Chapter 582: Sunlight Hunting (2)
Where does the limit lie when a single family continuously passes down and improves a specific talent?
Ham Jin is able to find the answer though In Yeon's family.
Chijijijik!
The 102nd head of the In Clan.
In Wang's grasp ignites a bow and arrow in a pale blue glow.
Kugung!
At the same time, the ground beneath In Wang's feet sinks drastically.
In Wang opens his eyes wide and releases the bowstring.Peoong!
With the sound of an exploding shell, the arrow soars into the sky.
Peobeobeobeong!
The arrow pierces through the sky, tearing the clouds into a perfect circle, then continues to advance, surpassing the atmosphere and stratosphere for a long while.
But that is the end.
In Wang sighs and, following the ancestral rites passed down in the family, bows towards a specific spot in the training ground.
One side of the training ground.
There stands the guardian stone that has been passed down through the In Clan for thousands of years.
Seated in a lotus position atop that guardian stone is Ham Jin, though those of lower cultivation cannot perceive him.
'Astounding...'
Ham Jin clicks his tongue, marveling at the might of the In Clan.
'Just now, it was only for a moment, but pure spiritual force wrapped around his body.'
Through Oh Hye-seo's Tainted Soul Filling the Heavens, the talent for archery has been continuously passed down.
Unlike Seo Hweol's, Oh Hye-seo's Tainted Soul Filling the Heavens focuses not on replication and erosion but on inheritance, and thus, the version passed down within the In Clan has long since departed from her hands.
Seo Hweol's Tainted Soul Filling the Heavens directly manipulates others, whereas Oh Hye-seo's, depending on the time inherited and spent with the inheritor, changes according to the inheritor. It is structured in a way that in the end, it would somewhat escape Oh Hye-seo's influence.
Observing this inherited talent of the In Clan, Ham Jin cannot help but be awestruck.
'It was only for a moment, but In Wang was like a Qi Building cultivator.'
Pure spiritual force.
A power mortals call Gang Qi cloaked his entire body as he concentrated it onto the arrow and released it into the sky.
As the endlessly inherited archery of the In Clan continued to develop, it gradually became martial arts.
As time passed, it evolved into an unparalleled martial art.
And when that unparalleled martial art reached its ultimate peak, at some point, it surpassed its own limitations and entered a completely new realm.
Demon beast methods.
It has reached the same realm as demon beast methods that forcefully absorb the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy to reconstruct the body and transcend the limits of living beings.
At first, it was merely an Earth Tribe method at the level of Qi Refining.
But the archery of the In Clan continued to be passed down without end.
And as it was inherited over and over,
At some point, the archery of the In Clan reached a level equivalent to Qi Building.
'...Astonishing.'
Yet what truly astonishes Ham Jin lies elsewhere.
The man who just shot that arrow, the clan head of the In Clan, In Wang, is only twenty years old.
The previous 101st head, in his reckless pursuit of rapid advancement, failed to contain an explosion within his meridians and had his head blown apart.
It happened so quickly that even Ham Jin couldn't intervene in time. With no alternative, the position of head was given to the most talented member of the clan—In Wang.
In Wang, inheriting this demonic beast method passed down in the In Clan, mastered it without difficulty, reaching a level somewhere between the peak of Qi Refining and Qi Building.
That was just about a year ago.
'A terrifying talent.'
Of course, Ham Jin can only say such things because he has never seen Kim Young-hoon. Regardless, the talent of the In Clan continues to be endlessly inherited, growing ever stronger.
'If this continues to be passed down without end, then surely...'
Ham Jin clenches his lips.
At present, his teacher is ensnared by light.
And that light is deeply intertwined with fate.
Thus, in the end, Ham Jin must stand against the fate that is Seo Eun-hyun.
'I, who is not even a True Immortal, cannot stand against fate.'
True Immortals are beings who manipulate fate.
At best, he is only a Sacred Vessel, and such divine powers are beyond him.
Therefore, he needs something that can oppose fate.
'If it's In Yeon's history...then it can stand against Teacher...!'
With that thought, Ham Jin continues to observe In Yeon's family.
Kugugugugugu!
Ham Jin looks up at the sky.
On every planet in the Crystal Glass Realm, the sun rises during the day.
Surrounding that sun, stars that shine brightly can be seen.
This is the case even during the day.
