Absolute Regression Chapter 671

I’d like to send you the 671st one first.

Geommu-geuk came out to see the Murim report.
Jin Pae-cheon was waiting with his back turned to the entrance.

“My lord, I am out.”

What did he bring? Jinpaecheon was curious about the choice.

The moment he looked back at the sword dance, Jin Pae-cheon was momentarily dazed. If this had happened in a real fight, his life would have been in danger, so he had no thoughts for a moment.

‘Gunjasword?’

The surprise that came rushing in immediately. I didn’t show it on the outside, but I was really surprised. I almost let out a gasp of surprise.

“These are the three I chose.”

On top of the two arms that Geommugeuk held out, a sword was placed horizontally.
And on top of the sword was a bottle of Gongcheonseomyu, and next to it was a dream of a goddess.

Jin Pei-cheon was shocked and couldn’t say anything for a moment.

‘You brought a sword?’

I never thought I would bring out a military sword in the first place. I never even thought about it.

Because the Gunja Sword was a sword that was a symbol of the Jeongpa faction.

It was a sword that he had only seen, but had never pulled out.

‘Is what I have in front of me really a military sword?’

When I looked at it again, it was still a military sword.

“Do you know what kind of sword that is?”

I asked because I thought you might have brought it without knowing.

“Of course.”

Geommugeuk looked down at the sword and said.

“It is the greatest sword of all time.”

The gaze that had been directed at the sword turned back to Jinpaecheon.

“I brought the best sword among the swords.”

Even if you told me to choose whatever I wanted, would I still bring out the sword?

Jinpaecheon was shocked and bewildered. He didn’t know how to accept this situation. Why didn’t he consider the possibility that Geommu-geuk could choose this?

Jinpaecheon’s gaze turned back to Gongcheongseokyu.
The most precious elixir among all elixirs.
Perhaps because he was so shocked by the Gunjageom, it was less shocking.

Yes, I can give you Gongcheongseok Oil. Because it saved my grandchildren and furthermore saved the fate of the Murim Alliance.

But the Gunja Sword is a sword that symbolizes the sect. That sword falls into the hands of the Cheonma Sect?

If the people of the Jeongpa martial arts world find out about this, there will be chaos. It may even have a bigger impact than if it was revealed that Cheon-ae Geosa was a villain.

‘You have to say no now.’

Jinpaecheon’s gaze turned to Geommu-geuk. He was looking at himself with a playful face, wondering what was so good about it. Yes, it must be good.

“What is that thing?”
“It is a sacred object called Shinnyeojimong.”

Geommugeuk handed the Shinnyeojimong hanging on the sword to Jinpaecheon.

“It is a relic of the Shinnyeo Palace, one of the three organizations that protected Cheonui Palace three hundred years ago.”

Jin Pae-cheon, who was examining the divine dream, could not find anything special.

‘It’s just a piece of cloth that has historical significance but no special effect.’

The sword dance could be seen in Jinpaecheon’s expression and reaction. That sacred energy was something only he could feel.

“Can I ask why you chose this?”
“Because I wanted to give it to someone.”

Jinpaecheon returned the Shinnyeojimong. He didn’t ask who it was.
That wasn’t important. He had to make a decision now. There was no turning back once he left here.

But in the end, Jinpaecheon did not bring up the issue of the military sword being the only thing that was not good.

Because a promise was a promise.
It wasn’t just any promise. It was a promise made by the leader of the martial arts world to the temporary leader of the Cheonma Sect.

“That was a great choice.”

Yes, how could it be a wrong decision for a swordsman to choose a gentleman’s sword?
Jin Pae-cheon shook off his regrets and congratulated the sword dance with all his heart.

I made up my mind that I would not regret this choice.
I would not mind giving up not only the sword but also all the treasures and sacred items there. Because it saved the lives of my grandchildren.

If there is a problem with giving me the sword, I will gladly take responsibility for it. This is my problem, not Geommu-geuk’s problem.
Now is the time to express my sincere gratitude.

“Thank you for this.”

Geommugeuk looked at Jinpaecheon with a moved face and bowed his head respectfully.

“Please stay healthy for a long time and protect us.”
“Hey, you little punk. Is that something a cult leader would say to the leader of the martial arts world?”

The two people looked at each other and laughed.

“Let’s go back now.”
“Yes, my lord.”

Geommu-geuk put the Shinnyeojimong and Gongcheongseokyu in his bosom, and the Gunjageom was on his waist.
Jinpaecheon had definitely decided to give it to him, but his eyes turned to the Gunjageom without him knowing it. He still had feelings for it. He felt his heart boiling again.

‘Ah! I am not a gentleman!’

Jinpaecheon laughed as he walked.

Ss …

As we entered, the fog in the formation cleared by itself, creating a path.

“Are you going back now?”
“No. As I told you before, I plan to invite my friends and have a celebration party before I go back.”

At first I thought it was just empty talk. It seems like they’re really throwing a celebration.

“Someone must gather and raise the flag, otherwise we will never see each other again. I am the one holding the flag.”

Jinpaecheon knows that it is a very difficult task. Even he himself felt that way right now.

