Dad Is the Demonic Cult Leader – Chapter 81

81

Chapter 81

Time flows like a river……

As the season when all things stir and grow, summer, approached, the Dawn Heaven Sect also faced a different phase.

First……

The current status of the Dawn Heaven Sect had undergone incredible growth compared to its initial founding.

Unlike Jin So-cheon’s initial worries, the Sea Sand Sect did not take any action against the Dawn Heaven Sect, and the news of them carrying out requests from Taewha Guild and the Tang Clan spread like wildfire. Recently, the Dawn Heaven Sect has been bustling with clients from all over Shaanxi.

Also, the effectiveness of Master Dongbyeok’s cosmetic and plastic surgery reached the ears of many high-ranking officials and noble ladies, thanks to which the Dawn Heaven Sect has recently secured a considerable amount of wealth.

And that led to the development of the Dawn Heaven Sect.

With ample finances, Master Dongbyeok produced a large amount of ‘So-yun Elixir’ and administered it to the disciples. The disciples, in turn, endured the ‘Asura-Naga Training’ based on the elixir and advanced their martial arts.

Just like that……

!

In just two years, the Dawn Heaven Sect was considered the best sect in Chang’an.

If the Dawn Heaven Sect had been treated like a rural ‘martial arts school’ before……

Now, no sect in Shaanxi classified the Dawn Heaven Sect as a weak faction……

Furthermore, the number of disciples has recently increased rapidly.

Jin So-cheon, who originally maintained the number of disciples at around 30, boldly recruited personnel as the sect grew. Now, with 25 members in the 1st unit and 25 members in the 2nd unit.

With 25 disciples in each unit, the Dawn Heaven Sect was reborn with a total of over 50 members. The purchase of land near the main building and the construction of annexes were also completed, and now it has taken on the appearance of a sect befitting a ‘local powerhouse.’

Moreover, most importantly……

So-yun’s martial arts and academic skills have shown remarkable growth over the past few months.

People clicked their tongues, saying that a ‘genius’ was born in Chang’an, and the Writing Teacher and Master Dongbyeok couldn’t help but be amazed by So-yun’s ever-evolving martial arts and academic abilities……

However, Jin So-cheon, her father, remained indifferent, simply observing his daughter’s growth calmly.

Of course……

「”So-yun, who was born as the greatest genius of this generation, is growing up just like So-yun. Why are you all making such a fuss?”」

It was a masterpiece to leave behind such a famous line……

Anyway, just like that, the Dawn Heaven Sect was clearly, little by little……

Taking steps towards the center of the martial world.

It wasn’t that the Dawn Heaven Sect’s reputation was as great as the Nine Great Sects or the Eight Great Families……

But still, for a sect that was founded without any particular history or background……

It was the dominant opinion among martial artists that the Dawn Heaven Sect was definitely showing a terrifyingly impressive performance.

Also……

“Including myself, all disciples will skip breakfast today. Today, we will be adding ‘extreme physical training,’ so most of you will throw up what you eat. I am a ‘nature-friendly martial artist’ who loves nature, protects nature, and cultivates martial arts based on the breath of nature. I can’t bear to see our filthy vomit pouring out onto Mount Guangyang. That is all━.”

Today, as always, following Sect Leader Jin So-cheon’s orders……

“Ughhhhhhh!”

“Uwaaaaaaaaaah!”

“Ughhh……!”

The 50 disciples went through ‘Asura H*ll.’

◈ ◈ ◈

“You……”

“Yes.”

After the morning training……

While I was catching up on some pending work, Master Dongbyeok opened the door to the Sect Leader’s office and entered.

But his expression and voice……

It seemed like he had something serious to say, and as expected,

“Answer honestly to what I’m about to ask.”

What is he trying to say that he’s taking so long?

“When have I ever not been honest with you, Elder?”

“Now that I hear it, that’s true.”

“But, what’s the matter? You seem serious.”

“……It’s nothing serious. It’s just that, as a physician and a martial artist, I’ve noticed a change in your body.”

For a moment, I didn’t understand Master Dongbyeok’s words.

A change in my body?

Has there been a change in my body without me knowing?

……I’m still too young to be going bald.

“What change? I’m still the same.”

“Oh, man. How can you be so oblivious?”

“Huh?”

“In my opinion…… you are currently experiencing the early stages of Body Transformation.”

“Ah……!”

Body Transformation……

Why didn’t I think of that?

“Recently, there have been times when your skin has been glowing. Before the duel with Yuk Gwang, when you were doing the ‘Three Emptinesses Training’ or whatever it was…… your face was clearly thin, your complexion wasn’t good, and your eyes were bloodshot for a while afterward. Your skin was also dry and rough.”

“That’s right……”

“But what about now? Isn’t your skin becoming as white and smooth as a baby’s? Moreover, the remarkable thing is your gaze. Changes in the physical body can be easily concealed, but…… the energy in your eyes can never be hidden. I see that as an early sign of Body Transformation.”

As expected……

Master Dongbyeok is undoubtedly a great physician.

Actually, I’ve been realizing that my martial arts have been rapidly improving lately.

Although I haven’t yet unlocked the power of the ‘Wind’ attribute that I desperately desire.

The essence of the ‘Thunder’ and ‘Force’ attributes that I’ve already acquired has grown, and the total amount of internal energy has increased exponentially. That’s why my body has undergone changes without me realizing it.

‘Well…… even in my past life, I didn’t practice Demonic Arts and instead learned martial arts that were closer to the orthodox path……’

Usually……

The ‘signs’ of ‘realms’ like Body Transformation, Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, Five Energies Converging at the Origin, and Returning to Simplicity tend to appear in righteous martial artists.

