigang.”
“Are, are you truly not the Supreme Pure Lord?”
“I am not.”
“Then, then what was that spectacle I witnessed?”
“I restored it to its original state using magic arts.”
“Magic arts?”
“Yes. Since you cultivate the Way, don’t you know this well?”
“I know magic arts well, but… I’ve never heard of or seen such tremendous magic arts.”
“I made a slight modification.”
This was even more absurd.
A slight modification created such a tremendous spectacle?
No, what was even more shocking was how he casually withstood the tremendous energy leaking from the Azure Dragon Vein while pulling out the stake.
He himself couldn’t endure it and was blown away, yet Jeok Wigang approached it as if nothing happened.
Didn’t that mean Jeok Wigang was stronger than himself?
A Master Craftsman who forged tremendous Famous Swords one by one, a Trading Company Leader responsible for a trading company at a young age, plus ridiculous divine strength and ridiculous Magic Arts.
Who would think this was human?
Moreover, hadn’t he appeared like a savior when the Qingcheng Sect was in its most difficult time and solved their problems?
If this wasn’t Taiqing Zhenjun, then who could be Taiqing Zhenjun?
Baiyu asked no more questions.
It was something he could just think about in his heart.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, Mount Qingcheng has been revived. How can we ever repay this kindness?”
“It’s not over yet.”
“What do you mean?”
“We need to find That Guy who drove in that stake.”
“Would That Guy be in This Place?”
“He would be. Wouldn’t he need to see with his own eyes? Mount Qingcheng withering away, that is.”
“That’s right. Then you think That Guy will come back Here?”
“Since the twisted energy has been corrected, he’ll sense something strange and come running immediately.”
As soon as Jeok Wigang finished speaking, Baiyu turned with a frightening expression and looked in one direction.
“In all my life, this is the first time I’ve encountered such sinister and evil energy. That Guy seems to be the culprit.”
“I think so too.”
“Stay Here. I’ll handle That Guy.”
Should he stop him?
No.
He’d have to experience it firsthand to understand the danger.
Jeok Wigang assessed the energy of the one now approaching.
Hundred Demon Heaven.
In the distance, That Guy’s form became visible.
He had a gaunt frame and glass-like transparent eyes.
Within those transparent eyes, dark energy was rippling, surging roughly as if in anger.
Over his dirt-stained robes, rotted ochre-colored Talismans were layered like Training Armor and fluttered wildly in the wind.
“Who are you! How dare you interfere with my work!”
He was charging forward while shouting in a voice that sounded ominous just to hear.
Baek Un stepped forward to block his path.
Chang-!
He drew the sword he had received from Jeok Wigang and pointed it while shouting.
“You’re the one who drove stakes into the Azure Dragon Vein!”
“Kekeke. Now I see you’re a Taoist from the Cheongseong Sect! You discovered it well!”
“It really is you!”
Baek Un, enraged at the enemy who readily admitted it, charged forward.
“I won’t let you get away with this!”
A magnificent blue energy surged from Baek Un’s sword.
It was the Azure Dragon Primordial Sword technique that only the Cheongseong Sect leader and his successor could learn.
“Water Connecting Ten Thousand Streams!”
Baek Un’s sword energy spread out like waves.
The enemy stopped and laughed pleasantly while reaching his hand toward the ground.
“Kekeke. Let me see the skills of this Cheongseong Taoist.”
Drrrrrk-.
Something shot up from the ground and blocked Baek Un’s sword.
Clang-!
Baek Un was horrified when he confirmed the identity of what had blocked his sword.
“Wh-what! A corpse?”
What had blocked Baek Un’s sword was a skeleton with no flesh visible at all.
Rattle- rattle-.
It was moving while making the sound of bones clashing together.
“You bastard! You’re one who practices necromancy forbidden by the Martial World! For the peace of the Martial World, I will definitely eliminate you!”
“Kekeke. Try it if you can. Today hell will cover the sky of Cheongseong.”
“Do you think I’ll let that happen! Azure Dragon Soul!”
Sword light burst forth as a blue dragon soared into the sky and coiled around the skulls.
Kwakwakwakwang-.
The shattered skull fragments scattered in all directions.
However, the enemy smiled with an expression that showed this was nothing significant and flicked his finger.
Kukung-!
A black object fell in front of the charging Baegun.
Looking closely, it was a coffin.
Kkeiiik-.
The coffin opened and something wearing official robes emerged from inside.
It was none other than.
“A jiangshi!”
