Episode 75 – Birth

A chair that is so motionless that you might think it’s dead.

In fact, it was natural that the stool was motionless as if it were dead.

But as someone who knew that this was no ordinary folding screen, I was extremely embarrassed.

“······I can’t even get into the bathroom.”

Moreover, it was impossible to confirm the dam fire.

Not only the Taoist chatrooms, but even the chatrooms of other immortals could not be entered or checked.

It wasn’t just an error, it was a really ‘stopped’ function.

“How much did you actually get back in refund?”

Honestly, I couldn’t even guess how much I got back.

First of all, it seemed certain that the maximum conversion limit had been exceeded. That meant that it had exceeded at least 9,999 months······.

“Surely it won’t be 9,999 years?”

Hey, no way.

No matter what, it couldn’t have been 9,999 years.

······But isn’t that true?

If you think about it, this merit was multiplied several times over through rewards.

And the seed money······ No, what can be called the ‘seed virtue’ was the virtue of the senior immortals.

It included the merits of Dharma, as well as the direct involvement of Jongli Kwon.

I haven’t heard how much Jongli Kwon extorted from Dharma.

However, it is said that Jong-Ri-Kwon took out all the anger he had from being ripped off by Dharma over the Zen question and answer bet, so it is by no means a small amount.

“no way.”

Even so, I thought it was impossible, but did they say that Seolma catches people? Not long ago, I wondered if it would be 9,999 months or not, but in the end, it was 9,999 months.

···When I thought about it this way, it wasn’t an entirely impossible possibility.

Rather than just guessing, I could have checked with Taesang No-gun, but since all of the functions of the scroll had stopped, I couldn’t contact Damsobang.

It was a shame, but… I guess I don’t have to worry about my life. If I do what I have to do, things will get better or recover on their own.

“I guess I just have to teach the later indexes.”

I put the folding chair back into my bosom.

The elders of the Murim Alliance.

As the Murim Alliance was an organization formed by the union of several political factions, key figures from each faction were positioned as elders.

So, the elders of the Murim Alliance usually meant the first or second elders of each sect. And these people were in charge of the Murim Alliance’s cabinet and were actually leading the Murim Alliance.

Of course, there was absolute power in the form of a leader, but since the Murim Alliance was an organization that was created through the ‘union’ of several political factions, the leader could not make all decisions unilaterally.

So, if you look at the factions of the Murim Alliance as a whole, you can say that the two factions called the ‘leader and elders’ are the core.

So, whenever the ‘Martial Arts Alliance General Assembly’ was held, the leader of the martial arts alliance, Deung Gwang-hyeok, would have a headache to the point of rotting.

The Moorim Alliance General Assembly could be said to be the highest meeting of the Moorim Alliance that introduced and passed related agendas by handling all kinds of incidents and accidents that occurred in the Moorim.

The agenda passed at this general meeting was immediately applied as the order and law of the martial arts world, so it could be said to be the highest meeting of the martial arts world, not just the martial arts alliance.

And recently, there was only one agenda and topic discussed at the general meeting.

“So, what do you plan on doing with the Hwalongdaehyeop?”

Cheongun.

To be exact, it can be said to be a ‘check’ on Cheongun.

Although he beat around the bush, it was nothing more than a show of restraint to bring down Cheongwoon, who was a rising star and a thorn in everyone’s side.

but···..

“What can you call disposal…? What could there be?”

“Yes, that’s right. To someone who sees it, it might sound like we’re trying to cause trouble.”

Right now, he was just rolling his eyes and watching, which was natural.

“Oh, Your Majesty···”

“I think you may misunderstand…”

Next to Cheongun was none other than the ‘Emperor.’

Not long ago, the Martial Arts Alliance was also put on high alert as the Emperor himself was visiting.

Deng Guanghyeok and the elders all gathered to welcome the emperor, and the emperor left after saying just one word.

-I don’t plan on getting involved in the affairs of the martial arts world, but if it’s related to Cheongun, I won’t just consider it as a martial arts world matter.

To put it simply, it meant that he would not let anyone off easy if they messed with Cheongun, but Deung Gwang-hyeok was so dumbfounded by those words.

‘This is why······.’

How could something like the leader’s position be noticed by Cheongun? With the emperor standing right next to him, something like the leader’s position was out of the question.

That is why it is virtually impossible for Cheongun to assume the position of leader in the future.

However, Deung Gwang-hyeok did not particularly feel sorry or resentful about it. No, he felt regretful, but he did not feel resentful at all.

