Episode 97: Life and Death
Thud. The emergency knife that had been thrown from my hand without a second thought landed somewhere.
A small robe was placed on top of the floating dust with the title, “Unryongdaepalsik (Cloud Dragon Great Eight Forms).”
If I had seen the martial arts books of the Samun School being handled like this in the Kunlun School, I would have used my chopsticks while eating to show off my Taiqing sword technique.
But I had no choice but to take out another book that was lying under my buttocks.
I sat cross-legged on a mountain of books piled high, read them, and threw them hundreds of times.
Before I knew it, my excited heart had settled down like dust, and I had an indifferent expression on my face.
“You want me to hit the sand heated in blood with my palm a million times? That’s why I’m called a magician.”
Whoosh. The martial arts book that would make you dizzy if you went out into the world was thrown out again.
In the Heavenly Palace, there were all kinds of martial arts, including Jeong, Sa, and Ma. However, none of them were of any help to me right now.
Even if I had learned the secrets of martial arts, I had neither the time nor the reason to practice it.
No method of mind could keep up with the Heavenly Demonic Art, and no method of cultivation could surpass the depth of the Super Emperor’s Ten Martial Arts.
But the reason why he couldn’t leave his seat and kept searching was because of the glimmer of hope he saw during the fight with the black demon.
‘The Chohwang Shipmu Ryuu is a super-formula that can be compared to any other martial arts. The problem is the internal energy. It cannot handle the Heavenly Demon God energy that pours out in one breath. It would be the same even if it was used with Hyeolra’s Blood Heavenly Water Energy or Han Soso’s Yin Yao Ice Energy. But how much worse would it be if you tried to find the answer with the Heavenly Demon God energy at the top of it all?’
But I did this ridiculous thing.
Clearly, in the life-or-death fight with the Demon Sword, he unleashed a perfect Brain Dragon Rampage using the Heavenly Demon Art.
The nature of the magic that raises one’s internal energy in one breath does not fit with the martial arts of the Jeongpa, where a gentle breeze rides the air current and transforms into a typhoon.
‘Then what should I do? I can’t understand it when I’m sober.’
Every time the Heavenly Demonic Spirit reaches its composition, I forget myself little by little. The memories are clearly unfamiliar, but at that time, I was overcome by an alien sensation as if possessed by a Heavenly Demon.
So, I couldn’t just pull up the configuration and practice.
Filled with such a sense of frustration and frustration, I habitually opened the emergency kit on the right.
“Life and death?”
Three letters written on the first page.
His tired eyes returned to their original state as if nothing had happened. He straightened his posture and suppressed his rapid heartbeat.
This is the martial arts that the Three Elders had talked about. His confident assurance created intense anticipation.
I licked my lips, which were dry from the long wait, and read the first sentence.
【Let me ask you. If a massacre that you cannot stop is imminent, how will you respond?】
The poem, written in a unique colloquial style, catches the eye from the very beginning.
An unstoppable killer… … Should I use the Heavenly Demonic Power to protect myself? Or should I just use a deathblow, giving up flesh and cutting bones?
I read the following sentence, drawing countless pictures in my head.
But.
【The moment you think about it, you are already dead.】
Are you kidding me? I turned the next page with a heavy heart at the unkind notice.
【I have lived my whole life dreaming of a fight with him that I could not overcome. There were many moments when life and death intersected like stars in the dark night, but I did not survive even one. Even though the great generals and the Seven Knights of the time could not avoid my sword. I did not survive. Because he was Dharma.】
I was confused. The three elders had already said this, but seeing it with my own eyes left me dumbfounded.
The time when Dharma Investigation was present was over a thousand years ago. This is the story of the time when the Gwangmyeonggyo was created.
Was the interest really a killing blow for both countries?
【The more you block the first attack he deploys, the stronger the backlash will be. So even if you block it, it will only delay the moment of death. Then what if you launch a counterattack? It’s impossible. Since all the secrets of martial arts are already stored in his head, they will be destroyed in an instant. That’s why I decided to abandon the form. Beyond simplifying the movements, I even forgot how to use the mind method. I made the moment of life and death mine.】
It feels like a steel ball is hanging from a pole and hitting my head. Like the three elders said, Iza is discussing the realm of the imaginary, the realm of the supernatural.
