Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 942



Only Noblemtl

942====================

True empty hometown

Change without action!

The black blade of the Immortal Sword passed by, drawing a fine line in the air. At first glance, it seemed meaningless, but its trajectory was the only correct answer that did not allow even the slightest error, and the moment the black blade passed by, Black Hand used the gap to balance yin and yang. And at the same time, the strong curse mass rushing toward that spot was completely annihilated by the power of the Musou Hegemon.

Although there was no sound, I could already feel sweat dripping down my forehead during this activity.

‘It’s so hard to defend against an invisible attack…’

Strictly speaking, this is not a phenomenon like wind or fire, nor is it something like a qigong wave. It was just the will to [curse] that was striking through space and time and flying towards me. Originally, it was an attack that could never be physically blocked, but since Musou-pae deals with the six combinations, it was possible to remove even intangible curses and magic.

However, when I actually tried it, it wasn’t a joke. Physical attacks can be countered with reflexes or senses, so it’s relatively easy to block them with Musou-pai, but conceptual attacks were difficult to detect because they were detected by the subtle movement of my Musou-pai.

Second attack!

‘The unrivaled…’

The yin and yang energies swelled and formed a Tai Chi behind his back, creating a powerful wave of chaos. Then, the power of the wave of chaos was neutralized for a minute, canceling out the attack. Even in my state of being so sensitive that I could feel the fine muscles in my fingertips, I found it difficult to maintain this balance.

Hurrrrrr

The second attack was quite powerful, and after dodging it, I could see the dark energy flying far away on the horizon with my own eyes. Sometimes, when there was an attack that was difficult to completely block even with Musou-pai, it was possible to deflect it rather than forcefully block it.

By the time I had succeeded in the second defense, I could already feel the strength draining from my legs and my energy sapping away. At that moment, I had already sensed the gap in my abilities between Jang Sam-bong and Jin-in to a brutal degree.

‘No… impossible…’

Although he started off with enthusiasm, it was difficult to continuously display the Musangpae, which had a success rate of 100%, without making a single mistake in actual matches. It was a well-known fact that if the failure rate piled up one after another, an inevitable, fateful failure would eventually come. He succeeded up to the second time, but he could never guarantee that he would succeed the third time.

How could Jang Sam-bong Jin-in do something like this all day long?

You’ve never failed even once while performing the Musou-pae hundreds and thousands of times!

He is truly a superhuman. I could never do that.

But it must be done.

I quickly shook off my weak mind and tried to unite my mind and body as one. The teachings of Master Jang Sam-bong flashed through my mind.

[ It’s not that difficult. If you consciously try to use it, you can do it… However, as you know, the Musangpae requires the perfect harmony of the six great teachings, along with the coordination of the Wuwei transformation, the transformation of power, and the realization of the Tai Chi, all at the same time. If there is even the slightest hesitation or reservation in your thoughts and spirit, you are bound to fail. ]

[A strong and unwavering spirit and discipline are essential.]

[If I fail, it will be a result of my shortcomings… I think that is what it means to dedicate yourself to martial arts.]

Musangpae is the ultimate contradiction of practicing both Yu-neung-je-gang and Kang-neung-dan-yu at the same time, risking everything inside of oneself. Also, if the Musangpae fails to cast even once, the caster dies. When asked how he could win this gamble every time, Jang Sam-bong, the true man, answered that he devoted himself to martial arts.

Am I dedicating myself to martial arts now?

I don’t know.

What does it mean to devote oneself to martial arts? I have repeated countless hellish trainings, but I still have no answer to that question. It is not only an abstract question, but also a problem without an answer. It is not just about being lost in self-destruction that you can devote yourself to martial arts.

… Oh, my.

By the way, what is martial arts?

What do you call a mighty force?

However, in this world, there are more powerful and terrifying forces than martial arts. If we consider supernatural powers, innate powers, magic, magic, divine powers, scientific powers, etc., martial arts can never be said to symbolize ‘power’ itself. Martial arts and power are by no means synonymous, and in fact, they can be distinguished from the attributes of martial arts themselves.

