Chapter 190. Pray That Your Luck Is Good
“Are you going now?”
Yi Seol asked Jin Cheon.
“I held onto Seventh Young Master for too long. You must be very tired, please go and rest.”
Since she also had a conscience, it seemed she intended to let Jin Cheon go by now.
Indeed, since she held him for nearly ten shichen after saying A Moment, it was worth releasing him for conscience's sake.
She was sleepy too.
“I think I found it.”
“Yes?”
“I think I found a way to revert those who became demonic monsters.”
“I, Is that true?”
“Yes.”
“How…….”
“Look here.”
Jin Cheon pointed to the mnemonic chant he made.
“Th, This is.”
Yi Seol recognized the core point of the mnemonic chant at a glance and flinched in surprise.
Befitting her with a natural talent for martial arts research, she saw through what Jin Cheon intended to say at once.
“This goes beyond common sense. If an ordinary person circulates demonic qi like this…….”
“Yes, they will die instantly. Here, the brain will die.”
Jin Cheon tapped his head and said.
“But it will apply differently to people who have become demonic monsters.”
“Is that true?”
“Probably.”
Jin Cheon couldn't be certain.
Since it was a mnemonic chant of such an unconventional and experimental nature, even Jin Cheon found it hard to guarantee unconditional success.
However, sufficient possibility was seen in the eyes of the Heavenly Demon’s Physique who rose to the realm of Demonic Emperor.
“Let’s try it.”
“By saying let’s try…….”
“I must go to the Demonic Ghost Cave.”
To catch a tiger, one must go to the tiger’s den.
To test this mnemonic chant on people who have become demonic monsters, going to the place where they teem, that is, the Demonic Ghost Cave, one of the Five Great Forbidden Areas of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, was a perfectly natural thing.
“But the Demonic Ghost Cave is…… Ah.”
Yi Seol stopped speaking mid-sentence.
Jin Cheon was a figure who had already conquered and pioneered four of the Five Great Forbidden Areas of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult: Sea of Trees, Scorching Hell, Eternal Island, and Heavenly Demon Peak.
No matter how terrifying a place the Demonic Ghost Cave was, that would only apply to others.
“I will go and experiment right away.”
“Will you be okay? You must be tired…….”
“Sleep has fled completely, so I think I can move a bit more.”
Jin Cheon smiled bitterly.
After rising to the realm of Demonic Emperor, human physiological phenomena didn't become much of a constraint.
Because if he set his mind to it, he could overcome sleep or appetite based on transcendent physical ability…….
“Since it is a situation where I must move busily, I will go straight away.”
“Even so, you must be careful. The demonic monsters of the Demonic Ghost Cave are not simple demonic monsters.”
“I know.”
Jin Cheon knew too well why Yi Seol bothered to warn him.
The demonic monsters of the Demonic Ghost Cave were basically existences that live eternally.
Those who became demonic monsters didn't eat, drink, nor did they age or get sick.
They were existences maintaining life with demonic qi, yin qi, and darkness as nutrients.
Since it was possible to live for hundreds of years with just a little sleep, they were dangerous.
Why?
Because among those who became demonic monsters, there were many figures from hundreds of years ago, and among them, those with truly high martial arts could be found frequently.
But that too was a matter not applicable to Jin Cheon.
Jin Cheon was a Heavenly Demon’s Physique.
An existence born to rule and lead the Demonic.
***
As soon as he left the Demonic Scripture Pavilion, Jin Cheon headed to the Demonic Ghost Cave immediately.
“Liege, where are you going.”
“Demonic Ghost Cave.”
“Pardoooon?!”
Danmok Cheong was startled.
But his reaction was not much different from Yi Seol’s.
Looking back at the unbelievable tracks Jin Cheon had shown so far, he did not doubt that he would come out alive even if he went to the Demonic Ghost Cave.
Moreover, wasn't it no exaggeration to say that Jin Cheon was the strongest in the Cult except for the Iron-Blooded Demonic God as he was in a higher realm?
“Captain Dan.”
“Please command.”
