Possessing Nothing

“It's been a while.”

Lee Sung-min spoke to Seung-si while climbing the mountain gate. He silences the gaping mouth and swallows a gulp. I nodded my head hesitantly while looking at Lee Sung-min with unbelievable eyes for a moment.

“It's been a long time. ”

A year ago, Lee Sung-min left for Drimoor, where the volcano was, on an errand from the Foreign Ambassador. What happened on the volcano has already spread throughout Eria and has already been reported in Shaolin.

“I... I heard about it a year ago. You did a great job. ”

“It just happened. ”

Lee said so, but did not explain in detail what happened at that time. Winner felt sorry for it, but he didn't dig it up any more.

“Is the geologist inside? ”

“Oh... yes. He's probably at Ambassador Young-young's residence. ”

Seungseo replied, Lee Sung-min nodded, smiling. Seungseo joins us, closes his eyes once, and opens his eyes.

“Huh?"

I didn't see Lee Sung-min who was there until just now.

It was a sound after a year, but Lee Sung-min felt like he had come for a long time. Despite the overlaying of memories that were backed up through Denir, the years that Lee spent in the spirit world were clearly accumulated in the mind, not the body.

“… Hmm. ”

When I came near the cave where the Immortal Ambassador lives. Lee Sung-min heard that. In fact, even before the sound was heard, Lee Sung-min had noticed his movements.

“What happened? ”

Geography revealed itself. The geography that Lee remembered was not a person with a lot of expressions. But today's geography could not hide its surprised look from Lee Sung-min.

“There was a lot going on. ”

It's been a long time since I've seen the face of geography. He replied to geography with a slight baptism. Different things. Geography waved its head to the left and to the right, murmuring what Lee said.

“I heard that Lee Sung-min defeated the sword. ”

“It was a stroke.”

“Was it a good thing you defeated the sword that killed the Volcanic leader? ”

“What should I explain in addition to the phrase 'stroke'? At the time, I was weaker than a sword. ”

“... Was the sword careless? ”

“Maybe so. ”

“… when? ”

Geography sighed and asked. Sung-min tilted his head because he did not understand the meaning of the question.

“What?"

“When did you get here? ”

“Oh…”

Lee Sung-min slowly understood the words of geography and made a smile. He scratches his head in a dazzling fashion.

“It was half a year ago. ”

In the spirit world, it took a thousand years to cross the wall of a superstar. But based on that memory, I was able to break through the walls of the supernova in less than half a year. It was also because Denir's trials had greatly suppressed growth, but getting back on the road was much easier than doing it the first time.

“Half a year... Half a year. ”

“What's the matter? ”

“No... nothing. Just because I look into her eyes, I don't feel like half a year is real. ”

“It's true that half a year ago, we crossed the wall of a superstar. ”

“I know. It's just... Your eyes seem to have done more than that." ”

That said, Lee Sung-min only smiled and did not answer. Instead, Lee Sung-min grabbed the spear behind his back with his hand.

“If you don't mind, I could use some beeswax. ”

“Whatever. I'm just... a little worried. I don't know if what I'm seeing is right. If I have nothing to do with Lee Sung-min now, I will have to do everything I can. ”

“Really?"

“At least... that's how I feel. ”

Geography said so, putting both hands together in front of my chest. Although it was a frustrating geography with seventy different kinds of cultivation, Lee Sung-min knew that what he was most confident in was a mutu that encompassed both the power, the longevity, and the laws of men without weapons.

“Give it up.”

It was the moment Lee Sung-min was about to pull out the window. An old, gray voice severed the relationship between geography and reason. Geography shivered and looked at the direction of sound.

There is an immortal ambassador standing at the entrance of the cave. He was looking at Lee Sung-min with a strange smile on his face. When he met his gaze, Lee Sung-min bowed his head to the Immortal Ambassador.

“Why are you stopping me? ”

“If you two fight now, it won't end with a dancer. Unless one of you takes the fall. ”

“… Hmm. ”

I lost my low geography moaning at the words of the Immortal Ambassador. It was because the power of the rational mind was equal to that of the intellectual mind.

“Unless either of you wants to take the fall. Geography will kill you or maim you. ”

The Immortal Ambassador adds. The words halfway opened the mouth of geography. He looked back at Lee Sung-min and the Immortal Ambassador with an unbelievable look on his face. Lee Sung-min smiled as he listened to the immortal ambassador.

“You think too highly of me. ”

“Drag! Aha, you've been lying for an invisible year. What have you come here to see? ”

“… I wanted to see how far I had gone. ”

“To some extent. Compared to who? ”

“Wijiho-yeon.”

