Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 888



Only Noblemtl

888====================

True empty hometown

I decided to take a look at the situation now.

First, I decided to check if my body and drinking capacity were okay.

During that time, I had used Fuxi’s magic, the Sealing of the God’s Blood Pillar, to make myself invincible, so unless the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors came in person, no harm would come to me. However, since I had been sealed for a long time, my body might have become stiff.

And I could feel an incredible power surge through my body. I was greatly astonished by the vast spiritual and divine powers that existed within me.

“No…?! Isn’t that the power of Jeon Wook? And even the spiritization… How did I obtain this power?”

It is true. This divine power is that of Jeon-wook. I have seen Jeon-wook from afar when he came to see his master, Master Fuxi, and the nature of the power is exactly the same as that of the dark giant.

Besides, what is the thunder power of the enormous qi energy stored in the body? And the eyes with powerful spiritual power? Why is there something like a magic treasure in my bosom? And why am I carrying a sword? I never use a sword… .

I was confused and then suddenly looked up in front of me.

“… … !!”

Isn’t this me!

What the hell is going on?

Aren’t I still in a sealed state as a blood lord? Am I not just now being released from the Taehogyeol (太皞決) blood lord?

I felt like something was fogging up my head, so I held my head and let out a groan of pain.

“Ugh… .”

I’m forgetting something. Something very important… I’m forgetting… .

…I don’t know.

No, what was important now?

Yes! What is important to me right now is the management of this vassal plan. After all, if there is a bloodline in front of me, then the seal is maintained, right? In that case, what I, the highest elder of the heavenly realm, the South Pole Sun-ong, must do is to check if the other bloodlines are safe.

[Hey! What’s going on? Why did you turn into that guy?]

Below, the roar of the evil spirits is heard.

I glanced down at the palace and spoke to ask about the situation.

“The horse of chaos that has been rampant since time immemorial, the evil palace! Are Kang Ja-ah and King Mu-wang Hee-bal still doing well here? And is the ancient seal still maintained?”

[What the hell are you talking about! You were supposed to defeat the Blood Lord and save us from the Primordial Heaven!]

What are you talking about?

That evil monster!

“You are talking nonsense. The bloodline must be protected. That is for the good of all.”

[Inoooooooh…! How dare you insult me!! Die!]

Wow!

The angry palace spirit suddenly spread its black wings and rushed at me, breathing a breath of chaos. A breath of that power would certainly be enough to destroy an ordinary immortal if it even touched him. However, I am the disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Lord, the Southern Heavenly Lord!

Archery is no match for me!

“Antarctic Seven Lights!”

If I call upon my special treasure that is kept in the Jade Void Palace of Heaven, you will be defeated in one blow! If I have the Seven Lights of the South Pole, I can easily escape even if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors appear!

But even though I shouted the summons, the Jewel of the South Pole Seven Lights did not come to me. I was so surprised that I let out a despairing sigh.

“What the heck is going on!”

If I should come when the master calls, how can my private jewel not even pretend to hear the call?! It is connected to my soul!

Quagmire

While I was panicking, the breath of the palace spirit attacked me. I covered myself with the breath of chaos, but since I had a lot of experience fighting chaos, I was able to protect myself with the South Polar Armor in an instant. I was able to take the palace spirit attack without getting hurt, but I shouted in anger.

“Inoooooooooh…!! You little bastard!! Die!”

Divine arts

The great light of the heavens!

Jejejeok

At that moment, as time and space froze, Gungi’s entire body was pierced by countless rays of light, and he was instantly frozen. It was a divine technique that would freeze the opponent with absolute extreme cold even if only a single ray of light was pierced. As expected of a chaos monster, Gungi tried to escape while twisting his soul in the middle of the frozen time and space, but I clenched my fists.

Pakang!!

[Kuaaaahhhhh…!!]

The body of the palace spirit was shattered along with the ice. No matter how much you say that he is an evil spirit, he is still a distant descendant of chaos. How can he defeat me, who was taught by the Three Emperors, Fuxi?

While I was happily watching the palace spirit disappear, I suddenly had an unexpected thought.

“Ugh! This spell can’t be used for 100 years once it’s used… and I can’t believe I’m using it against that guy!”

In addition, it is a sorcery that requires a year of recuperation because it uses too much divine power. Fortunately, because this body has an enormous amount of divine power, it did not run out of power, but stopped right before reaching rock bottom.

Now that I’ve taken care of the palace, I should go and see the other bloodlines.

“Let’s go to Princess Yonggil!”

Paat

I flew to the sky to see Princess Yonggil, a celestial noble who had become a blood lord. She was frozen in place just as she had been in life, and likewise, she had become a vassal blood lord, so no matter what anyone did, no one could touch her. As I looked at her, I thought something was strange.

