The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2289: Chapter 2289: The Mountains Are High and the Road Is Long—Till We Meet Again

”The Void Lotus Herb is said to disregard bottlenecks. I’m currently stuck at Peak Heavenly Immortal, could this Void Lotus Herb aid my ascension to Great Land?”

”Of course, it’s useful!”

Lucas White affirmed: ”The effect of the Void Lotus Herb is to eliminate bottlenecks. And what is a bottleneck?”

Carson Flores replied: ”The greatest bottleneck, the most difficult place, is the inability to perceive the next realm. Behind that thick barrier lies an entirely new world, yet you can’t perceive it at all, nor find the door to enter.”

”Exactly!”

Lucas White smiled: ”To achieve a breakthrough, you need to clearly perceive the new realm, and then find a path through it, which is the door you mentioned. The Void Lotus Herb helps people perceive the new realm and find that door, but whether you can push open the door, successfully break through and ascend depends on fate.”

Carson Flores understood instantly: ”You mean the Void Lotus Herb can help us gain insight, but can’t guarantee we’ll ascend smoothly?”

Lucas White laughed heartily: ”That’s for sure. You wouldn’t think relying on just one or a few herbs would withstand the ferocious Heavenly Tribulation and ensure a 100% breakthrough and ascend, would you?”

Carson Flores replied with a smile: ”I wouldn’t dare to hope for that. Previously, in Meditation Valley, I ascended from Late Celestial Immortal to Great Perfection of Heavenly Immortal. I gained insights for a long time but always felt something was missing. Though I could vaguely sense the new realm beyond Great Land, it felt insubstantial, hazy as if seeing flowers through a fog.”

Lucas White smiled: ”With the Void Lotus Herb, you can clear the fog and see the blue sky. If you’re ready, you can cross the tribulation and ascend beyond Great Land.”

Carson Flores’ eyes brightened, and his heart surged with intense fervor.

”What does it mean to be ready?”

Lucas White shook his head: ”Everyone’s situation is different. There’s no standard. Specifically for individuals, you need to have sufficient strength, undefeatable confidence, and unyielding will. These three are essential; otherwise, it’s impossible to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.”

”Breaking through from Celestial Immortal, this Heavenly Tribulation is unlike any you’ve experienced before...”

Carson Flores nodded: ”Thank you for your guidance. I’ll give it serious consideration.”

Lucas White suggested: ”You have ample Void Lotus Herb now. You might as well consume a few more to gain deeper and more thorough understanding of the realm above Great Land and the Heavenly Dao. This could increase your success rate to some extent.”

”Alright!”

Lucas White brought the topic back: ”See if there’s anything you need.”

Carson Flores swept his Divine Sense over the three Space Rings. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still stunned by the various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within.

Result of a year’s efforts of thousands of disciples from the three Great Sects, all here.

This grudge is quite significant.

Carson Flores chose some precious Immortal Elixirs that might be useful for Alchemy, and Lucas White generously divided the rest into halves, gathering one half in a Space Ring and tossing it to Carson Flores.

”Green Bird City, Mount Lingmiao, and White Magpie Sect must have gone mad, searching for our traces everywhere. My suggestion is to lay low for a while. What’s your plan?”

Carson Flores smiled: ”That’s what I intend as well. I’m planning to find a tranquil place to gain some insight and attempt to break through. If successful, I’ll head to the North Sea next.”

”North Sea?”

Lucas White was slightly surprised: ”Why go there? Eastern Radiance is vast and boundless, you don’t need to head to the North Sea just to avoid them.”

Carson Flores explained: ”I have a few friends there. I need to find them; this was previously decided.”

Lucas White realized: ”I see; it’s good. Although Green Bird City and the three sects have some power, it’s just that. If you go to the North Sea, they certainly won’t find you. Stay there for a few years. Even if you return to Eastern Radiance later, this matter will have passed, and no one will care.”

Carson Flores nodded: ”Yes, visit friends, avoid trouble, killing two birds with one stone. What about you, White?”

Lucas White pondered for a few seconds: ”I need to find my master, might have to go to West Prison, and stay there for quite a while.”

With these words, they both knew it was time to part ways.

For cultivators, even friends can’t always accompany each other.

Everyone has their path, which they must walk on their own!

Carson Flores clasped his hands: ”If that’s so, White, let’s bid farewell here!”

Lucas White returned the courtesy with ease: ”Alright, it’s been delightful to know you, Flores. When we meet again, let’s drink and celebrate till we’re finished!”

Carson Flores smiled: ”Alright, till we meet again, across mountains and waters!”

”Till we meet again!”

Lucas White turned into a rainbow and disappeared over the horizon. Carson Flores gazed at the sky, his face subtly thoughtful.

Lucas White heading to West Prison, perhaps he will go there in the future too. Will they have the chance to meet again then?
