Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 361

Nangseon’s Adventures – Part 2, Episode 70

Returning Home in Glory.

It refers to returning to one’s hometown in triumph, adorned in silk robes after achieving success.

Perhaps the phrase ‘returning home in glory’ suits Cheonbeom best right now.

At least, Saha thought so.

“Golden Celestial is returning as a Grade 4 civil and military official!”

“I knew it!”

“Hey! Did you think I didn’t believe it?!”

“Hahaha!”

The residents of Sangseo were overjoyed, as if it were their own accomplishment.

Sangseo was bustling with excitement, ready to throw a feast just because Beom had returned.

The small village had grown significantly in the short time he had been away.

Many new buildings had sprung up, and the streets were crowded with vendors selling various goods and people haggling over prices.

“I’m feeling generous! I’ll unleash the liquor I’ve been researching for this day!”

“It’s Elder Tango-mal’s Tanma Brew!”

“Oh, are you really going to unleash that?!”

“I, Tango-mal, never go back on my word, you punks!”

Tango-mal immediately pulled out ten liquor jars from his chest and opened their lids.

A refreshing sound, one that Saha had heard somewhere before, leaked out.

“Tango-mal, isn’t that Yongma Brew?”

The color and aroma were very similar to the Yongma Brew from the Hwang family that Saha had first tasted when ascending to the Upper Realm.

“Hmph, Yongma Brew, you say? This is Tanma Brew.”

“I wondered what he was doing holed up all this time, but it seems he restored the Yongma Brew.”

Saha whispered slyly.

‘Anyway, he’s a cultivation fanatic when it comes to alcohol, so it wasn’t that surprising,’ Saha thought.

There’s no reason to dislike it since he brought out the liquor he had saved for himself.

Beom took an empty glass and scooped up a generous amount of Tanma Brew.

As he raised his glass, everyone gathered in Sangseo looked only at Beom.

Their eyes seemed to expect him to say something.

“Um…”

Cheonbeom, feeling awkward, hesitated before deciding to just spread his energy, causing the sky to ripple with golden waves.

“For Golden Celestial!”

“For Golden Celestial!”

“For the civil and military official!”

“For Sangseo!”

Everyone shouted their toasts and gulped down the liquor.

Beom, also in a good mood, drank it down smoothly.

“What, you came too?”

“I just came to get some booze.”

Before Saha knew it, Saak was also enjoying a drink.

Saha once wondered what would become of him, but he seemed to fit in well with Sangseo.

It is said that Saak and the merchants of the Sa family took charge of Sangseo in Saha and Beom’s absence.

“Keep this.”

With a flick, Beom threw a piece of Refined Iron at Saak, who asked what it was.

“Miseon Stone [a rare and valuable mineral]. I scraped up all the ones the Hu family had stockpiled. It should be enough to last you a thousand years.”

“Miseon Stone?! You mean real Miseon Stone?!”

Saak mainly works on crafting magical artifacts in Geukyangsangsan.

For him, the Miseon Stone, which is also supplied to the Water Palace, seemed like a pretty good gift.

“It’s incredibly expensive. Use it well to make artifacts for the cultivators of Sangseo first, and then sell the rest for a high price.”

“Is it okay to do that? This precious thing…”

“It doesn’t matter.”

‘I plundered the entire mountain range,’ Beom thought.

Saak said he couldn’t be standing around like this and immediately jumped up.

“Hey, you just got here, where are you going?!”

“Shut up, you drunken bum! I need to work with the Miseon Stone right now!”

After bickering with Tango-mal, he quickly flew away.

“Seriously… what did he give him to make him act like that?”

“You’ll find out later.”

Saak’s skill in making magical artifacts is gradually gaining fame.

If he succeeds in forging artifacts with the addition of Miseon Stone, his position will become even more solid.

Even though the Hwang family is gone, it is originally a place close to Chunggye.

Sometimes, divine insects are carried by the wind and cause headaches.

It is said that the Sa family’s lesser immortals, armed with Saak’s artifacts, are stepping up to exterminate the divine insects.

‘If I give him the Miseon Stone, he will take care of it,’ Beom mused.

‘There are some among the Sa family’s household immortals who have outstanding talent, so it’s good to treat them well.’

They may be lesser immortals now, but as time passes, they may become upper immortals, and if they gain great enlightenment, they may even become fragrant immortals.

“Hic, Father… Hic, Brother…”

Turning her head, Saha saw Huhae already drunk and crying, and U-myeong watching him to prevent him from doing anything strange.

Tamhwa is inside the Refined Iron, eating the Earth Tortoise Dragons one by one.

“Okgyeong-ah!”

