Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 60  Ch 60: Truth (1)

Emrys didn't linger at the mansion. After sharing what he deemed good enough with Rohan and the others, he bid them farewell and departed.

As he walked away, a strange feeling settled over him. Deep down, he sensed that it would be a long time before he saw Rohan again.

As for Cairo, he could not say anything about him for the time being. After all, even though he spent a few days with Cairo, he was not close in the end. Moreover, it seems his actions of killing three people back then had changed Cairo's thoughts about him.

.....

"I'm home!" Emrys's voice echoed through the house as he entered. His mother, Slivya, opened the door for him.

"Where have you been for the past two weeks? I was so worried about you!" Slivya asked, taking the backpack from Emrys and following him inside. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Emrys froze. He suddenly turned to his mother and exclaimed, "What did you say? I've been away for two weeks?"

Slivya, confused at first, seemed to realize something, her eyes flashing briefly before her expression returned to normal. She nodded, "Yes, you've been away for two weeks!"

"How can that be? I'm sure it has been just a week. Could it be that the time flow is different inside that fractured space?" Emrys was utterly confused and shocked. His mind could not find a proper reason to satisfy his confusion for a few moments.

'As expected!' Slivya's expression clearly conveyed these words, though Emrys was too preoccupied to notice. He was astonished to realize that time inside the fractured space moved more slowly than in the real world. One day in the fractured space equaled nearly two days outside.

But why? Could it be because that spatial zone was not complete but just a fractured space evolved from a Seed?

"Fractured space? Did you go inside a Pocket Dimension?" Slivya asked, though she already suspected the answer. She pretended to be curious.

Emrys nodded. "Yes. You remember that abandoned mansion on the outskirts of the city, right? The one where I used to play as a child?"

"That mansion?" Slivya nodded. "Yes, I remember it. What about it?"

"A strange phenomenon took place inside that mansion. Whoever entered never returned. You know Rohan, right? I went in with him to investigate and we ended up in an entirely new spatial zone. That zone was actually a fractured space, forcefully controlled by the infamous Darkborne Family, the family full of villains. They were forcefully transforming hundreds of Soul Masters into Soul Demons. Who knows what they are truly planning? Those people are truly too vicious."

While speaking, he sat down comfortably on the sofa, picking up a fruit from the center table in front of him and taking a bite. He chewed thoughtfully before continuing, "It's unbelievable how far they'll go. The things I saw there... Sigh. Anyway, I did not enter the mansion for nothing. I obtained a lot of benefits inside."

As Emrys said, his eyes lit up with excitement. He looked at his mother full of joy and continued, "You know what, I am now already a powerful Silver Soul Master. Isn't this amazing? I was still an Ordinary Soul Master one week... Cough, two weeks ago. But in such a short period, my strength skyrocketed and I reached the level of a Silver Soul Master!"

Slivya could, of course, see through Emrys's cultivation. Although she was puzzled at first, she was not surprised at all. It is because she believed that her and Alex's blood flowing within Emrys's body was not just for show. He is their son, how can he be ordinary?

As if she recalled something, the expression on her face changed suddenly. She then said, "Son, I have to tell you something."

"Umm?" Emrys frowned.

This was the first time he had seen Slivya so serious. He suddenly remembered Elysia's words: that he was cursed by the Curse of Echoing Silence and should not have awakened the Soul Mark. Even if he did awaken it, it should not be a Spatial-attributed one but a Soul Mark with a different attribute.

When he asked Elysia for the reason, she told him to ask his parents. The meaning behind words was obvious. His parents knew about his situation very well but had chosen not to tell him for some reason.

"What is it?" Emrys asked seriously.

The sudden shift in his expression startled Slivya a little, but she didn't dwell on it. "Actually, I have a lot to tell you, but we don't have much time. I have to leave and go meet your father."

"Where is Dad? Has he not yet come back?" Emrys still remembered that his father had told him before leaving that he was going to share his happiness with old friends living in different cities and would be back soon.

Shaking her head, Slivya explained, "No, he hasn't come back. But he sent me a letter. He wants me to find him in the Ice Lord Valley."

"Ice Lord Valley?"

This was the first time Emrys had heard this name. He couldn't recall any such place in the entire Great Flame Kingdom.

Slivya soon cleared his doubts, saying, "The Ice Lord Valley is not in the Great Flame Kingdom. In fact, it isn't located in any country. It's a free place situated at the edge of the Celestial Horizon. One day, when you truly become a powerful Soul Master who can travel anywhere in the entire Infinite Soul Star without restrictions, you'll be qualified to enter the Celestial Horizon."

The name "Ice Lord Valley" already sounded mysterious to Emrys, but "Celestial Horizon" made him take a deep breath. To travel to the Celestial Horizon, he would need the strength to go anywhere in the Infinite Soul Star without restrictions.

What did that mean?

He was certain that the known Purple Crystal Soul Master level wasn't the highest realm of cultivation. There had to be more levels beyond this stage.

How long would it take him to reach the level of the strongest in the Infinite Soul Star?

His thoughts raced because, in his mind, only the strongest could roam freely across the Infinite Soul Star without facing any obstacles. If he wants to go there, he has to become the strongest as well.
