Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 891



Only Noblemtl

891====================

True empty hometown

When I suddenly changed the subject, Zhuge Liulong’s eyes lit up. Then he said:

“Xiang Yu hasn’t even participated in the Battle of the Queen Mother of the West yet, and we can’t do whatever we want with his will. Why are you acting capriciously now?”

“If we continue like this, we’re finished. But before that…”

I said while glaring at Zhuge Liulong.

“You… there’s something you didn’t tell me? Tell me everything you know!”

Bloodline and the eternal wall, Zhuge Liulong only talked to me about the important things after entering the Primordial Heavenly Plate. I had no choice but to infer the situation based on the information Zhuge Liulong gave me, and this was no different from being dragged away like a dog with a leash. Zhuge Liulong said calmly.

“The thing you must aim for when entering the Peach Blossom Land is the Blood Pillar. I heard that there are three pillars that support the Peach Blossom Land. Those pillars are called Blood Pillars, and if you can destroy those Blood Pillars, you can lift the ancient curse of Samcheong that is doubly hanging.”

I interrupted Zhuge Liulong’s explanation and grumbled.

“That’s right. And the bloodline will have the reverse Eight Trigrams engraved on it, right?”

” ……”

When Zhuge Liulong’s face hardened, I growled and said.

“Listen carefully. I’ve already escaped death once because of you. I’ve already suffered a loss. We were enemies, but I came here, wasting precious time and opportunity, believing that you would fight faithfully! Even while my comrades were fighting to the death in real time, I pinned my hopes on your scheme!”

” ……”

“You’re still trying to use me by hiding the truth even after coming all this way? Are you kidding me?!”

“… Could it be that you used your power as Jeon Wook’s disciple? That’s…”

“That doesn’t matter!”

I grabbed Zhuge Liulong by the collar, and the gazes of Zhuge Fu and Baekho next to me became sharp and they exuded murderous intent. However, I paid no attention and gritted my teeth.

“Do you know what’s inside there? There’s a divine-level treasure and a transcendent-level immortal! If you had told me earlier about the danger and what kind of strategy they were going to execute inside, I wouldn’t have bothered to turn back time! Are you still thinking about hitting me in the back of the head?”

” … is not so.”

“No, that’s what it looks like! If it comes out like this, I can’t trust you anymore.”

I quickly shook off the hand that was grabbing my collar and turned my head.

“I will summon Xiang Yu and deal with Tai Gong Wang in my own way. You do as you please. Our alliance is now over.”

Slowly, slowly

As I turned around and started walking away, Zhuge Liulong shouted.

“Wait a minute, Baek Woong!”

He said as I stopped.

“I sincerely apologize. Please forgive me.”

Slap

The sound of kneeling. When I looked back, Zhuge Liulong was kneeling with his head bowed. Zhuge Fu was shocked, but he continued to speak with his head on the ground.

“I’m sorry for hiding my schemes and plans. However, I didn’t think you would allow me to summon the [Old Ruler]. I wanted to break the seal at once, even if it was a bit difficult, so I couldn’t tell you.”

” … Really?”

“Yes. I absolutely did not intend to deceive you.”

I thought about it carefully.

‘I still can’t believe it. There’s a good chance that that isn’t true. But…’

When I thought about it with my head slightly down, it would have been a loss for me to have cut ties with Zhuge Liulong just because of my emotions. Of course, there was no reason why I couldn’t do it, but I felt that Zhuge Liulong still had a major secret to conquer this heaven. I realized what that secret was, and decided to accept Zhuge Liulong’s apology.

“Okay. I’ll forgive you. Get up. And I have something to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“Can I rent a Saturday Bagua Chart?”

Zhuge Liulong nodded to my question.

“Of course. However, since you can’t just take Saturday out from inside the Primordial Heaven Plate, you need a sacrifice of your own. It’s definitely not something that can be taken out with just one spell.”

“A sacrifice?”

“As a renter, I must pay rent to God. Even though I am a priest, I can never do it naked.”

As he spoke, Zhuge Liulong’s gaze briefly swept over Baekho. Baekho didn’t seem to notice, but I could quickly infer the situation from his gaze.

‘I see!’

Zhuge Liulong’s plan was to drive Baekho wild and turn him into a sacrificial monster, and at the same time, to use the sacrifice to borrow the Saturday Bagua Sword from the [former ruler]! Since I was sealed in the divine Taegeuk Sword, I couldn’t see the subsequent developments, but Zhuge Liulong had probably already summoned the Saturday Bagua Sword or was ready to summon it at that time.

In other words, all of Zhuge Liulong’s plans were established under the premise of offering the white tiger as a sacrifice. This is why I can understand why he couldn’t tell me his plans hastily for fear of offending me.

I looked at Zhuge Liulong with complicated eyes and said.

“Taegongmang, the manager of the Primordial Heavenly Plate, is a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Lord and can use the treasured Sambo Yeouiju and Tasinpyeon, as well as the divine art Taegeukdo, one of the three great magics of the celestial world. He is clearly a being greater than the two sages, and may even be on par with the Samcheong in his prime. Can we seal his divine art Taegeukdo into the Saturday Baguado?”

