Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 491

Clearly, the sphere wasn’t communicating in any discernible way.

However, Seun could feel it instinctively.

That the sphere, that giant sphere embodying Seun’s dantian [energy center], was coveting Triton’s power.

“I was wondering how to handle this, but this is a relief.”

While the Authority of Greed manifests through the treasure vault transferred to Seun before his regression, the Authority of Gluttony is different.

It’s certainly treated as Seun’s Authority, but ultimately, the prey consumed by Gluttony is transported into Beelzebub’s stomach. [Beelzebub is often associated with gluttony in religious texts.]

Therefore, using the Authority of Gluttony in this mental world was meaningless.

At best, it would only tear apart the bodies of dead enemies.

So, even though it was just a remnant of power, he was wondering if he should wastefully discard it into the void, but this changes things.

“Wh, what are you trying to do! No! Pan! Pan! Don’t just lie there, get up! Get up!”

“I, I can’t move because of this…….”

“Don’t lie! You can’t move because of such a weak stream? You coward! Is a god bowing down to a mere human!”

“Why don’t you just shut up.”

“Cough!”

Seun intensified the ice vortex.

Then, he shook his sword once and approached Triton, who was trapped in the sphere.

As he sheathed his sword, the power of the vortex gradually weakened, and Triton tried to seize the opportunity to counterattack, but…….

“Ugh!”

Before he could even move, Seun’s grip closed around Triton’s neck.

Was this really a human’s grip? There was a clear difference in size, but the moment Seun’s grip seized his neck, he couldn’t move at all.

With that tremendous shock, Triton involuntarily dropped the trident he had been holding onto for his last counterattack.

“If you lose once, you should quietly bow your head. Then you might save your life, like Pan over there.”

“Ku, cough. I, I am a god. This body cannot be…….”

– The Saintly Imprint is reacting to the Blood Wolf Legend’s tale.

– The first ability of the Saintly Imprint, ‘Fear,’ awakens.

“Kugh…….”

The Authority of Fear settled upon Triton.

The power of fear shines brighter when there is a medium of fear. Already weakened by Seun’s attack and with his neck being strangled, the power of fear that permeated Triton was immense.

‘If he had any divine power left, it would have been impossible, but.’

Capturing a mere potential with fear, when he was neither god nor anything else, was very simple.

Woo-oong!

“You must have been really eager to eat him.”

“Ku, cough. No, cough. Stop…….”

Ripples emanated from the sphere that was in contact with Triton.

Like sinking into a swamp, Triton’s massive body slowly began to be sucked into the dantian.

“Li, life…… Please…… Heuh…….”

“Yeah, you were going to beg for your life anyway.”

Even if they are gods, they are all the same.

Even if they act as if they are immortal and not afraid of death, in the end, when faced with real death, they are no different from humans.

Moreover, this guy was no longer a god. He had lost his divine power and was just struggling, unable to let go of his past self.

“I am…… Cough, the sea’s…… the sea’s.”

Swish.

In the end, he was completely absorbed into the dantian without finishing his sentence.

Seun, feeling the sphere resonating as if it was still insufficient, turned his gaze to Pan, who was trembling while tightly gripping the stream of water that was confining him.

“Hic!”

His pathetic state made Seun shake his head.

‘Is it over now?’

The moment he thought that, a change began to occur in the sphere.

Woo-woo-oong!

The sphere vibrated greatly, as if it would shatter at any moment.

At the same time, the real dantian inside Seun’s stomach also vibrated, releasing internal energy.

“Cough!”

Black, dead blood flowed from Seun’s mouth.

Without even having time to think about the cause, Seun stretched out both hands and placed them on the surface of the trembling giant sphere.

‘Is Triton’s power causing a rampage after entering?’

What should he do? Should he ignore the sphere in front of him and sit down to circulate his energy? Or should he somehow suppress and calm the sphere in front of him?

Unfortunately or fortunately, due to the urgency of the situation, Seun had no choice but to execute all the methods that came to mind instead of contemplating which was the best.

‘Three Origins Art.’

The Three Origins Art, which views all things in the universe according to the three origins of the universe.

Using the Three Origins Art, which is said to have the best stability among all mental cultivation methods, he calmed the dantian.

He divided the internal energy that was trying to run wild inside Seun’s body into three strands to restore order.

‘Connected.’

The internal energy flowing through the Three Origins Art also reacted with the sphere connected to Seun’s hands.

The vibration gradually decreased, but Seun instinctively realized that this moment was an opportunity.

‘The current dantian is too unstable.’

The dantian created using the Three Origins Art, the Supreme Demonic Art, the Violet Cloud Divine Art, and the Ice Jade Divine Art.

Somehow, it was maintaining harmony and order within, but these were only temporary measures.

Unless he achieved enlightenment, the dantian would break if he gathered more internal energy in this state.

So, he had to create a more complete form.

‘After all, the essence is internal energy.’

The stable internal energy of the Three Origins Art.

The violent internal energy of the Supreme Demonic Art.

The hot yang [positive, active] energy of the Violet Cloud Divine Art.

The cold yin [negative, passive] energy of the Ice Jade Divine Art.

Although they have different characteristics in four strands, their essence is ultimately one.

Seun’s role is to harmonize these four internal energies with each other. At the same time, he must ensure that they do not lose their original characteristics.

‘Although I haven’t properly learned or know much about martial arts…….’

The Great Library of El Abr.

