The disciples gathered.

However, it wasn’t as sudden as last time, so everyone warmed up and prepared.

As a bit of tension filled the secret area, Geomseong looked around at his disciples and said.

“Everyone knows, right?”

“Yes!!”

“I know!”

This secret place was also discovered because Sayun’s ‘uncle’ told him about it. Therefore, all of the disciples smiled and agreed to Geomseong’s suggestion to leave the rewards that could be obtained here to Sayoon.

At their reaction, Sayun lowered her head, not knowing what to do, and Yuhui, who was close to her, held her hand tightly.

“There must be a reason why ‘Uncle’ is telling you the location of this secret place. So don’t be too sorry.”

“Yes… my sister-in-law. Sniff.”

The other sisters also said something to her, who was thrilled. Everyone sincerely hopes for the growth of Sayoon and the youngest.

Looking at them, Geomseong trembled.

“They are all good kids…”

“Let’s go in quickly.”

Even the blunt Hyeonhwi wiped away the tears in his eyes as he spoke, and Geomseong nodded.

Can you really lead well? It wasn’t that there was no question.

Still, this wasn’t a question of whether I could do it or not.

It has to be done.

“I will enter first, so everyone be careful and follow me. Hongryeon, will you take care of the rear with Ryuhyeon?”

“Okay.”

“Everyone ready?”

“Yes!!”

“Okay. The answer is brave and good. ruler. Then shall we go?”

This is how Hong Seong-moon’s disciples began to break through to the secret world.

As I entered the secret area, I felt a heavy sense of tension. While everyone was surprised by a sensation they had never felt before in the secret area, Geomseong stared at the passage.

What is flowing from the passage is a red energy.

This was stimulating Hongseong Shingong.

“Let your inner energy move.”

Among the secret areas, there are places that react to internal energy and prevent you from developing your skills. To counteract this, they use amulets made by Taoists, but it is highly unlikely that there are people who have them now.

Therefore, Geomseong gave instructions to his disciples, and according to his instructions, some of the disciples who were using Hongseong Shingong tilted their heads.

“Huh? Master. Hongseong Shingong reacts a little more strongly?”

“The energy within the secret world stimulates Hongseong Shingong. Be careful not to let the flow of inner energy get caught up in it.”

“Okay.”

Of course, I don’t think there will be any major problems as long as I’m there, but several of my disciples gained enlightenment through the secret scriptures last time. In that case, it would be best not to interfere as much as possible.

Thinking to himself, Geomseong walked a few steps and found the devices in the passage.

“…Is it a shooting star? Hmm…”

“Are you saying that Hongseong Shingong needs to control his internal energy and perform his steps so that it does not react to the energy of the secret world?”

“I see.”

Geomseong nodded at Sayun’s words.

“This secret area can be seen as a training ground for control of spiritual energy as well as control of internal energy. It may not be easy to focus on two things, but this is also important when learning martial arts. Once the level of martial arts rises above a certain level, the defense and defense of inner skills should become natural from then on. Just as if you become aware of your breathing, it will feel unnatural, if you perfectly master the movement and control of your inner energy, the difficulty in executing your breathing will be greatly reduced.”

Sword Saints are now accustomed to it, but some of their disciples cannot do it. This would be especially true in the case of Sayoon, who is of a low level in Hongseong Shingong.

Geomseong stroked her head and then walked lightly.

“Wow…”

As if to prove that it is true that martial arts can be trusted even if nothing else is known, Geomseong’s movements were perfect.

Geomseong, who passed through the passage by casting a water-flowing step, leisurely raised his hand.

Geomseong looked at his disciples, ready to use his hands at any time to prepare for any emergency, and Hyeonhwi tapped Sayun on the back.

“Do you want to go first? Or should I send the other kids first?”

“Oh. Can I go first?”

“What does it matter who goes first? Everyone has to try it at least once anyway.”

“Yes! Then, Hong Seong-moon’s disciple Sayun! Let’s go!”

Sayoon shouted bravely and took a deep breath. Hongseong Shingong was seething as it reacted to the red energy within the secret area. While controlling it, you must unfold a meteor wave based on Hongseong Shingong.

It was not an easy task for Sayoon, who was still clumsy.

Still, she put her foot forward.

My thoughts have increased since I last visited Changwoon Hall. The ‘hyeop’ that she had only vaguely thought of until now was stimulating her insides.

What is needed to collaborate?

Of course, a righteous mind cannot be ruled out, but the power to carry it out could be said to be essential.

‘I have to do it.’

I received this from so many people.

So many people are supporting us.

I didn’t feel like the expectations were too heavy.

I just think it should be done.

“Oh…”

The foot that was taken while controlling the ferocious Hongseong Shingong follows Yoo Seongbo’s steps as if it were slipping.

A soft light emanates from the pattern on the floor where her left foot steps, as if to bless her steps.

Step on it and go to the next, and the next, and the next.

Just as the stars in the night sky were moving, Sayun’s steps were becoming faster and dazzling.

A little faster, a little more accurately.

And more reliably.

Sayun’s mind, as she was thinking about three things at the same time and unfolding the Meteor, gradually became colored with one thought.

You have to do it.

When I was so focused and controlling Hongseong Shingong, who had been running wild, it became as natural as breathing.

Sayoon realized that she was in someone’s arms.

“Ah.”

“You have gained the beginning of enlightenment.”