‘The bloodline is completely undamaged. How did this happen…?’

Should I go see the remaining bloodline, or should I go and ask Kang Ja-ah? Since that child was in charge of the internal barrier, he would definitely know the most about this situation. Without looking at the remaining one, I headed straight to Oryun-dong (五輪洞), where Kang Ja-ah was.

When we arrived at Oryun-dong, I saw a house that seemed to be where Kang Ja-ah lived. I shouted.

“Come out here!”

“… … .”

The door to the hut opened with a creaking sound, and a sage with a stern expression walked out. He spoke with a look of pain in his head.

“I’ve seen all sorts of things. How on earth did something like this happen?”

“Kang Ja-ah. I was suddenly released from the bloodline. What on earth happened?”

Kang Ja-ah looked at me with cold eyes and said.

“You’re not free. You’re just not the South Pole Lord. You’re a fake.”

what?!

This insolent bastard…!!

“You damn gnome…!! Where did you get up to talking such nonsense! Even though you are nominally a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Lord, haven’t you been under my teachings for a long time?! Do you dare to destroy the knights!!”

When I got excited and screamed loudly, Kang Ja-ah slowly shook her head.

“As I said, you are not the South Pole Lord. The real one is still sealed with the magic of the Blood Lord, and the situation has not changed at all.”

“What…?!”

“Your magic seems to be a dangerous magic that can even consume the spirit of the main body. Even I, if I were not the owner of the Tashinpyeon (打神鞭), would never have noticed your magic, so I think it is a magic that has reached the realm of the gods.”

Kang Ja-ah, who had been speaking calmly, pointed the end of the piece of paper she was holding at me and spoke.

“You are by no means an ordinary being. As the disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Lord and the one who will complete the plan to vassalize, I will destroy you.”

no?!

Are you really trying to attack me?

I said, shaking with fear.

“This… this guy. You’re pointing your sword at me! If there’s a sword in the Sect, then there’s a sword in our Sect. How could you point that divine-level treasure at me!”

“Enough acting. If you don’t release your transformation, you will die on the other side.”

“Acting, how could it be…!!”

That was the time.

‘performance?’

Thump

At that moment, all sorts of memories began to bloom like a cloud in my head. Everything I knew was turned upside down, and thoughts and memories all collided.

And slowly, as the memories of ‘Antarctic Sun-Ong’ began to fade, my true identity began to surface in my mind.

“… … .”

Yes, I am Baek Woong.

Swish!!

The moment I regained my memories and recognized my identity, my appearance changed from that of the South Pole King to that of the original Baek Woong. I staggered from the tremendous mental shock and fell to the ground, vomiting.

“Whoosh, woosh, woosh!!”

You, your masked presence is too strong!

In the case of the Iron Blood Gate, he was confused for a moment and then quickly came back, but this time, if the other party hadn’t given him a clue, he would never have come back! I could have forgotten that I was Baek Woong and continued living as the South Pole King!

‘Identity confusion…!!’

Was it really that scary?!

If you wear the mask of a mere human, even if it is the mask of the abyss, it is not that confusing, but if you wear the mask of the South Pole Lord, who is one of the most powerful beings in the world, you will feel like your personality is being devoured.

The great sage known in the world as Taekongwang, who was watching me vomit, said:

“I don’t know who you are, but what is your intention in invading here? Where did you come from?”

“… … .”

“If you don’t answer, I will kill you.”

I stood up, wiping the vomit from the corner of my mouth.

“Taigongwang. I am a human named Baekung. My colleagues and I are currently attacking the Queen Mother of the West in order to destroy the heavens. We are still fighting.”

“… … .”

“I must eliminate the bloodlines here and release the power of the Ancients into the world to defeat the Queen Mother of the West. Please help me.”

Only then did Taekong Wang speak with a look of understanding on his face.

“I see. So it was you and your group that invaded Heaven, assassinated the Twelve Great Immortals, and challenged the Queen Mother of the West.”

“You are inside here, but do you know what is going on outside?”

“I have placed the yang god here and the yin god in the heavens to carry out the will of the three heavenly realms. I also know the external situation.”

So does that mean it has two bodies?

This is the first time I’ve heard of such a technique, but it’s probably a secret technique that Taekong Wang learned from the Primordial Heavenly Lord.

‘So, even though you are inside the original heavenly plate, you can still participate in the water offering ceremony…’

When Taekongwang was summoned, it was his yin body that participated in the offering ceremony, and his yang body, which could be called the main body, had not moved at all for thousands of years within this primordial heavenly plate. However, if the yin body alone could claim to be the great immortal of the heavenly realm, Taekongwang was by no means an easy being.

