Chapter 96 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 96

A week after consuming the Profound Enlightenment Elixir, Yeon Sowol awakens floating in the Xiang River. Reflecting on his sudden enlightenment, he contemplates the paradox of Daoist 'Reverse Cultivation': returning to the source grants limitless potential but sacrifices specialized, targeted power, making control difficult in combat. He struggles with the weight of this new understanding before climbing out, embarrassed by his past drunken antics in Hengyang’s streets. He returns to an inn where Jin Geol, Won Huiseung, So Hye, and Yu Hyeon are waiting. Jin Geol’s condition improved visibly, while Won Huiseung cannot verify his progress due to lack of lightning storms. Yeon Sowol confirms his qi subtlety has tripled and explains his core insight: that all things are connected. The group reacts with awe, particularly Won Huiseung, who marvels at Yeon Sowol’s direct experience of concepts only found in scriptures. When Yeon Sowol asks how to manage the increasing control required by this harmony, the male disciples admit their limits, but So Hye offers a solution: comparing the state to infancy, where purity of potential coexists with retained capability. Yeon Sowol accepts this clue, deeply grateful. In return, he grants So Hye’s request to join his journey to Yueyang Tower and Dongting Lake, accompanied by Yu Hyeon. The group visits the Hengshan Sect leader for final farewells and gold gifts. Departing north, Yeon Sowol feels the stiff manual of Wudang’s Cotton Palm Art in his chest, eager to reach Yuezhou to build a reputation and access Wudang’s teachings, driven by his heart’s newfound rhythm.
