Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation

“Heavenly Events Order Captain…”

Seo Saeng moved into the forest while thinking about the new mission.

The residence of the warriors was located in the outermost region of the Hidden Truth Corp’s area. In addition to that, there were well established boundaries on the way which meant there would be constant questioning as a person traveled along.

Entering the place, one of the men bowed his head.

“Where is the captain?”

“In his room on the second floor.”

“I see. From today, I will be in charge of training. Please get him.”

“Yes.”

And the servant went up to the second floor.

But then after a while, he came down with a flustered face, alone without the captain.

“Why did you come back alone?”

“That… you were asked to come up yourself.”

“What? Huh…”

Seo Saeng was shocked at this.

Even if he was the captain of a new team, it was the first time they were meeting each other. On such a day he was going to make such a bold request?

He was puzzled as he moved up to the room. The look on his face was different from when he got there.

“Ahem. Are you here?”

When there was no answer, he stayed in front of the door for a moment before opening it up.

Drip

And a man was there in the center of the room.

He was immersed in meditation with just his pants on. He was sitting cross legged, and the sight showed that he was in the middle of energy cultivation.

Hm?

However, the energy that came from his body was strange.

There was both strong heat and cold which seemed locked in and swirling around each other.

While he was witnessing such a thing, a voice came,

“You are here.”

Seol-Hwi had turned his head.

Seo Saeng nodded. And feeling overwhelmed, he was going to speak to introduce himself.

“You are Seo Saeng who is in charge of the training.”

“Ah, uh? Well, yes…”

The man looked taken aback.

He didn’t think the guy would know of him, so he ended up responding in a timid manner.

Shh

Soon, Seol-Hwi stood up as he pointed to one side.

“Please sit there.”

There were chairs and tables with tea cups and a teapot for the guests.

And he sat down there as he opened his mouth,

“But, what kind of training is this?”

“Binding two types of qi.”

“You are trying to harmonize the two attributes?”

“It is a bit complicated to explain. Thank you for coming here, but with each day I am running out of time… is there something that I need to be told right now?”

“…I don’t plan on taking too much time.”

It didn’t feel easy to talk to this man.

So he thought hard and handed over a thick book to Seol-Hwi.

“Well, since you are appointed as the secret warriors, there are a couple things all of you will need to know. If you don’t have the basic information then the job would be difficult to do.”

“Information? I already know about it.”

“…Uh?”

“I said I already know the information I need to carry out the mission.”

At those words Seo Saeng frowned.

The book he brought with him was only completed very recently.

The Demonic Sect is a huge place, and even within it, people change and troops change. Even the situations change every time.

And the people do as well. So even if one had information, they had to constantly check it to be up to date.

“If you are so confident then I will check a couple things.”

The trainer felt the need to show the opponent his place.

He had new people constantly being this arrogant to him. Furthermore, he too was a man with pride, so he didn’t want anyone to look down on him.

He was an educator and trainer now, so he hated it even more if people tried to look down on him.

So he asked after pointing to a part in the book,

“Do you know what the Hundred Refined Mound Lord is?”

“That is an organization within the Mingsha Mountains. Their 12th leader is Son So-hwan. And he is at Peak Master. His subordinates are around 30,000 in number.”

The guy answered without hesitation.

“…”

This made Seo Saeng surprised, so he decided to ask something else.

“Do you know the right hand of the First Disciple?”

“Cheok Weiwei. I heard the person is ranked in the top ten of the Peak Warriors. And he rarely engages in outside activities, but there are rumors that he follows and escorts them.”

“Wonderful. Do you know the person called Pan Young among the people who follow the Third Disciple?”

“The one whose head will never fail, the one who can use demonic martial arts and never die. The warrior who is known to be strong enough to come in the top ten but is currently secluded and training in martial arts.”

Seo Saeng asked a couple more questions, and his face would go stiff each time.

The book he brought did not just contain information of elders in the various factions but also the people who followed the disciples.

Furthermore, it did not contain only information about people in the Demonic Sect but information about people in other powerful sects were written in it as well.

So how did this man know all this information? If only he could find out.

“Do you know why the disciples of the Heavenly Demon are fighting each other?”

Now he asked another question.

This was a question to check if Seol-Hwi had the ability to see the big picture instead of just the small details.

“I know. Originally it was a fight between the First and Second Disciples but one day the Third Disciple got a power up on her side. And then it slowly turned to a three way battle.”

“…!”

“Around the time the competition had turned stable, the sect announced that the Fourth Disciple was also qualified. They seemed to think that only when the fight continues do the disciples grow stronger.”

“…Then you mean all of this is a plan of the Sect Leader?”

“Who else could it be? The elders on the side of the Third Disciple, are the elders who do not follow anyone other than the Sect Leader. Is there anyone other than the Sect Leader who can tell them to join a faction?”

“…”

Seo Saeng opened his eyes in surprise.

Who was this guy?

He was a person who had so much detailed information and could make decisions while looking at the big picture.

Just where did the Earth Demon find such a person? And why did someone with this level of ability even join the Earth Demon who was the weakest of all the disciples in the first place?

His head felt full of complicated thoughts.

“Hm. I apologize. It is about time we end this. We need to move to practice.”

“…”

“If we move by the road on the right side a little behind the mountain, there is a place where a cliff comes up. If you have something to say to me, please come over there. Anything more?”

