Chapter 110

Chapter 110

At that moment, not only Bu Eun-sul’s group, but even Namgungsea was mesmerized by a pair of beautiful eyes.
“Let’s go then.”
Namgungshea nodded as she regained her senses at the sound of the archer’s voice.
Jiahabidong (purple secret cave) of the Summer Palace
A huge underground cave inside the main palace of the Shrine of the Goddesses, originally used to store secrets passed down from generation to generation.
However, as it became more and more humid, it was closed down, and the owner of the Shinnyeungung Palace reinstalled the ceiling ten pictures here.
Tut-tut-tut.
After a long walk down the underground passageway, we finally came to a massive iron gate.
Namgungsea touched some of the carvings on the iron gate, and it hissed open.
“This is.”
Namgungun’s eyes widened as he looked inside the door.
With torches lit everywhere, the floor of the stone chamber was densely lined and looked like a giant chessboard.
And there stood twenty-four gigantic statues, each more than eight feet tall.
“What’s this all about?”
Namgungun asked, and Namgungsea spoke in a low voice.
“These are the twenty-four ceilings. If you can break through those twenty-four ceilings and get to the other side of the room, you pass the test.”
Namgung Yun was also a member of the Namgung Sega family, and he achieved some success in both sword and spirit arts.
He looked gravely at the way the ceilings were standing.
Everywhere I looked, I saw signs of traps as well as deceptions that would boggle the minds of men.
“This…… really is a gin to die for.”
“You can give up now.”
Then the cotton-clad archer said.
“You can’t do it alone, because you need at least two masters who have mastered it to do it.”
“But let’s give it a shot.”
Nangongyun took a deep breath.
He was inexperienced, not lacking in swordsmanship and education.
“Do you mind if I go first?”
Namgungwoon smirked at Buunseol.
His calculation was that even if he failed, it would be helpful to see what was going on beforehand.
‘He wasn’t just an asshole.
Bu Eunseol nodded, realizing that Nangongyun was being considerate.
“Sure.”
“Here we go!”
Nangong Yun drew the golden sword from his waistband and slowly stepped into the ten pictures of the ceiling.
“Hmm.”
The moment they entered the camp, Nangongyun’s expression changed.
As soon as I got into Jinjutsu, I felt like something unpleasant was poking around in my head.
Wham!
In the meantime, the nearby ceiling swung his greatsword wildly.
It wasn’t just a statue, it was a statue that could move like a person, powered by an organ.
“Big.”
However, my head was in the game and I was a little late with my evasive action.
Click!
The greatsword sliced through the nimbus’s spine.
“You almost died.
With an inward sigh of relief, he surveyed the ceiling around him.
“The archer was right.
Dozens of jins are stacked on top of each other, and the living gate is guarded by the ceiling. Moreover, every time it moves, the jin shapes move dizzily like constellations.
“It’s impossible.
When he couldn’t figure out how to do it, he gathered his energy and channeled it into the golden needle sword.
“I’m going to smash all the ceilings with this weird sword!
Boom!
A low crackling sound echoed as the qi flowed through the tip of the golden blade.
“Ha!”
Namgungun slashed at the towering ceiling in front of him with all his might.
Boom!
But with a dull thud, like hitting a rock, the ceiling only pushed back a foot.
“No?”
He used a herbivore that would have destroyed even a golden bronze man in an instant. And yet, they were only pushed back a step?
‘Withstand the swordsmanship of the House?
In fact, the only reason the ceiling didn’t shatter was because the sword missed the ceiling because he was in a true-life hallucination.
But Nangongyun, who didn’t realize it, exclaimed in disgrace.
“The Sword of the Southern Palace Family can destroy everything!”
With even more energy, he once again unsheathed the Spearbow Rainbow Sword.
Quang! Pow!
In an instant, dust rose from the floor inside the stone chamber, along with stone dust.
But even with all the power, the ceilings stood tall and unmoved.
“Wake up, the sword hasn’t touched you at all!”
Black Mark, watching from a distance, shouted, and Namgungsea shook her head.
“It’s no use. You can’t hear anything once you’re in the realm of the truth.”
“Damn!”
Nangongyun bit his lip as he plunged the golden hilt into the floor of the stone chamber.
‘This golden sword cannot break a statue made of iron. It must have been influenced by this Qin Law.”
After a moment’s hesitation, he struck at the ceiling, not with his spear, but with a normal sword.
But with a thud, the ceiling still stood tall.
“A light touch makes a sound?
Nangongyun’s eyes widened as he realized that his sword hadn’t even touched the ceiling in the first place.
‘If I think about it, I don’t have to deal with these ceilings. I just need to get to the other side.
As I regain my composure, I feel a surge of strength in my body.
Changing tactics, he began to move forward through the damage on the ceilings with a series of kata.
Wham!
But this wasn’t easy either.
The attacks of the twenty-four ceilings were impeccably executed, and the patterns on the floor were constantly changing.
It’s one thing to be on the defensive, but figuring out how to move forward while avoiding attacks was taking more than a few steps.
‘Damn! Shit!
Even though it was already over an hour old, the nimbus hadn’t even passed halfway to its ceiling.
The bigger problem was that his health and airpower were gradually dropping.
‘I’m hallucinating, and I can’t tell where or how those greatswords are coming from.
As Nangong Yun performed the Stretching Technique, he felt his senses, once as sharp as a knife, slowly dulling.
On top of that, the floor was constantly shifting, making it difficult to stand still.
Greatsword attacks coming out of nowhere. The floor of the stone chamber spinning endlessly. Nangongyun felt dizzy and nauseous just standing still.
Whoosh! Pot!
As he dodged a flurry of greatswords at his head, one of the giant ones that had managed to slip through the gap grazed his shoulder.
“Poof!”
