James looked at Lesia and gradually shut his eyes. “Does my wife know all this too?”Lesia replied, “She’s aware of some of it. But since she hasn’t fully regained her identity as the Yin governor, she hasn’t regained all of her memories.”James was struck by a mix of shock, emotion, and sorrow. He thought to himself, ‘My silly wife. Even though she only knows fragments of the truth, she could’ve still shared them with me. With just one word, I would seize the position of Supreme Path without any questions. I could even challenge the Nine Nothingness Gods if she asked.”After pondering for a while, James opened his eyes and asked, “What else have you hid from me? Lay it all out now. I don’t want any more secrets.”Lesia looked at James and asked anxiously, “Are…are you not angry?”“Of course, I’m furious. According to you, all my wife’s sufferings stem from the Leere Tribulation, which you’ve tasked her to resolve,” James responded, discontent evident in his voice.“Why don’t you
Qadeer found himself in a state of panic, his mind consumed with thoughts of how to extricate himself from the current situation. He was acutely aware that James’ decision to confer privately with Lesia was a clear indication of the trust placed in her. The realization cast doubt on the effectiveness of his provocations.Yet, he could not linger in this situation any further. The presence of Lord Goyo had made him anxious. If he lost control of the Forty-Ninth Heaven, it would yield dire consequences.However, releasing James from the Gate of Mystery was not an option. Allowing him out would only invite a more formidable opponent in the future.In the midst of his unease, a shadow darted before him, and James reappeared.Qadeer, eyes wide, hastily cautioned, “James, do not succumb to the honeyed words of that woman, you…”James interjected coldly, “I’ve only asked one question. The next question is, when should I merge my wife’s two halves?”Qadeer stood stupefied by the suddennes
When James seized the Great Historial Land and confronted several of the holy temples, he experienced similar emotions and entertained the same notions as Qadeer. However, James was not naive enough to believe that Qadeer would truly advocate for the creatures of the Greater Realms.James looked at him curiously and asked, “Do you harbor animosity towards all beings born from Xyloria Aura and resent the Waitara Path?”Qadeer calmly admitted. “Yes. If he truly succeeds this time, he will become the eternal master of the Greater Realms, impervious even to the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness.Suddenly, Qadeer’s eyes gleamed with uncontrollable greed as he asked, “Do you grasp the significance of the Xanadu Realm?”“It not only has powers and Vital Energy beyond our comprehension but also about opportunities and mysteries waiting to be unraveled. It could even propel us past our current cultivation limits.“Moreover, the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness exist there. They are capable
Morgott suddenly rose to his feet and said, “Do you want to meet the same fate as mine, James? Why are you even considering partnering with him?”James turned to Morgott and asked, “Have you partnered with him?”Morogtt sneered, “Of course. His persuasion back then was more convincing and heartfelt than what you’re hearing from him right now. He spoke of righteousness and defending the Greater Realms. It really swayed me and lowered my guard.“Yet, at a crucial moment, he struck me with the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword and sealed me away for eons.”James looked at Qadeer with a questioning expression.Qadeer snapped, “The audacity you have to bring that up! I carefully laid out a plan, but you didn’t follow it!”“Your plan would lead me to an even more agonizing demise!” Morgott retorted, then he eyed James and said, “Trust no one but yourself!”Qadeer interjected, “It’s not like that, James. While my partnership with Morgott did put him in a bad situation, it wasn’t completely fruit
James frowned and coldly interjected, “Enough. Whether you’re Frona or Lesia, from this moment onward, you’re no longer my second body. I’ve already voided our soul contract.“Seeing that we’ve gone through a lot together, I’ll spare your life. Return to Void World.”James’ ruthless words left Morgott and Lesia in shock. Even Qadeer lifted his head abruptly, scrutinizing James’ face for any hint of deceit or pretense.However, James’ determination was unwavering and left no room for negotiation.“Master, you…” Lesia stared at James in disbelief, her eyes welling with tears.“Get lost.” James raised his hand dismissively, and a terrifying light suddenly engulfed Lesia.The purple-red flames consumed Lesia’s body, and her aura gradually dissipated.Morgott lost his composure and growled, “What madness is this, James?!! That’s your second body! How could you do that to her?”James closed his eyes, remaining indifferent to the situation.As Lesia burned in the flames, a sorrowful s
James said coldly, “You won’t regret letting me set the terms?”Qadeer was taken aback, his heart skipping a beat. He realized his triumphant attitude was too obvious after witnessing Frona's self-destruction, and he nearly exposed himself.He laughed and said, “How about a marriage?”James raised an eyebrow and looked at him perplexedly. Qadeer explained smilingly, “Don’t misunderstand. I know of your deep affection for the Yin governor and that you won’t accept another woman. What I am suggesting is we become in-laws.”James was rendered speechless. Qadeer elaborated, “You have sons and daughters, and so do I. It’d be perfect to have an arranged marriage.”James frowned and said, “Explain in detail.”Qadeer said calmly, “I’ll be direct then. You’ve already met my son, so you should more or less know about him.”James inquired, “Youcef?”Qadeer nodded. “Yes. What do you think of him?”James did not respond but began assessing Youcef. Back in the Tai Chi World, Youcef’s sud
James replied, “The vision you’ve described is too distant. Let’s focus on our current situation.”Qadeer was momentarily taken aback before responding, “If you and I agree to have an alliance through our children’s marriage, I will immediately release Morgott and open the Gate of Mystery for you to leave.”“I don’t care where Morgott goes. However, you can join my venture to the Forty-Ninth Heaven to reclaim everything that belongs to us.”James squinted his eyes.Morogtt shouted from within the formation, “Are you out of your mind, James? Do you really believe his words? You even let Frona self-destruct! You…”“Shut up,” James snapped at Morgott. Then, he turned to Qadeer and said smilingly, “Let’s change our terms a little. I want to temporarily use the Gate of Mystery for three entrapochs. During this period, you can’t intervene. Otherwise, the deal is off.“As for the marriage, I’m open to it. But I would like to see your sincerity first before making a decision.”“Just thr
Facing Yehria’s curses, Xanthakos was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood.Then, he pointed at Yehria with a shaky hand and laughed. “Alright. You will suffer.”After that, he shot up to the sky but was stopped by the Sword Light James shot out.“James, what do you mean by this?” Xanthakos asked angrily. “We have signed the soul contract.”“Since we’ve signed it, we should fulfill it.” Enunciating each word, James said, “Let go of Morgott.”Upon hearing that, Xanthakos waved his hand. He withdrew the Nothingness Dead Energy that trapped Morgot before disappearing from the Gate of Mystery.It was only then that James turned around and looked at Yehria.“W-What are you looking at?” Yehria panicked and asked, “Is this your first time seeing a beautiful woman?”However, in the next second, James’ expression changed. He carried Yehria and moved away.Then, an amethyst-red spear passed by where James and Yehria were previously. It had terrifying Demonic Energy.Returnin
