“They haven’t all perished, have they?” James asked.“No.” Jacopo came to his senses and sighed lightly, “It’s just that among the old friends you mentioned, two have fallen as lackeys under Tai Chi.”“Who?” James feigned surprise.“Gladwin Warrick and Yaquis Holiness,” Xainte huffed. “Without them, Uncle Truett wouldn’t still be missing to this day, and our Solstice Alliance wouldn’t have ended up like this.”‘Truett’s disappearance was related to Gladwin and Yaquis Holiness?’ James’ mind stirred.“I know about Truett, the son of Yegor. Doesn’t he care?” he said.Xainte grumbled, “Mr. Yegor and Ms. Herodias are both imprisoned in the Telhervo Holy Site. They’re unable to intervene.”“The Telhervo Holy Site is their own exotic space, and they can still be kept there?” James found it hard to believe. After all, Clayton could move back and forth at will within it, even treating the Tirta Grand Formation as nothing. Jacopo sighed lightly. “You’re right, but Tai Chi later placed t
James could not help but chuckle inwardly. The so-called “Aunt Xitlaly” they referred to must be Xitlaly Blair. This girl possessed the Orient Force and had long reached the peak of Ninth Tribulation. Surely, she must have attained consummation by now.It seemed her authority in the eyes of these kids was exceptionally high. Thinking about it, James said with a smile, “Let’s talk about it when we get there.”With a wave of his hand, James brought Jacopo and Xainte to traverse several steps using the Terrastride Step, effortlessly plunging into the Tirta Grand Formation without any strain.As they landed, Jacopo and Xainte wore expressions of profound shock. They had not expected James to possess such Supernatural Power, capable of disregarding even the Tirta Grand Formation.In the next moment, a Sword Light suddenly flickered in the void. A fairy clad in snowy-white robes, carrying a dazzling whip in her hand, gracefully descended.“Aunt Xitlaly...” Xainte exclaimed in alarm, has
Staring at James, Xitlaly could not discern his cultivation base. She bowed respectfully and said, “So, you’re Mr. Biefren. I must apologize for any inconvenience caused. As for these two children...”“They’re not bad,” James chuckled. “They’ve inherited half of the true teachings of Clayton, but also the arrogance and recklessness of the entire inheritance. They need strict discipline.”As he spoke, both Jacopo and Xainte turned their heads simultaneously, their expressions seeming to say, ‘Senior, didn’t we agree not to deceive us? Why are you making things worse now?’Xitlaly held her whip and glared fiercely at Jacopo and Xainte. “Be honest. If Mr. Biefren hadn’t helped you this time, could you have returned safely?”Hearing this, Jacopo was startled. He hastily kowtowed.Xainte muttered under her breath, also kowtowing without daring to raise her head.“The Tirta Grand Formation can’t keep you anymore,” Xitlaly snapped angrily. “Fine, I’ll take the risk and send you to the F
James performed the Dawnblaze Form and vanished from the spot instantly. Xitlaly’s jaw dropped. Then, she glared at Jacopo and Xainte. “Do the two of you even know much about that man, Mr. Biefren?” Jacopo and Xainte exchanged a glance timidly. Then, they told Xitlaly about how they met James. The youngsters also described to her how James brought them into the Tirta Grand Formation without using any signature skills. Moreover, James managed to remain undetected and came out completely unscathed. Xitlaly had a look of bewilderment on her face upon hearing those words. Even the Yang governor, who had reached the Sixth Xaeclon Rank, could not break through the Tirta Grand Formation. In other words, Biefren was most likely in a higher cultivation rank than the Yang governor. Xitlaly could not tell whether this was good or bad news for Skynet. “Aunt Xitlaly!” Xainte had a rough idea about what Xitlaly would be concerned with. “We couldnʼt even gauge how powerful Mr. Biefren
Inside the Telhervo Holy Siteʼs main hall, Yegor who was sitting on the floor slowly opened his eyes. His face broke into a smile. “What’s with that lustful smile? Are you thinking about some other lady?” Herodias said menacingly, “Do I have to keep you on a leash now?” Yegor was momentarily stunned. Then, he rolled his eyes. “You can be so overly suspicious. Come on. We should go out and welcome an old friend.” Herodias looked puzzled as she watched Yegor stand up and head for the door. “Old friend? Which of our old friends can still get in here?” She got to her feet and followed behind Yegor. Just as the two of them exited the main hall, they could see a ball of gray, black, and white lights shot through the air and landed a few steps away. A middle-aged man materialized from the ball of light. “You… Who are you? How did you get in here?!” Herodias was wary of the stranger, which was actually Jamesʼ new disguise. On the other hand, Yegor laughed heartily and extended
“I just came back from the Yinʼs Void. There are a few things that I’m unaware of. For instance, how come the Celestial Sages and Sir Mattaniah are missing? Also, where is Truett?” asked James.Upon hearing his questions, Yegor and Herodias sighed and fell silent. “Even the two of you have no idea where they are?” James asked. “It’s probably part of Tai Chiʼs plan.” Yegor responded, “She’s trying to prepare for when you return from the Yinʼs Void.” James furrowed his brows. “So, she abducted the Genesis Worldʼs last few grand patriarchs, including the Celestial Sages… “She’s trying to control them and help them achieve the Xaeclon Rank so that she can use them to subdue me?” Yegor nodded. Herodias added, “Your wife is most likely one of Tai Chiʼs targets too. You guys might have to go up against a group of Xaeclon Rank cultivators soon.” James had a thoughtful expression. “Did my wife come to see you?”Herodias grinned broadly. “She came to the rescue when the Yang gove
For a moment, Yegor and Herodias were at a loss for words. They stared up at the Golden Bodies designed specifically for them. Their bodies trembled slightly. At the coupleʼs level of cultivation, only a handful of treasures or rare items would be able to pique their interest or get them excited. The Golden Body was one of those precious treasures. It was also the final key Herodias and Yegor needed to enter the Xaeclon Rank. It was what all cultivators dreamed of having but might never get the chance to possess it. However, Yegorʼs and Herodiasʼ eyes dulled a brief moment later. They let out a deep sigh. “What’s the matter?” James frowned. “Do you not want to achieve the Daeclon Rank?” “Of course we do.” Yegor smiled wryly. “However, we won’t ever be able to do that due to the karma and tribulations tied to our fate. “It’s pointless even if you provide us with the Golden Body.” Herodias sighed again. “We have no choice but to turn down your offer, James. You should g
A few moments later, James transmitted his voice to Lesia. “There are only around two hundred karma and tribulations left. However, it is also the most critical moment for this process. “Put them in a dreamlike state using the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell. I will need time for this part.” Lesia responded in acknowledgment. Then, she sent the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell out of James’ body. In the blink of an eye, the bell multiplied rapidly to form ten thousand bells. Once they were all formed, the bells chimed simultaneously above Yegor and Herodias. A mysterious energy fell upon the couple, sending them into a dreamlike state almost instantaneously. Yegor and Herodias were noticeably calmer. “It worked!” James said gleefully, “Try to keep them like that for as long as possible.” With the bells ringing continuously, James focused his attention on removing the remaining karma and tribulations. To his surprise, James soon discovered three powerful restrictions that were concealed as t
