Chapter 200. Sanwol…

 

 

Ten days had passed.

Internal energy that began in the dantian circulated through his limbs and entire body.

Down to each thin meridian.

‘Is this what it feels like?’

Dan Mok Un-rae felt ecstasy at this new sensation.

A feeling different from the solid and profound sensation of the Three Talents Heart Method.

When the internal energy of the Void Vast Heart Formula passed through, even his blood meridians seemed to become more solid.

“Whoa. This is incredible. Such a majestic and grand flow.”

Dan Mok Un-rae muttered as he uncrossed his legs and stood up.

Dan Mok Un-rae’s Void Vast Heart Formula was now beginning to settle into place. To the extent that he could feel the flow of internal energy himself and be amazed by it.

The foundation he had built with the Three Talents Heart Method during this time had been of great help.

The most basic yet most stable mind technique.

It had great efficacy in building the foundation for learning other mind techniques as well.

Ha Mu-baek, who had been quietly watching this scene, spoke up.

“Good. Now let’s move on to sword techniques.”

At those words, Dan Mok Un-rae’s eyes filled with anticipation.

Finally, a new sword technique.

“It’s going to be quite difficult.”

Ha Mu-baek’s words, reading that expectation.

Those words were true.

Wasn’t it revealed in the sword technique’s name?

Eighty-one forms.

A sword technique composed of as many as eighty-one forms.

It couldn’t even be compared to the Three Talents Sword Technique, which had only three or four forms in total.

“Yes!”

Dan Mok Un-rae answered with a voice full of determination.

“Actually, it would be better to learn the Galaxy Illusion Sword Technique first before moving on to this…”

Ha Mu-baek gazed intently at Dan Mok Un-rae.

“Well, if it’s you, you’ll manage to pull it off somehow even if we jump straight to it.”

Dan Mok Un-rae possessed exceptional talent.

He even had the talent to recognize the connecting parts between forms, those gaps.

And what about his persistence and effort?

Because he was someone with a clear goal consciousness of becoming stronger.

Ha Mu-baek thought it would be fine to start directly with the Eighty-One Style Galaxy Phantom Sword Technique.

He also had experience fighting against upper-tier sword techniques with the Three Talents Sword Technique.

“Then nine forms per day. I’ll teach you over nine days.”

It was a murderous schedule.

Would he even properly learn one form per day?

For supreme upper-tier sword techniques like the Eighty-One Style Galaxy Phantom Sword Technique, properly learning just one form per day would earn praise as tremendous talent.

And yet, nine forms per day for such a technique.

Nevertheless, Dan Mok Un-rae simply made his eyes shine.

 

***

 

“It’s done.”

Three old men with haggard appearances made their eyes shine.

Dang Ji-yeon and Gongsun Bi-yeon also made their eyes shine with thoroughly exhausted expressions.

Gongsun Bi-yeon had personally rushed over with the medicinal ingredients requested from Seonyu Valley.

And the poison from the Tang Family Territory had arrived yesterday.

Since then, the five people had experimented with countless combinations without rest until now.

And the results they produced.

There were three.

The gazes of Dang Ja-cheong and Gongsun Mu-oe turned toward Wi Ji-gun.

It was natural.

Among them, Wi Ji-gun was the only one who could actually test those things on his body and remain fine.

Testing by directly consuming the antidote to the poison they had made.

It was simple and crude work.

But without this, there was no way to verify the efficacy.

Wi Ji-gun consumed the first antidote.

Since it was powder medicine, it quickly dissolved and went down his throat.

Wi Ji-gun quietly closed his eyes and contemplated his interior.

Dang Ja-cheong and Gongsun Mu-oe watched Wi Ji-gun with shining eyes.

One step behind.

Dang Ji-yeon and Gongsun Bi-yeon also watched him with haggard appearances, fully tense.

The antidote dissolved and was absorbed, then an energy appeared and immediately began circulating through his blood meridians.

It was demonic energy.

To be precise, it was poison, not an antidote.

It moved through Wi Ji-gun’s blood meridians.

Wi Ji-gun suppressed his internal energy as much as possible.

People without internal energy would be taking this.

He had to observe how it reacted in a state without internal energy.

After one moment like that.

The Innate True Energy seated deep within Wi Ji-gun’s body stirred in response.

It couldn’t just leave the weak demonic energy that continued to circulate inside his body.

The Innate True Energy that arose instantaneously devoured the demonic energy completely.

Wi Ji-gun opened his eyes and nodded.

“The Innate True Energy reacted for now.”

At those words, joy appeared on the faces of Dang Ja-cheong, Gongsun Mu-oe, as well as Dang Ji-yeon and Gongsun Bi-yeon.

“Not yet.”

