Possessing Nothing

“Son of a bitch...”

Denir mutters as he looks at Lee Sung-min, who is sitting dumbfounded. After Seong-min entered the conscious world, not much time passed. "Reality" has always been the case. It'll take about five minutes.

But in a conscious world unlike this one. Lee Sung-min had already spent 2000. It was unbelievable and ridiculous.

There have been 10 people who have been challenged by Denir so far. Seven of them collapsed without 500 years. Because they were recognized as geniuses, they could not easily overcome the despair in a conscious world where growth was forced to be suppressed. Despair drives them insane, and they fail to regain their senses when the Sandglass runs out of sand. Death in the conscious world was the death of the mind, which means it became a plant man. You cannot resurrect the dead with any healing magic and potions.

Three who overcame the trials. Each of them spent a different amount of time, but the longest of which was the 1000 years limit. More than I could bear. Solitude and madness. Humans who have endured 1,000 years have said so.

But that man has been performing in the conscious world for 2000. It was not a realm of talent. Then, is it a natural commitment? Stubbornness? Stubbornness? I couldn't understand. The human being Denir saw was not that wide a vessel. Rather, the human mind was weak compared to other humans.

But how are they holding up for 2000?

‘I had a breakdown several times in the process. And then I restored it. This is... impossible. What about the collapse of the mind? ’

for 2000 years. How many times has Lee Sung-min's mind collapsed? Nevertheless, at some point, I regained my mind and continued to perform. Is it deliberate forgetting? No, that's impossible. I will never forget the time spent in the conscious world. That's why this ordeal is terrible.

Having not forgotten a single memory for more than a few hundred years. Spending time on the move and training over and over again in a world with nothing. Growth is inhibited, so training over and over is inevitable. That's what this trial is about. Denir's ordeal is to move forward at a slow rate and gain something in the ritual time that can be increased indefinitely if he can endure it. If the trial of the mesh accelerates overall growth through successive taboos, then Denire's trial achieves mental achievement in hundreds of years of experience.

“Ah.”

Lee Sung-min's mouth was closed. Denir takes a few steps back, flawed and surprised, as Lee Sung-min gives his voice. The closed eyes opened, and Lee Sung-min blinked his blank eyes and looked around.

“Ahh... Ahh. Ah?”

Lee Sung-min's voice tingled his lips. He stumbles and tries to get up, but his legs relax and he sits down. Bloody blood poured out of Lee Sung-min's nose. Lee tilted his head as he looked down at the falling nose.

“… of course. I spent 2,000 years, 2100 years of my mind. Thank God my brain didn't explode. ”

“Thank you... yes. Thank you, thank you. Thank you."

Lee Seong-min muttered as she opened her lips. He rubs the back of his hand against his nostrils, then staggers and raises himself. Lee Sung-min glanced down at his body and tightened his eyes.

“I'm heavy. ”

“Your head's gone. ”

“Well... I've lived for 2100 more years. It's not a dream. I remember it too well. ”

Lee Sung-min pressed his temples while saying that.

“At some point, I didn't think about it. I repeated it without doing it. It felt like a machine. No, maybe the machine is better. ”

“How many times have you lost your mind? ”

“I know. There were moments when I blacked out. When I woke up, the sand was pretty far apart. ”

“You're a monster. ”

He says with a look of boredom.

“I still don't know how you did this. The breakdown of the mind is the death of the mind...”

“I don't know. ”

Lee said with a blank face.

“But I did it. I thought I'd try more... but I thought it was the limit. If I did more, I'd really be dead. ”

I think so. I've been crazy a few times before.

“Your personality seems to have changed a bit. ”

“I've lived 2100 years. ”

“That's more than enough for you. The guy who lived 1,000 years couldn't even split a limb. It's deforming that you keep your personality that way. ”

“Th-the runga? ”

Lee Lee moved his body while answering like that. I bent my joints like stretching, and I looked around with my eyes wide open. Lee Sung-min, who held out his hand, pulled up the inner air in the short circuit. Denner looks at it, frightened and asks.

“Wait, wait! Are you really going to do nothing here? ”

“Oh... yes. This isn't the conscious world. You can't swing it from here. ”

Lee Sung-min said so, dragging his feet out of the room. Denir chases after her with a face full of anxiety.

