Chapter 2252: Chapter 2252: The Special Wager

Harmony Spring?

The Mirror of Elemental Harmony?

Choose one of the two?

Carson Flores felt a sinking feeling and quickly contemplated.

The opponent was merely a Primordial Spirit Projection, their combat power wouldn’t be too strong. With the Ethereal Pagoda, Carson should be able to escape, but what about after that?

Since the opponent could silently arrive in this world, it was clear they were adept at Space Divine Power. Coming back here or going to the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain wouldn’t be too difficult for them.

Could Carson shake him off?

Carson did not understand what terrifying means a being of such power might have, but his intuition told him that if the opponent intended to find him, he probably couldn’t hide.

Running wouldn’t solve the problem, so he had to face the choice now.

Carson stared at the middle-aged man and calmly asked, ”Senior, must I choose?”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, ”Yes, one for one, very fair, isn’t it?”

Pausing, the middle-aged man leisurely replied, ”I can responsibly tell you, the Harmony Land is extremely rare. I have traveled across countless worlds, only seen a few of them, let alone Harmony energy condensing into a spring, which is even harder. Given your current strength, if you miss this Harmony Spring, you may never find another even until you die.”

Carson nodded and decisively said, ”In that case, let’s trade. I’ll take the Harmony Spring, you take the Mirror of Elemental Harmony...”

”Wait!”

Ben Singleton stopped Carson: ”You haven’t asked my opinion yet.”

Carson turned his head and smiled, ”Harmony Water Fire Realm, as good as it is, is just a magical treasure, an inanimate object. But you’re a living person. If the Harmony Spring couldn’t be found, that’d be the end, but now that it has been found, how can you give it up?”

”Mr. Singleton, don’t forget, you’re a Great Land Prime Immortal, quite impressive. I’ve cured you, hoping you’ll protect me in the future. I want to rely on you. Can the Mirror of Elemental Harmony really compare to a living Great Land Prime Immortal? I’ve done the math.”

Ben Singleton’s eyes were complicated; he opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say for a moment. After a few seconds of silence, he turned to the middle-aged man: ”Since you want to take the Mirror of Elemental Harmony, you’ll have to leave a name, right?”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: ”Planning to find me to reclaim the mirror once you’ve healed?”

Ben Singleton nodded frankly: ”I have thought of that.”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and turned to look at Carson: ”As you said, the control method of the Mirror of Elemental Harmony is lost. Even though I take the mirror now, it’s basically just water and fire manipulation, which might be useful to you, but not much to me.”

”The Harmony energy is born from heaven and earth. Though I built the well and formed the spring, it doesn’t fully belong to me. So, since you chose the Harmony Spring, it’s yours. This Mirror of Elemental Harmony will also remain with you for now. If one day, I find the control method for the mirror, I will take it. But if you find the control method, it shows that you truly have a connection with it, and it will remain yours. Our arrangement today will be void, how does that sound?”

Carson was slightly stunned, initially thinking he’d lose the Mirror of Elemental Harmony today, yet unexpectedly, things turned around, and the opponent actually stepped back, offering him a choice.

Although given the strength levels of both sides, the opponent’s abilities were surely much greater than his, if the lost control method still existed, finding it was much likelier for him. However, Carson still had a chance.

Carson bowed and said, ”Thank you, senior. Let’s follow what the senior proposed, whoever finds the control method first will own the mirror.”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, ”If that’s the case, I’ll leave a mark on you, easy to find you. Of course, if something special happens, you can also contact me using this mark, as I wouldn’t want the Mirror of Elemental Harmony to fall into other hands.”

Carson’s eyes lit up, was the middle-aged man implying he could step in to help if Carson encountered danger?

Though all of this was because of the Mirror of Elemental Harmony, the opponent could have done absolutely nothing, which made Carson a bit puzzled: ”Senior, you could have simply taken the mirror, why do this...”

”Isn’t it redundant?”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, ”The Mirror of Elemental Harmony belonged to an old friend of mine. I was present when it gained fame in the Immortal Realm. Originally, I intended to retrieve it directly, but after hearing how you acquired it, I felt you truly had a connection with it, so I’m giving you the chance to prove yourself.”

”If you can find the control method, then you can inherit it. If you cannot, and if I do, then I’ll take it back. And considering the mirror’s relation to my old friend, I can give you extra help, but it’s limited to once, meaning I’ll only help you solve one crisis.”

”If, even with this condition, you still fail to protect it and someone takes it, then I will retrieve the mirror from them directly, regardless of whether you are still alive, the mirror will have no further relation to you...”
