Becoming the Swordmaster Rank Young Lord of the Sichuan Tang Family Chapter 1

Prologue

Shoot⎯

A dark alley in a huge manor.

There was a boy stretched out in the heavy rain.

The boy was breathing softly and had swollen cheeks and chapped lips.

He looked like he had been beaten by someone.

“ah. “I remembered.”

Suddenly the boy muttered.

It was at the same time that a mysterious light burst out from under the bruised eyelids.

Past life⎯

I don’t remember the name.

Only a few fragmentary facts come to mind.

For over a hundred years, he lived in the mountains wielding only a sword.

The only person who could be said to be in a relationship was Master. She was also crazy about swords. Sword Demon (劍鬼).

‘Look at the tip of the sword instead of the main position.’

Even as he fulfilled his heavenly duty, his master forced him to live the life of a sword-crazed ghost. Of course, he had no choice but to walk the path of a sword demon even without such pressure. The sword was something so fascinating that the end was unknown.

How many lines have I drawn since then to realize the ultimate meaning of the sword?

Finally.

At the end of my life, I finally came to an enlightenment that could be called the Five Truths.

Geomro (劍路)

Something that runs through everything he has built up throughout his life.

It was the moment when the Sword Demon transformed into the Sword God.

A tremendous sense of accomplishment.

The satisfaction of seeing the end of the sword.

However, what came immediately after the extreme ecstasy was extreme emptiness.

When I realized that death was just around the corner, I felt regret.

‘In the end, I didn’t live a proper life. It wasn’t a person. It was a sword demon. If I were given life again….’

Why did Geomjit devote so much of his life to this?

‘…I’d rather live a normal life.’

That was my last thought.

Should I call it pre-thought awakening?

Something hard to believe happened in the boy’s body. It was worthy of being called an article.

“after.”

The boy let out a long sigh and closed his eyes tightly. The bright eye glow disappears in an instant.

The phrase “refute, return to truth” comes to mind. It means covering the extraordinary with the ordinary.

Now no one will guess what happened to the boy.

Who could imagine?

The soul of a sword demon, or rather sword spirit, who wants to live a normal life resides in the body of a boy who appears to have just turned twelve.

The Sword God who opened his eyes again, no, the boy⎯

Natural name (唐延命)

The place where he lay was the Four Rivers House.

Episode 1

Murim is ruined!

This was something that grassroots people openly talked about on the streets.

This did not mean that the era in which the martial arts warriors, who had learned strange breathing techniques and practiced martial arts, were roaming around was coming to an end. So, all I was saying was that the existing martial order had completely collapsed.

The martial arts world represented by the nine factions and the five generations⎯ is now a thing of the past.

There were now six deep-rooted sects of nine deep-rooted schools that cultivated mind and body through noble martial arts in the mountains… Shaolin, Hwasan, Shaman, Kunlun, Gonggong, and Jongnam. The Nine Schools suddenly became the Six Schools.

The Five Generations were just that.

It’s just that the aspect has changed. The only ones who maintained the reputation of the old five generations were the Nangong family of Anhui and the Peng family of Hebei. The other three can no longer be called Sega.

Zhuge family of Hubei

The Moyong family in Liaoning

And the Tang family of Sichuan….

They were in a situation where they had to worry about their family’s legacy being cut off. The main masters all died out, so the key points of Gajeon martial arts were not properly transmitted.

A military family is ultimately evaluated by its military power. Their old glory no longer protected them. The wealth that had been accumulating to the point where the warehouse would burst even if left standing was now gone everywhere, and the gasols who used to wear clothes made of cast and hem were not able to wear clothes made of coarse cotton cloth, and when they got worn out, they wore them patched, and when they became worn out, they wore them patched again.

Did you say that even if a rich person goes bankrupt, it lasts for three generations?

It seemed that this did not apply to the Murim family. The fall came very quickly. The Zhuge family and Mo Yong family, who wanted to restore their past glory, dreamed of reviving the family by investing all of their remaining family wealth, but it was a pointless attempt.

That was the case with being uneducated. It was the core essence that was passed down only by word of mouth, refined and refined through many years of trial and error and by people with tremendous qualifications. That had been put into practice, so no matter how much I ate the elixir as if it were a meal and trained with utmost care, it was a long way to regain my former strength and strength.

In the end, it was as if all the family wealth was squandered.

At least Dangga, who had once been the master of poison and memorization, was in a slightly better position. This is because they collected poisonous substances rather than herbal medicine, and made their own memoria. In addition, thanks to the pharmaceutical sciences that developed naturally while researching poisons, he earned a lot of money by acting as a doctor.

Of course, the progress of their downfall was slow, but their reputation as a samurai family was gradually fading away.

Anyway, the reason why Jeongdo Murim ended up like this was because of the appearance of two unscrupulous characters…

In Sado (邪道), Yoo Gil-jun, the black snake master!

In the magic world, Demon Lord Ye Yeon-hyeok!

Two uneducated geniuses emerged in one era.

One each for Apostle and Mage.

For Jeongdo Murim, it was nothing short of a disaster.

