Chapter 2721: The Older the Ginger, the Spicier
"Boom!"
Carson Flores opened his eyes, the air around him silently exploded. His eyes had actually turned into yellow vertical pupils like a Giant Sand Demon Snake’s, exuding a cold, eerie aura.
Behind Carson Flores, a gigantic Giant Sand Demon Snake Dharma Manifestation coiled like a Demon God at his back, as if it were his guardian god.
Sand Dragon Illusion God Technique, accomplished!
In Carson Flores’s Sea of Consciousness, a piece of earth-yellow crystal had already formed. Just like the other Wood, Fire, and Water Path Crystals, each occupied its own side, facing one another from afar.
Of the Five Elements Crystal, four are complete!
Carson Flores withdrew his Domain, the yellow vertical pupils instantly returned to normal shape. The Giant Sand Demon Snake phantom behind him rapidly faded, and finally vanished completely.
Carson Flores glanced at Samir Coffey beside him. Without the assistance of Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Art, his comprehension progress was clearly not as fast as Carson Flores’s, but judging by his aura changes, he was obviously walking the right path as well.
Carson Flores quietly closed his eyes, calmly waiting.
Time flashed by; another half month passed.
With the sound of air shattering, a Giant Sand Demon Snake Dharma Manifestation appeared behind Samir Coffey, and his eyes turned into serpent pupils.
Carson Flores looked over curiously, and in an instant felt a wave of dizziness. He was about to be pulled into an Illusionary Realm, and hurriedly circulated the Sand Dragon Illusion God Technique, only then quickly shaking off the vertigo and regaining clarity.
What happens when the Sand Dragon Illusion God Technique runs into the Sand Dragon Illusion God Technique?
Carson Flores instinctively circulated the Cultivation Technique; in a flash his eyes turned into serpent pupils, and the Giant Sand Demon Snake Dharma Manifestation appeared behind him.
Carson Flores and Samir Coffey both let out a muffled groan at the same time, their vision went black, and they felt a kind of weakness as if their souls were about to fly away.
The two withdrew their Dharma Manifestations simultaneously. Samir Coffey reached out and wiped his face. "Feels like I just got whacked in the head with a stick..."
Carson Flores nodded. "Pretty much the same for me. I’d guess it’s because our strengths are similar, so the effects when we use it are also similar, and it ended up as a mutual clash that canceled out. If we faced Sect Master Parrish, I’m afraid it wouldn’t turn out like this."
Samir Coffey laughed. "Naturally. All Divine Skills are related to the Domain. The stronger your power, the stronger your Domain, only then will your Divine Skills be stronger."
He paused, then asked curiously, "You already comprehended it half a month ago?"
Carson Flores nodded. "Yes."
Samir Coffey clicked his tongue in wonder. "Wasn’t your talent supposed to be average? How’d you comprehend it so fast?"
Carson Flores laughed. "Dragon Mountain Sect’s Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Art can help with comprehending Cultivation Techniques."
Samir Coffey suddenly understood. "So you’ve got the strengths of several sects on you. No wonder."
Carson Flores asked, "What do we do next?"
Samir Coffey answered easily, "We return the Cultivation Technique and map to the Sect Master, then I’ll ask for leave, we’ll leave together, find a place to complete Soul Separation, and then decide what to do based on the situation."
Carson Flores asked, "On the Illusory Snake Sect side, how are you going to explain?"
Samir Coffey smacked his lips. "I’ve taken over Kaethor Jandric’s body; I definitely can’t stay here. Otherwise I’ll only bring trouble to the sect. Of course, I came here with a purpose from the start, I never planned to stay in the Illusory Snake Sect for a lifetime. I’ll send the Sect Master a letter later to explain it clearly. After all, this matter involves you; you’ve done a great favor for the Illusory Snake Sect. He should be able to accept it in the end."
Carson Flores thought it over; there really wasn’t any better way.
"Alright, we’ll do it like that!"
The two left the Formation and went to the place where Garlan Parrish was resting and healing.
"You’ve both completed the cultivation?"
Carson Flores and Samir Coffey nodded together. Garlan Parrish’s expression instantly turned gratified. "Good. For thousands of years after me, no one was able to successfully cultivate it. I was starting to think there was a problem with the map and it couldn’t be cultivated anymore. Now first Eolan, and then you two—this proves the Sand Dragon Illusion God Technique isn’t impossible to cultivate; we just hadn’t met the right people!"
Garlan Parrish’s gaze fell on Carson Flores. "Fellow Flores, you should be leaving now, right?"
Carson Flores nodded. "Yes. Not only am I leaving, I also need to ask Samir Coffey to help me with something that requires him to leave with me. I ask Sect Master Parrish to grant permission."
Garlan Parrish’s gaze fell on Samir Coffey. "Now that you’ve learned the Sand Dragon Illusion God Technique, after you leave, will you still come back?"
Samir Coffey’s heart tightened. Just as he was about to explain, Garlan Parrish smiled faintly. "I’ve lived for so long; I’m rarely wrong about people. When you first joined my Illusory Snake Sect, you came for the Sand Dragon Illusion God Technique—that was your sole purpose."
"Originally, I thought that if you stayed in the sect a while longer, you’d develop more feelings for it. But Fellow Flores’s arrival sped up this process and let you learn the Sand Dragon Illusion God Technique now..."
Samir Coffey had been hit right in his sore spot, and had no way to refute. He could only bow in salute, saying nothing.
Carson Flores sighed inwardly. The older the ginger, the spicier it is—none of these big shots are simple!
Carson Flores spoke up to help. "Since Samir Coffey has joined the Illusory Snake Sect and learned the Sand Dragon Illusion God Technique, no matter where he goes, even if he later joins other Immortal Sects, as long as he doesn’t withdraw from the Illusory Snake Sect, he will always be a Disciple of the Illusory Snake Sect!"
Having said this much, Carson Flores didn’t hide anything else and said frankly, "The favor I’m asking of Samir Coffey is somewhat special, and I can’t explain it clearly right now. Once the matter is completed, I’ll give Sect Master Parrish a complete explanation. When the time comes, Sect Master will understand."
Garlan Parrish nodded slightly. "Very well. As long as you still consider yourself a Disciple of the Illusory Snake Sect, that’s enough!"
