James explained his intentions to Thea. Upon hearing his explanation, Thea was slightly displeased. However, she did not refuse outright. Instead, she said, “Sure, go ahead.”Thomas once told her that only Cynthia could cultivate the martial art manual concealed in the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge with James. That was because she was born with a Yin body. Meanwhile, cultivating the 18-meridian diagram required the fusion of Yin and Yang. “Mhm.” James hung up the phone and headed to Cynthia’s house using the Callahans’ car.At Cynthia’s house… A group of people was happily chatting away. “Master, cheers!” Holding a glass of wine in her hand, Cynthia stood up. Callan took the glass of wine.At that moment, the doorbell rang.Cynthia asked puzzledly, “Who could it be on New Year’s Day?”She pressed a switch on the controller and switched on the TV. The surveillance footage appeared on the TV. Seeing that it was James, everyone got excited.Before Cynthia could s
The 18-meridian diagram consisted of a total of nine poses. Some were bizarre, while others were rather flirtatious. Cynthia nestled in James’ embrace. James placed his hands behind his back, while Cynthia hugged him and grabbed his hands. James concentrated to clear his mind of any impure thoughts. Then, he began catalyzing True Energy. After their Yin and Yang merged, the True Energy underwent a profound transformation. Its effects were dampened and had little impact on James’ body. Besides, this True Energy had the ability to restore and strengthen the meridians.Soon, the session was over. The two stopped. Blushing, Cynthia said, “I-I feel that my True Energy has become stronger.”James, who was feeling a warm, snuggy sensation throughout his body, said, “These poses are strange but also mysterious. They have the ability to heal my injuries. Judging by the speed of recuperation, I should be able to restore my strength in around fifteen days.” A fortnight was not consi
James and Cynthia were busy cultivating the whole afternoon. After an afternoon’s worth of practice, they had become increasingly familiar with the routine.As the circulation of True Energy produced heat, both of them were completely drenched in sweat. Hence, Cynthia removed her clothes, wearing only a thin undergarment.Although she was young, her figure was curvaceous. Her features were also fine and delicate.At that moment, the door opened. Thea walked in. Upon seeing James and Cynthia hugging each other, she froze.James could sense another presence in the room. Upon noticing Thea by the door, he panicked, which caused his True Energy to disperse. The sudden dispersion of True Energy interrupted the cultivation, and Cynthia and he immediately vomited a mouthful of blood. “Wh-What are you…!” Upon seeing how intimate the two were and the tight undergarments Cynthia was wearing, Thea was enraged. However, her expression remained composed. Walking in, she glanced at the
There were many analyses of ancient scripts on the internet. Not only that, but there were also many experts on ancient scripts who would work to decipher the meaning of an ancient script if given payment. Despite researching for so long, Thea had only managed to decipher a few words. She then found an expert on ancient scripts to help decipher the meaning of the ancient script. She found out that she was looking at things in the wrong order and messing everything up. With the help of an expert, progress was much swifter. However, as this concerned her future cultivation, she could not totally believe in the deciphering of a single expert. Hence, she reached out to several more experts to help her out. Then, she compared their findings. After realizing that the results matched, she breathed a sigh of relief. By the time she finished deciphering everything, it was already the next day. Thea found an excuse to head outside. Then, she drove to a desolate suburb and entered a m
Thea’s strength was now greatly boosted. She believed that James’ True Energy should have been restored by now. If everything went as planned, James would leave Cansington and head to the Capital tomorrow. “I’ll go look for James.” Thea did not linger for long. She simply turned to leave the villa and drove to Cynthia’s house. At Cynthia’s house… All this while, James had been cultivating with Cynthia. After two weeks’ worth of cultivation, his body had begun recuperating with the help of the nourishment from the fusion of Yin and Yang True Energy. His meridians had been strengthened, and he would no longer be afraid of the impact of True Energy. Meanwhile, his strength had slowly returned to its peak. In the room… The two were doing some strange postures. Two different cultivation methods and True Energy combined the two into a collective. With James’ help, Cynthia’s True Energy had also grown by leaps and bounds. In a short amount of time, she had crossed into the thi
Finally, James regained his strength. He did not have to stay by Cynthia’s side any longer. “Darling, when are we going to the Capital?” Thea asked smilingly. She did not wish to remain in Cansington because many women there had an intimate relationship with James. She wanted to leave with James to a faraway place, away from those pesky women. “There’s no need to rush things.” James waved slightly and said, “Although I’ve restored my strength, I’m still a seventh-rank grandmaster. There are many eighth-rank grandmasters within Sol. Now that they have obtained the Spirit Turtle’s core, their strength will reach even greater heights once they finish absorbing it. I’m not confident that I can defeat them.” James would have to return to the Capital. After all, there were many things for him to deal with. The head of the Tucksons was captured and imprisoned in a dungeon. Back then, James tried making a move on the Tucksons to lure out the ones affiliated with them. That way, he
