Return of the Freshman - Return of the Freshman-Episode 272

Episode 272: Deungsundae (登仙臺)

The reason why Guiseongjin finished separating the soul in a hurry was because of Seryeongdan (洗靈丹), which was exchanged for Bonghwangseonjicho in Guimuhae.

If you take Seryeongdan before separating your soul, its effects will not be fully concentrated on your soul… .

In order to safely reach the spirit world, he had to rapidly improve his skills in a short period of time, so this was an inevitable choice.

Gui Seong-jin took out the gold chest from Geongondae, opened the lid, and looked at the blue peach inside.

It looked like an ordinary peach, but it was Seryeongdan (洗靈丹), a treasure of heaven and earth.

Gyeongcheon Jibo.

This was a treasure that would reverberate through the heavens even in the spirit world.

There was no need to hesitate.

gulp.

Gwi Seong-jin opened his mouth wide and swallowed the seryeongdan in one mouthful, then sat cross-legged and recited the Cheonbugyeong in his mind.

At first there were no signs.

But as time passed, a dark sunset came down from the sky and covered Yeongdae… .

Golden light began to flow out from Wonyoung’s body, who was sitting on the jade.

Time passed by in vain.

one year.

This bitch.

Meanwhile, Gwi Seong-jin’s Wonyoung had turned as transparent as ice.

It was almost see-through.

Binggiokgol (氷肌玉骨).

Wonyoung, who had remained pure for two years, once again began to shine and slowly returned to her original form.

But it was strange.

The majesty of the Heavenly God flowed from Yuanying.

Shinwi (神威).

Wonyoung has undergone a complete transformation into a being that evil and unclean beings cannot dare to touch.

As Wonyoung grew older, changes occurred in Gwi Seongjin’s body.

The level of cultivation rose to the peak in the middle of the Hwasin period, and the Diamond Tiger Heart Gyeol, which was in the late stage of the Eight Stages, was immediately raised to the golden level.

Gui Sheng-jin, whose skills had greatly improved, escaped from the ground and flew straight to the Ten Thousand Bow Palace.

Then, after receiving the prepared spiritual altar, he flew into the sky.

The place where Gui Seong-jin decided to meet Tae Heo was only 100,000 miles away.

Gui Seong-jin, who told Geun Du-un to go there, sat comfortably on a cloud and looked out across the lower world.

A loving land.

If I left this place, I would never return.

However, it wasn’t disappointing.

Because a bigger and greater earth was waiting for him.

As they got closer to the meeting place, Gui Sheng-jin lowered his cultivation level to the same level as before parting ways.

By hiding the divine power that naturally flows from the body, Gyeongjido was lowered to the level it was before eating Seryeongdan.

“Are you here?”

When he arrived at the appointed place, Taeheo Seonin and Cheonma were waiting for him.

“I don’t know if I’m late.”

“It’s not too late. We were just a little fast. “Now then, let’s set off on the lighthouse.”

“Where is the lighthouse?”

Cheonma, who was flying after Taeheo Seonin, asked cautiously.

“It’s not far from here. But it’s not even close… .”

When Cheonma tilted her head at Taeheo Seonin’s words, Gwi Seongjin smiled and explained.

“It seems that Deungsundae is also hidden like Samsin Mountain. “Isn’t that right?”

“That’s right.”

“Then there must be monsters guarding there too?”

Hearing Gui Seong-jin’s words, Tae Heo Seon-in shook his head from side to side.

It meant that what he said was wrong.

“It’s not a monster, but the ancestors of monsters guarding it. “All of them are above royalties.”

It was an unexpected answer.

A being that transcends royalties?

It was impossible for there to be such a being other than Taeheo Seonin.

“How can such things exist in the underworld? “Is there something extreme?”

“Geukyo is one of them. It’s better for you to see it yourself than for me to explain it to you. But don’t worry too much. I will protect you… .”

Taeheo Seonin, who flew with a confident expression, entered the clouds and arrived at an unknown lake.

Unjung Lake.

