Chapter 73
The Byeok Sword Manor's patriarch, Byeok Cheol-Gun couldnt get rid of his anxiety after the regular meeting. Their current competitor, the Wind Saber Sect, didnt bother him too much. The problem was the Baek Sword Sect. He was worried about the martial arts their young patriarch, Baek Mu-Gun, demonstrated.
Something seemed different with Baek Cheon-Sang as well, which concerned Cheol-Gun. Even though he didnt think it was possible, he was worried about the possibility of Cheon-Sangs martial arts level being higher than his own. If things went south and he lost to Cheon-Sang in the martial arts competition, he could lose over the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader position. In that situation, the Hangzhou Merchant Company could cut off their support.
The Hangzhou Merchant Company spared no effort in investing in the Byeok Sword Manor as they believed that they would become the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader. Their ulterior motive was to expand their business and earn more profits under the Byeok Sword Manors protection once they had become the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader. Hence, to avoid losing their financial support, Cheol-Gun had to somehow become the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader.
Ill have to go meet my in-laws.
Cheol-Gun immediately made an appointment to meet Jang Hyun-Chul from the Hangzhou Merchant Company.
Considering you asked to meet me so urgently, you likely have something important to tell me.
I have a favor to ask of you.
A favor?
Do you think you can procure another spiritual pill that you got me last time?
Do you know how hard it is to source a spiritual pill?
I know very well. However, I need it to become the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader.
What do you mean by that? Are you implying that its difficult to do so with your current skills?
To be honest, theres this individual on my mind. I can probably win against him, but theres this uncomfortable feeling bothering me. If, by any chance, I lose in the martial arts competition and do not become the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader, wouldnt you be in huge trouble as well?
Are you threatening me? Hyun-Chul asked unpleasantly.
Im just saying that we should make sure we get things done properly, Cheol-Gun said with a shameless expression.
Hyun-Chul barely managed to hold himself back from cursing at Cheol-Guns shameless demeanor.
For now, as Cheol-Gun said, they had to ensure he became the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader.
Phew, I understand. Ill do my best. However, its difficult for me to guarantee Ill be able to get it. As I mentioned just now, procuring spiritual pills is no easy task.
I have my faith in you.
Cheol-Gun asked for a favor, which was basically an order, and headed back.
For someone who cant get anything right, all he has is endless greed.
Hyun-Chul cursed Cheol-Gun out when he was left alone. Hyun-Chul didnt see any courtesy toward him from Cheol-Guns demeanor despite being in-laws. Hyun-Chul became in-laws with Cheol-Gun solely for the benefit of the Hangzhou Merchant Company. However, neither Cheol-Gun nor the Byeok Sword Manor could do anything properly, not even during the Myth Vault incident last time. Cheol-Gun could not even guarantee that he could become the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader. Hyun-Chul became worried that he would end up gaining nothing in return for investing in the Byeok Sword Manor.
Be that as it may, it was currently impossible to take it all back. Whether he liked it or not, he had to make sure that Cheol-Gun could become the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader. Hence, he had to procure the spiritual pill that Cheol-Gun demanded. Fortunately, Hyun-Chul had a reserve spiritual pill, which he bought just in case.
He didnt tell Cheol-Gun about it to make it seem as if the Hangzhou Merchant Company had to go through all forms of difficulties to procure the spiritual pill and ultimately make the latter as indebted to them as possible. Considering Cheol-Guns attitude, however, he likely wouldnt be grateful for the Hangzhou Merchant Companys efforts. He would just think it was only natural for them to give it to him. That attitude made Hyun-Chul not want to give Cheol-Gun the spiritual pill.
Be that as it may, for the benefit of the Hangzhou Merchant Company, Cheol-Gun had to become the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader. Hence, Hyun-Chul decided to give the spiritual pill to Cheol-Gun in due course.

