Episode 619. Prove it with
sword spirit.
From her point of view, he was someone who would regret committing once and for all.
It was better not to be hit in the first place than to expect revenge from the teacher after being beaten.
“It must have been because of yesterday.”
She answered vaguely as much as possible in order to trick the enemy.
Immediately, a sigh escaped from his mouth.
“damn! Can I live in sorrow for a person without a belly?”
“…”
Eun So-seon trembled at his unstoppable complaint.
It seems that he did well to be careful with his words because he behaved like that even while being called by the servant.
Eun So-seon went up to So-yo-jeong, the teacher’s residence, together with the grumbling Yeon Jeok-ha.
Cheonjubong.
Sojeong Jeong.
Finally, Venerable Taeeul and Yeonjeokha, the servants of Soyojong, sat facing each other.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward because of Eun So-seon, but it wasn’t to the point of fighting.
At this, Yeon Jeok-ha mustered up courage and carefully took his luck.
“You said you were looking for me.”
However, the Venerable Taeeul did not say Katabuta, but only looked at Yeonjeokha.
A heavy silence fell on the small court.
Eun So-seon was restless, but unexpectedly, he seemed calm.
Emotions are relative.
Although he didn’t say anything, he was relieved by the look on Taeeul’s face and eyes.
“A lot has happened in the meantime. The disciples of Yeo-gak, the swordsman Jin, Choo Shin-yeong, the manager of Bonghwangjeong, Jin-in, and even Mugungjeon.”
“That’s why I stayed still… because they came and touched me first…”
“I know. If there was something wrong with you, Han San-wol and Cho Yo-san wouldn’t have overlooked it like they do now.”
“Ah yes.”
I was a little surprised to learn that the seniors Hansanwol and Choyosan, who had a relationship, pretended not to know.
If he was like Kang Ho, he would have been called around, but he didn’t say much, so he thought he didn’t know.
But pretending not to know
I don’t know if I know the thoughts of the people of the Savior.
“The sect doesn’t ask about the students’ origins or past. Do you know why?”
“I do not know.”
“Because it has no meaning. They live hundreds to thousands of years as disciples of the sect. What is the meaning of the past dozen years in front of that long period of time? Even after a thousand years, the things of the secular world are hazy and I can’t even remember them. Even more so, you have to live for thousands of years.”
Venerable Taeeul shook his head excitedly.
Unknowingly, I nodded my head to match his expression, which was both empty and philosophical.
Certainly, compared to the thousands of years of living as disciples of the sect, the ‘tens of years’ before initiation may seem like dust.
It was rather a good thing for himself who had to hide the past.
“I heard that you got a chance on the day ‘Ten Ai Unmun’ was broken.”
“…”
Venerable Taeeul’s voice came to Yeonjeokha’s ears as he rolled his head while preparing the right words.
“Your accomplishments are unparalleled in the history of the sect. Is it really because of that one ‘Ten Ae Unknown’?”
“yes.”
He replied in a resolute tone.
On that day, it was true that he had attained enlightenment through ‘Ten Ai Unmunbi’.
His sincerity was conveyed to the Venerable Taeeul.
The eyes of Venerable Taeeul, who had been sharpening his blade, subdued gently.
It was clear enough to understand without having to look with the eyes of the heart.
What led Yeonjeokha to become a true man was the ‘Temple of Heavenly Love’.
“What kind of realization did you gain from ‘Ten Ai Unmun’?”
“I found out who I am. And mission.”
He said it without hiding anything.
This is why, in order to go to the ‘Heaven’s Gate’, you must first be recognized by the Venerable Taeeul.
“Did ‘Teacher of Heaven’s Love’ teach you all of that?”
“yes.”
“It’s fun. Until now, there has been no one who talked like you about the talent of ‘Cheon Ae Unmun’. So, what kind of existence did the ‘Cheongae Unmunbi’ say you were?”
Yeon Jeok-ha inadvertently glanced at Eun So-seon in the seat next to him.
