The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: The Ancient Great Witch

The Ling Yao was like white, soft jade, harboring exceedingly pure Spiritual Energy and radiating bright yet gentle white light; a tranquil aura also rippled through the surrounding air.

Carson Flores clenched the Ling Yao in his hand, and the pure Spiritual Energy flowed into his body like the rushing waters of a river, finally entering his Dantian.

By then, the Nascent Soul within Carson Flores’s Dantian had completely transformed, its body no longer as fragile as before, becoming incredibly solidified.

A Nascent Soul is extremely fragile, only able to reside within the Dantian of a Cultivator. If it separates from the body, it would quickly dissipate. However, once a Cultivator enters the Divinity Transformation stage, the Nascent Soul converts into the Primordial Spirit, which can exist independently without dissipating and even possesses considerable combat ability.

Ling Yao markedly aids in a Cultivator’s advancement, but Carson Flores had already entered the Divinity Transformation, and the amount of Spiritual Energy he needed to advance was at least tenfold that of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Carson Flores absorbed the Spiritual Energy of the Ling Yao at an astonishing rate; in just three days, he could deplete one Ling Yao.

While cultivating, Carson Flores waited for word from Kellan Gentry and Jorge Gross. He was not in a hurry; after all, cultivating was all the same for him, no matter where he practiced.

Time swiftly passed, and just over half a year later, Carson Flores had absorbed all fifty Ling Yao. The quantity of Spiritual Energy in his Dantian soared, his Primordial Spirit grew even sturdier, yet there seemed to be a slight distance from reaching the Mid-Stage of God Transformation.

Carson Flores couldn’t help but sigh that after Divinity Transformation, advancing truly became difficult!

These Ling Yao were sought after by Cultivators, yet he had seized fifty in one go, and still, he hadn’t crossed even one level!

No wonder Cultivators after God Transformation often spent decades advancing a stage; if one didn’t encounter any opportunities and solely relied on absorbing Spirit Stones or nature’s spiritual energy to increase their strength, the speed was painfully slow, almost like a turtle’s crawl.

As Carson Flores sighed, Kellan Gentry and Jorge Gross returned.

The two entered the cave and were immediately struck with surprise upon seeing Carson Flores.

Because Carson Flores was in the midst of cultivating and had not concealed his aura, the two could easily sense how much stronger he had become since they parted.

Carson Flores had grown stronger!

Much stronger!

Jorge Gross asked in surprise, ”Have you reached the Mid-Stage of God Transformation?”

Carson Flores responded with a wry smile, ”Not yet. The difficulty in advancing is much greater than I imagined. I feel I’m just a bit short.”

Jorge Gross continued, surprised, ”How have you been cultivating? Your pace is incredibly fast; we’ve been gone for just half a year!”

”Fifty Ling Yao.”

Carson Flores answered candidly, ”I snatched them from the Eternal Mine, used them all up in one breath, and yet I still haven’t advanced.”

Jorge Gross inhaled sharply, ”Ling Yao? That’s produced by the Demon Race’s occupied territories; Human Cultivators have no chance to enjoy them. One is hard to come by, and you actually seized fifty!”

Carson Flores said with a smile, ”Just lucky, happened to be in the right place.”

Jorge Gross replied with a bitter smile, ”No wonder you’re the Human Emperor. With your speed of advancement, it probably won’t take many years for you to reach the Hollow Void Realm. By that time, there won’t be many in this world who could be your match...”

Carson Flores replied with a smile, ”That’s not necessarily true. There are many formidable people in this world. I’m quite puzzled; they’re neither in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage nor Immortals, so how could they be so powerful, far surpassing the strength of the Hollow Void Realm...”

Jorge Gross answered, ”The people you’re talking about, they’re not from the present, are they? They’re figures from ancient times, right?”

Carson Flores nodded, his gaze expectant as he looked at Jorge Gross, ”Yes.”

Jorge Gross asked, ”Can you say who it is?”

Carson Flores replied frankly, ”The Immortal Slaves in the Valley of Death, after all, they’re considered Demi Immortals, stronger than the Hollow Void; I can understand that. But then I met an old woman who claimed to be the Demon Ancestor. She was very powerful, not even the Emperor Seal could suppress her...”

”Demon Ancestor?”

Jorge Gross’s expression changed dramatically as he stared intently at Carson Flores, ”You’ve seen her? A living Demon Ancestor?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”Mhmm, she was asleep in a Black Stone Coffin. I personally witnessed the Crimson Dragon King and the others resurrect her; they treated her with utmost respect, calling her the Demon Ancestor...”

Jorge Gross looked extremely solemn, ”The Demon Ancestor’s resurrection is a major threat to the Human Race!”

Carson Flores inquired, ”Jorge, do you know the background of the Demon Ancestor?”

Carson Flores had previously asked Lilianna Norman about the background of the Demon Ancestor, but even Lilianna Norman mentioned not being clear on that. She was simply following the Demon Emperor’s commands to resurrect the Demon Ancestor underground.

Jorge Gross replied, ”I’ve studied ancient records and know a bit more about the ancient matters. ’Demon Ancestor’ is an honorary title from the Demon Race, not an actual Realm level. Her real title is Great Witch.”

”Great Witch?”

Carson Flores was puzzled, ”What level of Cultivator is that? It’s not in the power system hierarchy of Cultivators.”

Jorge Gross replied with a wry smile, ”Of course not. If you understand the chronological order, you won’t find it strange.”

Carson Flores blinked, his expression one of shock; he grasped the subtext of Jorge Gross’s words.

”You mean... the existence of the Great Witch predates the establishment of the Cultivator’s power system hierarchy?”