Tango-mal called Okgyeong again and mixed several liquors, claiming it was his own secret blend, and offered it to others, saying he had found the perfect combination.

“Ew, spit!”

Those who drank the liquor got angry, asking what it was, and Tango-mal laughed heartily.

Chochan, with a pale face, scolded him to stop.

It seems like it wasn’t always like this, but realizing it anew, Sangseo is truly peaceful.

“It’s good to see.”

Although Saha can’t see it with her eyes.

She can hear the sounds and feel the energy.

Sangseo has become a good place to live.

Only forty years ago, it wasn’t because of the Hwang family’s schemes.

“It’s because of you.”

It was Saha.

“What did I do.”

“You made it like this. Lively, or vibrant.”

Beom concentrated his ears and listened to the laughter and voices of the residents.

It’s a bit noisy, but it’s a sound that makes you feel good.

“Is that so.”

“Did you drink too much?”

“I didn’t drink much.”

Saha drank a little because she was in a good mood, but not enough to get drunk.

“I was surprised because your eyes were like that.”

Saha wasn’t looking at Beom.

Saha said, looking at the people who were enjoying the festival.

Saha couldn’t see her face because she couldn’t see, but she could hear her sincerity in her honest voice.

“Were you worried.”

“Of course, I was worried. I wondered if you had gotten caught up in another strange incident.”

“I did get caught up in one.”

“That’s what I mean…”

She sighed deeply.

“I’m still a useful card to them. Unless the Demonic Sages invade again, my life won’t be in danger.”

But Beom is different.

“You’re going to be in danger now.”

The Hu family’s heirloom, Twin Annihilation.

And he even possesses the Gon family’s Shadow Flight Jade, so there’s nothing more to say.

It hasn’t spread yet that he possesses the Shadow Flight Jade.

-By the way, where is Gonsabi?

Saha asked slyly through telepathy.

“I left her at my residence. Hwaran is with her, so there’s nothing to worry about. I’ll take her back when my vacation is over.”

“Wouldn’t it be safer for her to stay here?”

That might be the case.

Sangseo is almost at the southern end, so they won’t come all the way here to search.

“Should I?”

That’s not a bad idea either.

“She said she’s working hard on her training to become an upper immortal.”

Beom looked at Huhae, who still hadn’t come to his senses.

“Would it be okay to leave both of them here?”

Huhae is a bit immature, but he is definitely an upper immortal, and Gonsabi is a lesser immortal.

‘I can’t be a good teacher, but I can help to some extent,’ Beom thought.

“There’s Tango-mal and Chochan in Sangseo, and me too.”

“Don’t you spend less time in Sangseo?”

“That’s… true.”

Because of what she said in the Water Palace, she couldn’t just take care of Sangseo.

Saha decided to enter the Water Palace with Beom on the day his vacation ended.

“What was the title again?”

“Grade 6 Immortal Extermination Commander (殺仙訊將) [Shā xiān xùn jiàng – literally ‘Killing Immortal Scouting General’].”

It was something that was hastily established in preparation for the Immortal Extermination War, but there is no detailed information yet.

“Are you a target?”

Saha asked mischievously, wondering if she would get cursed, but Saha surprisingly smiled bitterly and said she didn’t know.

“What are you going to do with Sangseo?”

“It was running well even without me? I was surprised by Saak’s skills.”

Saha chattered about how well Saak had managed things, and Cheonbeom quietly listened to her before blurting out.

“Are you happy.”

Saha was momentarily speechless at the sudden question.

But she soon smiled and replied.

“No, not yet. Of course, I’m happier than ever before compared to the past.”

But not yet.

She became greedy.

“Are you talking about the Five Great Families?”

“That too.”

“Why are you so obsessed with it after being betrayed by the guys who belong to it?”

“I just wanted to sit in the seat that those guys are obsessed with once. And I’m going to smash it to pieces all at once.”

Looking at her clenching her fist, it seems like she wants to crush it while playing with it.

Was that it.

“If that’s the case, I agree too.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Saha smiled happily as if something was good.

Her laughter is a very ticklish woman.

But Saha couldn’t see her smiling face.

Everything was good, but Saha was inwardly disappointed that she couldn’t see.

* * *

One month later.

Beom, who was training in his residence, was sitting in meditation on the top of the mountain.

A dazzling golden light flickered mysteriously from his body.

The flickering golden light soon turned into golden flames and blazed.

Soon, Cheonbeom opened his eyes and lightly spread his arms, and golden flames soared from all directions and blazed.

The color of his cloudy eyes had returned to normal.

When he opened his mouth slightly, Subongyeosan [a mystical mountain] appeared spinning inside.

