Episode 232 Are you going to regret it later?
I stopped walking.
It wasn’t because of the sandstorm that blew. The question I asked him before was very important to me.
“When I asked if it was possible to slow down time within space-time transformation, this is what you answered. “You idiot, does that make sense?”
I remembered exactly what he said.
“Actually, the sect leader and previous sect leaders tried it, but they said it was impossible.”
“You also have a good memory.”
After a moment, the leader of the Pungcheon Church spoke.
“That is both true and false.”
“What do you mean?”
“In fact, no matter how much I studied and practiced, it was impossible. I still feel the same way. “You idiot, does that make sense?”
“Then what is a lie?”
“I said it was nonsense to you, but in fact there was a secret secretly passed down to the religious leaders. “It’s called Sicheon Secret Art.”
The moment I heard those words, my heart was agitated. The Pungcheon religious leader read my emotions and spoke quickly.
“Don’t expect too much. Because there is no sect leader who has actually mastered the secret art of Sicheon. No matter how much I studied and practiced, it was just a waste of time. “I’m skeptical that this is the right secret.”
Still, I was feeling passionate. Because this is so important to me.
Pungcheon’s explanation continued.
“According to the records left behind, the Sicheon Secret Art was created 200 years ago when Yeon Myeong-deok, the leader of the cult at the time, retired from his position and lived in seclusion and succeeded in making time pass differently inside and outside of the Time-Space Transformation Art. “It was said that an hour had passed inside, but less than half an hour had passed when we came out.”
The leader of Pungcheon once again emphasized that this was impossible.
“But no one has been able to achieve it since the founder. He couldn’t help but be like that because at that time, the leader of the school had the deepest inner strength in the history of Pungcheongyo, and he was born with the gift of heaven and earth, and his level of martial arts was indescribably high. So the average person couldn’t understand the secret he left behind. Or maybe the secret he left behind was wrong.”
“But why are you telling me this?”
His and my gaze became intertwined in the air.
“Before that, let me ask first. Why are you interested in this impossible task? “Of course, everyone dreams of such a space, but it seems like you have a reason other than a vague wish.”
There was a reason. It was because of Guhwamagong.
If I receive training in the Nine Fire Magic Gong, I must achieve great success. Besides, my goal is not to be great at the Ten Stars, but to be great at the Twelve Stars.
But there was absolutely no time. It may be different from other martial arts, but it is the twelve-star greatness of the Nine Fire Demonic Arts. Because it was never an easy task.
“There are people who want to beat me up after training without any effort.”
“Now you’re going to beat me by adding training to your skills? “I don’t know who it was, but I got caught by mistake.”
Yes, just like the religious leader said, it was caught wrongly. Fire weapon or me. One of us got it wrong.
“When you first asked me that, I never imagined this moment would come.”
Immediately, amazing words flowed from his mouth.
“I will teach you the secret art of Sicheon.”
Our gazes intertwined in the air. Even though it is a secret that no one has been able to achieve, it is definitely not a record that anyone would want to give away.
“Even though I didn’t succeed… you might succeed.”
When I looked into my trembling eyes and asked why he was giving me this favor, the leader of Pungcheon boldly revealed his feelings.
“Didn’t you say that? “You will make me your master here.”
“!”
“Isn’t it natural for a master to pass on his secrets to his disciples?”
I was truly moved. I know to some extent what kind of person he is. He is as greedy as he is human and regrets what he has given me so far.
But he wants to give it again. He is about to give away his secret power again.
“Are you going to regret it later?”
“If you regret it, don’t do it. “If I have regrets again, aren’t I a person with knowledge?”
The moment I heard those words, my heart sank. He was truly giving everything for me. Seo Dae-ryong looked at me and said. They say that if you give one, you will get back ten. That was what I would say to the leader of the Pungcheon Church. I gave him one and he was paying me back with ten.
I bowed down on the spot.
“Be grumpy and be condescending. I will accept everything for the rest of my life. thank you.”
Rather, the leader of Pungcheon stood me up with tears in his eyes.
“I don’t know if this is something to be thankful for or not. Rather, I am worried that I will steal your time and energy by passing on a secret technique that is not successful.”
“Please leave the rest to me.”
“Now listen carefully from now on.”
