Chapter 1549

Author: Crazy Carriage
James ascended the first few steps of the Skyward Stairway with relative ease.

However, he started having a challenging time upon reaching the fourth step.

It felt like a mountain was tied to his feet.

“Move!!!” James shouted in defiance.

He lifted his leg abruptly and went past the fourth step.

After climbing the Fourth Stair, he was sweating profusely.

Sweat had soaked his whole body and seeped into his clothes.

After climbing the fourth step, he proceeded carefully. He collected himself and allowed his True Energy to spread throughout his body to resist the pressure brought on by the fourth step.

While James was ascending the Skyward Stairway, anyone passing by would simply see him sitting in a lotus position on the ground like an unmoving statue.

The Skyward Stairway was imaginary and did not exist in reality.

The ascension of the Skyward Stairway happened within one’s mind.

He was the only one that perceived himself ascending the stairway. Others could not see it at all

    One day later…A man slowly walked out of Capital Airport. He was dressed in ordinary and humble clothes, looking no different from a typical farmer.That man’s appearance was completely different from those around him.The man was James.James rushed directly to the Capital after mastering the True Nine Ordeals Energy.Half a month had passed since the battle in Malgudi.Although he met his grandfather, Thomas had never mentioned anything about the aftermath at Malguldi.After he passed out, he had no idea what had taken place there while he was away.He was clueless about the current situation in the Capital.Since he was anxious, he rushed back to the Capital without a minute to spare after recovering his strength.He hailed a taxi outside the airport.“Sun Dragon District, please.”The driver gave James a once over and noticed that his attire did not suggest that he was well off.The Sun Dragon District was full of courtyard houses, and it was populated by the wealthy.

    “You’ve wasted so much of my time, f*cker. I’m not going to let you leave without paying me three hundred dollars first.”The driver was getting impatient.At that moment, he started getting sick of arguing with James and was tempted to simply let him go.However, the thought of having wasted so much time dealing with James and not getting any money out of it vexed him.So, he decided to teach James a lesson.He pulled out his phone and made a call.After a few minutes, a dozen taxis came and surrounded the car. Dozens of people got out of their vehicles.“Hey, man. I’m giving you one last chance. Give me the f*ckin’ money right now, or else…”James did not take the driver’s threats seriously.He looked at the time. Henry should be arriving soon.Sure enough, military vehicles appeared from the distance at that moment and were driving closer to them.When the military vehicles got close to the airport entrance, a man wearing a Red Flame robe with three stars on his shoulder

    James soon arrived at the gate of the Cadens’ mansion.The guards at the gate saw the military vehicles and immediately approached them.As they were walking over, James had already gotten out of the car.“J-James…”The guard addressed him nervously.James’ appearance caused both guards to lose their composure.James asked bluntly, “Is Maxine home?”“Y-yes, she's home…”Before the guard could finish speaking, James had already barged into the Cadens’ mansion.Right then, Maxine was speaking with Zaiden, the head of the Sullivans, in the living room.“Mr. Sullivan, I’ve spoken about this at length. You should reconsider.”As Maxine said that, James walked into the living room.Seeing James, Maxine immediately stood up and gasped, “J-James.”James glanced at Zaiden, who was sitting on the couch and spoke in a steely tone. “This doesn’t concern you. You can leave for now.”Zaiden looked quietly at James. Then, he simply stood up and left.“J-James. You’re back?”James look

    He had suspected that it was either Thea or Thomas all along.However, he had no conclusive evidence.It never occurred to him that Celestial Sect’s leader would really be his wife, Thea, the woman who had endured so much suffering in the past.“By the way, you said that Thea sent a letter of challenge to Tobias?”“Yeah.”“News of it has already spread in the ancient martial world. What’s going on? Weren’t you with Thea?” said Maxine.“There were some unexpected circumstances.”James briefly explained what had happened while he was recovering.“Grandpa felt that the Spirit Turtle’s blood in Thea’s body showed great promise. He wanted to force Thea to experience an Energy Deviation so that she’d fully utilize the Spirit Turtle’s blood. Has anything major happened in the ancient martial world since then? Do you know if there has been any internal discord within Celestial Sect?”Before Maxine could explain, Bennett interrupted their conversation and said, “Nothing has happened. T

    For half a month, Thea’s True Energy had been increasing as the days passed.She had already ascended the Skyward Stairway’s Fourth Stair.She managed to almost completely assimilate the power from the Spirit Turtle’s blood.However, she had not reached her full potential yet.There was still some remaining energy within the Spirit Turtle’s blood.Thea was in a closed-door meditation.During this period, a piece of information had become the new hot topic in the ancient martial world.“The latest news is that Celestial Sect’s leader is actually Thea.”“What?! Thea?”“Who’s Thea?”“She’s James’ wife. She used to be known as the ugliest woman in Cansington. The woman that saved James from the fire that claimed his family.”“No way. How could it be that same Thea? What kind of joke is this?”It was unknown who had spread the news.However, every martial artist within Sol now knew that Thea was the Celestial Sect’s leader.Meanwhile, James had arrived in the Southern Plains M

    Swoosh!All of a sudden, a figure flew up the cliff.The person landed firmly on the ground.“Master,”Tapio immediately stood up and addressed him respectfully.The person that flew up the cliff was a youthful-looking man, probably around his 30s.He had long hair and was dressed in a white robe. The man had a calm demeanor as he crossed his hands behind his back.“What’s the situation?” he inquired.“Master, Celestial Sect’s leader, has challenged Tobias to a duel at Mt. Thunder Pass. In the past few days, news had spread that Celestial Sect’s leader is actually James’ wife, Thea.”“Celestial Sect’s leader is Thea?”Upon hearing this news, the man in his 30s was surprised.During this period, he also tried to investigate the identity of the Celestial Sect’s leader but to no avail.After composing himself, he asked, “Who spread the news?”Tapio replied, “I’m not sure. By the way, according to reliable sources, James appeared in the Capital. After he visited the Cadens’ ma

    James had never seen this person before nor heard of his name.However, it seemed this person named Tyrus had known him for a long time.James looked at the man before him with flinty eyes This man was extremely strong and was on par with him in terms of cultivation base.He had ascended the Fifth Stair's peak and was on the verge of entering the Sixth Stair. He had assumed he was the strongest in the world, but all of a sudden, this man shows up and demonstrated strength that was at least equal to his.The world was indeed full of hidden masters.It proved that as one climbed higher, one would also come into contact with similarly remarkable people.“Who exactly are you, Tyrus?” James questioned him with narrowed eyes.However, Tyrus did not answer his question. He simply stared at James, shocked that James’ strength had exceeded his expectations.He practically watched James grow up.Ever since James was drafted into the Southern Plains ten years ago, he had secretly watch

    James had no words to dispute his statement.It was not that his martial art comprehension was poor, but that his opponent was too powerful.What kind of martial arts was he practicing?He had never seen or heard of this technique before.“What…What kind of martial art technique is that?” James stared at Tyrus incredulously.“It’s not an advanced martial art technique. I simply flicked my finger. You’ll only be able to use this to your advantage when you truly comprehend the way of martial arts. Your True Energy is the core of your strength, and maximizing the power of your True Energy is the real essence of martial arts,” explained Tyrus.It sounded like he was boasting about his own skills but it also seemed to be a lesson meant for James.He spoke literally and his words were simple enough to understand.However, it was difficult to grasp from a martial artist’s perspective.“We’ll meet again.”Tyrus left the conversation there and began to move away.“Take this!!!”Jame

    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
