Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 532

Tales of Nangsane – Part 2, Episode 241

After leaving Mayoonjung.

Cheonbeom leisurely traveled around the Water Realm with the Cheonchuk couple.

After holding the wedding in Mayoonjung.

Cheonbeom didn’t want to intrude on the newlyweds’ privacy, so he decided to extend his travels, postponing their date. However, he couldn’t refuse Hori’s persistent requests to quickly head to Sangseo and begin his seclusion.

They spent several years traveling the Water Realm, enjoying the scenery and each other’s company.

Finally, they arrived near Sangseo.

“Yongma Valley, huh.”

On a warm, sunny afternoon.

Cheonbeom gazed at the misty valley bathed in the midday sun and spoke.

It was a place filled with memories.

Swish.

Cheonbeom unfolded his folding fan made of Seondeung Stone [a type of magical stone that radiates warmth] and fanned himself, recalling old memories with amusement.

“Is this the place?”

Cheonchuk had matured noticeably in just a few years.

Perhaps it was marriage, or the responsibility of protecting his wife, but he seemed more grown-up.

As a great-grandfather, Cheonbeom felt a pang of sadness, but also a surge of pride when he looked at him.

“Yes, Yongma Valley is not far from Sangseo. When I first Ascended… no. The first place I set foot on in the Water Realm after Ascending was Yongma Valley.”

It was a distant memory now.

When he first arrived at Yongma Valley after Ascending, he was greatly disappointed.

It was the place that shattered his illusions about immortals and forced him to confront reality, leaving him unsure whether to be grateful or resentful….

“So, is this the place you completely destroyed and ruined as soon as you Ascended?”

Hori asked, looking at the misty Yongma Valley spread out below the cliff.

“You haven’t changed at all. If you destroy everything you visit, what will be left? You did the same in the Lower Realm….”

“Ahem.”

Cheonbeom coughed, embarrassed by the accusation of being a god of destruction. Cheonchuk and Seodan forced smiles and looked around awkwardly.

“I destroyed them because they deserved it. Those who called themselves immortals intentionally harmed other families for their own selfish desires and didn’t hesitate to use others as pawns. They received the punishment they deserved.”

He couldn’t deny his actions were extreme, but Cheonbeom would make the same choice again if given the chance.

The Hwang family of Yongma Valley deserved their fate.

“The story went a bit off track. Chuk-ah. And daughter-in-law.”

“Yes, Great-Grandfather.”

“This Yongma Valley is where you will live. What do you think of it?”

“Of course, we are grateful.”

Cheonchuk bowed his head, but Cheonbeom suspected he wasn’t entirely pleased.

There were many better lands in the Water Realm than Yongma Valley.

Simply put, Yongma Valley was an outer region in the south of the Water Realm, a place full of valleys as its name suggested.

It was also humid and foggy, making it less than ideal for fertile land.

“How could I not know your true feelings? You probably don’t like this place very much. It has no great advantages except for being quiet.”

“No, Great-Grandfather. We are newlyweds, so this quiet place is perfect for us. Besides, although we are starting a new branch of the Cheon family, we don’t want to rely solely on you or our parents.”

“Yes, this much land is more than enough for us to cultivate step by step.”

They spoke so eloquently.

“I’m grateful for your words. But I didn’t choose this land just because it’s quiet.”

“Then….”

“First, it’s close to Sangseo. Sangseo is the land I cherish the most. It’s also where my wife’s family is located, so you can get a lot of help.”

A family isn’t just built by constructing a house.

People gather, commerce develops, and interaction occurs, transforming it into a village.

To become a thriving village and city, it’s faster to grow through exchanges with neighboring areas, such as trade.

“From what I’ve heard, Sangseo has a lively distribution of magical artifacts, and recently, they have even started supplying Tongcheonsugung [a prestigious palace known for its strict standards], which has strict screening criteria. It’s only a matter of time before Sangseo prospers, and with their wealth, you can quickly achieve your family’s prosperity by developing together.”

However, Yongma Valley was in poor condition.

Perhaps due to neglect, the bushes were overgrown, and many magical beasts and immortal insects had gathered, but that could be easily remedied.

“I will also take care of the humidity unique to Yongma Valley, so don’t worry. This is where you will settle down and live, so take a good look at it.”

The Hwang family’s settlement was destroyed by Cheonbeom, so they would have to choose a new ancestral tomb. If not, they could create a new foundation for the family to settle on for generations.

“Okay, I’ll give you this.”

Five small mountains appeared, spinning in Cheonbeom’s grasp.

Each was a sacred mountain with powerful energy.

They were the Five Elements Extreme Mountains.

The Five Elements Extreme Mountains, each with different attributes, were powerful treasures even if used as magical artifacts, but they didn’t have to be.

“The name Yongma Valley comes from the fact that Hwangryong, the ancestor of the Hwang family, was buried here and became a mountain, forming a valley.”

But Cheonbeom didn’t like that name very much.

“It would be good to erase all the valleys and build these Five Elements Extreme Mountains.”

They were extreme mountains that had existed as magical artifacts for a long time, and the fullness of the energy contained within them was extraordinary because Cheonbeom possessed them.

“What? Isn’t one of them a mountain you’ve had since the Lower Realm? Are you going to give it to them now?”

Among them was Tanhanyeosan, which he had since the Lower Realm. It was refined, and a phoenix entrusted its body to it, transforming into Subongyeosan, an extreme mountain.

