Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 944
Only Noblemtl
944====================
True empty hometown
In order to steal something that doesn’t exist, you must first make the thing you want to steal exist.
In order to do that, you must first realize its existence in your own mind.
That is the greatest thief technique of all time, the absolute technique, and the fundamental principle of Mansangjitu.
But – this is when you steal the existence of impermanence. There is an object that can be stolen so blatantly, and above all, the case of an enormous size is something that Shinto Jijon did not teach you separately.
So, until just a moment ago, I was just feeling gloomy about what to do, but a plausible idea just occurred to me.
‘If it’s important to realize it in your mind…’
If you perceive that ‘size’ to be small, wouldn’t it be possible to steal it?
If it is something that cannot be [stealed] because of its [size], then isn’t there a way to steal that [size]?
If we can make the soul smaller, we can somehow absorb it into the apostle’s arm.
I had never tried this kind of application before, so I thought it was like gambling. However, I had an epiphany when I saw the application of the free-spirited Shintujijon just now.
The ability to erase the boundaries between the tangible and the tangible is ultimately the ability to master imagination. If you decide to [steal] something and in what way, the applications are endless.
Ss …
I recalled the teachings of the past great master in my mind.
[Martial arts also have life and heart. For the best thieves like me, the sound can be heard and the heart can be read…]
[It is easy to steal something that exists. Because it exists. However, the will attached to that thing makes it difficult to steal. Then, you have no choice but to read the flow of that will and mind and find a loophole. That is the ultimate theft in my opinion, and the method of stealing something that does not exist.]
I concentrated my mind before using the Divorce Law to pull the hundred. If I tried to pull the soul of such a huge [Old Ruler] without much thought, there was a possibility that my physical and mental strength would be exhausted just by the attempt. However, if I delayed too much, this moment would end and the opportunity would disappear, so I felt anxious.
‘Can you hear me?’
Shintujijon said that in order for Mansangjitoo to display its peak ability, one must ‘listen’ to the flow. In fact, I could vaguely feel the flow while writing Mansangjitoo. However, Shintujijon’s realm was as if it could be heard naturally without even being conscious of it, so I could not reach it. There may be differences in innate talent, but I strongly felt that it was Shintujijon’s realm.
Normally, it would be impossible to reach the realm of the divine master in this moment. Even if my divine powers were up to his chin, they would still fall short when it comes to the abilities of a true thief. In order to make up for that deficiency, tremendous training would be required.
Still… I have to do it.
‘Hmm… maybe the premise is wrong?’
Suddenly, it occurred to me that the act of ‘concentration’ I was doing was wrong.
Why do we focus?
It is an act of gathering scattered minds into one and concentrating power. In other words, this is also a function of the will (意念) in a broad sense and is a basic step. However, since I have already acquired the will and am connected to the energy of all things, artificial concentration can actually be detrimental. Above all, when Shintujijon cast Mansangjitu, unlike me, he did not concentrate.
But paradoxically, what brings out the best efficiency in all actions is concentration. Without concentration, it is impossible to achieve good results for the goal. As I thought about this, my mind became entangled with thoughts.
Why did you think concentration was harmful?
In an instant, I realized what I was feeling uneasy about.
‘…Yes!! That’s because there is a limit!’
Shintojijon said that he had the talent to hear [everything]. That meant that he didn’t have to concentrate in one direction. When you focus on one thing, it’s natural to neglect everything else, so his talent was the complete opposite of concentration.
In order to steal the impermanent, the caster’s mind must not remain in the impermanent! The key lies in keeping one’s own thoughts open so that one can communicate with this world!
‘Musangjitu is the development of the innate talent of the new master and its sublimation to the absolute level! Naturally, the successor to Musangjitu… must steal that talent and make it his own!’
The great success of Mu-Sang-Ji-Tu begins with stealing the ‘innate talent’ of the best fighter!
If the disciple does not steal the master’s talent, the transmission will never end!
Woohoo
At that moment, I felt as if the dantian of heaven, earth, and man was pierced in a straight line. As I realized that I could exert my will in a realm beyond concentration, my body, which had been transformed and strengthened, began to respond to my mind.
Wooooow!!
Resonate. The upper dantian trembled first, shaking off the wisdom of heaven, the middle dantian exuded a majestic momentum and opened up the six ends of the earth, and the lower dantian sank, embracing the essence of man. In my eyes, the essence flowed gray, and the tangible energy rose above the sea like the sun.
This is the power of a transformed body.
The perfected power of creation was creating a body optimized for martial arts regardless of the level of internal energy. If it were just the output of internal energy, the original body would be much stronger, but in terms of efficient operation of the body’s energy, blood, and heart, etc. without any waste, the transformed body was overwhelmingly better. If this body were to accumulate the same internal energy as the original body, the transformed body would be able to unleash overwhelmingly powerful power.
Swish
The moment my body’s harmony reached its peak, my thoughts became intertwined with the magnificent energy emanating from my body. At that moment, I slowly stretched out my hands and felt the illusion of all the energy being sucked into my upper abdomen.
‘Listen…’
Pfft!
I clasped my hands together, imagining the talent of the new god.
The moment my two palms met, I was overcome by the illusion that a huge thought was stirring and creating a huge pillar of light connecting the heaven and the sea and the self.
Wheeing!!
A cool breeze blew in, as if it was cleaning the surroundings. And I could feel the voice of [the world] not only in my ears but also in the pores of my entire body and even in the minute parts of my body. I muttered in this strange state that I had never experienced before in my life.
“It was something like this…”
The talent to hear the sounds of all worlds.
