The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 961: Chapter 961: The Ever-changing Magical Treasure, the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella

Carson Flores looked up at Killian Jaramillo.

Killian Jaramillo smiled warmly at Carson Flores, his eyes clear and his gaze sincere.

After a long silence, Carson Flores exhaled, his brow relaxing.

”You’re right, he will show his true colors sooner or later, and as long as I diligently pursue my cultivation, the day will come when I will slay him!”

Killian Jaramillo smiled and said, ”Others may not have the ability, but you are the chosen one of the Emperor Seal. As long as you are strong enough and your heart is upright, someday you will be the new generation’s Human Emperor. Then, with your command, all the cultivators in the world will have to heed your orders. Are you still afraid you won’t be able to extinguish a few heretical sects?”

Carson Flores gave a bitter smile and said, ”It’s too early to talk about that. Right now, I completely don’t understand it. Facing such a vicious and insane person, it didn’t make a move, just watched me fight to the death, completely indifferent...”

Killian Jaramillo thought for a moment and then said, ”The will of the Emperor Seal, which represents the entire Human Race, recognizes that the Path of Refinement with its ritual of humans killing humans, cannibalistic in nature, has always existed. It is but the survival of the fittest within our own race, and a single city’s people might not hold much importance to it.”

Upon reflection, Carson Flores suddenly felt that Killian Jaramillo made a lot of sense.

After all, what are a few hundred thousand people compared to a great crisis that could cover every living being of the Human Race in suffering?

Throughout history, mankind has waged war against each other—how many hundreds of millions have died?

I thought this matter was significant because I only saw what was directly before me, the unfathomable tragedy of a city filled with bones. But to the Emperor Seal, which spans the river of history, this is nothing significant.

Facing Ezekiel Roth, although I was beaten badly, it wasn’t a certain death situation, and it seems there’s no problem with it not caring about me, right?

The Emperor Seal is not my nanny, after all.

”You have a point. No matter how powerful the Emperor Seal is, in the end, it’s just a magical treasure. Whatever needs to be done, the Human Race still has to do it themselves.”

Carson Flores laughed, having completely come to an understanding.

A person must rely on themselves!

”Heading back?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”Back to Sword Qi City.”

Killian Jaramillo nodded, his voice apologetic, ”I’m really sorry that I wasn’t able to help.”

Carson Flores smiled and said, ”This was my decision, don’t worry about it. Besides, I’m used to dangers like this. To put it arrogantly, whatever doesn’t kill me will surely make me stronger.”

Sword Qi City.

Molly Greer was shocked after hearing Carson Flores’s story.

Carson Flores was incredibly strong!

He single-handedly destroyed the Three Devil Sect!

Truly worthy of being a direct disciple of the Cave Master. His combat power was not just beyond that of the disciples of Thousand Swords Sect, but even he, as the Sect Master, could not compare!

Molly Greer saluted formally, her attitude respectful, ”Thank you, Mr. Flores, for avenging the souls of forty thousand from Empty Spirit City!”

Carson Flores waved his hand dismissively, ”Don’t mention it, it’s what I should do. Now that this matter is settled, I’ll head back to Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak.”

Carson Flores didn’t stay in Sword Qi City. He directly took Tobias Singleton back to Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak with him.

Whilst resting to heal his wounds in the cliffside cottage, Carson Flores began to sort through all the spoils of war.

Carson Flores found little use for the cultivation techniques, books, and Jade Slips, etc., he looted from the Three Devil Sect’s sect treasury since they were suitable for disciples below the Nascent Soul Stage.

Disciples at the Nascent Soul Stage, although not exceedingly powerful in any sect, were indeed considered key disciples and usually received the sect’s attention, including face-to-face instruction from the Elder of Transmission, hence needing nothing from the treasures stored in the sect’s treasury.

Apart from these, there were also a vast amount of alchemy materials, a large quantity of readymade elixirs, numerous magical treasures, artifact refining materials, and so on, all of considerable value, given they were from a sect’s treasury.

The truly valuable items were all stored in the Space Rings belonging to Ezekiel Roth, his son, and a few other Deity Transformation Experts; after all, cultivators have the habit of carrying valuable items with them.

Carson Flores went through the items one by one, studying them closely, and finally laid out all that were useful and valuable in front of him.

One Alchemy Furnace belonging to Jonathan Roth—this was one of the rare Nine-Turn Alchemy Furnaces in the Cultivation Realm, considered top-tier among alchemy furnaces. It’s unique construction and manufacturing process assured that the alchemical materials would be heated more evenly, easier to control, massively improving the success rate of creating elixirs.

Half a volume of the Great Land Elixir Manual, including various alchemy techniques along with the elixir formulas and methods for refining five types of elixirs.

One white token with the character ”Ghost” on it. After careful examination, Carson Flores identified it as a bone-carved token which should be the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect disciple token mentioned by Jonathan Roth.

A Defense Treasure, the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella.

This umbrella is quite renowned in the Magical Treasure Realm because of its versatility; capable of changing into many forms, the most common uses being umbrella, spear, and cannon forms.

In its umbrella form, the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella serves as a defense mechanism, its canopy made of Flood Dragon Skin adorned with defensive formations, and its ribs constructed from the bone spurs of millennium-aged demon lizards, unyieldingly solid, capable of withstanding extremely potent attacks.

When in spear form, the spearhead is crafted from the Single Horn of the Spirit-Breaking Rhinoceros, known for its exceptional capability to breach spirit shields, exceedingly hard, impermeable to swords and blades, and especially effective against spirit shields.

In its cannon form, as long as the user channels Spiritual Energy through the handle at the rear, the energy gets highly compressed and is then released as a Spirit Energy Cannonball; extremely fast in velocity, long in range, and shocking in power, even featuring explosive effects.

The construction of the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella is immensely difficult, and the entire Barbarian Wilderness Realm probably doesn’t have more than a few; Carson Flores never expected Ezekiel Roth to actually possess one...