Gui Seong-jin’s eyes frowned when he saw the lake.

Because it was an illusion.

with a plop!

When Taeheo saw the lake, he jumped into it without any hesitation.

Gwi Seong-jin, who had no choice but to follow him, could not help but be surprised by the depth of the lake.

It was so deep it was like an abyss.

The problem is the pressure that oppresses the body.

The spiritual pressure pressing down on my body was so great that I felt like my body would have exploded in the middle of it if I hadn’t learned the delusion technique.

At the end of the abyss was a small door.

Wow!

The three people who opened the door and came out were enveloped in a bright light and were transported somewhere.

Wow!

When the light cleared, Guiseongjin could see that the place he had arrived was another space like Heoryeongdongcheon.

Right then.

“Are you here again?”

A sharp sound came from somewhere.

Was it ten years old?

A cute little boy was frowning and glaring at Taeheo Seonin.

“Shinryongja! “It’s been a while.”

“What do you mean it’s been a long time? Didn’t he come here 3,000 years ago? I heard that he went into Yeongtongmun Gate saying he was confident at that time, but eventually ran away as if he was being chased… . Who has he brought to be killed this time?”

“Don’t worry. “Because I’m really confident this time.”

“joy! “I said that back then too.”

“So what are you going to do? “Are you saying you won’t even give up your seat?”

Taeheo Seon-in also raised his voice as if he could no longer bear it.

At the same time, I glanced at the middle-aged man in black and blue robes sitting next to Shinryongja, and their expressions were not very good either.

Perhaps Shinryongja believed them and was provoking them.

“You are full of courage for being a half-good man. If you thought I would give up my seat this time, you were truly mistaken. “This coming day, we will take on the challenge.”

“Shinryongja! I thought you were smart, but you’re digging your own grave. “Stop talking nonsense and come down from prison.”

“what! Are you saying let’s give it a try?”

“bouncer!”

Taeheo Seonin and Shinryongja, who became very emotional, flew into the sky and began to fight fiercely.

When Shenryongja transformed into a human, he was small and cute like a child.

However, as it flew into the sky, it transformed into a vicious nine-headed God Dragon and unleashed an attack on Taeheo Seonin that would make heaven and earth shake.

Shinryongja was one of the few strong men in the lower world who was in the late stage of the Incarnation period and could fight alone.

Still, he could not defeat Taeheo Seonin.

Let alone winning, they were driven to a miserable end and one head in the center was cut off.

Wow!

Shinryongja screamed and gestured to the two masters below Yeongtongmun Gate to help him.

Then, the heukpoin made a disapproving expression and approached the Cheonma, who was standing quietly.

This is because in order to help Shinryongja, the Heavenly Demon had to be defeated first.

Heukpoin, standing in front of the Heavenly Demon, asked.

“I do not kill nameless people. “Do you have a reputation worthy of death from me?”

“Shouldn’t you tell me who you are first?”

“After hearing it, I think that’s right. “I am a monster called the Black Angel, and I have been burned at the stake four times.”

The Heavenly Demon’s eyes lit up at the Black Angel’s words.

“Are you saying that even though you are a beast, you have been burned at the stake? “Is it your turn too?”

“I overcame many hardships and through trial and error, I created Wonyoung in the middle of the day. And he went through the fire, but despite this, he was not successful in going to the spirit world. “Now this is the only hope left.”

“I can understand your feelings. I am Cheonmai. “It is the highest of skyscrapers on the Yeongseon Continent, so its reputation will not be lacking.”

“Skyscraper? If I stop, I deserve to die. Come on! “I will yield to you first.”

“ha ha ha! The day will come when we will have to fight against Geukyo… . I think it was a good idea to come here. I’ll show you what my fist tastes like. “You will regret for the rest of your life that you gave up going first.”

Kuaaang!

Before he could finish speaking, the Heavenly Demon’s fist flew towards the Black Angel.

A formidable spirit pressure followed suit, and its momentum was like a meteor shower.

Pow!

The Heavenly Demon’s fist hit the Black Angel’s chin beautifully.

