"Is there something uncomfortable?""No... Thank you for your hospitality, Cultivator Cheongmun."I face Cheongmun Ryeong while hiding my emotions.He looks puzzled but does not ask further and takes a seat.I sit down as well."I heard you came to discuss formations with me.""Yes. I saw a spell a Nascent Soul cultivator used the other day, and I wanted to create a formation based on that framework, so I came to consult with Cultivator Cheongmun, an expert in formations.""Can I see the kind of formation you are talking about?"I show him the design of the formation I have planned.Cheongmun Ryeong looks over the formation for a while and says,"So, this is a formation that concentrates strong energy to transform into life force, thereby accelerating the growth of heaven and earth spiritual plants, correct?""That's correct.""Thats inefficient. It would be faster to use the filthy methods of the devil path to refine life force and pour it in.Why do you think such a formation has ne

Chiiiiiii"Hatt!"However, at some point, she regains her senses and the two patterns that were merging return back under her skin.'What was that?'"Miss, are you alright?""Oh, I'm fine. Just needed a moment to think."She smiles briefly, then takes the magic artifact from me again."If you don't like this one either, let's use this failure as a learning experience and try again next time."She takes the magic artifacts and goes back into her workshop.'She doesn't know how to give up...'I let out a light sigh.I've said several times that I don't need a magic artifact...Is she stubborn, or just not understanding?I find a subtle sense of kinship in her persistence and unwittingly smile lightly.I get a message from Seo Ran three days later."I can let you use the Nether Crossing Ship, but in exchange, give me spirit stones..."I immediately tell the news to the Cheongmun Ryeong."The Nether Crossing Ship...?"Cheongmun Ryeong, shocked, quickly communicates back to the Cheongmun C

Piiiiiiit!Krughhmm!An immense pressure compresses the Formless Sword.Numerous colors and rays of light brush past us.I clench my teeth and endure, extracting more Pure Spiritual Force to feed into the Formless Sword.How long did I manage to sustain the Formless Sword, teetering between life and death?Flash!Paaaat!The pressure on the Formless Sword disappears, and I realize that I am above a teleportation array.The air is different from inside Serving Command Palace.Pssht...The teleportation array beneath us extinguishes.It seems that this teleportation array is also charged by drawing energy from the surrounding dragon veins.'Where is this place?'Its when I am surveying the surroundings.Wriggle, wriggle"Ah! My apologies, Miss."I release Buk Hyang-hwa, who is squirming in my arms."Phew! Oh, we made it out well."Either because she was hot from being in my embrace for a while or due to the heat in her head from the pressure of spatial movement,Her face is flushed red.

"The Ender's Tale...?"Its when Im looking at the storybook with trembling eyes."Sir Immortal...?""...Ah, sorry. I'll read it to you."I read the storybook.The contents of the storybook are roughly as follows:Once upon a time, there was a Supreme Deity who ruled the heavens.The Supreme Deity had seven beloved disciples, and one day, they had a great dispute with the Supreme Deity.The disciples left the heavenly realm ruled by the Supreme Deity and descended to the human world.The Supreme Deity, seeing that the seven disciples did not obey his command, called them Enders.But the human world was harsh, and the seven Enders shed tears of pain, longing for the heavenly realm.Seeing this, the Supreme Deity created a path to ascend to the heavens so that the seven disciples could return, and made it possible for them to reach the heavens by walking this path.It is said that the seven Enders walked the heavenly path laid by the Supreme Deity, returned to the heavenly realm he ruled

Dust scatters in the air.I swing my sword.Boom, boom, boom!Three valleys appear in front, and what looked like a mountain range at the end split into three parts.As Byeok Mun-seong panicks, I close in on him.I reach out and grab one of the hundreds of flying swords trailing behind him.Woosh!Even just in the air, the Formless Sword exudes terrifying power, and when combined with a sword, its concentration increases even more.As I overlay the Formless Sword onto the artifact, it activates and emitted spiritual energy.Flash!It seems like a fire attribute flying sword. As flames burst forth, the Formless Sword catches the flames, creating a massive fiery sword.Whoosh!Boom!Swinging the artifact overlaid with the Formless Sword, a massive fiery slash flies out, turning the desert into a glassy wasteland.Each swing brings Byeok Mun-seong closer due to his fear affecting his control of spiritual power.I grab another flying sword and swing again.A water attribute flying sword.