When the variability of the Celestial Moonlight Sword Art and the Heavenly Sea Convection Step were combined, another irregular change could be commanded from the formers inherent variability. Sure enough, the combined Celestial Moonlight Sword Art and the Heavenly Sea Convection Step resulted in unpredictable variables. Facing such techniques wouldve been difficult for someone with no knowledge about the Celestial Moonlight Sword Art and the Heavenly Sea Convection Step. However, Mu-Gun knew both.
Hence, Mu-Gun perfectly coped with the new irregularity. He predicted Cheon-Sangs movement in advance, then blocked his attack and pushed him back with the Sky-Shattering Destructive Qi. Mu-Gun had no intention to lose on purpose just because Cheon-Sang was his father, and Cheon-Sang didnt wish for Mu-Gun to lose on purpose either. There was nothing to be ashamed of about being defeated. All Cheon-Sang had to do was figure out where he was lacking from that loss and try harder the next time.
On the other hand, if Mu-Gun lost on purpose, Cheon-Sang would not be able to properly determine his shortcomings and wouldnt be able to make improvements. It was much better to compete without making any kind of concession for the sake of his growth. As such, Mu-Gun continued to drive him to a corner. Mu-Gun was becoming more and more powerful with the martial arts he was using as well. Even though he had learned the Heavenly Sea Convection Step, this was the first time he had personally executed it.
Unfamiliar with it, the first time he executed its steps resulted in unnatural movements. However, as the battle progressed, he began to adapt to it. Not long after, he was naturally unleashing its techniques. As such, the power resulting from the technique became increasingly stronger. Cheon-Sang was forced to go on the defensive due to Mu-Guns increasingly powerful attacks. In the end, he admitted defeat before even a hundred seconds had passed.
Stop! I lost.
When Cheon-Sang admitted defeat and stepped down, Mu-Gun immediately lowered his sword.
Well done.
What do you mean well done? This is an experience that money cant buy. By the way, the sword art you showed me today was terrifying. Did you really create that by observing the Byeok Sword Manors martial arts?
Cheon-Sang questioned the power of the Ten Thousand Sky-Shattering Pressure Sword Art, which was very much different from the Byeok Sword Manors martial arts.
I incorporated the martial arts principle of the Heavenly Sea Waves Saber Art with the Byeok Sword Manors sword art as the base. I think it produced great results.
You incorporated the martial arts principle of the Heavenly Sea Waves Saber Art?
I applied the Heavenly Sea Waves Saber Arts Thousand Waves Qi to the technique.
Upon mastering the Heavenly Sea Waves Saber Art to a certain level, the practitioner would be able to emit the Thousand Waves Qi, which was the aura of a huge wave. Perhaps because both the Heavenly Sea Waves Saber Art and the Ten Thousand Sky-Shattering Pressure Sword Art were based on the martial principle of the broadsword, the Thousand Waves Qi and the Sky-Shattering Destructive Qi had pretty similar traits and power. Hence, Cheon-Sang was easily convinced.
It sounds similar to the Thousand Waves Qi. Not putting the martial arts you created based on the Ten Clans of Zhejiangs martial arts to good use would be a waste.
You dont have to worry about that. If Father becomes the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader and commands the Ten Clans of Zhejiang, I will pass down those martial arts to them just as I did with the Justice Martial Sect and the Flying Lance Sect.
I understand doing that for the Justice Martial Sect and the Flying Lance Sect since theyre our friends, but Im not sure if it would be wise to pass down those martial arts to the other clans.
You dont have to worry about the Ten Clans of Zhejiang threatening the Baek Sword Sects authority just because they become stronger. It will be no issue if the Baek Sword Sect becomes much stronger than them. Rather, increasing the Zhejiang Martial Alliances strength as much as possible would benefit the Baek Sword Sect.
Alright, I understand. These are martial arts that you have created anyway, so it is up to you to decide how to use them.
Thank you for understanding.
You dont have to thank me. Lets call it a day. You did a great job today too.
No, spending time with you like this is a pleasure, Father.
Youre getting better at flattering.
Im not flattering you. I really mean it from the bottom of my heart.
Okay, I get it already, so go and rest up.
I'll be leaving now, then.
Mu-Gun smiled at the sight of Cheon-Sang speaking shyly. He then left the training hall.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
