Chapter 391
This the sky, which had been clouded in dark clouds, turned bright once again.
All of the first and second-class disciples had dispersed, excluding a couple.
If there were too many people, then it would turn chaotic. The saying that too many cooks spoil the broth was said for a reason.
Sect Leader spoke so well. The spirit of Wudang is something that no one can dare define. But. How can we even think and evaluate the efforts of the ancestors and the countless failures that occurred were wrong?
One of the Hye disciples asked.
This is right, we are all imperfect people. If a disciple went the wrong way and we cannot even embrace such a person, how can we call ourselves Taoists or Wudang?
The disciples and Taoists who were walking away nodded.
Right. Taiji isnt just ours alone, but for everyone. It isnt something you can just uproot. No matter how many times you go around, it is eventually a process where the Taiji returns.
In this way, each persons story continued to flow.
The elders and many more who heard those words nodded their heads without hesitation. In those honest words, Myung disciples believed that success was the only goal in their lives.
If they had the power to make believers reflect on it.
The atmosphere of everyone saying what they wanted was now over, and the fight had been resolved too.
It might be too much, but as a disciple, I have one request to make of you. The spar between leader Jin Mu and me isnt over yet.
Suddenly, Seol-Hwi raised his hand and made a request.
Everyone there turned their gazes to Jin Mu, who had been pointed out.
Kuam, ahem. Me is there anything more left to teach me?
Jin Mu looked away, like he could not face the man.
How could he show himself? Although he did learn from external forces, he was a member of Wudang, and the sect leader, Hye Woo, was there.
It was a presence that overwhelmed even the best of warriors.
As such, he knew that Jin Hwis strength had reached a level where it was difficult to even dare look up. And yet, the spar was not over yet.
It was to the point where it felt like he was using an excuse to beat him up.
I have said enough of my side. So now, isnt it time to listen to the side of leader Jin Mu too?
My story what use does that have?
I want to see the Complete Sword technique which Leader Jin Mu has honed until now,
Seol-Hwi said with a serious look.
Even if it was wrong, even if the path taken was wrong, the effort of Jin Mu could not be ignored.
Jin Mu was still a person who used numerous means to break through the wall blocking him.
Experience which I dont have.
What you get easily was easily lost.
Seol-Hwi quickly rose to the level of a wise man through various talents. That level was false, but it had not been for a long time that he grew.
This was, for example, the exact opposite of him.
Leader Jin Mu who suffered hardships but had no enlightenment. Although Seol-Hwi had no tough times, he rose to growth immediately.
If you share what you have with each other, then both sides will benefit. The numerous experiences of failure experienced by Jin Mu. If it can be shared, the status will be firmly established.
Complete Sword?
Didnt you show it earlier? Overpowering speed with slowness.
No, I dont think that is all. Isnt there something left?
The voices of those representing Wudang began to grow louder again.
Jin Hwi had clearly gone past Supreme Master now. Even if he were called the greatest Wudang Warrior now, no one would deny it.
And they thought his words might have some meaning.
My Complete Sword sigh
Jin Mu trembled saying it, but he trailed off.
Seol-Hwi could discern his thoughts. Contrary to expectations, it was a sword that did not seem particularly special or one that had deteriorated over time. It felt like he was implying that it had veered off the right path.
Why, is there an issue there?
Still, Seol-Hwi inquired once more.
Jin Mu let out a long sigh. He had no choice but to reveal his true feelings.
Well, Ive been training for a really long time and what youre demonstrating is completely different.
Thats why Im curious to see it, Leader Jin Mu.
?
Jin Mu was taken aback.
His expression suggested he was questioning if something was amiss. However, Seol-Hwi reassured him and continued speaking,
I sensed it from the Taiji Wisdom Sword you wielded at the end. The sensation was unique. It was swift yet slow, showy yet comprehensible. There was depth to it. Therefore, I believe, in addition to what Ive learned as your disciple, there are various ways to master the Complete Sword of Taiji.
My Complete Sword? Infused with Taiji?
Seol-Hwi nodded at the flustered Jin Mu.
Yes. In fact, Ive been a Wudang disciple for only a few months. On the contrary, youve devoted your entire life to Wudang.
Its said that those of Wudang embody tolerance, hence why our paths of learning at Wudang are vastly different. Im like a weed in barren soil, while youre a precious orchid in a greenhouse.
Hmm
You were fortunate to receive enlightenment from our ancestors, but I lack that. I wish to see a sword honed through countless hours on Mount Wudang, surpassing all others. I want to witness that.
Tak. Crack!
Upon Seol-Hwis words, someone tapped their knee and remarked.
Indeed! Those words ring true!
A genius I definitely noticed something in leader Jin Mus aura. Actually, when it comes to putting in effort, there is no one better than Jin Mu.
Yes, yes. The Complete Sword isnt defined as one thing. Its like Taiji.
All for Wudang
Jin Mu kept his head down, lost in thought, while the elders were the only ones excited, Seol-Hwi thought,
The wall made of layers. Its right there.
Now, Jin Mus strength was excellent. No, he had almost reached the state of Supreme Master.
But the realization that this was the final obstacle was whats holding him back.
That was the Complete Sword.
It was not that he did not know, it was that a few things were overwhelming and did not blend in.
He saw something he could achieve.
Demon God, your actions will end now.
Seol-Hwi, who had reached the state of Profound Master, seemed to know the kind of shackles this absolute being had placed on Jin Mu.
Because Jin Mus efforts were extreme, everything he attempted ended up unbalanced.
Originally, he would have realized this on his own and made the necessary adjustments.
