Chapter 287. Primordial…

 

 

One fragment among the five fragments.

The Heavenly Demon Divine Technique.

That alone was an absolute martial art capable of dominating All Under Heaven.

Though it was called one of five fragments, it was the largest fragment.

It was a martial art that feared nothing under heaven, and had twice brought Gangho under its feet.

The change in the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique occurred two hundred years ago.

They found and recovered one fragment of the Void.

They tried to merge the recovered fragment with the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique, but it remained immovable.

It would not merge.

When another hundred years had passed like that.

The Sect Leader of that era found yet another fragment.

A Sect Leader recorded as a genius among geniuses even in the history of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Zhuge Wu-gun.

As his surname indicated, he was from the Zhuge Noble Family.

Branded as a traitor to his family, he entered the Heavenly Demon Sect, and with his outstanding abilities eventually rose to the position of Sect Leader.

That was during the worst dark period of the Zhuge Noble Family.

Zhuge Wu-gun realized that the fragment he had found was not a fragment of the Void.

He delved deeply into the Void Arts.

Tracing back to its origins like that, he eventually came to realize the existence of the Primordial Six Divine Techniques.

And he left that existence in records.

This was why the Demonic Cult Leaders knew of the Primordial Six Divine Techniques.

Seok Cheon-gyeong was examining the successive Sect Leaders in order.

When he reached the records left by Zhuge Wu-gun.

He examined them in even greater detail.

However, there was nothing he had missed.

Content he already knew.

Only content about the Primordial Six Divine Techniques.

“Is there nothing more in Investigator Zhuge’s records…?”

With a regretful heart, he examined them once more.

There was nothing.

“Sigh.”

A deep sigh.

“If it were this person, he surely would have left something behind.”

A talent of the ages and a genius among geniuses.

Two of the Eight Great Heart Methods of the Demonic Cult were created by Zhuge Wu-gun.

Before that, there had been the Six Great Heart Methods of Demon Sect.

The moment his thoughts reached there.

Seok Cheon-gyeong operated the Asura Thunder Spirit Return Origin Heart Method with a hopeful thought.

At that moment.

Wooooooong.

There was a reaction.

The records that Zhuge Wu-gun had personally written and left behind.

A gentle light seemed to pour out from those books.

Seok Cheon-gyeong opened the books again.

Above the existing text, other text was faintly visible.

Instinctively, he concentrated his internal energy in his eyes.

Then new characters became clearly visible.

Seok Cheon-gyeong became absorbed in that content.

Without moving at all, he spent half a time period like that.

“Huh…”

A deep sigh.

“How could he have arranged this in such a way…?”

Words mixed with both lamentation and joy.

If he hadn’t hidden it like this, the Heavenly Demon Sect wouldn’t have been defeated in the last war.

Since it was found even now, Murim could be placed under the feet of the Heavenly Demon Sect again.

Such was his complex state of mind.

“Primordial. Primordial… So that was the meaning of Return Origin in the Asura Thunder Spirit Return Origin Heart Method.”

What Zhuge Wu-gun had found was indeed a fragment of one of the Primordial Six Divine Techniques split apart, but it was not a fragment of the Void.

In the process of delving deep to discover its identity, Zhuge Wu-gun grasped a clue about the Primordial Six Divine Techniques.

And he learned that what he had obtained was one of the fragments into which Chaos from the Primordial Six Divine Techniques had been split.

He merged the fragment of Chaos with the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique.

That is the current Heavenly Demon Divine Technique.

After that, he created an Internal Energy Mental Method that reacted to traces of the Primordial Six Divine Techniques.

That was the Asura Thunder Spirit Return Origin Heart Method.

Return Origin.

The meaning of returning to the source.

It meant returning to the Primordial.

The Asura Thunder Spirit Return Origin Heart Method was excellent enough to be included in the Eight Great Heart Methods of the Heavenly Demon Sect by itself.

But that was not its true nature.

Rather.

It was an Internal Energy Mental Method for the purpose of finding and merging fragments of the Primordial Six Divine Techniques.

“Huh, huh huh. Huh huh huh.”

After reading all the content.

Seok Cheon-gyeong let out a hollow laugh.

Zhuge Wu-gun.

Why on earth.

Had he hidden and arranged this so thoroughly?

He could not understand.

There was no content about that.

If he had simply passed this fact down to future generations.

All Under Heaven would now be under the feet of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

“It’s fortunate that I obtained the arrangement even now.”

Seok Cheon-gyeong muttered while.

Thinking of his disciple Sama Hu-do.

He hadn’t expected it.

That fellow had achieved great merit.

