Episode 161: First Steps in the Middle of Heaven

Five beads of strong energy formed at the tips of Gu Hui’s fingers. When he shook his hand, the strong energy passed through the flesh of his enemies.

– Pew pew pew pew pew!

Warriors with holes in their chests, stomachs, and legs staggered around, groaning.

“Ugh….”

“Ugh!”

“Ugh… what, what is it…?”

Their eyes could not tell what had attacked them.

The strong rings that had pierced the bodies of the warriors were still floating in the air. The strong rings that responded to Gu Hui’s gesture shot out like lightning, repeatedly piercing the bodies of the warriors.

– Whaaaaa! Pew pew pew pew! Pew pew pew pew!

Holes opened up in their bodies. Blood gushed out, and their bodies fell to the floor like untied dolls.

“Ugh….”

“Crup… crup….”

The warriors were dying, spitting out blood. Four of them were out of breath, and the leader who had been threatening Gu-hui was still breathing. However, he too was dying because his internal organs were punctured and he had lost too much blood.

Feeling fear, he looked up at the figure standing before him.

Gu-Hui spoke softly with an indifferent expression.

“You gave me a chance. You told me to cut off each arm. Then I could have lived. Blame your decision to choose the punishment.”

“Ugh….”

Gu-Hui’s foot slammed down and shattered the bastard’s head with one blow.

– Kwak! Choaak…

Brain fluid and blood poured out.

It was then. The bodies of the dead warriors turned to ashes and scattered, and in the place where the bodies had been, five green beads the size of half a fingernail remained.

Gu-Hui wondered what that was.

It was amazing that the corpse turned to ashes and disappeared, and it was also amazing that it left behind a bead like the inner altar of a spirit. And it was also surprising that the corpse turned to ashes and disappeared without leaving the soul behind.

As Gu Hui thought that, the woman whose life he had saved was wide-eyed and shocked.

‘Wow, that’s a really great skill… .’

Although she was only a second-rate player, even her eyes could tell how great the skills Gu Hui had displayed were.

As Gu Hui snapped his fingers, a blast of wind struck the woman’s acupuncture points. As the acupuncture points were released, she was able to move her body.

“Haa… haa….”

She bowed her head, catching her breath.

“Thank you for saving my life, Grandmaster….”

If it weren’t for that guy, I would have been humiliated and killed. I was truly grateful.

Gu Hui answered.

“Don’t worry about it. What’s your name?”

“My name is Yeo So-hee.”

“I am Gu-Hui. Lady So-Hee, there are things I would like to ask you.”

“Ask me anything. I’ll answer to the best of my knowledge.”

“Is this the Jungcheon?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s where the dead live. By any chance, are you someone who has just entered the Middle Heaven?”

“Yes. I just got in.”

What she meant by “just arrived” was that it had been ten days since she died in the human world and had just arrived in the middle of the sky. She understood that and said so.

“Oh, then there must be a lot of things you don’t know.”

She just found out.

When the warriors of the Changcheonmamun asked Gu-hui whether he belonged to the Sadaegwimun, why did Gu-hui look like he didn’t know? He couldn’t have known since he had just arrived here.

“First of all, the Middle Heaven is a place where those who have committed murder at least once in their lifetime come. Those who have not committed murder can be reincarnated directly into the Heavens. In fact, it is called the Middle Heaven… This place is a hell where the logic of the law of the jungle returns.”

It had to be that way.

Because this is a place where those who have killed people in their lifetime gather, they would probably struggle and try to kill each other here too.

Gu Hui answered.

“I see. But how is it that those I killed and the young lady have human bodies?”

“When you enter the Middle Heaven, you will receive a body similar to your previous body. If you have learned martial arts, your previous martial arts will remain intact. You can also build up your internal energy through the internal energy method here. However, there is one difference. When you die here, it is the end. Did you see the body turn to ashes and disappear? When you die like that, you turn to ashes and disappear immediately. You have a body, but in reality, it only appears that way, and you can see that you are fundamentally a soul.”

“Oh, so that’s the difference. Oh, and what are those green beads that came out of the corpse?”

“It’s the crystallization of the power that the spirit possessed. It’s called the Mang-Hon-Gu. Depending on how many people you’ve killed in the middle of the sky, the color of the Mang-Hon-Gu changes. And when a person in the middle of the sky generates a killing intent, the light from the Mang-Hon-Gu forms in the pupils. Since their Mang-Hon-Gu is green, they’ve killed at least ten people. The color of their Mang-Hon-Gu is…….”

