Return to the Immortal’s Tale Episode 386
salt (2)
High-power system safety zone.
Jeongryong Palace.
The deep sea island of Angryongdo is located underneath.
There, the half-human, half-fish tribe of the Yuanling tribe, Wei Yun, took a deep breath.
“Whew…shit.”
She, who had been burned at the stake after becoming a demon, had now gained the ability to assume human form for both her upper and lower body.
She looked up at the sea dragon statue in front of her, her body trembling.
My head was spinning.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve done this.
‘But I have to.’
Wei Yun bit his lip as he recalled his village on Jeongryongdo Island that was burning down due to ghosts.
Kwak!
She drew her own blood and offered it to the sea dragon statue in front of her.
The Sea Dragon statue absorbed her blood and her life force.
A light came into the eyes of the Sea Dragon.
[Tell me what you want.]
“More power…! Give me power!”
[I get it.]
Then, a dark red energy emanated from the Sea Dragon Statue and was absorbed into Wei Yun’s body.
She absorbed the crimson blood energy.
Her eyes were darkened and her pupils glowed red.
Her realm, which was in the early stages of Wonyoung, soared into the mid-stage of Wonyoung.
[Offer more blood sacrifices, and I will give you more power.]
“…That can’t be.”
[I get it.]
Wei Yun tightly closed his eyes.
In order to save his parents, he has been training in magic on Angryong Island for over a hundred years.
When she offered blood and life to the Sea Dragon Statue, the Sea Dragon Statue granted her great strength and a rise in her realm.
Of course, that wasn’t all Haeryongsang wanted.
“I will not demand blood sacrifices, but will carry out your orders. Please give me your orders.”
Haeryongsang occasionally gave Weiyun certain missions.
Most of the missions involved destroying the Mugeuk Sect or ambushing key figures in the Mugeuk Sect.
If she completed such missions, the Sea Dragon Statue would treat her as if she had offered a blood sacrifice and grant her power.
Because it was a mission that Wei Yun had always hoped for, Wei Yun happily carried out the mission and was able to achieve rapid advancement over the past hundred years.
‘If I raise my level just a little more, I’ll be able to break through the evil spirits guarding Jeongryongdo and rescue my parents who are working hard in the center!’
“Give me the mission!”
And that was when it happened.
After a moment of silence, a red light burst out from the Sea Dragon Statue, and a large amount of magical energy flowed into Wei Yun’s body.
“Huh, huh?”
While she was dazed, her realm was forcibly raised.
Kookookookookook!
The realm of Wei Yun, who was in the middle of the Wonyoung era, soared to the level of Wonyoung Daewonman.
She felt her spirit being shaken and her lifespan shortened by the forced rise in level, but she smiled instead.
‘If it’s to this extent…’
The day to save my parents is just around the corner!
And then, to her delight, a voice came from the Sea Dragon Statue.
[I have given you the power in advance. Go to the Aengryong Sea immediately and perform the magic I teach you. If you do so, I will grant you the power of a thousand people.]
“Go, thank you!”
After Wei Yun bowed deeply to the Sea Dragon Statue, he staggered around, intoxicated by magic, and headed out of the Angryongdo Island.
Limp, limp…
Cool!
Wei Yun coughed.
Her cough was tinged with blood.
‘Probably… I won’t live long.’
In exchange for the rapid rise in status in a short period of time, I felt like my lifespan had been shortened significantly.
‘But it’s okay… if I can save my parents…’
Now the goal she had been longing for was within reach.
She staggered through the massive cave and headed toward the entrance that would lead her up to sea level on the island of Angryong.
The walls of the cave she passed through were covered with murals.
It was a sight of something huge, crimson, fighting a dragon.
In the following mural, something crimson has its head cut off by what looks like an axe thrown by a dragon, and for some reason the dragon’s head is also cut off at the same time.
It was a mural with an odd plausibility.
Clearly, the dragon had cut off the neck of something crimson with an axe, but out of nowhere, the axe got stuck in the dragon’s neck, and the dragon died on the ground with the axe stuck in its body and its neck cut off.
