It's temporary, but the Sword Immortal whose name was engraved on the residency permit.

Let's go outside the tower.

Will he be able to come out together with us?

He's not even a summoned entity registered in the catalog though.

The summoned entities came out, but Sword Immortal-nim was not seen.

"Could it be that we can't go out together......."

A crack forming in empty space.

The Sword Immortal slipping out through there holding a single sword.

"I tracked Great Hero Bong's energy and came by cutting space with my sword."

"What about the bike?"

"I put it in the Infinite Space."

"It's a magic art like a subspace. I pleaded with a Shenxian I know and acquired one. Although it's not that big."

Then the Sword Immortal looked around.

"It's a desolate place. Don't tell me this is the world Great Hero Bong lives in?"

"No. It's a different world. And it's already ruined."

Now moving to the White Tower 1st floor.

The other summoned entities just need to be unsummoned but.......

"Do not worry. I will follow you inside. Touching this thing called a residency permit, I figured out how to enter."

Starting with unsummoning the summoned entities.

Spot! Spot! Spot.......

White Tower 1st floor.

A crack formed and the Sword Immortal came out through there.

"Here? The space separated from reality that Great Hero Bong mentioned?"

"It is, but this place is like a vacation home, and we must travel one more time."

"How cumbersome. Then you go first."

"No. We can go together from here. Riding the elevator over there."

Thus, moving together.

"Aha! So this is it. The tool for dimensional travel."

"Yes, that is correct."

"It's truly ingenious. Not opening a gate or a door, but traveling by riding an elevator."

Everyone got on together and the elevator operated.

Seu-sha-sha-sha-sha.......

Deu-deu-deu-deu-deu.......

The doors opened and.

"Welcome. This is exactly our house, the White Tower 17th floor and a separate space connected to my world."

Even the transcendent Sword Immortal seemed slightly surprised.

It's at a level that can't even be compared to the White Tower 1st floor.

First of all, the 61-story high-rise building visible as soon as you arrive.

And the residential area, the luxury cars parked in the parking lot, the wide roads, and the Gigant erected in the plaza.

The Sword Immortal was also constantly letting out exclamations, observing the space Joo-hyuk created.

"Please take a rest. I will go take care of some errands and come back."

"Vex not your mind concerning this Daoist."

I wish someone could guide him though.

"This girl shall attend to him."

If it's our Princess Dal-rae, there's no worry.

"Will you do that for me?"

"I shall ensure no harm comes to Young Master's face."

Then the Sword Immortal.

"Heu-eum, this Daoist was wondering how I heard Great Hero Bong's voice, but it turns out there was a child with a connection to me by Great Hero Bong's side."

He has a connection with Gyeon Dal-rae?

"Your master is a fox, is she not?"

"Yes, your master is doing well. Thus, do not worry."

"...Th, thank you very much."

Gyeon Dal-rae's master who achieved Daoist immortality through enlightenment and escaped from being a soul bound to the tower, the Thousand-Year Fox Hae-ryeong.

I wondered where she ascended to, and it was the Immortal Realm where the Sword Immortal lived.

With connections biting the tails of connections like this, we were ultimately able to summon the transcendent called Sword Immortal.

"Then please continue conversing. I will go request an order for the custom bike."

"Ah! About the bike."

"I would like a bike that runs on gasoline, oil, not an electric battery."

"Ayu, as you should. For a bike, shouldn't it naturally make the bu-reung, bu-reu-reung, bu-reuk! sound to fully savor its real taste?"

"As expected of Great Hero Bong. The smell of oil when gasoline combusts is also an indispensable charm."

Let's prepare it quickly.

Since I don't know when he'll leave.

I must rob a department store right away today.

I should prepare everything with the highest quality.

After Joo-hyuk went outside to take care of his errands.

The Sword Immortal sat on the plush sofa placed in the White Tower 17th floor plaza, drinking the tea, snacks, and beverages Gyeon Dal-rae gave him, and fell deep into a tablet samadhi for a long while. (t/n: samadhi = state of deep concentration/meditation)

At first he wondered what there was to watch but.

The content of another world.

It's similar to the culture of the Earth connected to the Immortal Realm, yet also different.

'I can just rest fully for a few days and then return.'

By the way, what could the Black Tower be?

The place where monsters appear, that is.

It occupies space in actual reality, yet in a way, it seems separated too.