James continued, “There’s only one way to restore your strength. We have to use powerful energy to restore your vitality. Once you regain your vitality, your organs will heal naturally. Then, the True Energy hidden throughout your body can be reawakened. Once you reawaken your True Energy, it shouldn’t be too difficult to regain your strength.” Looking at James, Callan asked, “What idea do you have in mind? Are you thinking about those magical needles of yours?” James nodded. “Yes, let’s begin.” “Sure.” Callan nodded. Crucifier, which was wrapped around James’ arm, fell. Holding Crucifier in hand, James began providing Callan acupuncture treatment. James catalyzed True Energy, which flowed into Crucifier. Then, he began inserting the needles into Callan’s body. When the first needle was inserted, Callan could feel a warm sensation enveloping his body. It was a pleasant experience. James kept inserting more needles. With the True Energy he had, he could easily perform all ei
”I have restored thirty percent of my strength.” Callan said, “The main battlefield shouldn’t be in the Capital. The Capital is merely Lucjan’s battlefield. He must have obtained a core. Six months have passed, and he may have refined it. If he did, his strength must have reached even greater heights. I’ll return to the Capital for now. Meanwhile, you should remain in Cansington to refine the core.” Though he had only regained thirty percent of his strength, this was power unrivaled even among top-notch grandmasters. “Sure.” James nodded. He would be at ease if Callan returned to the Capital. “That traitorous Lucjan…” Callan’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “I was the one who saved his life. If not for me, he would have perished in the battle of the Gu Sect. I didn’t expect him to resort to underhanded tactics and ambushed me. However, he underestimated me. Or else, I really would have died in his hands.” James looked at him and asked, “What do you plan to do after return
The sky was a brilliant blue, accented by white clouds. Vast plains stretched out with rolling peaks, rivers, and seas crisscrossing the expansive land, while an aura of Spiritual Energy permeated everything. This was a new world, brimming with life and vitality, existing independently from the myriad realms.Countless cultivation resources awaited discovery here. Unending adventures beckoned the brave, and limitless opportunities awaited those with exceptional talent.This was the new world James had created, based on the Forty-Nine Daoisms and merged with his own Daoism, to resolve the Leere Tribulation and save countless beings across the myriad realms.In this world, there was no powerful Heavenly Path, no hierarchy of races, no strict rules or oppressions, and no fate governing everything. Instead, actions were judged by karma. Fortune and misfortune, as well as success and failure, were determined by karma.Though it adhered to the principle of survival of the fittest and res
“No wonder,” Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yin’s Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, had abruptly ordered him to move all foundations out of the Dark World. In hindsight, everything now made sense. It was likely that Jacopo had foreseen all of this.Realizing this, Lord Goyo felt a chill run down his spine as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Despite doubting Jacopo’s identity as an incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, he had followed his advice. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.Snapping back to reality, Lord Goyo looked down at the Yang governor and Gladwin from his elevated position.“You fool, do you realize your mistake?”The Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.“Lord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.”“Lord Goyo, there is something fishy about this. If James has
At the peak of Mount One in the myriad realms, the Yang Governor, disguised as James, descended with Gladwin. Both looked deathly pale, as if they had just escaped a life-threatening disaster. They were filled with panic.They stopped simultaneously upon arriving beneath a massive platform in a grand dojo.“We need to sort this out first,” the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. “Who's going to explain this later, you or me?”Gladwin swallowed nervously. “Of course, it should be you.”“Why should it be me?” the Yang Governor scoffed. “Haven't you always claimed to be Lord Goyo's top confidant and meddled in our alliance's affairs? Now you're chickening out when there's a major issue?”Gladwin's face twitched. “This has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.”The Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. “You've always been the one gathering intelligence across the myriad realms, boasting that you're better than Yegor from Skyn
