Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation
chapter-298

“You are back.”

When Seol-Hwi entered the residence, Cheon Miryo naturally approached him. Counting it down, only two days had passed since he went on the mission, but for some reason, looking at her, it seemed like he had gone through quite a long journey.

“Yes, it has been a while.”

Cheon Miryo nodded at Seol-Hwi’s smile.

She suddenly widened her eyes and asked,

“You stepped up, for real?”

“How did you know?”

It was said that the martial artist who reached the peak of the Super Master level would find those below him as all normal people.

This was called the state of return, and there are many people with higher internal energy who reach peak levels, and for them Super Master level warriors were nothing.

So Seol-Hwi was curious. He wondered how she recognized him right now.

“Hmmm. Seol-Hwi’s eyes… are that of a child. Eyes of purity and life.”

“The eyes.”

It was a little different from what he thought, but Seol-Hwi understood it. Was there not an old saying that the eyes were the windows to the soul?

Of course, her extraordinary internal energy was also accompanying it. When Seol-Hwi looked at the window for a moment, thinking that the completion of dantian had such an impact.

He heard Cheon Miryo mumbling,

“As expected, Master was right. Someday, the immortal being will become a Profound Demon and he will prepare for a fight with the warrior of the other world…”

“What did you just say?”

Seol-Hwi was shocked.

Warrior of the other world. That was a player. How did she know that Seol-Hwi was preparing for the fight with a player?

“…Come to think of it, it seems like the time has come. Mr. Seol-Hwi, I think the time has come to tell everything starting at the very beginning.”

Cheon Miryo sighed and walked to the chair provided. As if the story was going to be long, she invited Seol-Hwi to sit down.

Swish

He sat together with her, and she gathered her thoughts for a while before saying,

“First, I should tell you who my master is. He was not very well known in the sect, but his ability is shocking to the level of heavens.”

Ko Seo-pal—

The master of Cheon Miryo.

Born as the son of an ordinary farmer, he was a peddler who wandered around to make money, but he happened to come across the Demonic Sect and settled down.

“My master enjoyed reading and as he read many books, he came to have the ability of being very aware of the heavens and land.”

“Hmm.”

Seol-Hwi knew what that meant. The reports he read in the library helped him.

To be aware of the heavens and land meant a state of things which changed according to the climate, and heaven referred to the celestial bodies and happenings in the universe.

It was a surprising thing that he had even read the books.

“Master said it was just because he came from a farmer family. An old farmer knows the sky—changes in seasons, the climate, and issues which depend on livelihood, so they have no choice but to be sensitive to nature.

“I think he was a born genius. That there was no other master like him. Maybe his talent came late so he didn’t think much about it.

“Right. He was like that.”

Cheon Miryo nodded, recalled what happened and then said,

“Anyway, Master said that he began to see something strange one day while looking at the sky.”

It made sense that the sun in spring and autumn rose in the east and was in the south around noon, but one day, he saw it was staying in the north like a season had changed.

It was not just that.

Not only had the places where the shadow passed changed, but the position drawn first and position of the dot had changed as well.

Or when a flower bloomed, a strange occurrence such as the direction the bud bloomed and such. If one was not careful or meticulous, what would happen? It was not something normal people would know.

“In a way, these are trivial and insignificant things. However, it is said that the movement of the bodies has had a close connection with the heavenly spirit, future and destiny since ancient times. Master has been careful since then.”

So he discovered this phenomenon.

The time slowed down and sped up. The movement of the moon, the hour to change the direction, the year which came, nothing was fixed.

When day and night were of equal length and in the early evening, when the sky begins to appear in the sky, and the stars which should be visible suddenly vanished.

“Even the north star at midnight. He witnessed the number of stars increase from six to eight at one time.”

“Is the north star increasing? What is that odd thing?”

“Master assumed that it was a trace that occurred in the process of time warping. Originally time and space could be separated. That is why it is called a union,”

Cheon Miryo explained.

Time flowed with space, and for that reason, if one looked at the multiple spaces, they could see the time twisting.

So, the mentioned master knew that times flower in a certain manner, and later the heaven meant that not one world exists, but several at the same time,

“What the hell does it mean?”