The answer of Lee Sung-min shivers the shoulders of geography. Wijiho-yeon. She was the first and only person to defeat geography and to make geography aware of the vastness of the world.

“Hmm.”

The immortal ambassador touched my chin.

“Aha. I don't know what's going on. All I know is that Ji Ho-yeon came to this mountain and told me she wanted to see Shaolin. The genius with the king's destiny hasn't been sucking his fingers since, so there must have been a big difference between the current Wiji Hoenn and the current Wiji Hoenn when he defeated geography. ”

“Compare that to me? ”

“You're not the only Wijihoyeon who came to this mountain for the first time. ”

The immortal ambassador answered without hesitation.

“I don't know what you've been doing for this year. A year ago, I heard a rumor that you killed an old man named Holy Father. I didn't believe it. You're not even a decade old to Holy Master as far as I'm concerned. ”

Lee Sung-min took it lightly. Because it was true. At that time, Lee Sung-min was barely watching the door of the supernatural, and the Holy Master was definitely a supernatural master.

“I can't believe you killed the sword that killed Holy Master. How could I trust him? I thought there were rumors going around. But now you... drag! What have you been doing for a year? ”

“There was a lot going on. ”

For the past year. Lee Sung-min lived in Denir's house and longed for experiences in the spiritual world. Half a year later, he was able to climb over the wall of the crescent cliff, and the mangrove vein was pierced to form an osteoclast.

And another half a year. I became a very high master, but Lee Sung-min was not satisfied. I swung my spear several times to get close to the ideal shaft I had achieved with my Astral Body, which I have seen in the spiritual world.

It didn't go well. The mind looks far away, but the body does not yet follow him. Eventually, it failed to completely unwind the seam sieve.

“How close they are to W. Hoyen. Are you here to confirm him? ”

“I needed some reassurance. ”

“You can't be sure. You're weaker than Wiji Hoenn. ”

“I thought it might be. ”

Lee Sung-min laughed. At this level, we did not even anticipate that Wiji Hoenn's ideals would become powerless. Lee still hasn't fully reached what he saw and reached.

'I can't see everything.'

Even if the Immortal Ambassador has great insights, he will not be able to see all of the rational people who have not done the work directly.

I told him to relax for a day at least, but Sungmin came down to worship. I couldn't wait any longer. It was because it was always on the way here.

The dungeon opens two months from now.

I did not question whether I could do it. Such advice and consideration has already been done a few hundred thousand times. Lee knew that he would eventually become desperate and bitter with self-esteem and inferiority in the answer.

So I won't.

Can it be done, instead of the question. I think I can. Lee Sung-min pressed Bang Gad on the back of his head again. I had a lot to do. The most urgent thing is to prevent the death of the Baek Seoin.

After that, we should head north to meet the Keeper, as the spirit possessed by the Immortal Ambassador advised. I didn't know who it was, but I needed to go.

After that.

Before the day I promised Wijihoen. I have one more thing to do.

I had to find Prescan.

Currently, there is a black heart in Lee Sung-min's heart. Five years had passed since he had a black heart, but he still had no idea what this heart was doing.

The only one who can answer for this unknown heart is Prescan.

‘... This is the problem. ’

Lee looked down at his heart. I want to see the color of my heart beating in my chest open. How many times did Lee Sung-min feel that urge, and did not execute it. Whenever he felt such impulse, he realized that the long-standing performance in the spiritual world had instilled a definite madness in him.

It was only a few months ago that I started to think I needed to know for sure about the heart.

Among the things that have happened since I got my heart, some things have been bothering me. When Eine suddenly attacked. Lee Sung-min suddenly realized how to use strength in a near-death situation. If he hadn't expressed his strength at that moment, he would have been killed by Eine.

There was another experience similar to that. When I fought the sword. The moment the sword of the sword was about to cut off a man's body. Lee Sung-min unconsciously reached out his spear and pierced the chest of his ear. At that time, I thought that the previous mind was forced to move in the body, but through the process of organizing the performance and experience in the spirit world, I came to the idea that it was not like that.

Lee Seong-min was still unable to reproduce the spear when he killed the sword. Despite being unconscious, unlike expressing the sword steel and being able to operate it badly afterwards, the spear when killing the sword did not reproduce.

Eventually, the thought reached the black heart. After obtaining the Black Heart, Lee Sung-min has always survived a life-threatening situation.

‘Maybe it's the black heart. ’

It was not such a pleasant thought. I remember the tears I shed when I realized the sword river. I remember the emotion I felt. He was deeply impressed that he had never reached in his previous life.

But if it's because of the black heart.

“... I can't keep the unknown in my heart. ”

Lee Sung-min murmured deeply.
