Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 80

Unity

It was today. Jeongyeonshin waited for the full moon.

‘I need to move my body too.’

Jeongyang has done enough. He has finished the Yun-gi Yo-sang that refines the inside of his body.

It was the day of the promise. It was time to synchronize the flow of energy throughout the body with the movements of the muscles.

The moment the sun rose, he asked Cheongmyeong to give him some advice.

I didn’t know how many hours had passed already.

The sunlight that brightly filled the back of the Magwangik Hall enveloped the tall body of the famous swordsman.

The presence that filled the quiet empty space was truly amazing.

Cheong-an-mageom Cheongmyeong. He was a master who used the most refined swordsmanship in Magwang-ik.

Since Ma Gwang-ik-ju uses Taoism, it is said that Cheongmyeong is the strongest swordsman who can compete with Ma Gwang-ik.

It was even said that blue was the best color among all the colors of the world.

It was the same even with the mid-level experts. It meant that even Baek Gi-rin was looked down on.

Zzz!

I received Cheongmyeong’s one-handed sword strike that matched my level of internal energy.

A strong wind blew against my ears. It felt like it was scratching me.

The level of swordsmanship is so deep that it makes you wonder if it is true that the same internal energy was used, as the sword power has reached the swordsmanship level.

It was to the point where the vibration alone was enough to cause a blast.

It wasn’t an unfamiliar force. It was familiar.

In reality, Jeong Yeon-shin was not a latecomer who did not know defeat.

Between missions, whenever I visited the main office, I received a lot of attention from my seniors.

Margin, Cheongmyeong, Baekmirye, and other older blue seniors.

The end of the martial arts training was non-combat.

Since studying hitting on my own was meaningless, I went on a mission only after finishing the training that my seniors had given me.

That’s how I got used to being able to solve my problems in real life. It was natural.

This means that losing battles was a daily occurrence. That was the case for Ma Gwang-ik.

Maybe that’s why I’m feeling particularly lazy today.

‘bit.’

The sun was just setting, but I was still dazed. I was in a state of suspended animation.

Even if you practice Dalian all day long, you shouldn’t get tired.

But I had a hard time concentrating on my daily life. It felt like my soul was hovering over my body.

While I was doing the swordsmanship, the energy in my hand holding the sword loosened. It was because my will was so poorly released.

The price came right back.

Swish!

In an instant, a loud gust of wind blew. At the same time, a shock came from the swordsman.

With a snapping sound, the Ip-Hwang-Geom was thrown out. If I hadn’t let go at that moment, my hand would have been torn.

“Our island, you’re not in your right mind.”

Cheongmyeong said, laughing.

“Weren’t you trying to fit through the eye of a needle? Quickly.”

He lifted his sword and placed it on his shoulder. The words he spoke with a smiling face felt even more harsh.

It was a scarier sight than it looked.

“It will take about three years to catch up with the new sword master. About half of the remaining year will have to be spent establishing yourself.”

“ah······.”

It was Jeong Yeon-shin who let out a rare blank exclamation. It was a day that couldn’t be helped.

However, from the position of the one who requested the training, it was something that should not have been protested.

Cheongmyeong tapped the sword on his shoulder. A cold blue light spread from his only eye.

“More than anything, it will be a form of taking away the position. The current Shingeomdanju is very upright. I can’t imagine him losing to anyone. Whether it’s the Thirteen Heavenly Lords or the Elder of the Old Sect. Our Seomye has to defeat someone like that.”

“I’m sorry. I’m trying to help you.”

“The black color is already a problem. The level of internal energy management itself needs to change, but this is a realm of enlightenment rather than qualification. Of course, it would be good if there was no talent.”

“······.”

“Samhwachwijeong, Ogijowon. The world of ideas is different. You mentioned enlightenment, right? This is not an exaggeration. Some old people call it exaggeratedly “shedding of consciousness.” It is said that it is difficult to achieve if you do not keep your mind strong.”

As always, the tone was light.

The content was different. It was filled with concern. At this moment, it was drawing a more specific future than Jeong Yeon-shin herself.

