Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 257: Ch 257: A Drop of Soul’s Purest Essence

The pain was terrible and continuous.

But then, all of a sudden, that terrible pain disappeared all of a sudden.

At the same time, Emrys felt like he had just lost something very precious, something that made him whole, but now, he was incomplete.

"What was that? What happened just now?"

Although he suffered terrible pain and felt something forcefully squeezed out of him, he doesn’t exactly know what happened and what was taken away from his body.

But then, a drop of golden liquid materialized right in front of his eyes.

The instant Emrys saw this drop of golden liquid, he knew it belonged to him. He knew this was what forcefully took away from him. He knew this was his essence, his core, his soul’s purest essence and form.

But now, it was out of his body.

Suddenly, Emrys instinctively felt if he were to lose this drop of golden liquid which was his soul’s most purest essence, he would lose everything including but not limited to his cultivation path, his cultivation, his soul, and maybe even his body.

This was a terrifying sensation that made Emrys shudder.

Without a second thought, he immediately pounced on the golden drop of essence, wanting to take it back.

However, as if he were a complete joke, he paused right when he was about to touch the drop of golden essence.

Yes, he froze in midair just when he was inches away from his "everything".

Oh, sorry!

There was no air to begin with.

It was just a dark void that was stretching out endlessly.

Emrys forgot that this void existed within his soul. Although it existed independently, it was still within him, and so was the purest form of his soul’s essence. It has not gone out of his soul, it still existed within his soul.

However, the situation was still not normal.

No wonder Emrys forgot this fact for a moment and acted to snatch back what belonged to him.

Emrys tried hard and struggled to break free from the constraint of the invisible force that bound him, restricting his actions.

Unfortunately, all his struggle was for naught. He couldn’t even move, let alone take back what was his.

He anxiously watched as the most purest form of his soul’s essence dripped slowly on the Timeless Enlightenment Seed.

Ptaak~

The instant the golden drop touched the Timeless Enlightenment Seed, something happened.

Emrys was sent flying as a terrifying shockwave occurred, creating ripples in the silent void, and causing chaos to erupt everywhere.

Ethereal green light mixed with brilliant golden exploded, illuminating the dark void. Simultaneously, the entire void reflected an endless surge of energy, moving towards one single point from every direction.

And that point was none other than the Timeless Enlightenment Seed.

Emrys, who was sent flying, paused again all of a sudden. He felt as if someone supported him with his hand.

"It’s you," Turning around, he was shocked to see a figure standing beside him.

This figure was golden and his face couldn’t be seen. Just standing beside him made Emrys feel the urge to bow before him. However, he still managed to control this urge and refused to bow.

Nonetheless, that familiar feeling of depending on this figure and accepting all his requests and words as if they are told for his own good once again emerged within Emrys’s heart.

Wait a minute!

It was at this moment Emrys recalled that this place existed independently somewhere within his soul.

How could this person come here?

"How can you be here? It should be impossible!"

Emrys questioned with a deep frown, but the touch of golden aura emanating from the golden figure relaxed his frown. He also let off his guard completely.

It was as if he instinctively believed that this person would never harm him.

"And why is that impossible?"

Ling Xiaolong smiled at Emrys and asked... Or at least Emrys felt that Ling Xiaolong was smiling at him.

Yes, this person was Ling Xiaolong. He appeared before Emrys again.

"That’s because this place exists inside me!"

"I know," Ling Xiaolong nodded.

Then he turned to look at the Timeless Enlightenment Seed and sighed, "It’s been too long, far too long, and I finally got to see this seed sprouting!"

"What do you mean?"

This was the first time Emrys saw Ling Xiaolong sighing.

Be it the Soulforge Prism Orb, the Legacy of Divine Weapon Craftsman, or this Timeless Enlightenment Seed, everything was given to him by Ling Xiaolong.

He couldn’t understand why this person was sighing then.

"You won’t understand."

Ling Xiaolong shook his head, saying, "This is the Timeless Enlightenment Seed, a Primordial Treasure that can transform into a Primordial Entity upon sprouting. This seed is a treasure that’s nearly impossible to find, even in the entire Vast Expanse of Eternity. However, to me, it’s more than just a treasure."

"I obtained this seed back when I was still in Chaos. At that time, I wasn’t even strong enough to stand against a Chaos Spirit Saint Realm warrior. To put it simply, back when I got this seed, my cultivation level was... ummm... slightly stronger than your Cosmic Cultivation."

"This seed has been a tremendous help in my journey. It continuously released comprehensive energy that not only transformed my ordinary Origin Sea into a Comprehensive Origin Sea but also helped me understand extremely complex concepts in the shortest time possible."

Suddenly, Ling Xiaolong stopped speaking.

Emrys looked at him, only to see Ling Xiaolong looking back at him.

Emrys felt uncomfortable and comfortable at the same time. It was quite a strange sensation.

Ling Xiaolong started speaking again, "Do you know, even when it was still a seed, it was already an Ethereal Guardian. Who can say what rank it might reach after sprouting, growing, and eventually maturing?"

A glimmer of expectation shone in Ling Xiaolong’s eyes. There was hope, desire, and an intense longing to witness its true potential in his eyes.
