Chapter 332: Ch 332: Golden Sprout
As the golden lights finished entering Emrys’s body, he noticed that his Soul Sea had started changing color too.
Before, his Soul Sea was blue, but now it had turned golden.
At the same time, the golden river in the sky began to slowly fade away. The cut in the sky also started to close little by little.
It didn’t take long for the sky to return to its previous state, and the land became quiet again.
It was also at this time Emrys slowly opened his eyes.
Although Emrys’s eyes were open, he did not seem to see anything around him. He stood still like a statue. He neither blinked nor moved. His body was calm, but his mind was not there.
It was like his soul had left his body and was flying somewhere far away.
His golden eyes looked ahead, but there was no light in them. They were empty like he was lost in a dream.
The wind blew gently, making his clothes and hair sway, but Emrys did not feel it.
He did not hear the sounds around him. He did not notice the cracked ground under his feet.
It was as if time had stopped for him.
Inside his body, however, great changes were happening.
His Soul Sea, which was now golden, was spinning slowly. It was shining like the sun, and soft golden waves moved across it. These waves were calm but it was full of power. They seemed to be carrying a feeling of something holy and ancient.
In that moment, Emrys whispered, "So this... is the true path of Soul Cultivation."
Even though he didn’t fully understand what had just happened, he knew that he had taken a huge step forward.
Still surrounded by the ever-dancing swords of light, Emrys finally regained light in his eyes. Now, his consciousness truly returned.
With a wave of his hand, the swords disappeared. His Golden Domain also started shrinking before disappearing as he withdrew his Aura of Brilliance.
After all this, he raised his palm towards the sky and closed it before slowly opening it.
Immediately, a golden light illuminated the sky once again. Then, a golden lotus bloomed in the sky. This lotus had a total of nine giant petals. Each petal had millions of tiny natural lines on them. Each of these lines seemed to hold an infinite charm and insurmountable power.
After that, the golden lotus slowly turned in the sky. It pulsed like a heartbeat, as if showing the world that it is alive. Its light covered everything on the battlefield, and immediately, the air shifted. It was no longer heavy and dry. Instead, it felt warm and full of life. Even the lifeless land around Emrys seemed to breathe again under the lotus’s light.
Emrys looked up at the golden lotus with calm eyes.
Suddenly, golden lights fell from the lotus, landing on Emrys’s body like raindrops. Wherever they touched, Emrys’s skin glowed gently. At the same time, his soul sea responded to this light as well.
At the center of his Soul Sea, a small golden seed slowly appeared.
Emrys held his breath.
As the golden seed appeared in the center of his Soul Sea, it floated gently above the golden waves. It looked small but was giving off a powerful feeling. Emrys even felt like this seed was the beginning of something great.
However, he also had a feeling that this seed was not a "seed", but something else.
He saw as the golden seed slowly turned in the air and started spinning. Soft ripples were produced with every complete spin, and these ripples spread across his Soul Sea. The golden light from the lotus in the sky kept falling, feeding the seed with warmth and energy.
Then, a soft thump sound echoed in Emrys’s mind. This sound was like a heartbeat. It was slow, strong, and steady.
And then, the seed started to glow brighter all of a sudden.
Thump.
Another sound echoed and then a golden sprout started to grow from the seed. It was tiny but very bright.
However, this sprout was not any tree’s sprout. It was made of soul energy. It looked very pure, holy, and full of life.
Emrys suddenly started to feel that something was strange. The series of strange things that happened to him just now is definitely not normal.
Unfortunately, no one was there to answer him why everything was happening.
Inside his Soul Sea, golden winds started to blow out of nowhere, circling the growing sprout.
The sprout was growing, and in a very short period of time, two tiny golden leaves grew on the sprout. But that was not all. It was still growing.
It was at this time Emrys noticed something strange inside his Soul Sea. He saw the golden sprout was no longer just floating above the golden waves, it had grown roots. These roots had pierced deeply into his Soul Sea, connecting to it completely.
Emrys could feel the sprout pulling something from his Soul Sea.
Closing his eyes to feel, he immediately sensed that the sprout was absorbing his Soul Force from the Soul Sea. Just like how a plant takes in water and sunlight to grow, the sprout was using his Soul Force as its source of energy.
The more it absorbed, the faster it grew.
The sprout’s small stem thickened very soon, and it didn’t take long for it to grow three branches. Each of the three branches then grew three golden leaves.
Now, the sprout had become a small golden tree with three branches and a total of nine leaves.
Golden light shone from every part of the tree. Just from its outer appearance, the sprout looked sacred and divine.
Now that the tree had grown three branches and nine leaves, it stopped growing.
As soon as the golden tree stopped growing, the golden lotus in the sky also changed. It was still pulsing like a heartbeat, but then...
BOOM!
The lotus suddenly shattered, breaking into countless pieces of golden light. These lights transformed into raindrops as they fell from the sky, spreading across the land around Emrys.
Everything looked very beautiful at this moment.
But before even a single drop could touch the ground, they vanished mysteriously. It was as if they were never there.
