Demonic Cult (3)
‘… I belong to the Black Ghost Palace… .’
To be honest, I have done evil deeds up until now, but I have no intention of continuing to be a public figure in the world of the famous.
‘Anyway, I need to talk to the Black Ghost Palace and find out about Kang Min-hee’s symptoms…’
I decided to use this ghost as a liaison with the Black Ghost Palace.
[Hey… a distinguished guest has arrived. Take him to the ‘special room’. I will personally give him very special treatment.]
At my words, the puppets within the engagement moved and captured her.
The ghost in the white robe cried out with tears in his eyes and a humiliated face.
“I swore to dedicate everything to Captain Cha Jo-Gwi of the 30th Submarine! I will not be defiled by you! Kkeut…!”
[… .]
I felt like there was some serious misunderstanding between us, but no matter how much I explained it, no one would believe me.
I closed my eyes after nodding to her and pulling her out.
Woohoooooooo―
Even without that, the shrinkage has already reached 70%.
‘7,000 years’ worth of life. If I just get 3,000 years’ worth, the contraction will be complete.’
In addition, since the Mugeuk Sect had now infiltrated every corner of the lower world, the speed at which the ‘offerings’ were being offered was gradually increasing.
Like this.
Tsk tsk tsk—
I felt the suggestion being conveyed through the public domain and stretched my consciousness.
* * *
‘This place….’
The place my consciousness reached was a sub-realm.
Unlike the water realm, the heavenly and earthly energy was very abundant, and the Buhae realm was quite large.
I stretched my consciousness to one place in that underworld, following the voice calling me.
A corner of the Buhae area.
Secret Valley.
Creepy!
As I was stretching my consciousness in that valley, I felt a cold feeling in some corner.
Anyway, I went inside the cave hidden in the valley.
Woohoooooooo―
I flowed into the body of a boy.
Inside the boy’s mind.
I faced the boy.
[Did you call me?]
The boy faced me and spoke in a trembling voice.
“Yes, great one. Please lend me your strength.”
The guy started explaining his situation without me even asking.
“I am a test subject of a Korean magic practitioner.”
The boy’s name is Ham Jin.
He was an orphan from a rural village.
However, while he was living comfortably by begging, his village was attacked by a group of bandits and destroyed.
It is said that the bandits burned down the village and captured all the beggars, then trafficked them.
And unfortunately, he was sold to a demon cult practitioner.
“He calls us ‘disciples,’ but the truth is he only bought us for the purpose of experimenting on us. He only intends to use us. No, I have heard his plan. He intends to take over our bodies to extend his lifespan!”
[Why did you call me?]
“Yes, please save me. I will give you whatever you want.”
[You must have known the price and called me, right?]
“Whatever the price, I think it’s better than having my body taken over by that monster and dying a miserable death.”
[Okay… if you do that…]
I had just received this boy’s lifespan and was about to grant his wish.
‘… Wait. Something seems strange.’
I spoke to the boy.
[… First, try to get out of this cave.]
“yes?”
[I will do as you say.]
I moved the boy’s body out of this cave.
Outside the cave was a large valley.
There were small holes here and there in the valley, and sounds were coming from each of them.
It seems that the eastern part of the valley was dug up a lot, and that the so-called magic practitioner was managing his disciples.
But I was more concerned about something else than those eastern ones.
‘This valley… .’
I didn’t pay much attention to this boy when I first came upon him, but as I was accessing his mind and reading some of his unconscious memories, I noticed one curious thing.
[Do you know how this valley was created? Are there any legends or myths you know of?]
“Ah… I heard that a long time ago, a green god descended from the sky, split a turtle to death, and created this valley. That’s why it’s called Jeolgui Valley (切龜谷) because it means the valley where the turtle was split.”
[… .]
I looked around the boy’s eastern side with consciousness.

[Give me your body for a moment.]
“yes?”
[If you lend me your body for just one meal, I will grant you a very special ability.]
“Oh, I understand.”
