Invincible with Twin Swords

Chapter 30 : That's Enough

Heavenly Conduit Sect, Yunnan Branch.

Do Gicheol, who was in charge of the Heavenly Conduit Sect's Yunnan branch, was now pressing both his temples with his left hand and frowning.

In his right hand, he held a thick report.

The person who wrote this unbelievable report was Mak Bulchu, one of the few Heaven-level information agents of Heavenly Conduit Sect.

His investigations are always certain. No matter how unbelievable the information is, if he is involved, it must be believed.

But this report was utterly unbelievable.

"The Demonic Cult?"

"It's not certain, but that is my judgment."

Mak Bulchu, who was sitting opposite him, said with his arms crossed.

Today, a large dot was drawn on his left cheek.

It was absurd for a mere information agent to report with his arms crossed, but he was a person who could do so.

Even in front of the Heavenly Conduit Sect leader, not Do Gicheol, no one would stop him.

It's understandable that a few descendants of the Demonic Cult, which had disappeared long ago, remained somewhere in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. Because it was close to impossible to completely uproot any force.

But the content of the report was not just that.

If this content is correct, doesn't it mean that they have already entered the Central Plains and are moving?

"Moreover, the Forest of Swords?"

Every martial artist in the Central Plains knows about it, but two names that no one believes actually exist appeared together in one report.

The Demonic Cult and the Forest of Swords!

What on earth is this person named Jin Danyeong, who is involved in both of these absurd names?

"It's absurd! The Forest of Swords is not a real place. And who is this newly appeared person named Na Yeryeong?"

"She is a woman who runs a fortune-telling house in Yunnan, and it seems she is a blood relative of the Soul-Taking Divine Woman, Gam Nanhyang."

The Soul-Taking Divine Woman, Gam Nanhyang?

A chill ran down Do Gicheol's entire body.

Why does the name of this big shot appear here?

Something huge is happening.

Something that even Heavenly Conduit Sect, which observes all the information of the Central Plains before anyone else, does not know.

"What kind of person is this Jin Danyeong? Is he the center of it?"

"It seemed that Wang Parip, Han Deoksam, and Na Yeryeong, the granddaughter of the Soul-Taking Divine Woman, were all following him."

"Was he that great of a person? What is his skill level?"

"You will have to put him on the List of Nameless Martial Artists."

"The List of Nameless Martial Artists?"

The List of Nameless Martial Artists is a ranking list of martial artists separately managed by Heavenly Conduit Sect.

Among the martial artists belonging to the righteous faction, a hundred people are selected and recorded based solely on the level of their martial arts, without considering their origin, age, background, or affiliation.

Of course, depending on the criteria, the number could be one hundred and eight or ninety-three.

Naturally, the names of the Sword Emperor and the Saber Emperor were always written side by side at the very top.

It is a great thing to be on the List of Nameless Martial Artists at a young age.

Even among the Nine Dragons, who are evaluated to lead the future of the Central Plains, only two have their names on the List of Nameless Martial Artists.

And that too, at the very bottom.

"The List of Nameless Martial Artists? Peng Tianwei of the Hebei Peng family, who vies for the top spot among the Nine Dragons, is only ranked ninety-eighth. Are you saying that this person named Jin Danyeong is stronger than Peng Tianwei?"

Do Gicheol said, opening the List of Nameless Martial Artists and pointing at Peng Tianwei's name located at the very bottom.

"It has nothing to do with Peng Tianwei's ranking."

Mak Bulchu gently grabbed Do Gicheol's finger and pulled it up to the top of the List of Nameless Martial Artists.

The finger continued to go up.

Do Gicheol's face turned pale.

"This far? No, even further from here?"

Finally, Mak Bulchu's hand, which was pulling up the finger, stopped.

"It will probably be around here."

Do Gicheol's finger was placed around the thirtieth name on the List of Nameless Martial Artists.

Do Gicheol's finger was trembling.

But Mak Bulchu's evaluation is always accurate.

There are many geniuses who are born with outstanding martial talent.