The leader of Pungcheon taught me the secret techniques of Sicheon. I checked several times to see if I had memorized it well.
“If this were possible, the slowing time would vary depending on the person, right?”
“I guess so?”
“Then, one day, when the secret art of Sicheon reaches its peak, it may be possible for time to stop there.”
“Do you dream of flying when you can’t even walk yet?”
“Because I have a lot of greed for martial arts.”
We looked at each other and laughed.
“That would be beyond human capabilities.”
“I’ll give it a try.”
“Even though I don’t think it will work, I’m also looking forward to it because it’s you. “How you will surprise me with this.”
He won’t know. How thankful I am for this moment. I will definitely refine my secret techniques of Sicheon and make him astonished.
* * *
By myself, I opened a space using space-time anomaly and once again demonstrated the secret art of time and space there.
Whiiiiiiiig.
The sound of the wind blowing around was strangely audible. I hadn’t yet gotten past the initial stage of structuring, but the amount of skill required was already enormous. I could tell. Why did everyone give up before achieving this?
The problem was that the secret art was difficult, but the amount of skill required was too much. In this case, even if the secret method was successful, the time one could stay here would have been extremely short, making the secret feel like it had no meaning.
Moreover, if I were to practice martial arts here, I would have had to put in extra effort, so I wouldn’t have dared to do it.
But it has meaning to me.
Because my inner strength was so pure and magnificent that it could not be compared to anyone else in this martial arts world.
In addition, there was a certain belief. As with other top-level martial arts, the efficiency of internal skills will rapidly improve as the level of Sicheon Secret Art increases. That was the case even in the Poongsin Sabo. As the level increases, the speed becomes faster and the required internal energy becomes less.
I learned the Sicheon Secret Art with the confidence that it would definitely work. believed in me This is because I was confident that my current level of martial arts would be higher than the level of martial arts at the time when Yeon Myeong-deok created this secret.

The next day, I ran into Gowol in the yard.
“Are you in a good mood?”
In response to Gowol’s question, my eyes turned to the head of the Pungcheon Church who was standing next to me.
“Something good happened.”
Gowol, who was quick to notice, realized that it was related to the Pungcheon religious leader.
“What did you bring me when you said you didn’t want to meet a scientist?”
In response to Gowol’s question, the leader of Pungcheon looked into the distance and looked the other way.
I asked Gowol with a smile.
“How about you?”
“I think we need more time. “Now is not the time to use your head, but the time to use your eyes.”
It meant watching and observing the other person. The goal is to find loopholes in Yayulhan’s daily life.
He was busy all day. I met people who received and sent letters and passed on information, and came back. Of course, I wasn’t worried because the leader of Pungcheon was with me.
“It’s okay to take as much time as you want. “Handle it carefully.”
“yes!”
“I’ll bring something delicious, so let’s have dinner together.”
I plan on eating something really special for dinner tonight.
* * *
That day, I sold some of the wild wine that had been left on the battlefield and bought four roots of Millennium Seolsam.
Having traveled all over the central plains and experienced all sorts of things before returning, I was well aware of the undercover store selling elixirs near the headquarters of the Apostolic Alliance.
As it was an item that was difficult to obtain, it was very expensive, but I did not spare any money to buy it.
After returning to the safe house after purchasing the Millennium Snow Ginseng, I called on both Geukak Soma and Gowol Pungcheon Gyoju. He put down the thousand-year-old ginseng in front of them and spoke firmly as if he were driving a nail into it.
“Now, let’s do it one root at a time. Specifications are specifications. “You must take it right now in front of me.”
As I said when I shared the elixir with Extreme Soma, I am not a person who shares elixirs with others. Nevertheless, I wanted to share the elixir with them.
It was a cheer for the evil Soma who was about to fight, a gift for the leader of the Pungcheon Church who gave up his final battle, and it was also a tonic for Gowol, who had suffered so far.
The leader of Pungcheon trembled jokingly.
“Why do you refuse this good thing? “Let me be the one to decline!”
Gao Yue’s expression showed on his face, ‘I don’t need you, Confucius, please eat’, but he knew. I told myself not to decline.
Gowol bowed his head and Geukaksoma expressed his gratitude with his eyes.