It was an embarrassing thing. It was even more so because he was the person who had become closest to Heonwonchang.

The boy raised his lottery ticket again.

“Thank you for the advice. I always receive it.”

“That’s enough of the courtesy.”

Cheongmyeong opened his mouth as he put his sword away. The sword light that formed a crescent moon was elegant and graceful.

“Isn’t it better to decide and study now? Since we have clear goals now. I’ll do swordsmanship, and let’s do beauty Qigong. Our Daejuya is a very busy person, so let’s leave that aside. Huh? Why are we putting our hands together again? Stop playing poker.”

“······I don’t think I’ll be seeing Senior Baek today.”

“Miryeo? I’ve been busy lately. I’ve been listening to your story and organizing my thoughts. I’ve developed a special kind of qigong that is as special as my origins. I need to teach you the techniques of using true energy separately. I think it’ll be done by the time you come back from Namgung’s house.”

“I’m also curious about the story of the two of you.”

When the mention of Baek Mi-ryeo’s origin came up, I remembered that Jeong Yeon-shin knew nothing about the Cheong-an Magic Sword and the Il-ryeon Sword.

It was because of my narrow vision. Since I had been running forward without looking back since I first started, I only saw my own circumstances. I felt very sorry.

I don’t even know Cheongmyeong’s age. I wonder how he came to be in the clan and join Ma Gwang-ik.

‘Everyone in the Magic Light is not ordinary.’

I didn’t know what had happened to Heonwonchang and why he entered Iphwangseong alone.

Unlike the polished sword, it felt like it had been raised preciously. The hostility shown to the various great sects was also strange.

Baek Mi-ryeo was the same. She was a master who occasionally showed off her incredible skills.

What kind of story is there in the jin gi typified by the color of ink?

I only heard that during the mission to turn Ma Gwang-ik-ju into a goner, young Baek Mi-ryeo was rescued. I didn’t know anything more.

“Next time. I don’t want to fuss right now because Eunwon is involved. You alone are a headache.”

Cheongmyeong smiled brightly.

“You’ll understand naturally. As you go from blue to black to purple, the quality of information you’re exposed to changes. Black is a very dominant position.”

“······yes.”

I nodded, even though I didn’t understand. It was because I had to go soon.

The time has come. I knew it when I saw one side of the ridge above the pavilion.

A white moon was rising over the dark gray roof. Could it be the energy of the full moon?

Today, for some reason, it felt strangely distant.

Cheongmyeong’s face turned around slightly, following Jeongyeonshin’s gaze.

“You, you should probably go to the lord soon. I’m so curious about what’s going on. Go quickly.”

Since the Lord has called me, I can’t ask him what his business is, he muttered, not even smiling.

“I’ll be back!”

Jeongyeonshin answered loudly without realizing it. She wasn’t even embarrassed now.

He passed Cheongmyeong straight away and carried the energy under his feet. Slowly, but gradually, he began to run faster.

We had been practicing all day. Bathing and purification came first.

“Madam Jang! Please give me some water!”

She opened the door to the main hall and shouted as she entered. It was a request to the maid.

The five senses of the Ming clan are extremely sharp. Isn’t it even more so for the Iphwangseongju?

Even within the clan, it was said that they were in a completely different realm. They could not smell like sweat.

If she changes her mind, the small piece cannot become smaller.

“Seomye? What’s going on?”

“The one who shouted was Jeong Yeon-shin?”

Several of Ma Gwang-ik’s seniors opened their doors and stuck their heads out.

It was okay to ignore it for now. Jeongyeonshin went straight into the room, grabbed a spare uniform, and headed to the bathroom.

* * *

The night air gently caressed the boy’s body. It was dark and warm.

in the end.

The moonlight rose. The halo of light on the full moon was faint. The full moon smiled dimly.

Jeongyeonshin entered the nature within the nature.

It was the inner castle of Ip Hwang Seong Ju, built with pure white marble.

The guards standing guard only greeted them with their eyes, but no one stopped them.

I walked silently, stepping on the cold marble. The high stairs felt particularly long.

Still, still, the end existed.

The moment I reached the top, the huge stone gate opened by itself.

