Chapter 2821
"Yes, if it’s shattered, they won’t be able to sense or find it."
Carson Flores curiously inquired, "This person is a Sect Master from Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, with strength roughly at the Peak Great Land Prime Immortal, not having entered the Quasi-Saint Realm; can he still sense this drop of blood from so many Immortal Domains away?"
"He can!"
Halvion Ward explained, "This drop of Heart’s Blood has been refined; it’s not ordinary blood. You can think of it as a miniature liquid magical treasure. As long as it’s not isolated, its owner will be able to sense it."
"If the person has abilities like my teacher, they can arrive instantly. If not, they can only sense a rough direction, unable to pinpoint an exact location. However, with enough effort, they can always trace the direction and find it."
Carson Flores blinked, "Then this drop of blood better not break; I’ll keep it for now, perhaps it can give that person a little surprise in the future."
Halvion Ward smiled gently, and the drop of blood flew towards Carson Flores.
"Then, Brother Flores, you should carefully preserve it yourself, ideally storing it inside this magical treasure; otherwise, once you leave Grand Void Mountain, it will be sensed."
Carson Flores took out a porcelain bottle, stored the drop of blood properly, and placed it in the Palace of Seven Beauties.
After handling the Heart’s Blood, Carson Flores beamed at Nereida Nash, "Congratulations, you’re finally free and no longer have to fear being captured by Avidan Hartman."
Nereida Nash nodded excitedly, and gave Halvion Ward a respectful bow, "Thank you, Mr. Ward, for relieving me of my worries!"
Halvion Ward waved his hand and laughed, "It was a small effort, Brother Flores. What’s the third matter you wanted to discuss?"
Carson Flores asked, "Brother Ward, do you know of Broken Heaven Pathist?"
Halvion Ward’s expression was slightly surprised, "Broken Heaven Pathist was a Quasi-Saint from the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain over ten thousand years ago, a lone wanderer. Later, he had a grudge with the Quasi-Saint Thousand Demon Monarch, and after a fierce battle, he was defeated and disappeared. The Ten Thousand Immortals Domain and Bitter Sea Immortal Domain are quite distant; you shouldn’t know him, right?"
Carson Flores replied, "Broken Heaven Pathist was chased by Thousand Demon Monarch back then and fled all the way to Ten Thousand Immortals Domain..."
Carson Flores withheld nothing and disclosed everything about Broken Heaven Pathist, finally saying, "I want to find out if what he said is true and how the Thousand Demon Monarch is doing now, to decide whether or not to accept his commission. Of course, if Brother Ward is interested in Broken Heaven Pathist’s matters, I can hand over the Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice to you and leave it at that..."
Halvion Ward laughed, "I know you’re generous, but the Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice is Broken Heaven Pathist’s life-bound magic treasure, a Fire Attribute Treasure. Your Innate Divine Ability is the Five Elements Great Escape; this treasure, paired with the Fire Attribute Technique you cultivate, can greatly enhance its power."
"You entered with the Saint of Thieves, and because you kindly buried Broken Heaven Pathist’s body, he noticed you and chose you; that’s your fortune. Why should I take it?"
"A gentleman does not take what others love. We people of Grand Void Mountain are neither lacking in cultivation techniques nor magical treasures, and we won’t do such things. Since he’s asked you to find someone, you can proceed with confidence. If you do provoke the Thousand Demon Monarch, just name the Grand Void Mountain, and although the Thousand Demon Monarch is formidable, he wouldn’t dare provoke Grand Void Mountain."
"Later, I’ll give you a token. If you encounter danger in Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, activate the token, and I will come to assist you. Whether or not the matter is resolved, at least you can be assured of your safety."
Halvion Ward’s words were like a reassurance, putting Carson Flores at ease.
Though he trusted True Sage Grand Void and Halvion Ward’s character, it was their first meeting, and with life-bound spiritual treasures being rare in the entire Immortal Realm, he couldn’t be sure if they might be tempted.
To bring it up proactively, even if they did have intentions, there could be a more prudent solution. Not raising it might lead to more than just losing the Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice.
Carson Flores couldn’t be blamed for measuring a gentleman with a cautious heart; after all, compared to Grand Void Mountain, he was far too weak.
Choosing honesty and laying it all on the table was the best decision Carson Flores could make.
Since Halvion Ward had made his position clear, Carson Flores had confidence in his heart once more and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Ward; I’ve troubled you for help without knowing how to repay you."
Halvion Ward laughed, "Your Mirror of Elemental Harmony was a great help to my teacher this time; otherwise, things would have been tricky. We call this mutual assistance; there’s no need for thanks."
Carson Flores curiously asked, "Hasn’t the method to control the Mirror of Elemental Harmony been lost? Has it still not been found?"
Halvion Ward answered, "The place my teacher is going requires the Water-Fire power of the Mirror of Elemental Harmony. Without it, things would be inconvenient. However, with it, things become much easier. I suppose my teacher should have notable gains this time; in short, your Mirror of Elemental Harmony was a great help."
"I’m not just being polite; there’s no need for formality with me either. Besides, you were initially a guest here, and as hosts, we must take good care of our guests, correct?"
Carson Flores was very pleased, as all three matters had been resolved.
The issue with Nereida Nash was resolved, leaving only the search for the Leap Void Beast and information about Broken Heaven Pathist’s descendants.
After the diagnosis concluded, Halvion Ward handed Carson Flores an ancient book and a handwritten paper.
The ancient book contained a section on the Leap Void Beast, which even included illustrations of its appearance, as well as its lifestyle, abilities, combat style, and some legends.
The handwritten paper listed three locations, which Halvion Ward had gathered from various books as places where the Leap Void Beast might appear. Whether they actually did was up to Carson Flores to find and test his luck.
Carson Flores stayed at Grand Void Mountain for about ten days, during which most of his time was spent reading in the Scripture Pavilion.
He wasn’t reading about cultivation techniques or divine skills but rather gathering information about the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain.
Since he intended to navigate the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, he needed to have some understanding of it. After all, once he stepped out, he might have to interact with local cultivators or various immortal sects, and ignorance was not an option.
Coming out of the Scripture Pavilion, Carson Flores set up cooking utensils in front of his living quarters and personally cooked a meal, inviting Halvion Ward and the others to join him for dinner.
"Tomorrow, I plan to set out to find the Leap Void Beast. All of you have helped me a lot, and though I have no way to fully repay you, I’ve prepared a simple meal to express my gratitude."
Kaelithra Nixon’s eyes lit up upon seeing the food Carson Flores had prepared, "Smells so good! It looks delicious!"
Halvion Ward walked over to Carson Flores’s specially crafted kitchenware with interest and smiled, "Not bad; the quality of this pot can be considered a Spiritual Treasure."
Carson Flores laughed, "If it were made of Mortal Iron, some ingredients might not cook even if the pot were turned to molten iron. To enjoy good food, one must have suitable kitchenware. Though I haven’t visited Brother Ward’s kitchen, I imagine it’s only better than mine, not worse..."