The discovery of the arrangement had begun from that fellow finding the secret manual called the Void Heaven Technique.

“Ha Mu-baek. Wait for me.”

Seok Cheon-gyeong muttered in a low voice and headed back to the Closed Training Room.

It was time to merge the two fragments of the Void he possessed with the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique.

And he had to find the other fragments as well.

They didn’t necessarily have to be Void.

Whatever fragments they might be.

If it’s a fragment of the Primordial Six Body Technique.

It’s possible.

Seok Cheon-gyeong decided he should have his disciples and son learn the Asura Thunder Spirit Return Mind Technique as he began walking.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!!

Hyeon-hwang ran, creating a tremendous sound of cutting through the air.

He ran straight toward Moklan Mountain.

Five days was a short time.

From Songshan Mountain to Moklan Mountain was a full twelve hundred li.

Even for Hyeon-hwang, his internal energy wasn’t infinite.

He had to consider rest time as well.

Calculating up to that point, it would take a full day to reach Moklan Mountain.

There was no guarantee the target would still be at Moklan Mountain.

Considering the time needed for tracking afterward.

“Tight. It’s tight. That damn senior brother.”

Hyeon-hwang grumbled while running at full speed.

Where he had passed, a fierce whirlwind swept through.

 

Woomun Ga-yul obtained suitable arrows and a sword from the blacksmith shop below Hyeongsan Mountain, then ran toward Moklan Mountain.

Gritting her teeth.

She ran with all her might without resting for even a moment.

She ran with all her strength, thinking that every moment she delayed, the Shaolin Monk got closer to Yeon-ah.

From Hyeongsan Mountain to Moklan Mountain was a journey of thirteen hundred li.

If she ran at full speed without rest, it was a distance she could cover in a day.

The problem came after that.

According to what she heard from Mun In-baek-song, with the Myriad Illusion Divine Face and even the Seven-Colored Sealing Ring.

Finding traces of her daughter wouldn’t be easy either.

However, regarding that part, Mun In-baek-song had something to say.

A great master had agreed to help.

He might be tracking her daughter’s traces right now.

Joining forces with him would also be a method, he said.

‘Was it Ha Mu-baek?’

It was a familiar name.

She had helped a child named Mu-baek before.

How could she forget?

The devastating result brought by the momentary delay in her steps while helping that child.

Wasn’t she confined because of that?

Even so, she had not a single point of regret.

She was just curious.

Whether that child was living safely afterward.

Whether that sickly-looking girl was alright.

‘Her name was Ran-i.’

A child of similar age to her own daughter, Hwi-yeon.

She looked so sickly that she simply couldn’t bring herself to leave.

‘I hope those children are safe too.’

All she knew were the names Mu-baek and Ran-i.

Since they were wandering children.

There was no way to know where they were.

So much time had passed.

She could only hope they had safely become adults.

She didn’t know about the righteous faction master named Ha Mu-baek either.

He had appeared several years after she was confined.

Naturally, she didn’t know his face.

‘You’ll be able to recognize him at once. He’s an arrogant and reckless person. Of course, he’s a monster who has the qualifications for that.’

That was Mun In-baek-song’s assessment.

She was curious about what kind of person he was, for him to call someone a monster.

And she hoped and prayed.

That he was properly tracking the traces of her daughter Hwi-yeon.

Even the time to drink a sip of water was precious.

Even the time to close her eyes briefly for sleep was precious.

Woomun Ga-yul ran and ran again at full speed without rest.

 

Gongya Hwi-yeon, who had entered Anhui Province, immediately turned south.

She moved straight toward Jiangxi Province.

It was an arduous journey.

Walking along the Main Road, she looked at both her wrists.

The Seven-Colored Sealing Ring hidden beneath her long sleeves.

‘I’ve come this far, should I remove them now?’

It was a strong temptation.

The sun blazing intensely from the blue sky.

Her whole body was drenched in sweat.

When the sweat dried, her whole body became sticky again.

It was truly unbearable.

The heat.

Right now, it was her greatest enemy and torment.

If only she had her internal energy.

She could escape from the heat to some degree.

Such a strong temptation beckoned to her.

The Shaolin Monks were far away.

No matter how skilled they were, they couldn’t possibly recognize her martial arts.

By now, it should be fine to remove the Seven-Colored Sealing Ring.

Soon, Gongya Hwi-yeon shook her head.

Anchang in Anhui Province.

She just needed to get there.

It was a place adjacent to the Yangtze River.

Once there, she could travel by boat.

Then no traces would remain.

She could take a boat up the Yangtze River, then go via Poyang Lake to reach Nanchang.

From Nanchang, she would move southwest, enter Hunan Province, and head toward Hyeongsan Mountain.

