Login Murim Episode 987
Even to this day, I clearly remember every moment of that day when I had my first fortune telling ceremony.
Kihaehyeol (氣海穴).
The energy inside my body that I encountered for the first time at a place with another name, Hadanjeon, was terrible.
It was so shabby that the name, meaning ‘sea of energy’, seemed ridiculous, and only a handful of turbid energy was floating around in the narrow vessel like a small stream.
okay.
It certainly was.
but······.
It’s different now.
Tiring.
Let’s start the sudden quest, [Body Major].
[Hard body majoring] is an extremely risky activity. If any problem occurs in the process of transmitting and absorbing air power, it may result in ignition or death.
With system notifications slowly fading away from my ears, my mind seeps deep into my body.
The scene that unfolded before my eyes as I awoke to the world inside was an endless ocean.
Gwaaaaaa.
It’s far away. Hot at the same time.
Instead of clear, blue waves, waves of fire constantly roll over.
A vast sea of flames.
And in the middle of it all, a huge fire dragon was lying on the pitch-black reef with its legs crossed. ‘That’s…
I knew it instinctively as soon as I saw it.
In this place filled with only fire and heat, the presence of the reef where the fire dragon was located was unusually foreign.
‘The energy received from the Heavenly Power Demon (天刀魔).’
How could I forget?
The Great Demon Head of the Demonic Cult that once shook the world, the Heavenly Power Demon, gave me his power with a request to defeat the Seocheon Demon Army.
Although his level of power did not reach the notoriety of the past due to being overworked by confinement and torture for several decades, perhaps it was thanks to him that he was able to successfully complete his training in Gyeokchema.
‘Because applying too much force can break the bowl.’
And the energy of the Heavenly Power Demon that I inherited from that time still remains within me to this day.
The Yeolyangji energy (熱陽之氣) originated from Yeolhwamun’s martial arts, and it can be said to be the nest of the fire dragon itself.
This was a fairly amicable coexistence and symbiosis, but at this moment, I was instinctively realizing it.
In order to climb to a higher place, we must now put an end to this strange relationship between two energies with different roots.
‘Wake up.’
The surroundings respond according to the focused mind.
An invisible echo swept through the sea of flames. I reached the Hwaryong, who was sleeping soundly on the reef standing tall in my heart.
Ugh.
The huge body of the fire dragon trembled. The blue-white eyes that finally appeared between the lifted eyelids were looking directly at me.
The eyes of a ferocious beast are torn vertically.
However, the emotion contained therein was not anger at being awakened from his sleep, but obedience toward his master.
It was natural.
Hwaryong Island and Reef Island were, after all, part of this ocean.
The owner of this vast world that exists deep inside my body was myself.
Therefore, the moment I made eye contact with the fire dragon, the concentration of that tremendous heat energy was immediately able to merge with my mind. Hahahahaha.
Warmth and spirit mix together. In my vision, which was now colored blue and white, I became one with Holong and without hesitation, I raised my arms.
No, it spread its wings as huge as its size and flew up.
Wow!
A reef shaking as if an earthquake had occurred. I rose into the air with a wave and took a deep breath in the distant sky.
Goooong.
The energy condensed into several layers screams.
If it weren’t for me, my entire body would have been reduced to ashes by now. A truly terrifying heat welled up from deep inside my body, reaching all the way to my core.
‘now.’
There was no hesitation. Finally, blue-white flames burst out with exhaled breath, engulfing the reef.
In the face of a catastrophe that could destroy the world, it, which was as black as pitch black, lost its shape and began to melt.
In addition, it was soon engulfed by waves of fire surging from all directions. Having spewed out a bout of fear earlier, I opened my mouth towards the thing rising high into the air.
Left ahhh.
It was the moment when the reef swallowed the melted dark red liquid.
‘Surp…!’
Suddenly I couldn’t breathe. It was as if an invisible blade was ruthlessly cutting into my five internal organs.
A sharp pain assaulted my mind before I could feel the satisfaction of my thirst.
But I gritted my teeth.
I gathered my shaking spirit and swallowed with all my strength what was trying to come out of my throat again.
So that it can never be restored to its original form again.
So that I can meld anew within this.
Therefore, that patience and choice were soon rewarded.
Googungung.
I feel it.
The power that swells within me, the reef. No, the energy of the Heavenly Power Demon did not disappear.
It was absorption and at the same time the coexistence of another meaning.
Unlike before, which was imperfect, it is a perfect coexistence that has completely melted into one.
And at the end of this amazing change, something else was beginning. Rumbling!
The world, completely stained red by flames, flashed.
A gigantic bolt of lightning opened up the closed sky and penetrated the sea of flames.
‘ah.’
Before I even felt the change in power, I let out a heartfelt exclamation.
okay.
It was literally a wallop.
The end of a long and intense life.
It is a symbol of a giant who has reached the brink of death, and at the same time, it is the last legacy I want to leave in this world.
Finally, I approached the gigantic lightning that had penetrated deep into my body through the Geogwolhyeol (巨闕穴), as if possessed by something.
