Nangseon’s Romantic Tale – Part 2, Episode 127
A month had passed.
During that time, Cheonbeom secluded himself within Gyewolseon, re-examining the Lawless Blood and the Blood Collapse Water he inherently possessed.
Blood Collapse Water was one of the treasures Cheonbeom had since the Lower World. He previously thought of it as merely a mystical artifact, but after ascending to the Upper World and broadening his knowledge, he realized it was a treasure linked to a certain law.
To define it, the Law of Blood.
He couldn’t explain it any other way.
As you know, Blood Collapse Water is a treasure from which the blood of a Roc [a mythical bird of immense size and power], a divine beast, ceaselessly springs.
It’s an item from which blood, like a river, flows out of a small vial.
Looking at this alone, one might think it contains the Law of Creation, but after much deliberation, he concluded that it was not, and named it the Law of Proliferation instead.
It was the constant proliferation of the Roc’s blood within the Blood Collapse Water. Over the past month, he gained a lot by clearly defining the answer to Blood Collapse Water.
Until now, it had been ambiguous as he didn’t have a proper use for it, so he was able to definitively conclude his thoughts on this occasion.
It was true that the Roc’s blood contained a lot of energy, but it wasn’t particularly useful.
“Tanhwa seems to be full now, not even trying to eat something like this.”
At best, it had been used to appease Gwiyeul, but now there was no need to do so, so there was no reason to take it out.
However, after arriving in the Immortal World and gaining insight into Law Blood, he had been constantly thinking about something.
What if Blood Collapse Water could self-proliferate Law Blood instead of the Roc’s blood?
“If that happens, I’ll make a fortune…”
No, it would be useful in many ways.
It was a thought possible because Cheonbeom had spent the past month dissecting the components and laws of Lawless Blood and Blood Collapse Water.
“Lawless Blood is Law Blood for Chaos Divinity. Thus, it brings to the surface the power of blood that Chaos Divinity possesses, different from that of humans.”
If this were to be consumed by the aquatic immortals of the Water Realm, also known as divine beasts, what kind of reaction would occur?
Cheonbeom fed Lawless Blood to several phantasmal beasts and immortal insects he had obtained from the Dark Market and was surprised.
It was because the energy of the phantasmal beasts and immortal insects had greatly increased.
It also caused them to become excited and rampage as if they were thrilled by the suddenly acquired power.
“Burp.”
And Tanhwa’s burp, after instantly devouring those guys, was a bonus.
He wondered if there would be any changes in Tanhwa, but not really, and when he asked about his condition.
“I don’t really know!”
He said he didn’t really know.
It didn’t seem to be getting too dangerous.
After that, he also took Lawless Blood himself, but there was no significant change.
It seemed to be because he had already formed a Divine Transformation with Heavenly Law Blood, so only a slight increase in immortal power occurred.
Of course.
“The sword energy has become sharper.”
As expected, it goes without saying that among the five sword techniques that make up Gyuncheon Bohwa, the forms and sword shapes of the Blood Shadow Sword Dance, which handles blood, have become sharper and more powerful.
Compared to the Blood Shadow Sword Dance performed by his main body, it was woefully inadequate, but since he lacked offensive means to handle with his Divine Transformation, he thought this was better than nothing.
There was also something strange. When he accidentally fed Lawless Blood to Gayeon, her face turned red, she twisted her body like a puppy needing to pee, and suddenly transformed into her main body and ran outside.
It seemed that if the aquatic immortals of the Water Realm consumed Lawless Blood, it would have the effect of awakening.
Later, when asked, she said that in addition to awakening, her divine power and cultivation had also increased.
‘If we mass-produce this Lawless Blood and bring it to the Water Realm, we can greatly increase cultivation in preparation for the Immortal Extermination War, which will be of great help.’
Cheonbeom also thought the same.
However, the method of making it was so bizarre that the method he came up with was the aforementioned method. Since Blood Collapse Water has the law of self-proliferation using the Roc’s blood as a raw material, replacing it with Lawless Blood would be of great help.
