Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Blessing in a disguise (4)

A martial art that represented the Lord of the Demonic Cult was the Godly Force of the Sky Demon . Every cultist knew of the power beyond that martial art and it was also one of three Godly Forces of the Jianghu . But the word said Sword Force, not Godly Force .

‘Hmm… is it a sword skill?’

Chun Yeowun was confused . He had never heard of Sword Force . Was it a breathing skill or a sword art? He learned from Guard Jang that the Lord’s best martial art was the Sword Art of the Sky Demon . But what was this Sword Force?

‘Is it the name of the original sword skill in the blue pearl stone?’

That seemed to be the most likely case here . The bearded middle-aged man who Yeowun met on the first floor of the library said that the blue pearl stone held the truth from Father Chun .

‘He would leave a new name for it of course . I guess Father Chun is the one who wrote this here . ’

It was natural for making up such a name for a powerful sword art like that, especially if it was made after the Sword Art of the Sky Demon .

‘Nano, can you check the writing on this pillar to see if it matches the writing on the blue pearl stone pedestal?’

A white line then scanned the writing on the pillar and Nano soon responded .

[Analysis complete . It is from the same writer . ]

‘That is the name then!’

Yeowun then learned the real name of the original sword skill he had learned .

‘What up with these holes then?’

Yeowun then looked down at the holes underneath the name . Holes under the poetry on the pedestals represented numbers, but these holes looked different .

‘It looks like a drawing . ’

The holes formed the shape of a dragon .

‘Dargon?’

The animal in the myths symbolized unity and power . He would have not paid that much attention if he didn’t find out about the secret behind holes on the blue pearl stone pedestal . He was curious if this drawing had some secret behind it also .

‘What is it trying to say?’

Yeowun then sat down to give it some thought . He brought the pedestals to his left and right and began looking closely at the holes in the shape of a dragon . However, he couldn’t find identify any relationships between these holes .

‘Are the holes related to the numbers again?’

Yeowun then counted the number of holes .

‘…Twenty-four?’

There was a total of twenty-four holes . He wondered if the number twenty-four meant anything . After thinking for an hour, all he could think of was the sword movement comprised of the Sword Force of Sky Demon and its twenty-four movements .

‘What is it talking about?’

“Whew…”

He sighed in frustration . He couldn’t find any answers . What did this soaring dragon mean?

‘It should mean something… why is there a drawing of a dragon going up… huh?’

Yeowun then looked up at the ceiling .

“Ugh!”

The light stones from above shined down on him, making him look down . It was too bright to look up directly .

‘It’s too bright . ’

It was too painful to look directly at the stones . Yeowun looked up because the dragon was trying to go up into the ceiling, but he then thought that maybe the secret was on the ceiling . However, he couldn’t look directly at it to see what was going on up there .

‘Hm…’

Maybe the secret was hidden behind the light, not the darkness . Nothing left by Father Chun Ma was easy to get, but Yeowun had a way to look directly into the light .

‘Nano, can you control the light coming into my sight?’

[Adjusting light perception . ]

Yeowun’s eyes flickered and the cave turned dark . Yeowun then looked up again as he was ready .

“This is amazing…”

Yeowun was astonished . There were a number of shiny stones, but the ones around the giant center pillar showed hundreds of bright stones with writings .

“This was it!”

Yeowun smiled . He wasn’t sure what these hundreds of stones were talking about, but they surely held the secret related to the Sword Force of the Sky Demon .

‘Nano, can you scan those stones?’

[Yes, Master… scan completed . ]

‘Project it on that large wall so I can see it more closely . ’

Nano then recreated the writing on the ceiling over on the wall . Yeowun walked over and checked the writing .

“…What?”

Yet, the writings weren’t related to martial arts at all . It consisted of poetry and other things .

‘This… and this… and this… what is going on?’

All of them had no relations to martial arts . Yeowun frowned as he had expected a great finding .

‘Did I miss something?’

He thought that going through all of these writings would give him the answer to a great secret, but even if there was a secret hidden within the writings, it didn’t seem like it would be that hard to decipher it .

‘Maybe it’s hidden among all this . ’

Yeowun figured there must be something that was related to martial arts . Finding it was the problem . Of course, he didn’t need to read all this writing by himself .

‘Nano, can you find anything among all this that might have a relationship to martial arts?’

[Scanning . ]

Nano proceeded with the scanning . This shortened the amount of time Yeowun needed if he were to look at every stone . Soon, Nano finished scanning and analyzing .

[There is a total of twenty-four stones that contain writings and drawings that seems to teach the Breathing Skill . ]

‘Breathing skill?’

Yeowun’s eyes grew larger . What kind of breathing skill would be divided up into twenty-four stones? Nano then highlighted the twenty-four stones in red . Yeowun’s eye grew larger as he looked at it .

“This…!”