“I can’t give you a definite answer. I actually didn’t expect that the Shinsul Taegeukdo would be in Taekongwang’s possession. I had planned to seal it up to the Tashinpyeon with the Saturday Baguado, but the Taegeukdo…”

Judging from the way Zhuge Liulong was speaking, it seemed to be true. If he had known that even the three great magics of the Immortal World were Taekong Wang’s, he would not have come here just like this, and at the very least, he would have brought Miho or Seomunhye with him.

‘Hmm. It seems like a contradiction.’

The Saturday Palgwaedo has already sealed the liberated Monday. However, the three great magics of the celestial world, such as the Yeongjin Foilsul and the Sihaejisul, were powerful enough to even work against the [Old Ruler].

Could the Seven-Yo and Saturday-Eight-Gwaedo, which could seal all magic, really seal the three most powerful magics in the celestial world? It was truly a contradiction, something that could not be known without trying it out.

I said to Zhuge Liulong.

“Then, as soon as you enter, prepare to summon the Saturday Eight Trigrams. And I will bring Xiang Yu as I said. We will break through by combining the power of Xiang Yu and Saturday.”

“Is it okay?”

“A person who is not human will not be treated as human.”

I believe that any kind of human sacrifice should not be done, but Baekho is different. Just a moment ago, didn’t he barely hold back when he tried to tear my mouth open alive by humiliating me? I can’t unconditionally show leniency to Baekho, who is a born evildoer.

“Good. Be sure to bring Xiang Yu.”

“And now tell me about the bloodline and the eternal wall.”

” I get it.”

Paat

I heard a more detailed explanation from Zhuge Liulong, and as soon as the explanation was over, Zhuge Liulong and his party entered the Primordial Heavenly Plate. I immediately flew into the sky and started jumping towards the place where Xiang Yu was. Now that Black Bear was gone, rather than awkwardly using the Shukji Technique, it would be much faster to use all my internal energy and physically jump as if I was flying.

Pavabat

I was finally able to arrive at Xiang Yu’s palace. As I entered the palace, I found Xiang Yu still drinking wine while the table was lavishly laid out.

” ……”

As expected, it was as expected, but did he really not move even a single step?! I looked at Xiang Yu with dumbfounded eyes.

“What is happening to the King?”

“My lord Xiang Yu! We have invaded the heavens, so fight as promised. We urgently need your help.”

” joy…”

Xiang Yu snickered and drank his wine in one gulp.

“The King keeps his promises and keeps his word. But you are too suspicious.”

“What are you saying?”

“If you can’t find Woohee in the original heavenly realm…? Your empty words had no basis. And I thought that there was no need to be swayed by your thoughts, weighing on my heart.”

” ……”

“I will fight when I want to fight. Don’t force me on the king.”

It is understandable to think so. The fact that we might be able to find Woohee through the Primordial Heavenly Plate was something that we did not know for sure, and no one could guarantee it. From Xiang Yu’s perspective, there was no reason to help us blindly.

But I smiled instead.

“I came here to talk about that anyway.”

“What are you talking about?”

“We found the primordial crater and were able to enter it.”

” ……”

“I originally wanted to ask you to fight the Queen Mother of the West, but you said you didn’t want to be forced into a pointless fight, so wouldn’t it be better for you to find out if our story is true?”

Xiang Yu looked at me with strange eyes.

“Doesn’t the fact that you’re bringing in the King mean that there is a strong enemy in the Primordial Heaven that you cannot handle with your own strength?”

” … I won’t deny it. It’s beyond our power to handle.”

“Huh… Okay. Let me fool you just once.”

Iron grumble

As Xiang Yu stood up, the sound of his armor chains rang out. Xiang Yu folded his arms and said.

“Guide me.”

” yes.”

Paat

I took Xiang Yu and arrived at the Primordial Heavenly Plate. I thought it would take a long time, but it didn’t take as long as I thought. And before I arrived at the Primordial Heavenly Plate, I said.

“Please take care of the space net.”

” I get it.”

“He can use the divine treasure Tashinpyeon and the divine art Taegeukdo, so he can even seal gods in the void. You have to be careful of his art…”

Xiang Yu became irritated.

“You talk too much. How does the King know?”

” oh…”

Phew

Xiang Yu said nothing more and quickly entered the Primordial Heavenly Plateau. I quickly followed Xiang Yu in, and as soon as he entered, he stared at something beyond the foggy village and said.

“There are three big ones floating. What are they?”

Are you saying that you can instantly recognize three bloodlines in the midst of a dreamy illusion?!

It’s said that he was able to see through the entire world of the Primordial Heaven in one breath, but how on earth?!

I felt astonished at Xiang Yu’s ability, but I answered calmly.

“This is the bloodline that forms the Primordial Heavenly Plate. The things floating above the bloodline are the outer wall, and when the outer wall disappears, there seems to be something called the Eternal Wall inside. When the Eternal Wall is destroyed, the souls of the Bongsinbang that are sealed inside will come out, and when all of those souls come out, the power of the Ancients will be released.”

