Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation
chapter-372

Seol-Hwi’s words held two meanings.

The two warriors used the martial arts of the Evil Sect, and then during the fight they switched to using Wudang’s.

Seol-Hwi thought it was odd. Moreover, they transformed the source of energy. And he found it strange.

The Absolute must have touched them somehow. Demonic energy? The corrupted energy of a justice sect? No.

What they were carrying was not some natural energy at all. So he was able to come to an accurate answer.

The third energy which did not exist in the world.

Something big is happening.

The power which Seol-Hwi saw in the past life, the one who used this was the best.

The Heavenly Demon, the leader of Demonic Sect.

It was a different nature from the power that the disciples of the Heavenly Demon had. A power which only those who were chosen could have.

Moreover, the last time before the Earth Demon died, was the power that was saved and used until at end not also the third one?

That was how the Absolute being’s power was.

Even with my current abilities, it isn’t easy.

Originally the warriors who had reached the highest level did not know what the effect of the third energy was. What was certain was that it would allow him to demonstrate strength which was at least as high or as beyond that of Supreme Demon.

They must feel as if they have reached the peak.

Right now, it is difficult to change.

That was the struggle of Seol-Hwi.

Unlike Supreme Demon, Profound Demon also requires physical requirements to be met. It was difficult right now for him.

So, Seol-Hwi first coolly analyzed their energy.

One person is using Blood Demon Arts which is one level higher than me, and his martial arts are closer to destruction. Another is the martial arts of poison, which is more terrifying than the poisonous attack known as the current best poison-based martial arts.

After Seol-Hwi closed his mouth for a while to think, they spoke first,

“Who have you been talking about this whole time?”

“Huh. Given that he’s openly emitting demonic energy, he must belong to the Demonic Sect. But why is he using the Qingcheng Sect’s techniques?”

They were equally puzzled, and the hunched man’s irritation grew with their mounting curiosity.

Seol-Hwi furrowed his brow for a moment before making a suggestion,

“…Since matters have come to this, why don’t we agree to satisfy each other’s curiosity?”

“Ha! What now?!”

The hunched man laughed derisively. He loathed being drawn into someone else’s schemes. The lean man, however, saw things differently.

“So annoying, yet he’s intriguing. Fine, I’ll show you mercy. I won’t kill you painfully.”

“…”

Was that remark relevant to the situation at hand? He was taken aback but knew he had to respond.

“Really? Great, I’ll answer honestly, but before I do, may I ask you one thing?”

Their gazes locked with the abrupt shift in conversation.

Was such a tactic necessary?

Yet this young man exuded such confidence that they consented.

Possessing overwhelming power, they likely believed they could dispatch the person before them without delay.

“Speak.”

Seol-Hwi posed just one question, the one that mattered most.

“Are there any other Wudang experts here?”

“…”

A silence fell, and Seol-Hwi nodded, having anticipated that an answer would not come easily.

But then…

“There are two.”

“…?”

An unexpectedly direct reply.

“One is Elder Hae Ja, who oversees this palace.”

“…And the other?”

He pressed for the answer without delay, though the response was slow in coming.

“Leader Jin Mu.”

“What?”

“You heard me, Leader Jin Mu.”

Even after hearing it, Seol-Hwi struggled to believe it. Was the person who had brought him here not Jin Mu?

Did this mean that the two most prominent representatives of Wudang were involved in this conspiracy?

Well, things like this lead to bloodshed. He pondered this revelation for a moment.

“Now then, tell me. Who are you?”

When the topic naturally changed, Seol-Hwi nodded as if it were his turn to be questioned.

“I joined Wudang a couple of weeks ago, and in Kangho, I am known as the Grassland Warrior. In my previous life, I threw myself into Qingcheng and became their sect leader.”

“…?”

“And before that, I was the one who killed the Demonic Sect leader and dealt with the Demon God. Impressive, right?”

“This bastard!”

Both of them looked angry, but Seol-Hwi did not care and continued,

“Well, you won’t believe it, so just witness the third power that has been passed on to me…”

Ice crystals faintly gathered at Seol-Hwi’s fingertips.

White Light Body Demonic Martial Arts.

He gathered the power of the absolute energy shot, which could not be stopped.

“I’ve experienced this a couple of times.”

The moment they lunged at him, smoke burst out, showcasing the best in ice arts.

Time had stopped.

There are too many variables. It must be eliminated in one hit.

Seol-Hwi decided to use all his strength at once.

He had already encountered too many unexpected events, and he thought capturing them would be wise. But he knew that if he waited too long, he would be in danger.

That was the third one.

A strength unfamiliar to most, even in his previous lives. Was this not the first time Seol-Hwi experienced that power combined like this, and found it poisonous?

Wheuk!

Thus, his first hit targeted the skinny man, not the hunched one.

Seol-Hwi’s hand moved slowly through the frozen time.

Wheik!

And the energy shot was released along with it.

Rumble

The attack was lightning swift. Even with time stopped, this attack moved swiftly and pierced the old man right in the chest.

And immediately, a cough came from the old man’s throat.

Jkkkk!

When the lightning shot flowed through the skinny man’s body, Seol-Hwi switched his target and rushed toward the hunched man, unleashing the Absolute Supreme Demonic Arts, which resulted in an explosive flame.

