“The situation has gotten trickier for us, James.” Wiktor looked at him intently.
“The release of the unorthodox sectsʼ and factionsʼ men, especially, could bring utter chaos and destruction unilaterally to those in Zymurgy and all living beings.
“They would still cause a ruckus at Zymurgy even if you didnʼt join them…”
“Who was it that had released the unorthodox sectsʼ and factionsʼ men?” James interrupted yet again, “Have you guys looked into it? Was Xanthakos involved in it?”
Wiktor shook his head. “Um… We are still investigating that. Now…”
“That’s the problem.” James said monotonously, “Will you guys truly ever be able to do that?
“The Five Path Emperors have the highest status and power in Zymurgy currently. Can you really find out which of them are the bad guys under such conditions?
“Even if you did, would the group of you have the ability and determination to exterminate those men?”
James’ questions rendered Wiktor speechless.
“During my journey to perfect my cultivation, I’ve made many friends.” James continued, “However, I still hold on to my beliefs even now.
“I would rather rely on myself instead of others to achieve my goals. Also, I’d rather refine my skills and powers than dwell on what others tell me what I should do.”
Wiktor smiled wryly. He had thought about what to say before coming here. However, Wiktor knew from the moment he met James that his preparation was pointless.
After a brief pause, he conjured a halved orb shining with the Wama Divine Light on his hand.
James spotted the object and frowned slightly.
“I know I can’t convince someone such as you who has a firm belief.” Wiktor looked up from the orb. “Therefore, I would like to propose a deal using this pearl.
“You probably recognize it since you already have Xyloria Tai Chiʼs, Xyloria Tirtaʼs, and Xyloria Taishiʼs pearls. You’re still short of two out of the Five Spirits.”
“That’s half of a pearl?” James narrowed his eyes.
“My master needs the other half to help monitor things at the Forty-Ninth Heaven for now. That’s only reasonable, right?”
Wiktor responded, “Besides, Xyloria Taishi, Tirta, and Tai Chi have all perished. On the contrary, my master is still alive.
James was someone who would live by his discipline and do what he felt was right. He believed in the importance of having great power.
Wiktor sighed again. “I’ll modify the terms, then. In exchange for the pearl, I will secretly bring you to the Forty-Ninth Heaven.
“You can find the answers to the questions you have all this while.”
James simply smiled and said nothing.
Just then, the Taishiʼs Primordial Spirit Tablet floating in the air shone brightly with colorful lights.
The lights dimmed and disappeared a few seconds later. Curiously, the tablet had transformed into a dull, ordinary rock.
Judging by what had happened, James could tell that Silver had successfully entered the Great Historial Land. She also took the Primordial Spirit Tablet with her.
With that, Zymurgy had lost Taishi for good.
Meanwhile, Wiktor let out a deep sigh. “Congratulations, James. You’ve earned Taishiʼs full support. However, I must remind you that the only way to resolve the crisis…”

"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. 😊...
