EP.220 Twenty-one Chapters - Farewell, Co-op Seongryeon (6) - [Part 1 completed]

* * *

A week after praying for Mokseono.

Mok Riwon has begun to somewhat adapt to life in Vigo..

When I open my eyes at dawn, I start meditating in the early morning air..

I briefly warm up, take a pill of Byeokgokdan, then clean up my body and read Vigo's journal..

It was to find a way to make imperfect transcendence complete..

『It wasn't easy to reach the 8th level of Holy Lotus..

We must strive to unite the mind and body and go beyond the realm, but isn't enlightenment originally coming to the mind, energy and body separately?.

The task is to achieve transcendence in accordance with the cycle, so the current situation is deplorable, as it is impossible to put off the rushing realization or forcefully break through the blocked wall..』

What I was reading was the diary of Baekmyeonsura Heoyanggun, the second lord of the clan..

His agony and lamentation were recorded in his tightly written handwriting..

And, the solution he came up with was also recorded.

『I ended up becoming a poor student who wasn't superhuman like my teacher, and ended up using a shallow strategy, which was washing dishes..

Since unity cannot be achieved all at once, priorities must be set..

After cultivating the body, mind, and spirit in the order of body, mind, and qi, I filled the compacted vessel with gong energy..

The process was creaky, but in the end, we succeeded in reaching transcendence, which is not something to be ashamed of, but something to be proud of as the master of Seongryun..』

Mokriwon sighed..

The concerns about the union of mind and body were similar, but the method by which Heo Yang-gun achieved transcendence was a method that Mok-ri-won could not use..

‘I reached transcendence first..’

Since the energy overflowing in the bowl is already destroying my body, I cannot leisurely refine the sieve and core..

So I tried to find another way, but unfortunately, among all the masters of the past, no one has reached transcendence of energy first..

One thing I found out was no different..

『As I purified my mind and chased away impatience, enlightenment of the mind and body came at the same time..

So, my dear, do not be impatient..』

It is said that Mok Seon-oh achieved the unity of the mind and body at the same time..

It was the first time it had happened since Yeo Seong-un, a non-examination person who opened a faction..

Proudness and regret for being a poor student simultaneously surged through Mok Riwon's heart..

It seems even worse to be buried in emotions. It takes a while to calm your mind and body..

‘It's almost evening.’

Mok Ri-won returned the journal to its original place and headed to the center of the pupil..

I can see stars slowly shining through the open ceiling..

Looking at the scene, Mokriwon expressed a faint sadness that today had passed without a harvest..

It was in the meantime.

“Umm…?”

The shape of the constellations was strange.

No, to be precise, the position of the star coming through the hole in the pupil was drawing a certain shape..

Mok Riwon’s eyes opened wide..

‘that….’

It was a shape that Mok Riwon knew..

‘…celestial life.’

I can't say for sure that it's exactly in that shape, but if I were to immerse myself in my imagination and draw a star with stars, the young star that always existed in the same shape somewhere was exactly in that shape..

The shape I intuitively drew in my mind is exactly the same as the shape of the constellations currently floating in the sky..

Thump, thump.

Mokriwon’s heart was pounding..

Is this a coincidence?.

‘…no.’

That can't be possible..

A deep confidence began to settle in Mokriwon..

It is said that Seongryun Shingong was created by Yeo Yeong-un, the founder of the Gaepa, while looking at the constellations in the night sky..

And in this place, the repository of Seongryeon, the shape of the constellation that can only be seen through the open ceiling is that of Cheonsalseong..

Mo Liwon was not stupid enough to dismiss all of this as a coincidence..

‘there is something.’

Mok Ri-won’s eyes were busy scanning the surroundings..

I become more and more convinced that there is a secret hidden in this note..

What is visible is the entrance to the graveyard and the entrance to the training ground..

And it was the doorway we came in from..

Each is in the east, south, and west directions..

then….

‘North.’

It was a rock wall with nothing in it..

Mok Ri-won cautiously approached the wall..

And I stretched out my hand towards the rock wall..

It was that moment.

Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu―

The rock wall disintegrated and a door was revealed..

“…!”

Mok Ri-won’s eyes opened wide as if torn..

‘What on earth happened?.’

There was concern, there was realization..

‘…It was prepared. from the beginning.’

One day, there was a saying that Zhuge Shan passed down..

-Among the techniques, there are types that are activated or performed only on specific days..

-There is such a strange method.?

-Yes, it's a bit complicated to explain the exact mechanism, but anyway, to sum it up, isn't there a rumor about a mysterious spirit that only appears during certain seasons? Most of these are rumors that arise because there is a formation in the place where the spirit object is, and the spirit object can only be seen at a certain time when the formation is revealed..

If we compare it to this situation, it was like that..

‘The Grand Master knows something about Heavenly Death..’

It's not just that..

The reason this remark was created, and the reason why only those who know the appearance of the Fortress of Heaven are to doubt today and reveal the secret of the true law.

Perhaps, this name Seongnyeon might have a secret that even Mok Seon-oh doesn't know about..

‘…I have to go in.’

There was an attraction.

Click, Mokriwon opened its door..

*

It was a secret room..

A secret room with a wall carved straight out of the rock and an old sword and a book above a small altar..

Even though it was a simple space, I couldn’t take my eyes off Mokriwon..

This is why the constellations carved on the wall caught Mokriwon’s attention..

‘There is a celestial nature.’

Not only a celestial being.

At first glance, constellations that looked dozens of years old were engraved on a round plate..

All of them were constellations leading to destiny..

Cheonsal (天殺) and the purple flowers next to it (紫微)).

The highest floating emperor and the distant isolation).

