Chapter 213 Awakening: Revelation!

*Boom!*

Arthur broke through to the third level of the Nine Heavens Soul Technique!

*Swoosh!*

Immediately he did, in the transcendent moments following his breakthrough to the third level of the Nine Heavens Soul Technique, Arthur found himself within an endless celestial expanse.

A network of white stars holding myriad images playing at the speed of light within them.

"These are my memories?" Arthur muttered.

Amidst the countless white stars, one golden star stood out, drawing him irresistibly.

"What memory is that?" Arthur wondered as he felt a sense of familiarity with this particular star.

He felt a pull from the golden star and he didn't resist and finally, he found himself within.

As he entered the golden star, Arthur emerged in a resplendent space.

Before him, materialized a figure.

Lush white hair, cold red eyes, black and golden amour and the aura of a sovereign around him.

Who else but...

"Arthur Nightingale," Arthur muttered.

The cold-looking figure finally smiled, "So we finally meet. My current self. By the way, your temperament is so weak."

"Huh? That's the first thing you say?" Arthur also smiled as if he was expecting that.

"Well, you know me, or rather you know you... Hmm, this is weird?"

"No shit, Sherlock. Of course, it's weird. How else would talking to yourself feel?" Arthur said.

"Technically I am the past you, so... Anyway who is Sherlock? I never recall going by a name like that."

"Wait, you don't have my memories from Earth?"

"Earth?" The old Arthur looked confused.

"Wait, was that the place I spent my time before I returned to the immortal world?"

"Yes, you don't know about it?" Arthur was curious.

"When the Grand Heavens ganged up against me and used all means to end me I had glimpsed the future using the Fate and Time Gems," Arthur Nightingale continued.

"After I almost died and was sent to that place you call Earth, the Grand Dao rewrote the fabric of all worlds. However, I dropped a soul clone into this Mortal Ascension World, practising the Sovereign Dao. I left a trace of it here, awaiting the day when I, will be reborn."

These words left a shock in Arthur's heart. He had no idea that there were so many things involved.

"So that means one of the soul clones was the Mortal Emperor of this world?"

"Yes."

"Then everything was going according to plan?" Arthur was surprised at such meticulousness.

A profound weight settled on Arthur's shoulders as he comprehended the intricacies of his past incarnation's foresight.

"You call this realm the Mortal Ascension World, why?"

"Because this is the only realm in the multiverse that will give you a chance to reign supreme with the sovereign Dao."

"What, how?"

"Sigh...even I only learnt of this when I got a hold of the gems. The Mortal Ascension World is a world that should not exist and it is the only world that has the ability to expand and...evolve."

The astral landscape pulsed with the resonance of heaven's secrets.

The incarnation continued to speak and a lot of hidden information was revealed and so far, no one, not even the Grand Dao knows that this is the Mortal Ascension World.

"What?? How can even the Heavens not know?"

"This is something that even I am perplexed about. But it is for this reason I can to the conclusion that there might be someone whose power has already surpassed the grand Dao or..."

"They were never at the same level in the first place," Arthur completed.

"Correct. That was the conclusion I arrived at and it was what I eventually believed in. Moreover, this made me sure that there indeed exists a realm of power above the Grand Heavenly Dao."

"Hmm, now that you say this, I remember that when I was sent away from Earth I vaguely heard a voice saying something like, 'It is time to return'."

"You did? If that's the case then my conjecture is indeed true. It must be that figure that saved me."

"But is that figure the same as the one who created this realm?"

"I'm not sure."

"Sigh. This is getting all complicated," Arthur sighed.

"Even if it was. I was determined to break through the chains of being under the Grand Heavenly Dao. But the question is does the current me... still have that same conviction?"

Arthur went silent.