I glanced at the treasure in Taekongwang’s hand with a nervous face.

‘Tashinpyeon.’

According to the memory of the Southern Ocean Lord earlier, that was a truly dangerous treasure. Its power was on par with the Four Treasure Swords, and it was said to have possessed ‘powers that immortals should not have’ from the beginning. It was said to be the strongest treasure among those made by the Primordial Heavenly Lord, and it was also the driving force that allowed Taekong Wang to defeat Dalgi during the Silver Zhou transition and establish the Western Zhou as the ruling empire of the Central Plains.

Even the powerful Antarctic Lord was so scared because he had no answer against the Tashinbyeon. I gritted my teeth and said to Taekongwang.

“Then you also know that Samcheong was ambushed and destroyed?”

I asked just in case, and Taekong Wang nodded heavily.

“…I know.”

He was the only one who knew the truth that even the Nine Heavenly Women did not know. I was so shocked that I shouted.

“But why did you keep quiet for thousands of years and not tell the other immortals in the heavens about the tyranny of the Queen Mother of the West and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?!”

Taekong Wang responded to my words.

“Because nothing will change even if I say so… Don’t you know that even if all the immortals of the heavens attack you, you will all be annihilated by the Queen Mother of the West in the end? Looking at the current situation outside, my thoughts are being proven…”

“… … .”

“Considering the nature of the Queen Mother of the West, there was little I could do.”

Taekongwang seemed to know everything about reality. It was clear that he also knew that the Queen Mother of the West was an incarnation of Nüwa. Otherwise, he would not have said such a thing.

“It may have been different when both Fuxi and Samcheong were alive, but now I know of her tyranny and cannot stop it… That’s why I negotiated with the Queen Mother of the West.”

“Negotiation?”

Taekong Wang continued speaking.

“This vassal plan was something that everyone had agreed upon with the Queen Mother of the West before the assassination of Samcheong, separate from the tyranny of the Queen Mother of the West. Sealing the power of the ancients was a separate matter from the assassination of Samcheong. Therefore, I made a pact with the Queen Mother of the West to keep all secrets from the heavens and to keep the two gods here forever, and to never interfere with this inner world.”

“Hmm.”

“I’m done talking. Your actions will be treated with impunity, so take your comrades and leave this world immediately.”

He also seemed to be aware of the fact that I and Jegal Yu-ryong had entered the Primordial Heavenly Plate together. I told him.

“Aren’t you expecting us too? If not, we could just kill you here and now, but if you send us here on purpose, you must be expecting us to defeat the Queen Mother of the West.”

“That’s just a guess… .”

“You can defeat the Queen Mother of the West. Really.”

“Are you saying this knowing that her true nature is that of the Three Emperors?”

“Of course.”

Taekong Wang opened his eyes wide as if shocked by my subsequent words.

“That’s why I even offered the Seven Yo to Bango. Thanks to that, the law of causality is blowing for us in this world.”

“… … !!”

“We are betting the biggest of our lives. Please help us.”

“Such a reckless thing….”

For a moment he looked as if he had forgotten what to say. Then after a while he said:

“Do you know what it means to release the power of the ancient humans?”

“I don’t know for sure. My colleague, Zhuge Liulong, was a strong advocate of it….”

“Although not as powerful as the first power sealed by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the ancients were also powerful beings. If we were to release them, the seal on their bloodlines would disappear and the bloodlines of the people of this world would be filled with great supernatural powers, throwing them into chaos.”

“… … .”

“The current human race is so weak that it can be said that it is less affected by chaos. If it gains power by being weak and attracts the attention of [the old ruler], the current heavens will not be able to control or protect humanity. The world will be swept away by the turbid currents and civilization will perish.”

“but.”

I said, looking at the spaceship.

“What good will such words do when the world is destroyed? What good will five hundred years of false peace do when the overwhelming end comes?”

“If we can’t stop the apocalypse, it would be humane to at least give them a little bit of happiness.”

As Taekongwang held on strong, I gritted my teeth.

“No. The truly human behavior is to struggle. Struggling because you don’t want to die, because you don’t want to perish, that’s what it means to be human.”

“… … .”

“Master Taigongwang. Please fight together. If not now, there is no other chance to defeat the Queen Mother of the West. We must release the power of humanity into the world to gain the strength to defeat the Queen Mother of the West.”

That was the time.

Kuuuuu…!!!

A huge roar echoed through the sky. Taekongwang’s face seemed to harden.

“Oh, White Bear.”

My face also hardened at the words that followed.

“Just now, the Queen Mother of the West has killed half of the Eight Guardians….”
