Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 500

500 times. Do you want to become a sacrifice?

Belief has nothing to do with right or wrong.

Faith is just one individual accepting and believing it as truth.

When the object of faith is invisible, faith transcends individual cognition.

But what happens when you miraculously see the object of your faith?

In the case of the Eighthwangsinmo, my faith was unbelievably weak.

Yang Yeo-ryeong, the mother of the Eight Emperors, met the ‘nameless god’ for the first time at Taeilgwan.

It is like experiencing a world that exists but is invisible.

After that, her interest turned to the invisible world.

‘The Unknown God’ taught the wisdom of the gods beyond the realm of cognition.

In Taeilgwan, which is called Guido (鬼道), it was also evidence of entering the Way (入道).

Yang Yeo-ryeong, a monk, faithfully followed the orders with faith in the divine words.

Not only did he sleep with his teacher, but he also made a flame and became a soldier of the Twelve Horses with the sacrifices of his brother-in-law, and finally ascended to the position of King of Heaven.

Then, he even brought down an ‘unknown god’ from Mt. Fungji.

But what is this?

The moment she faced God, her faith cracked.

They began to judge the incarnation of God, the ‘Golden Snake’ and ‘Ushas Kinshasa’.

The starting point was the ‘how to get away from the Flame King’ taught by Geumsa.

“Even the demon king cannot escape the borders of the underworld, so how can you, a follower of his, escape the underworld? It is only after passing through the underworld that you reach thirty-six thousand… To you now, it is like a piece of cake.”

“But does Master Geumsa have a way?”

“There is one way, but I don’t know if you can handle the weight.”

“I can handle whatever it is.”

“Increase the weight of your karma by beheading 100,000 people. You will be freed when you reach the point where even the King of Hell in the underworld cannot handle it.”

Yang Yeo-ryeong nodded on the spot, intoxicated with the strange heat emitted by the golden snake.

However, not even a day passed, and I had a skepticism about ‘the beheading of 100,000 people’.

Looking back, Geumsa’s teachings were not perfect.

He obtained ‘divine wisdom’ through Yeommae, but as a result, he became a descendant of the Yeomma King.

The flame king’s followers were far from the immortality she had hoped for.

The gold thread was wrong!

The sacrifices she made to become a member of the King of Yeomma were beyond imagination.

The monk Taeilgwan was annihilated, and an immeasurable number of monks lost their lives.

The offering of monks as a sacrifice continues to this day.

Regardless of immortality, it was only because of the desire to acquire superpowers.

However, the master of gold said, ‘Behead 100,000 people’.

He said that if the king of flames accumulated karma that he could not handle, he would be released from his hands.

If the Golden Temple had not manifested itself and had spoken through prophecies, it might have been accepted as faith.

However, the gold thread he saw with his own eyes was disrespectfully insignificant.

It was not far beyond the realm of cognition, but only slightly better than absolute adherence.

It may have felt that way more because she took the initiative in her relationship with the goldsmith.

In the eyes of Yang Yeoryeong, Geumsa was no longer an omnipotent god.

Doubting her faith, she couldn’t help but think about her failure.

It was for that reason that he visited Yeonjeokha at Imjeonggaek, avoiding the eyes of Geumsa.

“The night before you all went up the mountain, that Shin-eon wanted Namgung-yeon. I didn’t want to follow, but I couldn’t resist the prophecy. Prophecy was my destiny.”

Eighthwangsinmo put all the responsibility on Geumsa.

It may have been an excuse from someone whose faith has weakened, but to some extent it was sincere.

“What bullshit is that? Why is your crazy god here?”

‘bang!’ The table collapsed with a sound.

Eighthwangsinmo returned the broken table with the technique of ‘Summoning Wartime’.

And he continued to speak in a calm tone as if nothing had happened.

“I believed in the prophecies without question. So, I followed the prophecy to offer 10 empresses as sacrifices. But since I met God, I don’t have blind faith like before.”

