All the Callahans had eaten the delicious dragon meat.After consuming it, they felt like a fire was burning within their bodies.However, the fire did not burn them. It simply made them feel as if there was a warm current surging through their bodies. It was very comfortable.It made them feel as if they were ascending to heaven.Soon, dinner was over.James and Thea returned to their room on the third floor.Thea showered and walked out of the bathroom with a thin towel wrapped around her body. Her body was covered in injuries from the dragon’s claw. Fortunately, the wounds had already clotted.She wiped her hair with another towel as she walked over. Seeing James sitting on the bed in a daze, she could not help but ask, “What’s the matter, Honey? What are you thinking about?”James regained his senses.“It’s nothing. I was just wondering why the Prince of Orchid Mountain and the Omniscient Deity would give you qilin blood and phoenix blood. Also, I can’t seem to understand
The air in the morning was the freshest and purest.“Breathe and grow in capacity.”James started to ponder on the Heaven and Earth Art.He recited the cultivation method in his mind repeatedly.After witnessing the alternation of night and day just now, he realized many things.With the sudden realization, he thoroughly understood the Heaven and Earth Art.“I see. That’s how it is.”James' face lit up.The Heaven and Earth Art was no ordinary cultivation method. It surpassed his former understanding of martial arts.The so-called Heaven and Earth Art was a breathing method.It was important for one to breathe in the fresh morning air.Air could be said to be Spiritual Energy.It was heaven and earth’s Spiritual Energy.Fresh air was most abundant in the morning.James began to breathe according to the Heaven and Earth Art’s breathing method.Swoosh.With the fresh air entering his body, heaven and earth’s energy also permeated his body. His body felt an indescribable c
“Okay.” Omniscient Deity nodded and said gently, “Rise.”Sky stood up.He stood aside nervously.Sky remembered provoking a fight with James at the Jade Sect, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He would never have dared to act so arrogantly on Mount Jade if he had known the Omniscient Deity was his teacher.The Omniscient Deity remained silent.Sky was flustered.“Sir, please let me explain. On the island, the Prince of Orchid Mountain appeared, and I… I…”The Omniscient Deity waved his hand and said, “I know.”“Then, why have you come to see me?”Sky looked at the Omniscient Deity.He thought his teacher was here to scold him, but that did not seem to be the case. He was unable to read the Omniscient Deity’s intentions.“You’ve already ascended the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair and are one step away from becoming a ninth-ranked grandmaster. I’ve come to give you some advice and guidance to break into the ninth rank.”Hearing this, Sky was overjoyed. He knelt on the groun
James was startled and said frantically, “What are you doing, Thea?”Thea replied with a smile, “It’s useless to me. I already have the Four Holy Beasts’ blood in me. Plus, we’ve collected so much dragon blood. It’s good enough for me to consume some of the dragon blood. The Dragon Essense will be a waste on me.”Henry held the Dragon Essence in his hands and felt its warmth.He could not help asking, “Thea, what is this?”Before Thea could reply, James interjected. “This is an extraordinary treasure that martial artists worldwide risked their lives to obtain. Not long ago, powerful martial artists worldwide went through a lot of effort to kill the dragon and acquire the Dragon Essence.”“Is this the Dragon Essence?”Henry held up the cyan Dragon Essence in his hand with shock.James replied, “Mhm.”“No, this is too valuable for me to accept.” Henry immediately handed it back to Thea.“I can’t accept this, Thea.”Thea said, “Just take it. It’s really useless to me.”“James,
Thea disappeared after leaving a letter for her family.In the letter, she left a message about her wishes to wander the world with James.However, they had not left Cansington.After leaving the Callahans’ villa, they went to the House of Royals.James planned to retire and leave with Thea.However, Thea said that James still had too many unfinished businesses.She said he had not settled and made arrangements for the people around him.That included Quincy, Maxine, Tiara, and Cynthia.Thea was worried about these unsettled relationships.“I’ll give you a few days to deal with these things.”Thea gave James enough time to deal with his complicated relationships.James was troubled.Initially, he simply wanted to leave.“Thea, is this really necessary?”Thea replied with dissatisfaction, “Why not? I know their feelings for you. What would they think if you just left without a word? Do you really want to leave them with hope and let them wait the rest of their lives for yo
James apologized, stood up, and bowed his head.“I’m here to apologize for it.“I’m really sorry.“I’m unable to keep my promise to you.“I should’ve made it clear to you earlier, but I’ve delayed it until now because of so many unexpected things.”Tears kept rolling down Tiara’s cheeks.Tiara knew this day would come, but she still held on to some hope all this time.At that moment, she did not feel too much sadness but instead felt relieved.Tiara said with a smile, “You don’t have to feel guilty about it, James.”Although she was smiling, tears still rolled down her face.Even so, she tried her best to comfort James. She did not want James to feel guilty or be burdened by her.James heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that Tiara had accepted his words.“Thank you for the Dragon Essence.”Tiara knew James would feel bad and brood over it on his future martial art path if she did not accept it.“I’ve got something else to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”Tiara left with th
James caught a glimpse of the sadness that flashed in her eyes.However, he could only pretend not to notice anything.He stood up and said, “What do you want for lunch? It’s my treat.”Quincy took out her phone, checked the time, and said, “I’m afraid I don’t have the time to have lunch with you. I’ve already resigned from my position as the head of New Era Commerce. Xiomara is managing it right now. I’m currently working in Cansington and took a leave to meet up with you after getting your call. So, I’ll have to leave first.”She raised the dragon blood and said, “Thanks for the dragon blood. Bye.”After speaking, she turned and left.She took a few steps and stopped in her tracks. She turned around with a smile and said, “Remember, you still owe me one meal. If we have the chance to… to meet again…”As Quincy spoke, she choked up and could not finish her sentence.She wanted to pretend to be fine as if she did not care.However, she could no longer keep up with her pretense
Thomas had told him to wait a few days in Cansington for his father to show up. After he met with his father and asked about his mother, he would leave Cansington with Thea and travel around the world.“Alright, then. I won’t send you off.”…After James bid farewell to Cynthia, he contacted Maxine.Maxine was still in Cansington and had not returned to the Capital.As a wise woman, she knew James and Thea would get remarried after Thea recovered her memories.Thea had always wanted to live in seclusion.Now that Sol was in peace, there was a high chance James would remarry Thea and live in seclusion with her.She had been waiting for James to say goodbye.Thus, she was very calm upon receiving James’ call.“Alright. I’ll head out right now.”Maxine hung up the phone and headed to where she had agreed to meet with James.Their meeting place was in the city square. James sat on a chair in the square and smoked a cigarette.Click! Clack! Click! Clack!High heels could be
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
