Absolute Regression Chapter 670

Episode 670 Isn’t it time to eat one now?

Geommu-geuk, who had his sword on his waist, looked around the area.
It was because he thought that the bead might be crying. The bead might be hidden between the weapons or in the drawer of the dresser.

But even after looking at all the weapons here, Bigwie didn’t cry.

Geommugeuk walked to the door leading to the next room. He looked back and greeted her before he left.

“I’ll take a good look and go.”

It was a greeting to the spirits of the unmanned soldiers who used the weapons.
This exhibition hall considered the lives of the unmanned soldiers who used them more important than the weapons themselves.

Geommu-geuk opened the door and stepped inside.
This time, it was narrower than the room where the soldiers had been, but it was still much more spacious than the first room.

There were self-defense armors on display.
Likewise, there were descriptions of the armors and the people who used them.
Geommugeuk slowly looked around the place.

“Oh, I’m seeing the stylish clothing in real life!”

It was the protective armor of Yeon-gaek, a playboy swordsman who was popular with female knights in the past. This robe, with a beautiful woman drawn on the back, was his symbolic long robe, but no amount of swordsmanship could cut down this beauty.

“I’m jealous! Someday, I too!”

So, starting off half-seriously and half-jokingly, we started looking at the self-defense armors in earnest.
There really were all kinds of self-defense armors.

“So this is what a silver scale armor looks like!”

The silver scales were so shiny that they were blinding. Of course, they seemed to have little practicality.

“Paeryonggap (覇龍鉀)! Awesome, awesome.”

The image of a dragon roaring was drawn on his chest, and it really seemed that if he wore this and stood in front of his enemies, he would be able to intimidate them with just this momentum.

And by far the best self-defense armor here was this.

“Cheonshin Gap (Heavenly Gap)!”

It was a self-defense armor known to be light and flexible, making it feel like you were wearing nothing.
However, it should not be ignored because it was thin. It was a truly top-notch self-defense armor that could not be cut even with a sword or a sword.

“You guys, don’t even think about fooling me anymore!”

Since the originals are stored here, if any of the weapons or protective gear from here are being sold on the market, they are all likely fakes.

By the way, is the unmanned person just going to leave this behind? It’s a heavenly armor?

But today, I decided not to choose a protective gear here. It was with this in mind.

“Yes, training is the best self-defense tool.”

He consoled himself like that and took regretful steps.
There was something that stopped Geommugeuk from looking at the remaining armor.

Ice Dragon Armor.

The moment he saw it, Geommu-geuk remembered that time three hundred years ago.
This Ice Dragon Armor was a gift that the Dark Princess gave to the Heavenly Princess along with the Cheon-eum-dan. Geommu-geuk watched that scene that day.

At that time, the opponent that the Princess of Heaven had to fight, the Mu Hwang Shin Geom, had extreme internal energy, so it was given to prepare for him, but Geom Mu Geuk judged it to be a trap.

The Dark Princess was hoping that the Heavenly Princess would lose.
I couldn’t tell for sure since I didn’t see the fight that day, but I expected that the Heavenly Princess would be attacked by the Extreme Yin Force, who was preparing for the Extreme Yang Force’s attack.

The Muwangsingeom Sword wasn’t the only sword involved in the fight that day. The Cheonma Shingyo was definitely involved at that time.

I looked around to see if there was anything else related to that incident. Then, one thing caught my eye again.

‘Ah! What is this?’

It wasn’t a gauntlet.
It was just a long piece of cloth.

The dream of a divine woman.

Even without looking at the name written below, you could tell it was a sword dance.

‘It’s the cloth that the priestess used to cover her eyes.’

The priestess I met in the world three hundred years ago was covering her eyes with this cloth.
I remembered the prophecy she had made.

Darkness will lead you to the abyss.

At the time, her prophecy was interpreted as one that would allow her to find the whereabouts of the Great Treasure through the Dark Palace.
However, when it was confirmed that their descendants had continued on for three hundred years, the prophecy felt different.

The fight against these masterminds is my calling.

Geommugeuk slowly picked up the cloth called Shinnyeojimong.

“!”

The moment he took the cloth in his hand, Geommu-geuk felt a certain energy.
It was not the energy that could be felt from human prayers or martial arts. This energy was completely different from those, an auspicious and mysterious energy.

Was it because he had received a prophecy from a priestess? Geommu-geuk could clearly feel this energy that had remained even after three hundred years.

Geommugeuk instinctively felt that this energy was neither for himself nor for anyone else.