Once the stance broke down, Nangongyun’s movements began to tangle.
When it was time for a cup of tea, his body was gradually stained with blood.
“Stop!”
At that moment, the Sword Archer took out the Sword of the Sword Lord from his bosom and said in a pained voice, “I’m sorry.
“Make it stop.”
“I see.”
Namgungsea received the Sogyoju order and hastily placed it in one of the stone chambers.
Then, with a thud, the spinning floor stopped, and the greatsword-wielding ceiling slowly stopped moving.
“Huh. Huh.”
Standing in the center of the stone room, Namgungun drew in a sharp breath.
If he hadn’t stopped, his body would have been shattered by the greatsword within moments.
“My lord. Are you all right?”
Black Mark, who was standing by Bu Eunseol’s side, quickly approached her, and Nangong Yun waved his sleeve.
“That’s fine. Not enough to worry about.”
He spoke the words, but his gait was greatly staggered and his complexion was extremely pale.
When he stepped outside, Namgungsea spoke in a cold voice.
“You sneaky little bastard.”
She glanced at the statue of the Sovereign of the Small Kingdom embedded in the wall and spoke in a low voice to Nangongyun.
“Live by the grace of the archer.”
Hearing that, Namgungun broke free of Black Mark’s support and clasped his hands together.
“Thank you for your consideration. Ha ha.”
“You’re welcome.”
He bowed lightly, and Namgungun stumbled again.
Namgungsea spoke to the siblings standing behind the archer.
“Have him escorted to the Yakshin Temple.”
“I see.”
Namgungun waved his hand away as Black Mark tried to continue.
“Don’t bother with me, stay with Xu Xiaohua.”
He looked at Bu Eunseol and said with an embarrassed expression.
“I’m not good enough to be in this position, but I hope I can get through the Chinese New Year.”
Namgungwoon’s words and actions were scandalous, but he was a kind-hearted man with a big heart.
Bu Eun-sul nodded slightly as if she understood the true nature of the namgungun.
“Take a break.”
He walked slowly into the chamber.
“Mr. Confucius. Never push yourself too hard.”
Black Mark said worriedly, and Buunsul nodded.
“I see.”
Eek.
Finally, Buunseol entered the stone chamber with its ten-picture ceiling.
As I stepped into the room, I felt a rush of unpleasant emotions rush through my head.
It was anger and regret that I had long since forgotten.
“I feel bad.
The spirit of the martial artists is very strong, and they are not swayed by anything.
But to be offended by merely stepping into the true law…… The true law of the Shinnyeo Palace was indeed unusual.
Eek.
As she regained her footing, a sharp greatsword grazed her cheek with a whoosh.
The situation was much like the first time the Southern Sagittarius entered.
“I guess so.
Bu Eunseol’s eyes widened as she remembered all the situations Namgungwoon had been through.
‘A master of the Spearbow Rainbow Sword was unable to properly dodge the attacks of the mere heavens. Then…… must not be a mere hallucination.”
The greatswords they wield are more than two ships’ lengths wide.
If you’re swinging a greatsword as fast as a chopstick, you’re going to have to make a lot of noise and wind.
However, the sound of the greatsword slashing in was only a muffled thud. Then it was clear that the sensations he was feeling now were also affected by the Qin Law.
‘Beastdo…….’
Buunsul’s pupils dilated greatly as he brought up his normally subtle beast senses.
Yikes!
At the same time, Gongfa Simian’s powers kicked in and he was able to clearly detect the movement of the ceiling and floor as he stood inside the chamber.
‘The ceilings weren’t coming at us.
According to the beast’s senses, the floor is shifting around, but the positions of the greatswords are firmly anchored to the ground.
However, the effect of the pendulum is to disorient you and make you walk out to where the ceilings are standing.
“If you break through, that’s it.
Jumbuck.
Another step was taken, and with a whoosh, three greatswords pierced into Bu Eunseol’s body.
“You can’t rely on sight.
The ceiling photos were a constant, subtle hallucination that made me lose not only my sense of direction but also my sense of distance.
Closing his eyes completely, Bu Eun-sul used his beastly senses to dodge the greatswords.
Podpod!
Nevertheless, a thin layer of life had formed on Buunsul’s body.
“So this is the real deal.”
So far, Bu Eun-sul has faced and defeated a number of Jinns.
That’s because it was practiced by humans of different levels of martial arts, different body types, and different personalities.
But the ceilings in front of me were statues whose movements, body shapes, and even force distribution were perfectly matched.
The floor was moving at random, so for the first time, Bu Eun-sul couldn’t find a loophole in the law.
Boom!
He took another step forward, and this time six greatswords blocked his retreat, aiming for the uremia in his chest and back.
Podpod!
Every time she made an evasive move, she would inevitably get hit.
“To dodge properly, I’d have to completely break the rules and move with the motion.”
He used his beastly senses to dodge the greatsword, but the floor was shifting, making it impossible for him to make a perfect dodge.
“That’s interesting.”
A smile played on Bu Eunseol’s lips.
Taking on an unknown enemy was, for him, a pleasure.
Even if he could break the Qin Dao, he would still be moving forward against the ceiling.
“I’ll have to learn pinyin later.”
I thought the true law was just a meaningless remnant.
However, the ten photos of the ceiling completely shattered my preconceptions.
‘What a strange trick these statues can play with the laws of nature.
Bu Eun-sul, his interest piqued, drew up his inner ball. She stretched out her two hands and unleashed a mighty blow.
Woohoo!
Then a strange thing happened.
He stretched out his hand, and the bodies of the cast-iron ceilings slid backward.
“What about that?
Namgungsea’s eyes widened as she watched.
Bu Eun-sul didn’t use artistic techniques, but rather pure inner strength, and he used the pearl of the sword.