Well, are these heterogeneous things just one or two?

Though their appearances vary, ultimately it's the invasion of the Outer Dimension against the Inner Dimension.

It must be a war where dimension and dimension clash against each other, eating and being eaten.

In some cases, transporting mana directly, or through gates, or by creating something like a tower like this Earth here, altering and assimilating the laws of the dimension, and eventually devouring it.

These kinds of things happen all over the entire universe.

He himself has also experienced it.

How vast is the world?

How many are just the number of stars floating in that sky?

One doesn't even dare to count.

The same goes for parallel universes.

Countless worlds must be existing in the universe.

Even holding it conservatively, tens of millions? No, wouldn't it be over 100 million?

While thinking about such things.

An old man awkwardly glancing at him from afar caught his eye.

Gwangma was jolted in surprise at the Sword Immortal's call.

Gwangma approaching hesitantly.

"Gw, Gwangma... sir."

"Is that so? Heu-eum, do you happen to know of the Heavenly Demon or the Blood Demon?"

"I am not well aware of the Blood Demon, but I have crossed hands with the Heavenly Demon once."

"Ho-o, if so, speak in detail about that Heavenly Demon you say you have sparred with. Along with the Jianghu you lived in."

Gwangma calmly began his explanation.

Although he himself is a Grandmaster who established a sect in Jianghu, how could he disobey the words of a Shenxian?

If told to do it, he must do it.

So he explained everything.

The Sword Immortal, having heard all of Gwangma's words.

Nodding his head and.

"I see. Your Jianghu and the Jianghu this Daoist knows are different worlds."

Gwangma thought so too.

Just because it's called Jianghu doesn't mean it's all exactly the same.

Even right now, the world of Magical Engineer El and the world of Master Sergeant Be, who share the exact same magical engineering civilization, are completely different from each other.

"Let us converse a little more. How things that are neither living nor dead are clinging to Great Hero Bong's side, and also what their purpose is."

Gwangma's explanation that began again.

The Black Tower, tower collapse, awakening, players, tower clearing, rewards, and Summoner and summoned entities.

'I think I know what it is.'

If the Black Tower is the Outer Dimension's means of invasion, the players and Summoner must be the Inner Dimension's means of defense to block the invasion.

If there is an attack, there must be a defense.

Because that is causality.

"Then you and those people intend to help Great Hero Bong and save this world called Earth No. 1,001?"

"Tsk-tsk, as if shabby half-portions could save the world."

Half-portions, you say?

"Are you curious why it's a half-portion?"

"Then let us see, try unleashing the martial art you are most confident in once."

Is he perhaps intending to give teachings?

There's no reason to refuse.

Even without that, he was in the midst of realizing his own inadequacy.

The Summoner seemed to know that too.

If nothing else, why would he advise halting the tower climb for the time being?

If he offers teachings, I must learn.

Because that is the path for the Summoner.

What importance does something like pride have?

Not only is he a Shenxian, but isn't he the person who split the Supreme Demonic Dragon Helcrassus with a single gesture?

Taking a deep breath, the moment he was about to draw up the Blood Jade Sword Aura!

"Sword Immortal-nim, please wait just a moment, sir."

"...Eung? Who called me?"

"Who are you supposed to be?"

Cossack approaching with quick, short steps.

"The self-made summoned entity who started as an assassin overcoming an unfortunate past, and became a Swordmaster by learning the sword from his father's soul, Bong Summoner-nim's right-hand man, the number 2 in this field, who even if he can't become a Sword Immortal still manages to be about a Sword King. The genius of swordsmanship, Cossack, sir."

"I will also demonstrate my swordsmanship, sir. I need teachings, sir."

There's no reason he shouldn't.

"Hand! Hand!" (t/n: asking for a turn)

"The Warrior also wants to learn."

"Master Sergeant Veronica Caliber, ready for training."

"This girl too......."

The summoned entities coming forward.

"Yes, do it all, everyone."

Thus, their respective specialties began to unfold on the White Tower 17th floor.

Gwangma's crescent sword aura cleaved the sky.

Cossack executed the Shadow Steps and Hartmann Sword Stance, and Gobang enlarged his body and smashed the ground wielding a hammer and.

Gyeon Dal-rae with talisman arts, Veronica with magic gun shooting, Bardin with radiance and shield arts, Gepetto turning into a bat and moving rapidly pat-pat-pat! and.

