The Seven Demons Black Sky Divine Skill

It was a unique martial skill created by Seo Sumin, the peerless martial artist of the ancient era and the heavenly demon of all people.

Its power was not unworthy of the name divine skill, as Yu-hyun had already witnessed. Perhaps it was even more than that.

After all, it was a skill that allowed a mere mortal to defeat a second-generation spirit, albeit in an incomplete manifestation.

“You’re going to teach me that skill? To me?”

“Of course.”

“Are you allowed to teach it to anyone you want?”

“Why not? It’s my own creation after all.”

“But still...”

“It’s up to me whether I want to teach it or not.”

“...”

That’s true.

Yu-hyun had no argument. He realized that it was indeed the case. It was not like she had learned a secret skill that only one person could pass on. She had invented and created her own skill, and she wanted to teach it to him. Who could say anything about that?

“Besides, I want to teach you for personal reasons. You may not know this, but your body is very suitable for my skill right now.”

“That much?”

Yu-hyun said so, but he knew very well how amazing his body was right now.

It was a body reconstructed with the ‘fruit of life’ from the scripture. Even though it was a small fruit that had not fully ripened, it was more than enough.

“Of course, it’s not perfect or ultimate. But it’s more than enough. I hate to admit it, but your body is much more compatible than my previous life. So be grateful. This is not something you can easily learn if you want to.”

“No...”

Yu-hyun tried to say something, but stopped.

No matter how he thought about it, this was an opportunity given by heaven.

And it was not him who begged her to teach him, but Seo Sumin who offered to do so.

It was more than just fate, it was a crucial chance that came to him on its own.

But still.

“What are you hesitating for?”

Seo Sumin smiled as if she could see through his inner thoughts.

“You’re not sure about it, are you?”

“...Well, yes.”

“Hmm. Even though you’ve seen me use the skill, you still say that...”

Seo Sumin swallowed her words. She realized what he was aiming for.

‘Ha. I never thought I would get such an evaluation for my skill. If it were before, I would have been outraged, but somehow I can understand why he would think so.’

Seo Sumin had learned something from talking to him a few times.

This man was looking at something very big that others didn’t know.

Even when others were blinded by the immediate benefits, his eyes were on something farther and bigger.

She was right.

Yu-hyun acknowledged the power of the Seven Demons Black Sky Divine Skill, but he also wondered objectively whether that power would work in the world he envisioned for the future.

‘I need a main skill too. It wasn’t that important before, but now it’s different.’

Kang Hye-rim had the Heavenly Thunder Sword, and Kwon Jia had the Snow Heaven Divine Flow.

But Yu-hyun didn’t have a clear skill yet.

He had a few chances to get one before, but he deliberately refused them.

‘A main skill is not just a skill. It’s a story that I have to cultivate and polish in the future. In other words, once I awaken and immerse myself in it, most of my power will be bound by that skill.’

Yu-hyun looked at the distant future.

He even considered fighting against spirits in the worst case scenario.

The beings of the stars.

They were far beyond his level right now.

To fight against them, he needed a story that matched them.

That’s why he did it.

He didn’t even bother with mediocre stories.

‘If I have to learn one main skill, it must be able to reach the sky.’

That’s what he wanted.

He wanted to use his knowledge of the future to obtain that power.

But it wasn’t easy.

Knowing the future didn’t mean he could do anything.

The flow of the world was very fluid and could change with even small things.

In that flow, he couldn’t just pick what he wanted with his knowledge alone.

If he had to learn something, it had to be a skill of extremes.

It had to be able to stretch out its hand and touch the sky. No, that wasn’t enough.

It couldn’t stop at touching the sky.

It had to grab the stars with its hand.

That’s why he hesitated.

He wasn’t sure about Seo Sumin’s skill.

That was the reason.

Seo Sumin read his mind and pulled back her body, smiling with her eyes.

“Do you want to grab the sky?”

“...!”

Yu-hyun was shaken.

Sumin stretched her slender hand towards the ceiling.

“If I could reach out this hand, and grasp that sky.”

It was the story that developed and changed into skills and titles.

Seo Sumin widened her eyes as if she didn’t know that.

“There was such a thing? How do I check it?”

“Say ‘status window’.”

“Status window?”

“Yes. Say it with sincerity, with all your soul. Say it loudly.”

“Do I have to do it like that?”

“Don’t you want to do it?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to...”

Yu-hyun spoke seriously, and Seo Sumin hesitated a little as if she felt pressured.

“Sta, status window.”

“Louder.”

“Status window!”

“You’re not sincere enough. Louder!”

“Sta, status window!!!”

Seo Sumin shouted with a flushed face.

It was so loud that it seemed to shake the room. But nothing happened.

Her puzzled eyes soon turned to Yu-hyun’s face.

He was holding back his laughter.

“I didn’t think you’d really do it.”

“...!”

Seo Sumin punched Yu-hyun with her fists, her face red with anger.

Kang Hye-rim, who was watching the scene, turned her head and suppressed her laughter, and Kwon Jia also bit her lips slightly.

“Yo, you jerk! How can you play such a prank on someone who’s going to be your teacher!”

“Hehehe. You were too serious, so I just wanted to tease you. Oh, okay, okay. I won’t do it anymore, so stop hitting me. It hurts.”

“How can my punches hurt you when I’m not even using my inner power? You’re much stronger physically than me.”

“Anyway, since you’re a collector now, you should know how to use the Genesis Network. You know how to use the internet, right?”

“...Do I look like I can’t use modern technology?”

Surprisingly, Seo Sumin was good at using smartphones.

Yu-hyun said it would be easy then.

“You can use the Genesis Network just like you use the internet or a smartphone. It was originally built on that framework.”

“Oh.”

He showed her how to do it, and Seo Sumin quickly used it.

The Genesis Network window could be opened anytime as long as there was will.

Seo Sumin followed his instructions and soon found her status and the new stories she had acquired.

“It’s here. I got two stories this time.”

“Two?”

“Yeah. One is called ‘Heavenly Demon’.”

“It must be because it was a world created from your memories. That makes sense.”

“And the second one is... Impermanence.”

“Impermanence?”

“Do you know what that is?”

“Yes. Well, more than knowing, it’s just famous.”

Impermanence was one of the enlightenment teachings in Buddhism.

It meant that everything, whether material or spiritual, changes constantly.

The problem was why Seo Sumin had such a story...

‘Chulapantaka.’

Yu-hyun instinctively realized that he had something to do with it.

‘Did he pass on his power before he died? Why?’

He couldn’t understand why Chulapantaka, who was determined to destroy himself while trying to kill her, gave her such a story.

‘Maybe it was a whim at the last moment. Well, whatever happened, it’s good.’

The story of Impermanence contained an immense enlightenment.

The meaning of the letters was not simple.

It encompassed the whole process of a human being realizing everything and attaining nirvana.

“What a strange guy.”

Seo Sumin seemed to realize who gave it to her too, and muttered with a bit of resentment.

“He tried so hard to kill me back then.”

“Maybe he changed his mind. He gave you something like this after all.”

“I’m still not grateful. Do you think this will make me forgive him?”

“By the way, can a spirit directly give such a story as a reward?”

Kang Hye-rim asked.

Yu-hyun stroked his chin.

“Well, usually spirits only have points when they want to support someone.”

In Honsunggye, they called it ‘simple support’.

On the other hand, what Chulapantaka did this time was not simple support, but a much higher level of ‘direct support’.

It was a level that could never be shown on Earth right now.

“Since we’re on the topic, let me explain it to you.”

It wouldn’t hurt to know the concept of direct support in advance.

Someday, it would happen on this Earth too.