So, the four of us took Millennium Seolsam together.
I had so much inner strength that I could now say that the message would not last for a thousand years, but for the other three people, it was still a very helpful elixir. In particular, for Gowol, who has the least amount of internal energy, it will be most effective not only in internal energy but also in restoring energy to a tired body.
-Take care of your health, soldier.
A telegram was especially sent to him.
Gowol expressed his gratitude to me with deep eyes.

Gowol finally found a way.
“So far, I have done a lot of research on Yayulhan. His residence is in Naewon, Sadomaeng. I wake up in the morning, train, eat, spend the day as a member of the extreme military unit, and then go in when called by Maengjujeon. He spent all his time inside the Apostolic League. “I haven’t gone outside at all since the death of Ji-saeng and my beloved car.”
Yayulhan, who misunderstood that the Apostle Lord was targeting him, was completely cautious, and thanks to that, it was not easy to seize the opportunity to attack him.
“It won’t be easy.”
“yes. Hitting him in the blind is several times more difficult.”
Even if it wasn’t difficult, killing him within the Apostolic Alliance was something that had to be avoided. Since Bisain has given permission for this incident, we must be respectful of the Apostolic Alliance.
“I was curious. Are Oroesingeom and Hyeolryungeop also living within the Sado Alliance like Yayulhan?”
Gowol looked at me and asked my opinion.
“There won’t be any.”
“Why do you think so?”
“This is because both of them have achieved martial arts achievements. There is an agreement between the Murim Alliance and the Sado Alliance. “It is an agreement that those who achieve martial arts achievements must never be hidden.”
The head of the Pungcheon Church intervened and said.
“Will the Sapa bastards keep such an agreement?”
“Anyone who tries to keep this agreement will be Yayulhan.”
“Why him?”
“Because you don’t want to be caught by the Apostle Lord. “If the Apostle Lord attacks him, there will be no better excuse than this.”
The leader of the Pungcheon Church nodded with an expression that said he had not even thought about that.
Gowol came out again.
“You got it right. you’re right. Oroe Shingeom and Hyeolryun Gyeop do not live inside the Sadomaeng. So I tried to find out where they lived.”
“There must be a residence near the headquarters, right?”
“yes. However, it was so well hidden that it was not easy to find. So I changed my method. “We kept an eye out for people who might go there.”
“who? Yayulhan?”
“no. “This is Chahwan.”
Chahwan, the last survivor among the four members of the group.
“He is acting as Yayulhan’s right-hand man. Obviously, someone would have to treat and assist an old expert like Oroe Shingeom, but I wouldn’t have entrusted him to just anyone.”
I decided it was the right approach. As expected, Gowol made a smart decision.
“While monitoring the refinancing, I discovered something unusual. “It was revealed that he buys Shanxi liquor once a month.”
Gowol added with meaningful eyes.
“The hometown of Wu Lei God Sword is Shanxi. According to the information sent from Tongcheongak, his favorite drink was Busi.”
“You are taking that liquor to Oroe Shingeom.”
“That’s right. Based on that, we followed Chahwan and discovered Oroe Shingeom’s residence.”
“Good job!”
“The problem is Yayulhan. Because of this incident, I am refraining from going outside at all and am also not meeting with Oroe Shingeom. However, while looking at the data sent from Tongcheongak, I found this. “Look.”
While looking at the materials he handed me, I looked at Gowol with meaningful eyes.
“It’s Oreudingeom’s birthday soon!”
“It’s also my 90th birthday. “I don’t know about other days, but on this day, Yayulhan and Hyeolryungeop will go to congratulate him.”
Gowol’s eyes sparkled.
“We will get it done today. There’s no need to take the risk of dealing with them all at once. We will take them one by one with a time lag. First, kill the Oreudshingeom and eliminate all those who visit there one by one.”
I gave Gowol a firm pat on the shoulder.
“I had a really hard time figuring it out.”
“Thanks to Millennium Snow Ginseng.”
Although he smiled, Gao Yue still looked worried.
I said while looking at Extreme Soma.
“It’s the old man’s birthday. Should we go celebrate it too?”
The two eyes inside Extreme Soma’s eye sockets began to burn with a blue flame.
“Leave it to us from now on!”