The stars visible around the sun are fixed stars that exist in different locations across the Crystal Glass Realm.
And from the planet where the In Clan resides, Ham Jin looks up at one massive sun and the [seven] fixed stars floating around it.
The eight millionth year.
"...It has already reached this point, huh."
At some point, the eighth sun has risen.
Ham Jin narrows his eyes.
It is hot.
Yeo Hwi has been traveling periodically between planets, scattering enough water energy and yin energy to bring about an ice age, yet it is not enough.
Yu Hwi has mobilized countless disciples at the Integration stage, deploying dharma treasures and formations crafted from countless minerals and gemstones to absorb the heat, but it is futile.
The heat and light radiating from the eight suns have far surpassed what they can control.
Even Ham Jin, borrowing Oh Hye-seo's power, has tried everything, but the task is not easy.
Rather, with each additional sun, they resonate with one another, strengthening their attraction force and intensifying the heat, leaving Ham Jin's expression growing graver.
'...Can this really succeed?'
Ham Jin gazes at the In Clan, where an Integration stage Grand Cultivator has emerged at some point.
As a Sacred Vessel Sacred Master, Ham Jin has bestowed every possible blessing and fortune upon them.
Over an absurdly long span of time, Ham Jin has even reached the Sacred Vessel stage through Heaven and Earth Dual Cultivation. He has exhausted all the authority he can wield in the Plane of Qi and the Plane of Fate to bless their talents, their bloodlines, and their futures.
Yet, in a million years,
The In Clan has only now produced an Integration stage.
Kugugugugugu!
The In Clan's Integration stage Grand Cultivator.
In Jeon grips his bow with a solemn expression, then fires towards the sky, towards the sunlight.
Kugugugugugu!
His Integrated Dao Domain seems to condense entirely into the arrow.
In an instant, the domain itself is carried upon the arrow as it soars forward.
Flash!
The arrow, carrying the Integrated Dao Domain, pierces through the stratosphere and bores straight through the moon orbiting their planet.
Of course, the moon does not shatter.
The arrow only creates a hole precisely the size of its width.
It pierces through a minuscule, narrow hole, and beyond the moon, the arrow continues traveling for a long while before finally coming to a stop.
Yet, In Jeon wears a slightly regretful expression.
"...Reaching another planet is still too difficult, I see."
It has already been a million years.
The talent and method inherited by the In Clan have grown stronger.
Under the category of [Bow and Arrow], no one in the Crystal Glass Realm can surpass them.
But Ham Jin is growing impatient.
'At this rate, I'll be too late.'
They are now at the Integration stage, but it is already far behind.
'At this speed, they will never be able to pierce through Teacher's Filling the Heavens Governing View and pierce through the sunlight... To pierce through Teacher's Filling the Heavens Governing View, they must grow even faster, rise even higher. If it continues like this...and nine suns end up rising...'
Ham Jin tightly shuts his eyes.
The formulas of the Radiance Ten Heavens grow more resonant and powerful as they near completion.
If Seo Eun-hyun completes the ten suns, that day will be nothing short of a catastrophe.
Seo Eun-hyun's consciousness will be completely consumed by that vortex of light.
That is the one thing he cannot allow.
'Before Teacher raises ten suns...the sun must go down!'
Bududuk...
Ham Jin grinds his teeth in frustration.
Just then,
The will of Oh Hye-seo whispers from his shadow.
—You seem impatient.
"...I am."
—It seems...you'll need my help?
"Your help?"
—The power of the Devilish. Let us imbue In Yeon's bloodline...with the authority of Corpse Mountain Blood Sea. If we do so, we will surely succeed even faster.
"...That..."
Ham Jin hesitates for a long moment.
But then, he squeezes his eyes shut.
"...I refuse."
—...What?
"Even if I must turn back, walking the orthodox path is the correct choice. If I appeared impatient, I apologize. But this is the lesson I carved into my body while being hung upside down and beaten by Teacher, and it is also Teacher's will. Just to save Teacher...I cannot betray that will."
—Kukuk...Do you think I haven't read your history? You, a lust devil who gathered men and women fifty years younger than yourself, indulging in pleasure without distinction of gender or status in all kinds of positions—yet here you are, pretending to have honor. The orthodox path? You are the finest seed of Devilish (魔) there is. Stop resisting and accept it. Isn't the most important thing right now saving your teacher?
"..."