The crimson something did not die even though part of its body was cut off by an axe, but instead reached out to the dragon and grabbed something.

And a small earthworm-like thing was created by the red-hot thing.
It was a black earthworm.
The black earthworm created an earthworm that looked exactly like itself and threw it somewhere.
The black earthworm-like creature, thrown into a place where countless ocean waves were drawn, settled down there and scattered something like grains of rice under the sea.
Under the sea were stars and moons and suns, and things like human fingers and thighs, the horns of some beast, livers, body parts, and someone’s head.
That concludes the mural.
Wei Yun passed through a cave lined with murals and ascended to sea level.

“…Anyway, Father will come to his senses soon.”
Yukyo’s words continued.
“Because he values only himself very much. In addition, because he has a sane self outside, if he can assimilate his outside self with his spirit here, he will instantly find his identity.”
My face became cold.
“…Should I just cut off his neck?”
Whether the guy came to his senses or not, I was confident I could cut off his head if he stayed close to the ground.
“I don’t know if that will work…”
“…I see. So you’re saying there must be something more hidden?”
“…Yes. I’m sorry, but this is all I know, so there’s nothing more I can tell you.”
“It’s okay. I’m just going to try what I can. Anyway, are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“I will kill your father.”
At those words, Yukyo seemed to have a bitter expression on his face, but soon his expression became determined.
“Please kill me.”
“……”
“He… betrayed my brothers and sisters… my mother… this world. If I didn’t kill him, I would feel bad for all those who died and were deceived by him.”
“…I understand. In that case, starting today, I will use somewhat rough methods to conquer Bongrae Kingdom and ascend to the throne. Once I ascend to the throne, I will be able to resist him. Is that okay?”
“It’s okay as long as you don’t kill the royal family.”
“I get it.”
I nodded and said to Seran.
“Let the six yogis rest.”
“Yes, just follow me for a moment.”
Seoran took Yukyo to Nolbu’s house, the best house in Taeeulchon.
I was lost in thought.
‘Yukrin… Then, is he also learning Takhonmancheon?’
I didn’t feel that way.
I didn’t feel the dark and endless malice that I felt when I was infected by Seohyul’s Takhonmancheon.
From the beginning, it was not thought that Yuk Rin would be capable of doing something as mentally destructive as Seo Hyul.
It was when I was thinking about the connection between flesh and blood.
“…Gyaaaahhhhh!!!”
And then a scream was heard.
“…?”
I was surprised and ran to the house of the wealthy man, and saw a shocking sight.
Sea of blood!
The rich man’s house was a sea of blood.
And, in the house of Lord Nolbu, Yeonwi was sitting in the main hall holding a kitchen knife and looking blank.
Blood was dripping from her kitchen knife.
I looked at the rank and asked.
“…What is this?”
“…Is this Seo Eun-Hyeon?”
She said with a blank look in her eyes.
“…You found your memory.”
“okay.”
I looked at the house of the wealthy man.
There was a particularly strong smell of blood in the bedroom.
In one corner, Yeonjin was standing with her eyes wide open, as if she was shocked, unable to even speak.
“So I asked, what is this?”
“Ah… I was afraid that if I stayed here, I would go crazy in reality, so I adjusted the situation to be similar to reality.”
She looked at me with gloomy eyes and smiled bitterly.
There was no Yeonwi, the wife of Nolbu’s family, who would laugh and act cute at the apology from Nolbu, who resembled Heonwon.
The one in this place was an old demon who had gouged out his fiancé’s eyes and held a grudge for 40,000 years.
“It was such a sweet dream. But humans are creatures that cannot live in dreams. That’s not good either. If they get drunk on dreams, they will just go crazy.”
“…But there was no need to go this far. Yeonjin is just now…”
“What’s the problem? Yeonjin will wake up soon. And you are now…”
I felt my heart sink heavily as I listened to the words that followed.
“Do you want me to commit suicide in reality after waking up from a dream?”