Tu-cheon (鬪天), Perm (破魔), Gung-gi (窮氣) and countless other stars were all stars that lead to destiny..

The details of what seasons they appear in and what shapes they take were all engraved on one wall..

Mok Riwon recalled a confused mind..

Eventually, his gaze turned to the book that was kept there..

Maybe the answer is there.

I walked over and picked up a book..

There was no title.

However, it was written that way..

‘…To the speaker.’

To those who are in a relationship.

Mo Riwon opened the book with trembling hands..

『This is a diary written by Yeo Yeong-woon, praying that someone who will carry on the true meaning of Seongryeon will emerge someday..』

It was a book that started with that introduction..

『The stars guide fate.

everyone says so.

This means that it cannot be rejected or resisted..

That fact is very sad..』

Mokriwon knew.

this was a memoir.

『It was called Jami (紫微).

the world said that about me.

The hero's star that will end the turbulent times, the one hope that will end the bloody war.

But I wasn't happy to hear that..

What they said was that there was a turbulent period that I had to put an end to..

I hoped not.

I hoped all of this would be for nothing, but fate eventually led me to the battlefield..

A man with a thousand-year legacy appeared in this land, and his name was Lee Moo-baek..』

Mok Riwon’s eyes trembled..

‘…Cheonma.’

Lee Moo-baek was the name of the third generation Cheonma who was born with the ability to kill a thousand people..

I couldn't help but be surprised to see his name appear in the Grand Master's diary..

Mok Ri-won hurriedly opened the next page..

『I had to stop it.

It was clear that if I let go and said I would reject fate, all living things would perish..

So I grabbed my sword and faced him..

That day I realized how cruel the fate of this star was..

Even as I reminisce, there is a voice that I cannot forget..

Please kill me.

It was Lee Moo-baek’s will..

He was a commoner who did not want to suffer anything but was merely swayed by fate..

I cut off his head, but he didn't feel any relief..

I was in anguish wondering what kind of star this is so that it can manipulate people like this..

I looked at the constellations endlessly, and one day I came to an epiphany..

If you can't resist, embrace it..

I will take upon them their fate..

So I hope that no one will be saddened by their difficult fate..

So, I created a sacred lotus..

To tie this cruel fate together and bear the karma, we have woven a single knot..

This journal is the result and interpretation..』

What followed was a brief speech about a certain deep hole..

And, it was a comment that interpreted it..

Mo Riwon's understanding immediately understood the meaning of the comment..

“ah…!”

There was an exclamation.

Mok Seon-oh said that even Mok-ri-won, who was said to be an enlightened star that could reach the sky, was astonished, and there was a deep heart melted in Gugyeol..

How long did it take to come up with and complete this structure alone?.

As I flipped through the journal to the end with that thought in mind, one sentence came to mind..

『Yeonja, you are struggling in a fate you cannot escape from..

Also, the successor of Seongryun,.』

That's it.

『Please save them from this cruel fate..

Continuing my unfulfilled karma, weave the lonely constellations together and liberate them..』

It was only then that Mo Liwon realized what the true supernormal abilities of Shenglian Divine Technique were..

*

the book is finished.

An old sword filled Mok Riwon’s field of vision..

-Won-ah, Seongryeon is a magic skill that connects the stars..

Mok Seon Oh said so..

Mo Liwon held the old sword in his hand, reflecting on the meaning of words he didn't even know..

The sword was so heavy and bitterly cold..

As the female fortune said, it was exactly like the weight of fate engraved on the constellations..

There was something I had to reflect on..

‘why does it have to be me.’

It was a question that had never been asked in Mok Riwon’s life..

What on earth did I do so wrong to be born with such a terrible nature?.

Why is the sky so cruel to me?.

It was a question that could not be answered no matter how many times I searched for it..

But now Mokriwon knows.

No, it would be fair to say that I already knew the answer and only now have I realized it..

Mokriwon’s gaze was directed at the constellations engraved on the wall..

“…Because he is a charlatan.”

My voice is shaking.

“Because sageryun is the martial arts of a charlatan..”

A distant feeling begins to envelop my whole body..

“And the charlatan….”

What a shame.

“…Because he is the one who takes the most difficult path..”

A faint smile began to appear on Mok Riwon's lips..

“Master, I understand now..”

Mo Liwon held his sword tightly and came out of the secret room..

Vigo's pupil, above the open ceiling, a deadly star was looking down at Mokriwon..

“Now I'm ready.”

I picked up an old sword and aimed the tip at the star..

Saaaa―

A dark red energy wave viciously wrapped around Mo Liwon’s body..

It is an attempt to harm the body..

Mok Riwon gritted his teeth..

And he recited one of the true verses of Seongryun..

‘Because heaven and earth are indifferent and do not treat humans,.’

Damn it, the air wave hardened and started to form cracks..

‘Just raise your sword to replace heaven and earth.’

As Mokriwon stepped forward, the red light of the solidified energy wave began to flicker..

‘The will to establish as a human being is called benevolence.).’

Big, let's swing the sword.

‘So, the karma you do is called Hyeop (俠).).’

Jaeaeaeang―!

The dark red energy waves shattered and began to shape into a new shape..

‘So it must be cooperation..’

A chilling, faint silent-colored energy wave spread like fog and enveloped Vigo..

The sword playing in the fog began to reflect the starlight of the night sky..

The scene resembled the teacher's sword dance that remained as a memory in Mokriwon's mind..

Mokriwon’s smile deepened..

The more I swung the sword, the more full I felt, and at some point, I began to burst out laughing..

The sword dance that has finally truly begun continues..

Just like that, Mok Riwon cut off 7 years..