If it were an ordinary immortal, they would lose both Blood Collapse Water and Lawless Blood upon failure, but not Cheonbeom.
“I thought there might be a day like this, so I copied Blood Collapse Water when I was in the Lower World.”
In the first place, Blood Collapse Water did not belong to Cheonbeom, but to Sawolrang of the Lower World.
It belonged to the clan where Geummyeongjisu was located.
At that time, when he returned it to them, he copied it and returned it, and made a few more spares when he had time.
Therefore, he could conduct experiments as much as he wanted, and now, after a month.
Cheonbeom poured out fifteen Blood Collapse Waters and a jar of Lawless Blood, but still couldn’t complete it.
“Damn it.”
He felt like he was on fire, as he kept failing as if slipping on an icy road, even though it seemed like it would work.
‘As it stands, I’ll have to wait for Woomyung to bring the Lunar Law Blood from the Immortal Palace.’
It will definitely help in forming Fire Blood. Cheonbeom’s body is made up of Heavenly Law Blood, and this time he obtained Lawless Blood and mixed it in his body, so if he obtains Lunar Law Blood, he will not only get one step closer to Fire Blood, but also be able to combine these and manipulate the laws to help in practicing the Three Lives and Three Gods.
‘I shouldn’t have touched it haphazardly and split my original spirit in two….’
Now there’s no turning back, is there?
“Master.”
“What’s going on?”
“There is a guest who has come to see you. He says he is a disciple of Illusionary Net Immortal.”
Exactly one month had passed before he visited.
“Come to think of it, shouldn’t Vice Minister Woo be arriving soon?”
“That’s right. He is scheduled to arrive within the next day or two.”
Since he was visiting the Immortal Palace, which is the center of the Chaos Realm, many people would have accompanied him, unlike when he left.
Originally, he would have been disgusted, but in the current situation, it couldn’t be better.
“Shall we meet the disciple of Illusionary Net first?”
Cheonbeom was about to tell them to bring him here, but after a moment of contemplation, he got up from his seat.
Soon, he went out to the deck of Gyewolseon with Gayeon and saw several civil and military immortals and the disciple of Illusionary Net, who was called Cheongmyeong, together.
It was quite noisy, and when he looked, the Janjanggyeongjeongdo [a mock battle artifact], which Cheonbeom had also done before, was in front of them and Cheongmyeong.
It was a mock battle artifact that created clones by putting hair into a scroll and fighting.
“What are you all doing to my guest?”
He asked sternly, and the civil and military immortals were startled and stood at attention.
“Lord Manager, have you arrived?”
Cheonbeom looked at Baekgeonbun, who was nearby, and asked.
“Explain it.”
“Ah… that’s not it, he is also a disciple of Illusionary Net Immortal, who is close to Lord Manager, and I was just playing with him because he was waiting for a long time and might be bored.”
“Is that right?”
He asked, looking at Cheongmyeong.
“That’s true.”
Only then did Cheonbeom’s expression soften a little.
He wondered if they were bullying the child with Janjanggyeongjeongdo, but it didn’t seem to be the case.
As Cheonbeom’s expression softened, the civil and military immortals also relaxed and began to tell him various stories.
“As expected of the disciple of the friend of the Lord Manager, he is quite good for a small child. He is quite resilient even when facing our civil and military immortals with Janjanggyeongjeongdo.”
“Really?”
Janjanggyeongjeongdo allows you to understand your minor habits or bad habits because the clone fights on its own by simply inserting a strand of hair and injecting immortal power.
Cheongmyeong seemed quite interested in seeing the artifact of the Water Realm for the first time.
“Thanks to you, I am grateful for being able to thoroughly understand my shortcomings.”
Cheongmyeong spoke unlike a child and showed courtesy to the civil and military immortals.
He was at the Minor Immortal Realm, so he couldn’t win, but he seemed somehow excited because he had found points to improve thanks to them.