‘It’s for just one person.’

At that moment, Geommugeuk thought of one person.
The face of the person who should convey this.

‘What if meeting the sacred water left by the priestess here was fate?’

Geommugeuk took Shinnyeojimong without hesitation. This was Geommugeuk’s second choice.

Both the first and second were choices made for others.

‘Let’s make the last one a choice for me.’

After making up his mind, Geommugeuk headed to the next room.

The moment I opened the third door, I could tell what kind of room it was from the overwhelming smell.
This medicinal scent, which was always fragrant, was the place where the elixir was stored.

“Wow! This is awesome.”

A large number of elixirs were spread out before my eyes.
The first thing that caught my eye was the Eternal Snow Ginseng.
Each Eternal Snow Ginseng was displayed in a box.
Have you ever seen so many Eternal Snow Ginsengs in one place? This was truly the first time.

Since there was a perennial snow ginseng, the thousand-year-old snow ginseng displayed separately next to it felt like a bellflower.

That’s not all. Next to it, there was a display of the Nine Yang Divine Elixirs that imparted the internal energy of the extreme yang, and on the other side, there was a display of the Nine Yin Divine Elixirs that seemed to impart the internal energy of the extreme yin.

Again, there was the Red Heart Pill in front of him. There were three or four elixirs that were difficult to take even once in one’s lifetime.

And that’s not all?

There were all kinds of elixirs: Daeyangdan, Soyangdan, Taegeukjeongsimhwan, Jeokundan, Somyeongdan… They were all very well organized.

Seeing this sight, I could feel once again how great it was that Jinpaecheon had put me here.

What if I drink all this elixir? What if I drink it all like a madman and run away?

If there was even a slight chance that something like that could happen, I could never let myself in.
But the fact that I let myself in anyway showed that I really believed in myself.

‘The next room will probably be the one with the elixir. I don’t need martial arts anyway, so I guess I’ll pick up the elixir here.’

He has so much internal energy that you might wonder if he needs more, but the more the better, that’s what internal energy is all about.

There was no need to worry about which elixir to choose, because as I followed the elixirs, I met the leader of this room in the middle.

“Public hearing oil!”

The pinnacle of all elixirs!
There was a pure white bottle containing pure Gongcheongseok oil.

I carefully opened the cork and looked inside. There seemed to be a few drops of pure white, milky-white Gongcheongseok oil. Even just one drop would have a greater effect than any of the elixirs here.

“I was going to eat it all by myself, but it’s so delicious!”

It was something I said to my brother. I decided to split it in half with him. Why would I give him all of it just because it was good? Oh, it’s a little better these days. But I should be grateful that he gave me even half.

“Your Majesty, I told you clearly when I came in that I would only bring out the best.”

So, the sword dance drama, the military sword, the divine dream, and the public oil painting. I chose all three that I had to choose from here.

Now all that was left was to find a bead for the Bigwig to absorb. To Geommugeuk, this was more important than Gongcheongseomyu.

I looked around the room with the elixir carefully, but Bigwi didn’t respond.

Geommu-geuk opened the next door and went in.
As expected, the last room was a place where martial arts secrets were stored.
Dozens of large bookshelves were filled with precious secrets that the martial arts alliance had collected over the years.

“Ah, it smells good.”

Another good smell, different from the medicinal scent, was the scent of books.
It was Geommu-geuk who had become the temporary leader and was deeply absorbed in reading at Cheonmaseo-gak. Now, he seemed to know a little bit about the joy of reading books.

“What kind of books are there here?”

Geommugeuk slowly walked, examining the bookshelf.

It was mainly gathered based on the martial arts of the Jeongpa. As for the Demonic and Sagong, it was gathered based on the martial arts that destroyed them.
I could feel the determination and confidence to definitely subdue the Demonic and Sagong with the Jeongpa martial arts.

If the Jeongpa martial artists saw it, they would faint at the sight of the peerless divine skills, and there was literally one book after another. He didn’t take out the Geommu-geuk. Now, for him, the only martial art was the Nine Fire Demon Art.

So Geommugeuk walked slowly, passing between the bookshelves.

‘Bigwi, cry! Please cry! Aren’t you hungry too? It’s time to eat one!’

But even though Bigwi went through all the bookshelves, he didn’t cry.
Geommugeuk tried hard to shake off his regret.

‘Well, that could be the case.’

The sword dance was not in a hurry. It was not that he had tried hard to gather all the power of the beads from the beginning. He had faithfully followed the flow of fate and only collected three.

