Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 81

Unity (2)

‘I think it would be a good idea to grow out my hair······?’

It is the joke of the absolute being who protects the world alone.

He was a noble man who rarely made jokes.

No matter what was said, it was not okay to let it slip. Jeongyeonshin had to do that.

He recalled the time when he went to find the Heonwonchang. He debated with local martial artists to get information.

I learned the value of hospitality by losing a verbal battle to gain favor.

When you become a master, you grow your hair out. Keep it in your heart.

‘But if they are true masters, wouldn’t you say they are experts at that level?’

The black area is said to be the place where the energy of Samhwachwijeong and Ogijowon is achieved.

I heard that it is a realm where Jin-gi reacts directly to thoughts. It is a world that can stand up to the elders of the renowned Gupa.

By then, it seemed like there would be no need to grab long hair in close combat.

After you have entered the realm of ascension, you may grow your hair out.

It was a very brief thought. I met his green eyes again, and the Lord of the Palace opened his mouth.

“Your expression is determined. What nonsense.”

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“Even if the world’s best martial artist dies, his fierceness will not be lacking. It’s not bad to look at.”

“······I’m sorry.”

“It’s nothing to be thankful for, nor anything to be ashamed of.”

Her tone was as gentle as a gentle breeze. She continued speaking slowly.

“Your nature is not stingy with the price. I have called you to reward you for the achievements you have made through your aspirations, so I will give you what you deserve.”

at las.

Finally, the story I heard from the lord touched my heart. I had to calm down, but it didn’t work well.

Even though I let out a long breath, my heart was pounding.

Even though she was aware of everything, she didn’t stop smiling.

Everything in sight slowed down. Her lips, which had finished her words, opened again.

“Your achievements are very great. I will tell you two things.”

The beauty that testified to her peerless power did not catch my eye.

I just stared at her face, which looked only four or five years older than me, as if trying to engrave it into my mind.

“The merit of finding the root cause of the evil cult that was harming the people’s livelihood, and of greatly contributing to the eradication of the evil cult without sacrifice.”

“······.”

The former’s merit was simply an incident that arose because Chil-sado coveted the value of Jeongyeon-shin.

That was the beginning of the main incident. However, I was not embarrassed. The reward that was coming at this moment was more important than anything else.

“I would say you have sufficient achievements. I am worthy of testing your qualifications.”

He reaches out again with words.

A pure white palm slowly rose up, as if it were unmanned. Something very strange had happened.

The moonlight behind the Emperor’s residence began to waver as it was pulled by hand.

It is truly a transcendental spectacle. It is not a human event. That is how Jeong Yeon-shin felt.

“This is.”

Hwaak.

The huge tree trunks surrounding the office blew a breeze. It felt like tickling my body.

It was the moment when the leaves, turned green by the dazzling breath of the full moon, brushed her entire body.

“It is the fruit of the world tree. It is a small fragment.”

It was something like a handful of moon reflected on a lake. A ray of light appeared on the hand of the Emperor of Heaven. It was hazy, as if moonlight had been created.

“······.”

Jeongyeonshin was silent. A gust of wind blew from outside without any walls, teasing her neck and passing by. It was the most bizarre miracle I have ever seen in my life.

Woof.

Even the vibration sounded divine. I stared intently at the shard of light in the palm of the noble one’s hand.

I didn’t feel anything, even though it was my life’s goal. It was different from the elixirs that are commonly used to increase internal energy.

There is no sense of turbulence or anything like that. It is just full of a sense of wisdom.

“I know what is known to the world.”

The Emperor opened his lips.

When I raised my head, I met the gaze of the forest, which was like a bottomless pit. It was staring blankly at Jeongyeonshin.

“You are all wrong. This is not an elixir of great strength.”

“You mentioned qualifications. Then what······?”

“You have to feel it to know.”

Her hand moved slightly forward, bringing the shard of light closer.

The more I looked at it, the more mysterious it became. It didn’t seem like something from this world.

“Try it.”

It was the moment when I unconsciously raised my hand in response to the words of the Emperor. She slowly shook her head.