But the game was not decided by that one shot.

stagger.

The black angel, who had taken a few steps back, grinned and cracked the joints of his fingers.

Wow. Crack.

Then he moved his chin and took a few steps forward.

“Your fist is quite spicy. But that’s not enough to make me regret it. “I’ll show you what a real fist is.”

Flash!

The moment the words ended, the Black Angel’s body stretched like a clothesline and was crushed by the Heavenly Demon.

Then he raised his huge fist and struck the Heavenly Demon’s chin.

It wasn’t like he was being attacked by heaven.

He pulled his head to avoid being hit by the chin, and struck the Black Angel’s temple with all his might with his elbow.

The wind blew, a gust arose, and thick blood sprayed out into the air.

It was unknown whose blood it was.

As even the Black Angel joined in the fight, the peerless person who was watching lightly walked towards Gwi Seong-jin.

But for some reason, he had a smile on his face.

The woman pretended to know Gui Seong-jin.

“It’s been a while. “I never thought you would rise to the level so quickly.”

“Do you know me?”

“of course. “You too will remember me when you see me.”

As Taeheo Seonin said, everyone here was a being who transcended royalties.

We should not have let our guard down just by looking at what appeared.

However, when Gui Seong-jin saw the woman’s transformation, he relaxed without even realizing it.

The woman turned into a curly old woman holding a large cane made of strange wood.

The old woman I saw in Gwihoryeong.

He was a benefactor who helped Gwi Seong-jin obtain the spirit plant needed to create Heoryeongdan.

“I never thought you would be here, madam. long time no see.”

“Me too. But what happened? “Why are you with Taeheo Seonin?”

“It will be as you would guess.”

[Do you know why that old monster is dragging you away?]

The old lady sent a message to Gui Seong-jin in a new style.

To this, Gwi Seong-jin also responded in a new way.

[I know.]

[Really?]

[That’s right. Isn’t it a meal replacement?]

[oh my god! Does this mean that you move along even though you know that? It’s dangerous.]

[I know it’s dangerous. But if you don’t do it now, you may not have the chance to go to the spirit world. So, I’m willing to bear it.]

[…] … .]

The old lady, who was looking at Guiseongjin in silence, sighed inwardly.

Then, a funeral ceremony was held in the new style.

[I really envy your courage, even risking death. I have one favor to ask, would you please listen?]

[Please tell me.]

[I have practiced for thousands of years and my supernatural powers have reached the heavens, but I don’t think I will be able to ascend to the spirit world. But my dream is to become a monk, so I can’t give up like this. If you have one of my incarnations and succeed in attaining enlightenment, I will release it to the spirit world.]

Gui Seong-jin hesitated a little at the old lady’s request.

This is because I knew that although I was going through it with force, if I had a lot of living souls, the danger would increase when ascending to the spirit world.

When Gui Seong-jin hesitated, the old lady smiled again.

[I’m not asking for anything in return. This is a talisman from ancient times called Daeming Bride (代命神符), and it can save your life once. The talisman dies on your behalf. Can you agree to this?]

[With a talisman like that, I don’t think there’s any way not to grant your request. But how do you use it?]

Gwi Seong-jin, who took the amulet handed to her by the old woman, asked her with a trembling heart.

A talisman that replaces one’s life… .

I literally felt like I had gained a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses.

[It’s not difficult to use. Attach it to your chest before entering Yeongtongmun Gate. Then it will automatically activate and save you in times of danger. Keep in mind. The effect only works once. And this is the bag containing my incarnation.]

When I opened the bag the old lady gave me, there was a cute little fox cub inside.

Gwi Seong-jin put the bag containing the fox into the reception desk and bowed to the old lady.

[Thank you for giving me such a precious treasure. As you requested, I will release the incarnation into the spirit world.]

[It’s reliable. I will trust you and leave this place. I repeat, be careful with the author, Tae Heo Seon-in.]

[Don’t worry about that.]

When Gui Seong-jin bowed and raised his head, the old lady had already disappeared.
