Return of The Mount Hua – Episode/Chapter 110. Mount Hua doesn’t vanish. (5)

Proofread : Ying

'This is...'

Jin Geum Ryong saw a red flower blooming amidst the snow flower he created.

Just one small weak flower.

Like a drop of blood in the snow that was supremely red, but utterly feeble.

However, the red dot soon creates a vivid plum blossom figure.

One after another. In an instant, the plum blossoms began to blend in with his snow.

It's melting.

Just as the snow melts in the blazing spring sun, the snow where the red plum blossoms melted gently.

‘Plum Blossoms?’

He heard that volcanoes can no longer bloom plum blossoms (as in sword technique). Therefore, everyone thought that Mount Hua would never be revived again.

Mount Hua's symbol is plum blossoms, no matter what anyone says. Mount Hua, who can't rekindle the plum blossoms, can't be the same as they used to be.

But at this moment, the plum blossoms of Mount Hua, which he thought had disappeared, bloom once again in front of Jin Geum-ryong.

Even more vivid and splendid.

"What the…!"

It’s unbelievable.

He can understand that Chung Myung's sword rekindles plum blossoms.

That's not what Jin Geum-ryong can't understand right now.

It was the fact that the snow he desperately create was melting into Mount Hua's plum blossoms.

‘Why?’

It's the Twelve Movement Snow Flower Sword.

This sword is imbued with the Southern Edge Sect's efforts over the past 100 years. Isn't it a new sword technique that contains the essence of all swords in Southern Edge Sect and evidence that Southern Edge Sect's swords are developing?

Even if the legendary Mount Hua’s Plum Blossom Sword technique is reproduced here again, the Twelve Movement Snow Flower Sword must be more advanced swordsmanship.

There is no such thing as losing to the relics of the older generation!

But.

Why is this happening?

It's melting.

It's falling apart.

As soon as the snow flower he created touch Chung Myung's red plum blossoms, it collapses as if didn’t exist from the beginning.

"Why?"

Jin Geum Ryong's eyes started to shake.

He couldn't unfold a more perfect sword than this. It is a sword that has been spread in its complete form to the extent that the word perfect is overshadowed. But why it can't even stand the shabby plum blossoms?

It’s crushed.

Twelve Movement Snow Flower Sword.

It's going to break.

Southern Edge Sect's sword.

It's falling apart.

His pride.

"Uh...…."

Everything he had piled up was now scattered in those red plum blossoms.

"No! No! NO NO NO!"

Jin Geum Ryong's scream shook the whole Mount Hua.

Chung Myung wields the sword with his indifferent eyes.

A stream of red plum blossoms bloomed at the end of his sword. Jin Geum Ryong's snow flower that touched the plum blossoms, breaks down without any resistance.

‘It’s just a shell.’

That is just a shell. No, it's an imitation of a shell, to be exact.

People around the world misunderstand the sword of  Mount Hua. Even Mount Hua's disciples misunderstood their own swords.

The plum sword technique, no, the sword of Mount Hua is a sword that creates the shape of plum blossoms. It is a sword that faithfully reproduces the colorful and beautiful plum blossoms.

There were a lot of people who misunderstood that a Mount Hua sword was completed by how more beautiful and sophisticated the shape of the plum was created.

But is that true?

Mount Hua is a Taoist.

It is just a part of reaching all the swordsmanship of Mount Hua.

Wudang uses taichi as its source.

Ashen sect uses the sun as its source. (Im not sure with this, it was jeomchang/diancang/fortune teller sect wherever I search it. The raw is 점창 and 點蒼派 located on yunan. )

Kong Tong uses five-element as its source. (This too, mtl give joint/common wave. The raw is 공동 )

The Taoists that exist in the world resemble a form of nature, and their ultimate goal is to realize the Tao in their own body.

But only Mount Hua is different.

Mount Hua only pursues plum blossoms with its sword.

When the sword of a Wudang disciple reaches its peak, it becomes the Taegeuk, and when the sword of an ashen disciple reaches its peak, it becomes the sun. And the Kong Tong disciple sword recreates the logic of the five-element to the world.

But only Mount Hua is a plum blossom. It's just plum blossoms.

This made Mount Hua different from other Taoists. It is a sect with a strong tendency to be obsessed with colorful and beautiful things.

But is it really the truth?

Does the sword of Mount Hua really only follow the image of plum blossoms?

'No way.'

Everyone is a misunderstanding.

‘After swinging the sword, again and again, making plum blossoms in all my life, I found out only after spending my entire life with the sword of Mount Hua and finally climbed where no one had climbed.’

Mount Hua's sword is by no means trying to recreate plum blossoms.

It does not imitate plum blossoms.

‘It's not plum blossoms.' (I know, it’s repetitive and doesn’t make sense. But these sentence is really complicated. In case something like this happens, I will either recreate the sentence or trying my best to deliver the context)

It's just ‘Bloom’.

"Blossom (開花)."

It’s the birth of life.

The fruit of waiting finally blooms after perseverance through the long winter.

Since it is Mount Hua where plum blossoms are in full bloom, it just painted plum blossoms. If the tip of a sword could give birth to new life, what kind of flower would it matter?

The essence of Mount Hua's swordsmanship is 'Blossom'.

Those who are blinded by the splendor of plum blossoms and possessed by the sharpness of the sword can never reach the essence of Mount Hua's swordsmanship.

Anyone who knows that what was pursued by Mount Hua's sword lies not in plum blossoms but in ‘Blossom’…. Right, there is no need to distinguish between the sword technique if you have reached the level of Chung Myung.