“When I enter the Demonic Ghost Cave, make sure to station people at the entrance.”
“Obey.”
Danmok Cheong accepted Jin Cheon’s order without asking or questioning.
At this point, there would be no need to question the order anymore.
Of course, questions were sometimes needed to execute the order well by knowing the reason, though.
‘The Liege is trying to write a legend again.’
Danmok Cheong was certain that this move of Jin Cheon would also become an event that would remain long in the history of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.
Since Jin Cheon’s tracks had been so until now, he thought it would be the same this time.
This too shall be recorded as Jin Cheon’s great achievement in the Divine Cult Historical Records…….
“By the way, Captain Dan.”
“Yes, Liege.”
“Where is the Demonic Ghost Cave?”
“…….”
Danmok Cheong was at a loss for words for a moment, but soon regained his composure.
Since the time Jin Cheon was active outside, specifically in the Central Plains, was longer than the time he stayed in the Cult, it wasn't strange that he didn't know the location of the Demonic Ghost Cave.
“I will escort you.”
Danmok Cheong smiled bitterly and guided Jin Cheon to the Demonic Ghost Cave.
“Greetings to the Seventh Young Master!”
Martial artists guarding the front of the Demonic Ghost Cave discovered Jin Cheon and knelt on one knee to pay respects.
“Is this the Demonic Ghost Cave.”
“Yes, Liege.”
The Demonic Ghost Cave, visited for the first time, was located on the outskirts of the Divine Land, and it wasn't something like a cave.
The entrance to the Demonic Ghost Cave consisted of a hole pierced in the bare ground.
How deep on earth it was, it was hard to guess even at a glance.
“How deep is it?”
“I know it as about one hundred Zhang.”
“Ordinary cliffs wouldn't even be able to present a business card.”
“I think this was the only way to prevent demonic monsters from crawling out.”
“Well, I guess so.”
Jin Cheon nodded.
If it was a hole of one hundred Zhang, even demonic monsters wouldn't dare to crawl up easily.
“I will be in the Demonic Ghost Cave, so stand by here.”
“Yes, Liege.”
Answering so, Danmok Cheong looked back at the martial artists guarding the front of the Demonic Ghost Cave.
“You guys prepare the pulley so the Seventh Young Master can go down.”
“Yes, Seventh Captain.”
A pulley was installed at the entrance of the Demonic Ghost Cave just like a well.
Since they couldn't make a person who became a demonic monster fall to death, it was equipment used when sending them down to confine them in the Demonic Ghost Cave.
“No.”
Jin Cheon shook his head.
“I don't need the pulley.”
“Pardon?”
“Then, I'll be back.”
Saying that, Jin Cheon jumped lightly toward the Demonic Ghost Cave.
He threw his body without any safety equipment toward the hole that was a whopping one hundred Zhang deep.
“L, Liege!”
Startled Danmok Cheong shouted, but Jin Cheon was already falling far away, so even his figure was not visible.
“Oh my god.”
“To throw himself into the Demonic Ghost Cave.”
“Such nonsensical……!”
People couldn't hide their astonishment at Jin Cheon’s reckless and bold action.
What madman would throw his body toward a place no different from a thousand-fathom cliff?
But that was brief.
Danmok Cheong quickly regained his composure and ordered the Seventh Divine Demon Squad.
“Make sure to widely announce within the Cult that the Liege has entered the Demonic Ghost Cave.”
“Obey.”
Danmok Cheong harbored a whimsical thought.
There was a feeling that Jin Cheon’s activities so far were known too reduced compared to the facts.
Not only did Jin Cheon not like bragging about his achievements, but since the time he stayed in the Cult was short, there were few opportunities for them to be widely known.
So Danmok Cheong hoped Jin Cheon’s achievements would be widely known at this opportunity.
‘If the Liege succeeds in liberating the demonic monsters of the Demonic Ghost Cave, he will receive overwhelming support from the cultists. Hahaha.’
A smile blossomed on Danmok Cheong’s lips.
As a confidant among confidants of Jin Cheon, Danmok Cheong wanted Jin Cheon’s achievements to be widely known as well as receive proper evaluation.
