Chapter 591 – King Yan’s Disciple 6 (12)

I met Kaena at an unexpected time.

The reason she appeared with all nine of her tails spread out was probably to eliminate the risk of being caught off guard.

No matter what method I used, if you listen to the story of how I fought the Spear Dragon Emperor and the two-legged lizard, my ‘speed’ was something to keep in check.

Even though the afterflame breaking technique that Master had acknowledged is no longer the most powerful technique, it is still the fastest technique I have.

‘Still, I thought I couldn’t win.’

If Kaena’s strength hovers around 95-100, wouldn’t mine be around 80-110? I thought that even if I set the minimum higher, I couldn’t set the number above 90.

And the problem is that if you use a technique that can reach that 110, the transcendent, there is no going back.

In the past, mana consumption was a problem, but now the connection with the two summons that control my magic and divinity is lost, and a soul problem arises.

Should I say that after overcoming one wall, there is another wall? The sky was really high.

I followed Master on my way to the manor.

In the past, to relieve the yang energy from the stoma, the master held a courtesan and drank alcohol.

After the time to solve the problem, I remember walking along the night streets of Jeokgye with my teacher like this.

Things have changed a lot now compared to then.

After deciding to take Zhuge Xian as her wife, she did not embrace her as a courtesan, and Master stopped her from drinking after seriously injuring her body.

“Master.”

“Okay. What do you want to ask?”

“Can the fox ascend to heaven now?”

Suddenly, a question arose.

In general, ascension is thought of as having gained absolute power to move upward and giving up one’s attachment to the world.

Master was at that stage, but after accepting me as his disciple, he gave up on ascension and began to look into the things he had let go of for the sake of ascension.

Since he was too old to start a family, he was especially concerned about Cheongrin, who was like his granddaughter.

Of course, Kaena doesn’t seem to have any big regrets since she came down to this world for a while just to gain strength, but what can I say? I felt like my insight was lacking.

In the case of the teacher, he knew at some point that I was a possessor who had taken over Han Xian’s body, but the fox didn’t seem to know.

‘Kaena can’t see through that.’

So, while I was thinking about it, I asked Master a question.

“Hmm… I’m not sure, but I don’t think I can do it right now. It seems like he’s trying to narrow down his lingering feelings to the existence of ‘you’, but that fox seems too greedy.”

“Is that so?”

Are your eyes not clear because of greed, so you are unable to see through them? If you listen to Master’s words, the possibility of that happening is quite high.

“Isn’t that the same for you? I guess I should say that you have more thoughts than greed.”

“I don’t dream of ascension, so it’s okay, right?”

“It’s not necessary when fighting. Haven’t you mastered heart martial arts by now?”

“That’s right. Now all I have to do is think about defeating the fox.”

We walked slowly down the street at night with Master and talked a little more about various things.

There have been a lot of stories about Cheonglin that Master has been paying attention to recently, but he knew more than I, who intentionally kept his distance from me.

At first, Yeonhwa didn’t know how to deal with Master, but she thought of him as just a local grandfather who liked her daughter.

‘I’m so glad.’

After finishing my night walk with my teacher, I came to see Zhuge Xian.

When I saw Jegal Seon-ah greeting me wearing the thin clothes she wears when she sleeps, I felt something off in her.

“Huh?”

“Xian, what’s wrong?”

Jegal Seon-ah blinked her eyes and asked in a worried voice, but she said there was nothing wrong with me.

I hugged her tightly and lifted her up slightly and placed her on her bed.

She still didn’t understand my actions, so I put my hand on Jegal Sun’er’s stomach as she blinked.

‘I feel vitality.’

It was too early to determine her gender, but I was able to know for sure that Jegal Seon-ah was carrying my child.

“It looks like…?”

“Yes. It looks like it.”

“Really…?”

Jegal Seon-ah placed both her hands on her stomach where I removed her hands and slowly inhaled her breath and repeated her exhalation.

As she was watching, she made a very stupid face that I don’t usually see, and Jegal Seon-ah said to me.

“What should I do?”

“I need to eat well, rest well, and stay healthy. Wouldn’t it be okay to ask my mother or Yeonhwa?”

“She asked her mother and she said the hardest part was not having her husband at home.”

At that time, my father often went on commercial trips to grow his business.

I thought that my mother, who raised three brothers with a small age difference, was truly amazing.

In the case of Yeonhwa, I thought of her as my child and thought about raising her alone, and after the name incident, she showed little dependence on me.

“Ah…”

But isn’t this what it is? I also have to leave home for a while for the final battle with Kaena.

