Chapter 300.
Whiiiiish!
The billowing black vital energy surged forth with ferocious intensity.
It began to pulverize the Assassin Group as though grinding them to dust.
“Scatter!”
The assassins dispersed in all directions, but the black vital energy pursued them like a living creature.
Craaaaaash!
As the black vital energy already ensnared everything around them, the assassins had no choice but to draw their blades in resistance.
But it was futile.
This darkly stained vital energy appeared like writhing tentacles, yet in truth it was a substance closer to sword force itself.
Whatever it touched was shattered and obliterated in an instant.
“Aaaagh!”
“Krgh!”
The assassins’ screams echoed without end. Those who could still scream were fortunate indeed.
Those whose heads were crushed first by the Dual Righteousness Seal could only tremble without even managing a cry.
Bu Eunseol’s Dual Righteousness Seal, having once more descended into the Demonic Path, was unleashing a power that seemed to have reached the realm of the Great Origin itself.
This was a phenomenon that transcended the bounds of martial theory entirely.
Without fully entering the complete Demonic Path, no matter how formidable one’s cultivation,
such power could never be manifested.
Yet Saixiang was connected to those who had slain her grandfather, Bu Chanyang.
Bu Eunseol’s rage that seemed to split the heavens themselves, her overwhelming killing intent, and her spirit having descended into the Demonic Path combined with the Deletion Seal,
manifesting in a Dual Righteousness Seal that possessed power as though reaching the Great Origin in a single breath—
creating tens of thousands of weapons freely at will.
Ma Cheon Je.
This Grand Master of the Demonic Path, said to have reached the culmination of the Limitless Scripture,
had created a supreme technique through the mere combination of spirit and heart seal, capable of materializing vital energy into any form and unleashing power equivalent to the thunderous force of ten thousand jun—a celestial art beyond convention.
―Aaaaagh!
The screams continued without cessation.
Bu Eunseol had entered Saixiang alone solely to meet privately with Mun Dae Seongsaeng. She had harbored no intention of annihilating this place.
Yet as her spirit descended into the Demonic Path and her rage reached its zenith, combined with boundless killing intent merging with the Deletion Seal,
Bu Eunseol was now displaying a terrible power worthy of being called a second Ma Cheon Je.
Splatter.
As blood erupted from all directions and rained down like a downpour, Bu Eunseol closed her eyes.
“Haah.”
And she drew in deeply the blood-scent that spread in all directions.
Was blood truly this fragrant and sweet? Could it truly calm the spirit so completely…?
Now I understood why the great demons who repeated slaughter drank blood so eagerly.
‘…!’
In that moment, Bu Eunseol felt her spirit had reached a place of grave danger.
If she were to continue endlessly combining killing intent and rage with the Deletion Seal…?
I sensed it instinctively—a descent into a place from which there was no return, even across ten thousand kalpas.
Crack.
As Bu Eunseol suppressed the killing intent and rage, bone-grinding sounds echoed throughout her entire body.
At the same moment, her eyes began to gradually recover their clarity.
Upon sensing the mortal danger, her spirit instinctively retreated from the Demonic Path back to the middle way.
“….”
Within Saixiang, only silence and terror flowed.
Saixiang had not revealed itself to Murim for generations, and elite assassins were positioned like clouds throughout.
A place that could easily repel any faction that dared assault it—and yet she had annihilated it alone?
Thud, thud.
Bu Eunseol, now with eyes open, walked toward Mun Dae Seongsaeng, who stood alone.
“So… you are a demon after all.”
Mun Dae Seongsaeng gritted his teeth.
Bu Eunseol had ground hundreds of elite assassins to dust without lifting a single finger.
And as if that were not enough, she gazed upon the blood spreading in all directions with gleaming eyes?
‘Was it not an entry into the Demonic Path, but rather the Demon itself?’
In his sight, Bu Eunseol appeared not as human, but as a dark demon incarnate.
“A demon?”
Bu Eunseol looked down at Mun Dae Seongsaeng with eyes darkened to pitch black.
“You took an innocent boy as hostage and severed the tendons and ligaments of one who could not resist.”
“….”
“And you cut off both arms, blinded the eyes, and used poison to make the entire body rot from within.”
A single crimson light flashed across Bu Eunseol’s darkened pupils.
“And only by ensuring the breath could not cease immediately… would one deserve to be called a demon, would they not?”
