Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 113: Ch 113: A Ray from the Sun of Mysteries

Emrys was relieved. If the other soul truly gains his personality along with his memories, then there is indeed a huge probability for him to act exactly like him, and care for his parents.

Taking a deep breath, he asked, "Can you tell me about the other soul? Who is he? Is he like me, someone in need?"

"The other soul..." Ling Xiaolong smiled and said, "If we look at the life he lived, he is just an ordinary young man living an ordinary life in an ordinary world. However, his soul is not ordinary."

Ordinary world?

Not an ordinary soul?

Emrys was surprised to learn that the other soul belonged to an ordinary man from an ordinary world.

As a person living in a technologically advanced world, he was aware that there are many worlds out there in space. The universe is huge and it is not strange for an ordinary world to exist.

What surprised him was that the soul he was going to fuse with belonged to an ordinary man, however, the soul itself is not ordinary.

What does that mean?

Ling Xiaolong could see through his thoughts at once glance. He explained, saying, "The other soul is born from a ray from the Sun of Mysteries."

Sun of Mysteries?

Emrys was confused!

Ling Xiaolong explained, "The Sun of Mysteries is an ancient and revered celestial body believed to be the source of all mystical energy beyond the Vast Expanse of Eternity. Unlike a normal sun, this sun doesn’t just provide light and warmth; it radiates mystical energies that influence the very fabric of reality itself."

A celestial body that radiates mystical energies that is capable of influencing the very fabric of reality?

For the current Emrys, he could not understand at all what exactly these words mean, but it still gave him a very profound sensation, as if something extraordinary had opened its door in front of him. It is just that he is unqualified to enter this door.

"What is the Vast Expanse of Eternity?" Emrys asked!

"You don’t have the qualification to know even this name, let alone about it." Ling Xiaolong shook his head and did not explain. He said, "Just remember the name. There will come a day when you will enter the Vast Expanse of Eternity. When that time comes, you’ll naturally understand what it means."

Emrys felt a mix of frustration and curiosity. The cryptic nature of Ling Xiaolong’s words left him feeling uneasy, but also intrigued. What was the Vast Expanse of Eternity? Why was it so important that he should remember it?

Ling Xiaolong’s refusal to explain further only added to the mystery. Emrys knew that this conversation was crucial, that it held the key to his future. Yet, the lack of clarity made him anxious.

However, becoming anxious was not an answer. He could tell that the golden figure in front of him truly did not wish to explain anything related to the Vast Expanse of Eternity.

In the end, despite his anxiousness, Emrys nodded. He silently noted down the name, ’Vast Expanse of Eternity’, in his memory. He had no choice but to trust in Ling Xiaolong’s words, hoping that when the time came, he would indeed understand everything.

Ling Xiaolong could see the unease in his heart. So, he spoke, "You do not have to worry. I believe, with the other soul’s rate of improvement in his cultivation, coupled with the future I have decided for him, it won’t be long before he enters the Vast Expanse of Eternity. You might have to wait just a hundred years!"

"A hundred years?" Emrys exclaimed in shock. For a person who was only seventeen years old, a hundred years was simply too long.

His exclaimation was met with Ling Xiaolong’s cold demeanor, "You are still young so you don’t have any idea. A hundred years is actually a very small period, so small that it is almost negligible. I remember, when I started cultivating, even with all the cheats at my disposal, it still took me more than a million years to step foot in the Vast Expanse of Eternity."

"If we talk about other people who start their journey from a small world of a Source Universe, then they might not be able to enter that place even after cultivating for billions or trillions of years. A hundred years in comparison is simply nothing."

Emrys could not be more shocked. The concept of time that Ling Xiaolong was talking about was beyond his comprehension.

A million years?

Billions or trillions of years?

It was unfathomable.

Emrys felt a mix of awe and despair, realizing how small and insignificant his current understanding was.

Emrys stood there, feeling a wave of shock wash over him. Ling Xiaolong’s words had completely shattered his understanding of time and cultivation. A hundred years had always seemed like an eternity to him. To hear this period described as a small, almost negligible period was mind-boggling.

He couldn’t wrap his head around the idea that some people take millions, even billions or trillions of years to reach a place called the Vast Expanse of Eternity.

Just what kind of place is this Vast Expanse of Eternity?

He finally understands why Ling Xiaolong told him that he is not even qualified to learn the name of the Vast Expanse of Eternity.

Now that he thought about it, he indeed doesn’t.

Who can live for that long period of time?

The majority of people might be killed before they could even live for a hundred years.

What kind of concept is a million years and more?

Can someone truly live for that long?

Is this even possible?

If someone can, doesn’t it mean that person must be immortal?

He shakes his head and tries to no longer think about such a long period of time. Instead, he focuses on the hundred years he will have to wait.

Emrys’s mind raced. He tried to imagine what a hundred years would mean for him. He was only seventeen now, and the thought of waiting for an entire century felt overwhelming. He had dreams and aspirations. He wanted to awaken his Soul Mark and eventually become the strongest Soul Master in the entire Infinite Soul Star.

His understanding of his own world was very low. All his dreams and aspirations were tied to a much shorter timeline than a hundred years. The realization that his journey could span such a long period was both humbling and terrifying.
