Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 262: Ch 262: Emrys’s Mysterious State

After an unknown period, Emrys opened his eyes slowly.

For a moment, a strange silvery light flashed in his silver pupils. They seemed to sparkle with this soft glow like moonlight in a calm night sky. The light was not bright, but it was deep, as though holding countless mysteries within it. It made his eyes seem both powerful and distant, as if he was seeing far beyond what was in front of him.

Anyone looking into those eyes might feel like they were being drawn into a quiet and endless space.

In this state, Emrys appeared almost as if he were both awake and asleep. His body sat still, but his expression was unusual. He was too calm yet deeply focused. It was as if he was seeing something beyond the ordinary. His gaze was both sharp and soft at the same time, as if he was in a place between dreams and reality.

Though he seemed present, he also seemed far, far away, almost like he was looking into a world only he could see.

A smile appeared on Ling Xiaolong’s face who was standing not far away from Emrys, observing everything.

"The time of awakening is not far away!"

Raising his head, Ling Xiaolong looked at the dark void and muttered. "It won’t be long when the door to "Beyond" will be forced open!"

Smiling, Ling Xiaolong focused on Emrys once again who was in a dazed yet aware state. It was quite strange.

This dazed yet aware state gave Emrys an air of mystery. He seemed to drift somewhere between being fully conscious and not aware at all. He was there, yet not really there. His breathing was steady, and his face remained relaxed, but his silvery eyes continued to glow, giving him an otherworldly look, like he was walking between two worlds—one of sleep and one of wakefulness.

Whoever could see him, they would feel that describing Emrys’s state in words would be impossible. It has its own charisma.

Emrys continued to stay in this state for an unknown period of time.

This is the void, and time holds no meaning here.

It is also due to this that calculating how much time has passed is impossible.

However, if someone can still count, they would stunned to know that Emrys has stayed in this state for more than a hundred years already.

The change inside him was huge.

After an unknown period, the silvery light in Emrys’s eyes slowly faded. His mysterious expression softened, and his gaze lost that faraway look.

Emrys took another deep breath, then quietly closed his eyes again. This time, he seemed to fall into a deeper sleep, as if his body and mind were truly at rest now.

As he rested, a soft golden aura began to rise from his body. The golden light was gentle, almost like the warm light of the setting sun. It shimmered around him, forming a faint glow that spread out and filled the air nearby. The aura had a calm soothing feel to it, as though it was protecting Emrys in his sleep. It flowed around him like a soft golden mist, adding a peaceful energy to his dark surroundings.

This golden light seemed alive. It was actually pulsing slowly and in harmony with Emrys’s breathing. With each breath, the light seemed to grow a little brighter and then fade softly. It wrapped around Emrys like a blanket, creating a comforting atmosphere. The air around him felt calm and safe, as if nothing could disturb his deep rest.

As time passed, the golden aura continued to rise from Emrys’s body. It seemed to radiate from deep within him, as if this light was a part of his very soul, revealing something special about him. The soft glow made him appear almost like a figure from a dream, wrapped in light and peace.

In this quiet state, Emrys seemed completely at rest. His breathing was calm, his face was peaceful, and the golden aura continued to flow around him.

Behind Emrys, a phantom was floating. It was the projection of a colossal tree, so enormous that it seemed to stretch endlessly into the dark void. Its trunk was wide and ancient, with a rough surface glowing faintly with golden light, much like the aura surrounding Emrys. The roots of the tree were immense and looked as though they were piercing deep into the very fabric of the void itself. They twisted and turned, spreading far and wide, as if anchoring the tree firmly in place, even in the endless expanse of "nothingness".

The roots were not ordinary; they pulsed with energy, glowing softly with golden and silver hues. It was as if they were drawing power from the void itself, feeding the enormous tree with boundless strength. Tiny streaks of light, like flowing rivers, moved through the roots and up into the massive trunk.

At the top of the tree, a brilliant golden crown was shining brightly in the darkness. It was giving off a warm majestic glow that seemed to protect everything around it.

This projection of the tree felt deeply connected to Emrys. As the golden aura around his body pulsed, so too did the tree’s glow. It was as if the tree and Emrys were one, sharing the same life and energy.

Even though the tree was just a projection, it seemed more real than the void around it.

However, no matter how real it seems, in the end, it is nothing more than a mere projection.

The real thing was within Emrys’s soul.

In the depths of his soul, a small sprout with just three leaves could be seen rooted.

This was the original Timeless Enlightenment Tree. Its thin golden roots were actually wrapping around Emrys’s soul. If Emrys can see his own soul from outside, he would find his soul inside giant golden cocoon.

Most importantly, huge streams of comprehensive energy was pouring into his soul every moment, changing his very soul.

Emrys had a hybrid soul due to fusing with his body’s predecessor’s soul and the foreign soul that tried to take over his body back in the fragmented Cosmic World.

By now, Emrys had perfectly fused and became one with the predecessor’s soul. As for the foreign soul, he has yet to digest all the soul force that came with it.