The boy nodded to my suggestion, and I took possession of his body and approached the altar he had used to offer sacrifices to me.
Quaddukduk―
After I split the sacrificial offering, I sharpened the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy.
The broken pieces of the sacrificial table soon became a single wooden sword.
Woohoooooooo―
I gathered the energy of heaven and earth to form a sword spirit and put it on the sword.
After that.
Quagagagagagak!
I swung my sword and struck the boy in the east.
Kwajijijik―
Because it was swung roughly, the power was poor.
At best, there was only a small dent in the boy’s eastern side.
But after I saw that home, I looked back at the valley.
And then, I put my hand on the rock that formed this valley.
I can feel the energy of the dragon vein flowing inside the valley.
The dragon veins were like the blood vessels of a living thing.
“… Normally, this kind of vein never forms.”
A valley created by the green god splitting a turtle.
“Hamcheon Lord… .”
It was predictable.
This valley is a world created when the corpse of a creature that Hamcheonjonja Jangik killed was transformed.
And then I remembered the chill I felt when I entered this valley.
‘ah….’
I used the Wolsu Palace Murok in Hamjin’s body, and after uniting my body with the Chongcheon Sword, I emerged from the cave in the body of a boy and flew into the sky.
I could feel the guy sharing this sight in his subconscious, appalled.
But I couldn’t even care about Ham Jin’s shock.
‘also….’
I am at the edge of the sky of the underworld.
I could not help but be astonished as I flew up to the ‘ceiling’ of this world and looked down upon this world.
This world was a battlefield.
Here and there, very here and there, were the marks of the sword that Jang-ik had struck.
I could see the pattern of the battle that had taken place here by looking at the marks of the enemy.
The battle began at the northwestern end of this world and ended here at the southeastern end.
And the ending of the battle was that Jang-ik won, and the creature that was the target of the battle died.
‘Jang Ik… was quite the challenge!?’
I sweated inside and made inferences based on the traces left in this world, including Do-heun.
Jang-ik, who bears the name of ‘Jeonja’, was in a classic state.
That means that the creature that died after fighting Jang-ik and fell into the valley was also a Saeseonggi-level creature.
I understood why this world was not like the underworld, and why the energy of heaven and earth was much thicker than that of the water world.
After the death of the Creature of the Sacred Age, the world became rich due to the power that escaped from that Creature.
‘What on earth is this world?’
I looked around the world in bewilderment.
How could something as simple as the Buhae system withstand the battles of the Saseonggi lords so resolutely?
I felt something strange there and went back down.
Kukugugugu-
I induced the weather.
Since the boy was a member of the three elements of earth, fire, and metal, I tried shaking the dragon vein to cause a light earthquake in the area.
Kookookookookook!
The valley shook, splitting and collapsing in places.
‘Why was the corpse of the sage creature that fought on equal footing with Jang-ik shaken like this by a force that was only a thousand-year-old’s level?’
Something is strange.
That was when.
Chiiing―
I am this creature that became a valley after death.
No, I was able to figure out something through the dragon veins that ran through this area.
‘This…!’
Deep down in the dragon vein.
There, a great amount of auspicious power was gathered.
‘I see… It’s not that the Venerable One’s body is weak, but rather that all of the Venerable One’s power is concentrated in the force underneath, causing the remaining shell to burst apart.’
Kkugugu-
I brought in manpower to try to lift this entire valley.
But then, it was.
Chiiing―
‘…Tsk. If I use any more force, this guy’s soul will collapse.’
In the case of the investigation that I first borrowed my power for, I had already reached the peak.
That’s why we were able to attract manpower, albeit weakly.
But this boy named Ham Jin was just a young kid who had barely made it to the top of the acting world.
Even though I was controlling my temper as much as possible, I was having a hard time holding on to my soul, and if I were to draw more strength from this guy’s soul, there was a high chance that this child’s soul would just evaporate.
Of course, it would have been better if my soul had evaporated, since there would have been many ways for me to take over this body.
‘But there’s no need to do that.’
There is no need to commit inhumane acts in a group.
