‘Is there really a place outside the Haleth Realm that none of us are aware of?’ James’ main self of Path wondered.He pushed his palm forward and sent a blast of Hadufen Light into the Path Cauldron. However, his attack appeared to be absorbed instantly as it disappeared inside.“Hurry up! I can’t hold on much longer.”The voice of James’ Anonymous main self came from behind just then.James’ main self of Path took a deep breath and pushed both palms forward this time, blasting a steady flow of Hadufen Light into the cauldron.Strangely, eerie sounds of people crying came from inside the cauldron not long after the light hit it.Shortly afterward, the Path Cauldron leaning toward James was gradually pushed to an upright position. Finally, the Waltraud Power stopped flowing out of the cauldron.As the Waltraud Power around him dissipated, James’ Anonymous main self materialized next to the main self of Path.Both of them frowned as they watched the mysterious Path Cauldron shri
“Hm? Why is it suddenly so quiet?”Inside a mysterious space, the Waitara Path’s soul spirit was looking at a colorful energy ball in his hand. A small frown creased his forehead.While leaning against the wall in a corner, Thea snickered.“I bet you don’t have the guts to go out and face my husband head-on.”The Waitara Path’s soul spirit shot a glare at her. Then, he channeled some Waltraud Power into the colorful energy ball.The energy ball glowed with a beautiful, sacred light briefly. Then, an image appeared in it.From the energy ball, the Waitara Path’s soul spirit could see someone who looked exactly like him standing in front of the eighty-one doors outside the Historial Palace.The person glanced left and right as if they were looking for something.“Did it work?” the Waitara Path’s soul spirit gasped. “Did she succeed in throwing James into the Origin of Evils and Dread District?”“Waitara Path!” the Waitara Path’s soul spirit shown in the image called aloud, “I di
James chuckled inwardly as he watched the Waitara Path’s soul spirit fly into a rage.He could tell that this was probably the doing of the two protectors, who were the manifestation of the Forty-Nine Daoisms. Moreover, the Waitara Path’s soul spirit was not exactly the real Waitara Path. Naturally, he did not have the right to enter the Historial Palace.“Darn it!”The soul spirit bellowed and generated a powerful blast of his power. The flow of Waltraud Power transformed into multiple azure dragons that rammed into the door one after the other.Boom! Boom! Boom!The force of the collisions shook the entire Historial Palace. Yet, when the shaking stopped, the door still stood in the same place looking completely intact.“Ugh!” The Waitara Path’s soul spirit growled, “Who on earth is keeping the door shut…”“Mr. Waitara!”James had assumed Yehria’s appearance at that point. “Could it be that there is a specific way to unlock the door? Or perhaps the force you used was not right
“What… What the hell was that?”The Waitara Path’s soul spirit struggled to his feet, fuming.James held back his laughter and said innocently, “I’m probably not powerful enough, Mr. Waitara. So, I only managed to hold on for that long. Why don’t you try it this time?”The soul spirit froze for a moment. Then, he strode toward the door and stood right before it.Without any hesitation, the soul spirit started twisting his body like James did and sang aloud the song James picked earlier.The sight of a man like him singing and dancing to a children’s song was the most awkward and jaw-dropping thing ever.Any divine being from the Haleth Realm would find it unbelievable even if they saw it with their own eyes.James could not help but burst into laughter after watching the soul spirit for a while. He quickly adjusted his expression when he felt the soul spirit’s piercing glare on him.As the Waitara Path’s soul spirit focused on his dancing, James curled his lips and pressed on t
Beams of purplish-gold light shot through the space, filled with dense, purplish-gold mist.The only sounds were the sharp whistling of things cutting through the air.James and the Waitara Pathʼs soul spirit arrived in such a space after entering the Historial Palace.There were no signs of the five treasures or the forty-nine cauldrons, nor any grandiosity or luxury. It felt like they were standing in an endless realm of purplish gold.Whoosh!A purplish-gold light beam shot past them, but the soul spirit caught it just in time.“No wonder it was so hard to open the last door!” the Waitara Pathʼs soul spirit muttered through clenched teeth.“Turns out the forty-nine cauldrons have somehow developed the consciousness of Yin and Yang, forming two spiritual bodies.”James, perfectly disguised as Yehria, asked anxiously, “Mr. Waitara, what… what is this place?”The Waitara Pathʼs soul spirit lifted his gaze. “It was originally a dojo used for training and meditation.Now that i
James’ brows twitched. “Did Zbynek and Lilibeth ask you to do this?”The child shook her head. “They are always so mean. I don’t like them.”James smiled wryly. “Uh… Are you coming with me?”The child quickly nodded.James held the child with one arm and leaped into the gigantic cauldron right away. He had no idea what would happen next as an unknown force pulled him down into the cauldron.Just then, the young girl stretched her hands and covered them over James’ ears.At the same time, James sensed a powerful sound wave travel past him. The sound wave destroyed the layer of Hadufen Gas surrounding his body almost instantaneously.Following that, a vicious wave of sword light washed over James. In seconds, his body was covered in numerous long, bloody cuts.James clenched his teeth and steeled himself.Despite the crippling pain, he did not let go of the young girl, who might be the only person that could save his life with all the challenges coming his way.Soon afterward,
The young girl held in James’ arms grimaced in pain. Her body turned slightly transparent due to the influence of the murderous energy.“I… I don’t want to die!”As she shouted, the child tore herself away from James and rushed at the approaching illusions.Boom! Boom! Boom!The child seemed to have released all of her powers, setting off multiple explosions. For a moment, she and the illusions were engulfed in smoke and fire.James flinched and snapped to his senses. He stared with widened eyes in the direction where the young girl was.James wanted to call for her but realized he didn’t even know her name.As James considered what to do, the smoke from the explosions gradually cleared, revealing a small form.James recognized the child instantly, even though her face was covered in dust.She was still alive!She teleported and re-emerged on James’ shoulder, puffing and panting slightly.James was about to say something when he felt himself getting pulled downward again. Th
Inside the Historial Palace, the soul spirit of the Waitara Path and the Path Protectors clashed for countless rounds, but neither side gained the upper hand. Eventually, they ceased fighting, each occupying half of the temple, sitting cross-legged opposite each other.Though their battle had halted, a stream of Waltraud Power and amethyst-gold light confronted each other in the void. The two forces remained distinctly separate, as if neither was willing to yield.After a while, the soul spirit of the Waitara Path squinted and said, “I’ve suppressed you two for so many years, so is this your chance for revenge?”Zbynek replied slowly, “We’re Path Protectors, responsible for defending the Forty-Nine Daoisms. This has nothing to do with revenge.”The Waitara Path’s soul spirit shouted, “The Forty-Nine Daoisms created me. Shouldn’t you protect me?”Lilibeth shook his head slowly. “No, you’re against the Forty-Nine Daoisms. Though you’re the Supreme Path, the Daoism of the Haleth Real
