Chapter 3013: A Ray of Hope Amid Darkness?

"As long as we win, that’s what matters."

Iskryn laughed heartily. "If we go all out in a battle and still can’t win, can’t even establish any advantage, then things will really get troublesome."

Carson Flores shut his mouth and stopped giving his opinion.

Others showing him respect was their business; he also had to know his own weight.

The people sitting in this room were either Quasi-Saints, or the heads of Book Sea Pavilion and other top-tier powers. They weren’t just the upper echelon of the entire Bitter Sea Immortal Domain—within the whole Immortal Realm, they were top-level elites.

After sitting for a while and talking things through, the meeting adjourned.

True Sage Grand Void rose to his feet. "Carson Flores, come with me."

Carson Flores followed True Sage Grand Void out of the great hall and into a nearby tent.

"Sit wherever you like."

True Sage Grand Void’s tone was relaxed as he casually laid down a Concealment Spell. "There are plenty of people and ears in the military camp. Better to be cautious when speaking and acting."

Those words were aimed at Halvion Ward and Kaelithra Nixon; both nodded, indicating they understood.

True Sage Grand Void smiled. "In just a few decades you’ve grown to this level. You really astonish me; the one who misjudged you isn’t just Master of Path alone..."

The Thousand Demon Monarch had just taken advantage of everyone being present to recount the incident of bumping into Master of Path making trouble for Carson Flores. Everyone voiced support for Carson Flores, telling him not to be afraid, to call on them if anything happened—they’d cover him!

Carson Flores smiled. "Along the way I’ve met many benefactors. Otherwise, with just this bit of talent and this bit of strength, I would’ve died who knows how many times by now."

True Sage Grand Void flipped his hand, and The Mirror of Elemental Harmony appeared and flew straight toward Carson Flores.

"I’ve finished borrowing The Mirror of Elemental Harmony. Now it’s returning to its rightful owner."

Carson Flores caught it and asked, "Did it help you, senior?"

Previously, the Sea God had wanted to kill Carson Flores. True Sage Grand Void crossed the void in one stride and killed the Sea God with a single move. Using the Sea God’s Seal as the price, he borrowed The Mirror of Elemental Harmony, saying he needed it for a certain place.

True Sage Grand Void smiled. "Naturally it helped—a great deal. Otherwise things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly."

Carson Flores smiled. "Then that’s good. But up to now, I haven’t found even the slightest clue about any spell to control The Mirror of Elemental Harmony..."

Carson Flores hadn’t actually searched at all. He’d been rushing along the road the whole time; once he arrived here, he was either cultivating or fighting, constantly racing against time. Where would he find the time to run around investigating control spells?

What’s more, The Mirror of Elemental Harmony might be entangled with the Ethereal Pagoda feud. Carson Flores didn’t dare casually ask around. After all, while his strength was decent now, the matters tied to the Ethereal Pagoda might be huge; he didn’t dare act rashly.

Carson Flores had originally planned to take advantage of these two years of Immortal Demon War to rack up more military merits, push his cultivation, and become a Quasi-Saint himself. Then he’d have the strength to pursue the investigation.

Thyris Lucerne had mentioned two people to Carson Flores, who might be the breakthrough point in this matter—but those two were also Quasi-Saints!

If Carson Flores went knocking on their door to investigate, he might just be exposing himself, like a lamb entering a tiger’s den.

Even Delarosa had advised Carson Flores of her own accord. She’d already waited for so long; she didn’t mind waiting a bit more. Besides, with Carson Flores’s strength as it was now, could he really be that far from Quasi-Saint?

True Sage Grand Void laughed. "You haven’t managed to dig anything up, and neither have I. According to our agreement, the item still temporarily belongs to you."

Carson Flores gave a wry smile. "Senior, your strength reaches the heavens, and you possess mighty Space Traverse abilities, yet you still couldn’t find anything—how could I possibly find it?"

True Sage Grand Void’s expression turned wistful; he sighed. "I truly did investigate carefully, but all I could confirm was that he really is dead—dead cleanly and thoroughly. Yet I never found his corpse. So hoping to obtain the control spell from him is basically impossible."

Carson Flores said regretfully, "They say The Mirror of Elemental Harmony can connect Harmony, snatch away a life in an instant, and is hard to withstand even for a Great Land Prime Immortal. A magical treasure this powerful, and now it’s like a pearl covered in dust, no longer able to unleash its original might, degraded to just manipulating the Water and Fire Realm—it really is a bit of a pity."

True Sage Grand Void smiled faintly. "In the course of my investigation, I discovered something interesting..."

Carson Flores looked at True Sage Grand Void in puzzlement. Could there be some twist?

True Sage Grand Void replied, "The owner of The Mirror of Elemental Harmony—my friend—had a woman. She once, in front of outsiders, used The Mirror of Elemental Harmony. Only that one time, but I’ve verified it, and it’s true."

Carson Flores’s eyes immediately lit up. "Since she has wielded The Mirror of Elemental Harmony, doesn’t that mean she knows the spell to control it? If we can find her..."

"Yes."

True Sage Grand Void smiled. "If we can find her, there’s a high chance we can learn the control spell for The Mirror of Elemental Harmony."

Carson Flores blinked. "There’s a difficulty? You can’t find her?"

True Sage Grand Void’s expression turned subtle. "I did search for her, and later discovered that she took part in the twenty-first Immortal Demon War. At the time, the War God Mansion sent a squad to use the chaos to slip through the Immortal Demon Passage and scout the enemy situation—she was among them..."