However, Dang Ja-cheong, who soon regained his composure, spoke.

“That’s right. Now we need to confirm whether the Innate True Energy reacts to Jamhon Poison.”

Gongsun Mu-oe chimed in agreement.

Wi Ji-gun immediately consumed the Jamhon Poison.

And after a moment, he shook his head.

He had waited for about half a moment, but there was no reaction whatsoever.

By this time, someone poisoned with Jamhon Poison would have already become a Jiangshi and then some.

Wi Ji-gun immediately circulated his internal energy to burn away the Jamhon Poison.

He took the second antidote.

The result was the same.

The Innate True Energy reacted to the antidote but did not react to the Jamhon Poison.

“This is the last one.”

The five people looked at the last remaining antidote with tense gazes.

If even this failed?

Then they would have to start mixing again.

In fact, they hadn’t expected the antidote to be created this easily.

Since they had made it for now, the five people had expectations, but they were also prepared to make it again at any time.

Wi Ji-gun took the antidote.

As expected, the Innate True Energy reacted.

But the reaction was a little different. Perhaps because it was already the third time.

The Innate True Energy’s reaction was somewhat sensitive.

“Hmm.”

Wi Ji-gun tilted his head and took the Jamhon Poison.

Then his eyes widened.

The moment he felt the Jamhon Poison enter his body, the Innate True Energy appeared and attacked the Jamhon Poison.

To be precise, it attacked the Demonic Energy contained in the Jamhon Poison, and when the Demonic Energy disappeared, the Jamhon Poison also scattered into Blood Poison Art and poison, then soon vanished.

“It worked.”

A short statement.

However, all kinds of emotions were contained in those words.

The four people looked at each other.

It was a success.

Dang Ji-yeon and Gongsun Bi-yeon looked as if they would burst into cheers at any moment.

Especially Dang Ji-yeon.

Wasn’t she the one among them who had encountered the Jamhon Poison from the very beginning?

“Wait. Not yet.”

Gongsun Mu-oe calmed those who were about to get excited.

“Someone else needs to try taking only this antidote.”

That was right.

Wi Ji-gun had taken three different antidotes consecutively.

There was no way there wouldn’t be interference between those antidotes.

Since Wi Ji-gun had first taken the antidote and proven there was no great danger.

Now it was time to experiment with only the antidote that had shown effects.

Gongsun Mu-oe didn’t hesitate and took that antidote.

Then he suppressed his Internal Energy, and the Innate True Energy reacted.

When he took the Jamhon Poison.

Gongsun Mu-oe also widened his eyes.

“It’s a success.”

At his words, Dang Ji-yeon and Gongsun Bi-yeon finally burst into cheers.

“We did it!!”

“Wow!!”

Smiles also filled the faces of Dang Ja-cheong, Gongsun Mu-oe, and Wi Ji-gun.

They had overcome the biggest mountain.

“Now we need to check how long this antidote’s effects last. You should take it too.”

At Dang Ja-cheong’s words, Dang Ji-yeon and Gongsun Bi-yeon took the antidote.

And Dang Ja-cheong as well.

Now they had to take the Jamhon Poison daily and verify its reactions.

“At least a month. It would be good if it lasted that long.”

Gongsun Mu-oe muttered.

Dang Ja-cheong also nodded.

From the beginning, there was no justification to give this antidote to ordinary people.

This antidote would reveal itself to the world after the Blood Cult bastards released the Jamhon Poison and Sik Gang-si appeared.

The initial victims were unavoidable.

No matter how much they explained beforehand and said people should take it, there would be no one who would rashly step forward.

Even if they took the antidote after Sik Gang-si appeared and gained resistance to the Jamhon Poison for just one month.

Being able to face the Blood Cult without worrying about the Jamhon Poison would be a tremendous advantage.

 

***

 

Gae Se-ak was frustrated.

He had wanted to run out immediately because even his original place was suffocating.

But now he had hidden deeper inside.

He felt like he would suffocate immediately.

“To think the Blood Cult that once ruled All Under Heaven has come to this.”

Gae Se-ak muttered as if displeased.

He had few memories of the era when they ruled All Under Heaven.

Rather, only the memories after hiding following their crushing defeat were clear.

Until now, he had no particular interest in the Blood Cult’s revival.

He just wanted to escape this detestable place.

But instead, he had hidden even deeper.

While he was still indifferent to the Blood Cult’s revival, a change had occurred.

“It’s because we lack power.”

The conclusion Gae Se-ak reached.

Because they lacked the power to overwhelm that monster called Ha Mu-baek, the Great Blood Cult had fallen and they were hiding like this.

“I need power.”

For the first time, Gae Se-ak personally picked up the Blood Cult’s secret manuals.

