Chapter 1787: Chapter 1787: What If I Want to Learn the Soul Separation Technique?
"Special Envoy Flores, our Spirit-Separation Sect has always remained hidden from the world. How did you find this place?"
Carson Flores smiled and said, "The Celestial Palace naturally has its own methods."
Elian Eaton, seeing Carson Flores unwilling to explain further, probed, "A Sect’s disciple just returned from shopping outside. Did you follow him here?"
Carson Flores shook his head, "Elder Eaton, how I came is not important, no need to inquire further."
Elian Eaton, with no other choice, asked, "Then, what is the purpose of Special Envoy Flores’ visit this time?"
Carson Flores smiled and replied, "Elder Eaton, there’s no need to worry. I’ve come to discuss a deal with the Spirit-Separation Sect."
Elian Eaton pursued further, "What kind of deal?"
Carson Flores glanced around and chuckled, "We’re on the Spirit-Separation Sect’s territory, surely there’s a cup of tea to be had?"
Elian Eaton hesitated for a moment, then turned to gesture, "Special Envoy Flores, please!"
Elian Eaton led the way deeper into the canyon, passing an inconspicuous cliff, he produced a token, and a golden light from the token melded into the cliff.
The cliff suddenly crumbled like mist, revealing a wide passage.
This cliff was not an actual object but an illusion array, blended among the vast cliffs, unnoticed even if one walked up to it, unless touched by hand, it was difficult to perceive it’s fake.
Following the passageway all the way down, traversing several thousand meters, the view suddenly opened up.
Before Carson Flores was a gigantic Underground City, with ample light in the cave, stone houses stood clustered, spreading over a vast area, which, in a glance, was indistinct from a city on the ground.
"What a magnificent underground city!"
Carson Flores exclaimed, "Judging by this scale, the number of Spirit-Separation Sect’s disciples must be substantial."
Elian Eaton replied, "It’s not many, everyone just likes to live more spaciously, so the houses appear numerous."
Carson Flores looked up at the multiple light sources overhead that resembled suns, curiously asking, "Since everything here is no different from the land, why doesn’t the Spirit-Separation Sect just live directly on the surface?"
Elian Eaton calmly replied, "Our Spirit-Separation Sect doesn’t like conflict; hiding underground is merely for peace. We have always strived to conceal our sect’s location; Special Envoy Flores, please keep it confidential."
Carson Flores smiled, "I’m not one to gossip, Elder Eaton, rest assured."
Elian Eaton led Carson Flores through the city, heading towards the largest palace in the center.
Carson Flores looked around, matching the surroundings with the description given by the man who escaped from here.
Soon, Carson Flores roughly understood the entire layout of the Underground City.
To the east is the Spirit-Separation Sect’s main hall, home to the Sect Master and many senior members, where everyday sect affairs are handled.
To the right of the main hall is the Spirit-Separation Sect’s experimental center, where large numbers of Spirit-Separation Sect experts conduct Divine Spirit research and produce Divine Spirit creatures. The left side is the Sect’s experts’ residential area.
Behind the residential area is the slave quarters, where they are trapped underground all day, driving the Great Formation for the Spirit-Separation Sect, ensuring the sect’s normal operations.
Carson Flores was brought into the main hall by Elian Eaton, where several men and women were already waiting.
Leading them, the middle-aged man courteously clasped his hands, "Sect Master Emerson Gross of the Spirit-Separation Sect welcomes Special Envoy Flores."
After exchanging pleasantries, Emerson Gross inquired, "Special Envoy Flores mentioned discussing a deal, what kind of deal is it?"
Carson Flores replied, "I’ve long heard that the Spirit-Separation Sect is adept in the art of Divine Spirit, the Soul Separation Technique is particularly marvelous. The Palace Master has a friend’s father whose body has been taken over, with his soul almost completely devoured..."
Carson Flores detailed the father’s situation and finally asked, "In such a case, can the Soul Separation Technique thoroughly separate the two into complete individuals?"
Emerson Gross nodded, "Separation is possible. The dominant soul, once separated, will be intact, but the soul that was invaded and consumed, only its Soul Mark remains. While it can be revived this way, to what extent depends on specific circumstances. Just hearing it like this, I dare not guarantee."
Carson Flores was not surprised, and said, "If I ask you to perform the separation of these two souls, what would the compensation be?"
Emerson Gross confirmed, "Is this what Special Envoy Flores came for?"
Carson Flores nodded, "Yes."
Emerson Gross replied, "As long as you bring the person here, and he’s willing to cooperate, we can help for free, but I must first say, we can help, but we dare not guarantee the result, after all the mysteries of Divine Spirit, we have some understanding, but dare not say we fully comprehend."
Carson Flores nodded in understanding, it’s like a doctor agreeing to perform surgery but not daring to guarantee a successful recovery, the same principle.
Carson Flores pondered, "What if I want to learn the Soul Separation Technique?"
Emerson Gross frowned, and slowly shook his head, "The Soul Separation Technique is our sect’s secret and cannot be passed down. Special Envoy Flores, I cannot agree to this request."
Emerson Gross’s refusal was not unexpected to Carson Flores, who calmly said, "Is there absolutely no room for negotiation, or is there, but the price is too high?"
