The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 837: Chapter 837: The Dispute Begins!

”Is it true that with the Emperor’s Sutra Heaven Scroll, all three volumes combined, one can ascend to immortality?”

Carson Flores’s question had made Daxton Campbell fall into a rare contemplation.

After a long while, Daxton Campbell sighed lightly, ”Ten thousand years, time is too long; the truth has long been buried, leaving behind only an ambiguous legend. Yet, one thing is certain, without the complete Emperor’s Sutra, it is impossible to reach the realm of ascension to immortality. However, whether the Emperor’s Sutra is the only essential element for ascension to immortality, no one knows.”

Carson Flores didn’t receive a definitive answer, but he wasn’t disheartened either.

Take your time to study it.

From Golden Core to Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Hollow Void, and finally, the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, he still had much time.

”What was the power of the Demon Emperor and Human Emperor back then? Were they considered immortals?”

Daxton Campbell replied softly, ”Some say yes, some say no, but whether they were or not, no one knows. The heirs of the Demon Emperor have appeared; perhaps many matters, shrouded in mist like this, will gradually find their answers.”

Carson Flores changed his question, ”In Barbaric Wilderness Realm, are the strongest now those at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage?”

The corners of Daxton Campbell’s mouth lifted into a smile, ”The Transcendence Tribulation Stage, although it is also a realm, is unlike other stages; it is a one-way path with no return and no pause. Stepping into the Transcendence Tribulation Stage means you are prepared to challenge the Heavenly Tribulation; either become an immortal or be annihilated. Thus, strictly speaking, the most powerful are those at the Great Perfection of Hollow Void.”

Carson Flores widened his eyes, ”Cultivators cannot stay in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage?”

Daxton Campbell nodded, explaining, ”The Transcendence Tribulation Stage can actually be understood as a preparatory period for opposing the Heavenly Tribulation, lasting about three months. Once you step beyond Hollow Void and enter Transcendence, it means that you will inevitably face the Heavenly Tribulation after three months, with no way to avoid it.”

”The current situation is that no one can transcend the Heavenly Tribulation; no matter how formidable the geniuses, carrying the most powerful magical treasures, under the Heavenly Tribulation, they will all be turned to dust. Under these circumstances, stepping into the Transcendence Tribulation Stage indeed greatly enhances one’s strength, surpassing those in the Hollow Void Stage, becoming invincible in a sense, but it also means that their lifespan is merely three months.”

”If it’s not facing a certain death situation, for the time being, in Barbaric Wilderness Realm, those at Great Perfection of Hollow Void will not cross that line, even if they already possess the capability to do so. After all, if you can live, who would want to face death willingly?”

Carson Flores finally understood completely.

No wonder he had heard of Hollow Void Realm experts, but never about any from the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

Daxton Campbell glanced at Carson Flores, ”Your father, as the chosen heir of the Heart of the Demon Emperor, will naturally head to the East Victorious State. That fox lady you mentioned must be Lilianna Norman, the Demon Race princess with the Demon Emperor’s bloodline. Like Bryant James, she has an Innate Taoist Body, the phenomenon being Tide of the Azure Sea, and is among the top talents of the young Demon Race.”

”Since she has appeared at the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, the entire affair might just be a scheme of the Demon Race to lure human cultivators with the emergence of divine magical treasures, planning to capture them all. However, it was thwarted by your discovery of the solution to the peculiar poison of Harmony Hollow, so their plan failed.”

”She, carrying the Demon Emperor heir, wishes to leave the East Victorious State safely, but the journey is long and surely not that smooth. Human Cultivators will not stand by and will definitely try to eliminate the Demon Emperor Heir, although the Demon Race is also certainly prepared. All in all, the battle between the Human Race and the Demon Race is likely to ignite again,” Daxton Campbell sighed lightly.

”The Demon Emperor Heir has already emerged while the Human Emperor’s successor still remains without a trace; could it be that the great calamity from ten thousand years ago is to be repeated?”

Human Emperor’s successor?

Possessing the Emperor Seal, does that count?

Carson Flores murmured to himself again, yet still dared not make a sound.

Carson Flores suddenly realized he had quite a few secrets on him, the Life Essence Pearl, the Emperor Seal, the Emperor’s Sutra; he dared not divulge any of them.

”I will go out for a while; you all should continue to cultivate well.”

”Okay!”

Delaney Hunter and Carson Flores left Pure Sky Mountain to return to their small cliffside cottage at Flying Waterfall Mountain Peak.

”The master usually secludes himself and does not go out, but now he has taken the initiative to leave, it seems he is quite concerned about the emergence of the Demon Emperor Heir,” Carson Flores thought about what he had said earlier regarding the various sects planning to eliminate the Demon Emperor Heir, and felt considerable worry.

Delaney Hunter guessed his worries and comforted him, ”The Demon Race came prepared; they won’t let your father be easily slain. Although the Demon Race’s power is not as strong as before, there are still many formidable Demon Kings.”

Carson Flores curiously asked, ”What’s the difference between Great Demons and Demon Kings?”

Delaney Hunter explained, ”Great Demons generally refer to Demonic Beasts in the Transformation Phase, which also includes Demon Kings. However, Demon Kings specifically refer to those at the pinnacle of the Transformation Phase, possessing limitless Divine Skills. Usually, their power is comparable to the Later Stages of Hollow Void, even the Great Perfection of Hollow Void. These individuals will not simply watch your father be killed.”

After a pause, Delaney Hunter also sighed, ”The strife between the Human Race and the Demon Race has started again...”
