Chapter 189: The Royal Clan Gathering (5)
“So, the inheritor of the Zhenwang Style is called the Dragon Body?”
“To be precise, it refers to a body capable of mastering the Zhenwang Style.”
“……But my master said it was a Heavenly Body?”
“It’s the same thing.”
“A Dragon Body, then…… Does that mean the body of a dragon?”
Looking at him with utter bewilderment, North Palace Chang answered with a small smile.
“Have you perhaps heard anything from him about the founding ancestor of the Palace family?”
“I did hear that he devoured a dragon……”
“You didn’t hear the details, then. Well, given his personality, I can’t imagine him explaining it in great detail either.”
Bukgung Chang sipped the tea before him and continued.
“By any chance, do you know of Fuxi?”
“Wouldn’t it be stranger not to know?”
Of course I know.
He was one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, considered the founders of Chinese civilization.
To put it in Korean terms, think of him as the equivalent of Dangun.
“The dragon captured by the founder of the Gung family was none other than that Fu Xi. The trait gained by drinking its blood is precisely the ‘Heavenly Gold’.”
“I’d rather hear facts than such absurd myths…”
Staring at him as if he were a con artist, Bu Gung-chang flushed and cleared his throat.
“Ahem, it’s a story over three thousand years old, so it might not be entirely accurate.”
“I see.”
“……I suppose you find it hard to believe.”
“Why not just say the founding ancestor of the Gung family was Chiwoo Cheonwang? After all, ‘heavenly palace’ (天宮) implies the ‘heavenly king’ (天王).”
