Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 929

929====================

True empty hometown

It’s fake.

I glared at Dharma sharply and said.

“What does ‘yesora’ mean?”

[ ……]

Dharma was silent for a while and then opened his mouth.

[Baek Woong-yi. Rest at the main school today. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.]

Swish!!

As soon as Dharma finished speaking, he turned into mist and disappeared from that place. As expected, his form was human-like, but his essence was that of a being who had reached the pinnacle of magical power. As Dharma disappeared, a one-armed monster named Hyega, one of the disciples behind him, walked out and spoke.

“Your Majesty, please follow me. I will show you where to stay.”

” ……”

Actually, that is not necessary. Since my internal energy has already passed the peak several times, no matter how severe the exhaustion, it will be completely recovered in one hour at most. There was even a time when I ran across the continent for seven days and nights. My body already did not need much sleep or rest, but I slowly nodded my head at Hye-ga’s words and stood up.

As I followed Hye-ga, a shabby moat appeared. It was a place so shabby that it was unimaginable for the White Lotus Sect in our world. There was a musty smell, as if there was a place to relieve oneself nearby. Hye-ga said, putting one hand together in prayer.

“Then rest comfortably…”

“Wait a minute. Hye-ga!”

I said to Hye-ga.

“If you are a disciple of Dharma, do you also know what Dharma wants?”

Hye-ga nodded calmly in response to my question.

“Of course…”

“Do you know that he is trying to create a law that will destroy this world, the universe?”

“It’s my first time hearing about the Dharma, but… I know the purpose.”

“Do the other disciples know too?”

” yes.”

“And yet you are following him?”

Hye-ga seemed to smile faintly at my words. It was a comfortable smile that warmed the hearts of those who saw it, so I could tell that his study of the mind was extraordinary. He answered my words with deep eyes.

“This world is all suffering and despair… If there is not even a single ray of hope or salvation… In the end, what humans end up choosing is to pursue material pleasure and become immersed in reality, or to give up everything and wait for death… However, our teacher, Dharma, showed us a third way.”

” ……”

“If everything is truly destroyed and a truly empty homeland is formed… a world of supreme bliss will arrive.”

” … there is no guarantee that will happen.”

I muttered skeptically.

Yeah… there’s no guarantee that will happen.

Because in our world, Dharma failed. We do not know if the Dharma of this world and the Dharma of our world are the same being, but in any case, Dharma created the Dharma, but he could not see the Dharma completed and realized. This is because the ten thousand gods intervened and poured a tremendous curse of 5.67 billion years on him, causing Dharma to disappear and the Dharma to be shattered and scattered throughout the world.

Hyega said.

“When I look into your eyes, I feel the image of someone who has overcome countless hardships and adversities. However, beyond that image lies an unknown chaos… I think I understand why the Master wants to talk to you.”

“Why did Dharma insist on staying for a day? This conversation could have ended right away.”

“I cannot dare to guess what the Master means.”

” ……”

“If you wish, you may take a look around our Baekryeon Church. That too must be the Master’s will…”

” … Do you know the person called Shintujijon? Have you ever heard of that name?”

Hye-ga shook her head at my question.

“There isn’t any…”

Hye-ga left after saying those words. I sat in the gloomy and shabby room and thought.

‘What should I do?’

I don’t know why Dharma doesn’t kill me right now. I think it has something to do with the fact that the Four Great Gods are fake, but I still can’t figure out his intentions for sure. There must be some reason for giving me a day’s time and a reprieve.

No… That’s the bigger problem.

‘The God of War is definitely here.’

The rainbow serpent said he would send me to the place where the Divine Lord was. And since I happened to arrive at the White Lotus Sect, there must be a Divine Lord here. If so, the Divine Lord must be among Dharma or his five disciples.

There is no way that Dharma is the best.

Even if the Shinto Master is reincarnated through the magic of reincarnation, his power is comparable to mine. Since Dharma’s power has already reached the level of the [Old Ruler], he is not the Shinto Master. If so, it is highly likely that one of the five disciples of Dharma is the Shinto Master.

However, I cannot rashly cast the Divorce Law on five of my disciples to find out who is the Divine Master. The Divorce Law is an extremely evil method, so Bodhidharma will not forgive me for casting such an evil spell on his disciple.

‘Tch… I should have told the story of Shintojijon properly.’

I should have told Dharma about the Shinto Master and that I wanted to track him down. However, it was a difficult topic to bring up when we had just met and were both on guard.

‘I can’t help it. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.’

I stood up from my seat, thinking that I should talk about Shintujijon tomorrow.

As Hye-ga said earlier, I thought I should take a look around the inside of this Baekryeon Church.

Tadot

I used my divine method to fly and jumped around the White Lotus Sect. And when I had made a full circle, I could see that this place was different from the White Lotus Sect in our world, just three or four villages huddled together. There were no powerful beings like the White Lotus Sect leader, Dharma guardians, or saints. It was just a village where ordinary believers who purely believed in the White Lotus Sect gathered together.

However, the castle walls built to protect against external invasions seemed to be still there. I stood on the walls and thought for a moment before looking towards the village of Susinryu in the past.

‘Is there a separate village of receivers in this world?’

Paat

I went to the place where the village of the Sensei Spirits was, using my memory. Originally, in our world, it was a closed place like a fortress, and inside it was filled with the grimoires and secret archives of the Sensei Spirits. And when I arrived at the place I remembered, I could see that the village of the Sensei Spirits did not exist, and instead, I could see strange mountains and caves.

“Hmm…”

At first glance, it seems out of place, but in fact, that mountain also seems to have existed in the original world. The village of the Streamers had carved out the mountain itself and made it their base. It seemed that the terrain was largely the same, except that it had not been artificially trimmed. I jumped up and went inside the cave.