“There’s no need to explain it in a complicated way. Anyway, what I’m saying is that you just have to break it all.”

“Yes, that’s true, but…”

“Let’s break one first.”

That was the time.

“You have come from outside. Did the Queen Mother of the West send you?”

A young man wearing ancient clothing was walking across the fog. Of course, I knew that the child’s true identity was Gong Qi, one of the evil spirits of the ancient times. I thought I could pass the story smoothly this time, but Xiang Yu said to Gong Qi.

“Does a demon dare to ask about the king’s procession?”

“What… you’re the king?”

The palace guard smiled twistedly, looking in commotion.

“Haha… Are you saying this knowing that I’m a goner? I treated you politely since it’s been a while since I’ve seen a human, but how dare you! I guess I’ll have to tear your limbs apart and ask you questions.”

“This is what the King has to say. Die!”

Xiang Yu raised his voice coldly and then rushed at Gong Qi.

Kwakwagwang

[Ugh, keaaaahhhhhhhhh.]

It was a momentary thing. Gong Qi transformed into his own body and tried to block it, but Xiang Yu’s one-handed blow shattered his body and sent his limbs flying in all directions. Gong Qi’s body crashed into the rocky mountain with his torn wings, and Xiang Yu approached the bloodied Gong Qi, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up, saying:

“Where is that guy named Taekongwang?”

[ Oh… Oh… In Oryun-dong…]

“Okay. Guide me.”

At that moment, a ray of blood flashed from Xiang Yu’s eyes, and at the same time, the blood flow from Gong Qi’s shattered body rose into the air. Then, Gong Qi’s shattered limbs flew to his main body and began to attach themselves, and soon Gong Qi was able to stand up, staggering.

[ Ugh… freak… monster…]

“……!!”

What the hell is that?!

It was a fresh shock to me, who thought that Xiang Yu’s power was only for destruction. Was it possible for him to heal what he had destroyed? I was extremely surprised, as this strange ability was something I had never seen before in my previous life.

After a while, we spread our wings and rode on the back of the flying archer and started heading towards Oryun-dong. I was intimidated by Xiang Yu’s power, who treated the ancient demon beast, Sikhyeong, like a pet in an instant, but I gathered my courage and asked Xiang Yu.

“Your Majesty, how did you heal the wounds?”

“Is there any reason for the King to tell you that?”

” ……”

“You just need to know that it is the power of the constellations.”

The power of the constellations.

It seemed that Xiang Yu could draw out one of the many constellation powers he was born with and use it as a healing ability. And the reason he had not used it until now, or rather, the reason we had not seen him use it, was simply because there was no need to do so.

When we arrived at the Oryun-dong moat and the palace guard landed, Xiang Yu glared at him with cold eyes and said:

“Sit still, I have to ride again.”

[ ……]

Although he was treated like a horse, Gong Qi did not make a sound and just sat quietly in a nearby tree. Xiang Yu walked into the mausoleum, opened the door, and said.

“Is the Taikongwang there?”

Taigong Wang was seen reading a book in his room. He glanced at Xiang Yu and said:

“Your Majesty, what brings you to the Primordial Heavenly Plateau?”

They seemed to be old acquaintances. After all, Xiang Yu had been in Heaven for over a thousand years, and Taigong Wang was the oldest active Great Immortal in Heaven, so it was impossible for them not to know each other. Xiang Yu stared at Taigong Wang and said.

“Do you know where Woohee is?”

“I think I’ve heard this question before. At that time, the Nine Heavenly Women were leading all the Great Immortals to subdue you who were causing a ruckus, and I was also there.”

“Answer the question.”

“I don’t know. If I had known, I would have told the King of Chu with human affection. I also feel sorry about that.”

“Can I find Woohee by using the Primordial Plate?”

” ……”

At the last question, Taekong Wang glared sharply at me, who was standing next to him, and said:

“You have deceived Xiang Yu.”

“Taikongwang. Answer the question. There will be no next warning.”

At Xiang Yu’s cold words, Taigong Wang sighed and said.

” … it might be possible.”

“Good. Go find Woohee in the Primordial Heaven right now.”

“It’s impossible.”

” why?”

“If it were to return to its original form, it would be able to use search powers that would surpass even the national seal, but it is currently being used after being converted into a sealing sphere. Right now, the original form cannot use that power.”

Xiang Yu nodded.

“Then die.”

Kkwang!!

Xiang Yu launched a counterattack and attacked Tai Gong Wang. At the same time, the terrain changed dramatically, the nearby mountain ranges were blown away, and the sky shook. In the midst of this natural disaster, I quickly regained my balance and found Tai Gong Wang’s location.

‘Did he die from one blow?’

But that didn’t seem to be the case, and after a while, the figure of Taekongwang appeared in the distant sky together with the Jewel of the Three Jewels of the Yeouiju. Taekongwang shouted a great lion roar from afar while surrounded by the five lights of the Yeouiju.

[ Xiang Yu! You are a descendant of a constellation that should not exist in this world! If this is also your fate, then as the successor of the Primordial Heavenly Lord, I will destroy you with my divine whip.]
