Episode 700: Never Try to See Your Future
Because of his special ability as a chaos-monger, Yongjin tried to avoid killing people as much as possible to obtain the Heavenly Fruit. If he greedily killed people, he would become a prisoner of greed and cause chaos in the city, which he would regret.
However, Su-gwan-ji was different. He was the cause of trouble, and he wouldn’t feel pressured even if he killed him. A cold smile spread across Yong-jin’s lips as he watched Su-gwan-ji’s back as he left.
They went to the meeting place and waited for at least three hours.
Suddenly, the heavens and the earth shook, and the surrounding scenery changed, revealing a mountain valley ahead. The valley was covered in fog, so the scenery inside could not be seen.
“This is the second test paper, Gu Yu Ro (九幽路)!”
People were startled when they heard the voice of the viceroy in their ears.
In the mountain valley before my eyes, a picturesque waterfall flowed ceaselessly. It didn’t look fake, but it didn’t seem real either.
Although the inside could not be seen because of the fog, there was a mysterious atmosphere surrounding it, as if it was waiting for someone to come in.
“This is the Gyu-ro. Unlike the first test, this is a test of soul and willpower. This place is so dangerous that you could easily die, so I recommend that those who lack soul and willpower do not participate in this test.”
At Bujongju’s words, all the Dragon Blood Warriors looked at Gokyang. Gokyang sighed. This test had nothing to do with him.
His soul power was so weak that Gwak Yeon specially made him a soul magic tool. If Meng Qi infused his soul power into the magic tool, he would be able to avoid being defeated by a single blow from the spirit.
The vice-principal glanced at his disciples and said.
“I have a warning before the test. There are countless dangerous illusions unfolding in the Guryu. If you cannot tell what is real and what is not, you will lose your life because of them. Unlike the Hyeoncheonhae, the Guryu itself opens with the power of the soul. I will leave it to your imagination to figure out how many souls it takes to create such a great test.”
Yongjin couldn’t help but be surprised at those words. Collecting souls to open the passage? Could it be that the souls of the strong men who died in the battle between Jeongdo and Sado were gathered to open this passage?
“You all will remember that in the final examination of the Star Academy, we fought against a corpse. The soul of that corpse was collected from the True Demon War. The corpses used in your exams had relatively complete souls, so they could be sealed inside the corpse. Most of the strong men who died in the True Demon War lost their souls. We collected their soul power and activated the Gu Yu Road.
The Guyu Road contains endless resentment. You will encounter various dangerous situations. If you feel that your life is in danger, break the jade tablet I gave you. Then, you will flow out of Guyu Road on your own. However, do not think that you are safe just because you have the jade tablet. You may die from being possessed by the spirit of this place before you can break the jade tablet.”
The vice-principal gave a warning.
People’s hearts were heavy at the words of the Bujongju. Those who did not have outstanding spiritual intelligence even gave up halfway. However, as a test of the Hyeoncheon Dojong, the advantages were beyond words. Although the Bujongju only talked about the bad and did not mention the benefits, danger and opportunity always coexist. This was a test that absolutely could not be missed.
“Let me say one last thing: Never, ever try to see into your own future.”
Bu Jong-ju looked at Yong Jin and the Four Great Geniuses as if warning them.
“yes.”
When the Vice-Minister of the Interior said the word “absolute” twice in a row, Jongmuyeom and his men felt that something was wrong and engraved those words deep in their hearts.
After waiting for another hour, the waves in the valley ahead disappeared. As soon as Bu Jong-ju saw this, he waved his hand widely and said.
“The test of the old world begins.”
But this time, everyone was cautious and there was no rushing in. Since the test of the Hyeoncheon Dojong was a secret to the disciples, they did not want to be the first to rush in and become sacrificial lambs.
“Yongjin, let’s go in first. I think there’s something I want here.”
Mong-gi grabbed Yong-jin and walked with Dang-wan-ah into the valley.
After Yongjin left a message for the people, he followed Monggi and Dangwan-ah into the entrance. The valley, which was only a few thousand jang wide, was covered in thick fog. Powerful soul waves were radiating from the somewhat strange fog.
Thump.
As the three entered the fog together, those watching outside could not help but be astonished.
The moment the three people entered, the soul wave disappeared in an instant. It was as if they had been swallowed in one bite by a giant beast. It was creepy, but the people started to go inside after taking a look at the expressionless face of the Bujongju.
Yongjin was walking through the fog, holding the hands of two people tightly. Then suddenly his hands became empty, Monggi and Dangwana disappeared, and the scenery began to change. Soon, a mountain path appeared before his eyes.
The view was obscured by fog, and only a few frames could be seen. The fog was so bizarre that even the power of the soul could not penetrate it, and even the divine form could not be deployed.
Growl!
Suddenly, a beastly noise was heard from behind him. He turned around and saw a flame lion about ten feet long rushing towards Yongjin.
Yongjin, surprised by the sudden attack by Gwangsa, quickly struck down his fist.
