The three of them encouraged James continuously, but James still had that defeated look on his face.
He looked at the three and said, “Thanks, but I’ll never give up. I’ll think of a way to leave this place. Oh right, have you met any living beings heading to the eighteenth space during your long stay here?”
All three of them shook their heads.
Yehosheva answered, “I was the first to arrive in the seventeenth space. Then the two of them came. You’re the fourth. I don’t know if anyone else came here before me, but after myself, nobody else headed towards the eighteenth space.”
James raised his head to look at the shapeless spatial barrier on top of him. The Sixth Stage of the Omniscience Path? This was going to be very difficult. He sat down with a thoughtful look on his face. He was pondering on how to step into the Fifth Stage of the Omniscience Path.
Shoosh! A flash of light appeared, bringing a small, red bird to the realm.
“Here comes another one.”
All of them looked at the bird. Its eyes were glimmering with curiosity as it stared at its surroundings. Seeing that the four living beings were gathered together, it fluttered its wings and appeared before them.
“Little birdie, I see you’ve joined the pack.”
James stood up immediately with joy. This bird was mystical. It knew many things, even the fact that the outer universe was birthed by Universe Seeds.
The bird’s appearance gave James hope.
“Wait,“ The bird was reminded of something and said to James, “Didn’t you seal the Light of Death in the outer realm? Why not use that Light to stimulate your body and see whether you can activate your body’s potential?”
James froze as he heard this. The bird said that any living being touched by the Light of Acme will die, yet it is letting him make this attempt. Yet, this was perhaps the only way out of his situation.
“I don’t see any other option open to me, so I’ll try. But you must guarantee my safety, I’m worried that something might go wrong,” James said as he looked at the bird.
The bird patted his chest and assured James, “Don’t worry. I’m here. There’ll surely be no accidents.”
James was worried about this assurance, but there was no other way around it, was there?

"Good things take time" Lol yeah, a hundred and fifty trillion years, apparently....
How was Sheldon Jame's first disciple? Wasn't the Black Eagle King the first? Where has he disappeared to all this time?...
Unbelievable... I thought James was rid of the annoying "honey, darling" Thea by going to the Demonic Realm, but now she's gone there too *puke*...
This Thea is the most narcissistic woman of all, constantly interrupting James's cultivation, getting in the way of his plans and slowing him down. He was well rid of her but the author went bonkers a few hundred chapters into the story and decided to pair her back with James.. Yuck!...
Thea doesn't deserve James, it so sad he loves her...
Thank you so much for all the effort. I love all the stories I've read. I hope to continue reading "The Almighty Dragon General" story. 😊...
