Chapter 48 The Heaven and Earth Society (1)
What is the talent of a diviner?
There would be several qualifications.
Among those qualifications, a sense of spiritual energy is naturally included.
As a simple example, everyone has probably experienced the sudden appearance of goosebumps or chills at least once.
It could be a natural bodily phenomenon, but that is the basis of spiritual sensation.
When in contact with something spiritual, the soul within the body reacts, affecting the five senses.
However, ordinary people find it difficult to discern this.
This is because the boundary between the living and the dead is clear.
This could only be developed through innate spiritual talent or training.
However, among these talent requirements, there existed the ultimate talent that only a select few were born with.
โYou possess the eyes.โ
That is none other than vision
The eyes that can accurately see beyond the boundary, unlike other senses.
diviners regarded possessing the eyes that could distinguish this as the highest.
The middle-aged man with the eye patch, diviner Jo, saw Mok Gyeong-un precisely looking at the evil spirit before catching the walking stick he had thrown after attaching the Imperial Command Spell and infusing it with incantations.
โItโs certain.โ
The kid possessed the highest qualifications as a diviner.
Even he, who could barely perceive the form with the naked eye after training under the best master, didnโt possess the talent that this child from a martial arts family had.
โYouโฆโฆ.. can see vengeful spirits.โ
-Murmur murmur!
At his words, the surroundings stirred.
He can see vengeful spirits? What does that mean?
โVengeful spirits, does that refer to ghosts or evil spirits?โ
Manor Master Mok In-dan and the Mok family brothers frowned and looked at Mok Gyeong-un.
In fact, most of their reactions were similar.
โThis has become troublesome.โ
Mok Gyeong-un clicked his tongue inwardly.
He had acted on impulse, not wanting to lose the Demonic Monk, but it seemed to have complicated matters.
Should he have given up even if it was a waste?
However, it was too late for that now.
โA diviner?โ
It seemed to be the case.
Some of the spells he had chanted earlier were seen in books related to magical techniques left behind by Fang Assassin Sak.
They were typical techniques for exorcising evil spirits or the Two Demons and Two Spirits.
However, a part of the incantation was different.
If that was the case,
โHeโs from a different group than that woman Sak.โ
He seemed to belong to this organization called the Heaven and Earth Society.
At that moment, the middle-aged man with the eye patch, diviner Jo, said,
โSince when were you able to see vengeful spirits?โ
โPardon?โ
โYou can see vengeful spirits, canโt you?โ
โI donโt know what youโre talking about.โ
Seeing Mok Gyeong-unโs feigned ignorance, the middle-aged man with the eye patch, diviner Jo, raised one eyebrow in puzzlement.
Does that child want to hide his eyes?
However, if that were the case, he shouldnโt have intervened in the first place.
Diviner Jo scoffed and changed his question.
โInteresting. Fine, Iโll change the question. Why did you prevent the exorcism of the vengeful spirit?โ
โHmm. I have no idea what youโve been talking about since earlier.โ
Mok Gyeong-un feigned ignorance nonchalantly.
diviner Jo chuckled and then formed a hand seal, saying,
โYou donโt know? Then I suppose itโs fine if I exorcise that evil thing again.โ
-Pak! Pak! Pak!
Bฤซng (ๅ ต)! Dรฒu (้ฌช)! Liรจ (่ฃ)! Zhรจn (้ณ)!
It was the hand seals of the Nine Character Activating Method.
โDifferent.โ
Mok Gyeong-unโs eyes narrowed.
He had memorized all the books possessed by diviners Myo-sin, Sak, and others.
However, the hand seals he was forming were new to him.
Moreover, he was only forming hand seals without incantations, yet the spiritual energy in the surroundings was becoming strangely abundant.
-Tremble tremble!
However, it was not visible to others.
They only saw him bringing his hands together, bending and extending his fingers, overlapping them.
At that moment, diviner Jo formed a square by aiming with his index and middle fingers.
Then,
-Whoosh!
Four invisible pillars shot up from the surroundings.
The pillars precisely enclosed Mok Gyeong-un and the Demonic Monk, gradually thickening.
The middle-aged man with the eye patch, diviner Jo, muttered softly,
โFour Peaks Linking Technique[1].โ
As soon as he finished, walls formed from the four thickened pillars.
The Demonic Monk, unable to escape anywhere, looked around in bewilderment.
โShrink (็ธฎ)!โ
diviner Jo extended his palm towards the Demonic Monk and made a grasping gesture.
