Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 178: Ch 178: Back To The Celesto Tribe

It turned out Qin Huxiao was also looking for the Sunfire Heartseed and had known that this treasure was in the abyssal’s hand.

Unfortunately, the treasure was already stolen by Emrys. Even if he wanted to, the Abyssal had nothing to give Qin Huxiao. In anger, Qin Huxiao killed the abyssal.

It can be said that Emrys had robbed Qin Huxiao of one of his opportunities.

Currently, Qin Huxiao is cursing, wanting to find out who the thief is that dared to steal even from a High-tier Abyssal.

Shaking his head, Emrys smiled and disappeared, appearing a thousand meters away in the west. This is where he comes from. From the lake, he walked towards the east. If he wanted to return to the lake, he needed to go westward.

What Emrys doesn’t know is that the moment he disappeared, something within Qin Huxiao emerged.

Golden bolts of lightning flickered on Qin Huxiao’s body and rose to the sky. It might seem that these bolts of lightning emerged from Qin Huxiao’s body, but in truth, they actually came out of his chest. The Lightning Seal was still there and had become more vibrant and intense, pulsating with raw, untamed lightning energy, as if it had absorbed and stored immense power.

A small version of Golden Lightning Dragon materialized and looked in the direction where Emrys was standing just a moment ago.

"Golden, what happened?"

Golden was the name Qin Huxiao gave to the Golden Lightning Dragon when it was submitted to him seconds after he successfully obtained the inheritance left behind by the Ancient Lightning Divine Hall.

Now that he had obtained the inheritance, his strength had significantly increased. Concerned that something might happen to the Sunfire Heartseed, he immediately used an inherited Cosmic Skill, the Nine Lightning Steps, to reach the location where Abyssal was in under ten minutes. Although he had only mastered the Nine Lightning Steps to the initial stage, he could still transform into a bolt of lightning and move at a speed of 1,000 km/h.

The distance from the Lightning Domain to the Blazing Pond was about 120 kilometers. Qin Huxiao, with his ability to move at a speed of 1,000 km/h, could cover approximately 167 kilometers in just ten minutes. So, it was no surprise that he managed to travel the distance of 120 kilometers in under ten minutes and with only an initial mastery of the Nine Lightning Steps. The more he practices this skill, the faster his speed will become. It’s an incredibly powerful technique.

Golden Lightning Dragon kept looking at the place where Emrys had been before shifting his gaze and speaking, "I sensed someone’s gaze from that direction. Someone seemed to be intensely looking at you."

"Someone was looking at me? Who?" Qin Huxiao was surprised.

"Most likely the person who stole the Sunfire Heartseed!" Golden Lightning Dragon answered before transforming back into bolts of golden lightning and going back inside the Lightning Seal.

Who can it be?

Qin Huxiao could not help but ask, "Golden, did you see that person? Is he still there?"

An answer directly sounded inside his mind, "No, that person disappeared without leaving behind a trace before I could see him. Leave it, there is no benefit in looking for him. He knows how to hide. His presence has completely disappeared, even I can’t sense him."

Qin Huxiao struggled but then let out a sigh. He could only let this matter go, at least for the time being.

.....

It just took Emrys only 24 hours to return to the Celesto Tribe. There, he first met Chief Bohu.

"Little brother Emrys, you have returned!"

It has been several days since Emrys was gone. Although he and other tribe members wished Emrys to be safe, they didn’t hold much hope in their hearts. The border is very dangerous. All kinds of powerful creatures exist within the border. If someone is lucky, they would only encounter a few Seventh or Eighth Step Creatures before successfully crossing the border. However, if someone is unlucky, they might end up dead not long after entering. It is said that even dangers comparable to Twelfth Step are present inside the border.

Why is the border so much more dangerous compared to Level 1 or even Level 2 areas?

The answer lies in the fact that many hidden and powerful inheritances exist within the border. These inheritances are remnants of ancient cultivators, powerful beings who once walked the land, leaving behind their legacies in the form of mystical artifacts, techniques, and boundless knowledge. These treasures are fiercely guarded by natural formations, traps, domains, and dangerous beasts that have grown incredibly powerful over time, making the border a perilous place to explore.

Not to mention, there also exist Abyssals and Soul Beasts. These two creatures could only be found inside the range of borders as well. Their threat is no less than that of inheritance sites.

Yes, Level 2 areas are less dangerous than the border, though Emrys is unaware of this fact.

As long as one doesn’t have enough strength and confidence, they would never dare to enter the border. The lowest requirement for someone to enter the border is having the strength of an Eighth Step Warrior.

Seeing that not only Emrys returned safely, but his strength also increased tremendously, reaching the Eleventh Step, shocked Chief Bohu.

It was very easy to determine someone’s strength. All they needed to do was look into the other person’s eyes and they would know how powerful that person is.

Nodding his head, Emrys smiled at Chief Bohu and replied, "I’ve returned. Thank you, Chief Bohu, for helping me. Here, you can have it!"

Emrys took out the Snow Spirit Herb and gifted it to Chief Bohu.

Chief Bohu wanted to decline, but Emrys insisted so he accepted the gift.

Exactly at this time, Anzo arrived with Xu Ling and Cheng Xiao. By now, everyone who followed Emrys to the Celesto Tribe has already left. They could not wait for Emrys to return. Time inside this world was very precious and they could not afford to waste their time.

Only Xu Ling and Cheng Xiao chose to stay behind, waiting for Emrys to return.
