Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 580

Special Side Story 6

Looking at the Tamhwa [a mystical flower with potent spiritual energy] wrapped around his wrist,

he gave a faint smile.

“How is it?”

In response to his question,

Tamhwa answered him with her thoughts.

“It’s a relief.”

According to Tamhwa, she could be digested at any time.

It might be a bit heavy, but there’s no better way to prepare for a possible emergency.

Besides, even if she were to escape using some secret art he didn’t know, Tamhwa wouldn’t let go of something she had already bitten into.

“This should be enough.”

With the Golden Celestial Chart inside Tamhwa as well,

he could leave Seo Hwangmo [a powerful celestial being] alone now. There were many things to ask her, but nothing was urgent. He could find her and ask her anytime, so there was no need to rush. Also, Ji Duin Heogong had seen her bowing her head, so he should be able to use most of Seo Hwangryeong [Seo Hwangmo’s celestial domain].

“She also uses fire. There might be a Law Codex [a collection of magical laws and principles] I can use.”

Even if not, he seemed to need time to sort out his thoughts.

The distant future she had shown him.

In that place, he was somehow very angry.

The reason was not clear.

However, the Golden Celestial True Lord of the future held a thousand fires in his heart and poured all his anger on the absolutes.

Of course, even Seo Hwangmo of Seo Hwangryeong.

Was no exception.

“Hwaran [his sword’s name]. What do you think of this situation?”

Clang.

He drew Hwaran from its scabbard and asked her, but she didn’t answer for some reason.

She had been talkative last time, so he had sealed her away, and it seemed she was sulking quite a bit.

He smacked his lips and slowly left the main hall of Seo Hwangryeong.

“Cheondo Seon Sanghee of Seo Hwangryeong greets the Great Lord of Other Heavens.”

As if waiting, Sanghee prostrated herself as he came out of the main hall. He already had a headache, so he rubbed his temples as he lowered his head.

However, it was also ambiguous to tell her all the facts.

“Let’s go.”

“Oh, where to…?”

“I need to go to the library where the miscellaneous records and codices of Seo Hwangryeong are kept.”

“Great Lord, please don’t use honorifics with someone like me.”

“Will you call me Great Lord, Hee?”

“But…”

“It’s okay. Be comfortable like before. I can’t tell you the details, but I don’t remember ever lying to Hee.”

“…Really?”

“Yes.”

However, one thing.

“Don’t tell others my real name.”

“Then what…?”

“Call me Geumcheon [his assumed name]. Anyway, I’ll soon be called that.”

It was a bit strange to be called Nangseon in Daeracheon [a higher celestial realm].

“Yes! I understand!”

It was fortunate that Sanghee was so innocent.

If it had been someone else, they would have stubbornly refused, and he would have had to tell them many stories.

“But why the library?”

“I want to read the Law Codex of Daeracheon, and according to Seo Hwangmo, there’s a useful magical artifact there.”

“A magical artifact?”

“Yes. Regardless of the boundaries of the sky.”

A water mirror that can reflect.

Whether it’s alive or not.

The Great Celestial Silver River Water Mirror that reflects everything.

It was located in the magical artifact storage next to the library of Seo Hwangryeong.

Geumcheon wanted to see with it.

From the faces he missed to the comrades he didn’t know where they had disappeared to.

And if possible.

‘The teacher of the mountain who blocked the Upper Heaven [a lower celestial realm].’

The one who was called Hwangcheon [a powerful celestial being].

* * *

“Damn it.”

A strange man with nine voices mixed in one word.

A tragic ferocious beast who was originally from Daeracheon but was expelled to Yumu Gan [a desolate and dangerous realm].

A dragon with nine heads.

Guyeong [the nine-headed dragon] was wandering around Daeracheon.

He had cooperated to break through the firmly blocked sky of Daeracheon,

“But I can’t see where that bastard went, and what the hell am I doing?”

His base had long since disappeared. Now, even its shape was unrecognizable, and he couldn’t find anyone he had a connection with.

On top of that, he had fallen into a muddy place with a foul smell, and the ground was all swampy, making it difficult to even walk.