I had no idea how far I should speak in front of other people.
“Is it difficult for that child to hear?”
“It’s not like that, but depending on what you hear, it might sound a bit strange.”
“Tell me.”
Venerable Taeeul dared to leave the silver line.
It was to share even a little bit of the talent of ‘Cheon Ae Unmun’ that Yeon Jeok Ha had acquired.
“As the true self and the false self unite, the boundary between the two disappears. At that time, the original spirit and internal energy became one and transcended the original spirit body. I didn’t know either, but they said yes.”
“…”
Venerable Taeeul was speechless for a while at the unexpected reply.
This was very far from what he thought.
‘As the boundary between Jina and Gaa disappeared, the original spirit and internal energy became one?’
Besides, I don’t know what you mean by ‘transcended the original young body’.
The ‘Eternal Spirit’ is a common goal for all sects.
According to the stage of the ‘wonyoungjiche’, the nine sects distinguished the unions, the jins, and the laborers.
‘Grunt! Even the servants are in that category…’
It must be because they do not yet know the relationship between the ‘jongmoon’ and ‘wonyoungjiche’.
Considering his age, it made sense to accept it that way.
If you lack experience, you may mistake the ‘completion of the original spirit’ as ‘transcendence’.
After a while, Venerable Taeeul got lucky.
“Your achievements are astonishing, but I am too hasty to mention transcendence. If you complete the ‘Original Spirit’, you are already ‘half man, half good’. If you polish the ‘Eternal Spirit’, the supernormal ability is infinite, but transcendence? That is something that only beings who have ascended to the throne of the three heavens would say. Do you think you look like the three thousand gods?”
“no.”
He vigorously shook his head.
How dare you compare yourself to the three thousand gods?
Meanwhile, Eun So-seon listened to the conversation between Yeon Jeok-ha and the Venerable Tae-eul with a blank face.
I listened to get a little bit of inspiration from the now-disappeared ‘Ten Ae Unmun’, but the contents of the conversation were floating in the sky.
The fact that Jina and Gaa were united, that the original spirit and internal energy became one, and that they transcended the ‘Eternal Spirit’… There are only sounds that I can’t understand at all.
‘This is not what I wanted!’
She wanted to cover her ears as her head, let alone inspiration, was all jumbled up.
When he replied that he was not Yeon Jeok-ha, Venerable Taeeul’s urging was also tempered.
“I heard good things about you. Since your knowledge of the sects is one thousand, I will not say more. Did ‘Ten Ai Unmun’ even enlighten you on your mission?”
Venerable Taeeul looked at Yeonjeokha with strange eyes.
This is because holy relics have never taught missions in the history of the sect.
No matter how ‘the era of great change’, is that possible?
“yes. They say that opening the ‘door of heaven’ is their mission.”
“…”
The words beyond imagination made the Venerable Taeeul’s mouth drop open.
If Yeon Jeok-ha hadn’t become a true man in radiation, he would have told him to quit right away.
To that extent, his words were astonishing.
The mission is to open the ‘door of the sky’.
It’s ridiculous to think about it again.
No matter how ignorant you are about species, ‘Heaven’s Gate’ isn’t even the name of someone’s dog.
“Do you know what the ‘Gate of Heaven’ is?”
“Even if you don’t, I was thinking of asking what it was. What is ‘The Gate of Heaven’? I’ve read the book, but it’s not detailed. I heard that the creator god left it in the nine gates? Does that really look like a gate?”
Hearing the word ‘gate’, Venerable Taeeul realized that Yeonjeokha was ignorant.
To think of something like the ‘Gate’ in ‘Heaven’s Gate’, which is said to be the greatest mystery of the school gate.
Even ignorance is a sin.
When the story of ‘Heaven’s Gate’ came out, Eun So-seon also focused.
This is because the ‘Heaven’s Gate’ managed by the sect was the greatest mystery within the sect.
“It is better to see once than to hear a hundred times.”
