Chapter 783: Chapter 783 Ambush_1

The lotus seed held in his mouth released a cool breath, and Carson Flores’s somewhat muddled mind suddenly cleared.

The sensation was similar to eating a mint candy, the kind that makes one’s mind clear up abruptly.

After a while, Carson Flores opened his eyes and looked at the bronze plate again.

The ancient inscriptions once again blossomed with white light, stinging Carson Flores’s eyes, but at that moment, a coolness appeared in his eyes, greatly reducing the sensation of pain.

Carson Flores was overjoyed and hurriedly concentrated to observe the inscriptions carefully.

This time, he managed to persist for five minutes before his eyes started to sting again.

He closed his eyes and recalled what he had seen previously. The images became much clearer, no longer murky as if shrouded in a layer of fog.

It really worked!

Thinking that this was a life-saving technique, Carson Flores stayed a few more days, quietly hiding in his room studying the inscriptions.

These inscriptions had a kind of Taoist charm that could only be understood intuitively and not conveyed in words, and Carson Flores vaguely understood why Adelaide Bautista didn’t teach him directly, but instead let him observe and comprehend it on his own from this cyan stone plate.

Some things are useless to just talk about; only when you feel the Taoist charm and grasp it can you truly have a chance to perform the Ground Shrinking Technique.

Carson Flores bid farewell to Lucy Frost, leaving her a lotus seed, and then quietly left Mount Kahdas.

Upon entering the Secret Realm, Carson Flores stopped and began to practice the Great Secret Technique of the Ground Shrinking Technique when no one was around.

After several days of practice, he went from being completely confused to making some gains.

Carson Flores stepped down, and Spiritual Energy surged forth, with Spirit Light flashing. Instantly, a series of spirit patterns appeared beneath his feet, constructing a miniature formation with unique spiritual energy fluctuations, like stepping on blossoming lotuses with each stride.

As the spirit patterns flowed and light flickered, Carson Flores took a step forward, and the scenery ahead suddenly drew closer, as if he had traversed space in an instant.

Looking back, he had covered a distance of several hundred meters with just one step.

Carson Flores was thrilled. Although he couldn’t fully unleash the power of the Ground Shrinking Technique due to his current strength, this was already a successful application.

A few hundred meters in one step, two or three steps could take him a kilometer away—this speed was impressive.

If he encountered danger, using it to escape quickly would be much faster than a Flying Boat or a Flying Sword.

Most importantly, in a dangerous situation, no one would have time to throw out a Flying Boat and activate it, and while controlling a sword may look impressive, its speed was just mediocre.

Awesome!

He had originally intended to visit Adelaide Bautista with gratitude for her help to his family, never expecting her to give him such an incredible gift.

According to her, it seemed that she was the only person who had studied the Great Secret Technique of the Ground Shrinking Technique. It hadn’t even been passed to Mount Kahdas, meaning currently, the only people who knew it were Adelaide Bautista and himself!

Excited, Carson Flores continued to deploy the mysterious steps. His figure was indeed like a fleeting shadow, reaching a kilometer away within minutes, his form graceful, resembling an Immortal.

However, he didn’t go far before he hastily stopped.

He couldn’t keep up with the consumption of Spiritual Power!

Carson Flores was only at the Golden Core Realm, and while casting ordinary secret techniques or spells was fine, each step of the Great Secret Technique like the Ground Shrinking Technique required a substantial amount of Spiritual Energy. With Carson Flores’s limited foundation, he felt his spiritual power nearly drained after a short walk.

After recovering for a bit, Carson Flores took out his Flying Boat and continued his journey to Jade Peak City.

He had to clarify what exactly the clues about the Tomb of the Demon Emperor that Joaquin Moses mentioned were. Before, he had no interest in entering Harmony Hollow Forbidden Ground, and even the lure of the Tomb of the Demon Emperor was unlikely to make him risk his life. But now that it involved his father, he was determined to learn more.

What if he was still alive?

After a day of flight, Carson Flores exited the barrier of Mount Kahdas Cave Heaven and headed towards Jade Peak City.

The Flying Boat moved steadily and quickly. As it passed through a valley, a figure rose swiftly from within the valley, charging towards the Flying Boat silently and swiftly.

At the same time, the Silver Flood Dragon Scissors flew up, turning into two beams of silver light like silver flood dragons, aiming directly at the Flying Boat and Carson Flores, attempting a deadly assault.

Sitting on the Flying Boat, its structure blocked Carson Flores’s view, but he still sensed the strong surge of Spiritual Energy appearing below him.

In that instant, a chill ran down Carson Flores’s spine and nearly instinctively, without care for the fact that the Flying Boat was still in midair, he leaped out, catapulting upward, instantly jumping away from the Flying Boat.

The moment Carson Flores leaped away, the two beams of light from the Silver Flood Dragon Scissors crashed into his Flying Boat.

"Crack!"

The defensive formation of the Flying Boat shattered instantly, and the Flying Boat was cleaved into two by the beams of silver light.

If Carson Flores hadn’t reacted quickly enough and leaped out of the Flying Boat, he would have been sliced apart by the beams of silver light.

Carson Flores’s cold sweat flowed freely.

Who could it be, attacking him so viciously?

Could it be an expert from Blood Shadow pursuing him?
