Chapter 130: 11th Cycles First Day

Chapter 130: 11th Cycles First Day/translatingnovice Blink. I slowly open my eyes. This death was more peaceful than any before. And at the same time. The most painful one. Drip. Tears fall, but I wipe them away and regain my composure. At the end of my life, I fully felt her heart. She wished that I would not die but live. She hoped that I would no longer be sad. Going forward, it will be impossible not to feel sadness in life. But, let's not torment myself to the point of collapse. Because she would be sad. With that resolution, I form a hand seal. The domain of consciousness vibrates, putting to rest my colleagues attempting to awaken. A familiar headache resounds in my head. Wo-woong! I suppress my consciousness right away through the Five Elements Blood Curse Banner within my upper dantian. No need for hastily splitting my consciousness or eating yellow bamboo root. Its quite convenient. And then. Stab! "!?" I stagger, clutching my stomach. 'What's this now?' After the headache, its now the stomach? In incomprehension, I clutched my stomach, gritting my teeth. My stomach, or more precisely my dantian, started hurting as if its being torn apart. 'Why again...' After gritting my teeth, I decided to first look for yellow bamboo roots. Shortly after, I consumed a bamboo root and quickly underwent complete transformation, rapidly forming my Inner Core. Only after forming my Inner Core did I feel the pain near my dantian subside. 'What exactly is this?' Just when Im wondering, I suddenly feel something near my Inner Core. 'This is...?' My eyes widen at the familiar energy I feel from my Inner Core. "This is...!" I hurriedly expel Gang Qi from my Inner Core, refine it into Pure Spiritual Force in a rough manner, and form a hand seal. Chalalalak! And then. Flash! Around me. Three thousand familiar objects reveal themselves. The dharma treasure, the Colorless Glass Sword. The dharma treasure made for me by Hyang-hwa had followed me through time.Updated from Then. Poof! After the Colorless Glass Swords appeared, a brightly colored norigae also popped out. I stare blankly at this sight and wipe my eyes with shaking hands. I just resolved not to shed too many tears. Yet here I am, crying shamefully again. With a trembling voice, I murmur. "Its been passed down..." The connections between us. Transcending time, they returned with me. The time I spent with her, The moments we shared together, Those entire memories, Did not completely disappear. For the first time, I gained a companion that will travel through this endless time with me. After spending enough time watching the Colorless Glass Swords and collecting my thoughts, I pondered. 'How did they follow me?' This is an important issue. Is it because I refined them into a natal dharma treasure that allowed them to follow me? Or is there something more to it? And if there is something more, what can it be? After pondering for a while, I come up with one theory. White-Red Wine. I recall the ability of the immortal liquor called White-Red Wine. It certainly has the power to strengthen the connection with dharma treasures. And, thinking about it further. When I first drank White-Red Wine. It was a critical situation, so I couldn't recall it well, but certainly.... It felt like my soul itself was connected to the dharma treasure.... Therefore, the power attained when reaching Treading Heaven Beyond the Path with the Surpassing Radiant Saber seems to be cutting space or space escape. Its likely due to the difference in what he and I are pursuing. He wants to surpass light, and I want to escape everything. Hence, if the Surpassing Radiant Saber transcends space, it truly surpasses light, and if the Formless Sword can selectively cut through anything, it truly escapes all limits. Pl-please forgive me. The fox, trembling all over, pleads to me. What should I do Right now, I can use the Formless Sword infiltrated into the fox's body to extract its Demon Core immediately. In fact, the few times I wrestled with this fox were just to test the capabilities of the Treading-Heaven realm. From the beginning, I could have extracted the foxs Demon Core in less than a second. I ponder the fox's fate for a moment and then remove my hand from its chest. Its alright, I forgive you. Th-thank you, thank you! The fox bows its head in gratitude and then dashes away over the mountains. I still harbor some resentment towards the fox. Though in my last life, Having suffered such immense pain, the anguish inflicted by the fox had largely faded from my memory. And once is enough to teach it a lesson I smirk. It feels like only yesterday that the fox had torn off my arm, but now I have grown strong enough to extract its Demon Core in a second without any effort. Of course, this is because I practiced for 400 years after reaching Beyond the Path to Heaven. I slowly return to my companions. Using a consciousness technique, I begin transferring the knowledge of the Record of Transcending Cultivation and Exhausting Martial Arts and the enlightenments reaching Treading Heaven Beyond the Path to Kim Young-hoon. Itd be convenient to have a real memory transfer technique. I had been transmitting knowledge to Kim Young-hoon through consciousness all this time, but in truth, this is more of a formula transmission rather than a memory transmission. Its more about conveying organized information than transmitting actual memories. As I finish transferring everything to Kim Young-hoon, Step, step. Theres one more ability to Treading Heaven Beyond the Path. The awaited one is approaching from behind. Sensitivity has become even sharper. Detecting the approach of the fox demon and the flow of intent was clearer and more detailed than before. In the past, I might not have noticed his approach. But now, at this level, it seems permissible to notice. I stand up and bow respectfully. This cultivator junior, Seo Eun-hyun, greets Senior Mad Lord Jo Yeon. [Hoo, watching you fight with the fox was interesting.] The reason I had a noisy fight with the demon fox, creating a lot of commotion when I could have ended it in 1 second was for one reason. To attract the Mad Lord. [You, you're a strange one indeed. You're not a Nascent Soul cultivator, but how can you play with a mid Core Formation fox as if its a toy doll? Moreover, is that some kind of body refining technique? Your consciousness seems to be enveloping your physical body Fascinating, truly fascinating.] I am humbled to show such a trivial skill before a senior who has lived through countless years. [Huh, how curious. I don't sense any spiritual power from you] The Mad Lord fails to perceive my Inner Core this time. Of course, that is to be expected. After reaching Treading Heaven Beyond the Path, my Inner Core has completely dissolved into the Formless Sword. Looking at the Mad Lord, I begin to speak. Senior, do you know the story of a man and a woman? [Hmm?] In the mountainous regions of Shengzi... there's a story passed down about two immortals. Those who were saved by their righteousness created a memorial festival to honor their deeds. ...! Startled, I shiver under the Mad Lord's gaze. He looks at me. His wide, flickering eyes tells me to continue. Wrongly speaking to the Mad Lord can lead to being captured alive and being turned into his puppet. But. The story I am about to tell is my own. Long ago, in the mountainous regions of Shengzi, I fell in love with someone. Thus, I recount my story to the Mad Lord, omitting the parts regarding regression. And so, I embraced the remains of my beloved and swore. I will tear apart the limbs of that man, scatter them in the four directions, shred his body and feed it to dogs, and then offer his head at the memorial of my beloved. [.] The Mad Lord continues to look at me with those shimmering eyes. To an outsider, itd be unclear whether he is listening to the story or glaring at me. But I can tell from his intent. It worked. The Mad Lord speaks. [What was that man's name?] Bloodwood Practitioner Yuan Li. He is located in the Heaven-Treading Desert along these coordinates. Living in a black castle, he is a Nascent Soul cultivator hiding his true power. [Is that so.] Chew, chewchewchewchew.... Suddenly, the hunchback old man starts biting and chewing his fingers, saliva dripping from his chin. The Mad Lord, in this state, meets my gaze with sparkling eyes. [Lead the way.] 11th cycles first day. What was supposed to be a story to perhaps gain some help from the Mad Lord regarding a distant curse, set forth a journey with the Mad Lord to Yuan Li's castle.
