Return to the Immortal’s Tale Episode 424
What do people live by (1)
Whioooooo-
As I quickly crossed the light boundary, I regained consciousness with Kim Yeon.
She and I were able to keep in touch in case of emergency because we were both conscious through the strange heartbeat.
‘What’s the current situation?’
Through her consciousness, it was explained that the Sub-Mind was gathering strength to make a dimensional leap to the Simjok realm.
In order to safely make the dimensional leap to the Nankai region, even the power plant of the Seopmyeong ship, which had nearly infinite power, had to accumulate some power.
The Nan-gye region is called the Nan-gye region, but in reality, it is so different from the Gwang-han-gye An-gye region that it is no different from a two-dimensional region.
Beyond the desolation, the further away you went from the An-Kye region, the more space storms blew incessantly, and the more terrifying weather phenomena occurred from time to time, which was the Nan-Kye region.
The Simjok territory is located quite deep in the difficult area, so the main base has not been wiped out until now.
When Gyo-yeom said that there was something the opposing celestials wanted in the Simjok realm, it was not for nothing that the two celestials got angry at his words.
It was a problem when I got caught by the Shimjok master, but it was also a problem because it took an enormous amount of time just to get there.
‘Since it has come to this, I should just use the power of the Seopmyeongham and push Kang Minhee to the castle together with the Gogun.’
If he was a monster, he would definitely know a way to draw out the power of the Submyeongham even more.
“Where is the monster now?”
I asked Seo-hyul a question.
If that was the case, he would have known the location of the monster more accurately than I did through Takhonmancheon.
[Well, it seems like they are currently waiting in the eastern part of the Jijok area and gathering materials.]
‘East of the Jijok territory… .’
The territory of the tribe was largely divided into east and west.
To the west is the headquarters of the Jinryong Alliance.
There was the corpse of the Zenglongjin, and to the east, there was an endless, undeveloped land where all kinds of monsters lived freely.
‘This is my first time going to the Manhwang region… Even if I ask Seo-hyul to show me the way, he’s blind right now, so he can only pinpoint the location of the monsters, and he can’t give me proper directions… .’
I glanced behind me.
There, Heonwon was following me with his eyes wide open.
“Hey, Heonwon. Have you ever been to the eastern part of the territory of the Jijok clan?
“there is.”
“Then guide me. I’ll be there soon.”
“Why do you want to go there?”
“There is one person I need to go there and convince.”
“hmm….”
He frowned and said.
“If you’re going to ask me to guide you, I think it’d be better not to go.”
“What are you talking about?”
“That’s… Cool!”
Heonwon tried to speak, but instead vomited out a handful of blood.
“Damn… I’m starting to have a seizure as soon as I leave Geon-Gon Jung-Yeok.”
“that….”
“Taegeuk Jinroesin. The secret art of stealing yin and suppressing yang. It is a curse that forces yin energy out of its path and forcibly suppresses yang energy, causing it to explode. It is a curse that the evil Geumwi placed on me 40,000 years ago using the divine substance of the Yin-Hon-Gwi-Si-Mun and the calendar. In return, I had to suffer from the curse for a long time, 40,000 years, Geumwi was prevented from advancing to the union stage, and the divine substance of the Yin-Hon-Gwi-Si-Mun was ejected to a distant other dimension.”
“… .”
I looked at the priest who was talking like that and suddenly asked him a question.
“Hyeonwon. You… don’t you have any thoughts about Yeonwi, that is, Geumwi?”
He said, frowning.
“What should I think? It was just a political marriage from the beginning. I had no feelings for it. The only person I gave my heart to was her…”
His eyes became hazy, as if he was remembering something.
“Don’t you remember receiving something from the Royal Guard?”
He snorted at my question.
“Ha! To that? I remember my eyes being gouged out along with the harsh words like, ‘It’s a being that doesn’t exist in heaven,’ and ‘Don’t cling to illusions and make a fuss.’”
He ground his teeth with a chilling look in his eyes.
“It always took something from me. My world, my realm, my eyes! Didn’t I get anything from it? I only got pain!”
“… .”
I looked at the offering for a moment.
His feelings weren’t lying.
It’s true that only bad memories remain for Yeonwi.
But I felt strange.
‘In any case, before the existence of Cheonra appeared, Yeonwi was devoted to Heonwon.’
Even the reason why he threw a lot of punches at the high-powered system, if you ask him later, was more than half of it because he threw it for the sake of Hyeonwon.
