The Celestial Sages appeared with James in a mysterious restricted area at Skynet Headquarters.“This is a restricted area, outsiders are not allowed in,” Celestial Sage explained to James.Earthly Sage added, “The Tirta Grand Formation is enveloping us now. Even the Grand Patriarch’s Zen cannot be utilized.”James nodded in understanding, then sighed lightly, “I presume you two have some expectations for the upcoming situation.”At his words, the Celestial Sages exchanged a glance, both nodding simultaneously.They had initially thought James sent away his trusted disciples to prevent them from being involved in the impending trouble. However, James’ attitude toward the Truett couple confused them. They wondered why James treated it as more than just a calamity, almost like settling affairs. Thus, they voiced their perplexity.After listening, James smiled faintly. “Do you inquire at the behest of Yegor and Herodias, or is it your own curiosity?”The Celestial Sages were moment
The Celestial Sages exchanged a glance, then spoke simultaneously, “Shoot.”James said solemnly, “The first matter is that you must guard the newlywed spiritual mountain where Truett and Xitlaly reside. They’re not to step out, regardless of what happens outside.”At his words, the Celestial Sages simultaneously furrowed their brows.Earthly Sage asked, “And the second matter?”“Please take care of my children and Maxine Caden.” James’ expression turned grave. “I hope you can ensure their safety in crucial moments.”Upon hearing this, Celestial Sage’s face darkened. “They’re favored by Yegor and Lady Herodias. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to them seeks death.”“We promise you.” Earthly Sage fixed her gaze on James. “What’s the third matter?”“The third matter,” James sighed lightly. “When necessary, I hope you can lend a hand to the Forladtt Land, protecting the living beings in the Dark World.”At this, the Celestial Sages were startled.They had not expected James’ t
Seeing this scene, a Grand Patriarch with white temples sitting beside Lady Herodias suddenly chuckled and said, “The younger generations nowadays are becoming more and more audacious. They dare to be so bold and ruthless.”“Well, you can’t say it like that, Sir Stefan.” Another Grand Patriarch with red hair chuckled and said, “They each lead a sect now, how can they develop if they don’t compete?”The words of the red-haired Grand Patriarch immediately resonated with the other Grand Patriarchs present, who nodded one after another.“The Genesis World has always been a world of survival of the fittest. With limited resources, it’s natural that the strong are respected.”“We’ve fought our way up like this all along. Otherwise, could we have what we have now?”“The younger generation’s hot-bloodedness is understandable. Let them play.”“It seems that both the Yaquis Holiness and Gladwin have comparable cultivation bases. This battle between them is quite intriguing.”“These two jun
“If that evildoer obtains the Ultimate Golden Body, won’t the Genesis World be plunged into catastrophe?”“Let’s wait for the right moment to settle the score. No rush for now.”Listening to the whispered conversations of the powerhouses, the Grand Patriarchs sitting on either side of Yegor and Lady Herodias exchanged glances, their eyes revealing hidden meanings.Meanwhile, James sat down beside Dark Thea, nodding slightly towards her.“It seems someone still appreciates me.” Dark Thea smiled charmingly. “Well, with so many guests coming and going today, there must be a few normal ones, right?”With that, she raised her glass of Qhairos towards James. “Let’s drink to outshine these old dogs.”A stunned silence fell over everyone. However, James smiled calmly and raised his glass in response.At that moment, Dark Thea suddenly grabbed his hand. “This is how we should drink.”With that, she intertwined her hand with James’, tilting her head back to finish her drink. This was a c
Dark Thea and James released their grip and watched the dozen or so transcendent powerhouses, who seemed eager to try their luck. Both of them simultaneously furrowed their brows.“What’s this? Are you all bothered by us having a drink?” Dark Thea sneered. “Madam Savannah, are you envious because there’s a handsome man beside me?“If you have some romantic inclinations, you could also grab a few good-looking guys to accompany you for drinks and indulge in some revelry, even taste what it’s like to be with a man.”The scene erupted into a commotion as soon as these words were spoken.James could only sigh in speechless amusement. When Thea got mischievous, she could anger a bunch of powerhouses without even trying, because her resentment was always brimming.“This is utterly outrageous!” roared Savannah. “You are harlot, demoness, shameless and depraved! You wreaked havoc in the Genesis World countless times, and now you dare to come to the feast of Yegor and Lady Herodias to caus
Yegor and Lady Herodias exchanged a glance, both revealing a wry smile.“Outrageous!” The red-haired Grand Patriarch glared at Yegor and Lady Herodias. “You two are the hosts. We’re all esteemed guests invited by you. Can you allow such atrocities to happen before you?”His words immediately struck a chord with the surrounding Grand Patriarchs, who began clamoring.“Yegor and Lady Herodias, we will take action if you don’t intervene.”“Such madness cannot be tolerated!”“This evildoer is too arrogant. This is simply intolerable!”“We usually don’t bother with her, but today’s situation is unbearable!”Listening to the Grand Patriarchs’ declarations, Yegor and Lady Herodias exchanged another glance. Just as they were about to speak, a resounding roar echoed from outside the Telhervo Hall. “Evildoer, come out and return my Historial Core!”Hearing this voice, the enraged Grand Patriarchs were momentarily stunned.James whispered, “Who’s this now?”“The Core God, the Tool God,
Yegor and Lady Herodias calmly rose from their seats as they could see how displeased the grand patriarchs were. Yegor began in a steely voice, “Everyone, James is an important guest of mine. He’s also Truett and Xitlaly’s matchmaker. We do not wish to see any of you giving him a hard time.” “All of you are famous and respectable figures.” Lady Herodias frowned slightly. “Isn’t it a little inappropriate for you all to pick a fight with a young cultivator like him?” As the grand patriarchs and other guests were about to make their retort, the noises of Dark Thea fighting with the three mysterious cultivators came in through the door. Those men were shocked and livid when they saw how Dark Thea effortlessly dealt with her opponents. “Mr. Caden!” The red-haired grand patriarch turned his eyes to James. “We want to borrow your divine tools as we need them to remove that evildoer for good! So, how could you selfishly decline our request?” A lady cultivator let out a scoff. “He’s
Then, Xaiden turned around and strode toward the door. The other grand patriarchs and cultivators quickly followed him out of the Telhervo Hall as well. Mattaniah snorted. “How can they act so brazenly?” “They have always been like this.” Yegor said frigidly, “On the surface, they are the virtuous and respected grand patriarchs belonging to different sects. You’ll see they are all hypocrites when the situation involves something they are after.” Herodias cast her gaze at James. “You won’t be able to stop them since there are too many of their men here today, James. “The three of us can protect you from these men. However, we won’t be able to do the same for her since she’s made too many enemies up to this point.” James smiled faintly. “Lady Herodias, I am grateful for your help, and I understand that you are all in a tough spot now. I’ve given this serious thought. The worst thing that can happen is just me dying and losing all my powers.” Mattaniahʼs brows lifted. “Do you