At the truth exposed by Oh Hye-seo, Ham Jin's face flushes bright red.
"...I am...undoubtedly disgraceful."
—Of course you are. You even dragged in demon beasts to indulge yourself. Do you think Yeo Hwi chases you around for no reason?
"...But..."
Even though Oh Hye-seo lays his shame bare, the light in Ham Jin's eyes does not die.
"My teacher...Teacher's honor...is something I can never violate. To stand beneath him and accept the ruthless Devilish Path would be...a definite stain upon Teacher's honor. I am a disgraceful man. But precisely because of that, I understand how precious honor is."
Paaat!
He swings his hand towards the shadow where Oh Hye-seo's will resides.
The shadow trembles, and Oh Hye-seo clicks her tongue in displeasure.
"Let me make this clear. I will walk the orthodox path."
—...Do as you please. Let's see...how long you can keep that attitude...
With those words, Oh Hye-seo's will fades away.
Yet, Ham Jin bites his lip.
'How long...can I endure without borrowing Oh Hye-seo's power?'
Though he had spoken with conviction, he cannot deny the impatience rising in his chest.
Ham Jin has never revealed himself directly, but he has provided immense support to the In Clan all this time.
Bestowing blessings upon them was only the beginning. Whenever their cultivation stagnated, he granted them fortuitous opportunities, and he appeared in their dreams to impart teachings.
Though he never formally established a master-disciple bond, the In Clan is, in itself, his disciple.
But they are too slow.
To remain aligned with Seo Eun-hyun's will, Ham Jin has always taught them adhering to the orthodox path.
Because of that, the In Clan, when reaching the Four-Axis stage, has only pursued either the Orthodox Five Elements Axes or the Five Blessings Axes, causing their progress to always be a little slow.
'How long...can I keep them walking this orthodox path?'
Feeling his impatience grow, he continues to support the In Clan.
Five hundred thousand years have passed.
The eight million, five hundred thousandth year.
At last, Ham Jin reveals himself before the In Clan.
In the Crystal Glass Realm, the three Immortal Treasures have essentially taken on the role of Sacred Masters.
Because of this, Ham Jin, Yeo Hwi, and Yu Hwi are worshipped as gods in the Crystal Glass Realm, and as soon as Ham Jin appears, the entire In Clan rushes out to bow before him with utmost reverence.
Yet, there is no joy on Ham Jin's face.
"O Unruly One, Ham Jin, of the Three Divine Spirits, this In Wi-jeon, the clan head of the In Clan, greets—"
"Enough with the empty formalities. I have something to tell you."
Ham Jin speaks in an impatient tone.
"First, Clan Lord. You are the most talented and naturally gifted of your generation, correct?"
"Yes, that is certainly—"
"Then why are you still at the Grand Perfection Integration stage!?"
Ham Jin finally explodes.
"Just why!? The talent and method of your clan has been continuously passed for one million, five hundred thousand years, yet why are you still a mere Integration stage!? Your family! I have supported your clan from behind for one million five hundred thousand years! And yet, why are you progressing in such a shallow way!?"
"Th-That is..."
"Enough. I do not need to hear anything else. I have been too lenient until now."
He grits his teeth hard.
"The founder of your In Clan, In Yeon, was a special connection of mine. Because of that, I placed my trust on that child and watched over your clan. But...this will no longer do. The reason you failed to grow properly must be because you lack the motivation..."
His eyes, bloodshot with frustration, burn red.
Even now, Ham Jin does not intend to abandon the orthodox path.
He will not be swayed by Oh Hye-seo's wicked whispers!
Yet, this very resolve only intensifies his impatience, and at last, his frustration erupts.
"Your path is undoubtedly the correct one. You have followed the course I arranged for you, walking a correct and upright road. But...you are too slow. You are as slow as slugs! At this rate, I will never be able to save my teacher. Therefore, I will set a goal for you."
Ham Jin grinds his teeth and shouts,
"I...will personally lead you!"
His eyes hold a strange madness.
The madness of 'saving Teacher' is also the pain that Ham Jin has accumulated over millions of years.
Yeo Hwi vents her frustration and irritation by abducting people and violating them just short of the point of death.
Yu Hwi takes in Integration stage disciples, refining ghosts, spirits, and energy to create new jewels and dharma treasures, indulging in extravagance to ease his irritation.