However, he only had bad memories of Yeonwi.
What does that mean?
‘His memories are completely distorted.’
That’s right.
He currently had a memory that was very distorted and twisted due to [Cheon-ra].
There was even a memory of the people of Geumsincheonryeomun being brainwashed into being obsessed with the flag for years because of Jeongryeo, and even of me being brainwashed because of Yeongseung, so it was entirely possible that Heonwon had been brainwashed by being linked to someone higher than Jinseongyeok.
‘At the beginning of the 19th episode. The power and energy I felt when I saw the name [Cheon-ra] inside Heon-won was clearly eerily similar to [the owner of Taesan]. There was something different though… Heon-won may have lived his entire life as a puppet by the owner of Taesan.’
Can the spirit of Heonwon be cured?

Will it ever be possible to escape the clutches of that cruel and arrogant being?
I hoped that at least for Yeonwi’s sake, even Heonwon would be cured someday, and I quickly flew away after cutting off the conversation with him.
* * *
Woohoo!
Kookookookookook!
I arrived at the Manhwang region, the territory of the Ji tribe, in half a day.
“Okay, now that all of our colleagues have joined us, let’s go to the monster.”
I told Heonwon to guide us, and he took us and flew towards the Manhwang area.
Seo-hyul asked me a question as if he was curious.
“… By the way, Seo Do-woo. Didn’t you clearly say you were going to join your colleagues?”
He looked around.
“I can’t seem to catch hold of Do-woo’s colleagues in my consciousness.”
“I’ve joined. I don’t need to know the details, but tell me more about how to bring the monster back to his senses.”
As I moved, I took my time and connected my consciousness more closely with Kim Yeon.
Kim Yeon connected her consciousness with that of her fellow comrades through her own strangely serene mind, and as a result, we reached a state where, although our bodies were apart, we were all moving together through the level of the soul.
If necessary, you may be able to summon all of your comrades’ strength to this side through the ability of the Sword of Heaven.
“Huh, if that’s what you want… Then I’ll explain in more detail. First, we’ll enter the monster’s mind through the monster’s strange heart battle. Then, we’ll use my wife’s ability to recall the monster’s past memories. Lastly, I’ll dye and paint over certain scenes from the monster’s past memories with my Takronmancheon, and the monster will regain consciousness for a short while. Of course, it’ll only be for a very short time.”
“What am I supposed to do?”
“What Seo Do-woo needs to do is hold the monster back for a moment while we enter with the monster’s spirit.”
“Hmm… Okay, I see.”
I nodded and accepted his offer.
After a while.
In the distance, a familiar citadel began to appear.
“Haha, then as planned, Hun Do-woo will capture some of the puppets in the strange castle, Seo Do-woo will take [her] and the monster, and Seo Do-woo’s companion and I will invade with the monster’s spirit…”
And before Seo-hyul could even finish speaking.
A huge beam of light flew towards us from the monster’s strange fortress.
“…!”
I glared at the beam and reached out to flick it away.
Wow, wow, wow!
“… .”
I frowned and looked at my hands.
It was tingling.
This force was clearly a force I had encountered before.
The breath of dragons, somewhat similar to that of flesh and blood.
Dragon wave!
I looked at the strange castle with a stiff face.
Kugugugugugu!
Countless puppets emerged from the strange castle.
And, I was nervous as I watched two of them having particularly strong powers.
[Heh, heh! Heh heh heh heh heh heh!!! Who is this! Isn’t this our King Sagal? How can the great King Sagal come down before me? And who is next to me? Isn’t that the kidnapper who kidnapped our cute disciple!!!]
A monster emerged from behind the two puppets.
Seo-hyul looked slightly bewildered as he saw another puppet next to [her], emitting a similar aura to [her].
“… What the… Huh… Huh, Noya, first of all… .”
[Okay, you guys from the West! Let’s make them both Generals. I’m trying to make a puppet with two necks. Put a West guy on the left and a West guy on the right. It’ll be fun to see!]
He laughed maniacally and entered the strange castle again, and the two puppets with unusually strong aura began to move their bodies.
One was [her], whom I knew well,
The remaining one is the Black Dragon King, Hyeonum.
It was clearly a monster that had previously fused with the body of the Venerable One and displayed abilities close to sorcery, and it was likely a monster with some kind of relationship with the Blood Yin Realm.
When the command to move came down from the strange castle, the humanoid Hyun-eum instantly pulled out the compressed body inside her body and transformed into a dragon-shaped puppet.
