Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 561

Tales of Nangsane – Part 2, Episode 270

Bluish dawn.

Several Soo-seons [Lesser Immortals], wearing different dopo [traditional Korean overcoat] gathered and gazed at an ancient-looking Seon-san [Immortal Mountain].

“Is that… the Cheonseon Mountain [Heavenly Immortal Mountain]?”

“Yes, it is said to be the famous Cheonseon Mountain.”

It’s a famous story. A certain So-seon [Novice Immortal] lost his way there.

“They say he met a mysterious child there and obtained a great opportunity.”

“Oh….”

“What kind of opportunity are you talking about?”

“From what I’ve heard, it is said that just one bite fills you with Seon-gi [Immortal energy] and allows you to break through barriers. The power of that Seon-cho [Immortal herb] is so great that it shows you a fleeting illusion, awakening the potential of the consumer and giving them great enlightenment!”

“!!”

Such an amazing Seon-cho!

Desire burned in the eyes of the gathered Soo-seons.

“Do you know its name?”

“It’s called Hwanmong Yeorak [Illusion Dream Delight]. The one who ate it was just a So-seon, but he instantly became a Sang-seon [High Immortal] in the late stage, and his contribution was recognized, becoming a Double Seon [Elite Immortal] of the Tongcheon Water Palace! Later, he ascended to Hyang-seon [Fragrant Immortal] and gained wealth, fame, and even power, so how can it not be considered great!”

After becoming a Sang-seon, you would have to break through a total of three barriers.

It goes without saying that only then would you be qualified to ascend to Hyang-seon.

But a Seon-cho that breaks through such barriers at once! It’s hard not to be greedy.

“If he’s such a great person, we must know his name!”

“Could you possibly know?”

“Huh! Do you not trust me now?”

“It’s not that, it’s just to be sure. It’s always good to be sure.”

“Well, listen carefully then. I’ll only say it once!”

Whisper, whisper.

The eyes of the Soo-seons widened like lanterns upon hearing the name.

“What! Bi, Bihae?! Double Seon Bihae?! That person was here?!”

“Hey! Don’t be so loud!”

“Ah, ahem. Sorry….”

“Come to think of it, I’ve heard of it. I heard that he used to be involved in the Ministry of State Affairs and is close to the current Cheon Clan, so he often visits here.”

Double Seon Bihae.

A famous Seon in the Soo Gye [Immortal Realm].

He was a roughneck in his youth, but due to some opportunity, he became a Seon that everyone couldn’t help but look up to.

He is now a highly respected Soo-seon in charge of the Double Seon Unit.

“Th, then let’s go quickly!”

“There’s no time for this! Let’s go!”

The Soo-seons climbed the mountain with excited hearts. The fog was quite thick, and Cheonseon Mountain had a unique energy, so they couldn’t use Dun-sul [Invisibility Technique].

How could they spread Dun-gwang [Invisible Light] when they couldn’t see even an inch ahead?

So, they placed Geum-je [Protective Amulets] on each other to avoid getting lost and slowly began to climb the mountain step by step.

And three days after starting to climb the mountain.

After much hardship, they finally discovered a building.

“Oh, there….”

It looked like a Yak-jae Garden [Medicinal Herb Garden].

Shallow fences surrounded it on all sides, and although there was no door, there was space to pass through.

Inside, various Seon-cho were vibrantly showing off their energy.

Although it was difficult to see clearly due to the thick fog, it seemed to possess an extraordinary and profound aura at first glance.

The Soo-seons couldn’t help but think that this was the place where Double Seon Unit Leader Bihae had obtained his opportunity.

“Oh! Look there. Someone….”

Inside, there was a young child who seemed to be managing the Seon-cho.

“Excuse me….”

The child holding the basket was a girl, and strangely, she had white hair and blue eyes.

The clothes she was wearing were also antique, so she looked like a child from a noble family at first glance.

The Soo-seons exchanged glances at the appearance of the mysterious child and coughed dryly.

