With unwavering determination, James and Zella swiftly traversed the realm of the past. As they approached a tangled intersection, James dispatched dozens of his Primordial Spirits to navigate the way ahead. Any past forms that blocked their path were either bypassed or swiftly eliminated without hesitation.
The Primordial Spirits surged forward, moving through the River of Time with formidable speed and force. After an indeterminate span of time, they converged in a vast, eerily silent star cluster shrouded in mist. This domain comprised thousands of enormous universes, interconnected by long purple-gold light bridges resembling a dense spider web. At the center stood a colossal universe with an impossibly tall cloud ladder, exuding divine splendor.
Zella remarked, “That should be the lair of the Waitara Path’s past form.”
“He certainly went to great lengths to hide here,” James mused, narrowing his eyes.
Zella cautioned, “I doubt it’s going to be easy. I’m afraid the real challenge has just begun.”
As they spoke, two figures emerged from the mist ahead. James recognized them as Yancy Quaid, the Behaterm Sect’s former leader, and Wylie Harriet, a Micro Genesis World ruler. Their expressions turned to surprise upon seeing James and Zella.
Yancy asked, “How did you end up here, Emperor Caden?”
Wylie also questioned, “Yeah? Shouldn't you be in Zymurgy?”
James frowned. Zella quickly acted, casting two amethyst-gold nets to trap Yancy and Wylie.
The two instantly panicked after being captured.
Yancy exclaimed, “What is this for, Emperor Caden?”
Wylie pleaded, “We’ve done nothing wrong. Why are you treating us like this?”
Wylie quickly added, “Yeah. We’ve entered the Great Historial Land, so this must be an alternate space there.”
James’ suspicions were confirmed. Neither Yancy nor Wylie’s past forms realized their current location or who controlled them. They were not puppets like Hetsema and Zella, but were actual past forms of his friends.
He continued with another question. “Tell me, who else do I know that is here?”
Wylie and Yancy listed numerous names, all familiar to James—his confidants, friends, and the grand patriarchs, as well as leaders of the Jademora Empire.
After listening to their responses, James turned to Zella.

"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. 😊...
