Chapter 1770: Chapter 1770: A Man’s Desire to Conquer
"Sit in the center of the formation, cultivate as usual, there will be various illusions appearing, remain focused and don’t be swayed by the illusions, leave the rest; breaking through is merely a matter of time."
Deep in the valley, a gigantic jade disc is placed, engraved with various complex formation patterns. Spirit Stones are embedded densely within the formation, and in a large groove at the north of the jade disc, is inlaid a stone unlike any other.
This stone resembles mutton-fat jade, yet it shimmers with a dazzling array of colors, casting a seductive glow under the light.
"Alright, thank you, Mountain Lord."
Carson Flores sat within the formation, and soon the formation activated, a blanket of white light completely covering him.
Carson Flores sat cross-legged in the formation, with everything around him entirely blocked out, leaving only himself in the world.
He calmed his thoughts and began cultivating.
Soon, he keenly sensed a special substance being absorbed into his body, converging into his Sea of Consciousness, which began to ripple, having been previously expanded to its limit.
Simultaneously, lights started to flicker before Carson, signaling the onset of illusions.
Carson was prepared, holding Heaven-reaching Lotus Seeds in his mouth, which sent cool sensations that kept his mind clear.
Even with continuous illusions, Carson maintained his spiritual wisdom, as if watching a movie in a cinema and not truly being in the illusionary realm, losing himself.
Within these numerous illusionary realms, Carson began to comprehend and search for the opportunity to break through his bottleneck.
Outside the formation, the Mountain Lord of Ten Thousand Snakes and the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas stood side by side.
"This young man seems to have some perseverance, staying in the illusionary realm without wavering, continuously maintaining his mind."
The Mountain Lord praised, then turned around and asked, "Why not easily kill such a mere Earth Immortal, why spend so many resources on him?"
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas replied calmly: "I keep my word, if he hadn’t endangered his life to find the Fire Night Dragon Herb for me, my injuries would have worsened, and I’d be either dead or disabled; this is what he deserves."
The Mountain Lord shrugged, laughing: "Alright, it’s your favor, so you have the final say."
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas asked, "How long will it take him to advance?"
The Mountain Lord answered, "About three to five days; depending on his insight and steadiness of mind, advancing shouldn’t be a problem, nothing unexpected should occur."
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas acknowledged, then inquired: "What have you been busy with lately?"
The Mountain Lord laughed: "Unable to break past that bottleneck, I’ve given up; doing other things instead, seeing if I can exchange for a Nine Revolutions Great Land Pill from the sect later."
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas frowned: "With an unstable Dao heart, lacking sufficient realm, even with the Nine Revolutions Great Land Pill, everything would turn to ashes under the Heavenly Thunder!"
The Mountain Lord laughed heartily, confidently: "There’s still time, no rush, though not as perfect in realm as you, I’m not far off."
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas turned back and asked: "Are you now raising him from the start?"
The Mountain Lord smiled: "Yes, I just do what I like to do, and I earn merits, why not?"
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas made no comment, only maintaining silence.
The Mountain Lord looked at the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, asking: "Now that your Southern Alliance is basically annihilated, what about you, what do you plan to do, won’t you go see him?"
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas frowned slightly, with a hint of complexity in his gaze: "I’ve said, I am merely holding a nominal title, how the Southern Alliance fares is not within my responsibility; it’s Charles Roth who needs to see him, not me."
The Mountain Lord chuckled: "I understand your thoughts, but I also know his. With such a huge problem in your Southern Alliance, do you think he would neither care nor contact you?"
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas showed rare anger in his eyes: "He’s a madman, I don’t want to deal with him, he has plenty of women around him, yet he keeps his eyes on me, madman!"
The Mountain Lord laughed heartily: "No amount of gold can buy willingness; everyone knows he likes you..."
"Hmph!"
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas sneered coldly: "He likes me? I think he doesn’t like me; he’s just unwilling to accept it. He believes he has everything, but can’t have me, so he’s unwilling to resign; men, haha, you’re a man too, don’t you understand?"
The Mountain Lord, slightly embarrassed by the words of the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, instinctively rubbed his nose: "Yes, I understand, conquest."
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas sneered coldly: "Right, men’s attitude towards women is just conquest; maybe he doesn’t like me much either, but because I rejected him, hurting his pride, he turned conquering me and making me submit to him into his life’s goal."
"Men, ha, aren’t they all so boring; no matter how strong, no matter how powerful, when facing women, they will all show an extremely childish behavior..."
The Mountain Lord smiled bitterly: "I can’t comment on this; after all, it’s between the two of you. So, what about you now, with such a major incident in the collapse of the Southern Alliance, won’t you return to headquarters to report?"
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas snorted coldly: "Report what, I never intended to take that post, have Charles Roth report, I don’t care..."