Venerable Taeeul rose from his seat with the horse.
Yeonjeokha’s eyes widened wide.
“Can you really show me?”
“We can’t let Xiao Yao-zong’s disciples think that ‘heaven’s gate’ is a gate, can we? If any other sect finds out about this, they will curse me.”
When the Venerable Taeeul went outside, Yeon Jeok-ha and Eun So-seon followed.
Venerable Taeeul climbed to the top of Cheonjubong Peak.
Since Soyojeong was built near the summit, the distance traveled was not long.
Venerable Taeeul stopped in front of two huge stone pillars.
Each stone pillar was five feet (about 15 meters) high and more than two feet (about 6 meters) in circumference.
Venerable Taeeul, who was examining the long towering stone pillar with mixed eyes, said.
“This is the ‘Gate of Heaven’. If it looked like a gate, there would be no one who couldn’t open it, but the reality is like this. None of the previous practitioners has opened the ‘door of heaven’.”
The serial enemy cautiously approached the stone pillar.
It seemed like he knew that no one had opened it until now.
There had to be a door to open it, but no matter how much I looked, there were only two stone pillars.
Eun So-seon also wandered around the stone pillar with curious eyes.
Venerable Tae-eul took great care so that Yeon Jeok-ha and Eun So-seon could fully see the ‘Gate of Heaven’.
After Yeon Jeok-ha and Eun So-seon looked at the stone pillar until they got tired of it, they returned to their original seats.
“How are you? Doesn’t it seem like the mystery disappears when you see it with your own eyes?”
Yeonjeokha nodded.
When I read it in the book, I thought there was something, but when I actually saw it, it was just a stone pillar.
I don’t know if there was something engraved on the surface of the stone pillar like ‘Ten Ae Unmun’. But no matter how I looked at it, it was just an ordinary stone pillar.
Venerable Taeeul said as he walked between the stone pillars.
“Heavenly ceremonies were held here and countless offerings were made, but nothing happened. Even blood masters have even used humans as sacrifices. Still, the result was the same. It was the same even if a servant who had risen to fame supervised the ceremony. It sounds like you couldn’t open it even with a divine power.”
Venerable Taeeul stopped talking and turned around.
And I shot through the enemy line.
“If it is your mission to open the ‘Gate of Heaven’, prove it with the sword spirit.”
“A sword spirit?”
“If you even get the Sword Spirit, I’ll let you freely enter and leave Heaven’s Gate. Until then, entry into the heavenly area is prohibited. Do you understand?”
“yes.”
“Go away.”
Yeonjeokha still had some questions left, but left without being able to ask more.
Venerable Taeeul stared blankly at Yeonjeokha, who was walking away.
It was only a short conversation, but I felt terribly tired.
It’s all the aftermath of his bizarre words.
Transcend the true self and even the mission.
All of them were at odds with – very subtly – the teachings of the sect.
When Yeonjeokha disappeared from sight, Venerable Taeeul turned his gaze to Eun Soseon.
“Seven days ago, he did not have the energy of the Immortal Spirit. But today, I see that you have already completed ‘Wonyoungjiche’. There are some absurd parts of his words, but it is clear that he got a chance through ‘Ten Ae Unmun’.”
“…yes.”
Eun So-seon nodded weakly.
Hearing words like ‘transcending the original spirit’ and ‘opening the door to heaven is his mission’ were harsh even to himself.
Still, he is still a radiation player, but he has already completed the ‘Wonyoung Jiche’!
When I thought of the gap with him, I suddenly lost my energy.
“Are you jealous of his luck?”
“yes.”
“If you follow the rules, the gap between you and him will widen by more than three hundred years.”
“Four or three hundred years? Are you saying that I have to look behind him for the rest of my life?”
Eun So-sun’s face twisted.
Could there be anything more humiliating to a disciple of a priest with a higher level of spiritual energy?
“It’s not that there’s no way to catch up with him, but I wouldn’t recommend it.”
