The Second Eunuch Regains His Manhood

116th Chapter: “Shout!” – Illustration

“If you ask me who I am, it’s only natural that I answer you.”

Flashes.

A golden light flared in Sinseung’s eyes.

Cheonan Tong.

Sinseung had reached the level of Hyeongyeong and tapped into the Upper Dantian to gain this spiritual ability.

It’s one of the six supernatural powers known as Yuksin Tong, obtained when reaching enlightenment in Buddhism, allowing one to see through the essence of all things.

A combination of clairvoyance and spiritual perception.

Right now, Sinseung must be looking at my spirit and soul with Cheonan Tong.

Of course, not just anyone can attain Cheonan Tong even if they are a master of Hyeongyeong. Only a high monk who has achieved Don-Oh through the Zen teachings of Buddhism can obtain it.

So, in the Martial World, Sinseung is the only one who can use Cheonan Tong.

What a pity, if I had Cheonan Tong… huff huff.

“I am the disciple of the Ancestor of the Honwon Sword Technique.”

“Shout! How dare you claim to be the successor of the Sword Master while carrying the energy of Reverse Heaven! Are you mocking me?!”

Sinseung’s lion’s roar echoed powerfully at my words.

The pure power of Buddhism swept through Dalma Cave.

A terrifying pressure constricted around me.

Cough!

A mouthful of blood spat out.

It was an earnest prayer released by a master of Hyeongyeong. My current body can hardly withstand it.

I had tried to resolve this peacefully with words.

Sinseung’s former nickname during his time as a master of Hwakyung was Hwalyeomra. Just as the name suggests, he was a fiery and hot-tempered man.

I thought he might’ve mellowed out since becoming Sinseung, but apparently not. He seems more blocked than I imagined. There’s no way to communicate with him.

“Will you not reveal your true identity?! If you’re not a servant of the Blood Sect, there’s no way you can harbor the energy of Reverse Heaven! If you endure any longer, I will punish you today!”

Boom!

Sinseung’s body rose into the air in a meditative posture. Surrounded by a brilliant golden glow like a Buddha, his right hand pointed downward while his left hand made the Magic-Resisting Touch Seal.

[Beginningless and Endless]

The mantra of the thought was engraved onto the world. With it, golden energy flashed, flipping the world upside down. The sight of Dalma Cave vanished in an instant. All that was left before my eyes was an endless pitch-black darkness.

Yet there was a road.

At the end of the winding path stood Sinseung.

His fiery gaze, crossed in meditation, turned toward me.

Beginningless and Endless.

Sinseung had achieved the completion of all seventy-two Zen techniques of Shaolin and reached the realm of Don-Oh, realizing the Mind’s Martial Arts.

As the leader of the Heavenly Alliance, his abilities were thoroughly specialized in Magic-Resisting.

The ma refers to the evil spirits that arise in the mind, obstructing the practitioner’s enlightenment. Thus, the Mind’s Martial Arts that draws the enemy into the mental realm or manifests the thoughts in reality to extinguish the ma with Magic-Resisting power was the Beginningless and Endless.

What Sinseung executed now was a form of the Mind’s Martial Arts, not taking the form of truth in the reality but drawing the opponent into the mental world.

After all, if he unleashed Beginningless and Endless in reality, Dalma Cave would surely collapse. There was no way Sinseung, who has devoted his life to Shaolin, would destroy its holy ground.

But that would be his flaw.

An infinite universe emerged over endless darkness.

Countless stars and nebulae sparkled in the deep blue space like an infinite number of them.

At the center of this beginningless and endless universe stood Sinseung.

“Seeing your true form, you truly have accepted the power of Reverse Heaven.”

The moment Sinseung’s words echoed through the world.

I felt a sudden emptiness in my lower body.

Wait? Empty.

Instinctively, I reached down.

There was a heavy presence missing. The grand thing I had worked hard to grow had disappeared. My attire had changed. It was now the garb of a eunuch, not the black uniform of the Gongdong Sect.

And beyond the eunuch attire, a sticky blood-like evil aura clung to my shadow.

That must be the energy of Reverse Heaven that Sinseung and the Honwon Sword Master mentioned.

It seems my original appearance as a spirit had revealed itself due to Sinseung’s Cheonan Tong.

Rage surged within me.

How could I have regained my second nature only to be forcibly reverted to a one-time eunuch form!

I couldn’t forgive that.

“Hohohoho, to make me take on such a form. I cannot let this go.”

A thin voice like that of a historical drama eunuch flowed from my mouth. It was horrific.

