!! Episode 71…!!
As we entered Tongcheonru, there were numerous stairs and tall bookshelves surrounded on all sides like a castle wall.
Sigh…!
thud! thud!! Wow!!
The pages inside the bookshelf were shaking rapidly as if they were blowing in the wind, and the stairs that were built to go up the bookshelf were moving on their own as if they were alive.
[Wow…]
Gyu-ryu let out an involuntary exclamation at the sight.
As Mu-hwi’s son, it was his first time seeing this and he could not hide his surprise.
[I lived and lived to be able to enter the Tongtianru… It’s truly the best moment of Gyu-ryu’s life!]
Although he was destined to become a living punching bag soon, Gyu-ryu seemed to enjoy the moment and started looking around excitedly.
“You don’t have to be too grateful.”
Namgung felt a little sorry for his crush, so he spoke in a voice so low that it was barely audible.
[Hey Namgung! Look at this!!]
Gyu-ryu, who was excitedly looking at the bookshelf, took out one of the books on the shelf.
[This is red blood surgery! It is a yaksha technique that allows you to extract blood from the body and use it as armor and weapons. Don’t be alarmed if your blood is drawn. Just one drop of blood is enough!]
He spoke as if he was more excited than Namgung.
[It is the unique technique of Inuka, who was the third of all previous leaders. He reached the top with this single technique.]
Numbering 32-2
Name: Secret Book – Red Blood Jutsu
Grade: Unique (best)
▶ A classical technique developed by Inuka, the head of the 3rd Yaksha.
▶ You can use a small amount of blood to create the weapons and armor you want.
▶ Hardness and sharpness vary greatly depending on the user’s capabilities.
[Gasp… Is this really a reverse truth? It’s crazy… there’s even a secret book from the first leader!] As
soon as he handed over the [Red Blood Art] to Namgung, Gyu-ryu shouted with an even more surprised expression, as if he had never done that before.
[no. no. Namgoong! Learn this! This is the best Yasha Jutsu!]
Snatching the [Red Blood Jutsu] in his hand, Gyu-Ryu placed a secret book that was much older than that in Namgung’s hand.
Numbering 32-1
Name: Secret Book – Yeokjin-gyeong (易眞經)
Grade: Unique (best)
▶ The first Yaksha leader’s immeasurable Yaksha technique.
▶ A basic book that forms the basis of all yaksha techniques.
▶ It controls the energy inside the body called fighting spirit, and through that power, it trains the body and releases power to the outside.
▶ When acquired, the abilities of all Yasha techniques learned thereafter increase.
As he said, 【Yeokjingyeong】 was the basic and at the same time the most profound technique of Yasha technique.
“Gyu-ryu.”
Namgung said while looking at the secret book.
“He’s a good guy.”
The numbering of the secret book is 32.
Among them, the fact that it had the additional number 1 meant that it was by far the best among all the Yaksha secret books in number 32.
[ha ha ha. What do you mean?]
“The secret books in the tower are all great enough to be worth learning. But among them, these two you brought are truly the best.”
[Haha well… Isn’t that obvious? Namgung must become strong so that I can become the king of different types.]
Namgung smiled bitterly at his answer.
“Unlike the leaders, the time has not yet come.”
[Huh?]
“You really want me to become stronger.”
[Haha, all proxy clans need to make their contractors stronger.]
“The Fairy Queen will be different.”
[What do you mean by that?]
Gyu-ryu asked back as if he didn’t understand.
“The World Tree staff that the queen gave to Somin. “It is definitely the greatest artifact with great power, but it is also dangerous.”
Namgung rolled up the【Yeokjinkyung】 in his hand and tapped it with his palm as he spoke.
“Even if Somin has legendary qualities, if she uses that staff too much right now, her body won’t be able to withstand it. But has the Queen ever mentioned such a thing?”
[That’s for sure…]
“The queen would also like Somin to become stronger. “Only when my daughter becomes strong will I resolve the resentment that has been harbored for so many years.”
[You are talking about the soul well that was stolen by the Naga clan.]
“Yes. The reason they aim for the throne is to retrieve the soul well. “They pretend to be clean and moderate, but there is nothing as dark as the queen’s true intentions.”
[Uhm….]
Gyu-ryu slowly nodded at Namgung’s words.
“The same goes for non-emergency books. There are techniques that allow you to gain great power in a short period of time, but most of them don’t end well. But these two books you brought are both top-quality and foundational.”
Namgung looked at him.
“But if you want to become stronger in a short period of time, you need to learn evil techniques, not these basic techniques. “Of the 32 Yasha techniques, 30 are all magical techniques.”
[Ha ha ha….]
“If you had the same feelings as the queen, you would have brought the rest of the evil arts except for these two books.”
[sure. How can you compare me to a queen whose heart is as small as an insect?]
Even as Gyu-ryu said that, he scratched his head as if he were embarrassed.
[So… what do you want to learn? Even if I was a contracted person, my father would not have allowed me to learn all the techniques in the tower.]
“Like you, I only allowed one technique.”
[Well, the elders would have been in an uproar just by letting Namgung into the tower.
“He said that if I perform satisfactory work later, he will open the underground passage of the tower through non-gong sales.”