The fist unexpectedly pierced through the body of the madman. Surprisingly, it was Vanity.
“Soul Attack!”
The light was created by the transformation of the soul’s intelligence, and it rushed straight towards his soul.
“joy.”
Yongjin snorted coldly and formed a soul arrow with his hand. He immediately fired the arrow at Gwangsa and defeated him.
After the light shattered, countless soul powers surged towards Yongjin. Yongjin was slightly surprised by the high purity and slowly absorbed the soul powers.
“What pure spiritual power.”
After death, the Gwangsa unexpectedly became a pure soul power that could be absorbed.
“But unfortunately, it’s of no use to me.”
Yongjin let out a sigh.
His practice was different from others. In addition, this soul power had a law that raised a person’s level. However, Yongjin, who practiced the formation of the formation of the formation, did not need enlightenment because his soul power automatically increased as his practice level increased. Since he fundamentally did not have a stagnation period, he did not need enlightenment.
The flame warrior from earlier was so realistic. Even Yongjin thought it was a real demon because he couldn’t even feel the soul waves.
Yongjin continued to walk forward along the mountain path. Occasionally, various demons would jump out and attack, but they were all killed by Yongjin’s fists.
Only then did I realize that this manure was a kind of welfare given to his disciples. For some reason, the manure absorbed the souls of those who died in battle and turned them into pure soul power. The history of the Hyeoncheon Dojong was truly deep.
I smiled as I thought about how happy Mong-gi and Dang-wan-ah would be. Both of them were strong souls, and they would gain unimaginable benefits from this place. For Mong-gi in particular, it was like a custom-made sanctuary.
As they advanced, the spirit demons became stronger, but they were no match for Yongjin.
When I couldn’t tell how long I had walked, suddenly someone appeared in front of me.
“Water pipe?”
Yongjin, who had not expected to meet Su-gwan-ji here, was slightly surprised. However, for some reason, Su-gwan-ji did not say a word even after seeing Yongjin, and suddenly connected his hands to create a huge water prison and confined Yongjin.
Yongjin immediately exploded his soul power. Then, the water prison shattered and disappeared in an instant. The water pipe disappeared somewhere, and instead, a transparent vanity appeared before Yongjin’s eyes.
Sigh.
Yongjin fired a huge soul arrow at the vanity. The vanity that was pierced by the arrow was immediately shattered and transformed into pure soul power.
Yongjin was definitely surprised by the appearance of Su-gwan-ji, but he immediately noticed the weakness when he casted his magic. Guyu-ro was a special space, so no magic other than soul power could be used.
So, as soon as Su-gwan-ji’s vanity launched an attack, Yong-jin immediately used his soul power to destroy the vanity.
After that transparent vanity was shattered, Yongjin sensed a faint energy. It was an extremely bizarre energy, as if a spirit was faintly present in the vanity.
After killing the vanity, Yongjin quickly walked forward without absorbing the soul power. As long as the soul power was not consumed too much, there was no need to replenish it. And there was something he had to find here, so he could not delay.
As Yongjin was advancing at a brisk pace, the other disciples also entered the mansion. Fortunately, three people remained behind to accompany Gokyang. They were all people with poor soul intelligence, so if they had entered the mansion, they would have probably been killed by an ordinary soul beast.
The remaining three were all physically strong like Gokyang and walked the path of strength. The four of them looked at each other awkwardly and felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
When all his disciples entered the mansion, Bujongju took out a Go board. In fact, the Go board was not an ordinary Go board, but a map.
The map, which was densely packed with lines crisscrossing each other like a maze, had numerous light dots slowly emitting light here and there.
Those lights were points of light representing the disciples. However, there were so many points of light that it was impossible to tell who was who.
“Hey, why is this spot brighter than the others?”
One of the lords asked.
“That’s because he killed more spirit beasts than other people. He absorbed so much soul power that he’s unusually bright. Who the hell is he to be so far ahead from the start?”
One of the relatively experienced officers said:
The vassal extended his wrinkled fingers, placed them on the light spot, and made a gesture with his left hand. Then, the map of the Go board disappeared and a divine spirit appeared.
“No, this person is…….”
A beautiful woman appeared on the screen, striking down a giant coma by shooting a large soul arrow with her delicate hands. The members were all surprised by its power, but the woman carried it off easily as if it was no big deal.
That woman was none other than Mong-gi. After understanding Guyu-ro’s situation, she killed the spirit without hesitation and absorbed its spirit power.
Although her soul knowledge was obtained from Yongjin, through her practice, many changes occurred in her soul knowledge. She absorbed soul knowledge and expanded her soul sea like crazy, improving her realm. Mongki ran around freely here like a fish in water.
Several more light spots quickly lit up. They were the Four Great Geniuses. However, the fifth light spot to light up was unexpectedly not Yongjin, but Dang Wan-ah.
“What is Yongjin doing?”
People were puzzled. Could it be that he was not doing what he was told to do, but rather doing something stupid?
