A Regressor’s Tale of Cultivation Chapter 365

holding hands (2)

Several members of the Mugeuk Sect trembled at Yuk Rin’s words.

Among them, Baekrin was particularly angry and trembled to the point where his jawbone was shaking.

It seemed as if at any moment a shout would burst out of the guy’s mouth saying, ‘How could you say something like that?’

It would have been the same if the opponent hadn’t been a combined machine.

I chuckled for a moment, wondering how I could politely decline this offer.

“… I’m sorry, but this cult leader has no intention of taking a concubine at the moment.”

“Oh, really? That’s too bad.”

Fortunately, Yuk Rin didn’t really recommend it anymore, perhaps because his conscience was pricked.

Instead, he smiled kindly and explained the reason.

“In fact, the reason my princess invited you and the sect was none other than to propose an alliance. There are not many alliances as strong as a blood oath, so I intended to make a marriage alliance, but that is a bit of a shame.”

“Huh, an alliance. Why do you want to ally with us?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Even though you are the ruler of a certain sea area, you have heard too much about the fame of your fleet of conquests over the past 200 years. And the group that your fleet of conquests joined as mercenaries is none other than your sect. It is a natural instinct of many creatures to want to join the strong.”

“Haha, that’s embarrassing. But I’m afraid that our school will only cause trouble to Jeongryong Palace.”

When I politely refused, Yuk Rin laughed again and said.

“It seems that the leader is uncomfortable with being with these six people. To be honest, even if you have a relationship with the main palace, there is no benefit to your sect. Then how about this?”

Teeing!

As he snapped his fingers, gravity curved and engulfed the area.

The entire Jeongryongdo Island was sealed off from the outside world.

It could be seen that he simply blocked off the outside and this place to avoid surveillance, but everyone was tense and their eyes lit up at his actions, as he could have been planning to raid us.

However, the flesh did not attack us in particular.

All I did was cast a few more spells to create a barrier that covered the entire Jeongryong Palace, and a blocking barrier that blocked the area where we were.

He spoke in a secretive voice, using several spells to block out external gaze.

“I originally wanted to talk to you after forming an alliance, but I would like to make a proposal first.”

“suggest?”

“Yes, it’s been a few days since you came to Goryeo, so I think you’ve figured out what to do here.”

“That’s right. A world covered by a destroyed world like the ocean… It’s quite amazing.”

“Haha, that’s certainly not the case for people from other planes. Well, and the important thing is this. If you go into the deep sea, there’s a higher chance of obtaining relics from the destroyed world.”

surely.

The high-power system was a world of all sorts of possibilities, except for the possibility of getting lost in the deep sea or encountering deep-sea monsters.

The High Power System was literally a collection of ruined worlds, and as he said, there was a lot of potential for obtaining countless treasures from the traces of those ruined worlds.

“Of course, he is only a possibility, and among the traces of many dimensions, the only one where you can obtain proper relics is the dimension of the truly deep abyss, and even that dimension is not easy to enter again once you have entered it. This is because, similar to the ocean of the other world filled with water, the abyss of the high-power system also flows endlessly like water. In other words, even if you happen to enter a dimension with many treasures in the abyss, whether you can enter that dimension next time is entirely up to luck.”

“I heard that.”

“That’s why, even if you happen to enter a dimension with a lot of treasures, you usually can’t explore that dimension properly and just end up picking up worthless treasures. However… the Deep Sea Island is different.”

At his words, the figures of the Bukhyang Fleet, including Buk Hyang-hwa and Kim Young-hoon, appeared greatly surprised.

Bukhyanghwa asked, surprised by those words.

“Your Majesty the King of Dragons, do you know the location of Simhaedo?”

“Yes. The King of Conquest has ruled over several sea areas, but I guess he has never heard of the location of the deep sea.”

I asked out of curiosity.

“What is deep sea?”

Yeonwi explained to me what I said.

“Master, as you can tell from the name, Deep Sea Island is an island located in the deep sea. Normally, the vast majority of high-energy islands are fixed in their location as floating on the surface of the deep sea, but Deep Sea Island is an island whose location is fixed ‘inside the deep sea.’”

“Wow, that’s amazing. Then what did the Lord of the Six Palaces say…?”

“That’s right. The princess knows the location of the Deep Sea. No, to begin with, only a few of the countless princesses in this high-powered realm know the location of the Deep Sea. If you discover the Deep Sea, you can calmly explore it and continuously challenge it to obtain infinite treasures, or if you completely take possession of it, you can make it your own territory and make it the safest treasure vault.”

