Chapter 217: Ch 217: Low Difficulty & Rich Rewards
Emrys’s eyes widened in shock, for he never expected to see a mission related to Infinite Soul Star here.
It has been a few years for him since he left the Infinite Soul Star. In fact, it can be said that he cultivated in the Infinite Soul Star only for a few months before leaving. The majority of his cultivation, both Cosmic and Soul Cultivations, was done in the fragmented Cosmic Cultivation World which is also a truly hellish place to live.
He didn’t go there by himself, he was forcefully thrown into that world by Elysia, her true motive still unknown.
Emrys always waited for her to call him back to the Infinite Soul Star. Perhaps, she thought the time had not come yet, so she had yet to call him back.
Luck is truly a mysterious thing. He somehow ended up in "Chaos" from the Cosmic Cultivation World, and now in the Eternal Paradise where a mission lay in front of him, speaking about the Infinite Soul Star, three other worlds, and the Celestial Horizon that actually appeared after the collision of these four worlds.
’What does a collision mean?’
Emrys was confused, not because of the word "collision" itself, it is because of the "result" a collision is supposed to bring.
How can the four worlds collide with each other and still remain intact?
Not to mention destruction, they even formed a hidden new territory called the Celestial Horizon where a Soul Master can enter only after cultivating to the peak of their corresponding worlds!
In fact, even the two words "Celestial Horizon" attracted his attention. As far as he could remember, his mother left him to go to the Celestial Horizon where his father was waiting for her.
"What was that place called?"
Emrys tried to remember and soon recalled everything his mother told him before saying goodbye.
She told him that she came from the Rosefield Family, one of the five most powerful families that control the entire Infinite Soul Star from behind the scenes. The ancestors of these five families were also the ones who laid down the foundation of the Federation. The Federation is controlled by the joint operation of these five families.
According to his mother, Slivya Rosefield, the Rosefield Family is a single-lineage family. a The single-lineage here means that every member of the Rosefield Family can awaken different Soul Marks but with one fixed attribute. They can only awaken Ice-attributed Soul Marks.
The same was true for his father’s family, the Frazier Family. The Frazier Family is also one of these five most powerful families. Every member of the Frazier Family can also only awaken a Lightning-attributed Soul Mark.
There is a strict rule in these five most powerful families; every member has to marry within the family. They can’t marry an outsider because marrying an outsider can "pollute" the pure bloodline flowing within their bodies.
This is also the reason why he was not accepted by the two families and cursed not long after he was born which affected him for twenty years of his life.
Now, he was already twenty-two. He spent more than a year with Ling Xiaolong in that tranquil space. As for how much time he spent in the space where he obtained the authority over space is unknown.
Anyway, it was Ling Xiaolong who told him his true age before he left the tranquil space. He was 22.
Emrys recalled his mother’s last words before she left.
"As a Soul Master, if you want to become truly powerful, you must walk your path alone. If we continue to support you, even if you manage to become a supreme expert standing atop the Infinite Soul Star, you’ll still be weak deep down in your heart and soul. In battle, you would be the first to fall. So, walk your path steadily and grow step by step. Our blood runs through your veins. Your father and I believe that you’ll be able to face any situation, no matter how dangerous or deadly, and come out safe and sound."
"However, if you ever need our help, just find a way to come to the Ice Lord Valley and find us. It doesn’t matter how you get there, whether by traversing mountains and rivers while facing all sorts of dangers, by braving the most perilous storms, or even by hiding behind a powerful person and currying favor with them. No matter how you choose to come, just make sure to find us, and we will help."
"Remember, son, your parents are very powerful. Now that you can cultivate, make us proud. One day, we want to take you to the Rosefield and Frazier Families and look directly into those old monsters’ eyes and say, ’Look, this is the person you abandoned in childhood. This is the man you thought was a stain on your families’ reputations, the newborn you cursed. See now how he has surpassed all your expectations and proven your judgments wrong. See how wrong you were.’"
"We will be waiting for you. Come and find us after becoming the strongest!"
When she spoke these words, Emrys clearly felt her pain. He realized she had been hiding a deep, persistent pain in her heart for years. She was deeply hurt by her own family.
Deeply breathing, Emrys looked at the description of the mission that stated a war is being fought in the Celestial Horizon due to the closer of Ascending Gate.
It turned out that his universe has several Ascending Gates that can help a person ascend to the Spiritarium after cultivating to the limit of the universe.
What is the limit of a universe?
Actually, Ling Xiaolong told him several things about Soul Cultivation before. There are a total of fifteen cultivation stages of the Soul Cultivation System that can be cultivated in a universe. These fifteen cultivation stages are Ordinary Soul Master, Bronze Soul Master, Silver Soul Master, Secret Silver Soul Master, Gold Soul Master, Brilliant Gold Soul Master, Purple Crystal Soul Master, Freezing Moon Soul Master, Burning Sun Soul Master, Glowing Red Star Soul Master, Glowing Blue Star Soul Master, Glowing Gold Star Soul Master, Mystical Mist Soul Master, Celestial Spirit Soul Master, and finally the Eternal Sky Soul Master.
As for the Spiritarium, there are only four cultivation stages. They are Divine Light Soul Master, Luminous Void Soul Master, Ethereal Mist Soul Master, and Supreme Sovereign Soul Master.
These four cultivation stages are divided into nine levels.
Emrys was currently only a Mystical Mist Soul Master, but with his ability to devour souls, he believed he’d be able to enter Spiriatrium within a year after returning to the Infinite Soul Star. And he can then enter the Vast Expanse of Eternity within 10 to 50 years.
"Only 3,000 Eternal Points," Emrys sighed as he looked at the rewards. These eternal points are truly too little compared to the 25,000 and 21,000 Eternal Points rewarded by the first and second missions.
"Actually, it is not a small amount at all," Fiora spoke when she saw Emrys sighing.
Emrys looked at her in surprise. She didn’t mind his expression and explained, "You should know that the first Heaven Battle Stage requires an expert to have at least a Level 5 strength, even so, winning the battle only awards 100 to 1000 Eternal Points, depending on their performance. Earning Eternal Points is extremely difficult to begin with."
"As for this mission, it is truly suitable for you to accept, as if it is tailor-made for you. After all, it sends you to a universe instead of a Cosmic Field. Moreover, do not forget, other than Eternal Points, the reward for completing this mission can also directly raise your strength by a major level. The rewards for this mission are truly rich."
The other four people agreed with Fiora’s words.
Indeed, the rewards for this mission were exceptional even to them. After all, it was a low-difficulty and rich rewards-type mission.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t accept this mission.
"Let’s not mind the Eternal Points, isn’t the second reward enough to attract the attention of countless powerful experts? They can accept this mission and complete it very easily compared to me who has to struggle a lot to complete this mission!" Emrys presented his question with some worry in his heart.
"Indeed, you are correct," Idris nodded before shaking his head. "Unfortunately, no expert can accept this mission because it requires entering a universe. We are far too powerful; our presence alone would overwhelm the universe, causing it to collapse under the pressure."
"You should understand that experts from Spiriatrium only manipulate powerful beings of that universe from behind the scenes. They don’t dare to enter the universe directly. If they could, they would act personally to achieve their goals. They refrain because they simply cannot. Entering the universe would have catastrophic effects. If a universe is destroyed while they are inside, they would either perish or suffer severe injuries before being cast into the dark void."
Emrys raised his head in realization. Only now does he understand why these five told him that this mission appears to be tailor-made for him.
