Chapter 211: Ch 211: Alex Frazier
╠ Infinite Soul Star ╣
_Celestial Horizon_
A person could be seen inquiring about the whereabouts of someone named Owen Mars.
This person was very powerful, far more powerful than Emrys. If someone who has closely seen Emrys were to look at this person, they would see a hint of similarity between his and Emrys’s face.
This person was none other than Emrys’s father, Alex Frazier.
After finding out where the person named Owen Mars was, Alex went over to that place. Using his powerful soul force, Alex quickly determined Owen’s location.
After he investigated a little bit, Alex was astonished and puzzled. He couldn’t help but mutter, "Could it be that the Guardian Owen does not have a disciple? He was able to become the Guardian of Azure Mist Palace when he was just fifty years of age. He is now more than five hundred years old. How could he still not have a disciple?"
After arriving at the Green Mist Forest, Alex’s footsteps had not stabilized yet, and Guardian Owen who was still practicing with his sword suddenly turned his body. As if he sensed something, his sword fiercely thrust towards Alex while carrying the force of a lightning bolt.
Alex’s eyes immediately widened. He did not expect Guardian Owen to not say a word and immediately thrust the sword over. In a moment of desperation, a huge pagoda appeared in Alex’s hand.
This pagoda was Alex’s secret and also a very valuable treasure. It was called Sky Suppressing Pagoda.
"Whoosh!"
However, just as the Sky Suppressing Pagoda appeared in Alex’s hand, Guardian Owen Mars’s sword stopped. The sword trembled, for it was just an inch away from Alex. One more inch and Alex’s head would have pierced.
Well, he might have blocked this attack with the help of Sky Suppressing Pagoda as well.
"Who are you?" Guardian Owen stared at Alex and asked emotionlessly.
Seeing that the Guardian Owen had stopped attacking, Alex immediately took the chance when Owen was not paying attention and kept the Sky Suppressing Pagoda in his storage device.
"Guardian Owen’s sword technique is simply superb, and your control over it has reached an astonishing level. At such a close distance, you can actually control the sword. Truly amazing!" Keeping the Sky Suppressing Pagoda, Alex recovered his calm demeanor, and a smile appeared on his handsome-looking face as he spoke to Guardian Owen Mars.
Hearing this, Owen frowned, and asked: "Who are you, and why are you trespassing Azure Mist Palace?"
"If Guardian Owen chooses correctly, you may benefit from me instead!" Alex said as his eyes flashed with amusement.
When Owen heard this, his brows furrowed even more. He could not understand what Alex meant by these words. Instead of answering who he is and why he trespassed, he said that he can benefit if he chooses correctly. What does he mean exactly?
Alex gave him the feeling of strangeness and mystery, causing him to be unhappy.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that you don’t believe my words?" Alex grinned and asked.
"Since you are here, it means you must be looking for me. Because in the Green Mist Forest of the Azure Mist Palace, no one comes. And my residence is located here. Be straightforward, why are you here? Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude." Guardian Owen’s pupils constricted as he said in a cold voice while guessing a little bit about Alex’s purpose.
"Wait a minute, I know you."
"It’s you?!"
Suddenly, as if he realized something, Owen’s eyes revealed a look of astonishment as he exclaimed in shock.
"You know me?" Seeing Owen so surprised, Alex frowned and asked.
Owen kept his sword, laughed loudly, and said: "I knew you were not a student of my Azure Mist Palace. So, it’s you, Alex Frazier!"
Hearing this, Alex was slightly stunned, but soon after, he bitterly laughed and said: "Looks like I’ve already become famous throughout the Celestial Horizon. What a headache!"
Hearing this, Owen could not help but laugh, and then asked: "Speak, why are you here? As long as you are not here to cause trouble, I can promise you anything."
Alex laughed and said: "I’ve said it before, as long as you choose correctly, you’ll benefit from me."
"Oh, what do you want me to choose from?"