She explained.

He who has not killed anyone in the middle of heaven has white eyes.

Anyone who kills more than ten people will receive the green eye.

Cheongan is the one who killed more than a hundred people.

Anyone who kills more than 500 people is a traitor.

Anyone who kills more than a thousand people is a Red Eye.

Anyone who kills more than five thousand people will have black eyes.

It is said that anyone who has killed more than ten thousand people has golden eyes.

And he told them that if a person in the middle of the sky eats the Mang-Hon-Gu, their physical strength will become stronger. So the weak will be killed, and the strong will become stronger.

Thanks to Yeo So-hee, Goo-hui was able to hear a lot of information. According to her words, Jung-cheon was hell itself. It was probably God’s punishment for those who committed murder in their lifetime.

Gu-Hui asked with a serious expression.

“Have you ever heard of a person called Soyoja, my lady?”

“Are you a Soyeoja? No. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

Gu-Hui felt sorry. He was at a loss as to how to find the person who needed help.

Yeo So-hee said.

“I don’t know… but if it’s a rock carving, maybe you know….”

“Petroglyphs? What’s that?”

“It’s an organization that handles information in the middle of the sky. It’s a very secret organization that doesn’t belong to any organization.”

A strange sight appeared in Gu-Hui’s eyes.

He thought he should ask the rock carving about the thief.

“Can you take me to the rock carving branch?”

She looked apologetic.

“I’ve only heard the name of the rock carving, but I don’t know where it is….”

Gu-Hui was disappointed.

She continued.

“Our leader knows the location of the rock carving…. But he and my younger sister are being held captive by the Heavenly Demon Gate….”

The Bancheonhoe that Yeo So-hee belonged to was a force that opposed the Changcheon Demon Sect that kidnapped and killed powerless people in the middle of the sky.

Yeo So-hee and her younger sister Yeo Cheong-ha are members of the Bancheonhoe, and two days ago, the headquarters of the Bancheonhoe was attacked by warriors from the Changcheonma Clan.

In the process, the people of Bancheonhoe were killed or taken to Changcheonmamun.

Among those taken away was Yeo Cheong-ha.

Gu Hui, who heard about the Changcheonmamun and Bancheonhoe, said.

“I must go to the Heavenly Demon Gate. I must meet with the Bancheonhoeju and ask him about the location of the rock carving. Then, I must eradicate the evil group of the Heavenly Demon Gate and rescue the members of the Bancheonhoe.”

Yeo So-hee’s eyes opened wide. It would be a great help if her benefactor helped her. However… .

“You could die…. The Heavenly Demon Sect… is a truly scary place…. It’s the most powerful sect in this area….”

I knew that Gu Hui was strong because I had seen his martial arts, but I still thought that it would be impossible to deal with the Heavenly Demon Sect.

As for her, it would have been nice if Gu-Hui had helped her. It would have been a great help in saving her sister. However, she also felt bad about putting Gu-Hui in danger.

Gu-Hui answered with unwavering eyes.

“Don’t worry.”

“…Are you sure…are you okay…?”

Gu-Hui nodded.

Tears welled up in Yeo So-hee’s eyes.

“thank you so much….”

She looked at Gu-hui and thought that he was truly a knight. He must have been a righteous knight who had defeated evildoers while he was alive.

“Then let’s go… Ah, if you eat that Manghongu, you’ll become stronger. For a moment.”

Gu-Hui approached the Mang-Hong-Gu. He picked up one of the Mang-Hong-Gu and put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

But there was no change.

“There is no change…?”

“Don’t you feel a surge of strength?”

“None at all.”

“weird….”

Gu-Hui felt that the Manghoon-Gu would not work on him. He had no choice.

Because he is not dead. When he ate the Manghoongu, it was only effective against those who had already died once.

Gu-hui picked up the four remaining Mang-Hong-Gu and handed them to Yeo-So-Hee.

“It doesn’t work for me, so take it yourself.”

Her eyes opened wide.

“Ma, you’re giving me the Manghongu…?”

The people of the middle heavens never give the Mang-Hon-Gu to others. They only eat it for themselves. Yeo So-hee was touched by Gu-Hui’s care and lack of greed.

“Eat it. I have no use for it.”

