Return of the Freshman - Return of the Freshman-Episode 271

Episode 271: Separating your future self from your soul

The Saengsacheon Pavilion was a test site that penetrated an entire mountain of the Samshinsan Mountain and superimposed tremendous spiritual pressure, monsters, and spatial cracks that even Thunderbolts, Earth Flowers, and Hwasingi monks could not withstand.

Gui Seong-jin, who saw the view of life and death, asked Tae Heo Seon-in.

“Is it this dangerous to go up through the spirit world?”

“It’s ten times more dangerous than this. Do you know why I waited for you instead of going alone? In order to break through the spirit world, space storms and magical power restrictions must be placed on the dangerous elements I have installed there. Plus, we have to add the danger of Simma. “At that level, it’s like swimming with your hands on the ground.”

According to Taeheo Seonin’s words, it was almost impossible to directly penetrate the spirit world.

However, Gui Seong-jin and Cheonma willingly accepted the test.

This is because the word impossible did not exist in their minds.

The same was true for Taeheo Seonin.

Before coming here, Gui Seong-jin asked Tae Heo Seon-in.

It’s a test. Do you really need to participate?

Then Taeheo Seonin laughed and answered.

This is a training and a process of reminding yourself of the promise you made to yourself… .

He said that he does not know when he will depart for the spirit world, but that he has been constantly challenging himself for that day.

Hehehe.

A sharp wind blew from the entrance of Saengsacheongwan.

It was a wind that bit my flesh, condensing my energy like a knife and cutting right through my bones.

The first person to enter the Saengsacheon Hall was Taeheo Seonin.

Cheonma entered the hall at half-clock intervals, and finally, Guiseongjin entered.

Gwi Seong-jin, who entered inside while being hit by the bitter wind, was unable to walk even a few steps and his pace became slower.

This is because the terrible spiritual pressure pressed down on him like Mount Tai.

It was comparable to the spiritual pressure of the black star that once dragged the king of the Shindo Kingdom on the Yeongseon Continent by using his magical power of transmission.

But Gui Seong-jin, who is here now, was not the same person back then.

At that time, I tried to summon the Asura statue and transform into the Geummo Shinwon, but now I was able to just endure it and walk away.

However, the spirit pressure could not be ignored.

Jump and jump.

I don’t know how it was designed, but the spiritual pressure continued to increase as we entered the Hall of Life and Death.

If this continued, I felt like I would have to summon Ashura again.

That wasn’t the only danger.

No, the real danger started now.

Whirririririn.

Flute!

The wind became a blade and sharply ravaged the air… .

Cheezy. Cheesy!

The brain energy seemed to be getting thicker, and the thunderstorm raged like a storm, creating a space rift.

There was no way for a living being to exist in such a harsh environment.

But it wasn’t really.

Beings that were unclear as to whether they were illusions or reality were traveling around on thunderbolts and showering Gui Seong-jin with vicious fire attacks.

Suddenly!

Kieeeeek!

Gwi Seong-jin, who swung the Myeongokdo and killed a monster, confirmed that they were not illusions.

The spirit of the dead monster was sucked into the sword.

From then on, Gwi Seong-jin devoted himself to hunting monsters.

However, as time passed, the spiritual pressure increased, and Guiseongjin’s movements slowed down… .

The deeper you go into the Hall of Life and Death, the faster and stronger monsters appear.

Tsutsutsutsu.

In the end, Guiseongjin had no choice but to summon the Asura statue and soften it.

Thanks to this, Gwi Seong-jin, whose physical activity level increased, was able to hunt monsters for a while longer.

Then, when a shadow monster appeared, Gwi Seong-jin’s hunting came to an end.

The shadow monster had no substance.

It survived even if it was cut down with a Myeong-ok sword, and it could not be burned with a Gwangmyeong Seonghwa.

Nevertheless, he viciously bit and scratched Guiseongjin with his sharp teeth and nails.

Rumbling.

Flash!

Since even trusting Jaryeong didn’t work, Gwi Seong-jin just ignored them.

It’s not that their fangs and nails aren’t sharp, but they couldn’t help themselves when they reached the point where they had reached the point of constructing soft body techniques.

