He said he would let you know if he succeeds, but Luciel didn’t tell him what kind of magic it was until his internal energy was restored.
I don’t have much time, so I came back and turned my phone off and on to check the time. It was 6:15.
There were only 15 minutes left until the appointment time.
There were quite a few missed calls from Sejin, so I had to go with warp magic.
It was because I was planning to use warp when moving to the portal anyway.
First, I called Sejin.
-Yes, teacher.
“sorry. I couldn’t check my phone because I was doing other things. where are you?”
―I’m at home, so shall we delay the appointment time?
“no. I can go right now… Are you home alone right now?”
-Yes.
“Are you all wearing clothes?”
-Yes? Of course I’m wearing it. Why is that… ?
Sejin warped to his house, but something unpleasant could happen.
“All right then. I’ll go right away.”
After hanging up the phone and using warp magic, the field of view changes in an instant.
I just moved to the front door, and I see Sejin right there.
“Sir, sir? how there… .”
“You said you would come right away.”
“No, but how… .”
“Um, would you like to come over here and put on your shoes and give me a hand?”
Actions speak louder than words. Rather than explaining, it will be faster for people to understand.
Holding his hand and using warp magic, I arrived near the portal where the master was.
Startled by the sudden change in vision, I looked around.
“west… Sir, where are you?”
“This is Mt. Seorak.”
He pulled out a map app and showed the location to the guy, explaining that it was a newly developed magic.
If it was someone else, they would have suspected me as a monster or thought I was strange and questioned them.
However, since I developed regeneration magic last time and actually experienced it, I seem to believe my words straight away.
“You are really great.”
“What is great. Hey, actually, Sejin lied to you.”
“Are you lying?”
I explained about martial arts and master.
He learned martial arts in Korea, not China, and this is the portal where Master lived.
He claimed to have discovered it by accident while attacking another portal nearby.
Even the fact that I recently took the top line… .
It’s a story that’s hard to believe, so I tilt my head in the middle.
However, as we talked, we arrived at the portal where the master was.
“Is there really a portal?”
It seems like a really long time coming.
There was no master anyway, and I didn’t purposely go because I thought of the master and would only make me depressed and weak.
“Are you trusting me now?”
“I believed in you from the beginning.”
I don’t think it’s a lie.
Because Sejin has such strong faith in me that she won’t doubt me even if I make fermented soybeans with dung.
“Because you said that you had a disciple, the master wanted to see you a lot. If I knew you would leave so suddenly, I’d show you… .”
When I think of Master, it feels like stabbing my chest with an awl.
“ah… Hey, don’t you have a picture of that master?”
“Is it because you don’t believe me?”
“No, it’s not like that, it’s the teacher’s master, so I was curious too… . sorry.”
“Yeah… .”
Let’s take a picture together. I really regret why I didn’t do that simple thing that I can do with my phone.
“Teacher… Are you okay?”
“It’s fine. As I said before, I don’t think the master died, but he really became a Taoist. If I became a freshman, I wondered if my master would be able to watch over me, so I came here to show you, albeit late.”
“ah… .”
“Will you go with me? I will give you an answer after saying hello to the master.”
“Ah yes.”
I entered the portal with Sejin.
“west… Teacher? Is this where you are?”
Sejin asks a question, but he is in no mood to answer.
what?
The ground is overturned, trees are split and fallen, and the state is a complete mess, as if a typhoon or earthquake had occurred.
No, this is not a natural disaster.
If you look at the fallen trees, they are all cut straight.
no way?
I told Sejin to wait for a while and immediately ran to the place where the cave was.
Fortunately, the cave and the inner spirit law engraved in the cave are intact, and the tombstone I made is the same.
I went around every corner of the portal, spreading my energy, but couldn’t find anyone other than Sejin, so I returned to the entrance.
“Sir, what’s going on?”
“I wondered if the master had returned… . It wasn’t like this the last time I set up the tombstone and left.”
“really?”
“But there was no one anywhere.”
If not Master, who the hell has been to this place?
In the original work, the main character discovers this place for the first time, and the time has not yet come… .

As he swung his sword, the ground turned upside down and trees fell at once.
Are you a fan again?