But Ham Jin, ever since he was severely scolded by Seo Eun-hyun, has never revealed greed or desire.
Yet, now that his suppressed desires and pain have burst forth, they manifest in the most extreme way.
"I preside over the life and death of the Crystal Glass Realm. Thus, I can also preside over your life and death as well."
Badudududuk...
He will not abandon the orthodox path.
For that would tarnish his teacher's honor.
But in other words,
As long as he does not cross the line called the orthodox path that he himself has drawn, he can do 'anything'.
That is the logic, the madness that takes over Ham Jin's mind.
"From today onward, those who fail to meet the standards I set will die."
Under the logic of saving his teacher, Ham Jin begins to unleash all the madness he has been suppressing.
"Do not worry. Even death is not the end. If you meet the standards I have set after dying, I will revive you. However...those who think death is the end and neglect to train hard will never be left in peace. I will personally administer torture at the Sacred Vessel stage."
Pain.
The only way to elevate oneself without plundering and stealing from others is through endless pain.
Ham Jin chooses to become the pain of the In Clan.
"The first clan head. If there are those who fail to properly inherit the meaning of In Yeon and cannot wield the bow, they must pay the price for the talent, bloodline, and aptitude they have inherited. From now on, under my rule, you will refine your talents and aptitudes even further to grow!"
The tyrannical aspect of Ham Jin, which he had suppressed for millions of years, resurfaces in the face of an unresolvable situation that has persisted for just as long.
And so, time begins to flow once more.
One hundred thousand years since Ham Jin personally began his rule.
Chwaaak!
Ham Jin mercilessly lashes an Integration stage Grand Cultivator with a whip formed of Glass True Fire.
The current clad head, In Ryeok-shin, grits his teeth.
"Why! Have you! Still not even prepared to reach the Star Shattering stage! You retarded fools! You worthless bastards!"
Ham Jin grinds his teeth in fury, his eyes gleaming with madness.
In Ryeok-shin bows his head beneath Ham Jin, blood dripping from his body.
"Please forgive me...O Three Divine Spirits."
"I believe in you! So why does your family fail to live up to my trust!? Why!? You worthless bastards! Repay the blessings you have received! I have bestowed upon you teachings, opportunities, and spiritual elixirs without reservation, and yet, what have you been doing all this time!?"
Worthless bastards.
Lately, Ham Jin has been calling the In Clan by that name.
Perhaps, having been trapped in one place without hope, his madness is beginning to consume him entirely.
Yet, Ham Jin feels that his actions are correct.
No one has yet broken through Filling the Heavens Governing View to reach the Star Shattering stage.
However, as time passes, the In Clan members are undoubtedly deepening their understanding of Immortal Arts, and the power of their Immortal Arts within the Integration stage is steadily growing.
All of it is thanks to the pain Ham Jin personally inflicted.
'I am upholding Teacher's orthodox path.'
Ham Jin believes this.
'I am not plundering anything from anyone. I am making them grow using only their own pain as nourishment. This is...yes. This is the rod of love. With the rod of love, I am making the In Clan grow. I am...right!'
Chwak, chwak!
Relentlessly swinging the whip made of Glass True Fire, Ham Jin kicks In Ryeok-shin, whose Integrated Dao Domain has been torn to shreds.
Peok!
"Kuugh..."
"Go. I do this only for your sake. I whip you while swallowing blood tears, desperately hoping for your growth. I ask that you understand me."
"...Thank...you..."
"Good. Now go and bring your son. I must see his progress."
In Ryeok-shin bows to Ham Jin and steps out of the 'Hall of Repentant Enlightenment', patting the shoulder of his son who is waiting outside.
After his son, a Grand Perfection Four-Axis stage, enters the hall, an ear-splitting scream erupts from within.
"Why! Are you! Still in the Four-Axis stage!? I even took the Five Blessings Axes from Teacher and gave them to you! I gave you fortuitous encounters! I found you the best Dao Companion for dual cultivation! I gave you endless spiritual elixirs! Everything! I gave you everything! Yet why have you still not reached the Integration stage!? At five thousand years old, you should have reached it already! You worthless bastard!"
Chwaaak, chwaaak!
Listening to the agonized screams of his son and Ham Jin's furious roars, In Ryeok-shin clenches his teeth.
He does not say it aloud, but only one thought burns fiercely in his mind.
'Insane bastard... That madman...I have to kill him.'