Yoo Gil-jun, a Sacheon-born black sander, came from a back-alley gang called Heuksapa. At the time, the leader of the Heuksa faction recognized young Yu Gil-jun’s talent and taught him some crude martial arts and gave him cheap elixirs. To an ordinary person, it would have been just a small, insignificant relationship.

However, for Yoo Gil-jun, who was born with the qualities of a great master, it served as a great opportunity. He instantly saw the loopholes in the crude martial arts taught by the leader of the Black Death Sect, changed them into better martial arts, and created a new martial arts based on that. The martial arts that were invented at that time were the seasons that those who devoted themselves to the Heuksaryeon wanted to learn.

What about the cheap elixir? Originally, it was normal for a handful of true energy to accumulate. However, Yu Gil-jun ends up succeeding in Daejucheon with just a handful of magic. As soon as I felt the excitement, I instinctively realized which direction to lead.

The more you breathe, the stronger it becomes. These were not empty words. Yoo Gil-jun became stronger at an unprecedented rate.

Then an incident occurred.

A Taoist monk from the Cheongseong Sect who was passing by got into a fight with the leader of the Black Sect and killed him. The young Taoist master, who had only practiced in the mountains and did not know the extent of his skills, overexerted his skills. Next to him were the figures of Amipa and Jeomchangpa. They consoled the Taoist monk of the Qingcheng faction, saying that it was retribution, and then left.

Yu Gil-jun, who was an orphan, belonged to the Heuksapa family. The boss was his benefactor who made him realize the world of martial arts. No matter how much talent and level you have,

⎯Favor is doubled, resentment is tenfold.

He was the head of the Dang family, which was renowned as the best family in Sacheon at the time. Yu Gil-jun believed that any human being should do that. From that day on, he made Qingcheng his enemy. From then on, Yoo Gil-jun decided to become stronger not for fun but to avenge his grudge.

Exactly five years later.

Cheongseong was destroyed by Yu Gil-jun. Those who followed him all possessed a strong sense of inaction, but what was surprising was that they were the very people of the Black Death Sect. Those who were nothing more than back-alley thugs now have the skills to compete with the elders of the Qingcheng faction.

Yu Gil-jun, who destroyed the Cheongseong faction and took over the position, broke up the Heuksaryeon and ascended to the position of leader himself. As if by some means, all the figures of the Black Saskatchewan faction also possessed a strong sense of inaction and sat in important positions in the Black Sassyeon.

Ami and Jeomchang, who had a close relationship with Cheongseong, could not stay still. The two factions decided to unite under the banner of Cheoksa (斥邪) to attack Heuksaryeon, but they ended up being defeated by Yu Gil-jun. The story of two scholars joining forces but being helplessly pushed aside by Yu Gil-jun has become very famous among the private sector.

In that battle, Ami and Jeomchang lost their main disciples, including Jang Mun-in. And there was no way Yu Gil-jun, who was attacked, could stay still. He led the Heuksaryeon and exterminated Ami and Jeomchang one by one. According to the legend, not a single pillar root remains intact.

The Sichuan martial arts forest was in complete chaos.

How could that not be the case? The lineage of three of the old sects that had existed for hundreds of years was completely cut off. And that too by just a new sect. It couldn’t have been anything other than a shocking experience.

There were various things that happened after that, but that was roughly the extent of the major incidents. Currently, when it comes to the most important person in Sacheon, everyone points to Heuksaleonju Yoo Gil-jun.

Next, let’s talk about Ma Gwang-cheonju Yeon Yeon-hyeok.

Unlike Yoo Gil-jun, Nae-yeonhyeok was the eldest son of the Demon Island. Born as a minor cult leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, he excelled in martial arts from an early age.

The body of heaven and earth

This is because they are born with an incredible quality of nothingness that only appears once in hundreds of years. As the saying goes, the body of martial arts was given by heaven, his body embodied the principles of martial arts as if it were natural.

If you learn it, you will achieve great success!

There was no need for understanding. Because the body moved according to its own natural instructions. That’s what the Cheonmujiche was originally like. It was an incomprehensible existence. If you have the time to build up deep inner strength and have powerful martial arts skills, you can rise to the position of the best person in the world.

And Nae Yeon-hyeok was the minor leader of the Heavenly Demon Church.

A position where you can master all kinds of magical arts.

The speed at which he became stronger was incredible. The phrase “Second Coming of Heaven” could be heard here and there. By the time he reached an agreement, even his father, the religious leader, was afraid of him and stayed away from him. He couldn’t throw it away. In the Church of the Heavenly Demon, there are already more people who follow Yeon Yeon-hyeok, the minor religious leader, than the religious leader.

It was a situation where Yeon Yeon-hyeok could become the leader of the religious sect whenever he wanted to.

However, Nae Yeon-hyeok was a filial person. My father alone felt terrible. Even if the father is afraid of himself. In the end, after much deliberation, Nae Yeon-hyeok leads his followers and leaves the Heavenly Demon Church. Because he had become so powerful, he made this decision after realizing that his very existence was the seed of conflict in the church.

The demon sect that broke away and opened a new sect is called Demon Gwangcheon.