“…No.”

“Then, I will leave.”

Seol-Hwi turned around and without looking back he left.

“Ah, seriously!”

Ah, he saw it. He actually did.

“Do you know what cosmos means?”

But the question was quite difficult to understand, including the intention behind it as well.

“Cosmos… it means a very long time according to Buddhism… that cosmos?”

“Yes.”

And so he thought about how to answer the question after a long time and asked,

“If we have to count it, how many times can it be counted? Ten thousand? A million?”

“…”

This was an unexpected thing. And so he answered,

“Maybe 40,000 times a day for 10,000 days?”

“…”

Was it because of how the mood was set?

For some reason, the other side seemed confused.

“Hmm.”

Seol-Hwi was under the mountain peak. Unlike before, he was sitting in the middle of the cliff and overlooked it.

“That is close to infinite.”

Too many times. Actually this meant there was no need to count it anymore.

“…Still it could be possible, though.”

However, such a desperate answer turned out to be hope for him.

At first, it took a little time to go around, but later it took just one breath to cultivate the energy.

What was even more surprising was the more he cultivated with the Taiji Cultivation technique, the faster it turned.

It accelerated. If he did it all day, it would be so fast that he could not even keep track of it.

So about three days? Five days?

It might be faster than that.

Whether it was possible or not, when the pure energy circulated through the body, it would consume some energy in the body.

As a result, it uses energy to make the energy go around.

“Great. Let’s do that.”

The cultivation continued and went beyond a day or two.

Tuk. Tuk.

It rained on the third day, but even the rain failed to move Seol-Hwi from his spot.

The time was now a month.

And he had to get to the best level he could.

The number of times is meaningless.

It was faster than the blink of an eye to cultivate through the dantian. Acceleration followed by acceleration made counting meaningless.

Maybe that was why he reached a situation which wasn’t easy to control.

But it didn’t matter.

To make a difference, he knew he was lacking.

The tenth day?

He thought that Seo Saeng would say something, but the man just stood by and nodded.

Seol-Hwi was a bit frustrated with the reaction he gave.

When it was a little over fortnight—

His mind felt clouded, perhaps due to hunger. Then the cold wet rain touched his lips.

The flow of the dantian was so good that he couldn’t feel it happening anymore.

But he continued to do it.

At some point, the flow of the air could be felt.

Did 20 days pass? Or was it a little over 20?

Seol-Hwi noticed a change within his body. In the middle of cultivation, he felt a change in the airflow.

Could this be that?

At that moment, he saw a change in his entire body.

Previously, there was another change which came about three to four times.

For a moment alone, then it vanished.

Shhhh

A cold energy flew around him while the hot one vanished.

To be precise, the various energies flowing from Seol-Hwi’s body began to flow into nature.

“This….”

Seol-Hwi got up.

He hadn’t eaten for 20 days, and his entire body had turned skinny, yet his eyes—they looked clearer than ever.

The result of his cultivation…

He wasn’t sure of it.

The energy which was going around his body was neither pure nor demonic but different.

“Have I reached Peak Demon?”

He doubted it. Peak Master level? He wasn’t sure of it.

But—

<Special skills changed due to level up.> <You have learned the skill Heavenly Detention Ice Fire Storm.> <You have learned Annihilation of All Things.> <You have learned Martial Supreme Peak Wind God.>

“Ah…”

The ice technique to slow time and Sura Exploding Flame Arts, and the ability which appeared after Supreme Wind God.

Everything seemed to have gone a step higher.

“I really did climb…”

Seol-Hwi looked at the techniques for a moment.

And he looked up.

Combat Method <Free>

For an instant, his face shook.

Now he can finally call him.

However, even when selected, nothing happened. It had to be in a moment of crisis.

“Then…”

Swish

Two blades.

The sword of his own and the Supreme Pavilion Lord’s.

In the past Seol-Hwi threw a weapon at himself.

Swish!

He threw both weapons up again, but they felt different this time.

…What?

The pressure was reduced and the flow of time felt different.

If he paid attention from the point to where it fell, even in the middle of the fall now, he would feel nothing.

And in conclusion—

Tuk

He didn’t even feel anything when the sword passed by his body. Seeing the two just brush past his skin, Seol-Hwi felt lost in thought.

“Is this good or bad?”

—A body that doesn’t sense danger.

In addition, it seemed that the mental aspect had changed due to the cultivation.

“Right. If it happens…’

Seol-Hwi, who was worried, headed down the cliff.

It was a cliff with nothing below. There was a river, but if one fell in, they would die.

“This sounds a bit harsh but…”

Thinking so, he made up his mind. With the time approaching close to a month, there was no more to fuss about.

“Then, let’s see if he comes.”

Papat!

Seol-Hwi took the leap and threw himself down.

And this time he clearly felt it.

This is…

He felt the fear that he could actually die with the speed his body was going at.

The ground was turning visible.

No. The surface? River?

None.

When he thought about it, the place looked different from what he knew.

Combat Method <AI>

Was this important?

As if waiting, the combat method changed and the bodies changed.

Finally he was able to awaken the one who had been put to slumber.

“Yaaack—you fucking bastard—!”

—came the insults.

The impression that the body was different from the soul was revealed.

It was him.

The voice of the AI that Seol-Hwi was so happy to hear.