Yuk Rin said with a secretive expression.

“To be honest, I am the ruler of the Wei Zheng Sea, and I have a rough idea of what is happening throughout the Wei Zheng Sea. I have watched you fight from afar.”

“Huh?”

“The power you used. It is a very important power to conquer the deep sea that the princess discovered. Because the barrier surrounding the deep sea can only be easily passed through with your power.”

That is, he needed my help to get through the barrier of the deep sea.

‘In some ways, it’s similar to Seoran’s suggestion.’

It was Seoran who wanted my help in getting through the previous Seopmyeongham barrier.

‘And then Seoran changed her mind about betraying me.’

I glanced at Seoran, and when our eyes met, Seoran’s eyes became quizzical.

I took my eyes off of Seoran again and looked at Yukrin.

“They say there are many treasures in the deep sea, but there’s no guarantee that they’ll be of any help to our religious order.”

“Last time in the Deep Sea, I saw a lot of elixirs written in the language used by the demons, lined up on the bookshelves of the library in the Deep Sea.”

Woohoo!

When Yuk Rin took out a small piece of rock from his sleeve and touched it, a three-dimensional image appeared from the rock.

And my eyes widened.

Inside a dark storage room.

In one of the bookshelves there, there were a lot of books in the underworld, such as ‘Budeokjesa Seo’, ‘Su-myeongjesa Seo’, and ‘Yuhodeokjesa Seo’.

There were countless books of one kind in each compartment, and one of them was empty.

“I assume that the empty space was where the Gangnyeongjesa Book was. I’m telling you this because you’ve already accumulated the Five Fortunes and seem to know a bit about them, but if you don’t use the axes corresponding to the realms in the middle realm like that, they’ll be absorbed back into the corresponding realms. They’ll probably be dissolved into the high-power realm.”

“… .”

“Jeongryong Palace doesn’t need those axes. I’m a combined machine that doesn’t need any more axes, and if I were to rule the Weizhou Sea Area, the more people who pile up those axes, the more my position would be in danger. However, since your sect’s leader and his subordinates don’t seem to have that much of a vertical relationship, wouldn’t this be an opportunity to obtain the four-axis forces armed with the Five Fortune Axes all at once?”

He spoke to me with a sly expression.

“First of all, if you, the cult leader, have accumulated the five blessings, you will know that the blessing of Yu Ho-deok is more difficult to obtain than any other blessing, right? Haha… If the cult leader helps the main palace, I will give you the entire library. Of course, I do not know what other treasures are inside, but I will acknowledge that the treasures you have obtained are yours to keep. The main palace only needs to obtain two objects from the inside.”

“… .”

I saw a vision of the library before my eyes.

‘It’s true.’

It was clear that Yuk Rin was not lying about anything, especially about the story about the deep sea.

It was ‘all’ true that there was such a deep sea, that he needed my help in entering it, and that there were a lot of sacred books there that could be used to build up the five blessings.

If that’s true, then it would have been right to accept it right away.

Thanks to Yeonwi’s explanation, not only the executives of Nana’s Mugeuk Sect, but also the executives of the Northern Fleet learned about the Yeongbo containing the Five Fortunes and such, so everyone was holding their breath in vain.

But I exchanged glances with Kim Young-hoon.

It’s suspicious.

But Yuk-Rin must have known that I was worried about betrayal, because he held something black out right in front of us.

It was a contract.

I read the contract he handed me.

The paper contained the contents of a contract for an alliance between the Mugeuk Church and Jeongryong Palace written in the language of the Yojok people.

‘This contract is no ordinary contract.’

My eyes lit up as I looked at the unidentifiable leather material of the contract.

In particular, Buk Hyang-hwa looked startled when she saw the contract, as if she knew something.

“Does the Conqueror know about this?”

I turned my head to her and asked her a question, and Yuk-rin laughed and said.

“Hehe, I will explain. This is a contract made of a material called Hyungoji, a precious contract that is rarely found in the deep seas of the high-power realm. No, to be exact, it is not the original Hyungoji, but a counterfeit. Of course, even a counterfeit has the same function as the original. Since a contract written with Hyungoji can be made through a higher being as an intermediary, the contract is valid as long as that being is alive.”

“What if you say a higher mediator…?”

