Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 258: Ch 258: Timeless Enlightenment Sprout

This was the first time Emrys learned something about the Timeless Enlightenment Seed.

When he obtained this seed, all he knew was its name. Only now did he learn that this seed is actually a Primordial Treasure that can evolve into a Primordial Entity.

What is a Primordial Treasure and a Primordial Entity?

To be honest, Emrys doesn’t know.

However, he does remember his conversation with Radcliffe, a mechanical lifeform who is also the guardian of the Arkhaven. At the same time, his little talk with Ling Xiaolong back in the Eternal Paradise was also clearly remembered by him.

He knows that the Primordial Race was the first race ever to appear in the Vast Expanse of Eternity, however, they seemed to have offended entities living high up above, beyond the Vast Expanse of Eternity, in a completely different reality.

Of course, Emrys doesn’t truly understand the concept of reality right now, but he believes he will gradually know everything.

When the Primordial Race became very powerful, the strongest among them detected the existence of another reality, a wider starry sky than that of the Vast Expanse of Eternity. They called that reality "Beyond".

They wanted to enter the Beyond but instead angered those living high up above, which resulted in the destruction of the Primordial Race.

However, the "seeds" of weaker primordials were still preserved.

Emrys clearly remembered this talk with Radcliffe and Ling Xiaolong.

Due to this, he guessed that the Timeless Enlightenment Seed must be one of the "seeds" of the Primordial Race.

Entities of Primordial Races all have distinct shapes and sizes. Unlike other races, their appearance differs from each other.

Because the Timeless Enlightenment Seed was still a seed, it was called a Primordial Treasure. However, once it sprouts and grows into a tree, it would become a Primordial Entity.

Or at least, this is how Emrys guessed the things are.

And he was not wrong!

According to Ling Xiaolong, the Timeless Enlightenment Seed always discharged the comprehensive energy that actually transformed his Origin Sea into the Comprehensive Origin Sea. With the help of this seed, he always learned everything very easily and in the shortest time possible.

However, he was still unable to make the seed sprout which remained his lifelong regret.

Now, seeing the seed about to sprout made him somewhat emotional.

Ling Xiaolong told him that the Timeless Enlightenment Seed was already an Ethereal Guardian even though it had yet to sprout.

Truly, what kind of treasure or entity it would become after sprouting, and after growing into a tree?

Taking a deep breath, Emrys shook his head and then focused on the Timeless Enlightenment Seed.

As for Ling Xiaolong, since he was already here, Emrys can talk to him later.

First, he wanted to observe the evolution of this mysterious seed.

.....

The Timeless Enlightenment Seed began to glow brighter than anything Emrys had ever seen.

The golden and green lights mixed and started spinning around the seed all of a sudden, making it shine with incredible power.

Emrys felt a powerful force pulling at his very soul, as if every part of him was being drawn toward the seed.

As the lights swirled, the void around them started to change. Waves of energy flowed from all directions, pouring into the seed as if it were a magnet. The dark void became alive with these currents of light, energy, and life, all rushing into the seed.

Then, a gentle hum filled the void. It felt calming, yet powerful.

Emrys could sense that something extraordinary was happening, something that was ancient and beyond his understanding.

The Timeless Enlightenment Seed was transforming, growing, and changing with every passing second as it absorbed the purest form of his soul’s essence.

And then, a faint ghostly image suddenly appeared above the seed.

This image looked like a vast tree, with roots stretching deep and branches reaching wide. They seemed to be piercing into the very fabric of space, stretching out endlessly, reaching to the unknown.

"Marvelous!"

Emrys took a deep breath and stared at the phantom of this giant tree in awe.

At the same time, an indescribable sensation was born in his heart and soul. He felt that he was familiar with this tree. It was as if this tree was connected to him in a way he couldn’t explain.

And then, something else happened that Emrys could not explain.

The void started to pulse with a bizarre rhythm.

The shocking thing was that Emrys felt himself growing weaker with each pulse. At the same time, something new seemed to be forming in the seed. It was as if his essence was giving life to this mysterious tree, creating something beyond himself, and the rhythmic pulse of the void was supporting the mysterious tree’s growth.

Endless energy surged in this dark void. This surging grew faster and faster. The tree’s phantom above the Timeless Enlightenment Seed was also growing clearer and clearer.

As the energy swirled faster and the tree’s phantom grew clearer, Emrys felt a strange sense of peace that emerged right from the bottom of his soul.

The agonizing pain he felt when the purest form of his soul’s essence was squeezed out of him was gone. In its place was a feeling of connection to everything around him. Everything means the light, the darkness, the void, and even the phantom of that mysterious giant tree floating above the Timeless Enlightenment Seed.

Emrys entered a mysterious state. He seemed to have entered a state of enlightenment. In this state, all kinds of cultivation techniques and skills started circulating within his body automatically.

At the same time, both his Soul Cultivation and Cosmic Cultivation started to increase.

After an unknown period of time, the light illuminating the void started fading.

Very soon, the void returned to silence.

But... The seed had changed. The phantom of the tree had already disappeared.

Instead of a seed, it had grown into a sprout with one leaf. However, this one leaf alone seemed to hold the entire universe.

No!

It was not just a universe.

This one leaf alone seems to hold a Cosmic Field, or maybe what seems to be a much vaster void, in it.

As for its roots, just like the mysterious tree’s phantom, the Timeless Enlightenment Sprout’s roots seemed to be piercing into the very fabric of this dark void.