It was somewhat special to Cheonbeom, but now it wasn’t very useful to him. What could be more valuable than giving it to the beginning of the family that bore his surname and his great-grandson’s?

“It’s like a white elephant to me [something valuable but burdensome]. Besides, what wouldn’t I give for my great-grandson?”

“Great-Grandfather….”

“Let’s reorganize it with that in mind. It was the land of the guys I slaughtered, but now it will change.”

Whoosh.

Three colors of mysterious light emanated from Cheonbeom’s grasp.

It was Cheonbeom’s flame with the law of creation.

It was Samcheonchohwa [Primordial Chaos Flame].

“In my name, Cheonbeom, I will erase the energy of Hwangryong here, and now I will cultivate it anew to be the land for my bloodline.”

Whoosh.

Samcheonchohwa disappeared into the mist of Yongma Valley with the wind.

But soon, with its unique mysterious light, it cleanly removed the fog from the center and brought about amazing changes.

“Ah… the forest.”

Rustle.

Dead leaves and trees turned into golden ashes and disappeared, and soon a living, fresh forest appeared.

Koo-roo-roong!!

The valleys that were intertwined and blocked all sides also collapsed and were cleanly burned, and the uneven terrain was flattened as if the sand grains on the beach were straightened by the soft waves.

“Go.”

Cheonbeom, who flattened the enormous land at once, sent away the five extreme mountains that were circling in his hand.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

They flew away and fell in order.

As they fell in their original huge mountain form, the guys who had tremendous energy even when they were in Cheonbeom’s hand showed their original appearance and emitted even more intense yet gentle energy in all directions.

“Oh my….”

With a single gesture, Yongma Valley was completely transformed into a completely different place that was unrecognizable.

The eyes of Cheonchuk and Seodan, who were looking at Cheonbeom who had accomplished such a thing, could not help but be filled with awe.

“I think I’ve done everything I need to do. How is it? Do you like it?”

“Of course!! It’s too much….”

“Chuk-ah, aren’t you the master who will lead the Cheon family from now on? Don’t say it’s too much with this much. A man’s heart must have a vessel that can hold the sea.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Tap tap.

Cheonbeom, who patted him on the shoulder, had a satisfied smile on his face.

“That’s enough.”

Cheonbeom planted a few powerful seals on the extreme mountains and a few sacred trees from the Seoncho [a type of mystical plant] that were left over from Gongjeonggang and the Gye Gye Ohgyeong [sacred texts], and he also made a small pond and pavilion because it wasn’t enough.

“Hoo- Let’s just do this much today. I was going to make you a honeymoon home, but that would be your pleasure. It’s still a long way to sunset, so hurry up and decide where to build it.”

“Yes! Thank you!”

Seodan, who was about to fly away, stopped with Chuk and looked at Beom.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Great-Grandfather. We can’t call this Yongma Valley anymore, can we?”

It was Seodan.

“That’s right.”

“Then how about Great-Grandfather decides for us? This place, which will be the beginning of the Cheon family, was newly born today, so if you do so, we will gain strength from the name and prosper for generations.”

Now Seodan was also a member of the Cheon family.

Who would refuse when the great-grandson’s daughter-in-law spoke so sincerely?

“Okay. Since you say so, I’ll give this place a new name.”

Beom pondered for a moment and said with his hands behind his back as if he had thought of something.

“Cheonjeong (天庭). Cheonjeong would be good.”

Heavenly court in the sky.

It means the yard of the sky.

“It means a place in the yard before entering the house called heaven.”

It was a name made on the spot, but Cheonbeom liked it very much.

“Cheonjeong… I don’t think there could be a better name than this.”

“It’s a good name, Great-Grandfather.”

“Okay, go quickly.”

Tat.

Cheonchuk and Seodan, who turned into streaks of light in an instant, settled near Subongyeosan among the Five Elements Extreme Mountains soaring high in the sky.

Cheonbeom nodded contentedly and glanced at Hori next to him.

“Even if you don’t go to Sangseo, it wouldn’t be bad to go down to the extreme mountain full of golden spirits that you sent down and train.”

“It’s okay. Isn’t it a pretty long job [referring to Cheonbeom’s seclusion]?”

“That’s enough. You gave it to those children, and as an adult, I can’t take the children’s things.”

“When did you start acting so mature all of a sudden?”

“I was watching Chuk-i like my grandson. I’m not so shameless as to reach out for a child’s gift.”

If it’s Cheonbeom’s great-grandson, is it the same as his great-grandson?

He didn’t know when he became attached, but he seemed to have some awareness of being an adult.

“Shall we go to Sangseo?”

“Yes. I want to go. Didn’t you say that you gave so many things and achieved development? Besides, the mistress there is your wife… you said she was a woman who was reincarnated from a relationship in the Lower Realm, so I want to see her at least once.”

He was worried that there might be a commotion, but since she wanted to see her so much, there was nothing he couldn’t show her.

It had been a long time since he last left Sangseo, and there were things to make in Sangseo.

Cheonbeom glanced at the sun in the sky and nodded involuntarily.

“I was going to have you greet each other someday.”

Saha may have seen Hori, but it was Ogyeonggyeju who took over her body.

He’d have to introduce himself again.

And….

‘I should call Choa too.’

He should explain about the space Cheonbeom created and have a greeting.

It would be good to have a chance to talk about things he hadn’t been able to talk about.

“I don’t know why, but there are those who haven’t been called.”
