The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2297
As clouds blotted the sky, they gathered by the bonfire and gobbled down their meal as the
smell of succulent meat filled the air. Then, James took some spices he had obtained from the Celestial Abode and sprinkled
them on the roasted meat.
“Here you go.”
He handed Delainey and Henry a piece of meat each, and the three gobbled down the roasted meat.
As this was the meat of a monster at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair, it possessed great energy that served as
nourishment to cultivators. Although they could not compare to high- quality medicinal pills and elixirs, they were nonetheless
better than some low-quality ones. “This tastes delicious!”
As Henry ate, he asked, “When do you plan to return to Earth, James?”
James froze.
He wanted to return to Earth as soon as possible. However, what could he possibly do there? He would have to scurry about like
a rat for fear of being hunted down. Instead of returning a loser, it made better sense for him to cultivate in the Ancient Realm
and increase his strength.
He chomped on a piece of meat and said, “I’m not in a hurry for now. As I’m still no match for Yuvaan Zymir, the Sect Elder of the
Divinity Sect, there’s no point in returning now. I’ll only return once I’ve acquired strength equivalent to that of a cultivator in the
Mage Rank. By then, I’d surely be able to annihilate him.”
Saying that, he took a few bottles of wine from the Celestial Abode and handed one each to Delainey and Henry.
Soon, they finished their meal.
James said, “This meat is good stuff. We shouldn’t let it go to waste. Let’s head over to the monster’s carcass and salvage
whatever we can find there.”
James stood up and headed toward the valley.

As the monster was gigantic, he could acquire a huge amount of meat despite the monster’s body having been crushed to
pieces.
The Primordial Dragon Blade appeared in James’ hand, and he began carving up the meat into tiny pieces. Then, he waved his
arm, and True Energy materialized to envelop the pieces of meat, transporting them to the Celestial Abode.
“Let’s get going.”
After he was done dealing with the meat, the three continued on their journey.
Mount Walvern was ginormous. It was considerably bigger than Earth’s surface area. It was where monsters resided, each of
them having a territory of their own.
It was not long before they encountered another monster. This time, it was an Aethon, the hegemon of the skies.
“James, that’s an Aethon. Sophie told me that they’re the descendants of the Primordials, and they possess the bloodline of the
Primordial Race. This Aethon should be at the Immortal Ascension’s Seventh Stair.”
The three looked at the gigantic bird before them.
While Henry and Delainey were in the Celestial Abode, they received guidance from Sophie, who not only taught them cultivation
methods but also new knowledge.
“It’s too weak.”
James said, “Let’s not waste time on this monster. We can enter the top ten just by annihilating a few monsters at the Immortal
Ascension’s Ninth Stair. In fact, we can enter the top three just by killing a Mage-Ranked monster.”
As James had a rough understanding of the other participants’ strengths, he knew they would not be able to annihilate any
monster at the Mage Rank even after joining forces.
Henry said, “Alright then, let’s continue our search.”
The three pressed on.
At the same time, many Patriarchs and Sect Elders were at the Divinity Sect, waiting patiently for a month to pass.