But talent alone is not enough.

Only after endless training in addition to talent can one's name be put on the List of Nameless Martial Artists.

Moreover, the thirtieth place.

It takes a long time to put one's name on the top of the List of Nameless Martial Artists.

Martial arts cannot be achieved in a short period of time with just talent or a fortuitous encounter.

Didn't even the great Sword Emperor put his name on the top of the List of Nameless Martial Artists only after he passed the age of forty?

Mak Bulchu added.

"Perhaps... this is also a stingy evaluation!"

Do Gicheol stood up abruptly from his seat and shouted towards the outside of the door.

"Send a message to the main sect immediately! That I must see the sect leader!"

This matter must be reported directly to the sect leader.

As he was about to leave in a hurry, Mak Bulchu grabbed him with a troubled expression.

"...There is one more thing to report."

"What else? Is there still something left to surprise me?"

"Jin Danyeong told me when we parted ways at the end."

"What did he say?"

"He said let's meet again... that he would remember..."

Mak Bulchu has never had his identity revealed for decades.

Around this time last year, it was Mak Bulchu who inspected the Martial Alliance at the request of the alliance leader.

Even the alliance leader who had directly requested it could not see through his identity.

But this Jin Danyeong recognized Mak Bulchu?

What on earth is his identity?

Do Gicheol's hand trembled.

This matter has already exceeded the level that a mere branch can handle.

* * *

The Forest of Swords.

"So, to summarize what you said, Divine Woman, two of the four revelations have already been sent down, but you don't know what the content is?"

This is an important matter.

I had expected that only one revelation, not four, would be sent down.

So I was expecting it based on the time when the Heavenly Demon first appeared. That there was still a lot of time left for the revelation to be sent down.

Depending on the content of the revelation that has already been sent down, the Demonic Cult may have already identified who the Heavenly Demon is.

It may be that I don't have much time left.

The Soul-Taking Divine Woman took out an old tube from her bosom. It was small enough to be held in one hand, and it rattled as if something was inside.

"This is the Divine Calculation Tube I have used for decades."

A Divine Calculation Tube is a tool used to tell fortunes using the power of sorcery. It is done by shaking the tube and then picking one of the several calculation sticks inside, but the Soul-Taking Divine Woman's Divine Calculation Tube uniquely contained only one round, dice-shaped divine spirit tool instead of calculation sticks.

She gently closed her eyes, muttered something, and lightly shook the Divine Calculation Tube, then placed it on the table. Inside, the divine spirit tool was rotating with a rattling sound.

After a moment, a faint light began to come out from the Divine Calculation Tube, and the speed at which the divine spirit tool was rotating became faster and faster.

"With the result of the divine spirit tool, you can glimpse what cannot be seen."

Na Yeryeong, who was standing by the Soul-Taking Divine Woman's side, explained in a small voice.

But contrary to Na Yeryeong's explanation, the light of the Divine Calculation Tube began to fade little by little. The rotating divine spirit tool quietly stopped.

The Soul-Taking Divine Woman opened her eyes and said.

"I have tried several times, but it is insufficient to glimpse the revelation."

Seeing my disappointed expression, Na Yeryeong gave a detailed explanation.

"It's not that my grandmother's divine power is insufficient. It's that the vessel of the tool is too small to contain the Demonic Cult's revelation."

The Divine Calculation Tube, which was losing its light on the table, was a tool that the Soul-Taking Divine Woman had used for a long time. She had never felt that the vessel was insufficient until now, but it seemed that the Demonic Cult's revelation required a larger vessel.

Right now, I am like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It is close to impossible to find out all the revelations sent down to the four families of the Demonic Cult and find the Heavenly Demon before the Demonic Cult.

"I will ask two things."

If I can get accurate information with the Soul-Taking Divine Woman's foresight, there is no better way than this.

"This is the first question. Is there a Divine Calculation Tube with a larger vessel that can contain the revelation?"

"There is not!"

Then the second question is meaningless.

I have to go a difficult way.

"But it can be made!"