If it was any other person who said it like that, Owen would naturally not be happy. However, after seeing all sorts of extraordinary things that Alex had done in the Celestial Horizon, Owen actually somewhat believed his words.
"You know what I am doing, right? If you choose to work with me, I can allow you to soar to greater heights in the future. You may be able to enter the Spiritarium to cultivate as well." Looking at Owen, Alex said with a smile.
"What?" Hearing this, Owen’s face changed, as he asked in disbelief. "Do you truly want me to believe those words? Entering Spiritarium to cultivate? Do you even have a way to transcend the universe?"
But then, as if he thought of something, he looked directly into Alex’s resplendent eyes and asked in a low voice: "Is what you said true?"
"I will not lie to you," Alex said with certainty. He continued, "You are an Eternal Sky Soul Master. You must know about the Ascension Gate. What if I tell you I have a way to activate the Ascension Gate?"
"Is that true?" Guardian Owen’s heart trembled. His eyes became fierce as he looked at Emrys.
"It is definitely true!" Alex nodded. At the same time, he explained, "You should know that I am currently going against the majority of forces in the Celestial Horizon. These forces include the Frazier Family that I am from and my wife’s family. I have even killed ’that’ person’s soul fragment before. Behind me stands three Eternal Sky Soul Masters, and every one of them was recruited by me personally. Certainly, I would not lie to all these Eternal Sky Soul Masters, including you, just to end up dead in the end, right?"
Guardian Owen once again took a deep breath. He wanted to agree immediately but then he started hesitating again.
How can someone from this world, who never stepped outside the Celestial Horizon, actually know the method to activate the Ascension Gate?
And if that is not true, then why did the three Eternal Sky Soul Masters agree to work with Alex?
Maybe, what Alex said is really true. He may truly know the method to activate the Ascension Gate.
If I agree to work with him, doesn’t it mean I can transcend this universe and ascend to the Spiritarium directly using the Ascension Gate?
The more Guardian Owen thought this, the more he felt this feasible.
In the end, he nodded and said, "Ok, I agree, I agree to work with you."
"A good choice!" Alex smiled at Guardian Owen and started to discuss his next steps.

╠ Eternal Paradise ╣
"What is this place?"
Emrys frowned as he looked around, finding himself standing on an endless expanse of water-covered land. The entire area was submerged under a shallow layer of water about a foot deep, perfectly reflecting his image like a mirror.
To his surprise, Emrys didn’t need to use any strength or energy to remain on the water’s surface; he simply stood there effortlessly.
As he walked, his footsteps created ripples, one after another, distorting his reflection with each step.
He tried to recall how he appeared in this space.
Earlier, he was brought to a huge tower by the six powerful people. The instant they submitted their mission, Alex felt his eyes blurring and he disappeared, appearing in this strange space.
What puzzled Emrys the most wasn’t the strange surroundings or the mirror-like water. It was why Eternal Paradise had issued a mission to bring him back. What could his connection be with Eternal Paradise?
While he was still thinking, a blinding light flashed, forcing Emrys to close his eyes. When he reopened them, he found a golden figure standing in front of him.
"Ling Xiaolong," Emrys exclaimed while taking a deep breath. He can never forget this "unknown" person. He had met several powerful people by now, but the deepest impression was left behind by this person.
Indeed, the golden figure whose facial features can’t be seen was Ling Xiaolong.
Just like the first time, Emrys instinctively felt attracted to Ling Xiaolong, believing in his existence. This belief is different from trust, love, or obsession. It is kind of an unspoken certainty, a deep-rooted conviction that transcends logic and reason. It’s as if something within Emrys recognizes Ling Xiaolong as an integral part of his own journey. It is as if his journey, his destiny was intertwined with Ling Xiaolong’s in ways beyond comprehension.
Comprehending this kind of feeling was very hard, and describing it in words is even harder.
"It’s been a long time, Emrys Frazier!"
An ethereal voice suddenly rang in this vast space, bringing Emrys back to his senses.