“No! That can’t be! We have to find it!”

The sword dance returned to the first room.
He went inside again, carefully examining the inside from the beginning.
From the poisonous liquor room to the weapon room, from the armor room to the elixir room, and finally to the emergency room.

I searched everywhere, but the watch didn’t respond.

‘Ah! There was no bead in the Murim Alliance report.’

I had a feeling it would be there.
It’s a shame, but I still have to say hello and leave.

“I’ll take a good look and go.”

As he was about to go out, Geommu-geuk looked back at the library.
He had looked around other places as if he was greeting people, but here he was leaving without reading a single book.

“I’m someone who has read a lot of books recently.”

I picked up the thinnest book on the bookshelf near the sword dance theater.

“It’s a commemoration of coming here, so I have to read at least one book before I leave.”

In the corner of this storage space, there was a small chair against the wall, as if to suggest that one sit down to read a book.
When I approached the chair,

Woof.

A cry came from the chest.
Geommu-geuk was startled. He had never expected that Bi-gwi, who had searched everywhere but never cried, would cry here.

Come to think of it, I only looked between the bookshelves and never came to this corner!

There was just one chair here, and the chair was so small that there was no way the marble could be hidden there.

“There’s nothing here.”

At that moment, Geommugeuk flinched.

“No, there is!”

The gaze of the swordsman turned to the night light attached to the wall behind the chair.
It was a night light attached to a book for reading.

‘That’s it!’

As they approached the night watchman, the watchtower began to vibrate even more violently.

Geommugeuk very carefully pulled out the night pearl.
Then, something rolled out from behind where the night pearl had come out.

What rolled out was a single marble.

The yellow bead was Hwangjeong (yellow eye).

The sword dance was cheered.

“Found it!”

If I had found it from the beginning, I wouldn’t have been this happy. But I was so happy when I found it after giving up on it.

There was a reason I didn’t think much of it as I looked at this corner chair and the night light above it.

In each room, there were night lights embedded everywhere. From the hallway where you first enter, there were high-quality night lights embedded.

They were so commonly found in every room that even this one in the far corner of the last shelf was considered insignificant.

Geommugeuk took out the secret box he had in his arms and placed the emperor on it.

Ss …

As always, the Bigui absorbed the Emperor.
Immediately afterwards, the Bigui began to vibrate violently, and a golden aura began to flow out from it.

The energy of the emperor flowing out from the mirror began to spread throughout Geommugeuk’s body through his hands and be absorbed.

Swish.

The energy rippled like light and spread like waves.
The process felt so good. It was like drinking cool water when you were extremely thirsty, and it gave me a refreshing feeling that I couldn’t express in words.

Geommu-geuk naturally began to unfold the Gu-gyeol he had learned before.
Then, the Black, Pure, and White spirits that had been dormant in his body came back to life.
These three spirits began to move in a completely different way from the existing internal energy method, and welcomed the newly joining Yellow spirit.

When the four energies flowed together through the blood vessels of his entire body, Geommu-geuk had a new experience.
His entire body became as light as a feather and he felt as if he was flying into the sky.

At the last moment of the rite, the four energies merged into one.
At that moment, I felt the tremendous power contained in that energy. This power was different from the power that my existing internal energy gave me.

However, the energies could not unite and scattered again, quietly falling asleep in various blood vessels.

Geommugeuk slowly opened his eyes.

“ha.”

Now, the energy of the Emperor has been completely absorbed.
There are only two colors left.
Only the red and purple beads remain.

Where on earth are they?
What would happen if all the energy was gathered?

For a moment, I was lost in this mysterious feeling.

Suddenly.

The snail spat out a bead that had absorbed energy. The yellow sphere that rolled out was now just an ordinary stone.

“Did you eat well?”

To Geommugeuk’s question, Bigwi just laughed as usual.
Geommugeuk put the exhausted Hwangjeong back into the hole and put the night pearl back in.

And I sat down and read the book I had brought. It was a piece of writing left by an old master who was missing his hometown. As I read the piece, I missed my father and the people at my school.

After a while, Geommugeuk put the book he had finished reading back in its original place.

If I hadn’t thought of reading a book here and leaving, I would never have found Hwangjeong. I would never have come here again.

Long live Cheonmaseokgak! Long live the Bookworm Geommugeuk!

Geommugeuk took the three divine items and walked towards the entrance where Jinpaecheon was waiting.

“I’ll read it carefully and go!”