Rather, the opposite could be said.

“Ugh···.”

“Ugh···!”

The accumulated stagnation was quickly relieved by the sight of the serpents called elders groaning.

The elders of the Murim Alliance held considerable power in the world of martial arts.

To put it simply, they were rotten flesh that was rotting the martial arts world, but the problem was that they were all members of the Gupailbang and were either 1st or 2nd elders, so they couldn’t be carelessly cut out like Deung Gwang-hyeok.

The elders would always find fault with every single thing that Deung Gwang-hyeok tried to do, saying things like, “This won’t work,” or “That won’t work.”

“Then I will discard all the agendas and proposals related to Hwalongdaehyeop that have been brought up so far.”

However, the elders were not only defeated by a single word from the emperor, but also destroyed all the plans they had made to control Cheongun.

That’s understandable, because what can they do?

“Yes, yes.”

“Actually… we had no intention of touching Hwa-ryong Daehyeop.”

All I can do is groan and grumble, like a dog chasing a chicken and looking up at the roof.

Deng Gwang-hyeok felt as if the chronic illness that had been going on for hundreds of years had subsided, and he could feel the exhilaration of having the constipation that had been bothering him for months resolved.

“Then I will continue with the Hwalongdaehyeop class.”

As expected, no elder opposed it.

It was a completely different appearance from last time when he was furious and shouted in opposition to the news that Cheongun was teaching the later indexes.

“Furthermore, I will allow other disciples who wish to learn from Hwalong Daehyeop to enter the Moorim Alliance.”

As expected, no one objects to the elders.

Deung Gwang-hyeok smiled slightly to himself.

The term ‘late index’ refers to the next generation of long-term leaders.

As time passes and generations change, this means that the current generation of later generations will rise to the position of ‘elders’ leading Sega and the Sect.

And through the last discussion on swordsmanship, Deung Gwang-hyeok was able to vaguely feel what Cheong-un’s martial arts pursued and aimed for.

So, the later indexes are being taught by Cheongun.

That you are learning the martial arts of Cheongun, the chivalry of Cheongun, and the beliefs of Cheongun.

The ripple effects this would have were by no means to be taken lightly.

It was no different from the intention of all the great scholars of the world to be with Cheongun and pursue Cheongun’s chivalry and beliefs together.

Deng Gwang-hyeok could feel that the world was ‘beginning’.

I could feel cracks forming in the world that had been rotting away for hundreds and thousands of years and that no one had dared to approach.

Although nothing may change right now.

But, in the not-so-distant future.

It is a not-so-distant future where the current generation is replaced and the later generations rise to the top of the world, and it is a world that Cheongun is creating.

“That concludes the Murim Alliance General Assembly.”

Deng Gwang-hyeok was really looking forward to what it would look like.

* * *

It had already been nearly ‘twenty days’ since the Gupaebang review index and the Yukryongsambonghoe were taught.

It wasn’t a short time, but it wasn’t a long time either, and I had to spend my days very busy, even teaching other reviewers.

Of course, I could not receive the merits of my seniors from them.

But I couldn’t turn away from those who asked for my teachings.

It was not good to teach only by looking at merits, so I taught other disciples with all my heart.

Today, twenty days have already passed.

“It still doesn’t work.”

The folding chair was still not functioning at all. At this point, I thought it might really be dead······.

“······Is it really 9,999 years?”

I was becoming more and more convinced of that idea.

So I focused even more on teaching.

My seed merit and the merit of my senior immortals were what I was able to obtain while teaching the Six Dragons and Three Peaks.

But what if I ignore the Six Dragons and Three Phoenixes?

You may be eligible for a refund of your merits.

So I taught the Six Dragons Three Peaks with all my might, and maybe because of that, I was learning the Six Dragons Three Peaks faster than I thought.

“I thought it would take at least two months.”

That was the first judgment made at the Yongbong branch.

I thought I would have to stay by his side and teach him for at least two to three months.

I thought it might take longer than that, but my concerns were dispelled as the growth rate was truly astonishing.

“Surely, geniuses are geniuses.”

It wasn’t called the review index of Gupaebang for nothing.

There was no rival in the same review index rank, so the reason why he had been so arrogant all this time was not elsewhere.

Even so, his attitude towards me was extremely polite, and because of that, my growth accelerated.

Because I have always been open to the teachings I give.

What I was teaching there was none other than the teachings of the senior immortals, so they accepted my words as if they were almost the truth of the world.

