Episode 780 There is no strongest being in this world
Yongjin told Gwakyeon about the Jangmyeongdeung. The Jangmyeongdeung was definitely a treasure with an incredible history. How could something that could suppress loyalty be an ordinary thing?
But the treasure was stolen by someone else. On top of that, Yongjin was hit by a sword. He was seething with anger.
“Actually, there’s no need for the captain to be angry. The Hwanggunmo was the one who discovered it first anyway, and the captain also made him make a mistake, so it’s a draw.”
Kwak Yeon said.
Hwang Gun-mo was a peerless assassin, the leader of the younger generation of bloody murders. In his hands, with his strong fighting power and excellent killing skills, Yong-jin was able to survive even when he was defenseless, so he could feel proud.
“Tch, you’re so gullible. Everything he said was just a fabrication to distract me.”
Yongjin shook his head and said.
“yes?”
“If you have a brain, think about it. If he really had already arrived, why didn’t he take the items in the corpse mountain? With so many weapons and space rings, isn’t it strange that he didn’t covet them? In fact, he was secretly following us. Whatever we got was always prey in his eyes, ready to be snatched away.
Then, when I was about to get the Jangmyeongdeng, he showed up. He also noticed the extraordinary nature of the Jangmyeongdeng. He may even have known about the history of the Jangmyeongdeng. Everything he said after he got the Jangmyeongdeng was nonsense. It was a strategy to break my confidence.
“Sassus are good at psychological warfare. They use everything to create obstacles for their enemies. The guy said that just to hurt my confidence. How ridiculous for you to believe such nonsense.”
Yongjin shook his head and said.
“Oh my god, this can’t be happening.”
Kwak Yeon, who had never thought that far ahead, couldn’t hide his surprise.
“The path you are on now is different from others. But remember. A person’s greatest weakness is not in their fighting skills or their diet, but in their psychology. Do you know why I train everyone to be invincible? Because if you believe that you are invincible, any scheme will be nothing but nonsense, and any bluff will be cut down with a single stroke. Only when your mind and body are free of weaknesses will your mind remain clear, your realm will be bright, and you will be free of fear.
However, if there is a weakness in your body and mind, no matter how strong your country is, someone like Hwang Gun-mo will catch your weakness and end up in ruin. If you cultivate the invincible way, this kind of psychological attack will be useless. Whether you come early or late, the thing I saw is mine, and if anyone takes it, I will fight desperately.”
Speaking of Jang Myeong-deung, Yong-jin became angry again.
Kwak Yeon was impressed by Yong Jin. Although he was taken by surprise and almost killed, Yong Jin was not afraid at all and did not have a shadow on his mind. He truly had a strong psychological quality.
“Captain, why is there such a big gap between the two of us, even though we are both third-rank practitioners?”
Kwak Yeon asked with a look of incomprehension. The third-ranked Heavenly Master he had met before could have been killed if he had attacked with all his might.
However, someone as strong as Hwang Gun-mo, whose fighting prowess was so terrifying, shook him just by the aftermath of the battle, and reduced other strong men to a mist of blood. This was something beyond Gwak Yeon’s understanding.
Kwak Yeon thought that if he had the Golden Armor, he would be able to rule by force. After defeating the Third Rank Heavenly Warrior, he even thought that he would be able to compete with someone like Hwang Gunmo.
However, after seeing the amazing battle between Yongjin and Hwanggunmo, Gwakyeon was shocked as if he had been splashed with cold water. The difference between him and Hwanggunmo was very great. However, he could not understand why the difference between them was so great even though they were both third-rank heavenly practitioners.
“Before I entered Mangoro, the Great Leader of the Jongju told me that the third-ranked Heavenly Warriors were divided into the innate and acquired. He said that the fighting power between the two was worlds apart. I think I finally understand what he meant.”
Yongjin sighed.
“Innate and acquired?”
Kwak Yeon said, looking bewildered.
“The term ‘acquired’ refers to a rank that was promoted through external forces. For example, someone like Su-gwan-ji was originally a second-rank celestial being, but was later promoted to a third-rank celestial being with the help of Cheon-su-ju. People who were promoted to a celestial being through acquired forces like this are called acquired celestial beings. On the other hand, people like Hwang-gun-mo and Hyeon-yu were third-rank celestial beings from the moment they awakened.
“An ordinary third-grade celestial being is like a crown daisy. Even if it continues to grow, it can only grow to a height of three feet. On the other hand, an innate third-grade celestial being is a three-foot-tall sapling from birth. The difference between the two, both in quality and potential for growth, is worlds apart. This is why the gap between the two is so big.”
Kwak Yeon was dumbfounded. He was shocked that he could become a third-rank celestial practitioner with just one awakening. Kwak Yeon, who had thought that all celestial practitioners could improve by one rank, was shocked.
The grand ideals and aspirations of Gwak Yeon, who had just been established, were immediately struck down. They were the children of heaven. No matter how hard they tried, how could the mugwort catch up with the growth of the seedlings?
“There’s no need to be discouraged. As I said before, there is no such thing as the strongest being in this world. There is no such thing as an invincible being. You are all practitioners of the Heavenly Path that I have raised through the Heavenly Path, but if you cultivate the belief of invincibility, there will be no upper limit to your fighting power. Do you know why the Sword Master is called the best practitioner of attack?”
