Chapter 1195 – 1195. Gwangmyeong Ascension Chart
I spent a few days helping Ha Seunghee.
Ha Seunghee and I spent almost two weeks going in and out of dungeons together, testing HB-1.
The results were positive. There were no fatal side effects. Using HB-1 in the dungeon sucked up all the nutrients from the ground and surrounding plants, but that was only in the dungeon. It seemed the special environment of the dungeon had an effect.
‘Hevil’s catalyst doesn’t do that.’
Hevil’s catalyst and its replica, HB-1, were similar yet different. Neither was noticeably superior. However, in terms of efficiency, the original Hevil’s catalyst was slightly better.
“Is all that’s left now to distribute HB-1?”
“No. The testing of HB-1 isn’t over yet. We need to study the plants grown with HB-1 and test if it affects anything else.”
“Then when are you planning to introduce it to the market?”
“At least a month. Maybe two? We need that much time.”
“…I believe you’ll do well.”
“I’m so grateful for your belief.”
Ha Seunghee replied with a nonchalant expression. She would probably release it to the market after all preparations were complete. A month or two? No way. She’d probably introduce it around the first quarter of next year.
“Did you find out the identity of that guy?”
The first day.
The man who attacked us in the dungeon. The guy who ended up killing himself.
“I investigated, but there isn’t much meaningful information. At least, I found out where he’s from.”
“Where is he from?”
“He’s from a Chinese minority. His wooden flute was an artifact. It had the ability to amplify and control sound. Objectively, it’s not a high-value artifact.”
“…Is China behind it?”
“Just because the attacker is from China doesn’t mean China is behind it. That’s too one-dimensional. Right now, China is too busy dealing with its own internal affairs.”
“In short, you haven’t found out anything.”
“Not right now. …I’m tracking the artifact. It might take time, but there will be results.”
“Okay. Let me know if you need my help.”
I said goodbye to her and parted ways.

[You have selected the Gwangmyeong Ascension Chart.]
[The game begins.]
I returned home and entered the world of the Gwangmyeong Ascension Chart.
I had occasionally entered this world and often used auto-progress. This world had plenty of time, so there was no pressure in using auto-progress.
No, auto-progress was essential. In this world, once you focused on training, years would pass by in a flash.
‘If it weren’t for auto-progress, I would have spent boring time just cultivating.’
I looked at the peak of Nakwol Mountain.
Many things had changed since I first came to Nakwol Mountain.
The old building used by Nakwol Goddess, Yu, was nowhere to be seen, and a luxurious building reminiscent of an American rich man’s mansion was located there.
Yu, more than me and Mireyeong, had become much more immersed in the building that we had actively created for our convenience. Having lived in a low-level civilization for at least hundreds of years, she couldn’t easily escape the taste of a high-level civilization.
‘Originally, I didn’t plan to build such a large mansion….’
Although Mireyeong’s request and assistance were there, building the mansion and creating a swimming pool was a tedious task. Even if it was a prefabricated building. If it hadn’t been for Yu’s request, which was like an order, I would have just enjoyed life moderately.
I approached the mansion.
Whoosh.
I felt like I passed through something. It was a special barrier set up by Mireyeong. Thanks to this barrier, when you look at the peak of Nakwol Mountain from afar, it just looks like an ordinary mountain peak. The mansion wouldn’t be discovered unless an outsider came close. And if they came close, Yu would step in.
I didn’t know what level Yu was at. She wouldn’t answer even if I asked. However, in this world, the older you are, the stronger you are. The higher your level, the longer your lifespan.
The Human Realm (人境) is divided into seven stages:
Entry (入式) ‣ Aspiration (出志) ‣ Five Energies (五氣) ‣ Three Peaks (三頂) ‣ Creation (造化) ‣ Myriad Forms (萬象) ‣ Ascension (登仙).
Upon reaching the Myriad Forms stage, one gains a lifespan of 1,200 years. I didn’t know Yu’s exact age, but she was at least at the Creation stage. Mireyeong and I guessed that Yu might be at the Myriad Forms stage.
Anyway, the current situation wasn’t bad. It was peaceful, and I learned a lot from her, my master.
‘How can I get Yu to fall for me?’
I continued to walk forward, pondering a question that had no answer. I had just come back from going down to the bottom of Nakwol Mountain. I periodically went down to the village at the bottom of Nakwol Mountain to buy necessities. I could bring food from other worlds, but it was much better to get herbs from this world.
Before opening the mansion door, I looked up at the second-floor terrace.
Yu, wearing sunglasses, was sitting leisurely on a sunbed. Surprisingly, she was wearing a blue bikini swimsuit. Her white skin and firm body were exposed. Her G-cup… no, H-cup breasts were so full that I wanted to bury my face in them.
‘If I attacked her, I’d be dead in a second.’
That old-fashioned woman had become so corrupted by modern civilization… Modern civilization was amazing.
“Disciple. Your gaze is scorching.”
Yu said, holding a glass of cocktail.
“I was momentarily blinded by my master’s beauty.”
Yu chuckled.
“You’re a man, so it’s an unavoidable instinct. I understand.”
She took a sip of her cocktail, then took off her sunglasses and looked at me.
