The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 577: Chapter 577: I’ll Wait for You on the Path Ahead_1

Carson Flores suddenly remembered that Isabella Roth had said that the great monk, Wuchen, once went to Heavenly Mountain Cave Heaven and later caused some trouble before leaving Heavenly Mountain Cave Heaven and vanishing without a trace...

Caused some trouble?

Life Essence Pearl?

Carson Flores froze. Could it be that Wuchen had stolen the Life Essence Pearl from Heavenly Mountain Cave Heaven and fled, then hid in some other Blessed Land of Cave Heavens, and due to some reason left the Life Essence Pearl there?

Carson Flores asked, ”What is the Life Essence Pearl used for?”

”It is said to have many functions, one of which is to transform Spiritual Energy into vitality, with the ability to heal illnesses. Look at this green plant; it was on its last legs just a moment ago, and now it’s bursting with life, lush and thriving. It’s quite magical...”

Shirley Miller handed the Life Essence Pearl back to Carson Flores, ”Keep it safe, especially in front of cultivators, you absolutely must not reveal its existence, otherwise, disaster may ensue. When you’re alone, you can study it more; being the Cave Heaven’s Treasure of Heavenly Mountain Cave Heaven, one of the top ten Cave Heavens, its uses definitely aren’t limited to just healing illnesses.”

Carson Flores nodded solemnly, fully aware of the proverbial saying that possessing a treasure could be a crime in itself.

The Cave Heaven’s Treasure of Heavenly Mountain Cave Heaven—if revealed, he might at the lightest have it taken back by Heavenly Mountain Cave Heaven, or at worst, be killed for the treasure, leaving no trace behind.

At the same time, Carson Flores felt an uncontrollable surge of excitement; such a treasure was sure to greatly aid his path of cultivation!

He would have to find a way to figure out its uses later; after all, possessing a treasure without knowing how to use it was also a major loss.

Carson Flores then shared his own experiences in Mount Kahdas, and Shirley Miller laughed after hearing his story, ”You’re really lucky. Do you think if that person belongs to Mount Kahdas Cave Heaven, they might recognize your father, or even recognize you from your appearance, and that’s why they invited you to eat fish? After all, you two look very similar...”

Carson Flores was taken aback. He had indeed wondered if the man belonged to Mount Kahdas Cave Heaven, but not the reason he was invited to eat fish.

Previously, he thought it was a mere coincidence, a hermit’s joy being shared is joy doubled?

But after Shirley Miller’s suggestion, Carson Flores vaguely remembered the man’s gaze seeming very peculiar upon seeing him.

At the time, he assumed it was surprise at encountering someone on the snowy mountain, but now he wondered if it was possible the man recognized him as Westin Flores’s son and hence invited him to eat fish, to lend him a helping hand?

”We can only get to the bottom of this when we meet again in the future.”

Carson Flores finished telling his story with a smile and then asked, ”What about you? What have you experienced?”

Shirley Miller, holding a piece of roasted meat and eating elegantly, recounted her experiences over the past six months.

Shirley Miller’s experiences weren’t complicated: she was taken to Rajevols, partook in tests which proved her talent, and along with a matching bloodline, allowed her to inherit the strength of Fairy Lingfeng through a secret method. The rest of her days were mostly spent in cultivation, with only a small amount of time dedicated to reading to increase her knowledge.

Carson Flores curiously asked, ”How big is Rajevols?”

Shirley Miller answered, ”Rajevols is not very big; in terms of area, it’s similar to a city. But I’ve only heard this, as I barely ever went out.”

Carson Flores had never visited a Blessed Land of Cave Heavens, and Shirley Miller was the first person he could confidently ask about it, so naturally, he wanted to learn more.

”What about the forces there, or say, the sects?”

Shirley Miller chuckled, ”There are four sects in Rajevols; I’m with Xuanfeng Sect. The four sects compete with each other, vying to recruit talented disciples to enhance the Sect’s strength. Actually, it’s quite similar to how sects operate in the worldly realm, except in the Cultivation Realm there are only sects, no families anymore, because families can never compare to the power of sects.”

”Even if a disciple becomes powerful by joining a sect, they cannot privately teach their family; they must recommend talented family members to join the sect to gain the teachings. So, there are powerful families that rely on sects, but pure cultivation families do not exist.”

Carson Flores asked, ”Are you valued within your sect?”

Shirley Miller smiled and said, ”Fairy Lingfeng is my ancestor by lineage, but she has passed on her secret method to me, so she counts as my mentor. She’s a senior elder in the sect, and I am her True Disciple, which is considered a third-generation disciple, so my status is relatively high.”

Carson Flores felt relieved to hear this.

He was worried about Samantha Tate being bullied in Heavenly Mountain Cave, just as he was concerned about Shirley Miller being bullied in Rajevols.

It’s normal, even expected, for a man to have such concerns.

”Alright, you both have a backing now; it’s just me without one. Seems like I need to work hard.”

Shirley Miller pursed her lips and laughed, ”You’re so capable, it won’t take long for you to embark on the path of cultivation, and you’re sure to catch up.”

Carson Flores chuckled, ”You guys keep it up, be as powerful as you can be, so later on, I can rely on you and seek protection!”

Shirley Miller laughed, ”When I return, I will ask someone to check on little Xi’s whereabouts, but I guess I won’t be able to leave for a while, so it’s up to you now.”

Carson Flores confidently stated, ”No problem, I’ll be there soon!”
