Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 926

926====================

True empty hometown

Wheeing

The primordial celestial plate created a path, emitting a strange black light. I looked to see if the path extended into space, but it simply went toward the sky, and there was no way to know from inside the prison.

‘I guess I have no choice but to move.’

I just had a fierce battle with the incarnation of Dharma, so my mental strength, energy, and physical strength are all depleted, but there is nothing I can do about it. My energy will be replenished by moving, and the rest can only be filled with my guts. I knew that there were times when I had no choice but to move, even if it was difficult, so I poured my inner energy into my hands and broke the chains.

Pakang!

After I broke all the chains, I lightly pushed the bars to the side with my fingers. Then, the bars snapped like tree branches and snapped in one piece, and I strode over the bent bars and out.

” ……”

“Hmm. I have a question.”

I spoke to the three guards who were standing guard outside my cell, frozen. They were shaking with their spears drawn, probably because the sight of them pushing the iron bars apart with their fingers was unfathomable. I said.

“Maybe the new god…”

“Yeah.”

Boom!

One of the guards gritted his teeth and thrust a spear into my neck, and I was hit. I could have avoided it with my eyes closed, but I deliberately took the hit. And my self-defense device, which could withstand the tension of the White Lotus Sect leader, could not be pierced by a spear blade that had no internal energy, and it did not even leave a mark.

I frowned and grabbed the spear blade with my fingers, then used my sword to knock the guard holding the spear off balance and make him fall to the ground.

Kuung

The guard who stabbed the window ended up hitting his head against the wall and passed out.

“I was going to ask if you knew about ….”

“Heeeeek!!”

“Don’t waste your time. Just answer my questions and I’ll let it pass without causing any harm.”

The other two nodded as if the fallen man was the warden.

One of the guards answered my question.

“I’ve never heard of anything like Shintojijon!!”

“Hmm… So what era is it now and what is the state of the world?”

” that…”

Soon, the guard said that this was the Liang Empire, and that the one who had imprisoned me was the Soyeon Emperor, and that there were other empires, the Northern Wei and Eastern Wei, competing for hegemony. I frowned when I heard the detailed explanation.

‘I was wondering if it was the North-South Dynasties period, after all. The history is almost the same as our world.’

The Southern and Northern Dynasties period refers to the period when the Jin Dynasty was torn apart by the Western Jin Dynasty, the Sixteen Kingdoms period began, and even that period ended, and when huge dynasties were in conflict between the south and the north. The powers that held sway in the south of the Yangtze River were usually called the Southern Dynasties, and the north was called the Northern Dynasties. After a period of chaos when the Northern Dynasties were divided into the Northern Wei and Eastern Wei, the first Sui emperor destroyed the Southern Dynasties and unified all of China. This was history.

‘After the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was established, and the era of Emperor Taizong of Tang and Empress Wu Zetian arrived… That was the era of the Eight Immortals and the era of Sword Master Lu Dongbin.’

If you think about it that way, the sense of incongruity that the people’s clothing was similar to the Tang Dynasty but strangely different can be explained. This is because it can be seen as 4~5 generations before the Tang Dynasty. And if you look at it that way, the time when Bodhidharma is known to have come to the Central Plains is also almost the same as our world. This is because there was a legend that Bodhidharma came to the Central Plains to spread Buddhism to Emperor Soyeon of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

But one thing was on my mind. It was the words of the giant king, Suin, who I had just parted ways with.

[A completely different world, with only similar appearances. Perhaps even the laws of the universe may be completely different from ours.]

It is certainly true. I had a hard time making a cool judgment because I wanted to catch Suin, but I could already feel with my whole body that the [Law] was different. The fact that [Martial Arts] did not exist in this world supported his words.

In the world I lived in, martial arts had been passed down since ancient times. Martial arts existed even during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Xiang Yu also learned Wang Zhao’s secret martial arts. I didn’t know who the founder of martial arts was, but it was obvious that the martial arts lineage had been passed down for thousands of years, so it didn’t need to be explained by anyone. That’s why I never even thought about a world where martial arts (武林) didn’t exist.

Woof

I felt a sense of wonder as energy flowed through my body.

‘ Qi flows through this world just fine. So why haven’t martial arts been created? Even if they don’t necessarily train in martial arts, if there’s a genius with outstanding Qi, they’ll eventually be able to figure out how to utilize Qi. It doesn’t make sense for martial arts to not exist when Qi exists.’

