Possessing Nothing Novel (쥐뿔도 없는 회귀)

Chapter 147 - Choice (1)

"You don't have to worry."

Wijihoyeon came to Lee Sungmin taking small steps. She then laid her head on Lee Sungmin's thigh without asking for permission.

"...because even if I wake up, I know that you'll be by my side."

Wijihoyeon closed her eyes. Not long after, she fell asleep and stabilized her breathing. Lee Sungmin felt complicated emotions as he looked at her resting softly. Although he has heard about Beyond the Heavens and the Six Divinities from Byuk Won-Pae, the Crazy Heavenly Demon, he never thought he would get involved with them in this way. Lee Sungmin helped her up after lowering his body to make sure she wouldn't wake up.

"I'll show you to your room."

Bo-hye said as she guided Lee Sungmin to follow her through the octagonal pavilion.

Lee Sungmin followed Bo-hye and they eventually reached a detached house behind the mansion.

"If you need anything, please call the servant."

Lee Sungmin laid down Wijihoyeon on the bed. He pulled the quilt and placed it on top of Wijihoyeon, as he got lost in his thoughts. It was impossible for Wijihoyeon to solve the curse by herself because she was not even in a state to defend herself. If this continued the way it was and Lee Sungmin couldn't find an alternative, he would have to try and kill the person who initially cast the curse on her.

The problem was that, just from the stories he had heard, Qian Zun of the six divinities sounded like a difficult challenge that he would have to put his all into fighting him. He remembered what The Crazy Heavenly Demon said, "The Six Divinities of Beyond the Heavens are the Great Masters that are on the peak of the Transcendence realm," and Lee Sungmin has yet to make it on that kind of level.

[That Qian Zun won't be having it easy either though.]

Heoju said.

[As I said earlier, to maintain this curse, even the caster has to sacrifice a lot. Maybe he won't even be able to talk like that bitch.]

'Even so, I don't know where he is. Besides that... touching him means to fight against the entire Beyond the Heavens Organization."

The so-called Six Divinities were all warriors of the Transcendence Realm. Transcendence was considered the best place to reach through Military Merit. The only known fighters of Transcendence were those of the political factions who were the leaders of the Wudang Sect among the Orthodox Factions, and the leaders of the Sama Order who were the leaders of the Heretical factions.
(T/N there was a time of warring between these two factions and or other forces in the past before Lee Sungmin was summoned to Eria.)

They were practitioners who didn't deviate from their humanity, but they acted anything but human. Jang Moon-in of the Wudang faction's pre-war generation seemed to be alive, but he was completely at the mercy of the world. Even if you were a long-time warrior of the previous generation, he was already a person of several generations ago, and he was so old that he treats his current masters as blood clots. On the other hand, the Lord of the Samaryunju, had not been heard of as of late and had no notable activity to be heard of. That's why Lee Sungmin was so surprised that the Lord of the Samaryunju said to protect Wijihoyeon.

Even in the huge world of Eria, the world where many people live, the two were heard to be at the edge of the Transcendent realm reaching towards the Unrestrained realm and the realm of the Great Demon respectively. The reason why Lee Sungmin was able to gain so much attention in the North was because he did not care about the Factions or the barren environment of the North, but it was also because the Bloody Heavenly Demon was not a common master. The two absolute masters of these factions were on the brink of transcendence, but because they were the leaders of such groups they could not move on their own accord.