Having finished speaking, she drew closer to Mun Dae Seongsaeng.
“Do not come near.”
He trembled violently.
Death itself held no terror for him.
He was an assassin who had controlled the life and death of countless people until now.
He knew well that the day would come when he too would die miserably.
But Bu Eunseol was not offering him death.
She was about to bestow something far worse than death—profound agony, the ultimate suffering and terror a human could endure.
He could feel it.
“I said do not come near!”
Mun Dae Seongsaeng screamed as if wailing.
“I am not Mun Dae Seongsaeng! The truth is…!”
Shudder.
Yet suddenly, Mun Dae Seongsaeng’s body froze as if encased in ice.
Simultaneously, his head tilted, and he collapsed forward, his forehead striking the ground.
It was as though an invisible hand had shattered his cervical spine, ending his life in an instant.
“How strange.”
Bu Eunseol, observing the scene, fixed an empty gaze straight ahead.
“There is only one martial technique in all of Tianxia that channels qi with such overwhelming force.”
As Bu Eunseol lifted her head, a faint shadow appeared before the village.
It was Mun Dae Seongsaeng, who had collapsed before Bu Eunseol moments earlier.
Remarkably, the Mun Dae Seongsaeng who had been facing Bu Eunseol until now had been a fake.
“Shaolin, then.”
Bu Eunseol shook her head.
Though outwardly concealed through cunning alternative methods,
what the newly emerged Mun Dae Seongsaeng displayed was none other than Shaolin’s Prajna Great Ability.
Having visited Wu Huang’s Secret Vault, Bu Eunseol could discern Righteous Path martial techniques with clarity.
Moreover, had she not directly experienced Buddha Sage Hong Hyeon’s Prajna Great Ability at the Murim Alliance?
She could instantly perceive that the technique displayed by Mun Dae Seongsaeng was a variation of the Prajna Great Ability.
“Remarkable.”
Mun Dae Seongsaeng tilted his head.
“How does the successor of the Demon Hall see through our sect’s secret transmission at a glance?”
Surprisingly, he readily admitted his status as a Shaolin disciple.
Saixiang.
An assassin sect with such a long and storied history, led by a Shaolin disciple?
Was this not even more shocking than discovering that a Shaolin elder was actually a bandit?
“I did not expect you to admit it so easily.”
“It matters not.”
To Bu Eunseol’s words, Mun Dae Seongsaeng replied calmly.
“The dead cannot speak, after all.”
Zing!
In an instant, an invisible sharp force seized Bu Eunseol’s throat.
Boom.
Bu Eunseol swiftly retreated three paces.
“….”
Bu Eunseol regarded Mun Dae Seongsaeng with a slightly startled expression.
Having entered the state of Demonic Descent, Bu Eunseol’s inner energy and martial prowess had surged beyond their normal limits.
To be forced back by a single move from such a state?
“Your martial skill is formidable!”
Mun Dae Seongsaeng exclaimed in admiration, nodding his head.
“At this level, none would object to you joining the Four Gods Seven Kings. I cannot fathom why such strange rumors as ‘Mad Sword’ have spread about you.”
Zing!
Having finished speaking, Mun Dae Seongsaeng unleashed the Prajna Great Ability once more.
But this time, Bu Eunseol stood firm in place. She intended to counter the Prajna Great Ability while remaining rooted.
‘Her confidence is excessive.’
A smile played across the lips of Mun Dae Seongsaeng as he observed her.
The Prajna Great Ability was an intangible force that could neither be grasped nor blocked by hand. Yet to stand idle while knowing full well that it was unfolding?
Whoosh!
At that moment, black true energy erupted from Bu Eunseol’s body in all directions, forming a massive wall.
And the moment the Prajna Great Ability touched that wall, it could no longer exert its power.
She had repelled the Prajna Great Ability’s force using the Wish-Granting Seal.
“This is truly… remarkable.”
Mun Dae Seongsaeng let out an exclamation of admiration.
“To block an intangible force with materialized true energy.”
To spread materialized true energy in all directions and forcibly materialize the formless power of the Prajna Great Ability?
Was this not evidence that Bu Eunseol’s martial arts technique had reached the level of a Grand Master?
“Hmph.”
Mun Dae Seongsaeng released a deep sigh.
“Such an extraordinary prodigy, yet flowing toward the Demonic Path of all things.”
