Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 531

Nangseon Gi Hwan Dam – Part 2, Episode 240

Whirring.

Thud.

Beom, holding the Seondeung Eumseok [a stone that amplifies sound and light] transformed into a Geumgobong [a mythical staff or club], wore a peculiar smile.

As he focused his consciousness into the Geumgobong, he could see the guy inside screaming in agony while climbing the mountain.

“He seems to be holding up quite well. Creating hell isn’t as easy as I thought.”

It would have been better if he could have learned something to refer to, but since there was nothing like that, it was a somewhat disappointing technique.

Three Thousand Hells.

By creating hell, he saw the endless possibilities of the law of creation.

Right now, he was using it on Seondeung Eumseok, so he made something similar to a dream realm, but this alone would not be enough for the enemies he would have to face in the future.

“I’ll have to make the real thing.”

When that time comes, he will have to realize it in reality, not just in his mind.

“Shall we tidy up?”

Thud.

As he stretched out his index and middle fingers and moved his lips, the Geumgobong trembled.

After applying a few restrictions and releasing the Three Thousand Hells of the Three Thousand Initial Flowers, a reaction came instantly.

Thump, thump, thump.

White smoke billowed from the trembling Geumgobong, and soon, Seondeung Eumseok, in the form of Baek Geowon, appeared.

[You son of a bitch…!!]

Seondeung Eumseok spewed out curses as soon as he saw Cheonbeom and rushed at him, but

“I have something to ask.”

At Cheonbeom’s calmly uttered words, his body stopped abruptly.

[What did you do to my body!!]

“I’ve placed restrictions on you. If you try to break through with force, you’ll die.”

However, upon hearing those words, Seondeung Eumseok revealed his power with a defiant look.

It was a will to not even fear death.

But.

“Do you want to go back to hell again?”

At the word hell, Seondeung Eumseok’s body trembled involuntarily.

Cheonbeom’s lips curled up into a smirk.

“It seems like you want to go. It seems like it was more bearable than I thought, so if you want, sending you back is not difficult.”

[…What do you want?]

“Didn’t I tell you from the beginning? I have something I want to ask.”

About Geomno.

About Wonseon, who disappeared after being defeated by him, and his relationship with him.

There were many things he was curious about.

“But looking at your attitude, I’m not very curious. Go back to hell. How about a boiling sea instead of a mountain this time?”

Gulp.

Seondeung Eumseok’s body trembled like an aspen tree. Thousands of years of being skewered and walking on active volcanoes.

Thousands of years passed as he screamed, writhing in pain, and somehow finding himself back on the mountain.

It was Cheonbeom’s Three Thousand Hells that he had to endure without being able to die.

‘A boiling sea….’

He didn’t even want to think about it.

Since he had experienced hell, just a few words made it seem like hell was unfolding before his eyes again.

Numerous dead would be trapped in the sea of molten metal, unable to die, screaming and enduring the pain.

Imagining the demons with skewers appearing and stabbing those who tried to escape, it was a landscape that made him shudder and his mind break just thinking about it.

“You’ll never die and be immersed in boiling metal for the rest of your life. You’ll eat the molten metal when you’re hungry, and both the outside and inside will keep cooking. I’ve roughly heard that there’s something like this in Buddhist hell.”

Was it the Eight Hot Hells?

“It’s also my first time creating hell, so I’m still very inexperienced. Next time, I’m thinking of creating the Eight Great Hells and giving pain in stages from the 1st to the 8th floor. Since you’re the first implementer of my hell, can you experience the next one and tell me some anecdotes later?”

The Eight Great Hells!

Wasn’t it a collection of things he didn’t even want to imagine?

Cold sweat was pouring down Seondeung Eumseok’s face, and his eyes darted back and forth.

‘He’s crazy.’

He’s completely crazy.

He had to run away faster than anyone!

But his whole body was covered in restrictions, and he wasn’t even allowed to move his body freely.

Seondeung Eumseok had no choice but to do as he wanted, with tears in his eyes.

[Wh, what do you want?]

“What?”

[Wh, what do you want….]

“Hahaha! You want to know what I want. That’s a strange thing to say!”

[What’s so strange about it….]

“You’re supposed to bark if I tell you to bark, and roll if I tell you to roll. How dare you speak like a merchant negotiating with me on equal terms! So, of course, I have no choice but to say it’s strange.”

Seondeung Eumseok’s expression deteriorated as time passed.

However, unlike the darkening of his face, Cheonbeom’s face was full of smiles.

“First of all… you’re too high up. Get down on your knees. Our eye level doesn’t match.”

Snap.