“If you leave this body, you will lose your functions. You must bring me your mouth.”

There is a saying, “The strange is strangely rewarding.”

It meant rare and strange treasures. Imoogi, spirits, monsters, and even ginseng in human form.

This was the case with many of the world’s most famous divine swords that were said to be capable of transferring powers, as well as the famous elixirs of the Central Plains.

He said that the upper echelons of the martial arts world are full of things that are difficult to accept with common sense.

‘If you leave the body, you lose your functions?’

The Emperor of Heaven spoke as if he were the master of the world.

Countless questions arose in my head. Could it be connected to something spiritual?

Does the term ‘Guardian of the World’ encompass such a meaning?

But I couldn’t dare say it out loud. I was afraid of showing my presumptuous words and actions.

This is Jeong Yeon-shin’s current position. He was not called a master by the lord. He was in a position where he had to accept whatever was given to him.

‘Senior Cheongmyeong said. The higher your rank, the more information you are exposed to.’

First of all, I decided to stick to black. That was enough for now.

‘still.’

Even so, the piece of the Heavenly Tree in front of you is a fitting reward. You should take it.

Jeongyeon Shin lowered her head slightly toward her hand without hesitation.

At the same time, he slowly opened his mouth. First, his lower lip, and then the tip of his nose lightly touched her hand.

“uh?”

Jeongyeonshin let out a questioning groan. It was because Iphwangseongju had withdrawn his hand.

“You don’t look good.”

The tone was calm. At the same time, fragments of the fruit fell to her fingertips and clung to them.

Swish.

Just extend your hand.

A dim light slowly filled Jeongyeonshin’s field of vision. There was no movement towards her mouth.

It was straight to the head. The passage leading straight to the upper chamber seemed to be already reacting.

Her long fingers touched Jeongyeonshin’s forehead.

That was when.

“Huh!”

Deep breathing was cut off immediately. It had to be that way. Consciousness flew away in an instant.

I felt as if I was sinking into an abyssal swamp, but at the same time, a sense of endless exaltation enveloped all my thoughts and soared.

Hwaaaaak─!

It wasn’t a rise in power. It was an experience.

It was as if I had entered the mind of an untouchable being. A tidal wave of senses arose. It really moved rapidly.

It brings the energy of Mother Nature by allowing you to feel each and every detail of the air that brushes your skin.

I became more sensitive than I ever imagined. It was a cognitive ability that could make me go crazy and die.

Suddenly, I became aware of the slowly flowing time. I saw the flowing moonlight.

This moment.

Jeongyeonshin was in harmony with Iphwangseongju. She felt the sight and the atmosphere together.

She looked at herself with her eyes. The lord’s features reflected in the pitch-black body were mysterious.

Among all the miracles in the world, is there another case like this? It was just hard to believe.

······That moment felt like an eternity.

Her thin breathing was clear, yet she had not yet finished exhaling even once.

The wind that had brushed past my ears had not yet faded away. But it was hard to bear. Gradually, my upper body began to burn as if it was trying to hold on.

“It was done.”

The moment the Emperor of Heaven spoke in a hushed tone, the suffocatingly long time suddenly regained its flow.

Wow!

Jeongyeonshin returned to herself. Her body was swaying. It seemed to be because she had experienced a sensation that seemed to have surpassed the realm of super-ascension.

Just as he was about to lose his balance, a soft hand grabbed his shoulder.

It was the Emperor’s castle.

“Not now. It’s too early.”

She said. Jeongyeonshin just raised her head and met her gaze.

“What do you mean by early······?”

“Your realm is too shallow to accept the fruit. Be diligent in your cultivation.”

“Just now, what the hell was the use?”

“I have tested whether you can accept the spirit of the Heavenly Tree. If your vessel of thought becomes strong, as long as the tree of your clan does not wither, you will not have to go to Baekhoehyeol to get a good fortune. You will live forever.”

It talks about spirituality. It seemed to mean that he shared the divine nature of Cheonhamok and held onto his lifeline.

