Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 235

Romance of Nangseon – Episode 234

Wonok.

It is located in the body of a Sangseon [a celestial being], which belongs to the lower realm of the gods, and can be called Naedan [inner core].

All the Sangseons keep this Wonok [a mystical jade] in their bodies, and it changes its appearance as they please when they become Hyangseons [ascended celestials] later.

Only the heavens know what it will look like, but it doesn’t matter to Sangoon now.

“Why are you so worried?”

In the bedroom deep inside the cave, Choa was leaning her head on his shoulder, wearing a thin silk dress.

Sangoon stroked Choa’s cheek, holding Wonok in one hand.

“I’m worried about how to use it.”

“How about using it for training?”

Not bad.

It contains the energy of heaven and earth and the strange energy of the gods, so if you absorb even a little bit of the energy, you might gain some enlightenment.

However, he tilted his head slightly, looking somewhat uncertain.

“It’s ambiguous. I also have Sipsaengdan [elixir of life], so there’s no reason to use it right now. That will be enough to lay the foundation. After that, it’s all up to me.”

Using Wonok wouldn’t provide a significant benefit.

“Then what about Bopae [divine treasures]? Bong said that you can use Wonok to create treasures of the Seon [immortal] world, right?”

“That’s right.”

But there’s also a problem with that.

“It wouldn’t be difficult to ask Bong to make it into a treasure, but even if I made it like that, I wouldn’t be able to use it.”

“Ah….”

What makes up Wonok is Wongi [primordial energy].

A Hage [lower realm] practitioner who cannot handle great power will create an overwhelming treasure that he cannot even use properly.

No matter how sharp a sword that cuts through the world is in the hands of a child, it is the same principle that he cannot cut even a single grain.

“Then it’s useless now?”

“That’s why I’m worried.”

However, Choa puffed out her cheeks when she saw Sangoon’s expression. His face wasn’t worried. It seemed like he had something in mind.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be raising the corners of his lips like that.

‘What are you up to again….’

Why are you smiling so slyly?

Choa poked Sangoon’s cheek playfully and smiled contentedly.

“Why?”

“Just because.”

“That’s boring.”

“Have you thought about what to do?”

“Hmm… roughly. It’s an excessive item in my hands right now, but if I ascend and go to the Upper World, it won’t be difficult to obtain.”

Choa smiled wryly at his words.

“You’re already practically a god.”

“What, has our wife already forgotten the previous promise?”

When he smiled slyly and tickled her side, Choa blushed and tapped Sangoon’s chest.

“I’m embarrassed.”

“When did you attack me, and what’s the point of being embarrassed now? You told me that you would definitely become a god and give birth to my child and live forever.”

“That’s true, but….”

He lifted Choa’s chin with his fingertips, who was turning her head, and brought his face closer with a mischievous smile.

“I’m worried about becoming a god, believing only in those words, but it seems like our wife has different thoughts from me.”

“That can’t be. Becoming an immortal is what I want more than anyone else.”

“But why are you so unsure?”

Choa, who had a smile on her face, was silent.

Why wouldn’t I know?

The pressure and anxiety of facing death every time you cross the wall is indescribable, so that’s why I’m doing this.

Even Sangoon, who has many opportunities, always has more worries and concerns about Jinsumyungwha [achieving true enlightenment], so I could fully understand.

“Since my wife is so worried, let’s practice what we need to do in the Upper World in advance.”

“Practice?”

“You said you wanted to have my child.”

Then Choa’s face turned as red as a tomato, and she hid her head.

Then, she playfully punched him in the chest.

His chest hurt as if it would be pierced, but Sangoon gritted his teeth and endured it.

‘Did you learn Gangcheolsul [iron body technique]….’

The fist that he playfully hit was gradually making Sangoon’s chest numb.

It is Sangoon’s body that has mastered Gyuncheonbohwa [heavenly protection].

A body that is no different from a treasure sword, and a body that is close to indestructible with Jangchungjitae [longevity elixir] and various elixirs, but why does it hurt so much?

