Chapter 169 – Let’s Talk After Surviving (3)
During the brief time it took to roughly suture my wounds, I replayed the fight with the elder in my head.
“As expected, it’s different from before.”
The momentary sensation of my body moving on its own to fight, which I had experienced several times before, was now under my control.
If that had been impossible, I would have been hit with the final blow and my skull would have been pierced, leaving me dead.
I had become a master of the peak. Although there was no physical change, I was certain that I had taken a clear step and reached the peak.
“Well, what’s the matter?”
“I want to try treating my wounds once…”
Until now, I would have had to insert my penis, but now I can treat the wounds without having to do so.
If Young-ho-kyung had been a little more intact, I would have lowered my pants right away, but…
“It’s a shame, but there’s nothing I can do.”
Anyway, even if I inserted my penis, the pain would be too severe to feel good. It would only make things worse later.
Moreover, the danger of becoming so addicted to sex that I only think about it was too great to ignore.
“But what about you? But the inner strength you’ve learned…”
“I think I can manage somehow. Will you allow me?”
“…I have no choice. Ugh…”
The elder, who gave me an unpleasant look, gave me permission and soon screamed and grabbed my hand.
“Hey, you! Where are you touching!”
“The perineum. Didn’t you give me permission?”
“Ah, no, that’s…”
“Think carefully. If the meridians of the female leader are irreversibly damaged, will you take responsibility, elder?”
I didn’t even have time for this kind of struggle, so I pushed hard and the elder eventually let go of my hand.
“Can you guarantee the result?”
“I can’t. And the longer I do this, the lower the success rate will be.”
“…Damn it.”
The elder turned his head sharply and seemed to be speaking to the others with his eyes. What are you doing, not looking at me?
While the others pretended to be busy and didn’t look at me, I put my hand on Young-ho-kyung’s perineum again.
“Ugh…”
As soon as I pushed my inner strength, the magi that had been violently attacking Young-ho-kyung’s whole body began to aim at me.
I had no intention of hitting it head-on.
I tried to flow the thin and concentrated stem of my inner strength into Young-ho-kyung’s meridians without disrupting the flow of magi as much as possible.
“With this, the preparation is roughly over…”
Chapter 169 – Let’s Talk After Surviving (3)
Up to this point, everything had been within my capabilities. The problem was resolving the clash between the Taoist and the magician.
“Madam So, can you hear me?”
Young-ho-kyung nodded her head with great effort.
“With my inner strength, I will induce Madam So’s inner power. Please try to release as much power as possible without resistance.”
“Al… right… ugh!”
Now, there’s no time to waste.
In the state of avoiding collision, there was no room for induction or manipulation. How could the opposing inner powers connect without any resistance?
“Is reversal not the answer?”
Reverse birth, a special flow that arises from the mutual generation and opposition of the five elements and their polarities.
Originally, the five elements of fire, water, wood, metal, and earth mutually generate and oppose each other, but sometimes the flow of mutual generation is reversed due to opposition.
For example, fire generates earth, but if earth suppresses water, the suppressed water becomes weaker, and as a result, the fire becomes stronger. This is called reverse birth, where the generation of fire and earth is reversed.
“When I only had the Yin energy left, I was able to withstand the cold of the Kunlun Mountains without any problem thanks to this… “
Unless a master of the magician’s level performs energy cultivation outside of the earth, the magician’s inner power is also formed by accumulating natural energy.
There is no way to deviate from this logic.
“The problem is that there is no entity to neutralize the conflict between the fairy energy and the magic energy in between…”
Even the idea of neutralization is ambiguous.
Neutralization… fusion… unification… Ah, but they can’t merge into one…?
As I was thinking about it, I came up with an idea.
Hyeoncheonjigi. The name that refers to the entire universe by adding eight to the 64 gua of Hyeoncheon.
I pulled back my inner power that was contained in Young-ho-kyung’s body and scattered all the inner power except for Hyeoncheonjigi.
And this time, I let only Hyeoncheonjigi flow into Young-ho-kyung’s meridians…
“That’s it…!”
Originally, the nature of Hyeoncheonjigi was not only fairy energy but also not fairy energy, unlike Cheonyangjigi and Hyeoneumjigi.
A type of inner power that can freely take on the nature of Yin and Yang, and does not collide with either fairy energy or magic energy.
“If it’s this…!”
As the small amount of Hyeoncheonjigi began to flow within Young-ho-kyung’s body, the wildly raging magic energy began to follow it and flow along her blood vessels.
Perhaps because of Young-ho-kyung’s response, the magic energy quickly rushed towards the vicinity of Hyeoncheonjigi.