His demeanor suggested he was confident he could claim Bu Eunseol’s life whenever he wished.
“Forgive me.”
He extended his hand with a regretful expression.
Then Bu Eunseol’s black true energy, which had been spread through the Wish-Granting Seal, began to gradually dissipate.
Remarkably, he too possessed the ability to reverse the nature of martial arts, just like Buddha Sage Hong Hyeon.
Flash.
Bu Eunseol was greatly startled and doubled her true energy output.
But there was a fact she did not yet know…
The Wish-Granting Seal that Bu Eunseol had deployed was, through the heart method known as the Severing Fate Secret Formula, a kind of supreme Demonic Path martial art that materialized true energy.
Conversely, the Prajna Great Ability was the maximization of Buddhist law unique to the Buddhist school.
In other words, it possessed power that was fundamentally opposed to the Severing Fate Secret Formula, which drew the spirit into the Demonic Path.
Zing.
As all the true energy created by the Wish-Granting Seal vanished, Bu Eunseol felt as though all strength was draining from her body.
Thud.
Staggering, Bu Eunseol ultimately fell to one knee.
Step, step.
Mun Dae Seongsaeng slowly approached and looked down at Bu Eunseol’s head.
“Farewell.”
Mun Dae Seongsaeng slowly raised his hand, sharpened like a blade, above her head. And just as he was about to sever her neck,
Screech!
Suddenly, a sharp aura poured forth from Bu Eunseol’s right hand.
As Mun Dae Seongsaeng drew near, she unsheathed the Muk Sword and unleashed the Meteor Chasing Moon with all her might.
Zing!
Yet the Muk Sword halted before Mun Dae Seongsaeng’s neck, unable to move further.
The viscous and powerful force of the Prajna Great Ability blocked the blade.
“Did you truly believe such a technique would work?”
Yet Mun Dae Seongsaeng’s expression had hardened rigidly.
From the blocked silent sword, blade-like inner force extended outward and began to bore into my meridians.
‘As expected.’
Bu Eunseol had already tasted the power of Prajna Great Ability from Hong Hyeon.
Because of this, she knew well that the Prajna Great Ability, which transcended martial techniques, could not be perfectly defended against by her own strength.
So she deliberately exposed a weakness and dropped to one knee with a defeated expression.
Just as anticipated, when Mun Dae Seongsaeng went for the throat at close range, she immediately unfolded a swift sword technique with the silent sword.
To force Mun Dae Seongsaeng to materialize the power of Prajna Great Ability and block the sword technique.
Only then could she seize that moment and draw him into a battle of inner force.
‘What is happening?’
Thick beads of sweat poured down Mun Dae Seongsaeng’s forehead.
Bu Eunseol’s inner force was so overwhelming that it stole one’s breath,
but wasn’t the power of Prajna Great Ability, pouring forth in an unceasing stream, gradually being absorbed into his meridians?
‘Absorption technique? No.’
If it were an absorption technique that drained his power, he would have collapsed into depletion in an instant.
But now it flowed naturally, like a stream merging into a river, following its source.
‘Here we go again.’
As Prajna Great Ability entered her meridians, Bu Eunseol’s brow furrowed as well.
In the past, while enduring the bitter methods of the Eighteen Arhats’ elder monks, she had already experienced Shaolin’s inner force naturally converging into her meridians.
‘It must be because the source of our inner force is the same.’
Bu Eunseol believed this phenomenon was simply occurring because their inner force sources were identical.
A deep rumbling sound.
But the Prajna Great Ability flowing into Bu Eunseol’s body was not merely circulating through her meridians as it had before.
The pure and majestic force, like a river, was absorbed into her Qi Sea point, then transformed into a fierce torrent,
surging upward along her Governing Vessel.
Boom!
The Prajna Great Ability that had surged up the Governing Vessel to the back of her head bored into the crown, then
began descending along her Conception Vessel in front.
A violent roar!
The Prajna Great Ability, piercing through the Conception and Governing Vessels with savage force, finally returned to Bu Eunseol’s dantian…
then dispersed and stored throughout her meridians, vanishing without a trace.
“Ugh…”
In stark contrast, Mun Dae Seongsaeng’s skin darkened and his hair began turning white.
As the Prajna Great Ability he had spent a lifetime cultivating dispersed and stored in Bu Eunseol’s meridians, he aged as if all his life force were draining away.