“……”
I couldn’t say anything as I looked into Yeonwi’s empty eyes.
However, Yukyo, who was behind me, cried and shouted.
“What the heck is this!? These, these are… my people!”
Yeonwi looked at Yukyo as if asking what the hell he was talking about, and I told him the truth I had heard from Yukyo in a heavy voice.
And Yeonwi said as if spitting out something.
“Don’t talk nonsense. You’ve gone crazy, you carp bitch… This world is just a world within an illusionary law. You’ve been brainwashed by your father.”
“Oh, no… These are my people. These are not mere illusions! You are the ones… You are the ones who are the illusions!”
“Don’t be crazy. Is this real? We’re fake? That’s crazy! My 40,000 years! Are you telling me they’re fake!? Say one more word and I’ll pull out your tongue.”
Yeonwi stood up holding a kitchen knife.
Even though she lacked the power of prayer, her combat experience from living for 40,000 years was enough to make what she said come true.
She was usually the one who played pranks on us without any problems, but that was her true nature.
I drew my sword on the spot and cut off Yeonwi’s kitchen knife.
Ting-
Her kitchen knife was cut off and stuck in the wall.
“stop!”
My life force neutralized the life force of my younger brother.
However, Yeonwi’s eyes rolled back at Seoran’s one word.
“Calm down, isn’t it possible that both of them could be considered real? For example… your own other possibilities…”
“…you are now…”
Thud thud…
Yeonwi’s eyes became bloodshot.
“Are you trying to say that this is…my other possibility…?”
She grabbed his hand.
His own fingernails were cut and blood flowed from Yeonwi’s hands.
“Living face to face with Heonwon… Raising a child normally… waking up first in the morning, preparing his breakfast, managing the servants, helping him with his work, eating lunch together, feeding his son, giving his son a hug, welcoming relatives who occasionally come to visit, obeying Heonwon’s words, occasionally getting sullen when scolded, giggling like a gisaeng when receiving praise or an apology, and at night, eating a full dinner, lighting a warm fire, putting my son to bed, and living with Heonwon again – that kind of life… Are you saying that this is another possibility for me…?”
“……”
Bam…
Yeon-wi clenched her teeth. Blood flowed from her gums.
“Yes, then if this world is such a possibility, then what is the being that created this world and called us here? What is that being that called us here to show us such a possibility? To me? Why? To make it more miserable? Huh? Don’t make me laugh… If this world is real… this world is the very embodiment of evil that mocks me perfectly! Tell me again! Is this world an illusion, or is it an evil that endlessly drives us?”
Yukyo tried to say something, and Yeonwi rushed at Yukyo as she was trying to say something, as if trying to gouge out her eyes.
“I said stop!!!”
I shouted loudly and swung my sword.
Boohoo!
The entire neck of the Yeonwi was cut off in one fell swoop.
I said, breathing life into it.
“As the successor to the secret teachings of Yang Su-jin, the leader of the Mugeuk Sect and founder of the Geumsincheonroe Sect, I hereby decree that Yeon-wi, a soldier of the Mugeuk Sect and disciple of the Geumsincheonroe Sect, take Yeon-jin outside and stand guard!”
Yeonwi, who was desperate to live, made a blank expression and took Yeonjin, who seemed to be suffering from aphasia, out.
I told Yukyo too.
“Princess Yukyo of Bongrae! As the monster king who has taken you hostage, I ask you this. Do not provoke Yeon-wi. Do not force your thoughts on her.”
“…All right.”
I straightened up and settled the matter for now, asked Seoran to make sure Yeonwi and Yukyo didn’t meet, and then hurriedly ran to Jeon Myeonghun’s house.
‘If Yeonwi regained consciousness… it could mean that Jeon Myeong-hun also regained consciousness.’
I wondered if Jeon Myeong-hun was doing the same thing as Yeon-wi, and I quickly moved my feet.
I could see Jeon Myeong-hun’s house in the distance.
I had a bad feeling.
“Jeon Myeong-hun!”
Inside the house, the smell of blood wafted.
