The Martial God with Psychic Powers

chapter 235


Hwa Sogwang raised his hand, stopping the elders who were about to speak.“Enough. You know, don’t you? Once I make a decision, I do not overturn it lightly.”They knew it all too well.“I have already resolved to serve him. So now you must decide. Will you follow me and serve him as well, or will you leave? If every last one of you opposes, then I will be the one to go.”He said he would leave himself.At that moment, the Young Palace Lord at the very front threw himself to the ground and cried out.“I will follow!”That was the beginning.The subordinates prostrated themselves in waves, their voices thundering.“We will follow!”The elders were no exception.At first they were bewildered, but these were not men who would abandon Hwa Sogwang.To them, Hwa Sogwang was their master.“As the Palace Lord says, we shall serve him as our lord.”At this declaration from his subordinates, Hwa Sogwang’s eyes welled up without his knowing.“Thank you, for always following a man as headstrong as I am.”“What are you saying! Who among us has not received your grace, Palace Lord?”“That’s right! To repay the grace we’ve received, we would follow you in anything!”And so people became curious.Who was the man that had captivated Hwa Sogwang so completely?What kind of person could he be? ****“Huh? Isn’t that the escort procession the Palace Lord mentioned?”“It is, isn’t it? Shincheon Escort Bureau. Hurry, send word inside!”“Gather the people at once! Prepare to welcome them!”“Understood!”As soon as the banner of the Shincheon Escort Bureau appeared in the distance, the guards on duty grew frantic.This was the arrival of the procession carrying the one Hwa Sogwang had called his lord.As Shincheon Escort Bureau drew near, the massive gates of the Blazing Fire Divine Palace began to swing open.When the gates opened, lines of people spread out to either side.“Welcome to the Blazing Fire Divine Palace!”Seeing the disciples of the palace welcoming them so fervently, Yeon Woo Jin laughed.Just how much had Hwa Sogwang driven them that they moved so uniformly, so disciplined, to greet his procession?Thinking of Hwa Sogwang’s nature, he could already picture what must have taken place.Buildings and pathways gleamed as if newly built. The hardship they had endured was written all over it.The warriors who stood to greet the Shincheon Escort Bureau kept darting their eyes about.Which one of these men could be the master of their Palace Lord?The thought of their labors until ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) now flashed before their minds.They had not been worn out from battle, but from scrubbing and polishing. For the first time in their lives, they were exhausted from cleaning.To scrape the moss from between the stones, they had poured their martial strength into it. They had mobilized every method they knew to make the buildings look new.Thus, the warriors of the Blazing Fire Divine Palace had become masters of cleaning.At first, they thought perhaps the Alliance Leader of the Demonic Factions was coming.If it were a figure of that stature, they could understand why the Palace Lord was acting this way.And yet, even if the Alliance Leader came, this was excessive.But the ones arriving were not the Alliance Leader—just an escort bureau.One they had never even heard of before.It made no sense, but they obeyed the Palace Lord’s orders.Later, when they learned the reason, they were stunned.For now, only one question consumed them.Who could be their new lord?As that curiosity swelled, Hwa Sogwang suddenly came running with all his strength.“We greet the Palace Lord!”Ignoring the greetings of his warriors, he strode straight past them.Then he stopped before a young man and dropped to his knees, crying out.“I, Hwa Sogwang, pay respects to my lord!”The entire Blazing Fire Divine Palace went silent in shock.At last, their new lord was revealed.He was but a youth.Had he even reached twenty?Was their Palace Lord mocking them?All kinds of doubts filled the subordinates’ minds.Yet the young man received Hwa Sogwang’s obeisance with utter naturalness.This was no act.He truly regarded Hwa Sogwang as his subordinate.Meanwhile, Yeon Woo Jin’s gaze swept over the disciples of the Blazing Fire Divine Palace.Their expressions were filled with confusion.They had reluctantly agreed to follow Hwa Sogwang’s will, but was this truly the man they must serve?Hwa Sogwang too raised his head and glanced about, seeing that no one else had prostrated themselves.His expression hardened sharply.Seeing it, the warriors hastily dropped to the ground.“W-we greet the lord!”“We greet the lord.”Only then did everyone bow, giving Yeon Woo Jin their respects.Hwa Sogwang turned to him with an apology.“F-forgive them, my lord.”“It’s fine. This is our first meeting—of course it would be so.”“I should have conveyed your greatness more properly… I failed in that duty.”“I’ll help you.”“…What?”Help him? With what?As Hwa Sogwang tilted his head, Yeon Woo Jin spoke softly to the kneeling crowd.“You must all be bewildered, suddenly being told to serve a man you don’t even know as your lord.”Though his tone was low, every person present heard it as if spoken beside their ear.The people were startled.And that was only the beginning.“Eh?”Suddenly their bowed bodies rose on their own.An invisible force, irresistible, lifted the thousands gathered there to their feet.Who could possibly—?All eyes turned to Yeon Woo Jin.He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, utterly at ease.No strain touched his body.