James was stunned by Frona’s words. ‘I temporarily lost her? Was she also captured?’Frona looked at James and answered, “We encountered Xanthakos on our way here. Light Thea and your other pet fell into his hands.”James was shocked by the news. He turned around abruptly, his face filled with hostility.Faced with James’ gaze, Frona lowered her head in shame and replied, “We couldn’t save her. Your second body was already seriously injured after shuttling back and forth through the Xyrisia Gate. It was a miracle she escaped from Xanthakos’ hands...”“Enough,” James raised his hand and interrupted, then took a deep breath.James did not blame Frona. Instead, he felt it was his fault for being so naive. He thought everything was under his control but ended up as someone else’s pawn. He paved the path for them, and even his wife got caught up in their scheme.Frona sighed and sat down cross-legged, unsure of what advice to give James. After all, only he could make the decision.Af
The densely packed black and white bubbles floated in the void, each containing different versions of James. From the powerful Dragon General on Earth to when he embarked on a path of cultivation, each represented his past experiences, hardships, the cycle of life and death, affection, and hatred. Friends and foes he encountered throughout his life emerged one by one.Frona said emotionally, “After walking a long journey, people eventually forget why they set out in the first place. However, one of the Great Daoism is cause and effect, which records each living being’s spoken words and deeds. Their fate is a result of their past actions.“However, your biggest problem is not cause and effect. It’s that you lack the determination to seek the peak of cultivation. In fact, it seems like you’re not interested at all.”James did not refute her words. Instead, he felt like she understood him well despite being the leader of the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness. She was much brighter than
“But what I admire most is what you experienced and accomplished when you were Wyrmstead’s Dragon King on Earth.“Back then, you were full of vigor. Not only were you domineering, but you were also decisive and protected the whole world with your strength.”James fell silent, unable to remember what he had done and who he had been when he was the Dragon King. ‘Is this what she meant by going too far and forgetting why he set out in the first place?’Frona said emotionally, “Is being carefree and wasting your days what you really want? You’re strong, but who do you seek to be mighty for? If you only want to be Thea’s hero, you shouldn’t have embarked on the path of cultivation. You should’ve stayed on Earth as the Dragon King. After a hundred years, you will return to dust, and everything you lived for will also be gone.”Frona turned around and looked directly at James. “But since you’ve come this far, you have an obligation and responsibility. With great strength comes great respo
Looking at the red-gold light filling the sky, Frona’s solemn expression gradually relaxed and was replaced by excitement. She understood that the Inner Demons in the black and white bubbles in the void were merely manifestations. The real Inner Demon stemmed from James’ lack of a firm Cultivation Heart and his indecisiveness about what he truly wanted.After Frona provoked him with the truth, James’ greatest Inner Demon was finally released.“Seeking Daoism, preaching scriptures, and expounding on the true essence of cultivation requires one to be firm without suspicion or jealousy, steadfast in the Cultivation Heart. By doing so, one can integrate the Five Spirits and gain transcendent power.”After reciting the passage, Frona suddenly stretched out her hand and thrust it at James.Instantly, a wave of Nothingness Aura enveloped James and slowly lifted him into the void. His body gradually emitted a faint purple-gold light, and a shiny pearl suddenly appeared, followed by another
Wrapped in dazzling lights, James screamed as he endured excruciating pain.“The Limitless Body and Ultimate Serenity. All Paths converge to one and to oneʼs original state,” Frona murmured, then unleashed millions of streams of Nothingness Auras into the light enveloping James.The 81 jade lotuses, 49 gold lotuses, and 9 purple-gold lotuses circling James each produced a black-and-white pearl. With a buzzing sound, the lotuses submerged into the dazzling light ball around James. Even the massive lotus beneath James vanished into the light ball.Suddenly, the light ball exploded, revealing a handsome man. James had been reborn once again. His appearance did not change much, but the aura and air around him had transformed significantly. His gaze was sharp, his facial features sculpted, and he emitted a very sacred temperament.Previously, James would have been considered a Historial being with a mortal body. Now that he had integrated the Three Treasures and Five Spirits, he had ach
There was no response. The space within the tower had fallen into a dead silence.James scanned the area puzzledly. He was immediately overwhelmed with shock when he found that his Inner Demons had disappeared.“Master!” Two voices called out simultaneously from behind him.James turned around and saw the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword approaching him. Two light rays emerged from it, then transformed into Hemera and Fennec.“Why did you two come out?” James frowned.Hemera and Fennec quickly explained everything that had happened.James was shocked beyond compare after listening to their descriptions of the events. He spread his arms, and a purple-gold Waltraud Power emerged, emitting a potent force.“The Limitless Body and Ultimate Serenity!”James suddenly recalled Lesia’s words. Once he integrated the Three Treasures and Five Spirits, he would achieve the Limitless Body and Ultimate Serenity. He would be immune to all kinds of Path Powers and could overcome any tribulation. He woul
The Waitara Path’s soul spirit came to a realization. He squinted and guessed, “No, it can’t be. I took calculated moves. Did you three also plot against me?”Thea burst into laughter at his suspicion.“Tell me! What else are you hiding?” The Waitara Path’s soul spirit became anxious at her reaction.Thea snorted, “I might tell you if you beat me up a little.”“You!” The Waitara Path’s soul spirit fumed.Thea cast him a glance, then stood up to examine the temple.After a while, she suddenly sniffed the air curiously.“What are you doing?” the Waitara Path’s soul spirit questioned angrily.Thea looked around and said, “There’s a very fishy smell here. Has she been revived?”The Waitara Path’s soul spirit was momentarily stunned by the question. He recovered and snorted, “You’re asking about Yehria, right?”Thea ignored him and walked around, knocking and kicking the temple’s walls.The Waitara Path’s soul spirit laughed, “It seems that you’ve figured it out. Since you’re awa
Thea leaned back in the chair leisurely, opened her eyes, and looked at Yehria. The next moment, she shut her eyes again, completely uninterested.Yehria laughed sarcastically, “Aren’t you supposed to be really capable? What happened to Hokuwn, your Three Treasures, and Silver’s inheritance? Isn’t your husband able to dominate the Greater Realms? Why did he abandon you again?“What a pitiful woman. Not only were you split into two halves, but you have to keep sacrificing for that man. Yet, you still wish for a happy ending with him. Haha!”Yehria pointed at Thea and jeered, “What a joke! You’re a fool, blinded by love and willing to do anything for a man.”With that said, Yehria laughed out loud complacently.The Waitara Path’s soul spirit also joined in, laughing until he began to cough up blood again. Eventually, he had to sit cross-legged to heal his wounds.Yehria put her hands behind her back and stared at Thea triumphantly.“The Waitara Path is gracious and allows your rud