While in a trance, I unfolded the shooting star. But did you get the beginning of enlightenment? As Sayun stared blankly, Geomseong looked down at her with warm eyes.

“What were you thinking?”

“Just… I have to do it.”

“Okay. The moment you know what you must do and try to do it, Hongseong Shingong will follow your will. Don’t forget it and remember it well. And take a break and sort out how you felt just now.”

As the other sisters tried to practice footwork, Geomseong made Sayun sit down. After being made to sit cross-legged, she looked blankly at her sisters and then closed her eyes.

How I felt just now.

The feeling of floating and the strong will to do it together remained in my head.

If it were enlightenment.

If that is a way to strengthen Hongseong Shingong once more.

Sayun closed her eyes and smiled as she replayed the shooting star from before.

mister. thank you.

I was able to become stronger.

“Phew…”

Unlike the previously unexplored areas, the level of difficulty is quite high.

Of course, it wasn’t dangerous or anything. It’s just not easy to do two things at the same time.

It was not an easy task to control Hongseong Shingong, which constantly reacted to the energy of the secret world, and carry out herbivorous work, but the disciples were persevering in doing it.

Even if it’s difficult.

“Are you okay?”

Ryu Hyeon approached Sayoon, who was struggling, and asked. Among the other disciples, Sayun was having a particularly difficult time.

“Yes. lol. If you can’t even do this, can you be called a disciple of the Sword Master?”

As she smiled brightly while wiping away the beads of sweat, Ryuhyun looked at her with concern. Geomseong shook his head as he looked at him wondering if he should stop here and let him leave. Then he looked straight into Sayun’s eyes and asked seriously.

“You can do it, right?”

“Of course!”

“Okay. Then let’s go further.”

“Master. Is it really okay?”

“Sa-yoon is getting used to it.”

To control Hongseong Shingong and to lead one’s own body.

Even though she was having a hard time, she knew exactly the path she needed to take.

In that case, all they had to do was support her so she wouldn’t fall.

“It’s the Master’s decision.”

I don’t know anything else, but when it comes to matters related to martial arts, the Sword Saint’s decision is right. When Hongryeon finally came forward, Ryu Hyeon looked at Sayun with concern.

Stumbling like that, I proceeded through the secret area and finally reached the end.

When we arrived at the large room where the master of the secret world was, Geomseong smiled.

“There are two of us this time.”

The one in the center of the secret area was Sonaksa Temple. However, unlike before, the two Sonachals were growling and flashing their sharp claws to kill those who approached.

“There is no law that there is only one owner of the secret world. I have to deal with both of them at the same time… Come on. Sayoon. Can you do it?”

After thinking for a moment, she nodded. It might be close, but it won’t be impossible.

Geomsung smiled at her.

“Then try it.”

I was excited to have received permission from my teacher.

Even though there are two Sonachals that I was afraid of at first, it is said that I can deal with them.

Growth is visible.

That’s why Sayun went down feeling happy, and the Sonachals roared at her.

-Keeek!!

-Kyaaa!!

Something came to mind in the terrible scream. The Gangsi I met at Changwoon Pavilion. Back then, the two of us faced off against a Jiangshi, but what about now?

I gained something from dealing with the Jiangshi, and I grew by returning and sparring with my teacher.

Well then, wouldn’t I be able to catch those two by myself now?

Sayun slowly pulled the sword, and at that moment, the Sonachals began to rush towards him.

It was a quick movement, but it wasn’t invisible.

He deflects the sharp claw attacks aimed at the head and legs using the Hongseong Shingong sword techniques, Galpung and Roeseon, and jumps into the gap he sees using Meteor Bow.

There were attacks from Sonachals in the process, but there was no way they could be hit by an attack that was clearly visible.

“Inhale!!”

A sword that soars like lightning with low stamina. At the same time, Sonachal’s arm bounced and flew into the air.

Anger came down along with a scream of pain.

Sayoon was not afraid.

In front of her was the light of the uncle.

Because behind her were teachers and sisters she could trust and follow.

“Phew…”

Sayoon, who was breathing heavily, briefly glanced at the sword. I swung my sword without thinking about anything. And at the end of the battle, a soft light was emitting from the sword that caught my eye.

It was like a compliment from an uncle congratulating her on her growth, and Sayoon ended up laughing without realizing it.

“Well done.”

“Thank you!”

It was quite admirable that he fought without retreating against two enemies.

Geomseong patted Sayun’s shoulder and looked back. Among some of the disciples, there were those who looked serious as if they had gained something from Sayun’s battle.

Great guys. Even under a bad teacher, you are somehow growing.

Thinking to himself, Geomseong spoke to Hongryeon and Ryuhyeon who followed him down.

“I’m slowly organizing it… Ah. okay. Sayoon. Bring your reward. I wonder what it is this time.”

“Yes!”

When Sayun returned from running inside, she was holding a small box in her hand.

While everyone was looking at him in puzzlement, Sayoon opened the box.

Seeing what was inside, Geomseong muttered in a heavy tone.

“…It’s nebula.”

Iron ore that emits a soft light. Geomseong sighed as he faced the star fragment that fell from the sky.

“It is also the main ingredient of Hyeonungap, which was one of Hong Seong-moon’s sacred items…”

Geomseong muttered lowly, recalling the sacred relics that were destroyed by the Great Master’s residence in the past, which no longer remain in Hongseongmun Gate.
