James asked with a frown, “Why?”
Lyla sighed and replied, “We’ve run some investigations. There are already two powerhouses above the Fifth Xaeclon Rank in the Genesis Worlds. They’re called Tai Chi Messengers. Even if I entered the Xaeclon Rank, it wouldn’t change our situation. I’ll just be wasting the Forladtt Land’s limited resources.
“Instead, it’d be better to use the resources on training up people to the Quasi Daeclon Rank. By doing so, at least we’ll have a greater chance of defending our home.”
James laughed after hearing her answer. Lyla had stayed inside the Forladtt Land, protecting it for so long, and was oblivious to the outside world’s situation.
He promptly explained the current trends of the Genesis Worlds after he had left Yin’s Void.
Lyla looked at him in shock and asked, “In other words, there aren’t any more powerhouses at the Xaeclon Rank out here? Then, what heights have you reached in your cultivation?”
James replied smilingly, “I’m at the Fifth Xaeclon Rank. Although I’m still far from Tai Chi, I’m strong enough to stand my ground in the Genesis Worlds.”
Lyla took a deep breath, startled by the sudden revelation. She was not expecting James to have returned so powerful.
James continued, explaining, “The Genesis Worlds’ Righteous Alliance, New Alliance, and Gladwin’s faction are at war right now. They won’t have the time to be bothered with us.”
“I created a Sky Bridge to reopen a passage between the Dark World and the Forladtt Land. Skynet is also connected between the two. Most importantly, I’ve gained the Law of Paths permission to establish a Heavenly Path here.
“From now on, the Forladtt Land will no longer be a place without the baptism of Heavenly Tribulation. We’ll have a Tribulation Envoy from the Law of Paths.
“However we must be careful. The Tribulation Envoy isn’t easy to talk to, but will be fairer than Tai Chi. Everything will based on karma and tribulations.”
She declined to accept the golden body, fearing it would place her at a disadvantage and disrupt the hard-earned balance of the empire.
James could not help but marvel at the rarity of a woman with such confidante, strong character, and foresight.
Lyla said, “Store away the golden body for me," Lyla sighed softly. "Keep it safe for me. There will come a time when I’ll need it, but that time is not now. I shall ring the bell and summon the legion commanders and sect leaders for a meeting.”
After speaking, Lyla waved her hand and a massive golden bell appeared in the void. Then, she unleashed a golden light, causing the bell to emit a brilliant radiance and its chimes to resound throughout the Forladtt Land.
James stored away the golden body and watched surprisedly. He commented, “Compared to the Yuraeceon Genesis Bell, it may be weaker but it’s still an exceptional spiritual tool.”
“The Celestial Sages gifted it to me out of consideration for their friendship with you,” Lyla said smilingly, then unleashed a golden light to ring the bell again.

"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. 😊...