As I entered the cave, I felt like I was walking on a path that seemed to have been made by humans. Even then, the path was blocked to prevent me from going too deep into the cave, so I used my martial arts technique to create a hole inside using vibrations.

Kugugu Palace

As we entered the cave, there was a huge, artificially created cavern. I remembered exactly where this place was.

‘This is the place where the stone coffin was.’

I remember it for sure. Originally, there was a highly refined altar in this place, and hundreds of flames were flying around the altar. I remember that those flames were spirits, and the White Lotus Sect leader released them to feed them. There are still no spirit flames flying around this place.

And when I saw the stone box in the common room, I finally let out a sigh.

“… Hmm. The Altar of Heavenly Darkness…”

Yes, that’s right.

This place must be the altar of Cheonam.

[ Then, by chance, I discovered and deciphered an ancient document inscribed with the Bimangrok (備忘錄) of Dharma Master Dharma. Then I learned that there were ancient ruins hidden inside this mountain, and I came here with all my might. It was all purely out of a thirst for knowledge.]

[ And so I discovered this altar of heavenly darkness. ]

[Dharma patriarch created the Dharma of the Unborn Mother with the help of foreign gods, but the power of chaos was so strong that it was scattered to all corners of the world. Dharma patriarch also passed away at that time. However, in order to ensure that the White Lotus Sect retained at least one last piece, this altar was created before the Dharma was completed.]

[ I have lived here for a long time, and have gained great power by interpreting the Dharma…]

It was a story I heard directly from the White Lotus Sect Master. In the past, the White Lotus Sect Master had obtained the Secret Record of Dharma and learned of the existence of the Cheonam Altar. He lived and ate nearby and interpreted the Buddhist scriptures. The White Lotus Sect Master’s incredible power was something he had cultivated and awakened to since then. In other words, the basis of the White Lotus Sect Master’s power!

And inside that stone box, the most powerful and highest-grade magic book, the Water God’s Magic Book, was sleeping in the form of a scroll. When the magic book and the altar’s magic power were combined, the pressure was so strong that I even fainted.

” ……”

I wonder if the Grimoire of Receiving is still inside me?

After pondering for a while, I walked briskly to the top floor of the altar of Cheonam. And when I stood in front of the stone box, I realized something strange.

‘Huh? Unlike that time, I don’t have any headaches or feel any pressure at all…’

It was a strange feeling, but I tilted my head and opened the stone box anyway.

Squeak

When I opened the stone box, there was a scroll inside that I had seen before. I realized that the scroll was none other than the book of the scribe and grabbed it. And I could tell that far from fainting, I felt nothing at all.

‘Has my magic resistance gotten stronger?’

Is it because of the power of the sound?

But that doesn’t mean I don’t feel the overwhelming magical power I felt back then. The gap is too large to say that I overcame the resistance with the power of the yin yang.

Why did I faint then and not now?

I wondered why there was such a difference, but for now, I put the receiver’s book of magic into my bosom.

Woof!

At that very moment, Dharma appeared in front of me through teleportation.

“Ugh!”

[ ……]

Kuung

When he stared blankly at me, I felt a sting and quickly put the magic book of the receiver back into the stone box. Then I smiled awkwardly.

“I was just looking to see what was there…”

[ As expected, you are a being who was active in a later era than me. This altar of heavenly rock that I created in secret even from my disciples… Did you come here as if you knew about this altar that no one but me knows about in advance?]

” ……”

[ That means you have used the altar of Cheonam. ]

That’s correct.

When I was at a loss for words, Dharma spoke.

[ That’s good. Since there’s no one here, I think it’d be better to finish what we were talking about earlier. ]

“Huh? What do you mean?”

[There were many ears listening there, so I couldn’t talk to you rashly.]

As he spoke, Dharma stared at me and slowly pulled back the large hood that had been covering his face.

Bipedal face.

However, it was not a complete biped, and its face seemed to be half human and half animal.

Rather than being vicious, it felt like an alien form, a sense of incongruity, said Dharma.

[ Let’s talk assuming you are the same being as me. How do you plan to save the world? ]

” … Hmm.”

I thought deeply about Dharma’s question and then said.

“Actually, I still don’t see a way out. Even though I think I’ve tried very hard… I don’t know how to overcome [the End] and [Revelation]. For now, I’ve just come to find the Four Great Gods to overcome my own singularity.”

[ Revelation? What is that? ]

When Dharma asked me a question, I tilted my head.

“……? Don’t you know? There is a time when the [Hugongrok (虛空錄)], which foretells the coming of the great [Father], descends to this Earth, and what happens then is called [Revelation]?”

[ ……]

“The [old rulers] remain in this world to hear the revelation…”

When Dharma heard my words, he froze as if shocked.

And then he said, as if he was astonished.

[There is no such thing in the world…!!]

“Huh? None?”

[ Yes. The [revelation] you mentioned does not exist in our world. [The end] exists, but such a special event does not exist.]

“No way…”

[ It’s true. ]

I was shocked by Dharma’s subsequent words.

[This world will be destroyed in the seventh month of the year 1999. This destruction has nothing to do with [Father] or [Heungrok]… It is simply the whims of the terrible [Old Rulers]. How could the circumstances of the destruction, where the stars howl and chaos engulfs the world, be so different?]

“……!!”

[ I see… It wasn’t just the timeline that was different. Maybe this was the result of what I had planned…?]

Dharma, who had been muttering like that, finally looked at me and said.

[Baek Woong-i. Please help me with your power. If you do so, I may be able to return the Four Great Gods to you.]