“Then shall we take a look for a moment?”
As he glanced at Janjanggyeongjeongdo, he could see Cheongmyeong’s clone steadily blocking the attacks of the civil and military immortal’s clone, who used the surname Gang.
It was a possible match because Janjanggyeongjeongdo is an artifact that only uses martial arts to determine the outcome, excluding divine powers.
The Gang clan immortal was originally a civil immortal, but he entered martial arts under Cheonbeom, so the match was roughly even.
“Full of loopholes. He has terribly no talent for martial arts.”
“…You’re too much, Lord Manager.”
“Lack of effort, lack of effort. If you lose, I will take a look at your martial arts training for a while.”
“Ew!”
“Ew?”
“Ah, no… It’s an honor….”
However, unlike his words, his expression was as if he would rather die than do it.
When Cheonbeom said he would look at his martial arts training, it meant he would spar with him, so most of the civil and military immortals had the same reaction as him.
The difference in skill was so great, and he had a clear view that it was faster to get hit a lot when it came to martial arts, so except for the vice minister and a few civil and military immortals, no one wanted to spar with Cheonbeom.
“Hahaha! Kid! Gangseon is the weakest in our civil and military unit! I’ll fight you next after him, so defeat him quickly!”
“Who’s the weakest, you bastard! Can’t you shut up?”
“Minor Immortal Cheongmyeong, get rid of that guy quickly!”
Was it because someone else’s misfortune is my happiness?
As the civil and military immortals’ mischievous jokes began, the corners of Cheongmyeong’s mouth slowly rose.
Whether it was thanks to the civil and military immortals’ support or because of their curse, the match ended with Cheongmyeong’s victory, and the immortal named Gangseon was promised a spar with Cheonbeom.
‘Even so, he defeated an Upper Immortal.’
He recognized the extraordinary nature of the child named Cheongmyeong, but he didn’t know that his martial arts would be this outstanding.
For a Minor Immortal to defeat an Upper Immortal.
It’s not something that usually happens.
“I defeated the weakest, so I’m next!”
He pushed aside the Gangseon guy, who seemed to have lost hope in life, and another immortal sat down, but Cheonbeom kicked him away.
Pick!
“Squawk!”
“Minor Immortal Cheongmyeong came to see me, not you guys. Play after the story is over.”
“You could have said it, why did you kick me!”
“Sometimes, one action is more deeply felt than a hundred words. Isn’t that right, Minor Immortal Cheongmyeong.”
“Ah, yes….”
Cheongmyeong didn’t seem to be adapting to this atmosphere at all.
But Cheonbeom and the civil and military immortals were not the type to care about such things.
“Elder, Elder, what happens if you do Janjanggyeongjeongdo with your Divine Transformation?”
“I don’t know either because I haven’t done it.”
“Try it once! Minor Immortal Cheongmyeong’s basics are very solid.”
“Really?”
Cheonbeom pulled out a strand of hair and put it into Janjanggyeongjeongdo.
Then, Cheonbeom’s clone appeared without anything special.
Janjanggyeongjeongdo is a clone that appears by manifesting a part of the main body.
The clone embodies the information contained in the body and perfectly reproduces the body’s physical structure, habits, and fighting style.
‘I haven’t properly practiced martial arts with the body of the Divine Transformation, so I wonder what will happen.’
He was curious.
Soon, he suggested to Cheongmyeong to try it once, and Cheongmyeong said it was a great honor and put his hair in.
Then, Cheongmyeong’s clone appeared in Janjanggyeongjeongdo and took a stance.
“Well, it’s no fun to just do it, so shall we make a bet?”
“A bet?”
“If you withstand my clone’s one-second attack, I will grant you one wish.”
“Then if I lose….”
“It will be enough to hear the answer about the Severing Life Divine Wood that I asked you for.”
“Okay.”
And a moment later.
The outcome of the bet was absurdly.
It led to Cheonbeom’s defeat.