So he wanted to widely announce within the Cult that Jin Cheon went to the Demonic Ghost Cave.
Meanwhile, Jin Cheon, who threw his body into the Demonic Ghost Cave, unfolded the Nine-headed Dragon Robe.
Chwararak!
Flap!
Just as the Nine-headed Dragon Robe seemed to unfold like a giant flying squirrel, it slowed down Jin Cheon’s falling speed.
The next part was too easy.
Just by lightly stepping on the air right before the crash with the method of Walking on Air, Jin Cheon could land safely in the Demonic Ghost Cave.
Having risen to the realm of Demonic Emperor, distance and height were no longer constraints for Jin Cheon.
‘The demonic qi is considerable.’
Jin Cheon nodded at the demonic qi felt in the Demonic Ghost Cave.
With this much demonic qi, he thought it was sufficient to serve as nutrients for the demonic monsters.
‘That way.’
Jin Cheon wandered inside the Demonic Ghost Cave as if out for a walk and set out to find the demonic monsters.
It was perfect darkness without a single point of light, but there was no hesitation in Jin Cheon’s steps.
Because in Jin Cheon’s eyes, even this Demonic Ghost Cave looked bright like broad daylight, so there was no hindrance in moving.
***
“Grrr?!”
“Grrrrr!”
The demonic monsters of the Demonic Ghost Cave reacted to the sudden presence and moved toward where the sound came from.
Since demonic monsters could distinguish between the same demonic monsters and humans like ghosts, if a human entered, it was possible to notice quickly and track.
Drip!
Drool trickled down from the mouths of the demonic monsters wandering in search of the presence.
Demonic monsters were existences that usually lived on the demonic qi of the Demonic Ghost Cave, this pitch-black darkness, and a little sleep as nutrients.
However, there was something they liked most, and that was none other than human flesh.
Demonic monsters were hell-bent on attacking and eating people to the extent that it was no exaggeration to call them evil ghosts crazy for human flesh.
So the demonic monsters of the Demonic Ghost Cave smelled the human scent they hadn't smelled in who knew how long, and ran madly to find the prey.
However…….
“G, Grrr?!”
“Kyaak?”
As soon as the demonic monsters discovered the one emitting the human scent, they didn't know what to do and ended up flustered.
The human was clearly human, but the energy and atmosphere emitted seemed like something they shouldn't attack.
“G, Grrr…….”
“Khem…….”
The demonic monsters pondered for a while, then soon instinctively lowered their bodies and performed a full prostration toward the human.
They recognized that the opponent was one who would become the master of the Demonic.
“……Easy.”
Jin Cheon smirked and couldn't hide a chuckle seeing the demonic monsters bowing to him.
Still, he expected some attack or resistance, but even Jin Cheon didn't expect they would succumb so easily.
‘It's a bit anticlimactic, but this isn't bad either.’
Thinking so, Jin Cheon wagged his finger toward the nearest demonic monster.
“You, come here.”
“Kyaak?”
“I said come. Or I'll hit you.”
As Jin Cheon raised his hand as if to hit and crumpled his face, the demonic monster flinched! and trembled.
“Hey, aren't you coming quickly?”
“K, Kyaak.”
The demonic monster approached Jin Cheon with a face full of fear, hesitatingly.
In front of the Heavenly Demon’s Physique who achieved the Heavenly Demon Divine Skill Demonic Emperor, the demonic monsters of the Demonic Ghost Cave were just slightly fierce and loyal dogs.
“Stay still.”
“Kyuk…….”
The demonic monster followed the order obediently without movement even though Jin Cheon placed his hand on its head.
‘I don't know if it will go well but…… even if you die, it can't be helped. Pray that your luck is good.’
Thinking so, Jin Cheon flowed demonic qi into that demonic monster’s head.
Then, operating the demonic qi according to the newly created mnemonic chant, he slammed it straight into its Upper Dantian, the Baihui acupoint.
“Kyuk!”
The demonic monster let out a single scream and trembled.
