“You are the most suitable among the Five Chosen Ones to become the Supreme Path.” Wesley stared at James. “With such talent, how could I easily let you go, allowing you to indulge in love affairs and betray the expectations of countless living beings across the myriad realms?”Upon hearing this, Zeux and Beatrice looked at James. It seemed as if they understood Wesley’s intentions. They were nervous and feared that the hopes they held in their hearts might go to waste if James were to fly into a rage and harm Wesley.James let out a sigh and shook his head. “As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. My aspirations do not lie here...”“Franciscus, Yianni, Emperor Yarden, Chuba, and Zemra have passed on their legacies to you.” Wesley interrupted James. “They imparted their lifelong learnings to you even in their spirit, all for the sake of fulfilling your love affairs and seeking revenge for your wife?”James fell silent.Wesley raised his voic
“I admire your unwavering devotion and your intellectual and valorous talents. I also appreciate your ability to seize opportunities and understand chances. However, being the Chosen One does not contradict your unwavering devotion. We have never asked you to become desireless and aimless,” Wesley looked at James and spoke with sincerity. He continued, “In person, you are a brother and successor to many of my close friends. Recommending you as the Chosen One is also my contribution. In public, your talents, decisiveness in battle, benevolence, kindness, Daoism and noble aspirations have the potential to rectify the current shortcomings in the Greater Realms.“In both personally and publicly, as the Law of Paths, I have not abandoned the reasons to endorse you for the Supreme Path, nor have I relinquished the right to see your progress. In broader terms, this is for the sake of all living beings in the myriad realms. In smaller terms, it is also for the lifelong expectations of me an
“Something is not right!” James exclaimed, his eyes widening.“What’s not right?” Wesley asked nervously.James waved his hand at him and immediately transmitted his voice to Lesia, “Lesia, are you awake?”“Yes, but I still need a long time to recover.” Lesia’s voice came again. “Master, now is not the time to worry about me. Wesley is crucial to you. He is the only bridge connecting you to Zymurgy and the various powers of the Forty-Ninth Heaven. He is also among the twenty-five supreme gods in Zymurgy who support and stand by you the most.“If he is truly destroyed, then the entire Zymurgy will inevitably be swayed by the followers of Emperor Qadeer. Even with your achievement of the Three Treasures and Five Spirits, you will ultimately become the second Morgott.“Don’t forget, among the Five Primal Evolutions, although Xyloria Tai Chi, Tirta, and Silver have fallen, Xyloria Taichu and Xyloria Taiyi are still there.”James’ heart shook upon hearing this. He knew the importance
“I’ll fulfill your conditions.” Wesley looked at James. “Now, it’s your turn.”James acted decisively. He shot out an Innate Energy that trapped Xever within the Three Treasures Formation and threw him in front of Wesley.“One more thing,” Wesley said impatiently. “Don’t try to deceive me.”With a grunt, James tossed out Cyril, who had both arms and legs severed.“You even want a cripple?” Wesley asked rhetorically. “You have seen the power of the sword within the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword. Being wounded by it takes a long time to heal, and even a severed limb requires recasting the Golden Body. You must use it cautiously.”James exclaimed, “Are you leaving?”“Do you want to invite me to drink at the Great Historial Land?” Wesley countered.James replied, “Yes.”Wesley spat. “You wish! I won’t fall for it. Remember our agreement, cunning kid.”With that, he twisted both Xever and Cyril into a sacred radiation and soared into the sky. It was not until then that Zeux and Beatrice
“That’s right. Stick right next to him.” Beatrice pointed to Raquel and said, “You will follow and serve him starting today. “You are to obey his every command, no matter how harsh or dangerous they can be. Even if he tries to beat you to death, you are not allowed to resist or fight back.” Raquel had a look of bewilderment on her face. She could hardly believe her ears. James was about to object to the notion when Beatrice waved her hand dismissively to stop him. “I know you are fiercely loyal to your wife, James. Even if it’s just a fling with another lady, it’s probably considered unacceptable in your relationship. “However, you don’t have to worry. My disciple is obedient, quick-witted, and kind. You can just keep her around as your servant. “If you do happen to take a liking to her, you can always make her your mistress later on.” James dropped his jaw upon hearing those absurd remarks. Similarly, Raquel was staring at Beatrice with bulging eyes. Her master’s sugge
Suddenly, Thea pinched his earlobe and pulled hard. “Ack!” James yelped. “What were you looking at?” Thea asked in a low voice, “Should I strip myself so that you could compare us?” “No! No!” James hurriedly waved his hands. “You can punish her as much as you want since she’s your captive now. So, why don’t we discuss urgent matters first?” “Are there matters that are more urgent than you ogling Yehria and fantasizing about sex with her?” Thea raised her brows. James knew he had to explain himself. He closed his eyes. “Honey, you can’t say that. “I am a healthy, normal man. Wouldnʼt it be abnormal if I didnʼt look at beautiful women at all?” Thea was rendered speechless by his response. James grinned. “However, looking at beautiful women doesnʼt mean that I will make a move on them. “I am loyal to my wife. My heart is forever yours.” Thea chuckled as she watched how James’ face suddenly became animated. She lifted her hand and transferred Yehria to her storage s
James heaved a deep breath and looked up to the sky. He knew Thea better than anyone else in the world. Her biggest concern was not about something measly like him not wanting to do this. Instead, she was probably afraid of losing her current self after fusing with the Light Heavenly Path to become the Yin governor. Whether it was her or the Light Heavenly Path, they were both forced to go through reincarnation. Their emotions and desires were removed. They experienced various things while eventually becoming the Heavenly Paths again. No one could tell what would happen if they were to fuse two people with different hearts and minds to make one again. Moreover, the Yin governor was born an Alcide being. According to Emperor Yardenʼs theories, the returned Yin governor would lose all her past consciousness. In that case, James might lose Thea for good once she became the Yin governor. It was the outcome both James and Thea feared the most. Thea sighed. “It’s a little
“You can put away the Three Treasures Formation already.” Morgott adjusted his robe and sat on the floor. “Xanthakos wonʼt come here.” Jamesʼ brows arched. He learned from Chuba and Zemra that Morgott was the only living being who had the experience of battling Emperor Qadeer. Naturally, Morgott would know more about Xanthakos. James lifted his hand and undid the Three Treasures Formation. As the view switched, they could see how everything in their surroundings had been reduced to rubble. Even the Thirty-Third Heavenʼs landmark, the Tai Chi Grand Temple, was completely obliterated. “Let me have a sip of your Chaos Absinthe. I need to calm down for a bit.” Morgott stretched his palm out toward James. James chuckled. “I was always the one who would ask others for free drinks. “Besides, can you have the Chaos Absinthe at your current level of cultivation?” Morgott clicked his tongue. “Consider this as a favor to me. Once we make it to the Forty-Ninth Heaven, Iʼll treat