“Oh, thank you….”

Feeling grateful once again, she bowed her head, received the Manghonggu from Gu-hui, and swallowed it.

She felt her physical strength increasing.

“Is there any change?”

“Whew… Yes. When you eat the Manghongu, your overall physical abilities such as strength, eye power, stamina, recovery power, and agility will improve. I feel like my physical strength has gotten stronger.”

It was a power different from my internal energy.

It was as if when Gu Hui unleashed the Great Power of the Monster God, his physical strength temporarily increased. However, the difference was that if he ate the Manghoongu, the strengthened physical strength would continue to be maintained.

“Congratulations.”

“Thanks to you… hehe.”

“Let’s go now. Take me to that place called the Heavenly Demon Gate.”

“yes!”

She immediately took Gu-Hui down the mountain.

* * *

As they went down the mountain, Gu-hui was able to hear more stories from Yeo-so-hee.

Yeo So-hee and her younger sister are the daughters of the Oknyeo sect, a sect of women located in Jiangsu Province, and are said to have died fighting the great demon leader of Sa-pa. It is said that they have been in Jung-cheon for seven years.

Yeo So-hee said that in the middle of the sky, you will never age. If you don’t die and disappear, you can live forever. For the strong, this place was heaven. On the other hand, for the weak, it was hell.

If you accumulate virtue without killing any of the heavenly beings for 50 years in the middle of the sky, you will be given the opportunity to move to the heavenly world and be reincarnated.

But it is easier said than done. It is almost impossible to accumulate virtue in the Middle Heaven, because if you do not fight, you will be killed by others.

Gu-hui was quite surprised to hear that Yeo-so-hee was the daughter of Ok-nyeo-mun-ju.

Oknyeomunju, Cold-blooded Sword Queen Ju Ha-gyeong.

She was Gu-Hui’s close friend in her previous life. She was also the woman who confessed her love to Gu-Hui but was rejected.

Gu-Hwi smiled bitterly as he thought of Joo Ha-Kyung.

‘Ha-kyung, you ended up getting married and having daughters.’

However, after those daughters died in the underworld, they were going through hardships in the middle of heaven.

It was a pity.

Gu-Hwi thought about his past life and decided to help Ju-Ha-Kyung’s daughters.

As he thought that, he arrived at the village without realizing it.

This is a village belonging to a city called Ryowon in Jungcheon.

The Changcheonma sect was a sect that was ranked among the top three in power in Ryowon.

There are residents in the village, and they look no different from the human race. They are weak. The reason they are not dying is because they are subservient to those in power and are doing labor. Because they are useful, they are able to survive without being destroyed.

Before arriving at the Changcheonma Gate, Yeo So-hee said.

“How can I sneak in?”

“Why do you have to sneak in? You could have just gone in through the main gate.”

Yeo So-hee was embarrassed. Wasn’t she trying to sneak in and rescue Hwe-ju and her younger sister from the brain prison?

“Well, then it’s too dangerous…. They’ll all come at once and try to kill the great swordsman….”

No matter how much he said it was a curse, he thought it was suicide. Gu-Hui didn’t care.

“Don’t worry.”

Gu-hui’s will was firm. As the one receiving help, Yeo So-hee couldn’t tell him what to do. She had no choice but to follow Gu-hui’s will.

But I couldn’t help feeling anxious and worried.

A while later, Gu Hui and Yeo So Hee arrived at the main gate of Changcheonmamun. Four guards were standing guard in front of the large gate.

As Gu-Hui approached, the warriors asked with sharp eyes.

“Who are you? Identify yourself.”

“I came to rescue the people of Bancheonhoe who are trapped in the Changcheonma Gate. Open the gate.”

There was silence, and then the warriors shouted.

“Where is this place! You crazy bastard!”

The warriors’ swords swung down, aiming for Gu Hui’s limbs.

The index finger of the sudden Gu-Hui flashed.

– Poop poop poop!

A hole appeared in the forehead of the four. Their bodies collapsed forward, dropping their weapons.

– Thud, thud, thud… thud…

Blood was oozing out from the foreheads of the four corpses.

Yeo So-hee couldn’t help but be amazed at the invisible magic of the spell.

Gu Hui’s Paokkwon was swung towards the main gate.

– Boom!!

The main gate was shattered with a loud noise. Gu-hui and Yeo-so-hee entered the inner room, pushing through the dust.