“However, it is said that the relationship between a ruler, a teacher, and a father is one. I am a woman, so I am closer to your mother. Surely you wouldn’t harbor lust for your mother?”
My mom is in Gangwon-do.
Those words came up to my throat, but I swallowed them and bowed my head.
“How could that be? Am I making you uncomfortable, Master?”
“The movie I watched yesterday was about incest. It was quite shocking. I said that because the movie was so impressive, so don’t take it too seriously.”
“Of course, I’m not taking it seriously.”
It had been a week since I heard from Mireyeong that Yu had become interested in Brazilian waxing. Maybe Yu’s pussy right now….
I suppressed the urge to use my Heavenly Eye (天眼) to see through her. If Yu was a skilled practitioner, she would notice my gaze.
“Was there anything unusual in the village?”
“No. It was the same as usual. Oh, there was a rumor that bandits had appeared nearby.”
“The appearance of bandits is natural. They will disappear without a trace over time. Put the herbs in the storage.”
“Yes, Master.”
“And….”
Yu grabbed her smartphone from the table next to her. She skillfully checked the time.
“Come to me in 40 minutes. The research on the Shadow Heaven Style (影天流) and Heavenly Thunder Severance (天斷雷結) is complete.”
“Finally!”
“Yes. Oh, and please bring me a mojito when you come.”
Yu put her sunglasses back on and leisurely enjoyed the sunlight. However, her fair skin would never be tanned by the sun. She was too strong to be affected by something like sunlight.
I opened the mansion door and went inside. The interior was very spacious. I took off my shoes at the entrance. The robot vacuum cleaners that were roaming around the living room scattered in all directions to avoid my footsteps.
I opened the door to the storage room where a spell was cast.
Nam Gungseol was inside the storage room. She was examining the herbs. Nam Gungseol was currently learning alchemy from Yu.
“Gaga! You’re here?!”
Dada dada dada.
Nam Gungseol ran towards me. Her small stature was gradually maturing. I stroked her white hair.
“I just got here.”
“I was so lonely without Gaga.”
Nam Gungseol looked at me as if she wanted something. But I was also busy right now.
“Master called me. I have to go train. These are the herbs I bought from the village.”
“If Master called you, then it can’t be helped.”
“Where are Nam Gungrin and Mireyeong?”
“Rin unnie is always the same. She’s training. Mireyeong unnie is in her room.”
“She’s probably playing games.”
I hugged Nam Gungseol’s waist and kissed her. Our lips rubbed together, and our tongues intertwined.
“Ah, uhm… Gaga….”
I touched Nam Gungseol’s chest. Her breasts, which had started to develop late, had grown bigger than before. I fondled her breasts and then pulled away.
A few years ago, Yu had declared that she would prohibit sex on Nakwol Mountain during daylight hours. We could do it secretly, but if we got caught, we would be forced into a week of secluded training. What she said at that time was quite a sight.
-I don’t know if this is my house or a sex village.
After enjoying movies and dramas with Mireyeong, she had become very outspoken.
Nam Gungseol and I just kissed lightly and separated.
I immediately headed to the kitchen. I didn’t make the mojito that Yu ordered… instead, I entered the [Baekhwan] world and had a maid make a mojito. I took the mojito and went to the second-floor terrace where Yu was.
“You came in 10 minutes. You must have met Seol.”
“Haha. I did say hello to Seol.”
“Normally, you would have come just in the nick of time. I gave you 40 minutes considering that…. Well, it’s fine.”
Yu gracefully took the mojito.
She only moved her arm slightly, but her breasts, wrapped in the bikini swimsuit, jiggled. It was because her breasts were so big.
Sometimes I think this. I wonder if Yu is pretending not to, but is actually seducing me. At times like this, I desperately wish I had the ability to read minds.
“It’s delicious.”
She looked at a vacant lot while drinking the mojito. Nam Gungrin was swinging her sword there. Yu had taken Nam Gungrin as her disciple two years ago. Yu said it was because she showed promise… but from my perspective, it was just because she had grown fond of her.
Thanks to that, the family tree had become a mess. Nam Gungseol, my official wife, was Yu’s first disciple, I was the second, and Nam Gungseol’s older sister, Nam Gungrin, was the youngest.
“Are you looking forward to the Shadow Heaven Style and Heavenly Thunder Severance?”
“Yes. My heart is pounding with anticipation. I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
I said, glancing at Yu’s figure as she leaned back on the sunbed. Perhaps it was due to her acting skills, but she didn’t seem to notice my gaze.
“Don’t expect too much.”
“Huh?”
“If your expectations are too high, your disappointment will be great.”
Yu finished her mojito and got off the sunbed. She went inside the building and said,
“Wait a moment.”
After waiting for about five minutes, she came out. She was wearing green training clothes. Her hair was tied in a ponytail. She had a whistle around her neck and was wearing different sunglasses than before. She seemed to like the sunglasses very much.
“Let’s go, disciple.”
“Where to?”
“To the place where the starlight falls.”
Yu said it in a way that made her look cool, but that place was just an expression referring to the waterfall on Nakwol Mountain.
Starlight Falls.
It was an 80-meter-high waterfall. I often went there when I wanted to swim. The area under the waterfall had a different feel than a swimming pool.