In Ryeok-shin steps outside, grips his bow, and practices focusing his intent on the tip as he shoots, clenching his teeth so hard that his gums bleed.
'No matter what...I will escape that madman... No matter what...!'
This is the one million, six hundred thousandth year since Ham Jin began supporting the In Clan.
The hundred thousandth year since he started personally guiding them.
Two hundred thousand years have passed.
Chwaaak, chwaaak, chwaaaak!
Ham Jin's eyes roll back halfway as his body trembles violently.
Before him, In Gwon, the current clan head of the In Clan, lies collapsed.
Behind him, over nine thousand members of the In Clan at the Heavenly Being stage and above stand gathered.
"Only...eight thousand strikes. I did not even maximize the power of Glass True Fire, just the level of a light touch. And yet, the so-called clan head faints after just eight thousand strikes? You worthless dog bastards...I should wipe out your entire clan, but I am merciful, so I will hold back."
His body shakes with rage as he shouts.
"Instead, from today onward, Glass True Fire will be incorporated into your training. Teacher's Glass True Fire is a tool that guarantees enlightenment if you endure the pain. This will be a great opportunity for you all. You will surely...!"
As he trembles, raving about his insane training plan—
Chuk!
"...?"
Ham Jin suddenly turns his gaze towards In Gwon's son, In Hyuk.
"...What is this?"
In Hyuk, his expression calm, has his bow aimed at Ham Jin.
"Have you gone mad? You dare...!"
"We are not mad. The one who is mad is you, Elder Ham Jin of the Three Divine Spirits. The other Divine Spirits, Lord Yeo Hwi and Lord Yu Hwi remain silent, yet why is it only Elder Ham Jin who oppresses and torments us?"
"Oppress...? Torment...? Do not spew nonsense. I am making you grow! So that you can soar! I am wielding the rod of love with a heart that swallows sand for your sake! And now, to me, who guides you with a parent's heart...you point your bow?"
"...Our great-great-grandfather, Grandfather In Ryeok-shin, left us these words."
In Hyuk speaks with a calm face.
"Kill the heavens. That is the only way we will survive."
"Yes! That is right! You must kill the heavens. The heavens! Those suns floating in the sky..."
"The heavens that oppress us are not the suns. It is you, Elder Three Divine Spirits Ham Jin."
"...What?"
"And so, we will no longer follow your meaning. Please leave our family alone."
"These...these crazy bastards... Just who are you aiming your bow at right now!? I am your parent, your teacher! You are a mere Integration stage, and I am a Sacred Vessel! I am..."
In Hyuk no longer listens to Ham Jin's words and releases the bowstring.
Piiit!
Ham Jin scoffs.
"You bugs who haven't even properly entered Immortal Arts. Do you think your arrows can reach—kueogh!"
Suddenly, Ham Jin coughs up spiritual energy as red as blood, his eyes widening in shock.
"Wh-What is this...!?"
"What Grandfather In Ryeok-shin passed down...were not just words."
Bloodshot veins rise in In Hyuk's eyes.
"Starting from his generation...we began to realize it. The certain [power] that has been passed down in our family...The starting point of that [Inherited Immortal Art]..."
"Th-This is..."
"In our great-grandfather's time, he understood the essence of that Immortal Art, and in our grandfather's time, he began drawing that Immortal Art into our own strength. And my father—who just collapsed under your blows—succeeded in fully embedding that power into the tip of an arrow. What I hold in my hands...is the culmination of the karma of those who were tormented and oppressed by you."
Kiiiiiiing!
The bow is completely dyed black.
Ham Jin's eyes widen as he recognizes the Immortal Art imbued within the bow.
'T-Tainted Soul Filling the Heavens...? No...Through generations of inheritance...its nature has completely changed. That is...!'
"Immortal Art, Sun Shooting (射日). This is...the culmination of the In Clan's long-cherished wish!"
Piiit!
Once again, the bowstring is released, and Ham Jin clenches his teeth, unleashing Glass True Fire.
Hwarurururuk!
"Don't make me laugh! I am your teacher, your parent, and your god! Without me, you cannot grow! Like slugs...like slugs, you will only grow slowly! You need me! Look! It is because I was here that you too have awakened Immortal Arts..."
Ham Jin transforms like a sun radiating Glass True Fire.
No arrow seems capable of piercing him.