It would have been understandable if Qi had not existed, but it was strange. Even the incarnation of Dharma that fought me looked amazed when looking at the martial arts techniques I used.

If it were Zhuge Liang, he would have dismembered the people in front of him and counted their organs to find out why this happened. His theory was that you could tell if they were the same species by dismembering them. However, I didn’t think I would go that far, so I sighed and continued to ask questions.

“Does the world of martial arts exist?”

“Oh, no…”

“Then have you ever heard of sorcery or sorcerers?”

“Uh… Are you talking about a fortune teller…”

I kept questioning the two guards for about an hour. As a result of the questioning, I was able to confirm that not only martial arts, but even magic did not exist in this world. In the world I lived in, magicians were extremely rare, but it was recognized that they clearly had power somewhere, so this situation was different from this situation where they were completely ignorant of magic itself. In our world, even ordinary people were aware that magicians truly displayed strange powers.

‘A world where there is no martial arts or magic, but magic exists.’

It was a really strange feeling. I thought about it carefully and then said.

“Then do you know who is known as the most knowledgeable and intelligent person in the world?”

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty.”

“Are you talking about the Emperor Soyeon we saw earlier?”

” yes…”

Listening to the guards, Emperor Soyeon was an emperor who had mastered all the world’s knowledge and polished it to an excellent level, and was renowned as a wise being. The evaluation of history also acknowledged that Emperor Soyeon was everything to both empires, so it was understandable. Emperor Soyeon was one of the most outstanding monarchs in the history of the Central Plains. However, Emperor Soyeon was now brainwashed by Dharma, so there was nothing he could ask.

That was enough information gathering. I put the guards to sleep by tapping their blood transfusions, then started boiling and escaped from the prison.

Pfft!

I frowned as I realized that the boiling wasn’t working properly.

” … It doesn’t work.”

Even though I had come out to the surface, this was the hill where I had first arrived on Earth with the Giant King and Suin. No matter how much I tried to think of other coordinates, I couldn’t move, so I ended up here. And then I thought about the law of boiling.

You can go anywhere, but you can only go to places you’ve been to before.

So does that mean that all the places I’ve been to in this world are ‘unbefore-visited’? As the Giant King Suin said, this Earth in this outer space is a completely different world, so all the coordinates that were marked on the skylight seemed to have disappeared.

Wheeing

I braced myself as I watched the path of black light emanating from the primordial sky.

“Yes… I’ll go even if it means going to the ends of the earth!”

First, find the God of War and then think!

Boohoo!

I leaped into the sky and soon followed the path using the airwalk. I could have seen the path of black light from the ground and run, but there was a high probability of making useless contact with the surroundings. However, after flying for a while, I felt that my internal energy was gradually decreasing.

‘I guess I can’t fly infinitely since I’m not a member of the Heavenly Spirit Corps…’

In addition, the empty space step itself is a rising martial arts technique that consumes concentration. While I was thinking about what to do, I pulled up my slightly recovered yin jiao power and created black wings behind my back.

Phew

Was it because I had materialized wings with the energy of my soul that had been slowly recovered from my exhausted state? Although it was rough, I could see that black wings had been created relatively stably. I began to fly by moving my wings while conserving my energy, and soon I was able to fly like a bird. This was a much more efficient way to conserve energy and stamina than just running.

Wheeing

After flying like that for a while, I could see the black light’s orbit slowly descending toward the ground. I felt glad to see that orbit.

‘ thank god!’

The fact that the orbit is dropping doesn’t mean that there is a God of War in the universe, but that there is a God of War on this Earth! If so, it is possible to find the God of War at any time! However, judging from the slow descent of the orbit, the God of War seems to be quite far away.

Wheeeeeeing

Wheeing

” ……”

After flying for an hour, I got tired and landed on an unknown mountain range in the south. I sat down on a tree stump and muttered while resting.

“It feels like we’ve already reached the southern coast of the central plains, but it’s still going on…”

Judging from the faint horizon, this was near the southern coast of the Central Plains. However, the black light’s orbit did not change much and continued toward the sky. If that’s the case, then the New Heavenly King does not live in the Central Plains, but somewhere in the southern part of the Central Plains.

I needed stamina to cross the sea, so I sat cross-legged and tried to recover my strength. After resting for about half an hour, when I had recovered some of my strength, I ran to the beach and began to cross the sea using the lightness of the water spirit.

