Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 96: Ch 96: Ye Yun’s First Step

The instant Emrys thought of star patterns, his mind went to the moment when he killed a creature and that creature transformed into fragments of energy before entering his body, bringing along a very comfortable sensation.

He could also feel his strength increasing weirdly. Obviously, the increase in strength was brought about by the fragments of energy that entered his body.

That must be it!

That must be how I ended up taking the first five steps unknowingly.

Ye Yun clearly told him before that there are several ways to start walking the path of Cosmic Cultivation. Killing creatures in this space and absorbing them must be one of those several ways.

When Emrys woke up this time, the strength he felt inside his body was overwhelming. He had never felt this powerful before. It wasn’t just in terms of soul and soul force; even his physical strength was enough to rank him among the top experts in the entire Great Flame Kingdom.

Emrys was certain that this newfound strength came from the strange foggy energy inside the bead. He now knew the bead’s name: the Cosmic Essence Core. The name weirdly appeared inside his mind just like dozens of dark-type skills.

However, he still had no idea how to utilize the Cosmic Essence Core. He was also sure that there must be a direct relation between the Cosmic Essence Core and the star patterns.

His mind raced with possibilities. The power he felt coursing through him was incredible, but without understanding how to control or channel it, it was like having a treasure he couldn’t fully access. The star patterns, which had intrigued him from the moment he noticed them, seemed to be the key.

Of course, he could still move the energy to flow in a particular pattern with just his thoughts, but he was sure that it was not the right way to control this energy. By just his thoughts alone, he could not utilize the potential of this energy to its fullest.

Emrys closed his eyes and focused inward, trying to sense any connection between the Cosmic Essence Core and the star patterns. He concentrated, hoping to unlock the mysteries within his own body and the new strength he possessed.

The realization that he had taken significant steps in Cosmic Cultivation without knowing it was both exciting and daunting. He needed guidance to harness this power effectively but he also knew he could not ask Ye Yun for this. Perhaps Ye Yun and the others could help him, but asking them was not the right decision.

He might as well ask Elysia for guidance. Since she had thrown him into this space in the name of training him, it was clear that she was aware of the Cosmic Cultivation System and perhaps wanted him to walk this path. In other words, she might be more than capable of guiding him. He just had to ask her. That’s all.

One thing was clear: Emrys was no longer the same person who had entered this space. He has become hundreds of times stronger than before. He believed that his current strength was enough to stay in the Great Flame Kingdom without fearing many forces.

However, the entire Great Flame Kingdom was now his enemy, and dealing with them was simply impossible even with his current strength.

Yes, he might have advanced to the level of a Gold Soul Master, but he didn’t possess Soul Skills at that level. If anything, he could only rely on the Cosmic Cultivation System to face Soul Masters.

As a Soul Master himself, he was fully aware of the dangers other Soul Masters posed to him. He knew he was no match for them as long as he didn’t practice Soul Skills. Without Soul Skills, no matter how powerful he became, he would be immediately killed by other Soul Masters. Even the Cosmic Cultivation System might not be able to save his life.

While Emrys was still processing this information, neither Ye Yun nor Mu Bailing spoke. They understood that if Emrys was truly unaware of these basic facts about this space, he needed time to digest the information.

"I think I am about to enter the first step. Please wait for me a moment!" Ye Yun suddenly exclaimed, surprising both Mu Bailing and Emrys. Emrys also noticed that none of these people had a single star pattern in their eyes.

Curious to see how Ye Yun would take this step, Emrys watched intently. After all, he entered the first step unknowingly, just by killing a creature. Ye Yun, on the other hand, was about to enter this step differently.

Mu Bailing’s beautiful eyes flashed as well. She did not expect Ye Yun to be the first one among them to enter the first step. Jing Jun also felt something was stuck within her chest. It was hard for her to breathe. She felt envy and jealousy, but could not say anything.

Right on the spot, Ye Yun sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. Once he entered the meditative stage, waves of strange energy began to surge from his body. There seemed to be endless energy gathered in the void and attached itself to Ye Yun’s body.

Emrys could tell that this was the same weird energy that entered his body after he killed creatures in this space.

Mu Bailing’s beautiful eyes sparkled. It amazed her that under such a bloody environment, Ye Yun was able to cultivate in peace. If it were her, she couldn’t bear to do it. That was perhaps the difference between her and Ye Yun.

Meanwhile, Jing Jun was having a hard time looking at Ye Yun’s figure. No one knew what was going on inside her mind. She didn’t leave and just watched quietly from the side.

The strange energy around Ye Yun’s body surged. The energy wildly gathered in his body, tempered his bones, and nourished his blood.

About an hour later, Ye Yun’s body released a luminous glow. The strange power that was surging around his body had reached the extreme. That kind of power made Mu Bailing and Jing Jun, who were beside him, tremble.

Soon after, the aura on Ye Yun’s body gradually calmed down, and the light faded. He stood up, and his eyes looked intense. They were as bright as stars. The aura on his body was even more restrained, but it seemed to give people a profound feeling.

"You have entered the first step?"

Mu Bailing looked at Ye Yun, who had undergone a transformation and asked subconsciously.

"Yes."

Ye Yun nodded and showed them his eyes clearly. There was a bright star patterns deep inside his eyes.