Seol-Hwi could not understand it. He knew something was odd, but he could not understand what it meant. Was there a difference in it?

If the number of stars increased, and if one said it themselves, it would seem strange. But after a while, one would forget.

Ordinary people just get over it. Only the wise men as the master can understand them.

“You said it was a phenomenon that happens when someone’s life ends and starts. We don’t know but someone died and came back. Time had turned back.”

“…!!!!”

Seol-Hwi was surprised at this

Death. Returning to life.

This was what Seol-Hwi himself was experiencing. And it was something he never told anyone. If time turned back, everything would be like it never happened.

But Cheon Miryo’s master figured it out by watching the sky?

“Hasn’t the falling star been linked to death? It is surprisingly often seen that people are born with the energy of the star. The Earth Demon is like that.”

“Heavenly Killing Star…”

Seol-Hwi groaned and nodded at those words.

The Earth Demon was an almighty force, although it was at the cost of ending his life with just one hit, it was on the level of a natural disaster.

“Stars, time… it means…*

As more clues were there, Seol-Hwi had an idea. The phenomenon in which someone died and came back to life, it was what he was going through.

Perhaps, Cheon Miryo’s master could have found the traces created by the system on his own.

“So… what did he say after that?”

“That…”

She paused as she said,

“Someone has to shoulder the causality tied to the stars. Since he was forcibly pulled into the world, one must find him and bring it back to normal… is what he said.”

Ah!

Seol-Hwi felt something change. His guess was right.

Someone unrelated discovered the system, and Cheon Miryo was sent to prepare for that. Now it felt like the pieces were coming together. Why was she wary of the system?

“Then…”

However, there were also questions.

The system recognized her as an unknown being, and that too must have been the work of her master. Then what did he use?

“How could Lady Cheon be able to avoid the eyes of that being?”

He was curious. How could she know of it but the system did not recognize her?

“Ah…”

She fell silent for a minute and then said,

“Maybe… because the master made it that way.”

“Master? What did he do?”

“Whenever the time comes to be Profound Demon, he said it was in the highest and coldest place of the world. In the extreme frozen ground, one could fool the eyes of an absolute being.”

“Ahh.”

The cold martial arts came to his mind. Now that the system did not know it, it did not remember her.

Unless it turned into a connection point like Seol-Hwi, one hid in the ice and stayed hidden. It must have been recognized that she had disappeared while the world continued to change.

In addition, human life had a limit, so the system did not think one would be alive for over a hundred years.

As a result., the extreme yin arts she learned not only allowed her to live a long life, but made her avoid the eyes of the system.

“Then how did you know I existed?”

Seol-Hwi’s curiosity grew as she managed to find him.

“Master said that an immortal being, a person caught in the twists of time would come to find the girl. He said at that time—”

The face of Cheon Miryo went stiff and she said it with a straight ace,

“They will come thousands of times, but from your memory it will be just once. And among the many immortal beings, the most powerful person will lead you.”

Ahh.

Seol-Hwi’s mind realized it.

Right—

Cheon Miryo did not have multiple lives. But players can have hundreds and even thousands of them. Even if there were just a small number of them, they could come into contact with her numerous times.

But for her, it would be just once.

“Can I ask one last thing?”

“Yes.”

“Do you know the level of your master? For example, Profound Demon, Supreme Demon… or…”

Seol-Hwi forcefully opened his mouth.

“Well, he taught me martial arts, but his level of martial arts was not high. Or maybe I was too weak to know his skills.”

“…I understand.”

Seol-Hwi nodded. He heard enough of this.

Her existence, and the master who saw the events.

“Right, right, we will end it here. You must have a lot to think about, so take a break. If you have any questions, we can talk later.”

Cheon Miryo slowly got up and then bowed to Seol-Hwi.

Seol-Hwi just sat there in a daze. And he mumbled looking at the door,

“There are more and more reasons to risk it all in this life.”

Seol-Hwi said that and nothing more. Because there was no need to say it.

Because it is also my last life to meet you.

Seol-Hwi stood up. There was not enough time to waste it here.