It soared endlessly upward and upward along the line that connected the sea and sky.
Squirt!
I can’t hear it. But it seemed to be heard.
The sound of fierce wind.
Everything that came from the huge body of the fire dragon that I had felt like my own for a long time now.
My consciousness, which had reached a deep place, recognized everything as if it were reality, and before I knew it, I was finally able to see the sun, which had risen so high that it could not be seen.
A huge mountain that stands tall, as if piercing the sky.
And I already know the identity of that mountain.
‘Jungdanjeon (中丹田).’
The mountain named Okdanghyeol (玉堂穴), as its original name suggests, sparkled like a jewel.
Just one place. Except for the highest mountain peaks.
‘why? why?’
The question that suddenly appeared in my mind was soon erased by the answer I found on my own.
‘It means it’s still not enough.’
It’s already been quite a while since I opened up the middle and middle game, but there was at least a limit to my incredible growth rate.
That mountain peak is the realm of enlightenment.
God-given talent and hard work. An area that only those who have lived there for a long time can enter.
A high point that even I cannot easily overcome, despite the rapid pace of development.
but······.
‘If not now, when will I be able to advance again?’
I have experienced a lot of good luck, but heavenly luck never comes easily.
Moreover, the fortune created by someone at the risk of death is an opportunity that can never be encountered again.
‘let’s go.’
Maybe from the moment I started all of this, the hesitation within me might have disappeared. The system’s warnings would also have lost their meaning.
Having already consumed the energy of the Celestial Demon, I already knew what to do.
Crackling. Cheesy!
A ray of wall power (露黑) that continues to emit light without disappearing.
I jumped towards that huge pillar of light.
Gwaaaa!
The sight before my eyes turned pure white. A terrible pain, incomparable to when I absorbed the energy of the Celestial Demon, squeezed the muscles of my entire body and evaporated my consciousness.
‘Kaaaaaaak!’
I don’t know. Where is this place?
Is this desperate scream echoing in my mind mine or the fire dragon’s?
However, in my fading consciousness, I only heard someone shouting like thunder.
– Go!
The moment when a rumor that clearly belonged to Jeokcheongang rang out.
”······「
My consciousness, which had been rapidly fading, awoke.
My body, which was limp and had lost strength, gained strength, and memories of reality that I had forgotten returned.
Who am I? Where is this place? and······.
For the sake of everyone who trusted this immature and inadequate lump of blood, what should I do?
‘Hold on, hold on again.’
I endured with all my might the pain that was constantly tearing my whole body apart.
He drew up the original energy of the hot sun keeper that resided in the fire dragon and the energy of the heavenly power demon that he had absorbed a little while ago, and bit down on the pillar of lightning.
Crack. Hwadeudeuk.
Lightning flashes before my eyes. The thing that contained everything about a giant was now beyond painful and was paralyzing the mind.
Fortunately for me.
‘Sister-in-law, I’ll cum once or twice.’ At some point I was laughing like a crazy person.
It bit the lightning, swallowed it up, and continued to do so without stopping even though it seemed as if it was about to shrink from the pain it was destined to inflict.
Until the distant flash that colored my vision faded little by little.
And finally, until it completely disappears, as if it never existed in the first place.
Rumbling.
Suddenly, I was able to realize from my blurred consciousness.
That the huge lightning that connected the middle and bottom battles no longer exists.
The fact that this sound of thunder that came from somewhere is resonating within me.
‘I did it…’
The moment when I faced the truth about the success of my major in physical education.
Tiring. Tiring. Tiririring!
Far away from my consciousness, the clear sound of a bell began to ring incessantly.
However, the direction from which the sound was heard was neither the distant ocean of Lower Dungeon, nor the mountain peak of Middle Jeonjeon, which was finally shining bright like a jewel. I looked up and saw. Clouds that can’t even reach the mountain peaks.
Another world hidden by the clouds and invisible.
‘Sangdanjeon (上丹田).’
I was thirsty. As I achieved my goal, my consciousness, which had been unraveling like a thread, gradually became clearer.
It was a thirst, a longing. ‘More, more, more…!’
I wanted to become stronger. I wanted to move on. I wanted to soar through those pure white clouds and look down on everything.
But I had to struggle to suppress the thirst and desire that felt like my throat was burning.
It’s already limited.
Any more greed is excessive greed. I already knew the aftermath that this momentary impulse would bring.
‘Next time, definitely.’
With a promise, I looked down at the mountains and the sea that were completely mine.
And finally, for the first time, I encountered the essence of the three branches of energy that had come together as one and the aggregate of that enormous power.
No, I became one with it.
‘ah. iced coffee.’
I shuddered and moaned.
I was struggling in a distant mind.
I was engulfed in the dazzling brilliance of three types of light mixed together, and I forgot everything around me.
Selflessness (無我).
As I sank into the endless swamp of consciousness, I heard a sound similar to an auditory hallucination.
– That’s a good decision. Just like back then. A voice that feels unfamiliar yet familiar, as if I’ve heard it somewhere before.
Finally, the string of consciousness was cut off.