Tiamat swishing her tail and scattering charms, Mackenzie also pointlessly casting Fire Spear and Hellfire profusely.

Even the Blood Wolf going keong-keong with Berserk, El with optic destruction beams, Alliamari who was hiding at home and had sneakily come outside before anyone noticed with homunculi.

Everyone was enthusiastic.

Where would an opportunity to receive guidance from a transcendent be common?

The summoned entities halting abruptly at the Sword Immortal's shout.

"I understand. This Daoist will provide help. However......."

The Sword Immortal pointed his finger.

"You and you, stay out. It seems you two do not particularly need teachings."

The summoned entities pointed out were Tiamat and El.

"...Why? Why can't we?"

"Because it is not needed."

"Is there a standard? There's even a dog over there."

"Wow! Everyone is gathered here."

Rajix was also together with him.

"Oh! Great Hero Bong, did you finish your errands well?"

"Yes, I was shopping for a bit first."

"When you say shopping?"

Joo-hyuk looked at Rajix and spoke.

"Rajix-ssi, please take out everything we shopped for."

Seu-seut, seu-seut, seu-seut,

The items coming out of the subspace backpack.

Various snacks like snacks and beverages of course, electronic devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets, Western liquor, beer, distilled soju, Japanese sake, Chinese liquor, and side dishes.

All kinds of high-quality products poured out indiscriminately.

"Oiku! Great Hero Bong! It is unquestionable that you are indeed a rich person. These precious things......."

The Sword Immortal letting out exclamations.

"Please pack them away for now. To find out how big Sword Immortal-nim's Infinite Space is at the same time. And there needs to be space for the bike to go in too, so."

The Sword Immortal laughed kkeol-kkeol-kkeol and spoke.

"How grateful I am. However, I cannot take these expensive items for free. I will pay the price."

"You don't have to do that though."

"Shouldn't there be giving if there is taking?"

"Saving my life is already more than enough."

"Eo-heo, what big deal is that."

This time, the Sword Immortal took out an item.

Looks like a peach but.

It's as big as a child's head.

"Peach, it is called the Immortal Peach (仙桃)."

If it's an Immortal Peach, the peach that Shenxians eat?

This is a treasure, isn't it.

"In the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Peach is currency."

This time, the light of desire surfaced in Rajix's eyes.

Seems he noticed the value of the peach.

"I have about 100 or so. It's completely insufficient to pay the price with this, but please consider it my sincerity and accept it."

"W, wait! This is too......."

"That is right. Compared to these items, a few peaches are too paltry."

"Even so, please do not despise it. For the Immortal Peach also has its own value."

Just what kind of world is the Immortal Realm?

To think the precious Immortal Peach is used merely to purchase such Earth items.

There wasn't even time to refuse.

Rajix swept the 100 or so peaches the Sword Immortal took out into his subspace right away.

The Sword Immortal put away the Earth items Rajix took out and.

How fast both their hands are.

Seu-seu-seu-seu-seu-seu, ssu-su-su-su-su-ssuk!

The barter taking place in an instant.

As the transaction finished, the Sword Immortal looked at Rajix with a pleased gaze and.

"Magnificent. This....... What is the Great Hero's name?"

"Aha! Now that I see, it is Great Hero Ra. Great Hero Ra! Thank you,"

"I recognized it at a single glance, because our Great Hero Ra's physical body itself was different compared to the others."

"Because he's a Beastman."

"I do not mean his species."

"It means the harmony of Jing, Qi, and Shen (精氣神) is perfect." (t/n: Three Treasures in Daoism: Essence, Vitality, Spirit)

"I was going to talk about it anyway."

The Sword Immortal pointed at the summoned entities and continued speaking.

"Those people's physical bodies are probably created. They are not the original physical bodies they possessed."

Originally they exist in the World of Souls, and when Joo-hyuk summons them, their bodies materialize and come outside.

'He's definitely like a transcendent.'

To figure it out at a single glance.

"Creating a physical body according to the status of a soul is extremely familiar to this Daoist. In the Immortal Realm, no, even in Hell, physical bodies are created according to rank."

He says physical bodies are created in Hell.

"The reason bodies are created for sinners is to inflict physical pain and punish them."