-Whoosh!
At that moment, the four walls enclosing the Demonic Monk began to compress and slowly shrink.
If they were to shrink completely, the Demonic Monk might be crushed.
Mok Gyeong-unโs eyes turned sharp.
This manโs level was clearly different from the diviners he had encountered so far.
He had never seen such a magical technique before.
โNo choice.โ
Since he didnโt know what kind of technique it was, there was only one way to break it.
Attack the caster, the diviner.
-Tap!
โTake it back.โ
Mok Gyeong-un gripped the walking stick like a spear and threw it towards diviner Jo, who was performing the magical technique.
-Swish!
If the caster is disrupted or killed midway, most magical techniques will unravel.
However, the masked individuals wouldnโt let this happen without interference.
-Clang!
One of the masked individuals near diviner Jo swiftly leaped forward and struck down the flying walking stick with the blade of his sword.
โYou impudent brat!โ
The masked individual tried to charge directly at Mok Gyeong-un, who had targeted diviner Jo.
However, diviner Jo stopped him.
โEnough!โ
โPardon?โ
โNo need for you to intervene.โ
โUnderstood.โ
The masked individual stopped the attack without any objection.
It was a group with a clear hierarchy of command and obedience.
diviner Jo said to Mok Gyeong-un,
โYou donโt seem to be possessed or bewitched, so if you explain why youโre trying to protect the vengeful spirit, I can pause the technique for now.โ
โHeโll have no choice but to surrender eventually.โ
In any case, the situation was in his favor.
Even if he had the eyes, without training, it was of no use.
Judging by that childโs appearance, he hadnโt received proper training as a diviner.
That much was evident at a glance.
Moreover, the Four Peaks Linking Technique was a high-level technique that required at least the Fang Yue level to perform, making it difficult to break with ordinary techniques.
However,
โ!?โ
diviner Joโs expression hardened as he looked at Mok Gyeong-un.
It was becauseโฆ
-Pak! Pak! Pak!
Mok Gyeong-un was forming the exact same hand seals that diviner Jo had just formed, without a single discrepancy.
Bฤซng (ๅ ต)! Dรฒu (้ฌช)! Liรจ (่ฃ)! Zhรจn (้ณ)!
โWhat?โ
It was the hand seals of the Nine Character Activating Method.
diviner Jo was dumbfounded by Mok Gyeong-unโs hand seals.
No matter how he looked at it, this child seemed to be an ordinary person with no knowledge of magical techniques.
Yet, he imitated the hand seals so accurately?
โWhat an absurd child.โ
Does he think he can stop it by imitating it?
If it were that easy, everyone would have done it.
โForming hand seals without incantations or talismans is only possible for those at the diviners level-Moon or aboveโฆ..โ
-Whoosh!
At that moment, diviner Jo doubted his own eyes.
Four small pillars, invisible to ordinary people, were formed.
The shape was blunt and quite crude, but it was unmistakable.
โHaโฆโฆ.โ
A soft exclamation escaped diviner Joโs mouth.
It was a level of magical technique achieved through long years of practice.
Yet, he imitated it after seeing it once and actually succeeded?
โโฆโฆCould it be that this fellow has learned magical techniques?โ
At that moment, Mok Gyeong-un muttered,
โFour Peaks Linking Technique (ๅๅณฐ่ฏ้่ก).โ
Then, walls connected the four pillars.
It was an unbelievable sight to behold.
However, what was even more surprising was the location where Mok Gyeong-un had performed the Four Peaks Linking Technique.
-Pak pak pak pak pak!
He had used the Four Peaks Linking Technique inside the Four Peaks Linking Technique that was being compressed by the Shrink (็ธฎ) command.
As a result, the compression of the Four Peaks Linking Technique stopped as it collided with the newly formed Four Peaks Linking Technique from within.
โThis fellowโฆโฆ Look at that.โ
Not only did he imitate the technique, but he also blocked it in this manner.
It demonstrated remarkable adaptability.
At this point, he couldnโt help but have doubts.
โWho taught you magical techniques?โ
โWhy would Iโฆโฆ need to learn such a thing?โ
It wasnโt a lie.
He hadnโt learned it from someone, but had self-studied it from books related to magical techniques.
-Tremble tremble!
Mok Gyeong-un shook his hands with the Nine Character Activating Methodโs hand seals in the Zhรจn (้ณ) state.