This was also something that went against common sense.

Jeongyeon Shin asked if her understanding was correct.

“Your interpretation is correct.”

The Emperor slowly nodded his head. The fruit was the medium.

‘what······.’

I experienced with my whole body the mystery that is said to be one of the best in the world. Before I entered the temple, I thought of the panacea that was passed down as a legend.

It was only half right. Jeong Yeon-shin felt a sense of emptiness and asked again.

“Ascend to the rank of the Divine Sword Master… and receive the perfect fruits with appropriate achievements. In this way, you will reach the state of purple robes and be able to handle the spirituality of the Heavenly Tree. Is that what it means?”

“That’s true too.”

“···Then, what was the feeling that this unworthy disciple had just now······?”

He asked about the world he saw and felt through the eyes of the lord. The corners of her mouth slightly rose.

“It was inevitable.”

Swish.

A gentle hand on his shoulder gently pushes Jeongyeonshin away.

“It was a gift.”

“ah.”

He climbed down from the tree trunk. Suddenly, all his senses returned.

However, the extraordinary world I had experienced before was vividly remembered.

That’s why it’s a test, and that’s why it’s a gift.

I don’t know what she meant by inevitability, but it was an experience that would lead her greatly at some point.

Maybe it would help with the task at hand. The inspiration for the creation of the mind method was rising. It was very strong.

“Good luck. Until you reach Namjikrye.”

She said.

It seemed that Jeong Yeon-shin knew that she had been selected for the mission to punish Namgung Se-ga.

The general office was said to handle all affairs of the castle, but it seemed that there were also things she was interested in.

‘It’s a congratulatory message.’

He said, “Good luck!” and that it was okay to leave.

“May the Lord be at peace.”

Jeong Yeon-shin calmly gave an example.

Sarak.

The sound of the hem of the clothes gently swishing came to me vividly once again.

The lord leaned back slightly. He leaned against the tree trunk and lay down.

Jeongyeonshin turned around as she slowly closed her eyes.

The moment I left the office, the stone door that had opened by itself closed on its own.

It must be the secret of the empty space that the Lord of the Heavenly Kingdom has spoken. I am now familiar with it.

Jeongyeonshin came down the stairs. Unlike when she came up, it felt much shorter.

‘So that’s what the fruit was like.’

My heart felt strange. Maybe it was because I had experienced something unimaginable.

I fully realized one of the mysteries of the world. I thought that anyone who experienced it would feel the same way.

I even heard the word eternal life. It was a story that was completely different from my current self. It was the complete opposite.

‘Even if you receive the fruit.’

I knew I wasn’t at the level to contain that ability.

The experience of completing a mission increases your martial arts prowess and increases your achievements. Ultimately, it means that you have to go back to the basics.

Damn it.

The boy who came out of the inner castle of Iphwangseongju walked silently.

His shadow gradually grew longer in the bright moonlight. The deep night was drawing to a close.

* * *

The next day, the Ma Gwang-ik Daeyeonmujang.

An official document came down through the General Office. It was a letter detailing the following mission.

Jeong Yeon-shin, sitting in the middle of the training ground, opened the mission assignment book.

The seniors surrounded him in a circle. It was a bit funny to see them all gathered together and looking down.

“The name of Seomye is on the list of non-combat delegations. It’s really written there.”

“It is truly an honor. If only I were ten years younger······.”

It seemed that some of the seniors who had a more refined eye than Jeong Yeon-shin had looked at it first.

The boy read the letter that was written in a hurry, ‘List of Dispatch’. He skipped over the miscellaneous introduction and went straight to the list.

[The following five are considered life and death decisions.]

Namgungga Changryeonghwaju.

Namgungga Sogaju.

Namgungga Changgunggeomcheondanju.

The head of the Namgung family.

Namgung family.

[The following natures should be prepared for.]

Suncheonik Baekgirin.

Magwangik Island.

The original lord of the city.

The Emperor’s House.

The new sword master.

‘New Sword Master?’

Jeongyeonshin’s eyes grew wide.