I’m Jinpaecheon, so why? If you want to see me, you should contact me first.

Honestly, if I said I didn’t have that kind of feeling, I’d be lying.

“Why do you want to gather like that?”
“Because I like it. I like my friends. I like Ha-gun, I like the Apostle-Major, and I like other friends. It’s fun and enjoyable to see them. That’s why I’m raising the flag. Of course, the leader might suspect that the flag is a battle flag, but it’s just a rallying flag that says, “Everyone, gather here.” Hahahoho.”

Jinpaecheon smiled faintly at Geommugeuk’s joke.

“Your Majesty, don’t you have any friends like that?”

Even though he knew full well what was happening to Cheon-ae-geosa, Geommu-geuk asked.
As always, Geommu-geuk tried to bury the body but not leave the emotional wounds. If you let go of a friend, you should make a new one.

“Would you like to raise the flag even now?”

Jinpaecheon looked at Geommugeuk with a surprised face. He wanted me to hold the flag myself?

“If the leader raises the flag, the entire martial arts world will be shocked, so instead, you should write it big on the flag. There is absolutely no other meaning, it is a flag for play!”

Jinpaecheon laughed out loud. Really, the only person who can make him laugh like this is this Geommu-geuk. He even has that military sword.

“If I raise the flag, who will come?”

Then Geommugeuk mentioned some unexpected people.

“We have our father, right? And the Apostolic Lord is here too.”
“!”

Geommugeuk added that it seemed as if he meant it sincerely.

“Maybe he’s secretly waiting for someone to raise the flag.”

Jin Pae-cheon walked again with a look of helplessness.
He thought it was nonsense, but suddenly he remembered the time of the three-party meeting.
It was more enjoyable than he had thought. When he thought it would be good to meet again, Jin Pae-cheon flinched.

‘What nonsense am I thinking!’

So the two people came out of the formation and walked together to the inner courtyard, but someone was waiting at the place where they had parted ways with Jin Ha-ryeong.

“Your Majesty.”

The person who politely greeted Jin Pae-cheon was none other than Jin Ha-gun.
When entering the training ground, he gave an order to his subordinate. If Geom Mu-geuk comes to see the leader, be sure to call him.
It was to see Geom Mu-geuk’s face before he returned to the Cheonma Shingyo.

Jin Ha-gun asked Geommu-geuk.

“Did you choose a good gift?”

I heard from Jin Ha-ryeong that his grandfather took Geommu-geuk to the Murim Report.

“I only brought out things that would finish it off.”

Jin Ha-gun looked at the military sword that he was carrying on the opposite side of the black magic sword. He didn’t know it was a military sword because he had never actually seen it before.

One thing was certain, Geommugeuk would not mind taking any treasure.

“Thank you for this time.”

He knew that it was all thanks to the sword dance that he was able to become the successor.

“Are you going back right away?”

Of course, I thought I would return to the Cheonmasin Church by now.

“I’m not going?”
“What?”
“I’m going to go after your congratulatory party. I’ve become the successor, so I need a congratulatory party. I’ve already invited all my friends.”
“Who are your friends?”
“Why are you asking when you don’t even have that many friends?”

Jin Ha-gun looked at his grandfather in confusion. Jin Pae-cheon just watched the two of them without saying a word.

“Why? You don’t like it?”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.”

Honestly, I felt good. This celebration party is the place where the people who congratulate me the most sincerely gather.

“Okay, and this.”

Geommugeuk took off the sword he was wearing on his waist and handed it to him.

“My gift to you in commemoration of becoming your successor.”

The person who was truly surprised at this moment was Jin Pae-cheon. It was a shock beyond surprise. He never dreamed that he would give the military sword to his grandson as a gift.

Jin Ha-gun waved his hand and refused.

“Okay, what’s the gift?”

At that moment, Jinpaecheon made an expression that said, ‘Ugh!’
Geommugeuk was slyly joking.

“You’ll regret it later.”
“Don’t regret it. It’s your gift, so take it.”

Geommu-geuk put the sword on his waist again. Jin Pae-cheon looked at him with eyes full of regret.

Geommugeuk put the sword on his waist and then held it out to Jin Hagun.

“Take it, I chose to give it to you. Don’t disrespect my friend’s name.”

Jin Ha-gun, who was watching the sword dance, looked at his grandfather. Since it was his grandfather who gave him the gift, he wondered if it was okay for him to accept it.
His grandfather said nothing and just stared at the sword. For some reason, he seemed more nervous than usual. He probably wouldn’t be nervous in front of thousands of enemies.

Geommugeuk held out his sword in front of Jin Hagun.

“I received another good gift from the Lord. So please take it without any pressure. It’s nothing special, so if I waste time, I’ll just be embarrassed. Hurry up!”
“Thank you. Then I’ll gratefully accept it.”

In the end, Jin Ha-gun accepted the sword.
The moment he accepted the sword.

“!”

Jin Ha-gun’s gaze changed. I could tell at that moment.

‘This is no ordinary sword.’

Jin Ha-gun slowly pulled out his sword.

Slurp.

