Half a day later, James arrived at Mount Tai.Retracing his steps, he headed to the ravine where the Chamber of Scriptures was located. He dived into the water, entered the underground cave, and arrived outside the Chamber of Scriptures. He pushed open the stone door and entered the tower’s first floor.The first floor was empty.James shouted while looking around, “Ms. Custodian! Are you there, Ms. Custodian? It’s James. I need to speak with you.”Swoosh!At that moment, there was a flash of white that slowly descended to the ground, revealing the image of a woman in a white dress.She was tall with a delicate and beautiful appearance, giving off an ethereal aura.“What is it?”Her voice was airy and pleasant to the ears.James asked, “Where’s Thea? I’d like to see her.”“Thea is purifying her Demonic Energy underground and is indisposed to see visitors at the moment.”“It’s urgent. I must see her.”The woman pursed her lips for a moment and said, “Alright. I’ll bring you
The Chamber of Scriptures’ custodian lightly flicked her hand, and a force swept out from her sleeve to engulf James.His vision went blurry and when his eyes opened again he found himself on the Chamber of Scriptures’ first floor.James was stumped.It was impossible for him to marry the three women.His only alternative is to locate Winnie as soon as possible. After he’s rescued her, he would not have to worry about Maxine threatening him.Suddenly, the Omniscient Deity came to mind.The Omniscient Deity was probably the only other person who knew of Winnie’s whereabouts.James left the Chamber of Scriptures and boarded his private plane to Mount Jade.After half a day, the private plane arrived at Mount Jade.James found the Omniscient Deity at the back of the mountain.He was dressed in his usual white robe. He sat on a rock at the back of Mount Jade with a piece of straw in his mouth.“You’re here.”The Omniscient Deity did not turn around.James walked over, sat on a
The people on the list included the Omniscient Deity, the Prince of Orchid Mountain, Tyrus, James, and Thea.After reviewing the information, the man in the cyan robe replied, “Alright. I’ll slowly get rid of them. Since I’m here, I should take a good look at Earth.”James was unaware that another formidable person from the Overworld had come to Earth.Compared to Conrad, this person was far more terrifying. So much so that even Conrad was compelled to address him respectfully out of fear and trepidation.At that moment, James arrived in Cansington.He did not return to the Callahans’ villa immediately after his arrival.Instead, he headed to Cynthia’s house.He temporarily stayed at her place and did not contact Maxine.James waited for updates from Henry and the Omniscient Deity.Three days later, the Omniscient Deity appeared in Cansington.“Lord Omniscient, how is it? Do you have any news on Winnie’s whereabouts?”James inquired impatiently.The Omniscient Deity shook h
James' original intention was to deceive Maxine to reunite with Winnie first.His strength would allow him to snatch Winnie away from her, and Maxine would no longer have leverage over him.However, Maxine refused to negotiate and was only willing to let James see Winnie after staying married to them for three years.After she hung up the phone, James sat on the sofa pensively.‘What should I do?‘Do I really have to marry three of them?‘That’s out of the question.‘I already have Thea. I won’t marry other women.’“James.” Cynthia’s voice reached his ears.James regained his senses, turned to her, and asked, “Mhm? What’s wrong?”“What did Maxine say?” asked Cynthia.James sighed and said, “She isn’t willing to negotiate with me and insists on handing Winnie over after the three years of marriage are up. I don’t know where Winnie is right now, and I’m worried to hell since I don’t know what kind of person Maxine has become.”“Then you’ll just have to marry us.”Cynthia t
Just as James was thinking about it, he received a call from Maxine.“Get ready. I’ll send someone to send you, Cynthia, and Tiara to Floret Palace.”After Maxine finished speaking, she hung up the phone without giving James a chance to get a word in.James had an exasperated expression. Now that things had come to this, he could only proceed with things a single step at a time.However, he refused to give up.He called Delainey and asked her to use Mount Thunder Sect’s connections to locate Winnie.Soon, people from Maxine’s sect arrived.James complied and went without a fuss.The Floret Palace disciples led the three into a vehicle and drove them to the airport. There, they boarded a plane and headed to the city where the Floret Palace was located.Floret Palace was a sect founded by Maxine within the borders of Sol.It was located atop a mountain range. One of the mountains towered into the sky, and a majestic building was built on its peak.After reaching Floret Palace,
James ignored Maxine.“Alright, I’ll stop bothering you. You should get prepared for the wedding tomorrow. You need to be in high spirits. There’ll be a lot of martial artists present, and it’s best if you don’t look grumpy. Otherwise, they’ll make fun of you.”Maxine smiled and left.The night felt unending.James could not fall asleep and was waiting for updates.He never received any news and the rest of the night went on uneventfully.Early the next day, a disciple from Floret Palace came to James with a pristine, white suit.Maxine wanted to have a traditional wedding.James did not turn them away and changed into the suit.After getting dressed, the disciple led him to Floret Palace’s main hall.Lots of people were already gathered in the main hall when he arrived.Among them were many familiar faces.As soon as James showed up, Callan, who has been drinking with some people, stood up and walked over. He patted James on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Congratulat
“Stop!”At that moment, a voice boomed through the hall.Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man walking into the hall. He wore a plain coat and held a long sword in his hand.“Isn’t that Sky from Tacriyrus?”“Why is he here?”Many people began to whisper speculatively about Sky’s sudden appearance.Maxine frowned when she saw Sky.Meanwhile, James’ face lit up with delight.Someone had come to crash the wedding.Maxine looked at the sullen Sky with a nonchalant expression and said coldly, “What’s the meaning of this, Sky?”Sky walked into the main hall. He glanced at James, then turned to Maxine, asking, “Why?”Maxine returned his question calmly, “What do you mean why?”Sky began to gripe. “Haven’t I treated you well in the past year? Yet, you’re trying to marry James behind my back and willingly becoming his mistress? Have you lost your mind, Maxine?”“This is my decision and it has nothing to do with you. If you’re here to attend the wedding,
In the past few days, Henry used all of Dragonville’s connections along with Sol’s help, and he was finally able to find Winnie’s whereabouts.Now, it would only take two hours to rescue Winnie.James only needed to buy them two hours.Two hours later, this entire debacle would finally be over.James calmly ended the call.At that moment, Sky held onto his long sword in the Floret Palace’s main hall and looked at Maxine.Maxine’s long hair danced in the air. She casually waved her hand, and a black sword zoomed to her from the outside. She caught the sword, and it trembled as she pointed it at Sky.“Leave!”Sky’s eyes were still on Maxine.He was heartbroken.For all the years he had lived, he never had feelings for any woman.He once assisted Lance in conquering and establishing Sol.Even when he stood at the peak of power and influence, there was no woman that could catch his intention. After getting to know Maxine, he eventually fell in love.He did not even hesitate to
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