Even if it's not Plum Blossom Sword Technique. Even if it's not the Twenty-four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique.

At the end of the Seven Plum Sword, at the end of the Falling Petal Sword. Even at the end of the Sixfold Combo Sword, plum blossoms bloom.

That is the essence of Mount Hua's swordsmanship.

Those who live with the name of Mount Hua on their back should bear it in their hearts.

Those who do not know the truth and are simply blinded by the splendor and beauty they see will forever wander through the swamps of splendor.

Right.

Just like Jin Geum Ryong now.

Like Twelve Movement Snow Flower they created.

The appearance of the disciples of Southern Edge Sect, looking at the match with their eyes enchanted, came in the gaze of Chung Myung.

‘Look.’

How your sword collapses.

Human memory is a mysterious thing.

The image of the Southern Edge Sect's sword being broken by the sword of Chung Myung, which is more colorful and red, in the duel that determines Southern Edge Sect's fate, will be engraved in their memories forever.

Every time you swing a sword, this scene will come to mind, and every time you train, you will unconsciously try to imitate it.

In the end, even the strength they thought would not be able to escape this sword.

More flashy. Even more brilliant.

But there is nothing at the end. All that exists is nothing but emptiness.

The more splendor they chase, the deeper Southern Edge Sect will lose his sword and fall into the mire.

Even if those who believed in them betrayed.

Even if they lose the sword technique that is the center of the sect.

Even if the enemy of murim corners them into the main mountain.

Mount Hua does not vanish.

If the spirit of the volcano remains what it pursues. Just as plum blossoms survive the winter and bloom again, Mount Hua will again make their names known to the world.

But what if they lose their swords? What if they lose what they have to pursue? What if they betray their own true intentions?

Even if it is said indestructible, the sect will collapse on its own.

Now this sword will permeate the spirit of the Southern Edge Sect like poison and become a curse that will forever bind their future.

‘Look!’

Clearly!

‘What you tried to steal. What you wanted so much.’

‘I'll show you.’

This will be your everlasting shackles and supreme revenge for your ignorance.

Chung Myung's sword glided through the sky. At the tip of his sword, small plum blossoms bloom.

One. Another one.

Plum blossoms bloom constantly.

A flower bloom radiates its life into the world.

Martial arts are divided into yin and yang to form taeguk, and the taeguk is eventually divided into the five elements. The five elements make up the world, and in that world, life is born.

After all, the world is a repeat of eternal birth.

In this blossom, there is a path that the ancestors of distant Mount Hua tried to reach.

Mount Hua's disciples come in at the sight of  Chung Myung. Their mesmerizing gaze at Mount Hua's sword evoked a strange sorrow for Chung Myung.

‘This is also my atonement.’

They had to continue it, but they couldn't.

So look at it now.

This is what you lost.

This is where you had to reach one day.

"Ah….”

Hyun Jong's mouth let out a sigh.

He didn't even know why he felt this way. The scene in front of him now reaches beyond reason and touches his heart.

Plum blossoms are in full bloom in the world.

Plum blossoms, which should not have bloomed yet, are blooming profusely on the still bleak volcano.

And there.

There is a spring that seemed to never come.

Spring that didn't come even if the season changed.

The spring did not come until the boy became a strong young man, and the strong young man became an old man whose shoulders were crushed by responsibility, and eventually, the old man's hair became white and full of wrinkles.

There is spring right there, which he couldn't meet until the end even though he waited and longed for it so much.

Tears are forming around Hyun Jong's eyes.

Here it is.

Mount Hua, whom he missed so much. Mount Hua's sword, which he has been waiting for all his life.

It was right there.

A smile forms around Hyun Jong’s mouth.

Tears still did not stop in his eyes, but with that soaked face, Hyun Jong smiled brightly.

"It’s Mount Hua."

It’s here.

After enduring and enduring those harsh years, flowers finally bloom here.

"Mount Hua does not vanish."

Feeding his life, his perseverance, and his waiting, the first plum blossoms in 100 years were blooming right here.

It's disappearing.

The snow flower created by Jin Geum Ryong disappears like an illusion. Cold, bitter snow flowers are pushed out by the warm wind, and plum blossoms fill the spot.

Bloom. Bloom again.

The red plum blossoms in full bloom filled Jin Geum Ryong’s vision.

It's like a sea of plum blossoms.

It was a forest of plum blossoms that bloomed with no end in sight.

'This is... this is Mount Hua.'

This is Mount Hua's sword.

Mount Hua's sword, which Southern Edge Sect's elders were so afraid of and tried to resemble.

Jin Geum Ryong can now understand why Southern Edge Sect's elders are so afraid of the name Mount Hua.

There's something about this sword that doesn't exist in Southern Edge Sect.

It is a sword unique to Mount Hua that cannot be reached by the sword of Southern Edge Sect.

The wind blew, and the plum blossoms swept by the gentle wind began to fly in unison.

The whole world is full of plum petals.

The sight of countless petals rising in unison could not be just described as spectacular.

‘Beautiful.’

Jin Geum Ryong gazed at the scene, mesmerized.

Jin Geum Ryong, who could not be unaware of his own situation, was mesmerized by the sight of plum blossoms fluttering in front of him.

A sight that doesn't seem to belong to the world. It's a scene where the soul is sucked in.

‘What's the difference?'

Why can't he create this splendor?

Why isn't his sword so beautiful?

Why is that?

The Plum blossoms did not answer.

It just covers the world gently, splendidly, and majestically.

And.

A gently fluttering plum leaf landed on Jin Geum-ryong's forehead, capturing a scene he would never forget.

Quietly.

It lander very quietly.