The Gunja Sword finally revealed itself to the world.
It was the Gunja Sword that had reappeared after a long time.

“ah!”

Exclamations of admiration flowed out of Jin Ha-gun’s mouth without his knowledge.

The aura flowing through the blade was something I had never seen before in my life. It really felt like it would cut through the hearts of those who saw it.

I felt the breath of the sword.
The deep and elegant breath of the sword.

It was the first time I felt this way about a sword.
I hadn’t seen all the swords in the world, but I could tell. This sword was the best sword.

Jin Ha-gun slowly poured his inner energy into his sword and greeted the person he was,
as if responding to that greeting.

Woof!

The sword cried briefly.

After finishing the first exchange,
Jin Ha put the sword back in its scabbard. His heart was pounding as if it was going to burst.

“You said it was nothing?”

Geommugeuk answered Jin Hagun’s question with a smile.

“It doesn’t suit me. I’m too far from being a gentleman.”

Gentleman?

At that moment, Jin Ha-gun’s eyes grew wide and he shouted.

“Gentleman’s sword!”

At the surprised cry, Geommugeuk nodded.

“Yes, it is a military sword.”

Jin Ha-gun was astonished. How could he not know the greatest sword of all time?
The legendary sword was given to him as a gift.

“The leader of the martial arts world gave me three items as gifts from the report.”

The words of the sword dance that will be performed from now on were spoken to both Jin Pae-cheon and Jin Ha-gun.

“You are the leader who has been the leader all your life and has never touched any of the treasures. Considering your upright character, I think the sword will continue to be stored there in the future, right?”

That was right. Jinpaecheon had no intention of releasing the Gunja Sword into the world.

“I grew up under such a grandfather, so how could you be any different? The sword of the gentleman will be kept in the treasury for the next generation. That’s why I caused an accident. I thought that the sword would be able to see the world if I caused an accident. What do you think? I greeted the sword of the gentleman. You feel happy because you escaped that stuffy place?”

Jin Ha-gun didn’t know what to say.

“Really, you!”

He was right. It was a sword that he would never have had if it weren’t for him.
And it was a gift that he gave up one of the three he was supposed to have.

Jin Ha-gun looked at his grandfather. Jin Pae-cheon nodded at his eyes that asked if he could really receive this sword.
Jin Pae-cheon did not show his emotions on the outside, but he felt an overwhelming joy. He was much happier than if he had just returned to the report. The sword of the gentleman would protect his grandson more reliably than any other being.

Of course, the happiest person was Jin Ha-gun. What could be better than a warrior obtaining a good weapon? But what if that weapon was a military sword?

“Isn’t it good? Is it really so good that I want to dance?”

It was so good that I almost fell into this trap. I almost said yes.

“I heard that the Gunja Sword is the history of the Jeongpa. From now on, my friend will continue that history.”

Jin Ha-gun looked at the sword dance he loved as if it were his own work with trembling eyes.
He couldn’t say anything. He couldn’t express his gratitude in any words.

Jinpaecheon asked Geommugeuk.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Without even knowing this, I was needlessly worried about Gunjageom moving to Cheonmasingyo.

“I wanted to surprise you, but more than that, it was because I trusted you.”
“Because you trusted me?”
“Yes, even though I brought something I absolutely should not have taken, you didn’t stop me at all. I believed you would do that, and you kept your promise to the end. Now, you have become a bigger person in my heart.”

Jinpaecheon looked at Geommu-geuk in silence. Leaving aside Jeongsa-ma, leaving aside his status, he could only think that as a warrior, or rather as a human being, he was truly amazing.

“Then I will go.”

After Geommu-geuk respectfully bid farewell to the leader, he spoke to Jin Ha-gun.

“It’ll take some time for everyone to arrive. I’ll send you the location and time later.”

Jin Pae-cheon and Jin Ha-gun stood there for a while watching the back of the excited running figure.
When the figure of Geommu-geuk was no longer visible, Jin Ha-gun spoke calmly.

“There were times when I gave up. I thought, I can’t do this to that guy. No matter how hard I try, I can’t win.”

Jinpaecheon felt that this was not the end, so he asked calmly.

“How about now?”
“I’m not giving up, I’m going to let you go first.”

Jin Ha smiled at the look in his eyes that asked, “What does that mean?”

“He’s such an outstanding friend, so I should let him go first. Instead, I’ll quietly follow him.”

It was never about giving up. It wasn’t like I was determined to win, either.

It was the will to walk together with the Geommu Theater. Even if it was a little late, to silently walk through the same era.

“Someday, in the distant future, I may see that friend sitting on the rock with white hair waiting for me. Then I will tell him. Thanks to you, I was able to come this far.”

Jinpaecheon thought that his grandson, who had seemed so young, had grown up so much.
He had always been worried. About the martial arts world that Jinhagun would lead, and about his grandson who would have to deal with that sword martial arts master.
But today, he had different thoughts.

Now, instead of worrying about these kids, we need to cheer them on.

Jinpaecheon said as he walked towards Maengjujeon.

“When we meet, be sure to tell me. I was worried that you might take the Gunja Sword.”