‘Shintojijon… He was a much more humble person than I thought.’
This talent is truly the strongest in the world of martial arts.
Looking at the sight that was before my eyes at that moment, I thought that Shintujijon’s talent might have surpassed Jinsocheong’s during his prime.
And I could see that in everything in the world, the lack and the knot were swirling and forming yin and yang. I knew that the state of artificially imitating the talent of the Supreme Being would not last long, so I quickly cast Mansangjitou.
Steal the soul of God.
But that is impossible unless you reach the divine realm.
So what I can do with all my might is – steal that [size] and make it smaller!
Pfft!
‘Tch… can’t it be done in one go?’
It was reduced to half its size, but it was still huge. I couldn’t delay any longer, so I had no choice but to move on to the next step.
I used the Divorce Law with one hand and pulled the spirit of the divine soul. Since the spirit cannot be pulled by itself, the fundamental principle of the Divorce Law is to move the spirit surrounding the spirit by making it interact with each other and pulling the spirit. And as I pulled the spirit from the divine soul, I could see the apostle’s arm crackling and screaming.
Drop!
Crackle!!
‘Ugh.’
It hurts so much!
This magical arm was also an apostle’s power, so it would never physically disappear, but it was just being pulled and twisted like a twisted eggplant by the pressure of spiritual power. It wasn’t pulled properly, but rather, it was just made into a white thread and attached here and there, and yet it was in this state.
‘Smaller!!’
I casted Steal with my other hand before my stamina was drained any further.
Pfft!
Let’s steal [size] again, this time it was reduced to less than 30% of its previous size. Once I reduced its size once, the next attempt was much easier. I could feel the twisted arm slowly returning to normal, but I knew it was still too big to steal. Even so, it was still as big as several mountain ranges overlapping each other.
‘Huk… Huk…’
I felt like my bones were breaking as sweat poured down my entire body. Even though I had held on to what could be called the weight of a god for a while, the pressure was too great. However, I couldn’t give up here, so I gritted my teeth and casted Mansangjitou.
‘This is the last one!’
The final thought!!
I’m at my limit physically and mentally!
At the same time, the pillar of light on my head cracked and shattered, and I cast my last Mansangjitou, sucking the soul of the god with my magical arm.
Kugugugugu!!
Kookookook!!
I felt my soul being sucked through my arm at an incredible speed. And I could hear Dharma’s voice in my ear.
[ Oh my… This can’t be… Really… You did it… I can’t believe it…!!]
” ……”
[ Leave it to me now…]
Swish!
Swish!!
As Dharma began to use his magical power in earnest, his magical arm swelled up enormously. The arm, which had swelled to more than twenty times the size of my body, continued to grow, and I said in surprise.
“Hey, why is this getting bigger?”
[ I didn’t do anything in particular… Maybe you did something… ]
At that moment, it occurred to me that I had stolen [size].
‘ … I see. ‘
Was the size scale that had shrunk as much as the size of the soul was stolen just attached to me? It seemed that the size of the magical arm, which was the entity that was sucking the soul, had been amplified since it was not specifically designated. The magical arm could not be called my body, so there was no particular problem with it growing this large, but I felt a slight chill.
‘Ugh… If I steal [size] with my normal arm, I’ll turn into a giant.’
I can’t even imagine what kind of side effects there would be if the physical body were to grow that large. It’s not a useful application of the free-spirited method except in special cases like this. I guess I was lucky.
Shhh….
As the last piece of soul was being sucked in, something was pulled out of the god’s soul and shot out, emitting a bright light into the air.
Wow
[I am the forcibly joined half of the sun god, his yang god, Quetzalcoatl! Are you the one who freed me?]
” … ok?”
[I am grateful for your kindness, and I will repay this favor in the future.]
A bird of light that was emitting a brilliant five-ray of light flapped its wings for a moment and then dug into my chest like a wedge.
“Huh!”
I felt a little pain and staggered to my chest, but I couldn’t quite figure out what had happened. There was no trauma, and I felt like a spiritual being had possessed me, and I felt like I needed to ask Master Dharma.
” ……”
I looked around in silence.
The battle was over. The battlefield where the divine beings had clashed just moments ago was now starting to see the tidal waves recede, and the sunset was beginning to set on the distant horizon. Watching the red sun sink into the water, I suddenly summoned my sword and tried to shine the sun on that day.
Chewing
As the sun shone on the dark blade of the sword, I felt a pang in my heart. At the same time, my arms began to feel numb and painful.
‘It’s not a mistake after all…’
Earlier, when I was fighting with the celestial sword, I felt my arm hurt every time I used Musou Pae, and I could tell that it was some kind of rejection reaction. The celestial sword that had turned black had become a different ‘something’ from the celestial sword I used to use, and it would cause a rejection reaction whenever it came into contact with the power of yang. It wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t stand it while fighting, but the risk would increase in the future.
What happened to me?
I muttered as I stared at the sunset with my arms crossed.
“What do you know?”
There’s no reason to worry about that anymore.
I’ve died more than once or twice, so what does it matter now?
Now that I have overcome a major hurdle, I will move forward without looking back.
If there’s anything that stands in my way, I’ll cut it down!
Sunset Island!
Chook
At that moment, my will arose and created a huge pillar of light that connected heaven and earth. The pillar of light gradually became thinner and thinner, like a single solid line, and in the next moment, my will became a sword that split the red sun beyond the horizon in half.
The split sun did not stick together for a while and slid down.
Thought split the world apart.
And I laughed, convinced of one thing from this one day.
Now I am in absolute state.