Of course, you can easily go back and forth by using the warp marker, but since ‘that power’ is a power that Han Xian cannot use, I have no intention of showing it.

I lightly kissed Jegal Seon-ah on the forehead and then forced her to lie down on the bed.

“I’m not sure yet…”

Jegal Seon-ah, who lay down on the bed with a dazed expression and pulled the blanket up to her neck, looked at me and said.

“Sister.”

“Huh?”

“Did you hear that the imperial family sent me a secret letter?”

“Yes. They said I have to go to Xinjiang…”

“It’s something that even Master Yeomwang can’t solve. I have to go.”

“I have a child, but I can’t put it off…?”

“I will finish it and come back within half a year.”

Jegal lay down next to Seon-ah, who had a dissatisfied expression on her face, and hugged her body.

I had a long, wordless conversation with Jegal Seon-ah, who calmly calmed down in my arms, and when Jegal Seon-ah fell asleep, I got up from the bed.

*

Like Jegal Seon-ah, her parents knew that I had to go, so they allowed it without any regrets.

After saying hello to my two older brothers and sister-in-law, I exchanged greetings by making eye contact with Yeonhwa, who was holding Cheongrin in her arms.

“I’ll come back. Still, Xian left a trace on me.”

Jegal Seon-ah spoke to me with her hand slightly placed on her lower stomach, as if she wanted to tell others.

I hugged Jegal Seon-ah tightly once and then let her go.

When I went up to the roof, I said hello to the master who was having a drink instead of tea for the first time in a while and then told his family.

“Then I will come back.”

“Everyone is fine!”

The only person leaving with me was Shahemos, and I thought it would be better to say that I achieved Buddhahood through this trip.

There may be people who don’t believe that and curse that I abandoned my child… You should accept it as karma.

“Seobang, it seems like it’s been a while since we’ve been on the road together?”

Shahemos, who began his final journey in the form of Sohye, said.

“I’ve been leaving you at home lately.”

“Yes. Honestly, if you’re going to leave me alone like this, it’s better to mix in with the master♡ Wozniel doesn’t express his dissatisfaction either, right?”

(That’s because it would be difficult for the master to keep me after summoning me.)

Summoning Wozniel using Divine Craft was a bit burdensome as it did not restore mana like Shahemoth.

“Ah. Is it better to stay connected to the master than to be far away?”

(Hmm… That’s what you said.)

When I heard that the souls of two women were mixing with my soul, I felt a little strange. Could it be that they are balancing yin and yang?

With that in mind, I mentioned the first stop on this journey.

“Let’s go to Shaolin first. We need to check whether Chobaek and Hye-ah, who were left there, are adjusting well.”

Having decided on a direction, I walked down the road with Shahemos.

*

“It hasn’t even been a day since I met Kaena.”

I could feel that the number of monsters roaming the streets had increased significantly.

After going up to Hapbi where the Namgung family was located, I planned to make a sharp turn toward Hanam, where Shaolin is located, but the forest was filled with orcs, starting with goblins.

Should I say that it is like a dungeon opened to students at Global Academy?

Black Wheel Yunbo.

I’m moving around while cutting down monsters by blowing out a ring of shadow. Anhui, far away from Xinjiang, looks like this, but I don’t know what it’s like around there.

‘If you use the warp marker, you can go to Sacheon in an instant, but this time, you have to make my name known.’

I honestly didn’t like the idea that in order for me to make my name known, someone would have to suffer, and I would have to save them.

Is it because Cyan Raven’s tendencies remain? Even if no one knew about my achievements, I had a strong desire to reduce the suffering of others.

‘Still, I can’t help it.’

Zhuge Xian had my child.

The only way for me to make my name known in the central world is to find someone, because my background is inferior compared to that of Zhuge Sega, the top of the Han family.

I would raise my reputation as much as possible during the half a year I thought, define Kaena as an enemy of humanity, and then defeat her.

‘If you want to live in a sunny area, you have to use more planting than in a shaded area.’

It may be more so because the job I had when I was in the dark was an assassin who just killed without thinking, but it seemed like there were a lot of things to think about in order to move up no matter where I belonged.〈 Br〉

“If you want to make yourself known, you should use white flame rather than yunbo.”

After retrieving the ring of shadow, I filled my fist with heat.

Seeing his comrades being cut down by the ring of shadows, he leapt towards the orcs who had begun to run away and then took power.

Yeomryun Fist (炎輪拳) Ten Wheel (十輪).

A column of pure white flame, visible even in broad daylight when the sun was shining, spewed out from my hand.

He took the first step toward becoming King Yeom.