‘If I don’t pursue martial arts to gain strength, then why did I jump into the world of martial arts…?’

Tuttertung

In a very short period of time, while countless thoughts were crossing my mind, I was successfully unfolding my fourth Musou-Hae. It was the first time I had unfolded Musou-Hae so many times in a real match. My expression hadn’t changed at all, but thoughts were swirling around in my head like a storm, pounding my heart.

Devoting one’s life to martial arts was a natural course of action for warrior Baek Woong.

The world of martial arts was a crucible of ‘power’ that could satisfy my fantasies, and there was a time when my goal in that world was to gain honor and power. And since there was no other way to improve power than through martial arts, naturally power and martial arts were synonymous.

So what about now?

If martial arts are not strength itself, then why do I still seek the extremes of martial arts?

Why am I trying to knock on the absolute limit?

Supporting

The Immortal Sword roared. There had never been an Immortal Sword that cried on its own before, but I somehow felt that this cry was responding to my heart. And I also digested the sound of the Immortal Sword with the Way of Hegemony of my Musou Hae, and balanced it with the magical power of the opposing arm, sublimating it into Musou Hae.

Phaaaah!!

The waves of curses that were surging as if they would cover the heavens and earth disappeared in an instant. At the same time, the sky, which had become clear and clean, appeared for a moment, and a whirlpool of phantasmagoria began to surge around me. [Old Ruler] Tezcatlipoca was continuously deploying his magic without giving me a moment to rest.

Even in the midst of a life-or-death crisis, my thoughts continued.

‘If you simply build up your strength… you won’t have to challenge the absolute anymore.’

All you have to do is concentrate on your supernatural powers while reincarnating. Gather the power of the constellations as if scraping them back together, develop your yin yang powers even further, and pursue a state beyond the Great Sage, and offer up jewels and treasures to gain supernatural powers from the [Old Ruler].

If I repeat this kind of work about 5 times, I will probably be strong enough to defeat two absolute masters who attack me at the same time. Even if I am not an absolute master, I can become stronger than an absolute master. Although it is an external method, it is true only from the perspective of building up strength.

Yet I have no intention of giving up the arduous journey to the Absolute, even though I have already realized that the Absolute is ineffective in opposing God.

Why?

Are you upset about what you’ve done so far?

After going through all the hardships and coming so close to the ultimate goal, it would be a shame not to take a picture, right?

” ……”

No, that’s not the reason…

If I had not yet been able to let go of the absolute realm just because of that, I probably would not have even reached the highest realm. The path of martial arts is not so easy, and that is not the kind of mindset a warrior can have. The heart that truly pursues ‘top’ feels a bit different from that kind of immediate gain.

Ssuk

I swung my sword and cut through the flame storm surrounding me. This time, I didn’t deploy my Musou Formation because I could get through it without it. Even if it was just a moment of respite, if I could reorganize, I could greatly benefit from the next Musou Formation. As I cut through the flame storm with my sword lightning, at that time, black lumps of resentment from all directions in the heavens and earth took the shape of humans and screamed.

Squeak – !!

I didn’t feel any pain or fear as I watched the black mass of fog flying towards me, surrounding me in all directions as if there was no room to escape.

It just made me think of myself.

[You are the type of person whose ego is too strong… Your mind and body are deeply cultivated, but because of that, it seems like you are struggling to forget yourself.]

Yes… Jang Sam-bong Jin-in told me that my ego was too strong, so he helped me calm it down by forgetting myself and refining my mind. He helped me acquire the Musang-pae by imprinting the completed Musang-pae on my subconscious.

Even now, I am still suffering from extreme agony because I cannot forget myself. I felt ashamed of myself, but I also found it strange.

What is the boundary between self and non-self?

The boundaries of my previous experience have blurred my boundaries. Perhaps it is because my proficiency in Musou-pae is increasing, but even as these distracting thoughts linger, I can skillfully unfold Musou-pae without any hesitation.

Wow!!

The moment I shook off the palm of my hand according to the principles of Tai Chi, the dark fog disappeared on its own. The clear, crisp air enveloped me again, and a cool breeze swept through my hair.