No matter how many treasures lie dormant down there, they are not as precious as one life.
I entered the boy’s eastern part, erased any trace of the guy having performed a ritual on me, and spoke to Hamjin.
“Thanks to you, I have confirmed everything that needed to be confirmed. However, since it seems like you can’t hold out any longer, I will step aside for now. However, since you have already connected with me once, you will be able to call me from now on without an offer. Call me again. I will lend you my strength.”
Ham Jin barely nodded his head in his subconscious, enduring the pain of my soul.
Woohoooooooo―
I gathered the energy of heaven and earth into my hand.
“And this is the price I paid for borrowing your body for a short while.”
Wheeee …
I gathered all the energy I had gathered in my hands.
Kang-gi appeared in my hand as a strong ring, and I swallowed it as it was.
Kang-Hwan entered the boy’s Lotus Sutra, took his place in the center, and became the inner altar.
Wheeee …
Pfft!
I linked my inner and outer halves with this child’s upper halves, giving Hamjin the vision of the demon tribe.
I may not be able to handle the power of the inner circle I have formed yet, but I should be able to gain the vision of the lord.
“Beasts are more sensitive than humans, and they often foresee great disasters or accidents in advance. This is all an ability based on the senses I have given you. I have also given you the senses of a beast, so use them to survive.”
Tsk tsk tsk―
I said as I escaped from Ham Jin’s mental world.
“Your soul needs time to heal, so call me back in three months. We will meet again then.”
As soon as I left his body, Ham Jin passed out, probably from exhaustion.
‘It’s a considerable harvest!’
It was a much greater coincidence than the one obtained by falling off a cliff while making a life-or-death decision.
‘It’s the corpse of the Venerable Sage!’
Of course, even though it was the corpse of the Venerable One, most of the energy had diminished, but rather than disappearing, all of that energy was concentrated in one auspicious point.
‘The cold feeling I felt when I first entered must have been because I was standing before the Venerable One, even though he may be dead.’
Either way, the Venerable One is the Venerable One.
There is now a possibility of obtaining something that the Venerable One left behind.
I returned to the main body sitting on the podium and my eyes lit up.
[Hoo hoo hoo, hoo hoo hoo hoo…!]
I laughed happily through 19 mouths.
That was when.
Hong Beom brought urgent news.
“Your Majesty, one of the combined forces of this region is currently approaching Gwangum Station.”
I stretched my consciousness and perceived a lizard-shaped corpse rushing towards me in a bright aura, its entire body wrapped in blessings.
[Judging by your aura, you must be from the Black Ghost Palace. Your spirits are good.]
I stood up from my seat with my eyes shining.
[It doesn’t matter. I’ve prepared for this kind of situation. Tell the Demon King to begin.]
“yes.”
Hong Beom picked up the phone and contacted Oh Hyeon-seok.
And the west direction of Gwangum Station, where Taesu is rushing.
Oh Hyeon-seok and Jeon Myeong-hun went there.
* * *
“Hmm, is it okay to climb up from here? Won’t the formation break?”
“It’s okay, I can control everything.”
“Right….”
Oh Hyeon-seok looked at Jeon Myeong-hun and spoke with curious eyes.
“No matter how many times I see it, it’s still amazing. That Jeon Myeong-hun has become so healthy….”
“…Please start quickly.”
“Okay. Then….”
Kookookookookook!
Oh Hyeon-seok concentrated his mind while sucking in the energy of heaven and earth.
His whole body was dyed purple.
The monotheistic spirit he possessed could absorb any energy.
Whether it’s the Five Elements, Yin-Yang, or whatever.
Absorb everything and melt it inside the circle to raise the level!
That was the one-man show.
Therefore, whether he sucked in the spirit energy or the ghost energy, it had no effect on his level increase.
When I first came to the world of the underworld, I just fainted for a moment because I inhaled an unfamiliar energy!
[Goes!]
Kookookookookook!
And, Oh Hyeon-seok attempted to advance from a Cheon In-gi to a Sa-chuk-gi.