‘I cannot die like this!’
As the Prajna Great Ability vanished, Mun Dae Seongsaeng poured every last ounce of strength into grasping the blade of the silent sword with his bare hand.
Blood flowed as he seized the divine sword’s blade, yet his fingers remained uncut.
He had unleashed Shaolin’s supreme technique, the Dragon Claw Hand.
A sharp tearing sound!
The Dragon Claw Hand immediately tore into Bu Eunseol’s chest.
A heavy impact.
But only a dull thud echoed forth. It failed to pierce through Bu Eunseol’s garments.
Though the strike aimed to perforate her heart, the inner energy within her body had already dissipated without a trace.
In the end, Mun Dae Seongsaeng’s technique became nothing more than an impressive posture.
“Uhhh…”
The aged Mun Dae Seongsaeng, lacking even the strength to open his eyes, simply collapsed while clutching at Bu Eunseol’s collar.
“Mmm.”
Bu Eunseol too surveyed her surroundings with hazy eyes, as though she had just awakened from slumber.
The spiritual essence that could have erupted with killing intent and fury at any moment had suddenly grown serene, and her gaze had transformed into something tranquil and detached.
Was this too the will of heaven?
As the pure Prajna Great Ability was absorbed into her body… the spiritual essence that had been caught between paths subtly shifted toward the Righteous Path.
In other words, she had returned to her original spiritual state from before Seo Jin Ha’s injury.
Because of this, the formidable Female Demon Lord technique that could be called the second Ma Cheon Je could no longer be deployed.
Yet this was instead a stroke of great fortune… though the realization of this fact would come somewhat later.
‘Why is this phenomenon occurring?’
Currently, the Prajna Great Ability that Mun Dae Seongsaeng had poured forth was dispersed and contained within his meridians.
Therefore, while his inner energy showed no change, a tremendous force writhed within his meridian channels.
“Uhhh…”
As Mun Dae Seongsaeng let out a groan as though his breath might cease at any moment, Bu Eunseol gazed down upon him.
And she spoke in a measured voice.
“Answer me.”
Bu Eunseol forcibly raised the collapsed and groaning Mun Dae Seongsaeng, speaking with solemn authority.
“Who used the hidden weapons of Saixiang, poisoned with the Six Corruptions Blood Venom?”
“This sect… protects the Murim…”
Was it due to the loss of his inner energy?
Mun Dae Seongsaeng began to mutter incoherently with vacant eyes.
“I too cast aside my station and returned to the secular world… to save countless sentient beings…”
Bu Eunseol had no choice but to inject inner energy into his life gate point.
“Speak.”
“….”
“One who mastered the Celestial Yoga Technique, favors the Six Corruptions Blood Venom, and is versed in Demonic Path swordsmanship. Who is this person?”
“Celestial Yoga Technique… Six Corruptions Blood Venom…”
A strange light flickered in the eyes of the dying Mun Dae Seongsaeng.
“You seek the one who took the Blood Essence Poison Needle…”
“Who is this person?”
As Bu Eunseol asked urgently, from the lips of the expiring Mun Dae Seongsaeng came but a single word.
“Star…”
And then he grew cold and rigid.
“Star? What does that mean!”
Bu Eunseol cried out loudly, but
Thud.
Mun Dae Seongsaeng’s eyes flew wide open as all life drained from his body, and he breathed his last.
Bu Eunseol’s vision went dark.
A star?
Was the one who killed her grandfather a celestial body? Or was it a fortune teller who read the stars?
Crash!
Consumed by rage, Bu Eunseol slammed her fist hard against the ground.
She had finally found Saixiang. She had believed she had captured all the threads leading to the mastermind…
Yet Saixiang was not the body itself—merely a subordinate, a pawn.
A low growl escaped her throat.
Bu Eunseol, her head bowed, bit her lip.
“To have come this far and still not find Hyung Su!”
She had been certain that coming to Saixiang would yield at least some clue about Hyung Su.
That person had used Saixiang’s secret techniques, so at the very least, the master of Saixiang would know who he was.
But Mun Dae Seongsaeng had met a futile death in their internal energy clash.
In the end, she could not find the one who had killed her grandfather.
“Mun Dae Seongsaeng.”
Bu Eunseol bit her lip.
Suddenly, one fact surfaced in her mind.
“Shaolin.”