“The being registered in this current location is Haerin, the Holy Master of the High-Power Realm. The Holy Master guarantees our alliance.”

“Hoo… .”

I looked over the alliance contract carefully.

Unlike the swindler Yuk Yo, the offer Yuk Rin made did not contain any clauses that were particularly disadvantageous to us.

The contract itself was quite loose.

The contract roughly stated that one side was prohibited from betraying the other side, and that if one side was in danger, the other side had to protect them.

There were no additional clauses in any small print, nor was there any other paper overlapping the contract.

There really is nothing suspicious.

If there’s anything suspicious since earlier, it’s just one thing.

‘this guy….’

Princess Jeongryong, Yuk Rin.

It was just him.

‘Is the only thing in your head that you’re thinking of doing?’

I didn’t know when we had a video call through the law, but when we met in person, I think I knew.

I was filled with thoughts that he would definitely deceive me, as if he were the father of Yukyo.

I glanced at the jade-colored rosary beads on Yuk Rin’s arm.

‘A magical weapon that blocks the eyes of the heart tribe.’

I’ve seen something similar from Seohyul before.

It seemed like it was designed to block the eyes of the pirate captain of the Two Nobles, but it wasn’t enough to block the eyes of Nana Kim Young-hoon, so I was able to read everything.

Kim Young-hoon, who had read the guy’s intentions, asked me a question.

-Is it right to blow your head off?

Wiggle.

Yuk Rin didn’t notice our intentions, but his face looked a little tense, as if he was warning us that Cheonji Yeonggi was suspicious.

I chuckled and showed the entire contract to my colleagues.

“I hope you understand that our school asks for the opinions of the Dharma Guardians and officers before making important decisions.”

“That could very well be the case.”

While I was comfortably controlling my outward expression and my heavenly and earthly energy, I was wary of the fleshly spirit that only thought of stabbing me in the back of the head.

I asked Bukhyanghwa, who seemed to know about Hyungoji.

“Do you know what the difference is between the original and the copy of the Hyeon-go-ji?”

“There is no big difference. The copy can use the existence of the true person as an intermediary, and the original can even use the true good as an intermediary. The original is extremely valuable, and I heard that only the Holy Spirit possesses one copy in the high-power world.”

“Hoo… .”

She took the notice from me, looked at it, and spoke to me.

‘It seems like there was no manipulation in the contract itself.’

I showed it to Buk Hyang-hwa, Kim Young-hoon, Jeon Myeong-hoon, Hong Beom-na, and Yeon Wi, but they all nodded their heads as if they recognized that there was nothing strange about the contract itself.

The contents of the contract were really only things like prohibition of betrayal and mutual protection treaty, so there was no need to get hit in the back of the head with this contract alone.

But I couldn’t help but worry.

Even if the contract is sound, if the person signing the contract is a fraudulent person, it cannot help but be a fraudulent contract.

“… Are there any records that can show the entire depth of the sea?”

“Here it is. This is all the records and exploration logs that the princess took while exploring the deep sea.”

Yuk Rin coolly handed me a crystal ball.

As he tapped the crystal ball, countless illusions containing information about the place called the Deep Sea floated into the air.

Countless scenes floated through the air, and it seemed as if Yuk-rin was expressing his memories of exploring the deep sea as hallucinations.

And, me and Bukhyanghwa.

And Seoran, Songjin, and Kim Younghoon’s eyes were fixed on a certain illusion that recorded the entire deep sea.

Wince!

I opened my eyes wide and glared at the illusion.

“… Does this deep sea have a name?”

He said with a smile.

“If you read my exploration journal, you will know that the deep sea that the princess found out about was called Bongrae Island a long time ago.”

A deep sea called ‘Bongraedo’ appeared before my eyes.

Bongrae Island was covered in a translucent spherical barrier that emitted pure white light, and at the center of Bongrae Island was a huge mountain that took up half of the area of Bongrae Island.

The mountain was a pure white salt mountain.

Yuk Rin laughed and opened his mouth as if trying to explain something.

And then, a sheet of electronic sound flew in front of Yuk Rin urgently, and he received the electronic sound contained in the electronic sound, and his face distorted.

He got up from his seat with a face that seemed to suppress his anger.

“… It’s embarrassing to say, but I heard that the daughter you brought home from school ran away again.”

“… .”

“But it won’t be long before you catch him, so I’ll have to hurry and bring him here. Haha, I’m really sorry, but please wait just a moment.”

Thud… .