I didn’t think I would be able to do it easily, but I thought there was nothing I couldn’t do since I did the same thing as Dongbin Le, who was defeated by me… .
After all, it must have been unreasonable to follow such a technique just by looking at it with your own eyes.
really trying… what?
A black gap appeared in the air in the direction the sword was swung.
It’s a little different from what Dongbin Lu showed, but it definitely cuts through the space.
I thought that there might be a possibility if I did a little more, so I raised my sword while recalling the sensation from earlier.
As I swung the sword a few more times, the black gap gradually widened and soon took the shape of an ellipse.
I think I can get by with this, but… .
At first, I was only thinking of getting out of here and finding the disciple, but if I go out here, will I be able to go to the place where the disciple lives?
If I go to a strange place and can’t come back here, I’ll be crazy… .
The size of the ellipse gradually decreases.
well, it will work somehow I’ve been successful at best, but I can’t even stop trying.
The moment I was about to take a step, a person jumped out of the black gap.
This is Yeo Dong-bin.
“No, why are you out there?”
“Who will do it. What are you doing right now?”
“What are you doing? My disciple didn’t come… I was going to look for it, so I saw your technique and copied it, but it seems I opened it by mistake.”
I expected it from the moment Lu Dong-bin popped out, but it seems to have led to the world of celestial beings, not the world where the disciple lives.
“Cha, did you just watch and copy Dimension Split?”
“Is it okay if I follow you?”
“What nonsense… .”
“Anyway, that’s fine. While you are here, help me to go to our disciple.”
Lu Dongbin is skilled, so he must be able to do it.
“It can’t be.”
“why not?”
“Why do you want to meet a disciple? Didn’t you pact with me that you would no longer intervene in the world?”
“No, that is, but… Because of you, my disciple thought I had won the first place and didn’t come after I even erected a monument… .”
“No matter what the circumstances, you must not interfere with the world. Besides, isn’t your disciple a person from another dimension? We shouldn’t have met in the first place.”
“What does that matter? I didn’t come here because I wanted to come here. If you think about it, isn’t it all the fault of the fairy world?”
“… Well, I can’t say no, but wasn’t that why we also listened to your request?”
“Isn’t that because I won the duel?”
“hahahaha. I lost because I dealt with you only with the power of royalties. The result would have been different if I had used my powers as well.”
Defeated and pitiful, he tried to ask what he was talking about, but when Lu Dongbin waved his hand once, his energy disappeared and his body felt weak.
“Even if I lost in the first place, do you think there is no one stronger than you in the fairy world?”
“… .”
“If I had sent someone else to subdue you, you would have had to take first place. But we didn’t. is not it?”
There is nothing to be said for calmly refuting.
Now that I see it, he speaks so well that I wonder if it is not a swordsman, but a speech.
“I respected your wishes in order to compensate for the time you spent alone here because of the dragon’s curse, so you should also keep the promise.”
“there… Then, can you tell the student that I did not finish first?”
There is no regret in the world anyway.
Even when he was in Jungwon in the first place, Cheonma and Sambong both asked for help for their Demonic Cult and faction, but they refused because they were not interested in playing with such forces.
All I want is ramen, chicken, entertainment programs, and a disciple who can bring me these things.
“It is impossible.”
“why? I also made some concessions… .”
“A good man should not recklessly appear in front of a criminal. Besides, as I said many times, this is a completely different dimension. Interference is prohibited in principle.”
“No, my student misunderstood that I was ranked first because of a duel with you… .”
“Wasn’t it you who asked me to duel first? You were the one who asked me to move.”
under… . It’s really unfair, but it’s true, so I can’t refute it at all.
I was going to ask how it couldn’t be done, but the space split… what?
“The swordsman had come beforehand. Long time no see, flow.”
A familiar face in a white uniform with a Taegeuk pattern.
“Sambong? You guys have become a freshman!”
“I came to an epiphany in my later years. I… Swordsman, please go back. Since he was my best friend, I will speak well so that I can understand.”
“I’ve already told you everything, but… Got it. You can trust Jang Jin-in.”
At the same time as he spoke, Lu Dongbin disappeared.
“Looking at the Taurus Horang Malko becoming a Taoist, it must have been a lot of time.”