I knew better than anyone how great this was.
What is a herbivore? It is a means of maximizing efficiency and releasing it in accordance with the flow of internal energy.
Without this, it is obvious that internal energy consumption will be severe or movements will be interrupted, revealing a weakness.
That’s how I was at the moment. Because I was recklessly releasing my internal energy, I couldn’t fully utilize the power of the Heavenly Demon God Technique even though I had learned it.
But, I can’t even imagine giving up the herbivore style that I’ve been honing my whole life. That’s why I’m still trying to perform the Chohwang Shipmu style with a body that doesn’t suit me.
The founder of the poem of life and death wrote the following as if he had anticipated my question.
【Someone might ask, how do you erase habits that are ingrained in your body? How do you stop the movements that you reflexively react to even when your mind has forgotten? That’s right. I couldn’t erase that either.】
Ha, I laughed out loud. That joke was a bit too much. The symbol of teasing the younger generation is really annoying.
But contrary to my thoughts, the corners of my lips that had gone up did not calm down.
I don’t know for sure, but the cycle of life and death that goes in different directions has definitely led me.
【I don’t know if it’s beyond the current state, but at least I can’t erase the food I’ve been learning for decades. I’ve tried countless times to forget it, but I couldn’t. So I changed my mind. If I could spread the food but freely take it away and change it at any time. Isn’t that what Mucho is?】
It’s a reversal of thinking that I’ve never thought of before. Once you start to adopt a herbivore diet, it’s hard to go back.
The problem wasn’t my body, it was my inner strength.
Because if you forcefully reverse the flow of internal energy, you may suffer severe internal injuries.
That is why the law of destruction exists.
But if you can freely display different types of diets in the moment between life and death, how many opponents would be able to stop you?
【In order to master the Life and Death Poem, at least three conditions must be met. One, the body must not obstruct the movement of the muscles and bones, one, it must be free from the shackles of the Poem, and one, the body must become an outer garment that moves according to the grain of the internal energy.
I called it the Three Journeys and I could not see its end.
But since I don’t have any more time, I’m going to leave a trace behind like this and go to him.
By the time you read this, one of you, Dharma and I, will no longer be in this world. I hope that you will achieve greatness in life and death and meet again in the next life.
I felt a deep thrill at the traces he left behind, not even my name.
It seemed as if his pure, unselfish desire to go beyond the investigation of Dharma was being fully conveyed, as he had been struggling in the shadows his entire life.
I don’t know how his last fight ended, but I at least hoped that his efforts weren’t in vain.
and.
“I hope that I can also fulfill my ancestors’ wish.”
Although I cannot now show my discipleship since I have already paid my respects to the Heavenly Demon, I have decided to seriously approach my training.
*The conditions for life and death were simple.

A practice that removes the bonds of the muscles and bones from movement.
A perspective that expands the time of thinking.
The three realms that make the body follow the course of one’s internal energy.
Although there was no detailed explanation, I, who had already reached the realm of the flower realm, was able to realize how to practice it in no time.
The first eye must have extreme flexibility, and the second eye must have heightened sensitivity in reacting to the moving object.
Lastly, Samgyeong had to be able to move his internal energy freely in any direction he wanted, not just in one direction.
It’s not difficult since the Japanese and Chinese have already reached the end.
However, the three views ignore the right path of the mind, so if you are not careful, you may end up falling into the state of possession by the devil.
That must also be the reason why the wise man was unable to master it.
Yet I couldn’t shake off the trembling of intense anticipation.
I don’t know if the Three Elders knew this and told me, but the mind method I learned is the most suitable mind method for life and death.
Because it is the Heavenly Demonic Art, the magic of the reverse sky.
Because you can instantly send your internal energy to wherever you want.
It’s really funny.
The time of life and death is a martial art arranged just for me.
*All examples using the Life and Death Poem are based on dagger techniques similar to the Holy Fire Sword.
Also, the sage simplified everything as befitting his visible nature.
Cut in, draw out, and strike down.
Using the time of life and death, these three can be used to perform, cancel, and reverse countless actions.