As a result, the wounds on Gui Seong-jin’s body increased one by one.

Some were so deep that it made you frown.

Chijijijijik!

Flash!

It seemed as if the lightning energy in front was extremely condensed, and then golden light flashed and a huge thunderbolt flew out.

Gui Seong-jin, who used the Brain Core to change the direction of the Brain Qi, used the Seven Stars Dungeon method to move in the direction where the Brain Qi was weak.

Then, I encountered a fierce space crack and suffered for a long time… .

In the end, the spiritual pressure became so high that I couldn’t control my body, so I had to drag my feet to move.

As a result.

Guiseongjin also passed the Saengsacheon Pass safely.

As Gui Seong-jin came out of the Hall of Life and Death, Taeheo Seonin burst into laughter.

It was as if the two knew they would successfully complete the test.

“Let’s take a drink each.”

Congratulating him on passing the test, Taeheo Seonin presented his favorite ship owner.

As a result, a drinking match broke out… .

Even Guiseongjin and Cheonma had a hint of intoxication on their faces.

“At least the shells of both of them are as tough as leather. “That’s enough to pass.”

“I’m glad I passed. “Where do we go now?”

“I’m thinking of going to the light ship.”

“Lightboat?”

Cheonma’s eyes grew twice as big when she heard the word Deungsundae.

Even so, I thought that there was no better way to escape the lower world than the light ship.

“Do you know where the lightship is?”

“Of course.”

Gui Seong-jin, who was listening to the conversation between the two, asked Tae Heo Seon-in.

“But why a lightship? “Now that the passage to the spirit world has been blocked, I think the dimension there has been most severely distorted.”

“You are right. But a change in thinking is needed. “Think about why that place was chosen as the lighthouse.”

“ah! “That’s where the sky is closest.”

“yes. If you go through there, you will be able to reach the spirit world the fastest. It may be difficult, but… .”

“Do you have anything to prepare?”

“Why not? Once you enter the passage to the spirit world, you must move forward no matter what difficulties you face. So, prepare as many self-defense techniques, spiritual altars, and spiritual stones to protect your body. You will also need some medicine to treat your wounds… . “How much time should I give it?”

In response to Taeheo Seonin’s words, Cheonma suggested three years.

Like Guiseongjin, his Geongondae also had a mountain of treasures.

But what I needed now wasn’t treasure.

Self-defense techniques, elixirs, and even magic stones… .

It seemed like I would have to bring the entire Skyscraper branch to Yomado to get them.

That time was three years.

“I think that’s enough for me.”

When Gwi Seong-jin also said that it would take three years, Tae Heo Seon-in told them a place to meet in three years.

* * *

The first place Gwi Seong-jin visited after leaving Samsin Mountain and parting ways with Cheonma was the Ten Thousand Bo Palace in Yomado Island.

When Gui Seong-jin presented the spirit plaque, the branch manager was greatly surprised and looked at Gui Seong-jin several times.

This is because Gwi Seong-jin, who was known to be in the early Yeonheo period, appeared as a master in the middle Hwasin period.

“Great man! “How can I help you?”

“I want to exchange my treasures for self-defense techniques or spiritual weapons. “I just want it to be kept secret.”

“I see. “Unfortunately, our Tenbo Palace does not have any self-defense techniques that a Hwasingi mid-level monk can use.”

“What about Yeongdan?”

“That’s possible. “Isn’t it well-known throughout the world that our Ten Thousand Treasure Palace’s Yeongdan, Yeongchao, has magical powers?”

“Then give me that at least.”

When Gwi Seong-jin threw a dried crab, the branch manager opened the entrance without hesitation.

And after checking the contents in a new way, his hands were shaking as if he had a bad case.

The branch manager looked into Gui Seong-jin’s eyes and asked.

“Great man! “With this much treasure, it would be enough to purchase all the spiritual altars in our branch.”

“I will only purchase the spiritual orders needed by the Hwaseongi monks. “If it’s not enough, shouldn’t we just get it from another branch?”

“How long will you need it?”

“I think it will take two years and ten months. Will it be possible by then?”

“Don’t worry. Until then, we will prepare at all costs. Is there anything else you need?”

“There is none. Then I’ll see you then.”