There would surely be boats traveling from Anchang to Nanchang.

If she took that boat, she would overcome all the major hurdles.

Then she wouldn’t have to suffer from the heat like this.

Once she entered Poyang Lake, she could remove the Seven-Colored Sealing Ring then.

“Just a little more. Don’t become weak.”

Gongya Hwi-yeon patted her face and steeled her resolve once more.

 

Ha Mu-baek looked at the Main Road.

This road was the Main Road leading to Anhui Province.

“Hmm.”

A map unfolded in Ha Mu-baek’s mind.

The geography of the nearby area came to mind at once.

He had to speculate on the reason why Gongya Hwi-yeon had set her direction toward Anhui Province.

Since she was being pursued by Shaolin Monks, naturally she would have to avoid Henan.

At first, she had intended to hide herself temporarily and then return to Gyoryong Hall.

Then the directions she could move were Anhui Province or Jiangxi Province.

However, the direction of the Shaolin Monks moving from Moklan Mountain would have made her go to Anhui Province.

And in the middle, she abandoned her bow and even went so far as to disguise herself as a man.

‘She properly recognized the seriousness of the situation.’

Then would she still try to return to Gyoryong Hall for the Eastern Alliance?

Ha Mu-baek shook his head slightly.

If it was the clever Gongya Hwi-yeon, she would know that now she had to give up and return to the Sahae Alliance.

If by any chance she was caught by the Shaolin Monks.

Shaolin Temple would obtain a precious prisoner who could grasp the Sahae Alliance by the throat.

The route from Anhui Province to Hyeongsan Mountain in Hunan Province.

And Gongya Hwi-yeon’s current situation.

‘She’s disguised as a man and even restricted her internal energy.’

Ha Mu-baek looked up at the sky.

The hot sun was beating down.

“It’s a difficult situation to move with a woman’s body.”

Ha Mu-baek finally found the inn where Gongya Hwi-yeon had stayed disguised as a man.

According to what he learned by giving the shopkeeper there a few iron coins.

She wore thick martial robes compared to the weather to cover her body as much as possible.

That had remained in the shopkeeper’s impression.

Because it was clothing that didn’t match the season.

She would absolutely never release the Seven-Colored Phoenix Ring.

It wouldn’t be easy.

But the Gongya Hwi-yeon that Ha Mu-baek had seen would somehow endure it.

“Still, if possible, she would try to find a route that’s more comfortable and leaves no traces.”

Ha Mu-baek’s eyes lit up.

“It would be the waterway.”

Her destination came to mind.

Nanchang in Jiangxi Province.

A large city next to Poyang Lake.

From there, she would try to go to Hyeongsan Mountain again using the land route.

Then the question was where she would board a boat.

Drawing the closest place where she could board a boat among the places on the route she was currently taking.

“It would be Anjing.”

Gongya Hwi-yeon’s traces had already become faint to the point of being extremely faint.

To sense her presence wearing the Seven-Colored Phoenix Ring with ki sense, he had to be at least in the same village.

Ha Mu-baek kicked off from the main road.

Rather than chasing her traces that were now too faint to see.

His plan was to move according to his deduction and arrive first to wait.

Ha Mu-baek unfolded his Neung Gwang Man Ri Haeng and ran.

 

***

 

Late at night.

Hyeon-hwang slept outdoors.

After two hours of deep sleep, he ran again.

“Hm?”

A group caught in his ki sense.

They were Shaolin Monks.

“Hehehe. They seem to be the ones Senior Brother sent to capture the evil sect bastard.”

Hyeon-hwang passed Moklan Mountain and ran toward where those guys were.

There would be information he could obtain from them.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

Hyeon-hwang increased his speed and unfolded his lightness skill toward the guys who had reached the border between Hubei Province and Anhui Province.

 

As a result of running without rest even for a moment.

Woomun Ga-yul had almost arrived near Moklan Mountain.

At that moment.

“What, what is it?”

She stopped walking and widened her eyes.

She, who had been running without rest to find her daughter, had no choice but to stop.

An tremendous qi energy was caught in her ki sense.

It was qi energy outside the range of her ki sense.

But it was so strong that she felt it.

Qi energy moving quickly past Moklan Mountain.

She shuddered.

It wasn’t simply strong and fierce.

It was a sinister and ominous qi energy.

To the extent that she, a martial artist of the evil sect, rather shuddered at the ominousness.

‘Ominous.’

She had that thought because it was moving past Moklan Mountain.

Qi energy that somehow seemed to be connected to her daughter.

Woomun Ga-yul kicked off from the ground.

This time it was to chase after that sinister and ominous something.
