Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 524

Tales of the Divine Swordsman – Part 2, Episode 233

The Gongmyo Cave.

Revisiting the place, Beom walked through the passage with a grim look.

The matter with Cheonchuk was settled for now.

So, he wanted to see this place again.

“Chuk said there seemed to be Hyangseon here, but that’s not the case.”

“Really?”

Horri was also by his side.

“If Hyangseon was hiding and plotting something, there’s no way I wouldn’t know.”

The energy was too strong to be Hyangseon’s. In a place like this, one would intentionally hide their energy, but there was no sign of that at all, which made it even more unlikely.

“Then what’s here?”

“We’ll know when we get there.”

It wasn’t that far.

The cave was designed to be easily lost in due to spatial distortions, but it wasn’t enough to fool Cheonbeom.

“It’s a kind of formation. I almost missed it because it was cleverly hidden, but I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t looked closely.”

With this level of sophistication, it was at least the work of a Hyangseon [a high-level celestial being]. Among the Hyangseon, it would be someone with a realm reaching the late stage.

‘Or it could be Wonseon [an even higher-level celestial being].’

Krrr.

As they headed towards the end of Gongmyo Cave, the energy of the Chungsu [a type of monster] became more ferocious.

But no one dared to attack him.

Hundreds, thousands of Chungsu were afraid and wary, but they couldn’t approach.

Cheonbeom and Horri passed by them, gradually approaching the end.

As the energy grew stronger, the number of Chungsu decreased, and as the number decreased, more powerful beings appeared.

Chungsu strong enough to fight Hyangseon on equal terms.

“It seems like they’re protecting something.”

This level of scale and space restrictions were in place.

Thud.

It was then.

Whoosh!! A cool breeze flew in.

Kwaang!!

A wind like a well-honed blade.

It was a power that even Sangseon [a celestial being above Hyangseon], let alone Hyangseon, could hardly handle.

“A fierce wind.”

But that was all.

It didn’t work on Beom.

He flicked it away with the back of his hand, and it disappeared futilely with a Paang!! sound.

Several more attacks followed, but a circular protective barrier was cast around Cheonbeom, completely blocking the wind.

It was Cheonbeom’s Ilsimmancheonokgyeong [a powerful defensive technique].

It not only blocked the incoming attacks but also absorbed and released them as they were.

Bang! Bang! Bang bang!!

The sharp wind scattered in all directions, collapsing Gongmyo Cave.

The limbs of the Chungsu were torn apart by the stray wind, and they vomited blood.

Amidst the chaos.

One thing revealed its form.

“I wondered what was here….”

What Cheonbeom saw was a huge energy that seemed to be a collection of wind.

“Woncheongang, huh.”

It was an energy swirling endlessly in the shape of a sphere.

Condensed Cheonjiwon energy [primordial energy of the universe].

It was Woncheongang [a concentrated source of Cheonjiwon energy].

“Woncheongang? What’s that?”

“It’s a condensation of energy where Hyangseon or Wonseon intentionally gather Cheonjiwon energy. It seems this place is one of those places.”

In cultivation, Cheonjiwon energy.

In other words, Seon energy [spiritual energy] is indispensable.

But it is not infinite, so they created such places.

‘Who created this place….’

It was a little too 허술 [roughly made/shoddy] to be created by Wonseon.

‘Strange.’

The system that built the formation was not from the Water Realm. It seemed like he had seen it somewhere… He was confused whether San had seen it or he had seen it himself.

“I don’t need to worry about it that much.”

Even Hyangseon could create something like this. They also needed to gather Cheonjiwon energy for ascension.

This alone was not enough, but it was better than nothing.

Besides, Woncheongang was useful for anything, not just ascension.

“With this much energy, it’s Seon energy that has been gathered for over ten thousand years. It’s not very useful to me, but it’s different for you.”

The body was Wonseon, but the soul contained in the vessel was a very weak existence.

Woncheongang would be very useful to Horri, so it was better to give it to her.

