Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Many Things Are Not Worth the Gamble

"I’ve already achieved Golden Core Great Perfection, I’m at the bottleneck stage now."

Delaney Hunter said in disbelief, "Before we came here, weren’t you just entering the Golden Core Late Stage? There’s a difference between that and Golden Core Great Perfection, make sure you haven’t got it wrong!"

Carson Flores chuckled and recounted how he had quietly cultivated under the water to evade the Golden Lion and finally reached Golden Core Great Perfection.

Delaney Hunter looked at Carson Flores for a long time before sighing helplessly, "You little stinker, you really do have some luck."

Carson Flores laughed, "It’s all thanks to the elder brother’s Dharma Seal hiding my presence. Otherwise, with the Golden Lion above my head, I would have been a goner."

"That’s why it’s your luck we’re talking about you just happened to be able to escape."

After a sigh of admiration, Delaney Hunter pointed out, "Now that you’ve reached Great Perfection, the Enlightenment Fruit is just what you need. After you have completely refined the Sword Bone, you can try using the Enlightenment Fruit for a breakthrough."

Carson Flores’s eyes widened in surprise and he asked eagerly, "Can it break the bottleneck and promote me directly?"

Delaney Hunter gave Carson Flores a look, "It’s not that easy, alright? It only aids in comprehension, enhancing the probability of a breakthrough. If someone is utterly dull, even countless fruits would be useless. But with sufficient talent, it can lend a hand, allowing one to feel the existence of the door to breaking through the barrier in the unknown."

Carson Flores was suddenly enlightened and thrilled.

This was just like finding a pillow when wanting to sleep!

To break through that door, with persistent effort, anyone could manage, but finding that door was very hard. In fact, touching that door meant the breakthrough was halfway successful already.

"Will one be enough?"

Delaney Hunter replied, "As I just said, it’s about probability. If one is not enough, then continue until you succeed. As for how many you’ll need, that depends on your luck."

Carson Flores was slightly disappointed, "So I might just need one, but I could also eat nine and still not succeed, right?"

Delaney Hunter poked Carson Flores in the chest and scolded without a good mood, "Don’t look so disappointed. Do you have any idea how difficult a breakthrough is? Even the transition from Golden Core to Nascent Soul is impossible for some Cultivators with limited talent in their entire lives. For those with good talent, it’s completely normal to be stuck for ten, twenty or even several decades. And let’s not even talk about beyond Nascent Soul. These nine fruits could save you enormous amounts of time. Be content with what you have."

Carson Flores inquired, "How about you take a few, senior sister?"

"No need," Delaney Hunter promptly refused, "I’ve just entered the Divinity Transformation, and who knows how long it will take to reach Peak of Spirit Transformation. It’s useless for me now, you just eat them yourself, so you can level up quicker and not get beaten up everywhere."

Beaten up everywhere?

Carson Flores was suddenly a bit embarrassed; that statement was a blow to one’s self-esteem.

Why was he still a newbie who had gone straight up against elite talents and top-notch powerhouses?

Could he not get beaten up?

If it was someone of the same age, let’s see who would beat whom!

"Alright then, I’ll keep hold of them for now. If you achieve Nascent Soul Great Perfection later and need them, I’ll give them to you."

Delaney Hunter nodded, "We’ll talk about that later. Let’s pack up and head back."

Carson Flores curiously asked, "Aren’t we waiting for the elder brother?"

Delaney Hunter laughed, "Elder brother isn’t returning to Nutwood. He’s always wandering. We don’t need to wait for him. I reckon they’ll head back into Harmony Hollow to explore the Tomb of the Demon Emperor. Even if it seems unlikely, they definitely won’t just leave like that."

Carson Flores nodded, "Okay then, I’ll steer clear of the big players’ activities."

Why get involved further?

The Emperor Sovereign Scripture, the most valuable item for Human Cultivators, was already in his own hands. Why not take the opportunity to flee?

Carson Flores and Delaney Hunter set off on the return journey, stopped by the nearest city to call Tobias Singleton, and the three of them made their way back to Nutwood Mountain.

It was an uneventful trip and they arrived safely.

Carson Flores left Tobias Singleton to settle in the marketplace and followed Delaney Hunter to meet with their master, Daxton Campbell.

Daxton Campbell showed a rare look of surprise on his usually indifferent face after listening to their story.

"The Demon Emperor Heir is actually your father?"

Carson Flores nodded, "Yes, but he’s in a peculiar state right now, and I have no idea what will happen in the future. I want to bring my mother from Mount Kahdas back to live at Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak, so I ask for master’s consent."

"Granted."

Daxton Campbell agreed to Carson Flores’s request and then, after pondering for a moment, threw out two Jade Slips, "These are the Emperor Scripture Human Scroll and the Earth Scroll. Have a look at them. It’s not important whether you practice them or not, but you can try to comprehend them. Since the Demon Emperor Heir is your father, you might eventually have a chance to come into contact with the Heaven Scroll."

The Heaven Scroll is already in my Space Ring.

Carson Flores murmured to himself internally but didn’t dare to say it out loud. He didn’t know how much danger exposing this would bring, or how much peril it might cause him.

Ascension to immortality is an irresistible temptation for Cultivators!

Delaney Hunter once said, Master Daxton Campbell didn’t care about worldly matters, but his sole pursuit was to ascend to immortality.

He chose to trust his father’s words, not to tell anyone.

His father wouldn’t harm him, after all.

And the master?

Didn’t the senior sister say that Cultivators have their own fortunes, and one need only know about it oneself without informing others, even if they are close to you?

In front of human nature, there are many things you simply can’t gamble with!
