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?e 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.
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.