That was the first thing he asked after surviving a monumental battle. James patted his shoulder. "The twenty thousand men…" "As long as it's broken," Wyot interjected, staring into the emptiness. "It's a pity the Dark World is gone forever."James wanted to respond, but the other survivors gathered around them. After the battle and the aid of the path source, they had ascended to Path Emperors, becoming top powerhouses in the myriad realms.James nodded, then waved his hand, summoning a path pearl that gleamed with holy light. The light and aura it radiated were enough to make any living being kneel before it.Just as James was about to act, Wyot knelt on one knee, followed by his warriors.James frowned. "Wyot, brothers, you have the right to stand…""We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!" Wyot declared loudly, clasping his fists. His warriors did the same."We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!"Their voices were unified, echo
Then, the Formation of Perception shook violently. When he snapped out of it, he realized that the twenty thousand Doom Race warriors led by Xezal had almost all perished.Among the remaining ones, three were losing their bodies. Hastily, James tossed three path sources into the formation, but it did not stop their bodies from crumbling."Move them out, quickly," urged Zella. "They're under immense pressure inside."James waved his hand and broke the Formation of Perception.Xezal and his remaining warriors—just three of them—appeared in the void. They were tattered and covered in blood. Their hair was unkempt, and they were barely recognizable. These were heroes who had experienced hell.Though wobbling, they stood in battle stances. Their valiance and undying will moved James. He turned his hand and covered them with four path sources, then told them to sit and heal."That's the Doom Race for you. The fact that they survived this titanic battle says a lot about their talent," Z
"Fourth, I have left some treasures for the Yaneiri Clan. They should be enough to establish yourselves in the new world. Fifth, do not be Deified. Never, ever do that. You must keep the Yaneiri Clan safe."Wynton's body contorted, plunging him into further pain. Cracks spread across his skin. "You owe me, James! You owe my clan!" he roared for the last time in his life before crumbling into dust.The light strips that imprisoned him shattered as well, and purple flames lunged at James' light wall, the shockwaves splintering it into fragments before rampaging toward the inconsolable Zella.James flew to Zella, scooped her up, and they took off. The shockwaves from Wynton's self-destruction rapidly spread, obliterating the surrounding formations.But that wasn't the end. Once freed, the shockwave rippled across the Dark World, annihilating everything in its path. Countless universes met their demise.Meanwhile, James protected the remaining Doom Race warriors within the formation,
Wynton was hysterical, but James merely shrugged. “Wynton, they say the last act people do before they die is to be kind. I see none of that in you, and you lost to me.”“And so what?” Wynton roared. “You’re just luckier than me, James! You have a Yin governor as your wife, and she has your back all the time! You would never have come this far otherwise!”James smiled. “Keep going.”“I know you don’t want to owe me any favors.” Wynton glared at him angrily. “You gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.“Now, I’ve given you your children’s past selves back, and you owe me once more. You’re waiting for my terms, aren’t you?”James looked resigned.“Wrong,” Wynton sneered. “I won’t ask for any promises, nor will I give you any chance to repay this debt. Now, you shall owe me a favor you can never repay!”James sensed something was wrong and was shocked. “Wynton!”Wynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare
"That’s…" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-You’re working with the Shadowborns?""Will you give it to me?" James shot him a threatening look.Wynton shivered, taking a deep breath. Then, a flash of purple light burst forth, and a brilliantly shining mirror flew out from the top of his head.James released Wynton and grabbed the mirror. It resonated with the token, and both items shone blindingly, responding to each other.'It’s true,' James thought. 'The Shadowborn token the master gave me before he left can sense the Nothingness Path Mirror. But why?' Questions swirled in his mind."That mirror will do nothing for you," Wynton said. "I can’t control it, so you can’t either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And she’s cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wife’s half-self, finding Wuia’s current and future selves will be a nigh impossible task."James tucked the mirr
James remained silent. He couldn't muster a response. Now, he finally understood why the Leere Tribulation had been orchestrated and the role his wife played in it.He had initially thought that by destroying the past version of Wuia concealed within the River of Time, he could hurt Wuia. Even if he couldn't stop the Leere Tribulation, he could at least delay it.With more time, he planned to gather additional clues and eradicate all three versions of Wuia, permanently solving the problem. However, his conversation with Wynton had changed his plans.Wynton observed James standing in silence and smirked. "Of course, there's a way to do this."James furrowed his brow.Wynton, brimming with glee, continued, "Kill your wife and the Light Heavenly Path. If they vanish entirely, Wuia will never obtain the Void Spiral. Even if the Leere Tribulation materializes and he returns, his strength will be no greater than before his reincarnation. You'll have enough power to fight him."That was
