Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 281: Ch 281: Events Of The Past (2)

Immediately after sealing the Ascension Gates, that unfathomable expert forcefully fused four neighboring worlds with the four corners of the fragmented land. He did this to transform and integrate the fragmented land with this universe and its laws, ensuring it became a part of this universe. At the same time, with a wave of his hand, he extracted all the remaining rules and influence of Spiritarium from the fragmented land.

But that was not the end.

The unfathomable expert appeared to already have a plan in his mind. He exploded with dark energy that created a foggy barrier in five different directions of the fragmented land, which later was called Edges of Celestial Horizon.

Yes, the land fragment that broke off from Spiritarium and fused with four worlds of this universe was the Celestial Horizon.

After that expert shaped the edges, he concealed all the remnants of the battlefields of that time within them. Simultaneously, he crafted a powerful runic formation to obscure the Celestial Horizon from the view of those four worlds. Only by cultivating to the pinnacle of the four worlds could a Soul Master perceive the gate leading to the Celestial Horizon, and enter through it.

If that was all, then things would not have to be so complicated.

That expert didn’t stop there. He performed a mysterious act and proclaimed to the universe that anyone who could cross the Edge of the Celestial Horizon would not only gain access to the ancient battlefield of that time, and possibly acquire the vast treasures left behind from the war between the Soul Masters of the Universe and Spiritarium, they would also have the chance to seize an incomprehensive opportunity that could make them invincible not only in this universe but also in Spiritarium. The only condition was to successfully cross the Edge of Celestial Horizon.

However, crossing the Edge is no simple task. It has been millions of years yet not a single person succeeded.

After the war, five families rose to prominence and established a powerful organization together. They named this organization the Federation.

Under the banner of the Federation, they not only dominated the Celestial Horizon in just the next several centuries but also seized vast territories near the Edges of the Celestial Horizon. Publicly, they declared their occupation of the Edges as a measure to protect and guard this land. However, their true intention was to fully restrict outsiders from crossing the Edge and claiming the untold benefits hidden beyond.

They didn’t want anyone, who was not their family member, to cross the Edge of the Celestial Horizon. They wanted to keep all the illusory benefits to themselves.

Coming back to that unfathomable expert, he also destroyed nearly all of the Ascension Gates, leaving only four remaining, though still sealed. Then he prophesied that, in the future, two extraordinary people would be born. They would wield the fate and destiny of this universe. Only these individuals would be able to break the seals on the Ascension Gates and activate them once more.

hen that time comes, the path to ascension will open and Soul Masters can start entering the Spiritarium for further cultivation again.

However, there would be one exception. Should this exception appear, the fate and destiny of the universe would be overturned, and plunge into chaos, potentially leading to its complete destruction or profound transformation. This exception would be a harbinger of either unparalleled calamity or an era of unimaginable evolution.

Actually, when Emrys heard his mother talking about "exception", he could not help but recall what he told Andrea before jumping into the shimmering pool. He told Andrea: ’You may be the Wielder of Destiny, and someone else may be the Wielder of Fate, but I am an exception. And where there is an exception, no law or rule applies. There is no such thing as an unbreakable law when an exception exists. Exceptions are meant to defy all laws.’

When he said these words out loud, he didn’t actually mean anything deeper, he just said them. Who would have expected the sudden turn of the table?

It seems that even though he didn’t mean to, his words touched something deeper.

As for what it is, who knows?

Emrys also wondered who that unfathomable expert was, however, his mother didn’t know.

As for the five families who established their base at the five Edges of Celestial Horizon, there was no doubt the Rosefield Family and the Frazier Family are two of them. They are waiting for a powerful Soul Master from their families to emerge who can get past the foggy barrier called the ’Edge’.

The Rosefield Family was located in the Ice Lord Valley, which is said to be located at the Edge of Celestial Horizon. However, the true ’Edge’ is still farther away.

However, it was not the time yet for Emrys to get involved in the ’Edges’. He was more interested in knowing about his father’s matter.

After all, Slivya told him that his father was preparing to cross the Edge of Celestial Horizon for the sake of his family, friends, and all humanity.

This matter is deeper than what it may sound, and Emrys understood it very well.

After telling him the story of how everything started, Slivya finally came to the topic that touched his father’s matter. She spoke, "Do you remember when I left home, I told you that your father sent me a letter and wants me to come to the Ice Lord Valley? Do you remember I told you about the Curse of Echoing Silence?"

Emrys clearly remembers everything. He nodded his head. At the same time, he raised his brows, as if thinking of something, but could not think of anything. As for the curse, he had long since broken it.

Slivya spoke, "Originally, you should have been able to awaken either Ice-attributed Soul Mark or Lightning-attributed Soul Mark. However, due to the Curse of Echoing silence, your soul was cursed and suppressed to the point where awakening a Soul Mark became impossible. Nevertheless, you mysteriously awakened Space-attributed Soul Mark, which was simply incomprehensible to me and your father. Moreover, when we checked, the curse was still there. It was not yet broken."

"We don’t know how you were able to awaken a Space-attributed Soul Mark, which should have been impossible, however, the fact is, you awakened. This was enough for us. However, with the Curse of Echoing Silence still there, your achievements in the future were limited. That’s why, Alex left home and came to the Celestial Horizon. He again wanted to look for a way to break the unbreakable curse."
