The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1497: Chapter 1497: Is This Just a Bit of Good Luck?

Carson Flores could only smile bitterly at the decisions of his master, senior brothers, and senior sister.

He couldn’t force them, and putting himself in their shoes, he understood their choices.

”Where did they ultimately choose to go?”

Lance Matthews responded, ”The Boundary Gate Place. Many sects have learned that you’ve obtained the Heavenly Sword Inheritance, become a junior uncle of the White Crane Immortal Sect, and also hold the identity of the Human Emperor of the Barbaric Wilderness Realm. Everyone is very interested in your master, senior brothers, and senior sister.”

”Your master Daxton Campbell declined numerous invitations and decided to temporarily become a loose immortal. However, he hopes his disciples can join sects that suit them best.”

”Under the recommendation of Outer Sect Elder Ben Newman, your senior brother joined the Heaven’s Path Sect, located on the Blood Martial Continent. The Heaven’s Path Sect places great emphasis on enlightenment. They have a highly unique cultivation method focused on comprehension rather than traditional cultivation. Their disciples may go centuries without any progress in power but could suddenly break through multiple realms in a single day without warning.”

Carson’s eyes lit up. ”My senior brother studied scriptures for a hundred years and broke through four realms in a single day, reaching the Hollow Void Realm. This cultivation method really suits him.”

Lance nodded. ”Indeed. The Heaven’s Path Sect is also very interested in your senior brother. After his initiation, he is now a first-generation disciple of the sect.”

Carson smiled. ”What about my second senior brother and third senior sister?”

”Your second senior brother Elijah White joined the Hundred Tribulations Gate on the Dragon Spirit Continent, while your third senior sister Delaney Hunter joined the Divine Sword Sect on the White Feather Continent...”

Carson furrowed his brows slightly. ”The same Divine Sword Sect that invited me right after I ascended?”

Lance nodded. ”Yes, the Divine Sword Sect follows the path of the Sword Dao. Your senior sister has a Sword Bone physique, and joining the Divine Sword Sect is a perfect fit for her. With such a special physique, she will undoubtedly be prioritized for cultivation in the sect. After all, not everyone has an Innate Sword Spirit Body. Although your Sword Bones were acquired later, they are still a force to be reckoned with.”

Carson appeared a little concerned. ”I heard that the Divine Sword Sect is rife with internal conflicts?”

Lance laughed. ”Is that why you rejected the Divine Sword Sect back then, junior uncle?”

Carson nodded frankly. ”Yes, I dislike internal strife. In my perspective, a sect should be a community of shared destiny, thriving and suffering together.”

Lance’s eyes sparkled with admiration. ”I completely agree with you, junior uncle. Elder Wu also discussed this with Delaney, but she still chose the Divine Sword Sect. She said she fears no challenges and will press forward without hesitation...”

Carson smiled bitterly and then asked, ”What about the strength of the Hundred Tribulations Gate? Isn’t the Dragon Spirit Continent almost completely devastated by war? Wouldn’t that be very dangerous?”

Lance chuckled. ”The Hundred Tribulations Gate is quite strong, no weaker than us. Although the Dragon Spirit Continent is constantly torn by warfare, this has also made its cultivators the strongest in combat prowess and determination—something we on the Skyland Continent cannot compare to...”

Since everyone had already made their choices, Carson couldn’t say much. Besides, the sects they joined were all very powerful. While not part of the Ten Great Sects of the Thunder Immortal Realm, they were all top-tier forces with unique strengths, perfectly suited for each of them.

”What about my master?”

”Ben Newman invited him to the White Crane Immortal Sect, and he stayed there for about three months before leaving, saying he wanted to wander around and appreciate the scenery of the Thunder Immortal Realm. Where he went after that is unknown.”

”By the way, they each left you a message. I think it’s what they wanted to say to you personally...”

Lance handed over four Soulmirror Stones to Carson, but Carson didn’t hurry to look at them. After all, it didn’t make much difference whether he checked them sooner or later.

Carson shared with Lance the detailed accounts of accepting disciples and his adventures, leaving Lance utterly astonished.

Carson had somehow earned the favor of a Heavenly Immortal, entered the Palace of Seven Beauties, and the Divine Brilliance Tower, obtained a Golden-Winged Great Roc hatchling, and even studied under the Pill King for five years!

Carson’s experiences over the past few years were nothing short of extraordinary!

Not to mention, Carson had absorbed the inner core of a Flame Dragon Ghost Bat comparable to a Heavenly Immortal, significantly enhancing his strength. Although he had not yet stepped into the Late Human Immortal stage, it was said that he was already very close.

And it had only been a few years!

Advancing as an Immortal is no easy feat. Even improving by a minor realm could take decades, centuries, or even millennia. For even the lowest-level Human Immortals, advancing by a single minor realm in over a hundred years was considered normal.

Lance suddenly began to understand Carson’s self-assessment.

Not very talented, just a little lucky!

Carson had only been in the Immortal Realm for a few years, yet he had already inherited the legacy of Senior Li from the Full Moon Illusionary Realm, passed through the Palace of Seven Beauties, helped his disciples secure great fortunes, entered the Divine Brilliance Tower, and more. How could this be merely ”lucking out a little”?

It was luck that had practically exploded!

The Son of Destiny!

Lance couldn’t contain his excitement. He was well aware of how crucial luck, despite its elusive nature, was for cultivators!

No matter how talented or genius a person might be, decades of hard cultivation could never compare to someone with exceptional luck encountering a fortuitous opportunity that gifted them a peerless treasure or secret inheritance, skyrocketing their strength. How could anyone compete with that?