This is because those who pursue the Black Path or the Demonic Path often practice things like the esoteric martial arts of Tibet, forbidden ‘evil arts,’ or ‘Demonic Arts’ recorded in demonic manuals. In these cases, the physical changes vary greatly depending on the individual and the sect, rather than experiencing a consistent phenomenon.

But I, from my past life when I was part of the Demonic Cult, have pursued wholesome martial arts like the Nature Meridian and the Great Whale Heart Technique.

Furthermore, the Ten Invincible Hand Techniques, which are the foundation of my unarmed combat, and the ‘Fast Sword Style,’ which forms the basis of my swordsmanship, are not martial arts that possess a single attribute. Rather, they are applications of natural ‘phenomena’ that appear when performing martial arts, making them pure ‘fighting techniques’ or ‘killing techniques’ that are not biased towards the Demonic Path or the orthodox path……

It was perhaps a natural progression that the improvement of my cultivation led to ‘Body Transformation,’ which is exclusive to righteous martial artists.

“……That could be true.”

“Huh…… you oblivious man! How can someone who has entered the stage of Body Transformation react so nonchalantly?”

For a moment……

Master Dongbyeok asked with a dumbfounded expression.

But the one who was even more dumbfounded was me.

“Elder, does anything change just because I’ve entered the early stages of Body Transformation……”

“What?”

“Even if I have to fight against genuine ‘Body Transformation’ old masters who have lost all their hair, grown new teeth from their rotten ones, and shed their old skin like a snake right now, instead of just the early stages of Body Transformation, I wouldn’t hesitate to fight.”

“……”

“In other words, a realm is just a realm. It can’t be a significant turning point in my life, and there’s no rule that says I can’t fight and win against those who have experienced phenomena beyond Body Transformation just because I’m in the early stages of Body Transformation.”

This is……

My honest feeling.

I actually killed many martial artists of higher realms than me in my past life.

What I felt every time was that a ‘realm’ is just a realm, it can’t be an absolute compass in a fight, and the most important factor that determines the outcome is one’s mindset.

“So-yun’s Father.”

“Yes, Elder.”

“You surprise me once again.”

“How many times are you going to be surprised by me? I think it’s time you stopped being surprised……”

“Haha. You’re right. I sometimes wonder if I’m dreaming. Every time I think about you, I mean.”

“……”

“You seem like someone who’s clueless about everything, whether it’s martial arts or the way you live your life…… but every time I hear your martial arts philosophy and beliefs, I’m constantly amazed.”

“I’m…… quite serious about martial arts.”

“No, who isn’t serious about martial arts in this world?”

“……”

“But you’re young, yet…… how should I put it? You have a certain air of a grandmaster who’s experienced everything.”

“Have I done something wrong to you? Why are you suddenly praising me like this……”

“Chuckle. I’m serious. Even someone like the Sword Emperor, who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts, would probably have an epiphany if they discussed martial arts with you.”

“Speaking of which…… you said you were close with the Sword Emperor, the one they call the best in the martial world?”

“That’s right. We were close when we were young.”

“Then what are you doing now?”

“……What?”

“I’m saying, why haven’t you invited him to the Dawn Heaven Sect even once if you’re so close with him?”

“……”

“What’s the point of having friends like that? If someone like that frequently visits the Dawn Heaven Sect, how much would our status rise?”

“You…… you’ve become quite worldly. Back when you were living in my mountain villa, you were full of humility and modesty…… Tsk tsk.”

Master Dongbyeok chuckled and clicked his tongue at my joke.

I also giggled, finding it funny, and spoke again.

“So, Elder……”

“What?”

“Let’s invite the Sword Emperor sometime.”

“???”

“I’ll give him an epiphany.”

◈ ◈ ◈

The next day━.

“Brotheeeeeer!!!”

For some reason, Yeon-u was making a big fuss early in the morning before breakfast.

I frowned and asked him.

“What’s with all the commotion?”

“Brother, brother! It’s a huge deal, a huge deal.”

“Just tell me what it is.”

“Look at this!”

Yeon-u, with a face as excited as a child’s, held out a letter. The contents of the letter were:

『To Sect Leader Jin So-cheon.

Sect Leader Jin, it is Seok Dae-bang of the Seokga Estate.

I am delighted that your reputation and that of the Dawn Heaven Sect are growing day by day, and I too am cheering for the development of the Dawn Heaven Sect from afar.

First of all, I sincerely congratulate you on the success of the transportation business you started, and as a father who entrusted his incompetent son to you, I am grateful.

The reason I am sending you this letter today is because of a major event that has occurred in the martial world.

A few days ago, I received a message from my master, Cheongmun Sword Master. It was news that the ‘Martial Heroes Tournament’ hosted by the Martial Alliance will be held.

Also, I heard that the Martial Alliance currently hopes that you will participate in this tournament.

It seems they are taking into consideration your victory against the Guardian Messenger of the Cult of the Evil Path. Moreover, since this tournament is not just for the righteous sects but for the entire martial world, including the black and evil factions, they believe that your participation, as someone neutral, will play an important role in the harmony of the martial world, regardless of black or white.

Because of this, I received a ‘strict order’ from my master to invite you.

Of course, how could I ‘force’ a busy Sect Leader like you? But, using our past friendship, I earnestly request you to consider it.

I truly hope you will give it positive consideration.

P.S. I heard that Yeon-u told you about the Seokga Estate’s business strategies related to the transportation business and other ventures.

I was pleased to hear that, and I am truly curious if it was helpful to you, Sect Leader.

The weather is hot.

Please be careful in the heat, and I wish you good health.

Respectfully yours, Seok Dae-bang, Clan Head of the Seokga Estate.』

That’s how it was……

But this guy……

He’s not giving me any room to escape.