Then why not fly?

One might say, but Guyeong was originally an existence chased by the True Immortals [powerful celestial beings].

Having returned to Daeracheon and being isolated, he had to be careful about even the smallest things.

Even more so because the Geumje [a magical seal or restriction] they had placed on him was still alive.

“Where the hell is this place, damn it!”

Daeracheon was said to be the best of the thousands and tens of thousands of skies in terms of size.

Even Guyeong, who was in Daeracheon, the best of the 36 largest skies, didn’t know some places.

This area was like a garbage dump, with all sorts of nauseating smells and piles of miscellaneous corpses and garbage.

Just as Guyeong was cursing his miserable situation for falling into such a place, even though he had fallen,

-Even after coming to Daeracheon, that bastard’s personality hasn’t changed.

Hmm.

The telepathic message suddenly heard in his ear made Guyeong stop.

“Who is it?”

He spread his senses and looked around, but there wasn’t even an ant in the area.

-An existence no different from you.

“If you’re going to play word games, show your face. I’ll tear that unlucky voice apart right now… wait a minute.”

Unlucky voice?

Thinking about it, one guy came to mind.

“You, Geumcheon?”

A strange sense of joy was felt in Guyeong’s various voices.

They had once tried to kill each other, but now, he couldn’t help but be happy to hear that unlucky voice.

-I don’t think there are any True Immortals looking for you in the sky of Daera.

“Looking at the way you talk, it’s definitely Geumcheon. Where are you? I think I can greet even your face with joy right now.”

-I’m in Seo Hwangryeong. Can you come?

“Seo Hwangryeong? How did you get there…?”

Guyeong frowned as if he was feeling uneasy.

-No, I don’t think that’s necessary. Do you know about the magical artifact called the Great Celestial Silver River Water Mirror?

“The Great Celestial Silver River Water Mirror!? Of course, I know it! That’s right! You’re using it to send me a telepathic message! Then it’s easy to understand.”

-Then there’s no need to say more. The mirror will be going soon, so come over here.

“I will!”

The Great Celestial Silver River Water Mirror was one of the space magical artifacts that used mirrors.

It was a fairly famous artifact even in Daeracheon, and with it, it was not difficult to cross space.

Soon, the air in front of Guyeong rippled, and a mirror-like shape appeared. Then, as if waiting, Guyeong jumped into it.

Whoosh.

At the same time, his body stretched like rubber, repeatedly shrinking and expanding in all directions until his feet touched the ground.

Thud.

Guyeong’s nose twitched.

From a place with a terrible smell that made him want to vomit, a clean and cozy scent stung his nose.

“Geumcheon.”

The corners of Guyeong’s mouth went up.

But on the contrary, Geumcheon’s complexion frowned.

“It smells. Guyeong.”

“Nice to see you, Geumcheon!”

But Guyeong didn’t care and showed his joy. He stretched out his arms towards Geumcheon as if to hug him.

“If you take one more step, I might send you back to where you were with the Great Celestial Silver River Water Mirror.”

“Tsk, how cold. That’s why you’re not loved by your children.”

“Sorry, but I’m a prouder father than anyone to my children.”

“That’s just what you think.”

Guyeong’s attitude of snorting and answering was very unpleasant.

“If you want to die, what can’t you say? Tell me if you want to right now. I’ll return you to nothing right away.”

Guyeong avoided his gaze at Geumcheon’s fierce answer.

“Is this Seo Hwangryeong? It’s quite charming.”

“Shut up and take a bath first.”

“Yes, I know better than anyone that I’m a mess. I’ll do that. I’ve been walking through a muddy place for quite a while. I’ll have to be in a hot bath for about a month.”

“Hee, take this person to a bath where he can wash.”

“Yes, I understand!”

Hee covered her nose and took Guyeong to the bath. And he really didn’t come out of the bath for about a month.

One month later.

Inside a pavilion in Seo Hwangryeong.

Guyeong looked like he had been completely transformed, unlike his shabby appearance in the past.

This was because he was decorated with clothes and accessories given by Seo Hwangryeong.

