“They sure did their best,” Faela remarked, sliding a cup of tea before James. “I can help, but there’s a condition.”James remained silent, awaiting her terms.Faela looked at him and said, “It’s pretty simple. I just want to know about the current state of the Ying World and how Marciais Power has developed.”James nodded with a smile and proceeded to recount everything he had observed and heard in the Ying World.After listening for a while, Faela furrowed her brow as she remarked, "Hador only reached the Third Xaeclon Rank? No wonder he’s led the Ying World into such dire straits.”James sighed. “You guys were deceived by Zymurgy while they fell to Tai Chi’s schemes. In essence, it’s almost the same situation.”Faela slowly lifted a steaming cup of tea and remarked, “You have inherited Sir Yianni’s Marciais Soul, so it is your destiny to guide the Ying World back to its former glory.”“What do you consider as glory?” James inquired with a smile.Faela fell silent and sipped
In the Thirty-Third Heaven of the Tai Chi Grand Temple, a middle-aged man in a black and white robe stood atop the tall walls.His countenance bore regal authority and disdain, projecting a presence that seemed to look down upon the Greater Realms.Beneath him stood several living beings that bowed to him, afraid to meet his gaze.The middle-aged man shouted, “Tai Chi has personally given me the order to temporarily be the substitute as the Yang governor. From now on, I, Qadirre Trench, will handle the affairs of Tai Chi World.Everyone immediately raised their head in horror.“What’s wrong? Are you not satisfied with the decision?” Qadirre frowned.Startled, the audience below knelt in succession, their voices ringing in unison, “No, Yang governor!”Qadirre stood proudly, his hands clasped behind his back, emitting an arrogant aura. At that moment, he felt a sense of importance.For eons, he had yeared for the position. After so long, he never had the chance because of Tai Chi
Captured along with them were the ancestors of the Tai Chi World, such as Mattaniah of the Iustus Sect, Xaiden and Xolani of the Timaeus Sect, and Yzert from the Yaquis Sect.These individuals were once esteemed experts renowned within the Tai Chi World, yet their cultivation had stagnated due to suppression.However, after their ventures in Zymurgy, they attained golden bodies and ascended to the Fifth Xaeclon Rank or higher. Now, they were transcendent powerhouses.Despite their newfound strength, they found themselves devoid of status or dignity in the presence of the other powerhouses inside the Tai Chi Grand Temple.“Silence!” Qadirre raised his hand into the air to hush them.The kneeling creatures fell silent instantly, and their gazes fixated on him with eager anticipation.Qadirre declared authoritatively, “The weakest here is already at the Fifth Xaeclon Rank. As the Yang governor, I hereby announce the establishment of Tai Chi Guardians to stand watch at Zymurgy’s fir
Qadirre’s brow furrowed in confusion. “What are you insinuating?”The Celestial Sage said solemnly, “Although the Earthly Sage and I reside in the Tai Chi World, we’re not living beings. You should know that.”The Earthly Sage lifted his head and said coldly, “We’re manifestations of Yin-Yang Aura. Hence, our auras far surpass that of mere beings. Although you’re temporarily taking over as the Yang governor, I must inquire, are you a living being or a manifestation of aura?”Qadirre’s expression stiffened, completely at a loss for words.The Celestial Sage continued. “As far as I know, he wasn’t born from energy nor Tai Chi, Yehria. In truth, she is a mere mortal who attained strength through cultivation. Hence, his insistence on our homage violates the natural order and the Law of Paths.”At that moment, a collective shock rippled through the hall as they were reminded of the Celestial and Earthly Sages’ origins. Although they were not exceptional powerhouses, they were still bor
Mattaniah was in charge of the ninth level. The tenth level was entrusted to Yzert. Lastly, Ylva and Qadirre took care of the eleventh and twelfth levels.Furthermore, the Tai Chi Grand Temple dispatched the so-called Twelve Tai Chi Envoys, individuals at the Fifth Xaeclon Rank, to descend into the Tai Chi World. Their mission was to select powerful beings capable of ascending to Zymurgy.Tai Chi’s comprehensive plan to segregate powerful forces within the Tai Chi World to face the Tai Chi Tribulation and fight against James and Thea was set into motion.She used the allure of Zymurgy and enticed powerful Tai Chi World beings to join her cause. By doing so, James’ Sky Bridge plan would eventually prove ineffective. After all, nobody could resist the temptation of entering the Xaeclon Rank or even the Daeclon Rank.Using the allure of the open realm of the heavens, they intended to entice all potent creatures in the Tai Chi world to join their cause. In doing so, any vulnerabilities
After Faela said that, the hundreds of powerhouses with the Marciais Power behind her suddenly spread out to both sides, instantly surrounding James in the void.They made gestures with their hands. The terrifying Marciais Power gathered and formed a huge black energy ball.The hundreds of powerhouses above the Eighth Xaeclon Rank activated their Supernatural Powers simultaneously. They were powerful. The scene was terrifying. Even James who had gone through many things was shocked.“Start the sacrifice!” Faela shouted. She pushed the energy ball formed by the Marciais Power toward James.‘Sacrifice? What sacrifice?’ James was stunned. He shot out a ray of power of three colors subconsciously. It instantly hit away Faela’s energy ball. “Wait.” He waved his hand immediately. Shocked, he asked, “Faela, what do you mean by this? What sacrifice?”“Since we have decided to integrate you with the Grand Patriarch’s Marciais Soul, of course, we must make a sacrifice.” Coldly, Faela said,
James knew the situation of this group of powerhouses, but the expectations were too heavy for him. He was afraid that he would let them down.Right then, Faela suddenly stretched out her hands. A huge energy ball of the Marciais Power headed to him rapidly. “Let’s work together. He must accept it. It’s his mission.”Following that, the hundreds of powerhouses surrounding James shot out energy balls of the Marciais Power. In the blink of an eye, James was surrounded.This time, James didn’t resist. He knew that it was his responsibility as Yianni’s disciple.In the next second, he closed his eyes. As he was wrapped in the Marciais Power, he rotated slowly. At the same time, the Golden Bones began to absorb the Marciais Power. It refined endlessly.In that instant, the purple-black light exuded from the Ultimate Golden Body instantly covered the area.The powerhouses around James were constantly exerting the Marciais Power. They imbued their strength into James and were trying the
However, as the Marciais Power continued to pour in, the Marciais Soul which was originally only the size of a baby’s face expanded again. It was more than several times larger than before. Then, it exploded again, turning into purple, black, red, and blue.The Eighth Xaeclon Rank!James was shocked, but he remained still.He knew that every trace of the Marciais Power that all the powerhouses around him focused on represented their expectations. They hoped that the Marciais Power could be recognized by the Great Historial Land and truly reach the Daeclon Rank. Only in this way would their hundreds of thousands of entrapochs of waiting, suffering and sacrifice be valuable.As the powerhouses with the Marciais Combat Form fell one after another, in the end, only Faela and Feyre were left in the void.“He has entered the Eighth Xaeclon Rank. It’s our turn to push him one last time.” Faela looked at Feyre. “Let’s do it together. If there is another life, let’s be best friends again.”
