Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 40: Ch 40: A Small Breakthrough

Emrys felt something, but before he could understand, he found himself standing inside a spacious hall. The entire hall was filled with all kinds of materials and pieces of equipment.

In the middle of the house, an old man was working on a lion\'s statue. It was not a complete statue, but only a lion\'s head.

"This is... Lion Falls!"

Emrys was astonished. It did not take long for him to understand his current status. He guessed that he must be witnessing something that happened in the past, and the reason he was able to see this was due to the Multicolored Orb.

"Yes, I did it!"

The old man suddenly erupted in excitement, his voice echoing with a touch of madness. He laughed uncontrollably before muttering, "In the end, it took me ten years to figure out how this works. I\'ve concealed a fragment of Soulstar Crystal within the Lion Falls. It\'s better to have an outsider benefit from the Soulstar Crystal than to allow those bastards to snatch it from me. I hope that someone capable of sensing Soulstar Energy appears. That way, the fragment of Soulstar Crystal won\'t be wasted at least."

This was some kind of memory that Emrys had just witnessed. As the memory ended, Emrys found himself back on top of the twelfth pillar. To be honest, he was completely shaken. He never expected to witness something so unexpected.

While Emrys was still in a daze, he felt warmth rising inside his body. Moments later, a faint and fierce light wrapped itself on his body. At the same time, a powerful momentum exploded from his body, attracting everyone\'s attention.

"Look at Number 17. I think he is about to break through."

"Yes, you are right. Could it be that the twelfth pillar is different from other pillars? Is the strange rhythm still there, helping Number 17 break through?"

"Perhaps you didn\'t notice, but why is his breakthrough different from others?"

"Now that you mention it, it is indeed different."

Everyone\'s attention was attracted by the momentum that Emrys exploded with. They looked above, only to see a faint light wrapping around Emrys\'s body, as if forming a barrier so that no one interrupts his breakthrough.

Among the people looking at Emrys, Number 13, Laura, was also present. She did not recognize Emrys because of the mask, however, that mask was also what made her feel displeased.

It seems there is some history between Number 13 and Number 17. Perhaps that\'s why Number 10 became Number 17\'s enemy.

Currently, Number 10 and Number 13 can be seen standing together, holding each other\'s hands intimately. Both of them were cultivating on the seventh and eighth pillars previously, so they did not see how Emrys climbed the twelfth pillar.

Both of them were gritting their teeth, looking at Emrys with hatred in their eyes.

Emrys, on the other hand, was feeling the pleasure of being cleansed by a powerful energy. Not only his Soul River and body were affected, but his cultivation was affected too. His strength was steadily increasing. He was improving in an overall manner.

He felt a strange kind of warmth washing his body inside out. This warm sensation gave him a different sense of comfort, such that he had never experienced before.

Everything was too smooth for him. In next to no time, his cultivation increased. He advanced from Elementary Bronze Soul Master to Intermediate Bronze Soul Master and finally stopped after reaching the peak of Intermediate Bronze Soul Master. Just a little more and he would have been able to become an Advanced Bronze Soul Master.

Unfortunately, the improvement of his cultivation ended there.

Perhaps, if the Soulstar Energy was not cleansing his body and improving him in an overall manner, he would have been able to advance to the Advanced Bronze Soul Master today.

Yes, this sudden improvement came from Soulstar Energy which was previously absorbed by the Multicolored Orb. Seconds after Emrys witnessed the old Soul Sculptor laughing like a crazy old man and speaking about the Soulstar Crystal, the Multicolored Orb released a small part of absorbed Soulstar Energy. It was as if the Multicolored Orb felt bad for absorbing every bit of Soulstar Energy, so it returned a small part to compensate him.

Emrys took a deep breath and opened his eyes. The faint light barrier had already disappeared after Emrys completed his breakthrough.

He took a deep breath and stood up, only to see the crowd looking at him curiously. His gaze stayed on Number 13 for a bit longer than others. He also saw Rohan and Cairo standing together, looking at him with complicated eyes. It was unknown what they were thinking.

Soon, Emrys\'s attention was drawn to an approaching army of powerful individuals in the distance. Their hurried steps hinted at urgency. Emrys frowned, sensing that these people were all formidable Silver Soul Masters.

As if he thought of something, his expression suddenly changed. The next moment, he disappeared from the top of the twelfth pillar and reappeared behind Rohan and Cairo silently.

No one noticed his reappearance because he was too fast. The instant he appeared behind Rohan and Cairo, he grabbed their shoulders and disappeared once again.

"He... He disappeared?"

Emrys, Rohan, and Cairo\'s disappearance was noticed by everyone very soon. They were all surprised and confused as well.

"No one moves!"

A roar echoed in the air, shaking everyone to their core. More than ten Silver Soul Masters arrived at the scene. Surprisingly, leading them was just a weak Bronze Soul Master, a Ghost Reaper.

"Where is Number 17?"

When Yor arrived at the scene, he felt that something was very wrong. No one was cultivating. All Ghost Reapers were standing there in a daze. But that was not important at the moment, so he asked for Number 17.

"Sir... Sir Yor, he disappeared!"

Pa~

Someone stepped out and said, only to be sent flying by Yor\'s slap.

"What happened here? Tell me in detail. Tell me where Number 17 has gone." Yor asked, fuming in anger. With his strength, it was very easy for him to scan the crowd. He easily discovered that Number 18 and 19 were also absent, however, he did not ask for them because he believed the two of them must be together with Number 17.

Not willing to incur Yor Darkborne\'s wrath, someone quickly stepped forward to explain the situation in detail.
