The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2290: Chapter 2290: Damn Heaven, Bring It On!

Remote mountains and wilderness.

The Ethereal Pagoda quietly hovered above Carson Flores, releasing a golden light that enveloped him.

Carson Flores sat cross-legged, his expression calm, eyes closed, not saying a word.

He was in a state of enlightenment.

Having distanced himself from the Immortal Cultivation Sect and the city, Carson stopped in this wilderness rich with Spiritual Energy. After refining the Void Lotus Herb into a liquid and consuming it, his understanding swiftly achieved a breakthrough.

The new world, once faintly visible beyond a thick barrier in his perception, gradually became clearer, like distant mountains shrouded in thick fog, revealing their true forms as the sun dissipated the mist.

It was an endless, vast world!

In this world, countless rules operated, intertwined, and even disintegrated or formed anew. As Carson’s perception gradually extended towards this world, he saw the ”Heavenly Dao.”

The Heavenly Dao was not a tangible object, but in Carson’s sensory world, it could be mountains and rivers, lakes, winds, or fire. It could be the ethereal space or the unceasing flow of time.

The Heavenly Dao, in this world, was so clear.

Carson’s perception stretched like tendrils, probing into this world and extending towards the numerous manifestations of the Dao.

Suddenly, Carson had an epiphany: Divine Skills are manifestations of the Dao.

When you grasp a certain aspect of the Heavenly Dao, you can manifest it. As for the Innate Divine Ability, it refers to the first Dao grasped when breaking through!

It is called the Innate Divine Ability because, under the Great Land stage, one cannot have a Domain, cannot grasp the Dao, and cannot wield Divine Skills. Under this premise, the Dao that a person directly contacts and acknowledges is evidently the one most suited to their body!

Just as a Fire Spirit Root is suited to cultivating Fire-attribute Cultivation Techniques, you might not understand the situation, but your body will instinctively make a choice for you.

What will my Innate Divine Ability be?

Perhaps only after the breakthrough will I find out.

Carson sat for yet another year. In this year, he consumed eight Void Lotus Herbs in total.

Advancing to the Great Land is not child’s play; any mistake could result in annihilation.

Even though Delarosa said that even if he fails at Tribulation Crossing, she could forcibly protect Carson and save his life, this would mean his Immortal Path would be entirely cut off, halting forever, never having a chance to step onto the Great Land.

Carson, naturally, did not wish for such an outcome, so he was extremely cautious.

A year’s time may not be long, but it is not short either, especially under the effects of the Void Lotus Herb. Carson’s perception of the new world beyond the barrier became incredibly clear, as familiar as his home.

He had interacted with many manifestations of the Heavenly Dao in that world, and they felt quite good, to the point where Carson could not determine which Innate Divine Ability suited him.

Carson opened his eyes, his gaze turning resolute.

”Delarosa, I think I am ready.”

Delarosa’s voice calmly resonated: ”If you’re ready, then go. Don’t be afraid; I’ll be here for everything!”

”Thank you, Delarosa!”

With a flash of golden light from the Ethereal Pagoda, Selah Ellison Venerable One and Ben Singleton appeared in the air. Seeing Carson’s determined gaze, they immediately understood his decision.

Ben Singleton, with his hands behind his back, smiled and said, ”Ready?”

Carson nodded, ”Yes, after a year, my understanding is no longer vague. With the Nine Revolutions Great Land Pill, I have absolute confidence!”

Ben Singleton looked him over and laughed, ”Then go for it, after all, the Great Land is tough, but not that tough. You’ll be fine.”

Carson smiled, ”I also believe I will succeed.”

Ben Singleton advised, ”Crossing the Great Land Tribulation, it might hurt a bit. Bear with it; once you persevere, you’ll succeed. Do not waver or give up, or otherwise, the Heart Demon will seize the opportunity and lead you to your death.”

”Okay!”

Ben Singleton waved his hand, his body floating away from the area to watch the scene.

Selah Ellison Venerable One approached Carson, extended her arms, gently embraced him, her bright eyes like twinkling stars.

”Go for it, darling, you are the best!”

Carson returned the embrace to Selah Ellison Venerable One, kissed her forehead, his heart filled with a heroic spirit.

”I have walked from being an ordinary mortal to where I am today. I have faced countless life-and-death ordeals, and this Heavenly Tribulation will be no different.”

Selah Ellison Venerable One nodded gently and then quietly stepped back.

With a breakthrough imminent, she wished not to cause too much emotional turmoil in Carson, nor did she want any ties to hold him back.

Carson swallowed the Nine Revolutions Great Land Pill he had long prepared. His body rose into the air, and an incredibly terrifying aura suddenly surged from him.

”You wretched heavens, bring it on!”
