Chapter 374
Although the options put him in tough situations, they did show him the faith of an answer being there.
In addition, reincarnation gave him another opportunity to choose the right answer.
In other words, it clearly showed what was right and wrong there.
Unexpected situations came with answers, but they also revealed to him victories and failures.
But there was no answer to life.
Is there someone I need, or is there someone who can help? One did not know such things from the start. Because right and wrong were not visible to the eyes, you ultimately valued the person according to your mind and heart.
One could not clearly see the results of their efforts with their eyes. They could only guess how much they had grown.
Like this, something which could be easily confirmed with numbers within the system might not be solvable in ordinary life.
That was the life of a person.
This
But Seol-Hwi had now come to think that it might be better to break away from this system, even beyond the tricks.
The change, which was simply represented as ON/OFF in the system, now showed different things.
Supreme Demon and Supreme Master.
In the gap of change, a third energy emerged.
So lightly.
And it appeared again.
The gray airflow. A phenomenon that occurred when pure energy and demonic energy interlock at one point.
It was like a rainbow.
When he tried to reach out and touch it, it reacted and vanished.
Ah
Seol-Hwi felt upset as he turned his head, and thats when the powerful force of the enemies approached.
Shhh
Seol-Hwi waved his hand towards the blood-red glow. And this was the best.
What
But something felt different now.
Originally, it was a technique to let any energy dissipate by following the movement of his hand, but Seol-Hwi did not do anything.
The third power seemed unaffected by his Wudang skills.
He reflexively waved his hand, but nothing happened. They were attacked by some force, and now three illusions surrounded him.
Shhh
The green poison energy was spreading, closing in around him.
Kuak!
Seol-Hwi, standing tall, hesitated to move.
Jkjkjk
As the poison coursed through his body, a burning sensation arose, and his skin began to be eaten away on contact.
What is this?
Swish!
He summoned his bodys energy to protect himself from degradation, but it did not work. The energy itself did not exist in this world, so using normal methods was futile.
Cough! You almost got caught.
As Seol-Hwi stumbled and sat down, the hunched man curled his lips into a smile.
The blood-red airflow must have entered his bloodstream, or the poisonous attack was causing paralysis and necrosis simultaneously.
He had no intention of prolonging the fight.
He was curious about the identity of the man who had lasted this long, but that was all.
When you die, I will rip open your stomach and examine all six organs with my own two eyes. You might not even be human.
The skinny man spoke casually, uttering those cruel words. Even after seeing Seol-Hwis eyes, which were completely confident of his victory, he could not care less.
His gaze still followed it.
I saw it again. It was longer this time
Flinch.
That energy, which appeared in the distance and then vanished, was now right before his eyes.
With difficulty, he reached out his hand to confirm it, worried it might disappear again.
Swish
Unlike before, the qi settled on the back of his hand as lightly as a feather.
Early winter snow
The phenomenon was like the first snowfall, suddenly descending on the whims of the weather.
It actually settled on his hand, but it was like a tiny snowflake that could melt and vanish at any moment.
Seol-Hwi never thought this would change his situation. All he could think about was how such a small and weak power
Lets finish this.
Kikikik.
The elders were ready to kill him.
This time, with the intention of making a firm decision and unleashing all his strength, he expanded his blood-red energy to a whopping five meters.
Wooong!
A poisonous light rose up like smoke from both hands, showing that the strength was beyond imagination. The hunched old man gave a signal.
Die!!
Kuaaak!
The red blood and green poison energy surged toward Seol-Hwi.
Is it moving?
Seol-Hwi also knew that this moment was a desperate one. Nonetheless, he was curious about what this gray-colored energy that swayed around was.
Is this a living thing?
Thin gray matter, moving like a thread, wriggled and burrowed under his fingertips.
Seol-Hwi watched quietly, wondering what it was.
Shhh
It entered his body, surrounded the energy and the blood, and soon expanded. The speed was enough to change everything in the blink of an eye.
All of the energy, including Seol-Hwis own, was stirring.
Kuak!
Thud!
When Seol-Hwi felt his body tremble and twitch, he realized that this unknown entity had taken over his body.
At the same time, he observed the attacks of the elders. An absolute and enormous strength sought to erase all traces of Seol-Hwis existence.
I cannot fight back. In this life uh?
Just when he was about to naturally let go of everything, Seol-Hwi felt confusion rise.
Woong!
The power he possessed was not just his own internal energy. Before that, there was this unprecedented power he had never experienced before.
A thought crossed his mind for a moment, wondering how this happened, but he was in no position to care about that.
Ahh!
He began to counterattack with full strength against the power that was assaulting him.
All there was, was a subtle gray airflow.
Wooong
The sound of wind occurred first.
Perhaps it was because of the Clear Wind, a third strength which Seol-Hwi used for the first time, having experienced the phenomenon back at the Qingcheng sect, emerged.
But if the wind that rose from the tip of the sword was one thing, the current wind was another. It rushed through the complex cave-like terrain, filled with oddly shaped rocks.
What is
What nonsense is this?
That was all.
The two old men felt nervous, and when they saw Seol-Hwi holding his hands out, they laughed.
