Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058 Let’s Kill Them Together

"That’s not the case."

Although Mystical Immortal Island is indeed very magical, Carson Flores was not keen on going there.

Losing one’s memory was far too terrifying for him.

If he were lucky and only lost the memories formed on Mystical Immortal Island, that would be tolerable, but if he were to lose decades of memories, that would be a complete disaster.

For those elderly cultivators who were over a thousand years old, losing a few decades of memories was only a small fraction of their lifetime’s memories. But he was only in his thirties—losing decades would mean having no memories at all, like a blank sheet of paper, wouldn’t it?

His parents, his wife, his friends, his experiences—all would be gone!

How could that be acceptable!

It was precisely for this reason that Carson Flores was very resistant to the idea of going to Mystical Immortal Island, even though everyone said that going there meant either becoming an immortal or dramatically increasing one’s strength and gaining lots of good stuff before leaving the island to return to the world. But none of that could tempt Carson Flores.

He just wanted to be himself and live well!

He didn’t want to be a strong person who had lost his memories. Hasn’t it all been shown on TV? How miserable those strong people who’ve lost their memories are.

Jorge Gross asked with surprise, "Everyone wants to go to Mystical Immortal Island, everyone wants to become an immortal, why don’t you want the Mystical Immortal Token?"

Carson Flores chuckled, "I don’t want to lose my memory."

Jorge Gross suddenly understood and accepted Carson Flores’s answer.

Indeed, not everyone is willing to become strong at the cost of losing their memory. If one loses their memory, are they still themselves?

"Then what do you want?"

Carson Flores shook his head, "I’ve told you, I don’t want anything else. I just want to reclaim my dignity. After all, I was nearly killed by a scheme. Moreover, these two guys are not good people at all. Killing them would be doing the people a service."

Zaire Schneider chuckled, "If we start killing the innocent like they do, are you prepared to strike hard at us in the name of serving the people too?"

Carson Flores shook his head, "I don’t have that kind of ability. But if you really become ruthless killers, then I might have to make a move on Caden Compton, snatch the Essence Bead, and then make a quick escape..."

Caden Compton pursed his lips and shook his head with a wry smile, not knowing whether to feel relieved or helpless.

Carson Flores was only at the Nascent Soul Realm, but the combat power he displayed far exceeded that of the Nascent Soul Stage.

He easily killed twenty or thirty Hollow Void and Divinity Transformation cultivators. Just imagine, if he were to suddenly pull a move like that on the Vajra Bandits, how many of them would survive?

He was also able to rescue everyone without a single loss right under the noses of two top Hollow Void powerhouses.

He had every right to speak to everyone as an equal. He had the ability, the strength!

Kellan Gentry laughed heartily, "Well, no matter where you come from, you saved our Vajra Gang. If there’s anything you need in the future, just ask. Although I can’t repay you with my life, repaying you a few favors isn’t a problem."

Carson Flores smiled, "Fine. If I really need help in the future, I will definitely ask. But for now, let’s work together and deal with those two bandit groups."

Kellan Gentry said generously, "Alright, then everything will proceed as usual. Since you’re willing to stay, you’re still a member of our gang."

Carson Flores replied with a smile, "Yeah, just like before."

Kellan Gentry wasn’t one to dilly-dally. Gratitude was something to be kept in the heart, and since Carson Flores said so, he didn’t waste words.

"Everyone, treat your wounds for now. We’ll find a place to lay low and rest for a while later."

"Okay!"

Both Kellan Gentry and Jorge Gross were seriously injured and clearly needed time to recover.

After treating their wounds and resting briefly, the group set off again and found a secluded place to settle down.

"Let’s stay here for a while until we’ve recovered our combat power. Then we’ll go settle the score with those two bastards!"

Carson Flores said with a smile, "In that case, I’ll also go into seclusion for a while to see if there’s a chance for me to break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage."

Kellan Gentry laughed heartily, "Alright, I wish you success!"

Carson Flores picked a quiet spot, set up a Formation to conceal himself, and then took out the box containing the Black Profound Stone Essence Bead.

The Black Profound Stone Essence Bead was the size of an apple, shiny black throughout, with intricate patterns on it, obviously refined by a master.

Carson Flores channeled a spell into the Essence Bead, and it immediately began to float, hovering directly above his head.

Carson Flores felt a cool sensation descending from his head, calming his entire body and mind instantly, as the chaotic thoughts in his head quickly subsided.

The entire world became quiet.

Carson Flores sat cross-legged, and that sitting lasted a whole day.

In one day, Carson Flores fully entered this ethereal state of enlightenment.

Carson Flores contemplated, feeling as if some things that were usually imperceptible were now faintly present in his mind but were difficult to describe specifically.

Carson Flores estimated the time and took out the three remaining Enlightenment Fruits he had left, consuming one immediately.

The Black Profound Stone Essence Bead had an efficacy of only ten days. With nine days remaining, and with three Enlightenment Fruits, one for every three days, it added up neatly to nine days.

The Black Profound Stone Essence plus Heaven-reaching Lotus Seeds plus Enlightenment Fruit—Carson Flores was going all out.

Success or failure hinged on this one move!