It was to block diviner Joโs shrinking Four Peaks Linking Technique.
Although he had somehow managed to block it with a quick response, the difference in mastery was undeniable.
Seeing this, diviner Joโs eyes took on a peculiar expression.
โDid he really not learn it?โ
The adaptability and the ability to immediately imitate and manifest the hand seals.
All of this was nearly impossible without an exceptional master.
Diviner Jo stared intently at Mok Gyeong-un, and thenโฆ
-Clap!
He released the hand seal and said,
โRelease (่งฃ).โ
With those words, the Four Peaks Linking Technique that had been compressing disappeared.
Mok Gyeong-un looked at him with puzzled eyes.
Diviner Jo burst into laughter.
โHahahahaha!โ
Why was he suddenly acting like this?
As he wondered, diviner Jo turned his head and said to the Bright Blade King Son Yun,
โBright Blade King. You may kill everyone else, but leave this child to me.โ
โ!?โ
Everyoneโs eyes widened.
He seemed to be a diviner of the Heaven and Earth Society, but he suddenly asked to hand over Mok Gyeong-un. What did this mean?
As they pondered, Son Yun clicked his tongue and said,
โYouโre doing something unnecessary again.โ
โI should have that much authority.โ
The Bright Blade King Son Yun shrugged his shoulders, indicating agreement.
He then raised his large Taoist sword, aimed it at the people of the Yeon Mok Sword Manor, and spoke in a menacing voice,
โI was going to leave if you had obediently handed over that thing, but now itโs over. You brought this upon yourselves, so regret it in the afterlife.โ
Son Yun thought so.
There was no need to sort out who had taken the secret manual one by one.
If he beat them all to death, someone would eventually speak up.
In any case, the secret manual was within the clan residence.
Son Yun shouted,
โKill them allโฆโฆโ
At that moment, someone interrupted and shouted,
โI have the secret manual that was wrapped in the prayer beads inside the wooden box.โ
It was none other than Mok Gyeong-un.
โHaโฆโฆโ
A sigh of relief escaped from Manor Master Mok In-dan, who had been tense, thinking that Son Yun might not keep his promise.
If they handed over the secret manual, they could overcome this situation.
At that moment, the Bright Blade King Son Yun approached Mok Gyeong-un with a terrifying aura and said,
โYou have it?โ
โYes.โ
โIf itโs another lie, regardless of diviner Joโs request, I will tear your limbs apart.โ
โWhy would I deny having it?โ
Son Yunโs eyes gleamed at Mok Gyeong-unโs fearless demeanor.
However, it was short-lived.
โThen hand it over. No, tell me where it is.โ
He asked for the location, as Mok Gyeong-un might play another trick.
However,
โI should probably apologize first.โ
โApologize? You, right nowโฆโฆโ
โYou seem to desperately want it, but I burned that secret manual.โ
โWhat?โ
At those words, the masked individuals erupted in anger instead.
That secret manual was a treasure of the Heaven and Earth Society.
Hearing that he had burned such a secret manual, it would have been stranger not to be angry.
However, Son Yun raised his hand slightly to restrain them and scoffed.
โHa!โฆโฆ. For a renowned martial arts family, youโve got nothing but scammers. Do you think that can be burned with fire?โ
What does he mean?
Both the masked individuals and the people of the Yeon Mok Sword Manor were puzzled.
Does he not believe the fact that the secret manual was burned with fire?
At that moment, Son Yun aimed his Taoist sword directly at Mok Gyeong-unโs neck.
-Pak!
โYou know nothing. Youโve never even seen the secret manual. You wasted my time, so as promisedโฆโฆโ
โDoes it sound like a lie?โ
Son Yun frowned fiercely and raised his Taoist sword.
โHow dare you, in front of this elderโฆโฆโ
โOnly the cover made of human skin doesnโt burn, but the inner pages with the contents burn well.โ
โ!?โ
At those words, Son Yunโs expression, which had been filled with anger just moments ago, changed.
The fact that the cover was made of human skin was known only to a few executives within the Heaven and Earth Society.
โYouโฆโฆ.โ
โAh! By the way, the contents inside are here.โ
Mok Gyeong-un tapped his head with his index finger.
Son Yunโs expression hardened.
โ!?โ
Was it because Mok Gyeong-un had not only burned their treasure but also memorized it?
As he was thinking that, Son Yun spoke in disbelief,
โYouโฆโฆ saw that?โ