‘I didn’t skip training.’

Many thoughts flashed through my mind.

However, I thought I would get bruised if I kept getting hit, so I grabbed Choa’s wrist.

Soon, their faces got closer, and their bodies were about to lean in further.

Swish.

Thud.

A talisman flew into Sangoon’s bedroom and stopped in the air.

“What’s going on?”

When I grabbed the talisman and infused Shinshik [divine energy] into it, I could read the contents inside.

“…A guest has arrived.”

“What guest?”

If there is a guest in Yoomugan [hidden sanctuary], who could it be?

When he made a suspicious face, Sangoon sighed and replied.

“A woman named Charyuk, whom I met three months ago, has come again. I think I’ll have to go out.”

“…Now?”

Sangoon raised the corners of his lips at Choa’s tearful face and grabbed her protruding lips and said.

“A guest has arrived, so what can I do? I’ll be back soon, so wait. I’m going to give you a good scolding later, so you have to wait without sleeping.”

“Don’t say such embarrassing things….”

“What’s wrong? We’re husband and wife.”

When he shrugged his shoulders and stood up, Choa followed him and tidied up Sangoon’s clothes.

“Do you have to come back quickly?”

“I might come back too quickly, so wait quietly. It wouldn’t be bad to have a drink like before.”

“Ah, then I’ll prepare!”

“Okay, I’ll be back soon.”

“Come back safely.”

Whoosh.

Disappeared like the wind.

Choa was left alone in the large bedroom, smiling happily and starting to prepare the table.

* * *

Sangoon, who came out to Gongjeonggang [a training ground], glared at the woman in front of him.

“Cha… Seonja [immortal].”

“Yes, you recognize me.”

“Well… because it looks exactly like the figure in the illusion you showed me.”

Her appearance had changed a little.

Her blue hair had turned into long black hair.

The bizarre horn that had been on her left eye had also disappeared, and her sparkling brown eyes were shining.

‘I’ve been hiding it.’

It seemed that she had only changed her appearance through a type of disguise.

However, Sangoon smiled faintly without showing any expression and asked.

“But what’s going on?”

Before, you disappeared without saying a word.

When I asked with that intention, Charyuk smiled bitterly and moved her lips.

-I want to talk alone.

Sangoon looked at Bong next to him.

Bong also nodded and agreed, looking at Charyuk.

“This way.”

She gestured and took something out of her sleeve, and when I looked closely, it was a sculpture modeled after a high-rise building.

When Charyuk blew breath into the tower, it spun around and slowly began to grow in size.

Koo-oong-

The tower, which was only a sculpture, was transformed into a 24-story building.

“Oh….”

I was impressed, but Charyuk just smiled faintly and didn’t say anything special.

She just quietly guided me into the tower.

When she came out like that, Sangoon also closed his mouth and followed behind her.

‘The inside is nothing special.’

Unlike the antique exterior, the inside of the tower was surprisingly ordinary.

Each room only had a table and chairs, and nothing else.

“This way.”

She guided Sangoon to the stairs and took the lead.

Squeak, squeak.

The sound of the creaking planks broke the silence as I climbed the stairs.

Charyuk and Sangoon, who were leading the way, did not exchange a word while climbing the stairs and silently climbed to the upper floors.

When I finally reached the top of the 24th floor.

She parted her lips.

“Please sit here.”

The top of the 24th floor was an empty space with nothing.

There were windows, but you couldn’t see outside, and the room wasn’t divided, so it was a space wide enough to run around in.

In the middle of it, two chairs and a table were placed, which felt very ominous.

‘It’ll be okay.’

When Sangoon sat down on the chair, she sat on the opposite side and put her arms on the armrests.

“I have many questions I want to ask.”

That’s right.

I broke up as if running away three months ago, but if I think about it carefully, I will have many questions.

Sangoon’s existence itself will be a bit strange to her.

“First of all… who are you?”

