Chapter 57 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 57

The chapter opens in Shinheung County, where a wandering man, identified as the Lord of the Divine Cult’s Dark Shadow Pavilion, struggles with his Ten-Thousand-Li Tracking Incense, which has become muddled by other fragrances. Despite initial frustration, he deduces that the target likely resides in a place with heavy incense use, such as a temple, and resolves to investigate Gukeun Temple. He dismisses local martial conflicts as trivial before moving on. Simultaneously, Yeon So-wol emerges from his cave, having successfully refined his body using true qi. He demonstrates newfound control over transformative workings by splitting a massive boulder with a palm strike that behaves like a chisel. Awed by the result, he flies into the night sky, perceiving the universe through enhanced qi sense, noting the cosmic hierarchy of qi and matter. He then returns to Windflow Martial Academy, where he finds Yi Yu-baek waiting in the garden, which is thick with the scent of incense and charcoal. Yi Yu-baek expresses relief that Yeon So-wol has survived his heart demon, noting that only fifteen days have passed despite Yeon So-wol’s perception of having lived longer. Yeon So-wol recounts a fabricated version of his experience, describing vivid, malicious illusions that nearly killed him. Yi Yu-baek, examining Yeon So-wol’s pulse, reveals that Yeon So-wol’s body has become an 'Elixir Furnace' with incomparably strong flames. He predicts that Yeon So-wol will reach the peak realm within three years without additional effort, far surpassing normal cultivation limits. Impressed by Yeon So-wol’s rapid ascension to the late first-rate stage, Yi Yu-baek toasts him as an 'immortal.' The chapter concludes with Yi Yu-baek mentioning the upcoming forty-nine-day rites. Remembering the horrific truth behind the Shinheung Danger-Avoidance Manual, Yeon So-wol drinks deeply and vows to take up a sword again, signaling his resolve to fight against the evils he now understands fully.