“I have to endure it…”
Because the amount of Hyeoncheonjigi was too small, if it was swept away by the flow of magic energy, it would not be able to guide the flow properly and would not be able to expel the magic energy.
Even now, due to the effect of the Sacred Blood Sect’s medicine, a tremendous amount of magic energy was being newly generated within my body.
Chapter 169 – Let’s Talk After Surviving (3)
I continued to endure as Hyeoncheonjigi was being consumed by magic energy. I could feel the changes happening within me little by little, and I knew that if I continued to hold on, I could succeed.
Even Iljangro was half-doubtful when he placed his hand on So Gyoju’s lower abdomen. But as he sensed the considerable inner power raging inside her, he began to have some hope.
“What do you think? Will the treatment work?”
“I’m not sure… it will take a long time, but it seems possible.”
“Can I use that method too? If that person gets tired, I can…”
“…It might be difficult. If the magic energy increases, So Gyoju will only suffer more…”
Iljangro looked like he was about to explode, but he soon came up with a good idea.
“Blood demon! There’s a blood demon! He must have learned the same inner power as my disciple…”
“Perhaps it could be even more effective.”
By now, the report would have reached the head of the sect. They would know that Iljangro was here and that So Gyoju was in danger.
They had also sent a report that Kang Yoon was here, so the blood demon could also be with him.
He was an annoying person, but if he could save So Gyoju, Iljangro was ready to bow his head.
However, contrary to Iljangro’s hopes, Saekhyulma Yi Jasung was not accompanying So Gyoju.
“Why is he here?”
Iljangro had left the main hall of the sect with his four subordinates.
While pretending to be a merchant from the outside, some of his subordinates had escaped and rejoined him. Among the camels they brought with them was Kyunghyundong, who was lying unconscious.
“I’m sorry. He said he had something important to tell the elder…”
“No need.”
“He said he had good information to tell the elder that only he knows…”
Iljangro sighed at his subordinate’s words, knowing that they couldn’t just leave him behind.
“The trackers will come. Hurry.”
“Yes, elder…”
Before his subordinate could finish speaking, he suddenly collapsed. Iljangro immediately tried to defend himself with his inner power, but it was useless.
As all his subordinates fell to the ground as if under some kind of curse, Iljangro was shocked to see the face of an old man descending from the sky and grabbing his neck.
“Ugh…”
“Do you enjoy hitting other people’s precious disciples like that?”
The old man, Saekhyulma Yi Jasung, spoke in a casual tone as he held Iljangro’s neck.
Chapter 169 – Let’s Talk After Surviving (3)
I couldn’t speak as my throat tightened, and Iljangro couldn’t even move his arm as Saekhyulma Yi Jasung held him by the neck with his iron-like arm.
I tried to kick him, but my inner power was too weak to even lift my leg.
Iljangro, who had become an old man, was desperate, thinking, ‘Is this the end of the line for the so-called strongest in the world?’
“You have to tell me everything you know.”
Iljangro tried to resist with a determined look, but as soon as he met the blood demon’s piercing eyes, his will was crushed in an instant.
And a moment later, Iljangro’s body collapsed weakly, and the blood demon fell into deep thought, his mind occupied by the image of his disciple breaking through the pinnacle of the inner power in a life-or-death battle.
“An unknown force that operates between the righteous and the unrighteous…”
Iljangro seemed to know little about them, but they had undoubtedly reached out to him.
In Iljangro’s mind, there was a sense of expectation that if they joined forces, they could surely destroy the righteous martial arts world and take revenge.
The blood demon smirked and then disappeared from sight.
After a while, Iljangro and his subordinates regained consciousness, but they had no memory of why they were lying there and quickly left.
I opened my eyes.
“I don’t recognize this ceiling…”
“Of course you don’t. Are you feeling better?”
I turned my head to see Yeonghogyeong smiling down at me.
“So Gyoju… are you okay?”
“I remember that when I was feeling better, your condition was much worse.”
According to Yeonghogyeong, I had been in a state of delirium, trying to force him to use his inner power to heal me, even though my injuries were not fully healed from the beating I had received from Iljangro.
“Fortunately, our inner powers were compatible, and I fainted after removing the magic energy. Your father… no, the sect leader scolded the doctor for not treating you.”
I felt Yeonghogyeong’s hand holding mine.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to survive. And I was able to avoid the meaningless conflict in our sect.”
I didn’t understand everything he said, but I could understand his gratitude, so I smiled wryly.
“You are my benefactor. If you need anything, just tell me. For now, focus on recovering your strength…”
“Make love to me.”
“Make love…?”
I looked at Yeonghogyeong with a puzzled expression, and then belatedly regained my senses, screaming inside my head.
Crazy, what is this guy blabbering about!