[The basement of another tower?]
Gyu-ryu looked surprised at Namgung’s words.
“Well, it’s not a place you can enter even if he allows it…”
[The basement of the tower is a sanctuary… Did your father really say he would allow you to go there? How great of a feat are you trying to make?]
“Because it’s life-threatening.”
Gyu-ryu just stared at him in fascination, as if he had no clue.
“ruler.”
Namgung took out a secret document from the bookshelf and shoved it into his chest.
“Give me one day. Cook everything.”
Gyu-ryu nodded as he looked at the【Fighting Armor】 that was in his arms.
[What about Namgung?]
“Because it’s only one chance. “I also have to choose carefully.”
[Oh, don’t worry about it. As far as I know, those two are the best at yaksha drinking.]
“Yes. It’s the best technique you know. know.”
[…?]
Namgung waved his hand to indicate that he should go quickly.
[All right. Then….]
Hwaaah-!!
Gyu Ryu nodded and disappeared with the secret book in hand.
“Hmm.”
Only then did Namgoong, who was alone, nod his head with an expression of relief.
‘In order to learn the secret book within the tower, it is only possible in the training hall on the upper floor.’
This was because a barrier was placed on all secret books, and the barrier could only be broken at the training hall.
That meant that Gyu-ryu also had no choice but to go to the training hall to learn the techniques.
In other words, Namgung is alone here now.
“Hmm….”
Namgung quietly put the [Reverse Jinyeong] that Gyu-ryu had given him into the bookshelf.
“Of course… Unique grade secret books are rare enough that you have to go through at least 10 doors to get them.”
Now that only two doors are over, you will be able to make a significant difference no matter what you learn here.
But it’s only one chance.
There was no reason to let go of the best and learn from those below.
He walked behind the bookshelf without hesitation
.
‘All Yaksha leaders leave behind secret books of their techniques. And this is where all their secret books are gathered.’
32 volumes of secret books.
However, there were a total of 33 heads of yakshas in history, excluding Muhwi.
‘Volume 1 not here.’
Namgung wanted to get it.
In his previous life, Mu-hwi had asked him for Gyu-ryu and told him a secret.
A leader who was dethroned and whose existence was concealed.
‘Son of immeasurable power. Anonymous.’
He was the most powerful Yaksha in history.
However, despite becoming the leader, he was not recorded in any records and was completely concealed.
In fact, being dethroned in the world of Yaksya, where strength is considered supreme, was an unusual thing.
[Muryang, the first leader, was strong. In fact, there was no one within the clan who could defeat his counterattack.]
Namgung recalled what Muhwi had said.
[However, although reverse fighting is a great technique for learning speculation, it had a very big problem. The point is that as the fighting spirit intensifies, one loses oneself and becomes more vicious.]
Fighting spirit literally means maximizing the will to fight.
[Muryang eventually went crazy. Someone in the clan had to kill him. But no one dared.]
“It was his son, Unknown, who killed him.”
[that’s right. He created a new technique that would destroy countless techniques. And in the end, he killed his father, who had gone crazy, and ascended to the position of leader.]
“Hmm…”
[But it seems he couldn’t escape the guilt of killing Muryang. In the end, he stepped down from his position as leader and hid all his tracks.]
“This is unbecoming of a yaksha.”
Namgung nodded at his words.
[Kukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… What is it like to be a yaksha?]
“You originally inherit the position by killing the previous leader.”
[In fact, it is a ritual created because of countless events. The meaning of worshiping power was an excuse to kill the ancestors. Yaksa who have learned the reverse truth are bound to go crazy over time. Let’s end it with our own hands before we go crazy.]
“I guess it was to remove the guilt of the next leader rather than faith in power.”
Namgung looked bitter at his words.
[Well…]
His reaction was subtle.
“I’m curious about one thing. You too must have killed the previous leader and ascended to that position. Do you feel guilty?”
[no. I do not think so. Yasha considers death by someone stronger than herself to be the best death.]
Mu-hwi said with an expression that he did not like for some reason.
[None of the clan was able to kill Muryang. The nameless person who gave him death should be proud.]
Tsk –
I heard the sound of clicking one’s tongue.
[What I want to say is this. If you enter Tongtianru… learn the art of ignorance.]
And he left his last words.
[The nameless one is the best among the yakshas.]
‘The problem is that even the unknown person does not know where the techniques left behind by the unknown person are.’
It was a success to get to Tongtianlu.
However, since he did not know where it was, Namgung had no choice but to be at a loss.
‘Mumyeong is a person who even stepped down from the position of leader out of guilt for killing Muryang.’
So, as Mu-hwi said, is he someone who has a different mentality from ordinary yakshas?
‘He created a technique that could destroy Yeokjin-gyeong, but he placed the infinite technique as the best instead of his own technique.’
Is it courtesy to my father?
“….”
‘Otherwise, Yeokjingyeong would not have existed as the best Yaksha technique until now.’
They must have tried to hide it thoroughly.
“no way?”
Namgung hurriedly ran to the bookshelf where he had placed 【Reverse Jinyeong】 just a moment ago.
“…!!!”
