Chapter 1926 - Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1926. So a Day Like This Really Does Come. (1) And yet, it definitely had been that way... “T-this...?” Baek Cheon’s eyes practically erupted in an earthquake. Swallowing dryly, he reached out with a trembling hand and picked up the sword lying before him. “T-This is real?” Carefully gripping the antique scabbard of the treasured sword, he drew it partway. A blade of deep violet revealed itself. Baek Cheon’s lips parted slightly, as though his breath had been stolen away. “This is that Violet Lightning Divine Sword, really?” [Violet Lightning Divine Sword. Jajeon Singeom . 자전신검(紫電神劍). Ja (紫) = purple/violet, jeon (電) = lightning, sin (神) = divine, geom (劍) = sword.] “Seems so.” “The personal weapon of the Violet Lightning Sword Immortal, the greatest martial artist under heaven three hundred years ago?” [Violet Lightning Sword Immortal.

And so the sword moved, and moved again. It was light. It was smooth. At times powerful, and at times immeasurably heavy. Countless meanings gathered upon the sword tip only to scatter again and again. Like waves rolling toward the shore, the intent contained within the sword remained the same, yet also changed each time. But if someone were to watch it, they might judge it to be nothing more than an unbearably slow sword strike. A Blunt Sword. [ Dungeom . 둔검(鈍劍). Literally “Blunt Sword”. A sword principle emphasizing weight, restraint, and depth over sharpness and speed.] A principle least suited to Mount Hua's sword was unfolding through Cheong Myeong's Dark Fragrance Plum Blossom Sword. “......Hoo.” Cheong Myeong slightly lifted his gaze toward the sky.