As the former Sect Leader’s grandson, he could see all the remaining precious secret manuals.

He just hadn’t cared because he wasn’t interested.

The current situation of digging underground had awakened a longing for power in him.

The first secret manual he picked up.

Heaven-Defying Blood Flow Destruction Blood Art.

It was the martial art at the pinnacle of Blood Arts that only the Blood Cult Sect Leader could learn.

Gae Se-ak indifferently read and learned the manual.

While learning it for several days.

His chest began to feel tight.

“In the end, it’s the martial art of a loser…”

His grandfather had also learned this, but was ultimately defeated by Ha Mu-baek.

The more he learned the martial art, the more this thought crept up, and Gae Se-ak gradually lost motivation.

Another desire took its place.

“I need stronger martial arts.”

His longing for strength remained the same.

The Heaven-Defying Blood Flow Destruction Blood Art just couldn’t fulfill it.

The moment desire dominated his entire body.

The Internal Energy in his Dantian writhed and moved.

Heaven-Defying Blood Flow Destruction Blood Art.

It began moving on its own in response to Gae Se-ak’s desire.

Gae Se-ak wasn’t even aware of this.

The combination of desire and Blood Art.

That moved Gae Se-ak.

Thud. Thud.

Gae Se-ak left his room and began walking.

Downward.

Downward.

From the underground he so despised to an even deeper place.

Gae Se-ak walked toward a place filled only with thick darkness.

 

***

 

Heaven-Defying Blood Flow World-Collapsing Great Method.

In a moment of desperation, Gae Hong-cheon, the leader of the Blood Cult, unleashed this great method that burned his life force to explode with his final potential.

It was a hidden great method of the Heaven-Defying Blood Flow Destruction Blood Art.

Having instantly recovered all his strength, his single strike sent Jeongcheon Alliance Leader So Hwi-ung’s blade flying helplessly.

So Hwi-ung was left completely defenseless under Gae Hong-cheon’s blade momentum.

Now it was his turn to face a moment of desperation.

So Hwi-ung gritted his teeth as he drew up internal energy into both hands.

Then.

Someone stepped in front of So Hwi-ung.

Among the countless suicide squads deployed to kill the Blood Cult leader, the only person still intact besides So Hwi-ung.

The only person from the Hocheon Corps, So Hwi-ung’s personal guard unit, who could still move – Hocheon Corps Leader Ha Mu-baek.

He too was exhausted, but he had just enough strength left to unleash one final deadly technique.

Infinite Adaptable Eight Absolute Sword Technique.

Its final secret art.

Something he had learned but never used before.

For the first time, he used the secret art that melded the Eight Severance into a single sword strike.

Putting all his remaining strength into it.

The deadly technique unleashed from Ha Mu-baek’s hand pierced straight through Gae Hong-cheon’s heart.

“Urgh. How frustrating. The Blood Demon’s dominion over all under heaven was right before my eyes… Kuk kuk. But you won’t be able to do anything about the Sanwol lands. That land alone will remain forever as Blood Demon Land…”

Those were the final words of Blood Cult Leader Gae Hong-cheon.

 

“What was that?”

Ha Mu-baek opened his eyes from the dream he’d had after so long, muttering to himself.

That moment when he had killed Blood Cult Leader Gae Hong-cheon.

Who would have thought that would appear in a dream.

This was a first.

He had occasionally recalled those memories before, but he had never seen that scene again in such a vivid dream.

“Come to think of it, Academy Director Peng survived back then too.”

Since Peng Do-yul had been at the tail end of the suicide squad, he too had been one of those who somehow faced Gae Hong-cheon.

There weren’t many who survived confronting Gae Hong-cheon, and Peng Do-yul was one of the survivors.

“What an unpleasant dream…”

Both the Blood Cult leader and the Demonic Cult leader.

They didn’t just die quietly.

They left behind curse-like strange words before breathing their last.

Seeing that scene again was more than a little irritating.

“Sanwol…”

It was the place where the remnants of the Blood Cult were hiding.

He had said it would remain forever as Blood Demon Land, but in reality it was land that remained part of Marim due to the desires of great powers.

‘Is something about to happen there?’

Ha Mu-baek tilted his head at the inexplicable premonition.

He didn’t believe in prophetic dreams.

But to suddenly dream of those events out of nowhere.

“Instructor!”

Just then, Dang Jin-san’s voice was heard.

He had come after finishing the training he’d been assigned.

Soaked in sweat, he was holding a whip.

“You’re done already?”

“Yes!”

His eyes burned with enthusiasm.

This was the first time this guy had been so diligent.

The motivation was probably his desire for revenge for his elder sister.

‘It must be difficult…’

Ha Mu-baek deliberately didn’t voice those words.

Since the guy was willing to work hard on his own.