When Gui Seong-jin disappeared, the manager of Yomado’s Manbogung branch declared an emergency within the upper level.

This is because they had to be busy starting today in order to prepare for the memorial service by the date designated by Gwi Seong-jin.

Gui Sheng-jin, who left the Wanbo Palace point, went to Thunder Mountain, which was said to be the most dangerous mountain in Yamado Island.

Then, they went deep into the ground, dug out the eastern part, and set up a protection camp around it.

Gwi Seong-jin, who had created an offensive line that flowed like quicksand with the remaining Honwon division, entered the eastern part with peace of mind.

The reason Gwi Seong-jin entered the depths of the earth was because there was something that had to be resolved before going to the spirit world.

Gui Seong-jin, sitting cross-legged, spoke to the being in his head for the first time in a long time.

“It’s been a while.”

“I see. My training speed wasn’t slow, but I didn’t grow as fast as you. “I wasn’t able to provide any help until now because I was worried that karma would manifest itself, but he grew up wonderfully.”

“Have all your memories returned?”

“Thanks to your reaching the level of the Avatar and your recent surge in spiritual power, I was able to remember many things.”

“Who is the traitor?”

“I don’t remember asking you for revenge yet.”

“Isn’t it still something you need to know? Even if I try to go my own way, he won’t stay still… .”

“It’s karma. His name is Dokcheon Majon. “I rule over Daehanseon Station (大韓仙域), which I ruled, and Macheonseon Station (魔天仙域), which is on the border.”

“Poisonous Mazon? It looks like he has a deep knowledge of poison. “Do you remember where you first met him?”

“that is… . Strangely, only that part is blocked in my memory. It’s as if it was painted over… . “It seems like someone has hidden it from heaven.”

“That’s bizarre. I don’t think it’s necessary… . “If I go to the spirit world, will he know?”

“It’s impossible. Didn’t I tell you I went back in time? His current level may be lower than yours. The present is too far in the past for the future man to reach out… . So you can rest assured.”

“But won’t you find out someday?”

“right. Still, your identity will not be discovered easily. In order not to leave any traces of myself on you, I have restrained myself as much as possible. “I only gave a little bit of advice, but I didn’t teach any techniques or teach any magical powers.”

“I had a guess.”

“Besides, this time I will also follow you to the spirit world. Then all attention will be focused on me. Of course, this is a situation that will happen after the gold election.”

“Are you saying that you won’t be interested when you are in the state of knowledge or spirit?”

“No matter how magical a good person in the heavenly world is, he or she cannot be deeply involved in the affairs of the spiritual world. However, because Geumseon is a being who has set foot in the heavenly world, he can understand cause and effect to some extent. Even so, you don’t have to worry.”

“I understand. “Isn’t there something that needs to be resolved before that?”

“You’re talking about separating the soul and body.”

“I think now is the right time. As you may have heard, I will ascend directly through the spirit world. “Once you try, you won’t even be able to afford to separate the spirits.”

“Know. And beware of Taeheo Seonin. “He is not a good person.”

“I know that.”

“haha! Even though he knew that, he maintained such an obedient attitude… . You are more insidious. I think I was worried for no reason. I’m worried so I’ll separate it right away. Do you have a reception stand to hide me and take me to the spirit world?”

“There is space protection, so please rest in it. “If you go to the spirit world, I will hand over the entire space treasure.”

Gui Seong-jin, who remembered Seon Cheon Ji-bo who obtained charity porridge, offered to give it to his future self.

“It would be safer if there was space protection. good night. “It could be dangerous if you move, so just meditate in the meantime.”

“I understand.”

While Gui Seong-jin was meditating with the space treasure held out, the residual spirit that was in his soul attempted to separate from Gui Seong-jin’s soul.

The size of the ghost was very small.

Even a hundred is nothing… .

However, due to their high level of cultivation, they succeeded in separating them in an instant.

Whissssss.

The remaining spirit that was separated from Guiseongjin’s spirit escaped from the spiritual realm and entered the spatial treasure.

Then Gwi Seong-jin closed the space jibo and put it in his geongondae.

Phew!

Gui Seong-jin, who had finished separating from his remaining soul, let out a low sigh.