“Nice to see you again. The other guys may have all died, but I thought you would be alive. I reunited sooner than I thought.”

“I also thought you would be alive somewhere.”

Wasn’t he the one who lived without any problems even in Yumu Gan?

Seeing him like this, he guessed that Guyeong would also be alive.

That’s why he was able to find him with the Great Celestial Silver River Water Mirror.

In the first place, in order to use it, there had to be items containing the energy of a specific person.

Guyeong had given Geumcheon blood before, so he was able to find him more easily with it.

“What are you going to do now?”

“What do you mean?”

“Shouldn’t we tear those bastards who insulted you and me to death!”

Yes. What was the reason why Guyeong and Geumcheon were constantly trying to open the sky to Daeracheon?

Daeracheon.

And the beings in that place.

It was because of the great cause of overturning everything and unfolding a new meaning.

“First of all, that Hwangcheon who blocked the sky of the Upper Heaven? Maybe he’s called by another name here. Finding him would be the first thing to do. Thanks to those bastards, I, who was already kicked out, was not enough to open Daera.”

The teacher of the mountain, Hwangcheon.

A True Immortal who rose to the sky from the Upper Heaven.

The three-in-one Great Teacher of the Upper Heaven.

“There is someone I suspect.”

“Have you already approached that far?”

At the question of who it was, Geumcheon paused for a moment.

“It seems difficult to say it carelessly. That’s understandable.”

So Guyeong put his hand in the teacup and moved the tea to make letters on the table.

It was a request to write it down.

Then Geumcheon also moved the tea and wrote letters in the air like him.

Kwaang!

Immediately startled, he shouted.

“No way!!”

The letters written in the air were one.

Three.

This meant the Three Pure Ones of Daera [the highest deities in Daeracheon].

The Jade Pure One is called the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

The Supreme Pure One is called the Numinous Treasure Celestial Venerable.

The Grand Pure One is called the Moral Celestial Venerable. These are titles for beings who are fused with the laws that have reached the end of the sky.

Celestial Venerable.

Geumcheon’s enemy is the sky.

It has changed and changed again from the past to the present, but his enemy has always been the sky.

And he always will.

Will break the sky.

“…Are you sure?”

Guyeong asked with uneasy eyes, and Geumcheon laughed.

“Didn’t I say it was a suspicion?”

“Hmm… that’s right. But Geumcheon, it would be better if your suspicion ended only as a suspicion. Otherwise, you’ll just look up at the sky and go crazy with despair.”

But Geumcheon didn’t care about Guyeong’s advice.

In the distant past.

And now, he has always made those who reached the sky his enemies, and thus he rose up and broke them all.

“Guyeong, you haven’t forgotten our oath when we opened Daeracheon, have you?”

“…I did.”

“What did I say then?”

“Did you say you would devour Daeracheon?”

“My intention hasn’t changed much since then. I won’t be much different here than I was in the Upper Heaven.”

If there is a place to go up but you don’t go up, nothing will change.

The absence of change means death.

I don’t want to live like a living corpse after climbing up here.

I’ve been hiding like a rat all this time.

Then, when I gained strength, I straightened my shoulders.

But I don’t want to live like that even in Daera.

“So there’s something I need you to do.”

“Me? What is it?”

“Spread some rumors.”

“Rumors?”

“Yes, rumors.”

That a True Immortal of Daera Chul [a newly ascended immortal], who has just risen from the Upper Heaven, is discussing the Three Pure Ones.

That he is discussing Daera.

“If you do that, tails will appear.”

“If you catch them?”

“Won’t the head come out too?”

Slap! Guyeong hit his knee and nodded with a sinister smile.

“It’s a perfect job to die for!”

But that’s why it’s tempting.

It’s something that only crazy people can do, but that’s why I like it.

Guyeong is a man among men.

The reason he was originally kicked out of Daera was because he had defiled one of the skies they cherished with his mischief.

“I can’t live like a rat after being born as a man! Aam! I’ll do that right away!”

Guyeong was already looking forward to the future of Daeracheon.

Without knowing that he was being used as bait.