However, the absolute being intervened and distorted the martial arts.
In a way, it was the most frustrating thing for Jin Mu; he missed the chance of enlightenment when he was so close to it.
And well meet soon.
In this situation, where Seol-Hwi stood at the center of Wudang, his presence was once again revealed.
Chak
Jin Mu, who had recently displayed his best on stage, asked Seol-Hwi nervously,
Can I really master the sword, even though I am lacking?
Youre not lacking. You have enough for me.
Uh, hmm phew
Jin Mu rose with a timid gesture.
Seol-Hwi smiled at the sight.
Perhaps this might be the last thing that can be done in Wudang.
To bring out Jin Mu, who trapped himself in suffering, and show him a better world.
It allowed you to reach a level that only a few people in the history of Wudang have attained.
That was the reason for the fight now.
Please come. I also wont be too rough.
It did not take much effort.
When swords clashed a few times, one started to understand what needed to be done. The Complete Sword was already in motion.
Lets start now!
With a shout from the Sect Leader, who volunteered to be the judge, Jin Mu jumped in.
Tat!
His face was brighter than ever before.
Kang!
!
As soon as the swords clashed,
Seol-Hwi felt it, and he was right. It was undeniably swift, as if it belonged out there.
The sword flow itself felt more elegant than any opponent he had ever faced. The disappointing part was the excessive focus on extreme satisfaction.
Haa!
However, the great regret vanished with each clash.
A heavy sword now.
A seemingly light sword was infused with tremendous power, surpassing a thousand pounds.
Is he sensing it himself and making improvements?
Ughhh.
Wheik! Kwak!
And then came the extraordinary level of the Taiji Wisdom Sword. A rapid thrust followed by a slash, all executed with swift speed.
Observing the connected techniques, Seol-Hwi took a step back.
Chance!
Thinking the opponent was faltering as he retreated, leader Jin Mu attacked from top to bottom in succession,
Kang! Kaang!
Huh!?
Consequently, the sword was roughly deflected into the air.
The opponent dodged the upper attack and countered the lower one immediately, looking a bit perplexed.
Please come again, using the same technique,
Seol-Hwi said.
Jin Mu paused for a moment, then nodded.
Wheik! Chang!
The subsequent technique came out exactly as Seol-Hwi had requested.
Kang!
Again!
Kang!
Again!
Kang!
Again!
Like a warrior instructing a disciple in training.
Seol-Hwis voice grew louder. On the other hand, none of the other people in the room could speak.
This was not an exchange of information like Seol-Hwi said. Especially for those who reached a certain level, their expressions changed without them even realizing.
Flow?
Right, it keeps flowing.
The flow of qi was left behind by the sword technique. That was gradually changing under the guidance of Seol-Hwi.
Cutting off the strong flow and bringing a shallow one.
Sometimes, it had both soft and strong flows and brought out a different technique.
Harmony. Right, that is how a change happens.
Someone praised as they let out a low breath. At some point, the training continued as such.
Clang!
The sword fell to the ground.
And it was surprising that the person who dropped the sword was not Jin Mu but Jin Hwi.
Ah?
Jin Mu looked down at his sword which was trembling in his hand. He seemed shocked as he looked up at Seol-Hwi.
He was clearly the one who did not have the upper hand, but then he defeated someone stronger than him?
Didnt I tell you? The flow of Taiji is slow, but always moves first.
Smirk
Seol-Hwi smiled and shook his wrist which held his sword.
But I I mean
Yes. You were already there. But you did too much, and nothing was in harmony.
Capture what you are feeling right now. Enlightenment is such an odd thing that if you dont understand it right then, you will lose it.
Right. Thank you.
Thud!
Jin Mu sat down cross-legged there, forgetting that the person in front of him was a sajae
It was a desperate situation. And also because this was the realization he needed so desperately.
Woahhh
Ah!
That!
As the heat began to rise from the top of Jin Mus head, who was sitting cross-legged, the faces of those in the hall were filled with joy.
In particular, the sect leader who was watching this from afar had tears in eyes.
The enlightenment of someone born and raised in the sect: a deviation from someone who loved the sect more than anyone.
In the end, the prodigal son who returned was in the process of overcoming his Peak and heading into Supreme.
Drip
Hye Seon sahyung, watching this
Tears flowed down.
The strong sahyung whom he respected more than anyone else, the unfair death of his which brought his sajae into trouble. All of that passed right in front of him.
Shhh
The pain in his chest which he carried for all this while had washed away.
Phew
White steam began to rise from the head of Jin Mu who was seated cross-legged. The three varying energies which looked like three flowers
A phenomenon that occurred when one ascended to an absolute state, something that was found just in books.
That guy will realize it soon.
Seeing that scene, Seol-Hwi had a different thought.
The Absolute.
That guy will find out.
The future he decided was changing now.
Originally, it was impossible for the justice factions to produce such a warrior. And this man made it happen through various means.
However, Seol-Hwi lifted those controls and shackles, and it was not in some other place but Wudang.
A Supreme Warrior.
Wait, because I will enter directly into the system you created.
Now that he had touched both Profound Master and Profound Demon.
Seol-Hwi could handle him now.
As a bonus, the absolute strength known as the outsider force can be used too.
The core of Taiji is what it all is.
That.
Uh?
Clack!
As soon as the door opened, the eyes of the audience moved to one side. One Taoist came walking in.
What is happening?
The sect leader approached him and asked. But the disciple was pale.
We discovered what appears to be intruders gathering under the mountain. And coming this way.
Intruders? Where are they from?
Mount Hua and
The Taoist caught his breath before he continued to say,
The Demonic Sect!