Krumbling, krumbling!
Dark clouds appeared in the sky, and a twin-colored thunderbolt struck Oh Hyeon-seok.
Kwarrrrung!
Normally, if someone of that caliber were to suffer for a thousand years, the whole world would be in chaos, but this time it was different.
This was because Jeon Myeong-hun was controlling the remaining eons from the side while Oh Hyeon-seok was being hit.
And then, finally, the combined power of the Black Ghost Bone Palace that ruled the area, the ghost king Jin Gwi-shi in the flesh of a lizard skeleton, arrived at Gwang-eum Station and was about to do a body-slam.
Kwarrrrrrung!
Jeon Myeong-hun stretched out his hand and scattered the thousand eons he had been saving up over Jin Gui-si.
[Kuaaaah!]
Jin Gwi-si cried and stepped back for a moment, and Jeon Myeong-hun smiled and said.
“This is outside the territory of the Mugeuk Church. Please tell me why you have come here.”
[I just got a call from you, you cultists. You said you lifted the Baekum Station and sent it somewhere, and now you’re here. You’ll regret it!]
“Haha, haven’t you heard about how many combined-machine-level demon kings our cult leader fought?”
[Of course I heard that. But looking at it, the one who is maintaining this formation right now is that cult leader. Do you think he can fight me? Besides, it seems like his strength has been greatly reduced due to the price he just received…]
Jin Gwi-si looked at Jeon Myeong-hun and smiled knowingly.
It was certainly as he said.
Seo Eun-hyeon was unable to escape the inside of the Mugeukgyojeon, and the brightness of the Baekran Fortress Gate, which had been burning brightly before the Gyemyeolyeok earthquake, had greatly diminished.
But Jeon Myeong-hun smiled bitterly.
“It’s certainly a bit of a difficult situation right now. But… wouldn’t we have expected that?”
chuck!
Jeon Myeong-hun has tied the knot.
According to his will, according to his determination.
Kwajijijik!
The thousand-year-old promotion that was being poured on Oh Hyeon-seok split in the sky and spread out in all directions.
The gigantic promotion eon spread out in all directions, seemed to surround the Gwangumyeok area, and then flew towards Oh Hyeonseok again and pierced him.
The direction of the thousand-year-old aeon is distorted by Jeon Myeong-hun, surrounds the entire Gwang-eum area like a net, and then strikes Oh Hyeon-seok again.
Even though it was clearly distorted by Jeon Myeong-hun, it was not that ‘the thousand-year-old was interrupted’, but rather that ‘the thousand-year-old’s path was slightly modified’, so the thousand-year-old did not become stronger.
“Attack as much as you want. It is a thousand-kalpa barrier filled with the energy of the Pasahyunjeong.”
[Huh…! You control the universe? What kind of sorcery did you use?]
Jin Guishi seemed embarrassed and shouted loudly, then took a step back from the thousand-kalpa barrier.
And then suddenly, as if something had come to mind, he looked at Jeon Myeong-hun and smiled faintly.
[Surely the eons are a threat to our creatures, but it’s kind of funny when you think about it.]
Bam!
Jin Guishi opened his mouth and pulled out the Dharma treasure from his dantian.
He emitted a large wheel-shaped dharma treasure and spun the wheel.
Kkiyaaaa …
A roaring sound came from the wheel, and a huge firework began to burn.
Kwarrrrung!
Jin Guishi threw the burning wheel towards the boundary of a thousand eons.
Flash!
Kwaaang!
The wheel covered in naturalization was unable to break through the barrier and bounced back.
However, the barrier has changed.
Kwajijijik!
The heavens are angry.
Someone interfered with the promotion of the thousand-year-old.
I received help from outside.
So, we punish them with even stronger divine punishment.
The stem of the thousand-kalpa became stronger and thicker.
Oh Hyeon-seok, who was the target of a thousand kalpas, was enveloped in an even brighter kalpa.