“Hmm, what… When I heard the news that you fought and won against the swordsman and refused to be ranked, I wanted to be the same.”
“Look, Sambong, I won’t talk too long, so just tell my student that I’m alive.”
“Didn’t you say that the swordsman explained it? You have nothing to do with this world. It is the same for us.”
“Hey, don’t be mean. Haven’t I ever saved your life?”
“Haven’t I helped you quite a bit? Also, you may not have known about it, but do you remember the victims of the dragon’s curse?”
After slaying dragons and contacting people without knowing anything, many turned to stone… .
“I don’t remember. How are they?”
“The victims of the curse were brought from our shaman’s gate and restored to their original state after three years of hard work. But do you know that you almost became an enemy of Moorim because of that?”
“radish… Moorim feat?”
“That would have been the case if I hadn’t defended you saying you weren’t that kind of guy. I think this is enough to repay the favor. is not it?”
Originally, this child was weak in martial arts, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the best in the world with his mouth.
“Okay, how can it really not be?”
“… There is no way.”
“Don’t speak so bluntly. For some reason, I refused to take the top line and stayed here… .”
“Then, how about taking the top line even now? Seonggye isn’t such a bad place either. There are a few guys you might know.”
“Leo Dong-bin said that if you refuse once, it’s over?”
“That’s true, but since you have circumstances, how about going together and asking Samcheong for a favor? I’ll try asking too.”
It’s a top line… .
I had firmly refused before, but at that time, of course, it was because Shin Hyuk kept coming to visit me.
If I keep waiting, won’t he come to visit me at least once?
It’s not like he’s not affectionate, so he might come to visit at least once, but since he’s so busy, when will he come… .
Sambong asked if he could give him some time, but he said no.
“Okay. Then go ahead and ask.”
Because Shin Hyuk has no reason to stay here unless that child comes.
Sambong draws his sword once and the door opens.
“Follow me.”
As you enter along Sambong, the surrounding background changes in an instant.
A large stone mountain is floating in the sky, and there are many immortals flying in the clouds.
“This is Mt. Bongrae where immortals live. Non-sages are not allowed to enter Mt. wait a moment.”
I replied that I knew, and after about an hour or so, Sambong and a child approached me.
“What did you say? And why did you bring the kid next to you?”
“tail… kid? You stupid bastard, you know who this is! Hurry up and bow your head.”
When the little boy raises his right hand, Sambong lowers his head and steps back.
Is he a pretty high-ranking guy?
No matter how much I have to bow my head to a kid like this, the sage world is not my style.
“Is your guy superfluous?”
“Yes.”
Sambong stared at me from behind with eyes that seemed to eat him, but is he your superior or mine?
I don’t bow down to anyone.
“As I’ve heard, he’s a very stiff guy.”
At the same time as the child said, I lowered my head without realizing it.
“radish… Did you use some spell?”
“What is enchantment? That’s because of the natural difference in rank. According to Jang Jin-in, he changed his mind after rejecting the top line once.”
“To be honest, if I just let my students know that I didn’t finish first… .”
“That doesn’t work. Originally, it is the principle of the supreme world that one should never interfere in another dimension.”
Is it not okay… .
“Then the top line… .”
“That is impossible. Since the birth of the world of seongye, there has been no chance to give a second chance to a guy who refused to take the top line once. In the first place, a personality like Lee Ja doesn’t fit the fairy world.”
“No, I didn’t choose it because I wanted to go to that dimension, it was all because of the fairy world… .”
“Tsk tsk, until when are you blaming us? Didn’t we also allow you to refuse the top line? If the person who should be on the top line refuses, it is judged that it poses a threat to the balance of the world, and the soul is freed through death. We were considerate enough.”
“I am not interfering with the world. Just like before, I’m asking that only my disciples be able to see it, but what’s so… .”
“Primal Cheonjon-nim, when you were in the world, you were my close friend and did a lot of righteous things. Couldn’t you be a little generous?”
Sambong behind me helps… no, wait. Whoa, primordial heaven?
The Primordial Heaven is the head of all immortals.
“No. It’s not okay. Look, super flow.”
“what… What is it?”
“Isn’t that the rejection of the top line you chose? Endure with evil and bullying.”