The excited monster’s voice rang out.
[Yes, yes, I’ve decided! This time, if I catch that guy Seoga, I’ll combine with the ‘Black Lord’ to create the ‘Great Three-Headed Seo General’ with the dragon transformation ability!]
Clank!
The mouth of the Hyun-eum puppet opened, and an enormous amount of negative energy swirled inside.
Flash!
Once again, the bastard’s dragon wave blasted towards me, and I gritted my teeth and deflected it away again.
Tingling, tingling… .
‘The power… has become stronger.’
“Hey, Seo-hyul. Is Hyun-eum really that weak that she can be caught by a monster?”
I asked Seohyul, recalling the sound of Hyeonum when I had merged with the Venerable Blood Sound Realm.
He said, shaking his head.
“It seems he abandoned his shell and ran away. After all, if he has the information, he can be resurrected in another dragon’s body with even better qualities, that’s what Hyeon-eum is after all.”
“… .”
There was something about those words that struck me.
‘Resurrected with better qualities…?’
As time passes, the secret arts become stronger and more superior through the ages, passing from monk to monk.
Self-marriage is a blessing.
‘As expected… you were learning the sound of the strings too.’
I thought he had run away to Jahonmancheon after fighting the monster.
‘By the way, that guy Seo-hyul.’
I glanced at Seo-hyul and thought.
He was smiling, but his expression was quite unresponsive.
I read the wariness in the trembling that Seo-hyul showed.
‘Are you wary of the monsters? No. It’s different. This is rather… .’
And then suddenly, I realized what Seo-hyul was wary of as I struck down the Hyun-eum puppet that was rushing at me.
‘I see. The evil spirit of Jahonmancheon still remains in the body of the puppet of Hyeonum!’
I didn’t know if it was left behind by the monster or by Hyun-eum, but it was clear that Seo-hyul was wary of Ja-hon-man-cheon.
Only then did I understand why the monster had suddenly captured Hyun-eum and modified her in this life.
‘It’s because of the information I gave to the monster. Information about Seohyul’s Takhonmancheon!’
The monster may have met Hyeon-eum while wandering around to subdue Seo-hyul’s Tak-hon-man-cheon, felt the Ja-hon-man-cheon within her, and thought that was the way to deal with Tak-hon-man-cheon.
As a result, he would have remodeled Hyeon-eum into his puppet, confidently brought it out in front of Seo-hyul, and would have been determined to unite Seo-hyul with Hyeon-eum.
‘No, it may just be a matter of taste that you want to transform Seo-hyul and me into the three great generals…’
anyway.
I looked at the Hyun-eum puppet and my eyes lit up.
‘For Seo-hyul, Ja-hon-man-cheon might be more effective than expected!’
The day the alliance was broken.
That day will be the day when Seohyul will be able to feed Jahonmancheon
While I was dealing with the Hyun-eum puppet, I eliminated the aura of the Cheoncheon Sword and then struck the bastard’s head with a blunt blow.
Wow, wow!!
By the power of the Samtaegeuk, the Hyun-eum puppet was thrown down.
‘It’s fortunate that the pilot’s level is low.’
I looked at Hyun-eum and [her].
The liquid flowing inside his body.
It was the [Black Water] in the realm of the spirit world, and what was in her heart was the [Power Plant of the Submyeongham].
The black seawater and the power plant resonated with each other and gradually grew stronger, so if I had bought more time or if the monster’s level was higher and he could manipulate the two puppets better, even I would have had a hard time.
Phew!
The time of extremes.
I jumped over [her], infiltrated the strange castle, and grabbed the monster’s head.
The monster’s expression became furious, but I strongly connected my consciousness with Kim Yeon’s through the Strange Heart War, and Kim Yeon and I combined our strength to penetrate the monster’s consciousness.
[It’s your turn. Seo-hyul.]
I took measures to prevent Seo-hyul from invading Kim Yeon’s consciousness and connected Seo-hyul and my consciousness through the Mysterious Heart.
[Haha, okay then. The monster’s past. Let’s briefly erase the most horrific memory that caused his madness.]
Tsk tsk tsk-
The guy accessed the monster’s consciousness through my consciousness.
Beyond Seohyul, I could feel Oh Hye-seo’s energy in the vast expanse of Takhonmancheon.
Sarak, Sarak-
A sound like a bookshelf turning over.
And then, Seo-hyul, Kim Yeon, and Oh Hye-seo finally entered the monster’s memories.