As Cheonbeom snapped his fingers, Seondeung Eumseok’s body loosened, and he assumed an awkward posture.

He naturally knelt before Cheonbeom, like a mountain stream flowing down a mountain path, lowering his head.

“Now it matches. Originally, the most important thing before starting a conversation is to match eye level. We have to look each other in the eye to talk, right?”

Therefore, Seondeung Eumseok’s head was almost touching the ground, while Beom was looking down from above.

“Yes… I have a few questions for you. First of all… I can’t help but talk about Geomnoiltaek.”

The castration of existence.

He couldn’t help but talk about it.

[Why… are you asking about him?]

Cheonbeom smiled even at the impudent attitude of answering a question with a question.

“Because he’s the one I have to kill.”

* * *

Some time later.

There was someone waiting to greet the man coming down from the mountain near Ma Yoon-jeong, holding a Geumgobong.

“You caused quite a stir.”

“It was nothing. Did I disturb you?”

“Not really, I just came out because it was noisy.”

The man holding the Geumgobong was Cheonbeom, and the woman who greeted him was, of course, Hori.

Hori was temporarily melting down the Woncheongang [a rare and powerful metal] she had obtained from Sancheong to suit her needs, and she came out when Cheonbeom released Seondeung Eumseok’s seal and it became noisy.

“Did you resolve it well? The Gaseon [esteemed family members] of the Missi family are all in a frenzy. It seemed like they were worried about what you did. They were talking about their family treasure, is that it?”

“Something like that. Do you want it?”

When he showed the Geumgobong in his hand, Hori glanced at it and frowned.

“It smells like a monkey.”

She acted like she wanted him to get rid of it.

She was like this when she came here, but Hori didn’t seem to like anything similar to monkeys.

“How long are you going to stay? Shouldn’t we leave soon? I want to go to Sangseo as soon as possible.”

“Sangseo? Why Sangseo?”

“Didn’t you say that the only place you have some attachment to in the Water Realm is there? And you said your wife is there, so I want to meet her too.”

He did say that.

The reason he started wandering around the Water Realm in the first place was for Hori.

So, he planned to visit Sangseo someday, so he was planning to look around.

It was close to Chunggye, so it was good to stop by.

“…What are you going to do when you meet her?”

“What am I going to do? She’s the woman you chose, so I want to meet her. And it seems like it will take a long time to melt down the Woncheongang, so I just want to focus on it in a quiet place.”

Because this place is too noisy.

It was uneasy for no reason, but as Hori said, Sangseo was not a bad place to practice quietly.

‘It wouldn’t be bad to have her settle down next to Sangseo.’

There was some land nearby that was not being used. There were several places that had gone bankrupt, such as Yongmagol, and if Cheonbeom put his hand in and turned them upside down, they would be good places to live.

Or it wouldn’t be bad to increase the size of Sangseo a little.

‘I should take Chuk.’

There was a suitable person, so he would do well.

“I’m leaving soon anyway. I got this too, and I heard the story I wanted to hear, so there’s no reason to stay here any longer.”

He had roughly heard the story about Geomnoiltaek and the Great Teacher Wonseon, whose existence had disappeared, from Seondeung Eumseok.

‘He didn’t know much in the first place.’

He seemed to know some great secret, but unfortunately, there wasn’t really anything like that.

The law that Geomnoiltaek had cultivated was related to the sword, and because of that, one of his abilities was the power to cut off existence itself.

He himself didn’t know whether it was related to fate or what it was, but he said that those who were defeated by his sword had their existence erased and became beings that had never existed in the first place.

When he asked how he knew that.

‘It’s because I’m not originally a being belonging to Sangcheon [Upper Heaven].’

‘Is it?’

‘It is….’

That’s what he said.

Seondeung Eumseok was originally a guy who came from another sky similar to Sanggye [High Realm], but somehow he was caught by Wonseon of the Missi family and ended up in this situation.

‘Another sky….’

It was similar to this place, but it was said to be a slightly different place that was not directly connected, but could be reached if certain conditions were met.

Seondeung Eumseok called that place Seongcheon, and he said that there were originally thousands or tens of thousands of skies surrounding the Suseon world [World of Cultivation].

It was said that there were even more lower realms connected to it than that, so many that they couldn’t even be counted, so it was bound to be surprising.

‘I had a hunch, but hearing it like this makes my mind dizzy.’

Seondeung Eumseok said.

This place, called Sanggye and Sangcheon, was a rural area that was not connected to other skies from their point of view, so it was worth exploring.

He said that material resources that did not exist in Seongcheon could exist, and Seondeung Eumseok also came to find them, but he was caught, so there seemed to be no lie in his words.