“I dislike forced greetings made without sincerity. Everyone, rise.”It was real.The one who had lifted them was none other than the new lord they were to serve.Not one or two, but thousands of warriors, raised effortlessly by unseen energy.Was such a thing even possible?Could even their Palace Lord do this?No.Only now did they feel, in their very bones, the overwhelming might of Yeon Woo Jin.The lord they were to serve was an existence beyond human limits.“Ah! And I brought gifts as well. Let me share them with you.”Gifts?At his words, the wagons behind them shifted. Their covers flew back, revealing countless daggers stacked within.All at once the daggers surged into the air, filling the sky.The sight drew gasps of awe.Could such a display truly be within human capability?“Wait… are we still being held by his unseen energy?”“What?”The realization spread shock.Indeed, he had raised thousands of men with invisible force—yet still, simultaneously, countless daggers floated above.But what did he intend, suspending them so?Just as suspicion stirred, the daggers began to move.As though each had found its master, one floated before every man present.He had given each of the thousands gathered a dagger.It was beyond belief.This was not merely levitation—it was control, hurling blades freely according to his will.Sword Control by Qi.A realm said to be attempted only by those at the Profound Realm or higher.Yet Yeon Woo Jin moved not one or two, but thousands of blades at once.The people understood, without a doubt.Their new lord was no mere man.He was a divine being.Now they grasped why Hwa Sogwang had submitted to him.“Take them.”At his words, the invisible energy vanished from their bodies. They reached out and seized the daggers hovering before them.And without anyone bidding them, they fell to their knees once more.From the bottom of their hearts, they cried out.“We pay respects to our lord!”Seeing their response, Yeon Woo Jin winked playfully at Hwa Sogwang.Knowing full well that Woo Jin had acted thus deliberately to aid him, Hwa Sogwang was moved to the depths of his heart.“Thank you, my lord. I, your servant, will devote my life to you.” ****A grand feast was held in the Blazing Fire Divine Palace.The Young Palace Lord and the elders remained by Yeon Woo Jin’s side.When they learned the identities of those who attended him, they were shaken.“T-that woman… is the Sword Queen of the rumors…”“A-and the Green Forest Grand Emperor…”The sight of the Sword Queen and the Green Forest Grand Emperor attending Yeon Woo Jin like attendants shocked them beyond words.Nor was that all.The Five Great Clans of the Central Plains had already submitted to him, and most of the Nine Orthodox Sects followed him as well.What in heaven’s name was his true identity?As they pondered, Hwa Sogwang formally introduced him.“Our lord is the one who will one day lead Musincheon.”“M-Musincheon?”“What do you mean? Are you saying our lord is connected to Musincheon?”At the elders’ questions, Hwa Sogwang nodded.“Yes. Our lord is the sole grandson of Ilmusin Yeon Cheon Baek, the Supreme Master of Martial Deity Heaven.”“What!”“Heavens!”“Good lord above!”Astonishment rippled through them.They realized:For the next hundred years at least, the world would belong to Musincheon.—When the feast ends, gather together. There is something important to discuss.At Hwa Sogwang’s words, the leadership of the palace nodded. ****Late that night, after the banquet ended.The leadership of the Blazing Fire Divine Palace gathered in the Palace Lord’s chambers.“The reason I’ve called you is to have you show your disciples to our lord.”“Our disciples?”“Yes. Our lord will make them strong.”“What?”“Our lord’s ability reaches the heavens. Even I have yet to see the true limit of it. One of those abilities is to draw out a person’s potential to its utmost.”“Is… is that truly possible?”“Yes. No ordinary chance encounter can compare to what our lord bestows. It is not just any opportunity—it is a once-in-a-thousand-years fortune.”“Could such a thing be possible for a human?”As they asked again and again, disbelief plain on their faces, Hwa Sogwang chuckled.“I am the very one who experienced that miracle.”“What?”“What realm was I before?”“As far as I know, you were at the Five-Star Manifestation Realm.”“Correct. I was at Five-Star Manifestation. But now, I am at Seven-Star Manifestation.”“What? C-could that be true?”“Yes. A gate I thought would never open, our lord made it easy for me to cross. And not one, but two whole steps.”Yeon Woo Jin had only given him an opportunity.All Hwa Sogwang had needed was a small realization.Yet he credited even that to Yeon Woo Jin.And those who heard it misunderstood, thinking Yeon Woo Jin had forcibly opened his gates.From Hwa Sogwang’s words, their reverence for Yeon Woo Jin swelled without end.“But… must it only be our disciples shown to him? What of us?”At their words, Hwa Sogwang smiled knowingly.How could he not see their hearts?“I shall make the request of our lord.”At this, their faces lit with joy.“Thank you!”“No thanks needed. Are we not one family? We must help one another.”At his words, their eyes grew moist.At first, some had felt uneasy about him handing over the entire palace to Yeon Woo Jin. But now, that feeling was gone.To them, Hwa Sogwang was an undeniable benefactor.“You must grow stronger, so our Blazing Fire Divine Palace will grow stronger. That way, when our lord ascends as Musincheonju, our palace can stand among the highest ranks of Musincheon.”“The highest ranks?”“Yes. New wine goes into new jars. Since the master of Musincheon has changed, its order must change as well. Our goal is to enter the top ten.”At his words, the leaders all nodded with resolute faces.Seeing it, Hwa Sogwang smiled in satisfaction and rose.“Then I will go to our lord and tell him of you. You, prepare your disciples.”“Yes!”