The final struggle is quite interesting
Crash!
What is this?
The two old men flinched at that. Following the sound, the result was delayed.
This unknown energy, which suddenly bloomed like smoke from Seol-Hwis heart, looked shabby at first.
Compared to the brilliant red blood energy and that creepy green one, Seol-Hwis energy was dark, like smoke.
Shhh
But the black smoke suddenly spread like the wind, engulfing the red and green energies in an instant.
Buk
A strange sound, like leather being torn, occurred.
But what happened next was too shocking.
The black smokey wind erased the energy of the two old men.
What?
Uh?
It was not just the two men who were surprised; Seol-Hwi was too. Just a few seconds ago, he had no doubt he would die in this life.
Woooong!
But the energy he used, moving slowly as if repelling something, was so powerful that it gave him goosebumps.
The black wind, appearing in the world for the first time, grew instantly and consumed the energy of the two men.
As if a shadow had fallen, darkness enveloped everything and exploded outward.
Gooooo!
Huh!
This is!
The fastest thing in the world was light, or a shadow which light cannot reach.
The two men could not even react to the speed.
Sup. Huk.
The hunched old man, who reflexively used footwork, had both legs cut off.
Huh!
The thin old man, who had reacted later, had disappeared from the face to neck.
Thud!
It was a clean cut, as if made by a sword. The neck, now headless, gushed out blood.
What strength is this
The sight was so shocking that even Seol-Hwi, who was watching, felt goosebumps rise.
The absolute power the Earth Demon used before. No, it was not just that; it was not as great now, but it was enough to take down two Supreme Master warriors.
So different. Entirely different.
Seol-Hwi reflected on the energy that had just arisen during the fight.
It was generally known that when a warrior wielding a sword reached the absolute stage, they could demonstrate the shining sword.
Here, it was said that through the long experience of the sects, the martial arts could bring out a level higher than the sword energy featured in each sect.
But the third force was a strength one level higher.
It used the power of other worlds, not of nature.
Of course, normal people could not use it, and only those who had reached the Supreme Demon or Supreme Master level could use it.
Amplify, explosion, neither and
Should he call it proliferation? Compared to the brightness shown, Seol-Hwis counterattack was unsightly.
It was not a clear light, but a clumsy combination of justice and demonic arts. But even so, it showed a miraculous power.
Kuak. Kuak
The hunched man groaned. Seol-Hwi was pulled back into reality. He got up from his seat and slowly walked towards him.
Why are you here now? You, man
?
This was an unexpected reaction. The old man, who he thought was odd until the end of his life, was filled with sadness. There was this feeling.
Tears dripped down his eyes, snot from his nose, and saliva dripped down.
You know me?
What was he talking about now? He wanted to ask, but he intended to accede to the other persons illusion.
Then the old man bowed his head deeply.
I always waited. A light which shines in Wudang. So, so difficult that I even touched the taboo of the sect despite knowing it was wrong.
Seol-Hwi looked at him without speaking. He did not know what was happening, but the old man was being sincere.
Our discipline wasnt enough. I shouldnt have wavered then, but I got trapped in this unseen darkness and ended up seizing the fruit which was forbidden; forgive me.
The fruit probably referred to a third energy.
During their talks, it felt as if he had changed his path. For those who had been trapped for decades, this third energy must have been like water.
Did the four of you, including you, step into the Evil Way?
Seol-Hwi asked.
From what we managed to learn, but There will be more. Training the mind and body is known to be a difficult task. If you lack even the slightest amount of discipline, anyone will turn a blind eye.
Seol-Hwi knew that the words of this man were no excuse.
Cultivation, meditation, training, and more nothing was easy. The body will be tired, and so will the mind.
If one did it for a long time and did not achieve the level of advancement, one would naturally have no choice but to be tempted by a greater power.
More to say just what is the extent of his involvement?
When Seol-Hwi fell silent for a moment in worry
Oh my wise
The hunched man continued to speak; maybe he realized he was not well anymore.
He probably wont be in the record book of those who came.
What does this mean?
The one who calls himself the absolute being gave us revelations from heaven. They showed us the true path And we didnt stay in Wudang after that.
Seol-Hwi nodded.
After hearing it, it seemed to be true.
The Wudang Sect was different from other sects. They have the Tao of Taiji, which explained everything in the world.
And the purpose was to block the path to permanently prevent the Wudang disciples, with their high skills and strong understanding of the world, from reaching enlightenment by tempting them.
Unless he came in person and showed the illusion, the Wudang Sect would be swayed.
I get it. Enough now; dont remember. At the end, you people can head back to your routes.
Thank you. I can finally go in peace
After some more brief words, he died, as if he had been waiting for Seol-Hwi to comfort him.
You wise man
The reference was to the man who founded the Wudang Sect.
Perhaps due to the skills shown at the end, he must have thought Seol-Hwi to be the ancestor of Wudang who came to save them.
I am worried. More than that
Even though Seol-Hwi had defeated them and gained the third energy, his expression was not good.
There was a long way to go now. It would be difficult to resolve how many people under the spell of the Absolute Being were losing their way.