“Ahem, I have something to ask, so can you come here for a moment?”

One of the Soo-seons called out to the child, but the child just stared blankly and did not follow his words.

The face of the Soo-seon who was ignored by the girl turned red.

The energy he felt at first glance was no different from other So-seons, but he was angry that she ignored him like that.

‘If she’s really from a noble family, she wouldn’t be managing Yak-cho [Medicinal Herbs].’

Thinking that, anger surged.

“You! Can’t you come here quickly!”

However, the child remained still even at the Soo-seon’s roar, and then suddenly picked up one of the Seon-cho in the basket.

“Could that be Hwanmong Yeorak?”

“Judging from its unusual appearance, it seems so! Quickly hand it over!”

The nameless girl frowned at the attitude of demanding it as if it were her own.

“You’re bad people.”

Crack!!

From the child’s feet, pure white cold air spread rapidly in all directions.

“Huh!”

In an instant, the child froze an area of four Jang [approximately 12 meters] in radius, and the two Soo-seons couldn’t even scream and froze solid.

The ones who were behind barely managed to escape, but they were so surprised that they couldn’t even open their mouths, only opening their mouths and eyes wide.

‘It’s not the power of a So-seon.’

But the energy it emitted was that of a So-seon, so it was impossible to know what was going on.

“Taking something that isn’t yours and demanding it as if you’ve left it somewhere is no different from stealing. Why don’t you have such basic manners?”

The Soo-seons were dumbfounded at the child’s sighing attitude.

“Wh, who are you….”

“Do you know the name of this Seon-san?”

“It’s called Cheonseon Mountain… I know.”

“Yes, my name is Cheon Ga [Heavenly Beauty], using the Seon that means beautiful. This mountain is my mountain.”

The owner of the mountain!!

“The moment you set foot on this mountain, I have the justification to punish you intruders. Please leave.”

Cheon Ga, using the Seon that means beautiful.

Cheonseon (天鮮).

There are only a few who can dare to use the Cheon surname in the Soo Gye.

Except for the descendants of the Geumcheon Daesa [Golden Sky Great Master], the Cheon Clan.

‘But it could be a lie….’

The nameless Soo-seon asked a question with a dubious mind.

“Then, by any chance, do you know someone named Cheon Chuk from the Cheon Clan?”

“I know him. He’s my grandson in terms of rank.”

Then the Soo-seon let out a hollow laugh and drew his sword.

“There’s no way the grandmother of Cheon Chuk, the head of the Cheon Clan, would be a So-seon like you! How dare you utter such lies! Aren’t you afraid of the heavens! What are you doing? I must cut off that girl’s tongue right now!”

The Soo-seon, who was trying to attack Cheonseon by wielding his Beop-gi [Mystic Weapon], sighed.

“It’s true….”

But the attitude of the So-seons does not change.

They each took out their Beop-gi and tried to kill her, so there was no choice.

“Don’t blame me for being late, as this is the choice you have made.”

“Hmph, I don’t know what kind of magic a mere So-seon used to freeze them, but it won’t work on me!”

Flames soared around the So-seon.

The fog cleared at once, and the moisture dried up completely.

He was a Seon whose main focus was Hwasin-tong [Fire God Technique].

“I clearly warned you.”

Hoooong.

It was then.

“Th, the Geum-gwang (金光) [Golden Light]….”

Cheonseon’s white hair and blue eyes began to turn golden.

At the same time, the surroundings were dyed golden, and the surroundings shone brilliantly.

The Soo-seons were stunned by the sight of the Geum-gwang defeating the darkness.

Moreover, the golden flames that ignited it, the Geumcheon Ji-hwa [Golden Sky Divine Fire] that only the direct line of the Cheon Clan could master, appeared, so it was impossible not to be surprised.

“Th, the Geumcheon Ji-hwa!!”

“What that girl said was true!!”

Just as they were about to run away in great shock.

“I told you. It’s already too late.”

Kwaaaaaaa!!

The ground under their feet burst into flames, and a pillar of fire soared to the sky.