“It would be good to give it to Cheonchuk, but it’s still too early. He doesn’t seem to need something like this, so how about you take it? You can use it however you want.”

“Really?”

“It doesn’t matter. The nature of the guy who created this 마굴 [den of evil] can’t be good, and thanks to him, my great-grandson was even hurt, so I feel like tearing this place apart.”

But there was no need to do that, and Woncheongang was useful.

Wasn’t taking the Woncheongang that the guy had worked so hard to gather enough revenge?

“I also want to cast a spell on Woncheongang to find the owner, but there’s no need to do that. Taking this is enough.”

When he said that, Horri nodded quickly, perhaps because she was secretly greedy.

“Wait, there’s a 금제 [Geumje: a type of seal or restriction] in place, so you’ll be attacked if you touch it carelessly. I’ll do it.”

Samse Samgwang [a type of divine energy] flowed from Beom’s grasp and flowed into the Woncheongang inside the densely drawn formation.

Then, with a Cheolkeok! Cheolkeok! sound, the energy of the formation weakened, and the Woncheongang thumped, and the energy of the wind weakened.

“It seems like he was handling Pungsintong [a wind-based divine ability].”

If it was Pungsintong, Beom also had one he could handle.

Four wings spread out from his back, and a blue wind swirled.

The heirloom of the Gonssi family.

Yeonghwabi, Byeokryeok Cheongpung [a powerful wind technique].

When Cheongpung wrapped around Woncheongang, it fell into Cheonbeom’s grasp so easily, and soon turned into a light blue feather.

The tremendous Cheonjiwon energy contained in the feather emitting a subtle blue light was condensed.

Horri, who received it with her cute outstretched hands, looked at Woncheongang with a strange face and smiled.

“I can do it.”

But it would take time.

To make the huge energy her own, a proper price was needed.

“Where are you going now? Are you going there?”

“I have to. I told Miseodan that I would guide her when she headed to the main family, so I told her to do so.”

“You don’t need a guide, do you?”

That’s right.

“Maybe she’s planning to buy time. Since I have a position, the family will need to make preparations accordingly.”

It would be a great opportunity for Miga.

“Besides, it’s rude to visit suddenly.”

Besides, the opponent was Wonseon Taesa [a high-ranking Wonseon].

The newly ascended Wonseon!

From Miga’s point of view, they had no choice but to treat him more grandly than anyone else.

“Seodan seemed to be working hard considering her relationship with Chuk.”

“Hmph~”

Horri shrugged her shoulders as if she wasn’t interested at all and just looked at Woncheongang.

She didn’t seem to be interested in stories about the family.

* * *

A month later.

The main house of the Missi Sega [a powerful clan], located a little far from Sancheong.

Mayunjung (磨潤正) [a major city under the control of the Missi Clan].

It was a place with many entertainment districts, perhaps because the Missi Sega had prospered there.

There were many tall pavilions, and lively men and women, of course.

The children also all had good complexions and did not show any gloomy signs.

In such Mayunjung, the small Seon [minor deities] were flying around and moving things, and the children were also busy and noisy decorating the streets.

“No, that’s not how you do it? Much bigger than this! Neatly! You have to draw it in a mysterious way!”

It wasn’t just one place that was like that, but it was happening simultaneously, so it looked like they were fighting when viewed from a distance.

“There’s no time! A telegram has arrived saying that he will arrive soon, so finish it quickly!!”

A wanderer who visited Mayunjung after a long time asked why this was happening, and a local resident replied.

“Is the rumor slow? Today is the day when a very special person from across the Water Realm and even the Upper Realm comes to Mayunjung, so it’s natural that they’re making such a fuss.”

“Who is it?”

This place where the Missi Sega prospered.

A special guest to visit Mayunjung.

“It’s Geumcheon Daesa [a high-ranking celestial official].”

That’s right, one of the existences that doesn’t exceed ten below Sangcheon [the highest realm].

Wonseon Taesa, who ascended to the end of Sangcheon.

Geumcheon.

It was because he had decided to come.

“Oh!”

Was it because the time was right?