Trees struck by lightning in nature often burst into pieces ablaze. The impact created a crack in the cave, and a portion of the ceiling collapsed, dropping rocks.

“Huh!”

Taktak!

Seol-Hwi quickly moved backward to avoid the falling rocks from the ceiling and then discovered a large space.

Kukukuku!

As the cave continued to collapse, Seol-Hwi, covered in dirt, shook it off.

“Uh?”

Looking around, he found himself in a small stone house built by human hands.

“This is Wudang’s…”

On the stone wall was a statue of the Taoist God, the Moral Heavenly Lord, and next to it, a shelf full of books.

The sheer number of books and the size of the shelves filled him with awe at first glance.

However, he had no time to appreciate them.

“This… I am in trouble.”

Dddhh

Seol-Hwi felt the situation grow more dire because of the powerful airflow coming from the collapsed cave.

Were they still alive?

Shhh

Instead of focusing his energy on the sword, Seol-Hwi tried to alter the flow of air.

From what he remembered, he could not face the third stage of Supreme Demon growth.

It would be wise to release his strength and use it against them. To do that, he would need to utilize something beyond demonic arts.

Swish!

As he slowly altered the air, the clear and cool energy of the familiar blue wind enveloped the surroundings.

Kwak!

At that moment, the solid wall in front of him collapsed, and two men with strange expressions rushed in.

“Grrrr!”

As he had suspected, the two old men were emitting a third, unknown energy with terrifying destructive power.

Crack

Blood-red energy spread around, and from the other side, a poisonous gas seeped through.

“If it touches the blood, I will be done, and if the fog touches my skin, I will die.”

Seol-Hwi recognized the danger and adjusted his stance.

Wheik!

A strong wind rose as if blowing from the razor-sharp blade.

Shhh

The poisonous smoke, which had been slowly spreading, could no longer advance; to be precise, the poisonous air was pushed back by the wind Seol-Hwi’s sword generated.

Woong!

The wind even sent out moon-shaped waves, which shocked the elders.

“How is the essence of Taiji being…”

“You demonic bastard… how dare you!”

Qingcheng. The Taiji.

They could not believe what they saw before their eyes.

In their view, Seol-Hwi was clearly a member of the Demonic Sect disguised in Wudang. Yet the demonic energy, which should have been foul-smelling until a moment ago, turned into pure energy and suppressed their attacks. That’s why they could not believe it.

“It will be a little different this time.”

It felt possible.

Seol-Hwi thought to himself. Before he knew it, the airflow extending from his sword had turned into a huge river.

“The Taiji River!”

“Guh!”

The old men screamed. This was the beginning of the Taiji Wisdom Sword, which he should not know.

But what Seol-Hwi was doing was exactly that.

To someone who did not know, it would be confusing to discern whether he was from Wudang or the Demonic Sect.

“Then try blocking this too.”

When Seol-Hwi’s sword came down, the energy of the opponent, which had been entangled, was pierced.

The white energy, blinding to behold, almost tore through everything and flew toward the elders.

Swish — ack!

And when he reached the third stage of power, he felt shaken for a moment.

Was it difficult to block out all the hostile energy?

But for a moment, the white energy neutralized the opposing energy and created a wave. And he delivered the blow.

Goo…

The strongest martial arts attack Seol-Hwi could execute.

But they endured it with their strength. Seol-Hwi felt it too; he had not used the energy properly this time.

Rather

Drop

Blood was dripping down his nose.

“Damn it, the change didn’t happen in the right manner.”

Was it because he had changed from Supreme Demon to Supreme Master in such a short span?

It would not have mattered if it were just in martial arts, but trying to use the essence of Wudang must have taken a toll on his body.

And it was a dangerous thing.

“Kuaa…”

“You… you…!”

To make matters worse, his body was not in perfect condition either. The old people were alive and well too.

No, they seemed to have gotten even stronger now.

Clack!

Third stage

The poisonous blood began to flow from his fingers, and the strange poison of the lean man had gotten to him.

Am I dying now?

Cough.

Had he pushed his body too much in such a short period of time?

His vision turned blurry. And in a situation outside the system, the sudden change of martial arts did more harm to him than good.

Their power clearly surpassed everything. And he could not control them now.

The airflow before his eyes.

Pingggg…

Normally, the energy of the Clear Wind of Qingcheng flowed before his eyes, but now it looked darker to him. As it came closer, he noticed it was around gray.

“…”

At first, he thought it was a simple side effect caused by the mixing of pure energy and demonic energy.

Because his body was also experiencing a deviation of energy now, he could not do much.

And then Seol-Hwi realized that the airflow was giving him this familiar feeling, and he understood that something different was happening.

That is…

Pak

It disappeared in an instant, almost as if it were an illusion.

But Seol-Hwi saw it clearly.

And he felt it.

He had seen this once before.

But once he saw it, he would never forget it.

“Oh my…”

Seol-Hwi’s eyes widened. It was the third energy that had appeared for a moment and then vanished — the energy of the person who had tapped into the third level of Supreme Demon.

“Earth Demon…”

Darkness and light had mingled, creating the atmosphere of chaos that had preceded this moment.