There were hundreds, thousands of martial arts books there, but it was nearly impossible to fully comprehend martial arts with just martial arts books.

Most martial arts are directly bestowed by a master, and one must feel their essence right next to them.

Therefore, no matter how many martial arts one learns, it is difficult to comprehend everything with just martial arts books.

However…….

‘The theory is perfect.’

Seun had read so many martial arts books that he went beyond the level of ‘many.’

And through the Authority of Greed, he even learned advanced martial arts such as the Violet Cloud Sword Manual, the Northern Sea Sword Manual, and the Supreme Demonic Dark Sword, and reached this point with his own enlightenment.

Even if there is no master, his understanding of martial arts concepts is more thorough than anyone else.

‘The way to control all these energies. The way to establish order and achieve harmony for all these energies.’

Knowledge of hundreds, thousands of martial arts books flashed through Seun’s mind.

And then, at some point.

Seun, who had been closing his eyes, opened them wide and twisted the flowing internal energy from side to side, crossing his hands on the sphere.

“Taiji (太極) [The Supreme Ultimate, often represented by the Yin and Yang symbol].”

Shwaaa!

Yin and Yang. Like a giant sphere divided into two hemispheres like the sun, the sphere was twisted following Seun’s touch.

Yin and yang energies flowed as if they would mix with each other, but they never mixed.

However, it was different from the initial appearance.

If the two hemispheres initially asserted their energy as if they were confronting each other, now they acknowledged each other’s energy as if they were shaking hands.

As Seun muttered, they formed the Taiji pattern, establishing order and achieving harmony.

‘Establish the foundation with the will of the Three Origins, and raise the framework with the meaning of the Supreme Demonic.’

The energy of the Three Origins, which had been supporting the different yin and yang energies, escapes from the sphere and takes on a new form.

The Qian trigram (乾卦) [Heaven, Creative] representing heaven and the Kun trigram (坤卦) [Earth, Receptive] representing earth. The Kan trigram (坎卦) [Water, Pit] representing water and the Li trigram (離卦) [Fire, Clinging] representing fire.

The Three Origins and the Supreme Demonic form the framework of Qian, Kun, Kan, and Li, enveloping the Taiji.

– The Three Origins Art (三才功), the Supreme Demonic Art (破極心功), the Violet Cloud Divine Art (紫霞神功), and the Ice Jade Divine Art (氷白神功) achieve harmony.

– Comprehending the new mysteries of the four mental cultivation methods increases the efficiency of martial arts.

– Created the combined art (合功), the Taiji Divine Art (太極神功).

“Hoo…….”

To create a new combined art by mixing four mental cultivation methods.

This was different from creating a combined art by mixing footwork or swordsmanship before.

If footwork or swordsmanship fails, you don’t have to use it, and even if you make a mistake, it only ends with injuring your joints or muscles.

However, if you create a mental cultivation method incorrectly, there is a risk of breaking your dantian and losing your life.

Seun overcame that risk and created a completely new divine art that can control not only the yin and yang energies but also the energies of the four trigrams.

‘I’m a little tired.’

The sphere in front of him has transformed into the Taiji pattern, and power is overflowing from Seun’s dantian.

However, unlike that, the psychological fatigue alone did not disappear.

“You’ve worked hard. You must be tired, so take a rest.”

“Thank you.”

The Great Sage created another water droplet for Seun.

Since he wanted to take a break even for a moment, Seun did not refuse and took his place inside.

The soft water droplet supported his back, making him feel a little better.

Swish-shaaa-

Even in the meantime, the sphere that had transformed into the Taiji form did not stop its activity.

It sucked in the hot air above and the cold ice seawater below.

The black, rotten impurities of the Black Sea were purified by the Qian, Kun, Kan, and Li around the Taiji.

“This is more than just overcoming a wall. Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

“Such gains even before reaching the circle. Perhaps you will surpass me before leaving the mental world.”

Seun raised his head and looked at the sphere with the Taiji pattern.

What he could see right now was already amazing, but he could clearly feel the power rising through the dantian in his stomach.

Like the Great Sage said, he had no idea how much the internal energy of his dantian would rise when he left the mental world.

Even if he didn’t know well, he was sure that it wasn’t the amount of one or two cycles of sixty years like before.

“Pan, guide me.”

“Wh, where to…….”

“The lowest level. To where the circle is.”

“Yo, you mean the temple?”

Perhaps because he saw Triton disappear? Pan spoke to Seun with a more docile attitude than before.

A temple, huh.

As Seun and the Great Sage felt, the circle must have the appearance of a temple even in the mental world.

“Yes, guide me.”

“I understand! Th, there, by any chance…….”

“What?”

“Wh, when we arrive at the temple, you wouldn’t absorb me into the temple like Triton, would you……?”

“Hmm…….”

Seun hesitated for a moment.

If the temple is in a similar state to this dantian, wouldn’t he be able to break through the wall of the 8th Circle by absorbing Pan’s power?

If that were the case, he would probably shove him into the temple without hesitation…….

“Let’s start first.”

“Th, that can’t be! You said you would spare my life……!”

“Or, do you want to die here right now? Let’s see the situation below for now.”

“Kheuheueuk…….”

“Aren’t you leaving?”

“Meeeeee!”

Pan, with the water droplet attached, began to swim through the Black Sea with tears in his eyes.

Hoping that the temple would not covet his power, he smeared the unique fishy smell of the Black Sea on his body as much as possible.