Yuk-rin gritted his teeth and got up from his seat to leave the room, and I spoke to Baek-rin.

“The 13th Guardian King, Princess Seongran, was originally supposed to be your responsibility and protector. As a guest, it’s not right for the host to use his body himself. Together with Princess Jeongryong, escort Princess Seongran and bring her back.”

“Yes, Master!”

“Haha… You don’t necessarily need to help me with this… .”

“This is a favor from our leader, so please accept it.”

“… Thank you so much for this.”

Yuk-rin gritted his teeth in shame and left, and Baek-rin followed him.

‘But since Baek Rin followed him, he wouldn’t kill his own daughter, right?’

I felt it from the moment I entered, but Yuk Rin didn’t seem to have any kind of blood ties to Yuk Yo.

And when I saw the intent of anger that was revealed to Yuk Rin, I thought maybe he really would kill Yuk Yoo.

Even though she was a con artist and a bastard, I couldn’t let my father kill me because I had taught her the basics of high-powered weapons.

After a while, Yuk-Rin’s presence disappeared from Jeongryongdo, and I snapped my fingers to take control of the formation Yuk-Rin had deployed.

Tsk tsk tsk!

The strange heart-shaped monster’s circuit was laid over the barrier, temporarily making the inside a space that even the flesh could not monitor.

“Then I would like everyone to give their opinions.”

Given this situation, it might be a good idea to have a quick meeting.

The North Korean flower said.

“There is nothing suspicious about the contract itself.”

But Kim Young-hoon frowned and shook his head.

“As you can see, the only thing on Jeongryong Palace Lord’s mind is to stab us in the back of the head. Of course, the reward he offered is real… .”

At his words, anger appeared on the faces of the guardian demon kings in the room.

“How dare you…! To commit fraud in front of the cult leader…!”

“Children and fathers are the same!”

“Cult Leader! We must destroy Jeongryongdo immediately and turn Jeongryonggungju into carp soup and eat it!”

For a while, the Guardian Kings all let out their anger, and Hong Beom quietly opened his mouth.

“Be quiet.”

At Hong Beom’s words, all the Guardian Kings closed their mouths, and he looked at Seo Ran calmly and spoke.

“Does Your Majesty Seoran have anything to say?”

Seoran nodded and said.

“First of all, senior. As you may have seen, it was a salt mountain. And the wave of energy that was seen in the memory of Jeongryong Palace Lord. That wave was definitely the same wave as that of the Cheongmunryeong Great Man.”

Since Yuk Rin was a person of humble origin, the illusions based on his memories also included the flow of the spirits of heaven and earth.

It definitely was.

The salt mountain was similar to that of Cheongmunryeong.

in other words….

‘It is a relic left behind by the owner of Sogeumsan Mountain.’

Kim Young-hoon nodded at Seo-ran’s words.

“… As expected, it seemed to have something to do with Cheongmunryeong… It will definitely help us save him.”

Hong Beom nodded and said.

“Once I saw those countless axes, I thought that if I brought those axes to our school, we would gain tremendous power.”

“yes….”

In addition, there was even a Yuho Deokjesa Temple.

The difficulty level of obtaining Yuhoduk’s axis was higher than that of other axes.

Even the rank of Yeonwi was not able to obtain the axis of Yoo Ho-deok.

And Yeonwi opened his mouth.

“This is the current situation. There is a high possibility that Yuk-Rin will strike us in the back of the head. However, the fruit is too attractive to ignore, isn’t it?”

“That’s what it is.”

“Then there is a very simple solution.”

“What is that?”

When I looked at Yeonwi with a puzzled look, she smiled and explained.

“It is a very fundamental strategy of the Geumsincheonroemun that has been passed down since the time of the first ancestor. The first ancestor said that he could hear the true feelings of anyone through this method.”

I gave her a slightly ominous look at the words, ‘since the beginning,’ but she ignored me and continued speaking.

“Right now, kill that suspicious fish and put torture spells like the Suffering Thunder Curse Banner in its head and torture it. Oh, since you are good at curses, you can torture it in more diverse ways. After capturing it, if you continue to torture it, it will reveal all its hidden tricks and become very cooperative.”

“… .”

“What are you doing! All Guardian Kings, prepare to conquer Jeongryong Palace! Since that guy invited us, let’s destroy the barrier from the inside, take over his castle, set a trap, and when he returns, capture him and torture him!”

[Woooooooooo!!!]
