Chapter 244: Ch 244: Edge Of Celestial Horizon
"Although the Ice Lord Valley is located at the edge of Celestial Horizon, it is the territory of the Rosefield Family. I don’t think you should go to that place. It is very dangerous!"
Nikolai and Jortis tried to stop Emrys from going into the territories of the five supreme families because no outsider is allowed to step foot there without permission. Then, they suddenly remembered that Emrys was a Frazier.
But then again, the relationship between the Frazier Family and Rosfield Family is not good. They always fight on every small matter.
Perhaps, Emrys’s arrival in their territory will anger the Rosefield Family and they’ll take it as an opportunity to fight with the Frazier Family again.
"You don’t need to worry about it. Just tell me whether any of these formations could teleport me to the Ice Lord Valley?"
Emrys shook his head and looked straight into their eyes.
Nikolai and Jortis looked at each other and sighed. Obviously, they thought of another point.
Maybe, although Emrys is a Frazier, he is not from the supreme Frazier Family. After all, if he is, then how come he doesn’t even have basic information such as territories of five supreme families not having teleportation formations connected to any of the cities in the Celestial Horizon?
Still, Nikolai answered, "The Ice Lord Valley is the Rosefield Family’s territory. The Rosefield Family is one of the five supreme families in the Celestial Horizon, and no supreme family has ever built or allowed anyone to build teleportation formations within their territories. They have special methods to cover large distances in the shortest time possible and those methods are even more convenient than using teleportation formations. Unfortunately, those methods of traveling are strictly under the control of the five supreme families."
Emrys sighed inwardly after learning there was no teleportation formation to the Ice Lord Valley. In the end, he thought of something and asked, "Then, do you know how far the Ice Lord Valley is from this city? And in which direction is the valley located?"
The most important thing for Emrys right now was going to the Ice Lord Valley and looking for his mother.
His mother, Slivya Rosefield, used to be the daughter of the Rosefield Family. The Ice Lord Valley being Rosefield Family’s territory didn’t surprise him at all.
As for being afraid of them...
Is it a joke?
Why would Emrys be afraid of them?
"Ice Lord Valley is said to be located at the easternmost edge of Celestial Horizon," Jortis answered Emrys’s question this time. He continued, "I only roughly know about this because I haven’t been there personally. In fact, other than the members of five Supreme Families, I don’t think there are many people who would have gone to any of the five family’s territories!"
Emrys nodded, speculating something.
His mother once used the "edge of Celestial Horizon" to define the location of Ice Lord Valley. Jortis and Nikolai were the same. He couldn’t help becoming curious about this.
In the end, he is unable to control his curiosity and ends up asking, "What exactly is this edge of Celestial Horizon? Is it truly an edge... like a border or something?"
Both Nikolai and Jortis were stunned, not expecting Emrys to suddenly ask this question.
"To be honest, I don’t know about this matter."
"I don’t know either!"
Nikolai and Jortis shook their heads, not having an answer to give.
They were born and raised in the Celestial Horizon and have heard about the edge of the Celestial Horizon since childhood. They accepted it very naturally and never questioned this matter.
Now that Emrys raised this question, they were forced to think that it was indeed a quality question.
Why is the edge of Celestial Horizon called "edge"? Is it truly a border or the corner of the world?
Hell... The Celestial Horizon is not even a world. It is just a big mass of land.
Shaking his head, Emrys thought it would be better to ask someone more knowledgeable about this kind of question than these two people.
He suddenly had an idea and his eyes lit up. Then he said goodbye to Nikolai and Jortis and went back to the artifact shop.
"You are back?"
The old man was surprised to see Emrys back in just a few hours, but then again, he thought of Emrys’s strength and no longer asked anything.
It is obvious Emrys is too young, but he was already an advanced Celestial Spirit Soul Master. It also means the realm of Eternal Sky Soul Master is not far from him. He could achieve that realm at any time.
That is why the old man treated Emrys as his equal.
Emrys approached the old man in the artifact shop and asked his question, "What exactly is the edge of Celestial Horizon? Is it some kind of border?"
The old man raised an eyebrow, frowned, and then his expression softened. He seemed to have thought of something and was intrigued. In the end, he stroked his white beard thoughtfully and said, "The edge of Celestial Horizon, you ask? Most don’t think about such things nowadays. They think it is just a name for a place, but that is not true. The Celestial Horizon is far more mysterious than that."
Emrys was immediately attracted to the old man’s explanation. His ears perked up as he listened attentively.
"As you already know, the Celestial Horizon is not a single world, but a huge mass of land that connects multiple worlds together. It is like a big shared territory. The "edge" of Celestial Horizon is not like a border or a wall. Instead, it is a place where the forces of different worlds meet and clash. This creates a powerful and dangerous area. The edge is where energies from different worlds collide, making it an extremely risky place to explore. It is filled with strong forces, and even an Eternal Sky Soul Master like myself won’t dare to go near those places."
As expected!
Emrys silently nodded inwardly. He had already expected that the edge of Celestial Horizon is not truly an "edge", this word must hold a different meaning.
Now that he understood what the "edge" truly meant, his curiosity increased instead of being fulfilled, because the old man used "multiple worlds" and "collision of energy from different worlds" in his explanation.
As far as he knows, the Celestial Horizon is a huge mass of land that appeared mysteriously after a terrifying war was fought in ancient times. This land connects to only four worlds, and these four worlds are located in four directions.
Then what does it mean when the old man used "collision of energy from different worlds" in his explanation?
He thought there was more to this matter than what meets the eye.
The old man’s explanation was not over. Emrys listened intently as the old man continued.
"Legends say that long ago, the edge was a battleground in the ancient war between this universe’s Soul Masters and a powerful foreign force. Powerful artifacts, treasures, and secrets lie hidden there. But no one has truly explored its full mysteries."
Emrys absorbed this information with growing curiosity. In the end, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he said in a low voice, "So, the edge isn’t just the end of the land, it is a border between worlds with unknown hidden mysteries?"
"Precisely," the old man said while nodding.
"You just said that even Eternal Sky Soul Masters would not dare to go to the edge of Celestial Horizon, right?"
Seeing the old man nodding his head, Emrys presented his question, saying, "Then what is the deal with the Ice Lord Valley that is said to be located at the edge of Celestial Horizon? Moreover, it is a territory controlled by the Rosefield Family. How can a family control a territory located at a place where even Eternal Sky Soul Masters don’t dare to go?"
"This..." The old man was stunned and fell in deep thought.
Truth be told, even he, as an Eternal Sky Soul Master who is already at the top of the universe, doesn’t know why and how the Rosefield Family controls the Ice Lord Valley!
The old man didn’t hide his lack of knowledge. Shaking his head, he gave Emrys an answer, saying, "I don’t know! All I know is that the Rosefield Family is not the only one. Now that I think about it, even the other four Supreme Families each controls a vast territory that is located on the edge of Celestial Horizon."
Saying this, he started mumbling, "There must be a reason. I think I should ask Alex. He used to be a member of the Frazier Family and must know these secrets."
Unfortunately, his voice was truly too low, so low that Emrys failed to hear his words. Otherwise, finding his father would have become a lot easier.
Emrys was stunned slightly but was not that surprised. Since the Rosefield Family could control a territory located at the edge of Celestial Horizon, the other four Supreme Families could obviously do the same.
As for why and what secrets they are hiding, Emrys didn’t think too much about it.
Emrys thanked the old man for answering his question and then introduced his first name. After that, with a final nod, he left the artifact shop.