He was twenty-three at the time. He is too young to claim to be the leader of the clan. However, if you look at the faces of those who call themselves disciples, it is difficult for anyone to ignore them. That’s because they were once warlike and skilled warriors who were considered the worst in the Heavenly Demon Church. Those who followed Yeon Yeon-hyeok, saying that he would be the true Heavenly Demon.

Naturally, at first, no one wanted to have a conflict with Ma Gwang-cheon.

However, Nae Yeon-hyeok had one eccentricity.

That is, coveting members of prestigious families.

Simply having a beautiful face was not enough. The type of woman he wanted was someone who had a certain noble elegance and talents that are not easily seen, but who was not obedient. Is it because she was born with a gift of genius and easily achieved high levels of inaction? Nae Yeon-hyeok wanted flowers that would not be easily broken. He seemed to take pleasure in not getting his way.

And most of the women who fit the characteristics that Nae Yeon-hyeok wanted were Geumjin Ok-yeop from the Murim family.

Nae Yeon-hyeok sent hawks to nearby factions one after another. I would like to have your daughter as a pet.

The lords of weak factions easily submitted to Ma Gwang-cheon. He gave his only daughter to Jeon Yeon-hyeok. It was an inevitable choice to avoid extinction. Even if Yeon Yeon-hyeok did not step forward, there was a cloud of subordinates who regarded his words as heavenly.

Nae Yeon-hyeok easily lost interest in a flower he had once picked. After getting married and spending the night, he didn’t even bother to look at her. The women who had married Nae Yeon-hyeok, as well as their families, could not help but tremble at the feeling of extreme humiliation.

Meanwhile.

After continuing his travels for a while, Yeon Yeon-hyeok eventually reached out to the Five Great Families, and the first place he came into contact with was the Zhuge Family in Hubei. He sent a hawk, saying he wanted to have Zhuge Suran, which was famous as the best food in Hubei, as a pet.

There was no way the Jegal family was unaware of Yeon Yeon-hyeok’s antics. Jegal Se-ju was so angry that he tore Yeon Yeon-hyeok’s letter into pieces on the spot and personally cut off the hawk’s head. Although they were angry, it was an act based on the calculation that they would not be able to do anything about themselves, who were located in the middle of the territory of Jeongdo Murim. If you’re going to come, come and see.

And when Ma Gwang-cheon’s disciples heard about this, they were furious. They say that someone like Zhuge Ga has undermined the authority of the one who will cover the sky with demons. Just like that, Zhuge Liang and Ma Guangtian collided. It was an all-out war.

The results were disastrous.

Zhuge Sega was unable to withstand Yeon Yeon-hyeok’s small number of magic attacks and was killed by having his head pulled out, and Jegal Sega, which was filled with all kinds of fighting techniques, was destroyed by hundreds of demons. Many of his subordinates also lost their lives, but Zhuge Suran was able to save the lives of the rest by voluntarily saying that he would support Hyuk throughout the year.

After that, Nae Yeon-hyuk held a grand wedding ceremony with Zhuge Suran, and soon lost interest in Zhuge Suran, just like Yeojik. Even when Zhuge Shuran committed suicide out of bitterness and injustice, he did not show much emotion.

This is how the Zhuge family fell.

Meanwhile, from this point on, Yeon Yeon-hyeok’s inaction began to become known to the public, and this was because there were so many people who witnessed the death of Jegal Se-ju. No matter how much less powerful the Zhuge Dynasty was than the other Five Dynasties, the sight of him single-handedly putting an end to someone who was considered to be at the pinnacle of martial arts was truly shocking.

Yeon Yeon-hyeok did not stop.

One time, I went to Liaoning alone, and when I saw the women of the Mo Yong family who were out on an outing at that time, I was struck by my eccentricity again. Nae Yeon-hyeok, who was tired of sending hawks, simply visited the Moyong family that day, which resulted in the Moyong family suffering damage that was close to extinction.

It is said that a similar incident occurred at the Namgung family in Anhui, but the sword king Namgung Jangcheon, known as the best sword in the world, was able to stop it.

In the Hebeuk Paeng family, where the temperament itself was magnificent and the women were strong-willed, there was no woman that appealed to Yeon Yeon-hyeok.

After a fierce battle with Ma Gwang-cheon using poison and memorization, Sacheon Dangga was able to refuse to give up the poison bong (毒鳳) Dang Ji-hye. No, in fact, it was largely thanks to the Black Death that it did not escalate into an all-out war. Because Sacheon was the territory of the Black Snake. There was also a reason why Nae Yeon-hyeok did not come forward in person.

No matter how selfish Nae Yeon-hyeok was, he might have been reluctant to offend Yu Gil-jun, who had already brought down three of the old factions.

Even so, the party’s power loss was significant. The poison-addicted masters of Ma Gwang-cheon rushed forward, disregarding death. Donggui portraits took place all over the place. Most of the key figures, including the leader of the Tang family, were dead. This happened without any room to leave aside the key points that were passed down orally.

The party also has no choice but to slowly walk down the path of decline.

Anyway.

The boy who awakened from his past life, the martial artist who was destined to live his life, was in this situation about ten years later.