He quelled his anger and said.

“I am not interested in your beliefs. Tell me about sister Yeon. What happened to Sister Yeon?”

“The ten warriors went to the ‘Heaven of Kings’.”

“Where is it?”

The excited young enemy moved his butt.

If you showed me the location, I was ready to run at any moment.

Eighthwangsinmo looked at Yeonjeokha with a confused face.

I thought that emotions disappeared after Tae Il-gwan’s incident, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

“It is in the sky of thirty-six thousand.”

“Where else is the thirty-six thousand heaven attached!”

He accepted the “thirty-six thousand heavens” that are connected together as a common metaphor for Taoists.

“Do you think there is only a present life in the universe? The three worlds, the thirty-three heavens, which are spoken of in Buddhism and Taoism, are different worlds. The world I came to know through divine wisdom [神智] is thirty-six thousand. don’t know again There may be more.”

“You mean ‘Heaven of Kings’ is another world?”

“Yes. ‘Heaven of Kings’ is a world in the realm of desire.”

“The world of desire?”

“It is one of the places where people who have attained enlightenment in this world go. It should be said that it is a world of intermediate beings who have attained enlightenment but have not reached the perfect degree

.

As he said, the world for people like himself was ‘the sky of kings’.

But I can’t go because I’m dedicated to the king of flames…

“So you’re saying that you sent your sister in this world to a place called ‘the sky of kings’? One of the desire realms?”

“According to the divine knowledge I have obtained, yes. Offerings are taken from the ‘Heaven of Kings’, and in return, a being worthy of that rank comes over to the present world. It’s like an equivalent exchange.”

“Didn’t you say that you can only go to ‘Heaven of Kings’ after gaining enlightenment?”

“The picture of the reverse pentagram I used contains the power of reverse heaven.”

“Are the Three-Headed Dog and the Black Knight also from ‘Heaven of Kings’?”

“Three-headed dogs came to Yeoryang Jeong In-moon’s Munju Woo In-mong, and the Black Knight came to Jeok-wol.”

“I can’t believe it… Geumsa…”

“It’s a divine power that descended as a sacrifice. He is said to be the ‘God of Wisdom’ and his true name is ‘Ushas Kinshasa’. The one who wanted a queen of ten warships as a sacrifice is a golden lion.”

Eighthwangsinmo, who had already lost her sense of reverence for ‘God’, had a sullen face.

Yeon Jeok-ha, who was clutching his head and thinking, said.

“So, to sum it up, you used Sister Yeon as a sacrifice to bring the Golden Temple into the present world. And Sister Yeon was sent to a world called ‘Heaven of Kings’. Is this?”

“Geumsa wanted ten warlords.”

Eighthwangsinmo made excuses until the end.

“I don’t care who wanted it. Does anyone care about the sacrifice?”

“Unless you’re a member of the flame king’s family.”

“If you become a sacrifice, you will be sent to the ‘Heaven of Kings’, right?”

“Yes.”

Suddenly, Yeonjeokha stopped asking questions and stared at Eighthwangsinmo.

“But why are you telling me this? I don’t think there’s that kind of friendship between us.”

“Do you think it is to use you?”

“is not it?”

“I can’t say no at all, but there is no lie in what I said.”

“Why are you telling me such a secret?”

It was difficult to understand the attitude of the Eighthwangsinmo.

That was not an action that would have been taken by a religious leader who had even caused the ‘Blood Death of the Eight Emperors’ out of a desire for monopoly.

“I know that the gold thread I have believed in and followed my whole life is not perfect.”

“Isn’t the golden thread perfect?”

“okay. The golden thread led me with prophecies. But look at me now. I became the king of Cheondu and gained superpowers, but that is not what I wanted. Rather, by becoming a member of the King of Flames, he was far from immortality. If Geumsa didn’t know that, he was incompetent, and if he did, he cheated on me.”

“….”

I was shocked by the unexpected confession.

