In the huge Zazen Palace, James stood before a lifelike portrait. As he stared at the elder in the portrait wearing a red robe and stepping on huge waves with a red halo on his head, the Decachrome Holy Light in his eyes changed rapidly.
A while later, red power erupted in the portrait. It engulfed James instantly.
In that instant, James felt so overwhelmed that his Ultimate Golden Body was baptized by the waves. Thus, the two Quintessential Hearts in his body were purified. Then, they upgraded to two Nonusential Hearts. His red hair returned to black instantly. His terrifying aura changed and was entirely hidden.
After the light dissipated, James, who was tall and had long legs, was dull. He didn’t have the slightest fluctuation in power.
Zenda was standing behind James and covered her mouth in shock. “It’s the Nonusential Heart. It’s one of the Five Energies. It hides one’s spirit in the heart.”
James didn’t answer her. Instead, he stared at the portrait. The lifelike elder had disappeared. Two lines of red words were left behind. They exuded Holy Light.
“If you have the intention to do good, you won’t be rewarded even though you’re kind.”
“If you do evil without intention, you won’t be punished even though you do evil.”
After reading the two lines of red words, James put his hands behind his back and sighed. “This cultivation rank is much higher than the Law of Paths.”
Then, he turned around and looked at Zenda. “Who’s the elder in the portrait?”
“It’s Cassian Zahir, our ancestor.” Respectfully, Zenda said, “He’s Emperor Yarden’s seventh disciple. He used to be the Purifying God in Zymurgy. But because he was upset with the divine beings meddling with the living beings as it went against Emperor Yarden’s theory, he left. Then, he created Zazen Temple in the Great Historial Land.”
Upon hearing that, James narrowed his eyes. “Do you remember when we first met?”
James frowned. “Is Yehria one of them too?”
“They allied and recommended her to Zymurgy.” Zenda sighed and said, “We don’t know what kind of interest exchange they had with Zymurgy. Anyway, after the death of Tai Chi, Yehria took over Tai Chi’s position.”
When James heard that, he frowned. “Yehria is in the Soma Daeclon Rank. Does she need their recommendation? Is there a powerhouse in the Daeclon Mahayana Rank among them?”
“That’s impossible.” Zenda said helplessly, “The strongest powerhouse among the Holy Temples is Adina. She’s close to the Soma Daeclon Rank. How can Yehsia, a living being, reach the Soma Daeclon Rank so soon?”
“What happened then?” James asked.
Enunciating each word, Zenda said, “From what I heard, when they recommended Yehria, she was only in the Yitro Daeclon Rank. She has the cultivation of the Soma Daeclon Rank because she became Tai Chi. She must have reached that rank after integrating Tai Chi Power.”

"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. 😊...
