Chapter 236: His and Their Time – Part 1
Gwanggeom Tomb, Dechang, Sichuan Province.
The place where the remnant of the absolute being, the Sword Demon of the Vast Gorge, Jeong Myeong-gang, had lain dormant for over fifty years remained hidden and unknown to anyone for a full forty years, until Seon Woo-jin and Dang Yeo-eun entered it.
Thus, the Sword Demon Jeong Myeong-gang had to endure forty years of profound solitude, dwelling alone in that place where no one ever entered.
It was all the price he paid for his decision to forgo rest even in death, so he could pass down the Moonlit Sword Dance to future generations.
Honestly, it was difficult.
It was an incredibly arduous time.
Though he had already ascended to the realm of the absolute while alive, and even in death only his consciousness remained, even for him, over forty years of solitude could not help but be an unbearable ordeal.
He had contemplated giving up and seeking rest countless times within the flow of time he could not even grasp.
At least, that had been the case until recently.
That is, until recently, when more than ten people entered the Sword Tomb all at once.
“Hey, teach me already!”
“Teach you what?! You won’t even join the sect, yet you ask me to teach you another school’s secret techniques?!”
“You just taught our lord?!”
“Are you and that guy the same?! Ah, just get out of my way! I need to train too!”
“Ugh, that’s so unfair! Seriously! You think I’ll give up if you play dirty like that?! I’ll never quit!”