However, that single arrow imbued with the Immortal Art Sun Shooting strikes straight through Ham Jin's body.
His internal world quakes.
The Immortal Art of someone not even at the Star Shattering stage, merely at the Grand Perfection Integration stage.
Yet that single Immortal Art pierces the Sacred Vessel stage Ham Jin, soars to the sky, pierces the moon, and then penetrates a certain mist that enshrouds the entire Crystal Glass Realm.
The hole it leaves behind is not large.
At most, only the width of an arrow, a minuscule hole.
The Immortal Art Sun Shooting, which couldn't even reach Seo Eun-hyun's Radiance Ten Heavens, crumbles on the spot.
But...it undoubtedly pierced it.
For the first time, Seo Eun-hyun's Filling the Heavens Governing View had been breached.
Ham Jin witnesses this and thinks.
'I...was...right...'
However, In Hyuk shouts with cold but anger-filled eyes.
"This is not your teaching."
"...What?"
"This is love, passed down from our great-great-grandfather."
"...What did you say...?"
"The heart that my child would not suffer under you. The heart that my child would not inherit this pain...! Not your pain but the love of Great-Great-Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, Grandfather, and Father! That is the essence of this Immortal Art!"
With those words, the Immortal Art Sun Shooting pierces through Ham Jin's chest.
Piiiiiit!
Piiiiiit!
It is not just one arrow.
Two.
Three.
Four!
A total of nine arrows fly forth from the Immortal Art of Sun Shooting before finally coming to a stop. Ham Jin, in unbearable agony, is cast out from the planet of the In Clan.
"...Ha...haha..."
Tears stream from Ham Jin's eyes.
Even now, he could destroy them all along with the planet, but shame holds him back.
Because.
At this moment, Ham Jin understands everything.
"...So it was you."
Behind In Hyuk, who spoke of love, an all too familiar presence reflected in Ham Jin's eyes.
"...You had already...settled within them...watching all this time..."
Ham Jin finally realizes and cries out.
"Teacher...!"
Only today does Ham Jin recognize the will of Seo Eun-hyun, embedded within the In Clan.
His teacher had come to his senses.
He realizes the true identity of the child called In Yeon.
'So he...was originally a fragment of Teacher's realm...'
The existence known as In Yeon had originated from Seo Eun-hyun's Vast Cold Heavenly Circle.
'He was simply unable to move his main body freely because of the light, but his will was already awake. He awakened...and has been walking together with this Ham Jin this entire time.'
Rooted within the bloodline of the In Clan, he has remained alongside Ham Jin, striving to break free from the restraint of light.
One million, eight hundred thousand years since In Yeon was born.
Ham Jin, at last, confirms his teacher's will under the In Clan and regains his senses.
Kugugugugu!
Nine million years.
Ham Jin gazes upon the nine suns rising over the Crystal Glass Realm.
"...Teacher. Now, there are nine."
His teacher's main body has already completed nine suns and is beginning to create the tenth.
The completion of the Radiance Ten Heavens formula is now within reach.
"Teacher. Will you...be able to escape?"
Ham Jin asks towards Seo Eun-hyun's will, embedded within the In Clan.
The response comes in the form of a powerful arrow, soaring toward the sky.
Tuhwak!
The current clan head of the In Clan,
In Hu releases an arrow skyward.
That arrow pierces through the stratosphere, leaps beyond the moon, surpasses Seo Eun-hyun's Filling the Heavens Governing View, and flies straight towards the center of the Crystal Glass Realm.
Towards one of the nine suns there, toward the Castle Wall fixed star.
At last,
Puhwak!
That single arrow infused with the Immortal Art, Sun Shooting, reaches the sun and burns away.
Watching this, Ham Jin sheds tears.
'...It reached it.'
For nine million years,
Not a single being had ever reached Seo Eun-hyun's authority.
But now, the heart accumulated by In Yeon's history has finally touched upon it.
'One million years remain.'
Enough time for ten generations of Integration level clan heads to come and go.
It is far too short a time, yet Ham Jin lets go of his worries.
'It will reach. Because...'
The In Clan is the place where his teacher's will resides.
'The power of love passed down through them...Teacher once told me that it is the strongest power of all.'
Believing in that strongest power, Ham Jin continues waiting for the Radiance Ten Heavens.
Waiting for the conclusion to arrive.
The time for Sunlight Hunting is near.