How could a famous religious leader regret becoming the ultimate king of Cheonduma?

“Can’t the flame king’s family be immortal?”

“The place where Yeommawang belongs is the underworld, but the underworld is just the entrance to the thirty-six thousand. Whether alive or dead, humans must cross the threshold of the underworld. However, the descendants of the King of Flames cannot go to the Thirty-six Heavens because their souls are bound to the underworld. Just like the flames can’t escape from the magician’s hands forever.”

“Do you really have to go to thirty-six thousand to be immortal?”

“Even the ‘heaven of kings’ in the world of desire is the same as immortality from a human point of view. It is said that the Cheonjama lived there for 100,000 years.”

It was only then that he was able to understand the relationship between the thirty-six thousand and the immortal.

“So, I want to go to the ‘Heaven of Kings’, but I can’t go because I am a member of the King of Flames?”

“The one who has guided me through prophecies until now is the golden thread. In the end, the gold thread blocked my path.”

“Ah…”

Yeonjeokha looked at the Eighthwangsinmo with strange eyes.

The priest, who is morbidly obsessed with immortality, was caught by the king of flames.

“But the golden angel appeared and taught me how to get out of the hands of the demon king. If you behead 100,000 people, you will be released from the hands of the Demon King with the weight of your karma.”

“What kind of bullshit…”

“Yes, bullshit. If it had been before, I would have followed it blindly. However, when Geumsa took on the form of a human and said such a thing, doubts arose. I guess it’s about right and wrong. It’s fortunate if I ended up like this because of a mistake by the goldsmith, but if I deliberately deceived you… you’ll only accumulate karma. You will be forever far from immortality.”

“I fully understand your suspicions about the Golden Temple. But what do I have to do with that?”

“No matter what you believe in the golden thread, I will end up beheading 100,000 people.”

“to? You said you could only accumulate karma?”

“But there is no other way to be released from the circle of the Demon King. Is there no choice but to run to the end apart from belief in the golden thread?”

“You are crazy. It’s a matter of 100,000 lives. Just for your immortality? Besides, you’re not sure?”

The Eighthwangsinmo shed an empty laugh.

“Don’t say it’s just hehe. Don’t you know what I’ve been doing for that? It cannot be said that one person’s life is lighter than the whole world.”

It’s sophistry, but the serial enemy couldn’t refute it.

This is because he is prepared to turn his back on the world for Namgung-yeon’s sake.

“So what? You want to know why you behead people? Or will you stop me from doing that? What do you want from me?”

“Just as the golden thread is not perfect, neither am I. I just realized it belatedly. So…”

“So?”

“If Golden Temple deceived me, am I not also a victim?”

Yeon Jeok-ha sneered at the words of the Eighthwangsinmo.

“joy! I don’t think it’s hard to say you’re a victim because you made the choice knowingly.”

“I don’t care what other people think of me. But do you know who the true enemy of the people of the world is?”

“A golden thread?”

“okay. If he can’t get out of the hands of the Demon King even with 100,000 beheadings, he intends to take revenge for the people of the world. do you know If you become a god slayer, you will be freed from the demon king.”

The Eighthwangsinmo sincerely thought so.

He said that if he killed the god of the ‘world of desire’, which is higher than ‘the underworld’, the demon king might let him go.

It is as uncertain as the Golden Temple’s teachings, but isn’t it somehow plausible?

Of course, his revenge is a bonus.

“It turned. The 100,000 people are just an excuse, but in fact, they are doing it because they want to hear the sound of ‘God Slayer’?”

“It doesn’t matter either way. i will do everything i can How are you?”

“What?”

“It means that you can do anything for the first lady.”

“Yeah, saying it twice only hurts my mouth

.

It was actually for that reason that I had been dragging the story for so long.

Eighthwangsinmo looked at Yeonjeokha and asked.

“Do you want to become a sacrifice like the 10th Empress Dowager?”