A procession crossing the sky of Mayunjung began to arrive.

A procession of gods standing on clouds and a man riding in an antique 가마 [Gama: a traditional Korean palanquin] behind them can be seen at a glance.

The man with a neat appearance was not so special, but his eyes, which seemed to contain the sun, had a magic that captivated people’s attention at once.

He was the new Sangcheonhaewol [a title for a celestial being].

Geumcheon Daesa.

* * *

Mayunjung.

Beom said, looking at the amazing sight of many gods gathered like ants.

“Chuk, do you know why I waited a month to come here?”

“I know that you are considerate of Miss Mi.”

But Beom shook his head.

“Wrong.”

“You weren’t….”

“Seodan is the daughter of someone I know, but there’s no reason for me to be so considerate. Why would I be considerate when I have nothing to lose?”

There was no need to do that.

In short, he could have used the law of space to reach Missi Sega in one step.

From the beginning, Beom was not a person who liked noisy things.

It was more comfortable to come quietly, see what was needed, and leave, but there was no need to participate in such things.

“May I ask why you did that?”

Then Beom smiled.

“All of this is for you. The reason I created and attended such a grand event is to show you to them. If I do that, your position will be elevated even in the Water Realm, and no one will touch you.”

In addition, things related to what Cheonchuk will do in the future will also become easier.

“It’s not easy to prosper a family in the Water Realm. Wealth, fame, and luck must also follow.”

With this incident, his name will be widely spread, and no one will not know the name of Cheonchuk, his only blood relative.

Following the procession prepared by Seodan was also to receive such benefits. For his only great-grandson.

“I felt it even in Gongmyo Cave, but your power is at the end of Sangseon. Not because you are my great-grandson, but objectively, the power you have is strong. Among the gods of the same level, there will be no one who can defeat you.”

It was rewarding, but he couldn’t help but worry. He knew his strength well in Gongmyo Cave, but he also saw shortcomings.

“But it’s not enough.”

If he hadn’t followed him to Gongmyo Cave, Cheonchuk would have died there.

His martial power may be strong, but he is still young.

Perhaps it was because he did not properly know the ruthlessness of the Upper Realm.

“I am aware….”

“So you have to learn a lot this time. Even if you have strong martial power, you can die from a moment’s mistake.”

That was no different even for Wonseon.

Beom patted Chuk on the shoulder.

“It’s because you’re still young. But because you’re young, you can learn more.”

“I will engrave it deeply.”

Beom smiled brightly.

“Do you have any children left in the Lower Realm?”

“No. Unfortunately, I did not form any relationships in the Lower Realm.”

“I see.”

Beom nodded.

Cheonchuk was questioning the nod as if it was a good thing, but he dared not ask any more questions.

“I dare to see Geumcheon Daesa, who occupies one of the Hanseok [seats of power] of the new Sangcheonhaewol.”

The 가마 [Gama: a traditional Korean palanquin] that Cheonbeom was riding in was lowered.

The other families located in Mayunjung.

And the Gaseon [family heads] of the Missi Sega, who can be said to be the representative of them, appeared.

They all politely cleared the way in front of Cheonbeom, 포권 [a traditional greeting gesture], and greeted him grandly.

There were so many gods who showed respect that the line was endless.

There was also a familiar face in the middle.

“Miseopa, long time no see.”

“I see Geumcheon Daesa.”

The moment he was about to greet him with joy.

Cheonbeom’s eyes narrowed.

“You… why are you here.”

He asked the woman standing next to Miseopa as if surprised.

The woman’s eyes turned red and she bowed to him.

“It’s been a long time, Head of Gwanjang [a former title of Cheonbeom].”

She was a palace maid of Sugung [a celestial palace] who served him when Cheonbeom was in charge of the position of Head of Munmugwanjang [Head of the Military and Civil Affairs].

Yangmi.

Beom looked at Miseopa and Yangmi, who were intimately seated, and 파안대소 [burst out laughing] as if he had realized something, unlike him.

Miseopa and Yangmi were probably.

It seemed like they had formed a marital relationship.