“Then are you leaving now?”

He stroked Hori’s head, who was urging him like a child, and nodded in affirmation.

“I have to go now. I got what I wanted, and Chuk has also made up his mind.”

“Made up his mind?”

When he turned his gaze to the side at Hori’s question, there were the family members of the Missi family and the head of the Mi family running over in a hurry.

“Thank you on behalf of Ma Yoon-jeong. Great Master Geumcheon.”

“What are you thanking me for?”

“Didn’t you directly eliminate the bad luck that was cast over Ma Yoon-jeong? Of course, we have to thank you!!”

“There’s no need to thank me. I did it because I needed to.”

It was the disturbance he caused.

There was no reason to listen to thanks.

“But… what happened to Seondeung Eumseok…?”

He wondered why they were doing this, but in the end, the reason was Seondeung Eumseok.

It was understandable.

They must have come to find out about Seondeung Eumseok, whom they regarded as their family treasure.

But what should he do with this?

The Geumgobong, which Seondeung Eumseok had transformed into, had long since disappeared from Beom’s hand.

“I took care of Seondeung Eumseok, who was blinded by revenge and spreading murderous intent. I showed him endless hell, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Ah, yes….”

The head of the Mi family wanted to ask more about Seondeung Eumseok, but he couldn’t dare to ask.

The power he showed in the sky above Ma Yoon-jeong was of a dimension that he could not dare to face.

“Where is my grandson?”

“If you mean Young Master Cheon… he’s over there.”

Where the head of the Mi family pointed, there were Cheonchuk and Mi Seodan slowly approaching.

They were a well-matched couple, with a closer distance than before.

As soon as Beom saw the two approaching, he smiled and ordered.

“Get married.”

Then, Seodan blushed as if she was embarrassed, and Chuk let out a manly laugh and answered cheerfully.

“I will.”

Three years later.

A very grand wedding ceremony was held in Ma Yoon-jeong.

Of course, the groom was Chuk of the Cheonga family, and the bride was Seodan of the Mi family.

Many people appeared in Ma Yoon-jeong to bless them, and the Great Master Geumcheon personally officiated the wedding and blessed them, so their story spread far and wide throughout the Water Realm.

The wedding ceremony ended.

A feast where people ate and drank happily.

Mi Se-pa thanked Cheonbeom.

“Are you leaving?”

“I have to go. My companion doesn’t like this place very much.”

“Thank you.”

“Are you so grateful that I’m taking away your only daughter?”

Chuk and Seodan will accompany Cheonbeom to Sangseo.

They still had a lot to learn, and they were a bridge connecting the Mi family and the Cheon family, so they couldn’t stay here.

Cheonbeom was going to take them to a good place next to Sangseo.

It was the perfect place to start the Cheon family.

So, he was asking mischievously.

However, Mi Se-pa smiled kindly as if good was good.

Was this when they used the phrase that his impression had changed?

Even after seeing his smile, Cheonbeom was not at ease.

“I’m a little worried, but what can I do? I’m relieved to have a strong support system when I disappear.”

“You’re talking nonsense. I’ve never had parents, but it’s like the sky is falling for children. Why are you acting like you’re already dead?”

“…Then how am I supposed to live?”

It was a resentful remark.

Even if he heals his wounds, it is difficult to withstand the Cheon Geop [Heavenly Tribulation] in his current state.

There was nothing but the word death that could take its place in front of him.

“I don’t want to hear such words from a man who used to compete with me.”

“When was that….”

“I don’t want to see your weakened appearance, so get out.”

“What?”

When he became angry, Cheonbeom shot a small light at him from his hand.

As something mysterious of light was shot into Mi Se-pa’s side, his body, which was instinctively trying to avoid it, stopped abruptly.

Mi Se-pa felt the change created by the small light and slightly lifted his side.

The hideous wound on his side healed as if time had been turned back, and the energy of death disappeared cleanly.

Moreover, an indescribable vitality began to surge throughout his body.

“Those children are immature. They are still children who need to be under the shadow of adults. Since those children have made a lifelong vow, shouldn’t we watch over them?”

Saying that, Cheonbeom turned around and went his way.

“See you again next time. At that time… I hope to see my friend Mi Se-pa, whom I saw in the past, not a dying face.”

His calm words contained the affection of not wanting to lose a friend. It was a clumsy attitude that he couldn’t express affectionately, but Mi Se-pa, who couldn’t possibly not know his warm heart, knelt down.

And he bowed his head several times so that his forehead touched the ground in the direction he was heading.

“Definitely. Definitely…!”
