Nangseon Gi Hwan Dam – Part 2, Chapter 79
“Catch him!!”
At Yeoobu’s urgent shout, all the Suseons [Celestial Cultivators] moved.
Except for one.
“What’s all the fuss about?”
Only Tamlang tilted his head, puzzled.
But no one answered him.
Everyone started searching for Yeon Jabo, who had transformed into a rabbit, with a burning intensity.
The Suseons scattered in an instant, leaving Tamlang and Cheonbeom alone.
“Little morsel. Aren’t you going?”
“Yeon Jabo, containing the law of time, has transformed and fled. He’s not someone a High Immortal can handle.”
He might be able to catch him, but even if he did, there’s no way it would stay in his hands.
They are different from Tamlang.
They are people who came here driven by their own greed.
No matter how much Cheonbeom exerts himself to catch Yeon Jabo, it will soon be taken away.
‘One-on-many against a Heavenly Immortal is impossible.’
It’s meaningless.
He wouldn’t be able to hide it anyway.
The Time Law’s Yeon Jabo is such a rare treasure to those who have lived for so long that it’s a source of both longing and unbearable greed, which is bound to bring disaster.
Cheonbeom cleanly gave up and thought it would be better to look around elsewhere.
“Everyone will be consumed by their desire for Yeon Jabo, so it might be better to look at something else now.”
Who knows?
There might be an even greater Yeon Jabo or other treasures than that.
In the first place, this place is sealed due to Chungmo’s arrangement.
He arranged it for his descendants, so there must be something else.
The Seoncho [spiritual herbs] alone are over 400,000 years old, so Yeon Jabo can’t be the only thing, right?
‘It’s a gain just to have seen the law of time.’
Beom’s eyes activated the Dallyeongeumjeong [a mystical vision technique]. He even opened the Five Gates for a moment to glimpse the structure of the law of time.
He didn’t exactly understand it, but it’s a big difference between not knowing it at all and seeing it once.
At least he saw the road once, so he can shorten the time he spends wandering next time he walks it, right?
Cheonbeom spent tens of thousands of years trying to grasp the clue of the law of time in the space between existence and non-existence, in the midst of Mokgeop [a period of cosmic destruction and rebirth].
Even so, he couldn’t catch it, but he felt a slight sense of it just by seeing it for a moment, so Beom was overjoyed just by that.
“Are you going together?”
“Where would I go?”
“If this place is the heart, it’s probably the center of the Chungmo [a powerful, ancient entity]. Then there must be major organs nearby.”
The heart became Yeon Jabo.
It’s not something else, so he can’t guarantee it.
Even if it’s not Yeon Jabo, he can’t rule out the possibility that there are other treasures.

“Are you going together?”
“I’m bored, so I’ll follow you.”
The structure of a spider’s body is unique.
Since it looks so different from the start, the location of the organs themselves is also a bit different.
If this place was where the heart was, then the other organs must be down below. Beom kept that in mind as he searched for the path.
“Little morsel.”
“What is it?”
As he was walking, deep in thought, Tamlang suddenly spoke to him.
“I don’t understand it well, but are all the guys outside the Chung Realm like that?”
The guys outside the Chung Realm.
“They are also Chungseon [Celestial beings of the Chung Realm].”
“After watching for a while, those guys were different from the Chungseon I knew. They were more interested in strange things than their own power.”
“That’s….”
“I know. Those treasures are called Beopgi [Mystical Artifacts], and they are tools that help them amplify their power or exert great power.”
I don’t know why he’s asking when he knows.
I don’t know what he wants to say either.
“Even so, I don’t understand.”
Beom quietly looked at Tamlang.
I thought he was a thoughtless guy, but it seems he knows how to worry.
“What does Tamlang like the most?”
“Me? What I like is, of course, bloody battles.”
“Tamlang came all the way here following the Jonja [a powerful being] for that, right?”
“Yes, the fight with that Jonja is worth it. It made my blood boil!”
He really likes fighting.
Beom smiled, thinking of someone.
There was a guy who always challenged him to a fight in the past, but I wonder where he is and what he’s doing now….
“They are the same. Just as bloody battles are the most fun and valuable to Tamlang, treasures that can take them to a higher place are more important to them than anything else.”
Whether they are humans or immortals, it’s all the same.
They move for the values they pursue and struggle to live.
That much is an unchanging truth.
“Is that so. Hmm….”
Tamlang seemed to like Beom’s answer and showed a satisfied smile.
“You’re useful. Little morsel. If I defeat the Jonja, I’ll postpone eating you for a while and extract the knowledge in your head.”
I don’t know if it’s a compliment or not.
But strangely, I didn’t feel bad. I’d rather have a personality like Tamlang than those who can’t know their true feelings.
And after a while.
A huge space appeared in front of Tamlang and Beom, and there were many pure white stones.
“They’re not ordinary stones.”
I feel some unknown energy.
The size is also enormous, with each one being as big as a seven-story pavilion.
“I know this too.”
Then Tamlang said confidently.
“This is a spider’s egg!”
Beom stared blankly at him for a moment and frowned.
“This is an egg?”
“Then what else would it be?”
Tamlang said as if he was asking something obvious.
“Since it’s inside a spider’s belly, of course there will be eggs. Originally, all the insects in the Chung Realm have eggs in their bellies. Whether to fertilize and hatch them is up to them.”
I don’t know well, but it seems to be a natural thing in the Chung Realm.
If there are so many eggs here, this place seems to be a breeding ground for Chungmo.
“These won’t suddenly hatch, will they?”
“If they were going to hatch, they would have done it a long time ago.”
They wouldn’t have been in the form of eggs here for over hundreds of thousands of years.