[Haha, isn’t it over when the target that has been hit for a thousand kalpas dies? If I continue to attack, the barrier will become stronger, but that also means that the kalpas will become stronger as time goes on. You killed your comrades with your own hands and sat down!]
Jin Guishi laughed heartily and continued to attack the barrier.
The barrier made of thousands of eons became thicker and stronger as time passed, but Jinguishi just smiled.
[Okay, if you want to protect your comrades, take down this stupid barrier right now! You must stop daring to distort the eons to suit your will!]
and.
Jeon Myeong-hun remained still in that spot.
Jin Guishi frowned at the sight.
‘You’re like those crazy cultists. Your expression doesn’t change even once while your comrade is suffering like this for thousands of years?’
The aeons were gradually getting thicker.
Now, the thousand-kalpa barrier was no longer a net surrounding the light realm, but rather a large sea of thunder in itself.
Jin Guishi was puzzled.
‘Wait a minute, by the way… I think it’s about time I die after receiving a thousand years of promotion…?’
* * *
The boundary of a thousand eons.
Inside the giant sea of thunder.
Inside, Oh Hyeon-seok, the source that brought about the eons, was crying.
[Ghhhhhhhhhhhh!]
Kugugugugugu!
Oh Hyeon-seok, who was emitting purple emanations in streams, was enduring for a thousand kalpas without giving up.
Jeon Myeong-hun smiled faintly at the sight.
“I’m sorry, but our colleagues are the type that get stronger and more resilient the more they get hit.”
It was Jeon Myeong-hun who had been watching Oh Hyeon-seok practice for the past 200 years.
‘Five Element Training, Changcheon Gaebyeokmun, what on earth is that place…?’
He shook his head and gradually changed his body.
Jeon Myeong-hun, who had transformed into a giant of six bodies spewing lightning, went outside, fighting his way through the sea of lightning.
Kookookookookook!
Jin Guishi opened his eyes wide as he looked at the giant god of six arms who had emerged from the sea of a thousand eons.
[These evil cultists! They sacrificed their comrades as sacrifices for the thousand-kalpa barrier! They are truly incompatible!]
[Think whatever you want.]
Kwajijijik!
Jeon Myeong-hun’s eyes lit up as he gathered the energy of the eons that were abundant around him.
[Stop talking and come play with me. Ahahaha!]
[Ugh, is there not even a shred of camaraderie?]
[Come here. Welcome to the Mugeuk Church.]
Kwarrrrrr!
Jeon Myeong-hun laughed, pouring out a torrent of thunderbolts.
* * *
I looked around at Oh Hyeon-seok, who had been experiencing a thousand eons of promotion while expanding his conscious realm, and Jeon Myeong-hun, who was blocking the intruder.
‘You’re doing well.’
In Oh Hyeon-seok’s case, he was constantly being beaten by the thousands of kalpas and refined like steel.
If the combined power of the Heavenly Aeon were to fall, even Oh Hyeon-seok would die, but so far, he has not died and is only being of some help in training.
‘I’m sure Jeon Myeong-hun will be able to control that well…’
Now if we just hold out for a few more hours, we can trigger the catastrophic earthquake again.
‘Then, for the remaining time… shall we try interrogating the prisoners?’
I walked upstairs to the upper floor of the Wujigyojeon to see the prisoner who would be used as a contact for the Black Ghost Palace.
Suddenly―
A ghost prisoner wearing the black ghost palace uniform.
When I opened the door where she was staying, I saw her waiting inside and she looked startled.
“Ugh, what on earth are you planning to do to me!”
[Nothing much. We’ll just have a conversation.]
“You evil cult leader! What did you put in my food!? Your mouth…! It’s strange…!”
[hmm….]
‘Why are you doing that? It’s just an ordinary car.’
I had Hong Beom serve me some mint-flavored honey tea, but he seemed taken aback because it was the first time he had tasted it.
‘I thought all ghosts would like it since it was the flavor that Kang Min-hee liked, but I guess I wasn’t.’
[The mouth will sink again. So now… shall we have a more substantial conversation?]
“Ugh…!”
