Spoiler Return of the Mount Hua Sect (화산귀환)

I don't think CM is aware that jongnam could help Dongryong so it's leaning more towards family relationship.

 

I see that many people are using chatGPT but tends to use it incorrectly. chatgpt3.5 will provide direct translations, while chatgpt4.0 will only do direct translations for the first few text. Chaptgpt3.5 is quick but it tends to get names wrong and it tends to forget your name corrections. If you provide too many corrections, it starts confusing character names. When that happens delete the chat and start another.

The 4.0 will start summarizing the longer the chat gets. That said the work around for 4.0 is to 1. Delete the chat log after a few chapters and start a new chat and 2. Ask it to provide direct translations.

Remember that ChatGPT can discuss things with you. Meaning if something looks wrong you just ask it why and how.

Few corrections in the quoted summary, it's Chung Myung not Baek Cheon.

 

I just arrive after CWM and Jang Ilso finished the magyo around chapter 1080s.
They rescue a mother and child. They're the only survivor in that area. Brought them to CWM base and hire the mother to work since she has no plae to go.
But is there something else hidden about the mother and child here?
Nokrim king and CM are suspicious about them at first.
I think it's strange for the author to create and introduce normal civilians here.

 

Ah you still have a long way to go lol.
Your suspicion will be answered (*sort of) around chapter 1580-1600 I think, can't remember. I don't want to spoil it for you but if you don't mind spoilers, you can look a few pages back in this thread. Some people already discussed it.

 

I've read from page 57-79, no mention of these two.
I read the summary in this thread, from around 1580-1605 too.
My guess, is

Spoiler: ...

the child is the reincarnation of said magyo leader (but the child is still a baby, could a child be super killer and massacre Jang Ilso's elite soldier?) or maybe the mother is the traitor inside CWM

 

To be specific, it's 1602-1603. I'm gonna put it in a spoiler below and highlight the important parts in bold, read it at your own discretion.

Spoiler: Speculation

The mother and the child is probably just a red herring. People speculate (and I share the same opinion) that the mysterious figure in chapter 1603 is the heavenly demon.

 

It's him! It's Cheonma. No doubt about it. Who else can evaporate humans in one fell swoop. Leaving no traces except a little bit of scrap of clothing.

Part of 1601
The Honggyeon, who was leading, kicked the horse's side.

'Faster!'

Even though they still have time, his heart is burning.

They know that if they delay, they won't be able to accomplish what they want.

Before that hateful Hwasan Geomhyeop arrives, they must erase all that is alive in Hwaeum. May he lose everything, and finally himself, so that he may rampage as a demon.

'Faster!'

It was a moment where he tried to talk himself out of it again.

"Captain! Up ahead!"

"Mm?"

The Honggyeon frowned.

The road from the prairie to Seomseo is literally a wasteland. A vast wasteland with nothing to block the view.

But there was something in that desolate land, where there was no sign of life.

'A person?'

The person walking through the wasteland had blood-red robe worn and tattered by the wind. In fact, it is something closer to a behemoth rather than a blood robe.

Even the feet exposed under the blood red robe were not even equipped with shoes.

If he is walking through this wilderness looking worse than a beggar.......

'Is he a lunatic?'

No one in their right mind would traverse the land dressed like that.

"What should I do?"

"Sounds obvious."

Chaeng.

A sword with deadly blade ki was pulled out of the sheath.

There is no need to leave a witness. Anyone who sees them must be killed, just in case.

'Consider yourself unlucky.'

Taat!

He kicked the horse's flank. The rider lunged at the man like he was on a rampage. The Honggyeon, who approached at a sharp angle, lunged at the man's back.

Part of 1602, following what happen on 1601
......It's devastating. He wonder if that even begins to describe this sight.

Ho Gamyeong has been through countless battlefields, seen a lot of deaths, and seen the smoldering misery that permeated within.

On the contrary, that's why he couldn't understand it at first.

It was a sight like this that drew his owner, Jang Ilso, to this far away place. But on the other hand, it was understandable.

Certainly, the sight before him was horrendous and bizarre.

The only thing one can see is a rather large puddle. More precisely, a strip of land about two dozen sheets in diameter, stained reddish black against the yellowish-orange surrounding land.

There is no sign of human presence. It's only the occasional scrap of clothing or scattered bits of flesh that hint at the many people who "were" here.

Spoiler: Cheonma Jaerim Manmaangbok#3!

Ending part of 1602
Sageurak.

Sageurak.

White, shoeless feet trudged lazily through the short, overgrown bushes.

Steps that are never too fast. There's not even the slightest hint of a rush.

His face, half-hidden by a ragged blood-red robe, had not yet fully grown. However the eyes were empty, as if they contained nothing.

Sageurak.

A foot steps forward.

Without knowing exactly where he was going, the awakened person simply followed his instincts.

But he will find it eventually.

If he walks and walks, he will eventually find it out. When the moment comes when he's right where he's supposed to be, right where he's supposed to reach.

Sageurak.

The person who was taking steps as if in penance slowly turned his gaze somewhere else.

A large mountain range that touches the southern sky. And in the center of it all, a towering, rocky peak.

It was too far away for the human eye to see, but he saw it all as if he could hold it in his hands. With a pair of blank eyes.

He stared at the mountain wordlessly, then looked away again, as if he had lost interest.

He remembers it.

Despite not having been told, despite not having been taught, he knew what he had seen a moment ago.

"Hwa......san......"

He uttered those short words like a song and continued walking again.

One step forward. One step forward.

A walk that feels like it w
ill never end, but will end like a lie.

 

Speaking of which, reading the dalai lama there, reminds me of the dalai lama kid, ogum meet many years ago. The one that's having some kind of trance in front of CM.
The dalai lama kid and the baby they rescue are different persons, right?

So, it's not an adult man....right? Or it's translation problem?

 

Yes! They are different.

After seeing how overpowered our main boss is, I just wonder how they defeated him 100 years ago. it was stated they fought against him with every sword master, their sect's ace.. And Chung myung too. But he(cheonma) is overwhelming.
I will just sit back and observe.

 

Probably a young man around Chung Myung's age if we're going by the theory that they both reincarnated at the same time, assuming the young man really is heavenly demon.

 

Aside from CM and Tangbo, what are the names of the 5 heroes of the last war with Magyo? Also from what sect they came from?

 

No one in the story has explained further but from what I read so far, my guesses are: Wudang, Namgung, and Shaolin.
If I remember correctly, someone said that Chung Myung was one of the three best swordsman at that time. The other two would probably be from Wudang and Namgung. They are the only ones that make sense considering their fame and that they are sword sects. Someone from Jongnam could be one of the two but I doubt it.