My eyes lit up.

"There are three things needed! One is the cold wood that will be the frame of the vessel. Fortunately, this material is here in the Forest of Swords."

She is talking about the Cold Wood Divine Sword.

"Of course, it is a priority that you pull out that sword."

"I will pull it out. What are the other materials?"

"The second is the Golden-Armored Divine Turtle. We will carve its shell to make the divine spirit tool!"

The Golden-Armored Divine Turtle is a small turtle with a golden shell.

It is a rare spiritual beast that is said to only stay in the Extreme Heat Heavenly Pond.

I can't search the entire Central Plains to catch this guy now, but there was a memory that came to mind.

If I'm lucky, I will be able to get it.

"What is the last third material?"

"The third thing needed is not a material. It's a person!"

According to the Soul-Taking Divine Woman's explanation, even if the materials are prepared, there is only one person in the Central Plains who can make a Divine Calculation Tube of this level.

"Who is he?"

"Who he is is not important. Where he is now is important."

"You don't know where he is?"

"No! I know."

"When the materials are ready, I will bring him right away. Where is that place?"

"He is in the Martial Alliance right now!"

The Martial Alliance!

It's a place I don't want to go to again.

When the Demonic Cult emerged, the alliance that should have stood at the opposite end did not play any role.

It is the place that sold out the Azure Blade Unit, which had at least held on to the Demonic Cult's ankle. Of course, the alliance leader who betrayed us is not the current alliance leader.

The Martial Alliance is a place that is rotten with their own lust for power.

I don't want to get entangled with the alliance, but now, to achieve my purpose, I have to enter even the main base of the Demonic Cult.

"His situation is not very good right now. Perhaps bringing him here will be more difficult than the other two things."

I have to pull out the Cold Wood Divine Sword, which no one has been able to pull out, and get the shell of the Golden-Armored Divine Turtle. And I have to bring a person who is in the Martial Alliance.

It's close to impossible, but I will achieve it.

Depending on the answer to the second question.

"Now I will ask the second question. If I can prepare everything and make a new Divine Calculation Tube..."

Although she gave me a task that is close to impossible, I will talk about the next step.

"How much can you see, Soul-Taking Divine Woman?"

The Soul-Taking Divine Woman's two pupils trembled.

She couldn't answer for a long time.

I waited without saying anything.

"I can't guarantee that you will get everything you want. But you will be able to get a clue."

"That's enough."

"Even if we make a new Divine Calculation Tube, the limit to examining the revelation will be about twice. And of course, we cannot know the revelation that has not yet been sent down."

It is greedy to want the path to the exit in a darkness where nothing can be seen.

If I can know two of the four revelations, that alone is a great thing.

What I need is a thin ray of light.

It is my share to follow that light.

"And! Take this child with you!"

"Me? Why?"

Na Yeryeong asked, startled.

She probably thought that her role was over after bringing me here. I did too.

"There is a place for you on this path."

"Grandmother!"

"I have seen it!"

The Soul-Taking Divine Woman is saying that she has seen Na Yeryeong's place on the path I have to go.

Na Yeryeong is also a sorceress. Who cannot refuse a fixed path.

Na Yeryeong couldn't say anything.

She was just biting her lower lip with a look of despair.

I also didn't say anything.

If the Soul-Taking Divine Woman says so, there will be a moment when she is needed.

I returned to my quarters.

Parip hyungnim looked at me with a curious expression.

The impatient Deoksam was already holding his axe.

"Where is the Heavenly Demon? Let's go and smash that bastard's head!"

"Deoksam! Did you shave?"

Deoksam had neatly shaved off his bushy beard and had become a cute baby bear.

"I shaved it for him. Thanks to that, the blade of my sword is all gone."

"On our way, I'll get you a good sword, hyungnim, so don't worry."

There is a sword that would suit Parip hyungnim where we are going.

"So where are we going now?"

Deoksam asked, stroking the area around his chin, as if it felt empty because his beard was gone.

"The Black Market! We're going to the Black Market!"
