Chapter 815

Chapter 815 You Are Too Weak Emrys lost control of his emotions, roaring out his questions. The thunder and lightning around him echoed his fury, as if nature itself was aiding Emrys in venting his pent–up frustration.

However, faced with Emrys” questions, Stein fell silent for a long while, not responding.

Emrys had no choice but to ask over and over again.

He was determined to get answers, to make this man repent for what he had done all those years ago.

Boom!

The lightning continued to flash relentlessly while thunder boomed.

This phenomenon existed within the realm of Emrys‘ consciousness. As his mental state violently fluctuated, it was only natural that their surroundings would be somewhat affected.

The roaring was unceasing.

Stein still did not respond.

Emrys continued to ask the same question over and over again. Even though it was just his consciousness, he felt as if he were crying, as if his throat was on the verge of becoming hoarse from all the shouting.

It continued for a solid hour.

The volume of Emrys‘ shouts began to diminish, not because he was growing weary, but because he was gradually regaining his composure.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons for Stein’s silence.

He knew that upon hearing his name, Emrys would lose control of his emotions. So, he allowed the latter to vent freely, letting out all the pent–up anger and grievances from before.

“Tell me the answer,” Emrys demanded.

His voice had returned to its usual calm, and his face no longer held the grimace it had just moments before, This time, Stein finally broke his silence, speaking slowly, “I can only tell you two things. First, I did not kill your mother. Second, I loved your mother deeply”

After that, he fell silent once more.

Emrys was completely taken aback.

He wasn’t the one who killed Mom?

Hazel had clearly told Emrys before that when his mother, Aurelia, had passed away, only Stein was by her side. If he didn’t kill her, then who did?

Pascal had warned Emrys that Stein would occasionally lose his sanity, behaving much like a demonic cultivator. This fact was further confirmed by Emrys‘ own experiences.

So, it was entirely possible that, in a state of madness, he had killed the one he loved most/

And most importantly, if he wasn’t the one who killed Aurelia, why hadn’t he explained himself? Why had he disappeared without a trace?

There were far too many inconsistencies here, so it was impossible for Emrys to readily believe this man’s words.

“I knew you wouldn’t believe me.” Stein saw through Emrys‘ thoughts and took the initiative to respond. “This matter is quite complex, but it’s not the right time to reveal the truth to you. There’s no need for you to question those from the Heavenly Pilferer Sect, either. They won’t give you any answers.”

As Emrys had expected, Stein and the Heavenly Pilferer Sect were in it together!

Everything that had transpired was all a scheme orchestrated by Stein and the Heavenly Pilferer Sect.

Everything was part of their calculations.

How could Emrys possibly find peace? His face etched with pain, he said, “Is it really that hard to give me an answer? Do you find it amusing to lead me in circles like this?”

“Everything we did was all for your own good…”

Stein suddenly paused, then continued, “I’m not telling you the answer because you are currently too weak. You’re weaker than an ant, even weaker than a blade of grass.”

These words were incredibly harsh and cruel to Emrys, but Stein had no choice but to say them.

This was Emrys‘ first time being subjected to such an unmerciful onslaught.

Ever since he had begun practicing the Nameless Divine Art, his innate talent had erupted, propelling him forward with unstoppable momentum. Later, he entered the frontier battlefield, where he honed his temperament for five years. During these five years, he had deliberately suppressed his cultivation level, refraining from using the power of a cultivator. Yet, this did not hinder his progress in cultivation.

Returning from the battlefield, Emrys encountered several opponents at the Golden Elixir Stage. One by one, he overcame them, and by now, he had reached the absolute–phase of the Golden Elixir Stage.

He was now at the maximum stage, for Emrys could sense that there seemed to be a formidable barrier that was simply impossible to break through if he wanted to progress further in his cultivation.

Presumably, this was the reason Athos had said the highest level of cultivation in this world was the absolute–phase of the Golden Elixir Stage. Those older cultivators who had reached this stage were undoubtedly blocked by this barrier, preventing them from breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