As I came out into the courtyard, I felt intense glamour in Lee's body. It was a natural camouflage. The conscious world's Lee Sung-min performed 2100 years. On the other hand, the body of reality was only sitting for five minutes.

There was a 2100-year interval between the astral body used in the conscious world and the real human glamour.

“Window... Window...”

Lee Sung-min squeezes his hand, muttering in a small voice. Originally, the spear should have been gripped at the moment I thought like this. Denir sighs, sighing, and raises his hand.

“This is not the conscious world. First, understand him. ”

“I have a deep feeling about it. ”

“I know.”

Denir moves his hand, and a white sphere is formed over his hand.

“This is your backup memory. When you entered the spirit world, I extracted only the memories you had. Take it.”

Denir throws a sphere. Lee looked closely at the sphere approaching his head.

“What are you doing? No catch. ”

“What happens if we catch it? ”

“Your 2100-year memories and pre-performance memories will be jumbled. It will help relieve the camouflage. ”

“Really?"

Lee Sung-min twitches his mouth and laughs.

“What a pathetic memory. But we do. We have some things we don't want to forget. ”

Lee Sung-min said so and took a sphere. I felt clear and clear in my head. After a while, he nodded his head.

“Phew.”

Increased memory did not mean decreased feeling of camaraderie. However, it was clear that this world was not a spiritual world. Lee lowers his hand, holding nothing, and pulls the spear out of the subspace pocket.

And at that moment, I opened the window. After opening the Nine Heavenly Moon Theatre, he opened his soul without a soul. After that, he lowered his window and entered the weather breakfast. Lee Sung-min, who was checking his body like that, laughed out loud.

“I don't like my body. ”

“Of course you are. Your body is different from your body, which has trained for 2100 years. You may have memories, but it won't be easy to get to the level you've experienced with that body. ”

“I've felt a few million times in that world that I'm not talented. I can't help it. Because that's who I am. ”

That's the end of emotion. Lee Sung-min asked for Denir.

“I'd like to stay here for a while. ”

“What? ”

“I don't deserve a place to go. You don't have to come in the house. I'll sleep in the yard. ”

“Phew… ugh! ”

No matter what Denir says, he finally closes his eyes and sighs deeply.

“Suit yourself. ”

Summarise what needs to be done

It is imperative to prevent the death of Baek Sogo. You have one year left. During that year, what a rational person should do is engrave what he obtained through his training in the spiritual world into the flesh of reality.

‘My body is tangled with the seam, the chi and the torso. ’

I knew exactly why. The innate gains from the fight with Eine led to a high hardship of the rational people, but the body of the rational people did not fully accept that innate gain. The same was true of the fight against the sword. The body moves in the direction that the heart leads, but that's it.

It was the mind that was ahead of the body of Lee Sung-min. The air and the sieve are long behind. Despite putting it to some extent through the practice in Shaolin, Denir's ordeal has re-tangled the balance of the symmetrical gas to its fullest extent.

‘You have to do a dislocation. ’

The first goal is to pierce the germ drain and remove the occipital artery. There were ‘experiences’. even though it was an experience in the spirit world. Even so, it was better than nothing.

It took me about 1500 years to get to the top of the world. ’

However, in reality, it does not take 1500 years to reach the peak. I already have a memory. I know how to use the Nine Heavenly Moon Spear, how to use the Immortal Spirit, and how to operate the Self-Helped Ball.

Lee Sung-min put down his spear and sat down with his diaphragm on. Again. Lee Sung-min laughed while thinking like that. The mind was amazingly open to itself. Although I was still unfamiliar with the body, the process of tailoring the unfit one seemed to be enjoyable.

‘A year from now. How far can I go? ’

I need to be able to go anywhere. That's what Lee thought.

Spring has come.

The young draw of the peak tilts its head toward the man coming up the stairs. I was standing here earlier, guarding the bottom of the stairs, and suddenly that man appeared in sight. It was a natural appearance as if it had been there from the beginning, so it was even more surprising that the draw caught the man.

‘Master...! ’

But the closer the man got, the more he found out. The man did not show any ferocity as if he had not mastered the art of dance, but the master master of dance knew that it was the real proof.

“Who are you?”

The voice of the draw is intermittent. At that, the man lifted up the banquet he was wearing on his head and looked up at the draw.

“Seung-jeol.”

“… uh…”

The man smiles and calls out for nothingness, and his lips snap open.

“Seong-min?”

I returned to Shaolin in a year.