Beom also thought they were just stones at first, so I think they are infertile eggs.
“Even if they are infertile eggs, Chungseon’s eggs are good for the body if you eat them. High-quality eggs are full of Seon’s energy, so they are excellent.”
“Is that so too?”
Tamlang tapped the huge egg and tilted his head.
“I don’t know. Shall we cut it open?”
As he raised his forefoot, the mantis’s claws turned sharp like a scythe.
And the change occurred at that moment.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Subongyeosan [a mystical mountain] popped out of Cheonbeom’s body and floated into the air.
“Why is this suddenly….”
Subongyeosan rotated.
Then the other Sahengeuksan [Four Great Extreme Mountains] also came out, and Subongyeosan, which was the center, scattered energy as if leading something.
It created a calm blue wave, and all of them spread evenly throughout the breeding ground.
Tamlang was still, wondering what it was, and Beom was startled and opened his mouth.
He realized what he was doing.
‘Subongyeosan is….’
It is a newly born Geuksan [Extreme Mountain] where various divine powers and Bong itself have become the main axis.
Inside, there are various things mixed together, such as the divine power of Eungmyeongcheonchung [a powerful celestial technique], the divine power of gathering Yeongnaesan to create Naesan [Inner Mountain] in his body, and the divine power of intentionally creating Naedan [Inner Core] like Yungjeonga.
What such Subongyeosan is doing now is Gugija [a technique of rebirth], which was created by the children of Eungmyeongcheonchung.
The divine power of that Gugija, which erased Cheonbeom’s death and disappeared. He was using the divine power of Eungmyeongcheonchung.
He was using it in connection with other Sahengeuksan.
The energy of Subongyeosan, which spread like a wave, began to be recovered again.
As it did, sparkling lights gathered from hundreds of eggs and were sucked into Subongyeosan.
‘The divine power of Eungmyeongcheonchung is to convey life.’
And taking it away.
That’s what Subongyeosan was doing now.
The life contained in the egg.
He was taking away the life force contained in hundreds of eggs.
Gulp.
Beom, who swallowed dry saliva, had no choice but to watch quietly.
After Bong became Subongyeosan, he could neither talk to him nor meet him.
Because he had exhausted a lot of power.
But he thought he would come back someday.
Beom’s heart was pounding.
The power of life from the eggs.
As the vitality was sucked in instantly, the pure white eggs gradually became dull and dark.
But the more that happened, the more Subongyeosan’s power was full of vitality and energy, as if a volcano was about to erupt.
And when Subongyeosan’s movement stopped after absorbing most of the vitality.
Tudduk [sound of something breaking].
Sarereuk [sound of something crumbling].
All hundreds of Chungmo’s eggs turned to powder.
“What did you do?”
“I don’t know….”
Beom accepted Subongyeosan, which was slowly descending, with both hands.
The shrunken Subongyeosan was cute enough to fit in both hands, but unlike before, the contained power was enormous.
It has absorbed all the vitality of the eggs that had been collected for hundreds of thousands of years.
The corners of Beom’s lips were raised.
‘It’s there.’
I couldn’t feel anything before, but I can feel it now.
I can feel it clearly.
Something is in Subongyeosan.
Cheonbeom temporarily put his consciousness into Subongyeosan and began to properly understand what was going on.
Half an hour passed in that state, and when sweat broke out on his forehead.
Beom opened his eyes.
‘Naesan has been created.’
Naesan was created inside Subongyeosan.
The shape was definitely a feather.
A blue and beautiful phoenix feather.
His heart was full.
Naesan, which did not exist, was created.
Now, if I go inside, maybe, Bong may be inside Naesan.
He may be gathering energy again inside Naesan.
No, he definitely will.
‘I want to go in right away, but….’
The situation is not favorable.
Beom calmed his mind for a moment.
After taking a deep breath, he looked at the eggs that had turned to powder due to the loss of vitality and Tamlang.
‘He shook it all out.’
Without leaving a single bit of vitality, he absorbed it all, and the eggs turned to powder and fell heavily on the floor.
This is now no different from sand.
“Tamlang.”
“What did you just do? I saw you taking away the vitality contained in the egg.”
He asks as if he is curious.
But Beom grabbed Tamlang’s shoulder.
“Little morsel. You have a lot of guts to dare to touch my body.”
At Tamlang’s growling words, Beom raised the corners of his lips.
“Isn’t what Tamlang wants most is a fight with a strong person?”
“That’s right.”
“I will let you fight as much as you want.”
“You? Why you?”
“Instead, please don’t reveal everything you saw here to anyone.”
There’s no point in making unnecessary trouble.
There’s no point in them knowing that there were eggs here and that they had enormous vitality.
I don’t know, but if it was that much vitality, its value would be higher than the 400,000-year-old Seoncho we saw earlier.
It’s a kind of feeling, but it’s certain.
Cheonbeom swallowed that vitality alone, so if they find out the truth, dangerous things could happen.
For example, taking away Subongyeosan’s vitality, or trying to take Subongyeosan itself.
Therefore, Cheonbeom had to stop it.
“Huh, I waited for a strong person for thousands of years in Manmanchungro [a dangerous and isolated place], but the only one I found was Jonja. But you can make me fight with a strong person of that level?”
“I can. There are as many strong people in the Water Realm as there are in the Chung Realm.”
“Water Realm?”
“Have you ever been to the Water Realm?”
“No.”
The corners of Beom’s lips drew a curve.
“There are many strong enemies in the Water Realm. There are plenty of strong people like Jonja.”
Then a cold smile hung on Tamlang’s lips.
“That word, it must be true.”
Beom smiled and replied.
“I have no memory of ever telling a lie in my life.”