"Conversely, for Heavenly Beings, that is, the residents living in Heaven, bodies are also created, and in this case, it is to give joy and happiness."

Meaning they come to possess bodies for different reasons respectively.

Only with a body can one suffer true pain and feel true happiness.

If you look into it, isn't the reason souls desperately wish to become summoned entities also because of this?

"Problems arise because of that created body."

"You can think of it as the frequencies of the soul and the physical body not matching. For example."

The Sword Immortal asked Gwangma.

"Is your current physical body the same as the physical body from your lifetime?"

How could it be the same?

It's a physical body generated upon being summoned.

"The real physical body that served as the foundation for your soul's growth has disappeared, and instead, it's tantamount to draping a newly made physical body. Then, will that physical body achieve harmony with your soul?"

The Sword Immortal continuously continuing his explanation,

"The soul and the physical body are inseparable. Jing, Qi, and Shen (精氣神) are already misaligned, so how could you advance to a higher realm?"

It was something like that.

The fact that the frequencies of the soul and the physical body are different.

That's why they couldn't develop any further.

"Would there be no method?"

"Why would there not be? Because there is, I gathered you all."

"I intend to harmonize the misaligned souls and physical bodies. Through the unification of Jing, Qi, and Shen (精氣神)."

"However! Excluding those two."

The people the Sword Immortal points to are El and Tiamat.

"That wicked woman over there is probably her original physical body. Her abilities have regressed, but she just needs to grow again so there's no need to touch her, and that golem is a bit off to call a physical body."

The reason El and Tiamat were excluded.

"For the rest, this old man shall release Immortal Qi (仙氣) to induce the unification of Jing, Qi, and Shen."

The Sword Immortal raised his hand.

"Is there a need to delay?"

The intense momentum rising from the Sword Immortal's body.

Seu-ung, seu-ung, seu-ung, seu-ung.......

I don't know where they came from but.

Dozens of smartphones flew above the White Tower 17th floor, set to video recording mode.

A few from long distances, a few from close distances, directly in front of the Sword Immortal, behind the Sword Immortal, to the right, to the left, and after confirming that they took their spots like that.

"Great Hero Bong's helpers. I shall acknowledge your mission. It is perfectly fine to call it a truly noble spirit of self-sacrifice. However!"

The Sword Immortal's glaring eyes.

"Does it make sense that those claiming to save the world cannot handle a mere wretched dragon punk?"

Placing his hands behind his back and stepping forward.

"This Daoist shall resolve it for you. As the representative of the Immortal Realm, the Patriarch of the Sword acknowledged by the Jade Emperor and King Yama, I, the Sword Immortal! Shall bestow teachings for the sake of this Earth."

Chwa-ra-ra-ra-ra-rak!

The smartphones moved noisily.

As if they were swords.

Gwangma's lips opened automatically.

"...Sword Control Arts?" (t/n: telekinetic sword control)

Because those are not swords, but smartphones.

'Phone... Control Arts?'

The solemn and mysterious grandeur of the Sword Immortal.

Stable gaze handling, vivid composition, realistic facial expression acting, perfect direction.

This is exactly the filming of a Shenxian.

Mackenzie, deeply impressed by that sight.

The wondrous energy releasing from the Sword Immortal's hands.

Intertwining like thin threads, it extended towards the summoned entities.

Seu-reu-reu-reu-reuk!

"The harmony of Jing, Qi, and Shen is the first step, unbuttoning a wrongly fastened button and fastening it again."

The smartphones illuminating Joo-hyuk and the summoned entities.

"After doing so is the second step, namely growth. Awaken to the realm. Smash your limits. You must overcome the wall. This Daoist will aid you!"

The direction that reached its climax.

As the energy touched his body.

He collapsed falling pik.

"Do not worry. It is a natural reaction. For pain is necessary to break out of the egg."

And Cossack, Gyeon Dal-rae, Gwangma, Bardin, Master Sergeant Be... even the Blood Wolf.

Immortal Qi was adjusting their Jing, Qi, and Shen (精氣神) frequencies.

Lastly, Joo-hyuk, who had been blankly listening to the Sword Immortal's directed impassioned speech too.

My head spins as if I'm feeling dizzy.

Joo-hyuk also briefly lost consciousness.

Thus, the wondrous and auspicious Immortal Qi (仙氣) began to fill the White Tower 17th floor.