I activated Gyuhwabojeon. The power of Gyuhwabojeon, reaching its peak, responded to my thoughts and swirled around my whole body.

The air was charged with a feminine energy reminiscent of a Hanam man. I raised my right hand.

White energy coalesced at the tips of my fingers like starlight, forming pointed nails.

The energy of Nine Transformation Sound White Bird manifested in the mind’s world.

Though it might work in reality, pulling me into the mental world was Sinseung’s mistake. However, Sinseung, who had reached the boundaries of life and death, was certainly a master far above the previous me.

There would be no mercy. I had to give it my all.

The thought surged. Gyuhwabojeon reacted. The Mind’s Martial Arts unfolded.

[One Piece of Ice Heart]

The mantra of the thought was inscribed into the world, and a massive tree made of snowflakes sprouted behind me. A flower of shadow and cold energy blossomed.

The essence accumulated from my past life’s martial skills condensed into a single massive tree.

Snowflakes drifted and froze the universe of Beginningless and Endless. I raised my hand and tore apart the space before me.

Pachachachachacha!

With a spark, the space shattered as the fearfully frozen universe shards shot right toward Sinseung.

“Just like a servant of the Blood Sect, you had a hidden trick up your sleeve.”

But Sinseung remained composed.

“Yet, this level of trickery can’t stop me.”

Sinseung raised his index finger. The moment his golden-tinged finger snapped…

Flash!

Light burst forth, and the universe’s iceberg created by One Piece of Ice Heart instantly melted away into powder and vanished.

Divine Skill of Finger Snap.

The technique from Shaolin that pierces rocks through a finger snap manifested here, destroying the cold energy of One Piece of Ice Heart. Flash! Once more, the golden light shone brightly.

Gooooo!

A formidable power whirled around, manifesting eight golden figures beside Sinseung, four on each side.

A golden lotus seat arose beneath the meditating legs of Sinseung.

Nine Petal Lotus.

The apex of Supreme Absorption Technique, attained by the pinnacle of Shaolin’s teachings, manifested.

The nine distinct forms, born from the nine petal lotuses of Paradise, split Sinseung’s body, as he unleashed nine techniques simultaneously.

Golden energy imbued with Magic-Resisting surged like a meteor through the universe of Beginningless and Endless directed straight at me.

“Shout!”

As Sinseung’s lion’s roar accompanied the onslaught of nine streams of energy, I raised my hands, where the claws of energy had grown. The snowflakes that had emanated from the icy tree once again froze the surrounding space.

Shadow Ice Annihilation.

White energy extended from my ten fingers, freezing the space in conjunction with the frost and endlessly splitting apart. Like invisible claws, the endlessly divided cold energy poured down towards the energy of the Nine Petal Lotus.

The final move of Nine Transformation Sound White Bird, Shadow Ice Annihilation, collided with the energy of the Nine Petal Lotus.

Bang!

With the clash of powers, the energy rippled through the universe of Beginningless and Endless.

“Cough!”

Blood spilled from my mouth. In this exchange, I was the defeated party. The golden waves of energy from the Nine Petal Lotus, imbued with Magic-Resisting power, surged toward my crown, obliterating the entire Gyuhwabojeon cold energy.

It was only natural. Sinseung was stronger than I had been in my past life, facing the wall of life and death, an absolute master.

Reaching Hyeongyeong, while I had given up on cultivating martial arts due to the lack of a second nature, he was on another level altogether.

“Hohohoho, what the…”

The waves of golden energy filled my vision. At this rate, I would die. My spirit would shatter.

In the mental realm, those who lose end up becoming disembodied spirits.

I could not stop it.

Yet I had to. It couldn’t end like this. Not yet…

“I haven’t even tried sex yet…!! You hot-headed monk…!”

I hadn’t even used the beautiful prowess I regained through Kegel Exercise, Jerk Exercise, and resourceful training yet!

Not to mention, I hadn’t even captured a single companion yet! Dying like this was too unjust!

Just as I was about to lift my arm in desperation…

Flashes.

In an instant, a vision appeared before me.

[This is Honwon Mugukdo, the ultimate martial art of the Gongdong Sect that unfolds the mysteries of Yin-Yang Reversal in the great universe.]

That was…

The appearance of the Honwon Mugukdo that the Honwon Sword Master had once shown me in Honwon Bidong.

With it, an unknown principle sparked in my mind.

I already memorized the principle of Ihap Sin-gong. But this was…

Could it be?

‘Did the Honwon Sword Master stuff this into my head?’

Thinking back, it was strange.

