The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 879: Chapter 879 This is still hope, isn’t it?

A great war ten thousand years ago?

Carson Flores’s hair stood on end in an instant, his gaze filled with shock. Could this mean that he had already lived for ten thousand years?

Who in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm could live that long?

Nobody!

Even if someone reached the peak of the Hollow Void Realm and their lifespan was pushed to the limit, they could barely manage to live around two thousand five hundred years, with very few individuals living up to three thousand years.

No one could live for ten thousand years!

Unless... they became Immortals!

All cultivators have been searching for the path to immortality, isn’t it in the hope of breaking through the shackles of life once more?

It is said that once you ascend and become an Immortal, you truly shed your mortal shell and from then on, you don’t need to consume any worldly sustenance. Your body becomes untainted and dust-free, and your lifespan increases dramatically.

Although becoming an Immortal doesn’t mean you live as long as the heavens and earth, life is measured in tens of thousands of years, not just a mere thousand or two.

No one has found the path to immortality, but now suddenly, a person from ten thousand years ago appears, still alive and well. Isn’t this suddenly telling everyone that eternal life isn’t a false hope, that becoming an Immortal isn’t just fantasy?

Seeing the expression on everyone’s faces, Carson Flores felt a silent sigh in his heart. It seemed that eternal life was indeed the most tempting thing for people.

Even when the Emperor Seal appeared, everyone was extremely excited, but that was just excitement, because it signified that the Human Emperor might reappear.

However, when everyone learned that Finlay Murphy had lived for ten thousand years, everyone’s eyes burned with intense passion, filled with desire.

This was the hope for eternal life!

These big shots of the Hollow Void Realm, almost standing at the pinnacle of this world, weren’t interested in many things, but eternal life was not among them.

Eternal life was their everlasting pursuit!

Carson Flores carefully said, ”I have an idea...”

All eyes turned to Carson Flores, their gazes burning with intensity, making him startle at the heat they radiated.

The amiable Supreme Elder from Chicheng Mountain smiled and said, ”Whatever you’re thinking, feel free to speak your mind. You have firsthand experience, and any detail you might have overlooked or missed could be extremely important to all the cultivators in the world. So don’t hold back anything you think of.”

The group of big shots around him nodded in agreement, all showing encouraging looks.

Truly a flattering surprise.

He had never been the center of such attention...

Carson Flores inwardly sneered, thinking that if it weren’t for his own background and having a master to back him up, these people might have directly used the Soul Searching Technique on him to query what he had experienced.

For eternal life, these people would probably stop at nothing.

Carson Flores spoke up: ”That... Senior Murphy, he obviously has amnesia. He himself is puzzled, thinking he should be dead, so why is he still alive? And he can’t remember who he is at all. The name ’Finlay Murphy’ was even suggested by the woman in white.”

”He remembers dying, yet he is alive again, and even his appearance has not changed. It’s possible that, as everyone speculated, he has ascended and become an Immortal and then encountered some misfortune, losing his memory. But I think it’s more likely that after his supposed death, due to some special reason, he remained in a state resembling death for a long time, and under certain special conditions, he revived,”

The old painter with the brush furrowed his brows and said, ”Are you suggesting that he did not become an Immortal?”

Carson Flores explained, ”I come from the Mortal Realm. There are no spells in the Mortal Realm, but technology is very advanced. They are researching methods to freeze dying people in extreme cold temperatures and then revive them after many years. While this research has not been completely successful, in this resourceful Cultivation Realm, I think it’s possible that someone could die and then come back to life.”

The crowd exchanged glances as the fervor in their eyes slowly cooled.

The Supreme Elder from Huolin Cave stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, ”Carson makes a lot of sense. Ten thousand years is a long time, even if he truly became an Immortal, there should be some changes. Yet, he remains the same, perhaps he did not achieve immortality, but rather was resurrected from death...”

”Rumor has it that the Valley of Death was created by the blood rain from the fierce battles of Immortals. There, even the undead beneath the ground can be resurrected, let alone a person.”

The mood among the crowd deflated.

Just when they felt there was hope for immortality, now you’re telling me he wasn’t an Immortal, but had come back to life from the dead?

Everyone hoped he had become an Immortal so that they could find the secret to immortality from him. But, rather discouragingly, the explanation of resurrection from the dead seemed more convincing.

The Supreme Elder from Chicheng Mountain sighed, ”It seems we can only solve this puzzle if we find Finlay Murphy and manage to restore his memory. Other than that, there is no other way.”

The old painter with the brush gave a wry smile, ”Finlay Murphy is from the Murphy Family, with the unique and incomparable Ground Shrinking Technique, his mind may be clouded, but his strength remains. Finding and controlling him will not be easy.”

The Supreme Elder from Huolin Cave sighed, ”Ascending to immortality is never easy. No matter what, it’s still a hope, isn’t it?”
