Curse of Echoing Silence!
Finally, Emrys heard about the curse. He also understood why Elysia was so surprised.
First of all, being cursed by the Echoing Silence ant completely cutting off the path of cultivation. He could never have awakened the Soul Mark, let alone improved rapidly and beco a Silver Soul Master within a few weeks.
Secondly, even if by so miracle he did manage to awaken the Soul Mark, it should have been either Ice or Lightning-attributed, reflecting the bloodlines of the Rosefield Family and the Frazier Family flowing within him.
However, what he had awakened was neither of these but an entirely different Spatial-attributed Soul Mark.
This indirectly ant either the curse had sohow been broken or rendered ineffective, or there was an unknown factor or sothing even more mysterious was at play. The fact that he had developed a Spatial-attributed Soul Mark, sothing unheard of in his family lineage, suggested that there might be forces or secrets involved that went beyond his current understanding.
Emrys felt a mixture of confusion and curiosity.
Even he felt such curiosity, he can imagine how his parents must have felt.
However, when Emrys thought more deeply into this matter, he blad everything on his transmigration and the Multicolored Orb hiding within the depth of his soul. These two are likely to be the factors that caused the awakening of a spatial-attributed Soul Mark instead of Ice or Lightning-attributed Soul Marks.
A puzzled expression appeared on Slivya's face. She took a deep breath and continued, "Since you couldn't awaken your Soul Mark, your father and I decided to spend the rest of our lives living as ordinary people with you. We were sure that no matter how many tis you tried, you would fail to awaken it. However, we did not expect to witness sothing so unexpected."
"We were truly puzzled. We don't even know how you managed to awaken your Soul Mark despite being cursed, let alone how you ended up with a Space-attributed Soul Mark instead of Ice or Lightning. We couldn't help but suspect that this might be the work of those old monsters from the Rosefield and Frazier Families, plotting sothing against us. However, your father has confird that this is definitely not their doing."
"Whatever the reason might be, at least you were able to awaken your Soul Mark, and now you are no longer ordinary. We will continue to investigate and find out why this happened, but for now, your father and I are very happy for you, son. However, because you have awakened your Soul Mark, it ans we no longer need to live as we have been. There are many things your father and I must do, so we cannot stay here, nor can we bring you with us."
"As a Soul Master, if you want to beco truly powerful, you must walk your path alone. If we continue to support you, even if you manage to beco a supre expert standing atop the Infinite Soul Star, you'll still be weak deep down in your heart and soul. In battle, you would be the first to fall. So, walk your path steadily and grow step by step. Our blood runs through your veins. Your father and I believe that you'll be able to face any situation, no matter how dangerous or deadly, and co out safe and sound. However, if you ever need our help, just find a way to co to the Ice Lord Valley and find us. It doesn't matter how you get there, whether by traversing mountains and rivers while facing all sorts of dangers, by braving the most perilous storms, or even by hiding behind a powerful person and currying favor with them. No matter how you choose to co, just make sure to find us, and we will help."
"Rember, son, your parents are very powerful. Now that you can cultivate, make us proud. One day, we want to take you to the Rosefield and Frazier Families and look directly into those old monsters' eyes and say, 'Look, this is the person you abandoned in childhood. This is the man you thought was a stain on your families' reputations, the newborn you cursed. See now how he has surpassed all your expectations and proven your judgnts wrong. See how wrong you were.'"
As his mother spoke, Emrys could see her true feelings in her eyes. He realized she had been hiding a deep, persistent pain in her heart for years—a pain not physical but emotional and ntal. Behind her always-smiling face was a pained expression he had failed to notice before. She was deeply hurt by her own family.
How could a mother endure seeing her child cursed right in front of her?
She had been enduring all this for his sake, wanting to live an ordinary life with him. As an ordinary person, he would have grown old and died first. She must have planned to risk her life to take revenge after his death.
Just thinking about how his mother had endured all this pain for so many years made Emrys feel profoundly emotional.
And it was not just his mother. The sa was true for his father as well. Both his parents had sacrificed a lot for him. Now that they knew he could cultivate, they wanted one thing from him: to make them proud by forcing the heads of the Rosefield and Frazier Families to bow before him in sha.
A light of determination flickered in his eyes. Raising his head with confidence, Emrys looked directly into Slivya's eyes and said deeply, "Mom, don't worry. I swear to make you and Dad proud. Today, I promise you that I will only co to look for you when I have beco an expert unmatched in the entire Infinite Soul Star. I will co to you only when I stand at the pinnacle of strength. At that ti, I will accompany you to those two families and let you see their shaful heads bowing before in regret and humiliation."
Slivya was startled when Emrys suddenly spoke in such a serious tone. But then, a smile appeared on her face as she constantly nodded and laughed, "As expected of my son!"
"We will be waiting for you. Co and find us after becoming the strongest!"
"I will!" Emrys swore again.
