Chapter 59
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…!”
