The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 862: Chapter 862: Leaping Forward, Life and Death are Preordained

Carson Flores gingerly lifted the Water-Fire Mirror, casting the spell as a burst of flames appeared, sweeping a red light screen toward the Fire Essence.

A great swath of Fire Essence was swept up by the light screen and flew toward the Water-Fire Mirror.

Carson’s heart soared with tension.

Don’t break!

Don’t break at all!

The Fire Essence was drawn into the Water-Fire Mirror and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Carson stared intently at the Water-Fire Mirror.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

The Water-Fire Mirror was undamaged!

The Water-Fire Mirror was actually able to handle the Fire Essence and even withstand its weight!

Carson carefully examined the Water-Fire Mirror, but was surprised to find that the absorbed Fire Essence had not been transformed into pure Spiritual Energy, but instead remained in the form of Fire Essence within the Water-Fire Mirror.

Had the Water-Fire Mirror become a container?

An indestructible container!

Carson was overjoyed and gleefully began loading the Water-Fire Mirror with Fire Essence and Water Essence, stuffing it full until he could cram no more, then finally stopped.

Looking at the Water-Fire Mirror which appeared normal as ever, Carson had a hunch that the origin of this Water-Fire Mirror was no small matter!

It was probably not just a powerful magical treasure.

He had just loaded so much Water and Fire Essence, a strand of essentia as heavy as mountains—how much weight was that?

Carson suddenly found himself with nothing else to do, and it was then that he remembered, didn’t he have three demonic beasts?

The Snow Dragon Leopard King, Logan Moss, and the Vine Demon Josy.

These three demonic beasts respectively corresponded to water, fire, and wood—could they gain any benefits in such an environment?

Carson released them all.

”This is the Five Elements Immortal Palace, and this is the Five Elements Essence. See if you can find any benefits here, but it’s okay if you can’t, don’t force it.”

Logan Moss was the bravest and most volatile, charging forward immediately.

Although his experience was limited, he could sense the huge benefits the Origin Essence could bring him.

Logan Moss, which fed on fire, took a huge gulp of Fire Essence and then let out a scream as his whole head slammed into the ground.

Luckily, he spat it out quickly, or he might have lost his life right then and there.

Carson thought for a moment, ”I’ll use the Water-Fire Mirror to feed you a bit at a time. You eat slowly and see if it works.”

Carson manipulated the Water-Fire Mirror, releasing strands of Water and Fire Essence, which entered the mouths of two demonic beasts.

Dragon and Logan Moss both showed expressions of immense enjoyment, and in no time, they were stretching their mouths asking for more.

It actually worked!

They were actually able to consume the Water and Fire Essence!

What about the members of the Demon Race who had come in before?

Carson speculated that those demons might have also consumed some Five Elements Essence, but definitely not in large quantities, so ultimately, they still couldn’t pass through that gate.

Even if they had devoured some essence, if he let the three demonic races try to pass through that gate on their own, they would surely fail.

Carson turned to Josy, ”The Water-Fire Mirror can only absorb Water and Fire Essence; it can’t absorb Wood Essence. You have to find your own way.”

Josy looked at Samantha Tate, who was sitting cross-legged, and asked, ”Who is this? Why can she directly consume essentia?”

Carson introduced her, ”My Dao companion, Samantha Tate, she has a Wood Spirit Physique, so she can withstand the Wood Essence.”

Josy’s eyes lit up, ”So, she is the lady, right? Master, please allow me to benefit from the lady’s cultivation. I cannot directly absorb Wood Essence, but when the lady absorbs Wood Essence, it dilutes the Wood Essence, allowing me to absorb these scattered essences.”

Carson smiled, ”As long as you don’t interfere with her cultivation, it’s all right.”

Josy flew to Samantha’s side, extending countless vines which wrapped around Samantha like numerous tendrils.

Samantha directly absorbed Wood Essence, and as many loose strands of Wood Essence overflowed, Josy, who was nearby, quickly absorbed them.

Carson, seeing this, was greatly surprised.

He hadn’t expected that all three demonic beasts could actually consume essentia, potentially causing transformative changes for them.

Time flew by and another month passed.

Samantha had reached the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, and Carson once again brought out the Enlightenment Fruit for her to continue eating, trying to break through, as such opportunities were rare to come by.

Wood Essence, for Samantha Tate with her Wood Spirit Physique, was simply the most perfect item for cultivation.

”Keep these three fruits for yourself, brother. I have advanced too quickly, and I now feel completely lost, without any sense of direction. Eating more would probably be of no use, so let’s not waste them....”

Just as Carson was about to persuade her to try, the entire Five Elements Immortal Palace suddenly shook. The gold, wood, water, fire, and earth formations suddenly brightened intensely, and the central Light Gate also began to boil like water.

Samantha’s face changed as she exclaimed, ”The Five Elements Immortal Palace is about to vanish into the void!”

Carson’s expression turned grave, ”We must leave immediately, staying will mean death!”

As described on the inscriptions on the walls, the Celestial Palace appeared randomly in the world, then existed for a period before vanishing back into the void, and in the void, no one could survive for long!

”Let’s go!”

Carson quickly recalled the three demonic beasts, which had all fallen into a deep slumber due to consuming a great deal of essentia.

The Celestial Palace trembled even more violently.

Carson grabbed Samantha’s hand and raced toward the Light Gate at the center.

At the entrance of the Light Gate, the two exchanged a glance, seeing the determination in each other’s eyes.

Without any hesitation, hand in hand, they leaped into the churning Light Gate.
