“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
Yegor finally stopped laughing. He looked at James excitedly. “Didnʼt I say that James will always bring us the greatest luck and surprises? I told you so, Herodias!” Herodias was rendered speechless by his sudden taunt. Then, she turned her gaze toward James. She already knew that James was their lucky star from the first time she saw him. She did not need Yegor to tell her that. Since they had gotten rid of the unwanted karma and tribulations, James raised his hand and summoned the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell back to his body. As the bell chimes stopped, the dark light around them faded away a few seconds later. Yegor and Herodias each raised a hand. A strong flow of Tirta Power circulated above their palms as they tried to check their powers. The couple was on cloud nine. “Now, I can help you fuse with the Golden Bodies.” James reminded them about the next step. Herodias and Yegor looked up and smiled at James with gratitude. “Let’s start with Mr. Yegor.” James went o
Herodias scrambled to her feet and rushed toward Yegor again. However, James had lifted her with his powers before Herodias could get close to Yegor. Similar to what he did for Yegor, James fused Herodias with her Golden Body too. To everyone’s surprise, Herodias absorbed all of the Tirta Power contained in the Tirta Grand Formation after she had fused with the Golden Body. In the end, Herodias managed to achieve the Ninth Xaeclon Rank. As soon as the process was completed, Herodias immediately chased after Yegor and threw punches at him. James found it extremely amusing. Yegor cried, “That’s enough! I’m his senior, after all. Canʼt you do this when there’s only the two of us around?” “James isn’t a total stranger to us.” Herodias kicked Yegorʼs behind forcefully. “This is what you get for making me look like a fool just now!” James chuckled as he watched Yegor fly out of the main hall. “Ms. Herodias, with your current level of powers, you guys can leave the Telhervo Ho
James looked at the drunk Yegor and said resignedly, “Heʼll be out for at least two entrapochs after drinking that. It’ll be too late for anything by then.” “That’s the Chaos Absinthe, right?” Herodias asked. James raised his brows. “You know about the liquor too, Ms. Herodias?” “I used to have some close friends from the Ying World.” Herodias sighed softly. “I received several dozens of these crocks filled with the Chaos Absinthe from them.” She turned her gaze toward Yegor. “I was worried that this guy would do something foolish if he knew about the Chaos Absinthe. “So, I hid them from him all this time. Yet, he managed to make a fool out of himself anyway.” Jamesʼ eyes twinkled. “Ms. Herodias, can you give them to me?” Herodias seemed slightly surprised. “The Chaos Essence you used to fuse us with our Golden Body came from the Chaos Absinthe?” “That’s right!” James nodded vigorously. “I donʼt get drunk from drinking the liquor. I even gain a lot of benefits from drin
As James re-emerged somewhere a little further from the Telhervo Holy Site, he spotted Xitlaly who was still waiting nearby. Xitlaly was commendable for her alertness and prudence. However, it appeared she had not leveled up much. James lifted his hand and channeled a tremendous amount of Marciais Power toward Xitlaly. By the time she wanted to defend herself, the Marciais Power had washed over her. Xitlaly could not even move a muscle. Suddenly, Xitlaly sensed numerous mysterious and powerful energies flowing into her body. Those energies enhanced her bones and organs, her bloodline power, her soul, and her body. Xitlaly soon realized she could assume a seated position. After that, she started channeling the Genesis Power and the fragment of Historial Power she had in her body. To her surprise, her powers increased drastically. Eventually, James put down his hand. He cast a soundproof formation around them. “You still have to experience several tribulations before en
“Yegor, what are you doing?” The man asked in a stern voice, “According to the Law of Path, you should have been imprisoned. Why…” “Qadirre.” Yegor interrupted, “You and I were friends in the past. So, donʼt waste my time with your nonsense and move aside.” The man, Qadirre Trench, fell silent. One of the women started, “Yegor and Herodias, this is the Tai Chi Grand Temple, the most sacred place in the Thirty-Third Heaven. You are breaking the rules…” Smack! Before the woman could finish, she was slapped hard across the face by a palm formed from the Tirta Power. She dropped to the floor due to the force. Everyone looked in Herodias’ direction. Herodias stretched and shook her hand a little. Then, she put her hand on her back. “You, a mere servant, dares to bring up rules before me?” The woman on the floor wanted to launch an attack on Herodias. However, the other female cultivator signaled for her to be patient. That female cultivator said in a mocking tone, “Ylva,