“It’s not that there are some aspects that are a bit excessive, but···.”

Maybe that’s why he now seemed to believe everything I said.

Was it five days ago?

The sunlight was nice and I was having an outdoor class, and my skin was burning black from the strong sunlight. So I jokingly showed him my burnt skin and said this.

– Sunburn is damage to our bodies caused by the sun, which is called ‘starlight damage’.

Of course, it was said as a joke.

It was just a joke thrown in to lighten the tense atmosphere a bit.

But the Six Dragons and Three Bongs listened to what I said seriously and even took notes, so now I couldn’t even joke around carelessly.

I don’t know if this expression is correct······.

“It seems like we are gradually becoming more like the ‘Jangganghyeopgaekdanhwa’.”

Anyway, the Six Dragons and Three Peaks completely let go of their pride and practiced repeatedly, and now that twenty days have passed, I don’t see any part of it that I can teach.

From now on, it is the stage where you must awaken and learn on your own.

My teachings were no longer needed, so I could finally realize that the time had come.

“Should we start heading back now?”

That’s where I should be, as a missionary.

I couldn’t stay in the Murim Alliance forever. I had finished all my work, so it was time to return to the missionary office.

“I also have to practice my skills.”

In fact, even though I was teaching other later indices along with the Six Dragons and Three Spirits, I wasn’t able to practice at all.

I also wasn’t able to learn the Cheon-dun Sword Technique. I had not been able to learn it in the past because I had no virtue, but now it is definitely not the case.

A merit that may even be 9,999 years old.

It was more than enough merit to learn the Cheon-dun Sword Technique.

In order to resist the fate of going against the heavens, and in order to confront the Demonic Cult that decided that it was no longer necessary to hide its existence, I had to learn the Cheon-dun Sword Technique.

Fortunately, the leader of the Demonic Cult, Akjihak, was defeated by my hands.

The plan of Akjihak to massacre the later indices of the Jeongpa faction at Yongbongjihoe was stopped by my hand.

The Demonic Cult suffered a huge blow not only because their plans went awry, but also because they lost their leader. However, it could not be denied that the leader was ultimately a member of the ‘late index’.

There were many more evil and stronger beings in the Demonic Cult than Akjihak.

They will be somewhere planning and executing acts more horrible than the acts that Akjihak was about to commit.

“I have to get stronger.”

I couldn’t stay satisfied with my current level.

So, I had been thinking about going back for about four days.

However, the reason it still remains is because of the later index of Kunlun, Jonalin.

“I’m trying hard to follow along, but···.”

There was so much to teach, and I couldn’t help it because my talent was somewhat lacking compared to other students.

However, it is not something that can be done irresponsibly without teaching them properly.

Leaving everything else aside, it was something that could be repaid with merit.

Since it was the merit of the Nine Heavenly Women that was the most numerous, it was necessary to finish it off and return.

So for about three days, I was almost exclusively guiding Jonathan.

I don’t know if it was because of that, but Jonarin was starting to see the end.

Compared to other latecomers, Jonarin was a talented person who was somewhat behind in talent, but he was also a genius.

It was the one that had the most to teach, so it was the one that had to be the latest. And even that was coming to an end today.

“Let’s go quickly.”

I quickly walked towards the training grounds of the Murim Alliance where Jonarin was waiting.

* * *

Jonarin couldn’t control her trembling heart about her upcoming class with Cheongun.

My heart was pounding faster and faster lately, and the longer I spent alone with Cheongwoon, the more it got worse.

Today, I would have a lot of time alone with Cheongun, so if I didn’t calm down from now on, my heart might explode.

Jonalin took deep breaths repeatedly to suppress her pounding emotions.

Right then.

Suddenly the door to the training ground opened and a noise was heard.

Thinking that Cheongwoon had arrived, Jonarin dressed up nicely and turned her gaze. However, contrary to expectations, it was not Cheongwoon who showed up at the training ground.

Dreamy silver hair that seems to be soaked in moonlight.

Her flowing silver hair gently hugged her shoulders, and it blended exquisitely with her large, sparkling eyes and her face with subtle shadows, creating a striking beauty.

A woman so beautiful that even Jonarin, who is also a woman, would lose her mind for a moment just by looking at her.

Although it wasn’t necessarily because of that, Jonarin could tell right away who she was.

‘Lady Namgung?’

Namgung Yerin of the Namgung Se family.

She was looking around, looking for someone.