I closed my eyes tightly and countless movements appeared in my head.
At some point, I was holding the Holy Fire Sword in my hand, and countless people I had faced so far appeared and disappeared.
The finale featured a joint attack by Guyangryong and Danjeonghak.
My heart burst and my throat was cut.
After hundreds of losses, I felt frustrated and hopeless.
So I went back to the beginning and started weaving the poem of life and death into the Chohwang Shipmu Ryu.
Failure, failure, failure.
As time went by, the formula I had learned was erased.
It wouldn’t have been easy if I had originally been a quantum mind, but since I am now a complete herbivore only in my head, it was possible.
*I don’t know how much time has passed.
Am I awake? Is this real?
I got up from my seat, floated up and danced, and time stopped for the world.
*Finally, for the first time, we achieved victory in the joint attack of Danjeonghak and Gu Yangryong.
It was a fierce battle.
By incorporating the Life and Death Poem into the Chohwang Shipmu Martial Arts, he unleashed the Brain Dragon Rampage with the Holy Fire Demon Sword, then deflected the flying Thousand-Sal Bido with the Danwol Slash, and poured out the Wall Power Perception in return.
In a split second, the three types of supernatural powers change while leaving afterimages behind, so the time of life and death is truly a martial art of supplementation that breaks the limitations of the supernatural power from a different perspective.
Through this, I was able to unfold the final stage of the Super Emperor’s Ten Swordsmanship, which I had never been able to reach.
No, is this the Ten Mu? No. It can no longer be called the Super Emperor Ten Mu Ryu.
The Ten Heavenly Demon Martial Arts that have been mutated to match the Heavenly Demon Art.
Yeah, that would be more appropriate.
*Opened my eyes.
The surroundings remain the same, nothing has changed.
The only thing that reminded me of my training was the feeling that dozens of different types of food would unfold without a break at any moment and the heat I felt from upstream.
I lower my head slightly and see the poem of life and death lying at my feet.
“I don’t know how to express my gratitude. I will devote myself to making sure that the martial arts you left behind are put to good use.”
I returned to the entrance holding the poem, cleaned up the area, and bowed three times.
If it weren’t for the time of life and death, I wouldn’t have been able to grasp the thread of the Cheonmasipmuryu, and I wouldn’t have even thought of the Seonghwamaggeom.
However, now that I have obtained the Life and Death Poem, if I can make it completely mine, I will be able to surpass the limits of the Heavenly Demonic Art and unleash the Heavenly Demonic Sipmuryu.
I turned the pages of the diary one by one again, still full of lingering emotions.
“Perhaps the sage could not have killed the Dharma patriarch who had reached the Shinhwagyeong, but he would have fought an equal battle.”
It wasn’t just lip service. The life and death poem was clearly the best martial arts.
If Cheonma Shingong is the extreme of the mind method, and Chohwang Shipmu Ryu is the extreme of the supernatural method, then Saengsa Shi is the extreme of physical training.
This was truly a coincidence.
If I hadn’t realized the ultimate skill of the Chohwang Shipmuryu and hadn’t learned the Cheonma Shingong, the only martial art that can break through the three realms.
If it weren’t for Ma Cheon So’s body, which was insensitive to the Super Emperor’s Ten Moo Ryu.
I would never have learned the art of life and death so quickly.
“Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve seen the last chapter.”
As I was turning the pages of the book, I saw the last page that I had not been able to read.
I was so lost in meditation that I had no time to reflect.
But is there anything left? All the knots of life and death have been revealed.
I slowly turned the pages of the book, filled with questions.
“What… what is this?!”
And then I had to scream silently, because there was a trace of him that shouldn’t have been there.
Why.
【I’m scared. I’m so scared.
I should never have been born.
No matter what you do, you can’t escape the devil’s shackles.
Any effort leaves me feeling empty.
They will scold me and blame me, but I hate myself more than they do.
I hate myself so much for being so helpless and unable to overcome anything.
I’m scared.
Who am I?
I’m scared.
I’m afraid of the eyes watching me through that hole.
Who are you?】
A handwriting that looks like it was written while drunk.
He’s a guy.
The leader of the small group, Ma Cheon So… … .