As it appeared, scattering blue flames, Beom immediately shook his sleeves.

Then, different mountains popped out from his sleeves.

It was the Four Extreme Mountains of the Sages that Hojunseong possessed.

It was somewhat tainted with demonic energy because it was used by a Demonic Sage, but its foundation is the extreme mountains belonging to the four elements of the Five Elements.

There was no reason why Cheonbeom couldn’t use it.

He jumped up into the sky and gathered his arms, and the golden flames soaring in all directions instantly gathered to him.

“Hup!”

Soon his own flame.

The Golden Celestial Fire (金天之火) [Jīn tiān zhī huǒ – literally ‘Gold Heaven Fire’] gathered and began to permeate into the Four Extreme Mountains of the Sages.

Soon, a roar as if something was exploding was heard from within the Four Extreme Mountains of the Sages, and the laughter of demons filled the world.

Soon, as he made a hand seal and moved his mouth non-stop, chanting immortal spells, a tearing scream began to echo.

The collapsing demonic energy inside the Four Extreme Mountains of the Sages began to make a fuss.

“Go.”

But Beom, as if he had predicted it in advance, dyed the twelve swords of the Constant Protection Death Swords he had prepared with white light and flew them to the Four Extreme Mountains of the Sages.

Then, a bang!! An explosion erupted, and the shape of a demon gathered over the extreme mountains as if it had spirituality.

Chuck!

Soon, Beom clasped his hands together and made a mysterious sound as if chanting Buddhist scriptures, and began to extract the collapsing demonic energy from the extreme mountains.

Originally, purifying the extreme mountains that had been eroded by the collapsing demonic energy is not an easy task.

At least, he is taking back and using what Hojunseong, who had been handling the Four Extreme Mountains of the Sages for hundreds of years, had tamed.

Purifying it was not easy.

But Cheonbeom had another mountain in his hand besides the Four Extreme Mountains of the Sages.

‘Subongyeosan.’

The Bongak Blue Flame of Subongyeosan, where Bong had permeated, is an intense divine flame technique that cannot be compared to the level of an upper immortal.

The blue flame that burns even the soul.

It is the Bongak Blue Flame.

Although it is only a fragment of the soul, it may not burn the soul as much as the original, but even so, there is no reason why it cannot burn the collapsing demonic energy.

And in addition to that, one more.

A warm sunlight-like flame that brilliantly illuminates everything.

There is Cheonbeom’s Golden Celestial Fire.

His own divine flame technique, which combines the Bongak Blue Flame and Beom’s enlightenment.

If there is Bongak Blue Flame and Golden Celestial Fire, burning the collapsing demonic energy is a joke.

If someone else did it, it would take hundreds of years to purify the Four Extreme Mountains of the Sages, but in his hands, a month was enough.

“Hap!!”

Soon, the blue flame and the golden flame collide and burn the shape of the demon that soared up.

A creepy shape and the shape of several faces pop out in a mess and scream.

But soon, it kneels to the divine flame technique and is instantly burned, leaving no ashes behind.

“Hoo-!”

It was quite a difficult task.

But Beom was pleased as he looked at the Four Extreme Mountains of the Sages floating in front of him.

The Four Extreme Mountains of the Sages, which had been stripped of their long-standing filth and had their collapsing demonic energy erased, were constantly emitting their respective colors and asserting themselves.

“The rest can be purified slowly by linking it with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Divine.”

He puts the brightly shining Four Extreme Mountains of the Sages on his right hand and Subongyeosan on his left hand, and then gathers them into one.

The five extreme mountains in front of him slowly rotate, and the nine formulas of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Divine flow from Beom’s mouth.

Beom is now completely immersed in the nine formulas of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Divine.

As he unknowingly moved the nine formulas of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Divine, the shape of the Five Elements Extreme Mountains he possessed gradually changed.

It is a small size that can fit on the palm of your hand, but it slowly divides and changes into eight shapes.

Sprinkling the energy of the five elements, it begins to transform into the shape of the eight trigrams.

Geon (乾) [Qián – Heaven/Sky], Tae (兌) [Duì – Lake/Marsh], Lee (離) [Lí – Fire/Sun], Jin (震) [Zhèn – Thunder/Arousal], Son (巽) [Xùn – Wind/Wood], Gam (坎) [Kǎn – Water/Moon], Gan (艮) [Gèn – Mountain], Gon (坤) [Kūn – Earth].

The Five Elements Extreme Mountains transform into the shape of the Eight Trigrams and take their place behind him, spinning around, and the moment a mandala blooms in the middle of the Eight Trigrams.

“Ugh!”

Bang!!

An explosion occurred in Cheonbeom’s body.