‘Why… even the hand of magic resonates with the flow of energy.’

Originally, the magical hand received from Master Dharma was a pure mass of magical power, so it was difficult to release or control the energy with this hand. However, now, it was possible to cast the Musou Sword by changing it from the yin to the yang stance.

Something is changing inside me…

Could it be that this has always been inside me?

Saaaah

I began to dance the sword dance without realizing it. It was the Hyegeom (慧劍) stance that I had once seen in a duel between Jang Sam-bong and Yeo Dong-bin. With the first step, I announced the start of the dance, and my body moved along with the flow with elegance.

Sixth. Seventh.

Eighth. Ninth.

The tenth…

‘No… this is not the Taegeuk Hye Sword.’

I realized this fact when I successfully completed the tenth Musangpae in a row. I was dancing and neutralizing all curses with each step, and I thought that the movement was Jang Sambong Jinin’s True God’s True God’s Sword, the Taegeuk Hyegeom. I mistakenly thought that I had reached the realm of the unconscious and had naturally attained enlightenment. However, when I thought about it carefully, this movement could never be called the Taegeuk Hyegeom.

Rather, it is another martial art that I have already learned.

I felt dumbfounded when I realized the identity of that martial arts.

“Thunder God Sword Dance!”

The final stage of the Brain God Swordsmanship!

The Brain God Sword Dance that he learned from Dokgo Seong was undoubtedly a martial art of the ideological stage and was powerful, but it was originally a martial art for ritual use and was only suitable for the qualifications of the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

But why am I holding a celestial sword and dancing to the Brain God Sword Dance?

Wheein

The yin of the left step and the yang of the right step drew a transparent circle and overlapped each other. And then, from the overlapping boundary, another circle was derived and continued to extend the path as if showing me the path I should take. As if in a trance, I cast the first form of the Brain God Sword Dance and moved forward in a state of trance.

Sword thunder dances.

And as the dance reached its climax, something was blocking me and I felt like I was losing strength. I couldn’t quite figure out why this suffocating feeling was coming on, but eventually I figured it out.

[The point is how freely you can handle the Thunderbolt. When the Sword Thunder moves in response to your will even when you are still, you can say that you have mastered the Thunderbolt Sword Dance.]

Oh, I see.

‘Lightning.’

I need the power of lightning.

The most powerful force in the world, lightning, must respond to me and help me.

Flash!!!

As soon as I thought that, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky through the raised sword and charged me with electricity. I couldn’t tell if it was a coincidence or what, but it must have been caused by the thought I had shot toward the sky.

I felt an invisible energy coming towards me along with the sword.

And then, without a moment’s hesitation, I literally charged up that formless energy and stabbed the water snake in the head with my sword.

Pushup

The water snake’s crown was pierced like a tofu. However, it was only to a certain extent, and it certainly could not penetrate the scattered head. Perhaps this was the limit of the power of the normal brain sword dance.

Chijijijijijik

At that moment, I felt my entire body transform into a mass of thunder spirit. The formless energy that spread through the sword enveloped me and naturally led me to the state of being overwhelmed. I opened my eyes halfway as if it were my duty to do so and straightened my posture, and after a while, I had an unbelievable experience.

The White Lotus Sect

Heavenly Thunder God Martial Arts!

A name for the temple that seems to have already been made by someone rings in my head.

Kookwakwakwakwang

My body completely transformed into a thunder spear itself and immediately pierced Tezcatlipoca’s head! It seemed as if a light spear that pierced through heaven and earth was blooming along with millions of white lotuses.

The power of lightning pierced his head like an awl in an instant, and the light shone like a ray of sunlight across the horizon. And after the momentary development, I could see that my body was in the waters of the ocean.

Gulp

[Kwaaaaah!!]

Late, I heard the agony of [the old ruler] from outside the sea. Listening to that cry, I could be sure that I had succeeded in dealing him a fatal blow. However, before I could feel joy, I realized one thing.

‘That was just…’

It was a sure thing.

It felt like the spirit of the god of thunder had been unleashed.