As always, the opposite side was wide open and free of walls.

It poured out a halo of moonlight that seemed unusually bright.

Jeongyeonshin raised her gaze. It was on top of a thick tree trunk that stretched out through the office.

there.

There was a Hwangseongju.

It was a back view of him standing on a branch, basking in the moonlight.

Her long, grass-colored hair swayed with luster.

I couldn’t even feel a single ripple of air, but she was the only one who was clear. It was strange.

The presence was really palpable, especially at this moment.

“You must have been curious even though you knew what the piece was.”

She didn’t look back straight away. She seemed to be staring at a distant scene.

Under the soft moonlight, only the voice of the Emperor of Heaven, wearing a green robe like a palace, could be heard.

It seemed as if all the moonlight in the world was pouring into her.

Jeongyeonshin suddenly realized.

It was luck. It was the operation of true energy. It’s hard to believe, but it was true.

The full moon, which had become splendid before she knew it, was breathing with a haze of brilliance, and the faint rays of light it had released were refracted in all directions and gathered on her.

‘Even basic skills have reached the realm of transfer.’

It was an insight that reached the level of intuition. It was a time when Jeongyeonshin shuddered at a level she could not even guess.

“The fruit of the world tree. Your guess is correct.”

She turned around slowly.

Even though the moon was behind me, I could still see the light shining through my eyes. The deep green gaze was distant.

It feels like even the soul is naturally being suppressed.

Every time I meet her, I experience a sensation that even the Blood Flame Cult Leader has never experienced.

“Come here.”

“I meet the lord.”

I belatedly took a step forward. Opposite the place I stepped on the rough tree, there was Iphwangseongju.

Jeongyeonshin straightened her back and faced her.

“Closer.”

“yes.”

I followed orders silently. Now, it was less than a step away.

The Absolute’s transparent white face filled my vision.

It was the moment when Jeong Yeon-shin bent down and tried to prostrate herself.

“This is my first time here since the main event. I have something to tell you first.”

The Emperor opened his lips.

The boy, who had stood up awkwardly, stared at her.

“I will listen.”

“The leader of the cult may return.”

“······!”

“He is a monster of great strength. He found his form in a single drop of blood. He has killed me several times.”

Jeong Yeon-shin thought of the Blood Flame Cult Leader. He also felt like he had escaped the world of humanity.

Although he did not reach the level of the Emperor of Heaven, he was one who used transcendent regenerative powers at the peak of blood power.

It was then. Was he going to pat my head? The Lord of the Palace said, extending his hand.

“I couldn’t completely destroy you. I had to turn back to check on you.”

“I’m sorry.”

I had to lower my head in a hurry. I remembered the moment when I tried to face the Blood Flame Sect’s six disciples with my body covered in wounds.

I thought that the Emperor of the Heavenly Flames, who had disappeared with the Emperor of the Heavenly Flames, had returned after defeating the enemy.

That was not the case.

‘Because of me?’

In order to save one of the Seomyeran later indexes, he released one of the thirteen thousand lords.

It just didn’t add up. It was hard for anyone to believe.

“I’m sorry.”

A clear voice rang out.

“It is my choice. You just have to be wary of your enemies and strive to achieve.”

“······.”

“More than that.”

There was a pause. Her presence made the gaze coming down on me feel real.

Jeong Yeon-shin, who had been bowing her head, immediately raised her head.

A few strands of hair that had grown long while he was recuperating were resting on the back of the lord’s hand.

“The leaves of the Cheonhamok tree that fell in the spring breeze were my childhood friends. Now they have fallen and are no more.”

The corners of the mouth of the Emperor’s wife rose slightly.

“Your hair is similar to his.”

“yes?”

“Once you become an expert, it would be good to try raising them.”

“ah······.”

When I absentmindedly replied that I would, her lips formed a small, beautiful curve.

‘Even blue is not a specialty to the lord.’

But it was really natural and not something to worry about, Jeong Yeon-shin thought.

This is the first time I’ve heard of Seongju’s farm. I thought he was a human. I wonder if I could wish for a slightly bigger piece.