Yongjin asked.
“I don’t know.”
Kwak Yeon shook his head. Everyone said that, but among the tens of millions of people who practice swordsmanship, only a few become true swordsmen.
“It is said that in the mythical age, there were gods, and all who believed in them were looked after by the gods. Among the gods in the legend, there was a swordsman who loved swords. He performed a sacrifice with his own body, praying that all who practiced swords would receive the protection of the divine spirit, and that wherever the swordsman’s blade pointed, a strong energy that would surprise even gods and demons would be emitted.
After fulfilling that wish, Geomshin offered his own body as a sacrifice to the sword. His body and the longsword were both disintegrated and scattered throughout the ten worlds, adding his energy to all those who practiced swordsmanship.”
Yongjin said.
“There was originally a myth that it had the protection of a god, so the swordsman was the best attacker.”
Only then did Kwak Yeon make an expression that showed he had finally realized something.
Yongjin shook his head.
“How can you believe in all the myths and legends? But if you believe in something, miracles will happen. When Akjabong was in confusion, I told him that the sword he was holding was his friend, his teacher, and his faith. I told him that if you believe in the sword, it will bring you wonders.
At my words, the guy quickly realized his swordsmanship and cut down the idiot with one stroke before he could enter Mangoro. After killing that man, Akjabong became a truly fearsome swordsman. Akjabong believes in his sword. As long as he believes in it, his longsword will grant him infinite power. I don’t know if the Sword God actually exists, but I do know that if you have enough faith in your heart, all miracles are possible. Gwakyeon, you are the commander of our Dragon Blood Corps. You should take the lead and develop your own invincibility, but you still lack confidence.
If you exert your full power, you can fight even if you meet someone like Bloody Yoo or Hwang Gunmo. You will even have a chance to kill them. There is no need to feel inferior. Besides, you are an artificially created second-rank Heavenly Warrior. You should be proud of your terrifying fighting ability. People should have confidence. And anyway, you will soon become a third-rank Heavenly Warrior, so why should you be afraid of them?”
Yongjin took out the Cheondo fruit while smiling.
There were three different divisions in that heavenly path. That was the third-rank heavenly path. If Gwak Yeon could just open this heavenly path, he would immediately become a third-rank heavenly practitioner.
“Oh my god, really?”
Kwak Yeon looked at Yong Jin with a surprised expression.
“Haha, that’s right. I can kill the Heavenly Traveler and make the Heavenly Fruit. So… Haha, you know what I mean without me saying it!”
Yongjin laughed. It was the first time he had told someone about his abilities.
Yongjin didn’t say anything about the Heavenly Sword. If this absurd ability were to be revealed, Yongjin would be the target of pursuit.
Kwak Yeon’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Haha, then the army I command from now on will be the most fearsome army in the world. I’m truly amazing!”
“You will be successful in the future, so don’t act all cool. You are a person of status now. I will give you a degree in heaven, so first, Yeonhwa…”
“Captain, give this to Song Myeong-won or Lee Gi. I have the power to protect myself right now, but those two….”
Kwak Yeon thought that those two people needed the Heavenly Path more than he did.
“It’s okay. I have three Heavenly Swords right now, so you can give me one. And I’ll give you one more Heavenly Sword, so if you meet even one of them, give me the third-rank Heavenly Sword. The rest are only second-rank Heavenly Swords. I’ll keep these. Maybe I’ll be able to meet my people too. This way, the odds will be higher. So don’t worry about the future. We have enemies everywhere, so we’ll have enough Heavenly Swords to not be able to use them. Oh, and one more. I have something for you.”
After Yongjin finished speaking, he took out a huge wooden barrel. Gwakyeon’s eyes widened when he saw the wooden barrel.
“Captain, this is a treasure.”
Kwak Yeon gulped when he saw the wooden barrel. The clear scent of the liquid tickled his nose. Just smelling it made him feel good and refreshed his whole body. If this isn’t a treasure, then what is?
“Be careful not to spit into the container. This is Taebumshinyeok. It removes impurities from the body and strengthens the foundation. It is a rare treasure with endless uses. I will give you five containers first. But don’t drink it now. Later, when you are closed in a place where there are no people, drink it while softening the Cheondogwa. Then, you will see great results.”
Yongjin said.
After handing the Taebeomsinyeok to Gwakyeon, Yongjin took out another map and handed it to Gwakyeon, asking him to write it as Yuyeongok. This was the most detailed map that the old chief had given to Yongjin. Such maps were like rare treasures here.
“Okay, this is all my income. Now take out what you earned.”
Yongjin said.
Kwak Yeon said with an embarrassed expression.
“Captain, I’ve been wandering around for so long, but I’ve found nothing. I’ve killed many people, but nothing of use has come of it.”
Kwak Yeon’s face grew hot. While he was in the secret palace, Kwak Yeon had not done anything proper other than pretending to be cool and learning the capabilities of the Golden Armor.
“I was talking about stuff dug out of a cesspool.”
Yongjin corrected Kwakyeon’s misunderstanding.
“Oh, there it was! I forgot about it.”
Kwak Yeon hit his head with his hand. Excitement spread across his face as he thought of the treasures he had found in the cemetery.