The foolish Soo-seons were burned and disappeared in the flames of Geumcheon Ji-hwa in an instant, and soon the sun rose and greeted the morning.

A landscape with not even ashes left.

Cheonseon, who sighed at the sight, turned around.

“Wasn’t that too harsh?”

Flustered.

Surprised, she looked around and saw a man smiling at Cheonseon.

He exuded a cozy and warm energy, and he was the man known to the world as Geumcheon [Golden Sky], the owner of the golden sky.

And her one and only father.

“Father.”

It was Cheonbeom.

“I warned them.”

She pouted as if she didn’t really want to do that.

Cheonbeom smiled contentedly at the cute sight and patted his daughter’s shoulder.

“You take after your mother so much that your hand is still fierce.”

“Lately, strange rumors have been spreading, and there have been many people invading my mountain.”

“But you didn’t bother to ask for help. If you had just told me, I would have placed a strong Geum-je to prevent them from coming.”

She didn’t do it on purpose.

“You’re enjoying it too, aren’t you? You sly girl.”

When he flicked her nose with his finger, she smiled shyly as if she was embarrassed.

“I’m just giving rewards to those with kind hearts and punishing those with evil hearts. Just like Father!”

“You.”

Cheonbeom picked up his daughter and teleported to the top of the mountain.

When they reached the top of the mountain, which was named Cheonseon Mountain, the ground below was clearly visible as if they were standing on the clouds.

It was so high that Sangseo [Upper Realm] and Cheonjeong [Heavenly Garden], which were in contact with each other, could be seen together.

But when Cheonbeom turned his hand once, the scenery changed and the entire area under the sky of Sangcheon [High Heaven] became visible at once.

“Wow- do you rule all of this, Father?”

Beom shook his head at Cheonseon’s question.

“I don’t rule.”

“Yes? Why?”

“That’s how it is originally. Just looking at it and existing is enough, that’s what the sky is.”

The sky only exists.

It fulfills its duty by existing.

That is the sky he desires.

“I don’t understand. Isn’t it good to help them live better? You have the power to do that, Father.”

That may be true.

If he intervened like that, more people might live comfortably.

But that is neither the ideal he desires nor the sky he desires.

“When you grow up a little more, the day may come when you understand this father’s heart. No, I hope so.”

Beom put Seon down and went down the mountain.

His back looked like he wouldn’t be able to see her for a long time, so Seon shouted sullenly.

“Where are you going? Mother said she’d punish you if you disappeared again!”

Then he replied.

“It is my destiny to flow with the clouds and the wind.”

I am everywhere and nowhere. Don’t be sad because you can see me whenever you want if you want to.

If necessary.

“I will dye the sky at any time.”

Seon just pouted at the ambiguous way of speaking.

“Your mother will be fine too, so don’t worry too much.”

“Why?”

At the child’s question, Cheonbeom looked up at the sky with deep eyes and replied.

“I will create a new sky.”

Different from this place.

A new story.

Tales of Nangsane (浪仙奇幻談)

The End

Postscript.

Was it two years ago?

The writing I wrote without much thought has come this far.

Perhaps because I used the pen name Nangsane, I ended up wandering around various platforms.

Looking back now, they are all memories.

I think it is polite to first express my gratitude to those who have read Cheonbeom’s story so far.

Thank you.

I’m not sure how to express my gratitude for reading to the end, even though you may have been bored or sleepy while watching my poor writing skills.

Of course, if I say this, you will ask me to repay you with an extra story.

So, I’m thinking of showing you a little bit of the story of the Baekseon Sect [White Immortal Sect] as an extra story.

Of course, it also contains a little bit of the story of the Baekseon Sect after the years without Cheonbeom and the Yoho [Fox Spirits] you are curious about.

However, you may not be able to see the extra story right away.

My heart is in the right place, but there are adult interests such as events involved, so please wait for a while.

I’ve been talking too much.

Thank you again, and I will step down now.

Thank you for loving Tales of Nangsane.