“I’m just a practitioner from Hage [lower realm].”

“Don’t try to get over it with such vague words. Depending on your answer, I won’t stay still.”

“Are you going to kill me?”

When her face became vicious, Sangoon’s confident face frowned.

“What is this?”

When I narrowed my brows and looked at the chair, Charyuk began to explain calmly.

“The chair you are sitting on is called Talnyeombaekjwa [soul-draining throne], and once you sit on it, you can’t get up again, and you will be deprived of your energy there forever.”

“…That’s right.”

You don’t have to move to know.

I can’t move at all, and Talnyeombaekjwa is slowly sucking my energy.

“Talnyeombaekjwa is originally a tool to elicit confessions from criminals. It is said that even those who initially denied it will only tell the truth within 100 days. Of course, you are one of the strong ones, so the speed at which you absorb energy will be a little faster. Talnyeom literally means taking away even the ability to think.”

Sangoon let out a hollow laugh as if he was dumbfounded.

“You must know that there is a god watching my back outside.”

Bong is outside the tower.

The reason why he silently followed even if he felt a little strange was because he had his backing.

“I just want the truth.”

“Does it matter if you die?”

“Yes.”

Anyway, her lifespan is only ten years.

If it’s all the same anyway, I want to know the truth even if I have to do this.

“You don’t even have to go for a hundred days. Baekcho [within 100 seconds].

I will make sure that only the truth comes out of your mouth within 100 seconds. Even though the day I disappear into dust is not far away, I am a clear Jiseon [earth immortal]. It’s not difficult to deal with one Yeonggeop Yuksa [reincarnated demon].”

That’s right.

“You are not Yang Hyung.”

That’s also right.

“I have never said that I am your Yang Hyung.”

“Then who are you? I thought you were Yang Hyung before and ran away, but foolishly, that couldn’t be.”

“Why did you think so?”

Charyuk took a deep breath and spoke slowly and clearly.

“First, if you were Yang Hyung, there would be no reason for you to pretend not to know me.”

“There may be circumstances.”

“Yang Hyung is not someone who would deceive me, no matter what the circumstances.”

It was a tone full of confidence.

Sangoon also agreed.

He was such a man.

“Secondly, even if Yang Hyung had taken over the body of Yuksa through Shintal [soul transfer], the techniques he used would not have changed. The same goes for the energy of Hwaryeong [fiery spirit].”

That’s also right.

Even if he had taken over someone else’s body through Shintal, the energy of Hwaryeong contained within it could not have changed.

At the same time, the same goes for the technique.

“For that reason, you are not Yang Hyung. So now, please answer. Who you are.”

Sangoon’s eyes calmly sank at the low, trembling voice.

She revealed one by one all the evidence that Sangoon was not Yang Hyung.

So I’m sure you’re wondering.

How can someone who is not Yang Hyung know the stories that only she and he know?

How can he know the memories of the two of them promising the future under the tree?

“You might regret it.”

“Regret is also something I have to do. And I’m used to it. I’ve been regretting it all my life since that day.”

At the firm attitude, Sangoon narrowed his brows and sighed.

“Please release this first. Then I’ll tell you everything.”

“How can I trust you and let you go? I can’t trust you. If you just tell me the truth, nothing dangerous will happen, so don’t worry.”

“No. That’s not it.”

“Yes?”

“Whether you trust me or not doesn’t matter.”

“Then what is it?”

“You’ll have to let me go if you don’t want to die right now.”

“Are you threatening me?”

He shook his head.

Then he gestured towards the outside, and when I turned my head following his gesture.

“Because that guy will get angry.”

Jjeejeejeejeeejeok!!

Kwaaaang!!

The tower was crushed, the roof was torn off, and black poison was flowing in all directions.

“Kyaa!!”

What was visible through the torn roof was a giant Oryong [five-headed dragon] with the face of a dragon.

It was Sangoon’s Tamhwa [spiritual beast].

“I told you. He’s going to get angry.”