The secret techniques Left by the Honwon Sword Master could not simply be limited to Ihap Sin-gong. Although it is the ultimate martial art of the Gongdong Sect and the exclusive martial art of the Honwon Sword Master, before the Gongdong Blood Temple, there was still the manuscript of Ihap Sin-gong left intact.

Had it not been for the Gongdong Blood Temple, Ihap Sin-gong would have undoubtedly continued to be taught only to the clan leader and their disciples.

So, the secret of Ihap Sin-gong would surely have been valuable, but it wouldn’t be something left behind for the disciple.

The true pinnacle technique of the Honwon Sword Master must have existed separately, and he had embedded the principles of his exclusive techniques into my subconscious.

‘It wasn’t simply that mastering Ihap Sin-gong would allow one to reach here.’

To face the threat of the Blood Sect and protect his disciple, the Honwon Sword Master concealed his genuine progress. Deep within the folds of my mind.

At the moment of my realization…

[“Have you finally understood? It’s exasperating. What a fool to have become my disciple.”]

A familiar voice echoed in my head.

It was the Honwon Sword Master.

Hissss.

In the next moment, his image materialized beside me, clad in black martial attire—a muscular middle-aged man. It was a remnant thought of the Honwon Sword Master.

“Honwon Sword Master?!”

Sinseung’s expression shifted in surprise at the sight of the Honwon Sword Master. His concentration faltered, and the golden waves began to waver as well.

[“What an incompetent disciple. Watch carefully and remember well.”]

The words of the Honwon Sword Master resonated in my mind.

In that instant, his form merged with mine. As the principles of Honwon Mugukdo rang in my head, the Yang energy from Minor Yang Heart Method and Yin energy from Gyuhwabojeon began to surge together.

As explosive Yin-Yang energy swirled through my body, Primordial Unity Technique activated, controlling the Yin-Yang energies.

[This is the path you must take in this life.]

The Honwon Sword Master’s words echoed one last time.

In my right hand, white Yang energy coalesced, while black Yin energy formed in my left. My right hand pointed to the sky, while my left pointed to the ground, flipping to draw the Reverse Taiji.

And with that…

The heavens and the earth turned upside down. The direction of power reversed. The control over the golden energy was now in my hands. The moment I saw the surprised expression on Sinseung’s face, I understood what I had to do. I closed my eyes. The moment my consciousness seized the universe of Beginningless and Endless.

I spread the Magic-Resisting energy that came under my control throughout the entire space, shattering the universe built by Sinseung’s Mind’s Martial Arts.

The vision of the mini-universe shifted the principles of the vast universe. The laws of all things fell out of sync. At that moment, when the world crumbled…

Flashes.

With a burst of light, my vision returned to its original state.

The dim Dalma Cave flickered with candlelight, and the statue of the Great Master Dalma appeared.

I saw the unpleasant-looking teapot filled with bitter green tea, and an empty teacup.

And there, sitting across from me with his eyes closed, was Sinseung.

I pinched my cheek.

I felt pain. Next, I reached into my pants.

The grand thing was intact.

Upon confirming my possession, I finally felt relieved.

I had indeed returned to reality.

I had shattered the Mind’s Martial Arts using the power of Honwon Mugukdo.

The moment a smile crept onto my lips…

Cough!

Sinseung, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, coughed up blood.

It was the backlash from the forced breaking of the Mind’s Martial Arts.

His eyes fluttered open, revealing the golden light that swirled and vanished.

“Hoo…”

Sinseung took a deep breath, seemingly recovering from his internal injuries.

I examined my body. I had no injuries. It seemed the Honwon Sword Master was to thank for that. I sensed nothing of his thought that had lingered in the realm of my subconscious. The sensation of Honwon Mugukdo, that he had shown me, felt distant like a dream now.

Most likely…

What he had shown me was the realm of life and death.

But one thing was certain.

The principles of Honwon Mugukdo left by the Honwon Sword Master had been inscribed in my mind distinctly—I would never forget it.

I closed and opened my eyes. Honwon Mugukdo was Honwon Mugukdo.

“Now then.”

Tap.

I clapped my hands. Sinseung looked at me.

“Amitabha.”

He recited a prayer in response.

“You saw that too, right? Our ancestor! I had a meal and bathed with the Honwon Sword Master! We are like that! So, if you went around accusing me of being a servant of the Blood Sect, at least you should offer some compensation, Sinseung.”

So…

Wouldn’t it be great if we could just resolve this nicely?

Let’s begin by extracting the Grand Rejuvenation Pill just a little bit.