Thump thump thump

This was not the first time he had crossed the ocean. He had used it before to cross the Channel of the British Empire. However, when he went to the southern continent, he had not foolishly crossed the distance using a watercraft, but had used the transmission function of the Tower of Wuchang, so this watercraft could be considered an unknown challenge.

‘It’s slow when you’re on a boat. You just have to jump over the water.’

In fact, it might have been faster to find the Prophet Clan here and use the Tower of Wuchang. However, since there was no guarantee that the Prophet Clan existed in this world, there was a risk of wasting time. I decided to take this opportunity to challenge the limits of my water supply.

Tututuung

‘Hmm. It’s more doable than I thought.’

Could it be because my internal energy and divine law knowledge had increased significantly since my previous 22nd life when I crossed the British Empire Strait? When I used the water meter, there was almost no unnecessary energy consumption, and the friction and recoil were almost completely reduced under my feet. So, although I felt like I had come twice as far as the British Empire Strait, my internal energy consumption was less than half of that time. I thought it was time to take a break here, so I settled on an unnamed island and rested again.

Tootong

I figured that at this rate, I could get to the southern continent today. After a brief respite, I casted the water spell again in succession.

Tututuung

Tootong

How many archipelagos did I cross? I could finally tell that I had reached the southern continent when the sun was setting. The black light was also extending to the southern continent. I was delighted to see the coral reefs and the clear sea, and I landed on land with a somewhat excited feeling. And I continued to run at a tremendous speed following the black light.

Tadadadadot

‘I don’t feel any kind of barrier.’

Originally, there was a large teleportation barrier set up on the southern continent to protect the fire, and I could sense its presence. However, here, there was nothingness itself, with no barrier. After running for a while, I realized that the path of black light was leading to a strange place.

‘Uh… this place feels familiar…?’

Where was it?

I’m sure I’ve been there…

I felt a sense of foreboding and tilted my head, but I couldn’t remember anything at first. And when I reached the mouth of the huge crater that seemed to be a dormant volcano, I could see a path of black light extending into the crater of the dormant volcano.

A dormant volcano.

What the hell is going on here?

Why did the New Heavenly King come all the way to the dormant volcano in the southern continent?

I was confused, but I went inside the dormant volcano. As the terrain became more and more familiar, I felt like memories were starting to come back to me.

Yes, I’ve definitely been here.

But when did you come here… why did you come…

As I continued to follow the dark light, tilting my head, a scream rang out as I entered the cave.

KOOOOOO!!!

Ku-Kung

Inside the cave filled with mucus, a giant toad-like thing with a dozen or so tentacles began to crawl out, flapping its tentacles. It was definitely a biped I had met before. As soon as I saw its appearance, I screamed as memories came flooding back.

“Ah, that’s right!”

I detonated the guard and used the lightning bolt at the same time, killing the toad monster by cutting it into hundreds of pieces in one blow.

Kookwakwang

Thud thud

I was only able to recall my memories after I had destroyed the monster in one blow.

” … Spirit of Death!!”

I’ve definitely been here before.

In the cave inside the dormant volcano, there lived a powerful two-legged monster, and a barbarian hero risked his life to defeat the monster and died. And while practicing the divorce method, I was able to contact the hero’s spirit and grant his request! I also killed that toad monster once back then.

And then, in return for defeating the monster, I was given a very important secret.

The secret about the spirit of death.

[ … Okay. I can tell you the biggest secret I’ve ever kept. It’s a secret I’ve kept hidden until I die.]

[ It’s not a treasure… but it is a way to meet the spirit of death. ]

[We believe that the rainbow serpent created this world. And the spirit of death is the rainbow serpent’s greatest servant, and if you encounter the spirit, you will have the opportunity to meet the rainbow serpent.]

I slowly emerged from the cave, recalling memories of the past that had been hidden away. Then, I slowly began to walk up towards the crater of the dormant volcano.

” ……”

This is a big deal…

I couldn’t stop feeling ominous. It was because I felt that the fact that the God of War had led me here must have symbolized a great disaster.

And after a while, when I came up to a place overlooking the crater, I could see that the black light had disappeared into the dark interior of the crater and was no longer visible. Normally, I would have gone down there even if I had to wear a protective gear, but I didn’t have to do that.

Instead, I recalled my memories and strengthened my resolve.

‘Damn it. It’s life or death…’

This is because in order to find the whereabouts of the God of the New World, it was necessary to perform a ritual to meet the Rainbow Serpent from now on.
