The Almighty Dragon General

James did not disclose the details of his plan.
He looked at Thea and said, “Thea, chaos is about to befall the Elixir Realm. You should leave first. Head back to the Eidolon
Realm and wait for me there. I’ll be back in a few thousand years.”
“James...”
Thea looked at James and said solemnly, “I’m no longer the young and naive girl that didn’t understand anything. I’m a powerful
cultivator right now—a Quasi-Emperor at the Ninth Tribulation. Besides, I also have the Four-Quadrant Art. Even if I go against a
Grand Emperor, I won’t go down so easily. I can stay to help you.”
Thea’s intention from the beginning was always to help James.
Her goal had remained the same since they were in Sol to the current catastrophes of the human race.
Even up to now, she hoped to fight beside James. Even if she were to die, she wanted to perish with him.
James replied solemnly, “I’ve learned that this Elixir Pavilion isn’t the one we’re looking for. Initially, I didn’t want to interfere with
the battle against the Sanctuary of Darkness. However, Emperor Jabari suspected that their target is us. That’s why I chose to
stay behind to fight.
“Listen to me, Thea. Leave first and continue gathering information about the Elixir Pavilion we need to find as well as the
Ancestral God Rank Elixir. A hundred thousand years might seem like a long time, but it’ll pass in the blink of an eye.”
Hearing this, Thea nodded and replied, “Alright. I’ll leave first.”
James looked at Xainte and said, “Go back with your mother.”
Xainte glanced at James and nodded silently.
“I finally got to see you after so long. At least let me stay a bit longer,” said Thea.
She finally reunited with James and did not want to separate so soon.
“Mhm.” James nodded.
After that, Thea temporarily stayed in the Elixir Mansion as well.

James initially planned to leave the Elixir Mansion and head toward the Desolateness Sanctuary. However, since Thea had
shown up, he wanted to spend some time with her.
The two were glued together for the entire stay. They had been separated for a long time, which made them treasure their time
together.
Thea stayed for about three months.
Three months later, in the courtyard, Thea took out the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword that James had previously handed to her and
said, “You should have it back for now. You’ll be in more danger than me. I’ll feel more at ease if you have the Crepe Myrtle
Divine Sword.”
“Alright.”
James nodded and accepted the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword.
Thea did not stay any longer and left.
The Martial Reverend and Xainte also left along with her.
After watching Thea leave, James took a deep breath and murmured, “It’s time I get moving as well.”
Jules and Monica walked into the courtyard after seeing Thea, Xainte, and the Martial Reverend leave.
“Are you really leaving, Mr. Caden? We don’t have long before the Elixir Pavilion’s disciple recruitment conference takes place.
How about you venture into the Desolateness Sanctuary after the conference?”
James smiled and said, “There are still two to three thousand years more before it occurs. That’s more than enough time. I’ll be
back as soon as possible before the conference.”
Since James insisted on leaving, Jules could not help it either.
“Then, I’ll send you off.”
Afterward, Jules accompanied James out of Sky City and headed toward Elixir City.
“Take care, Mr. Caden.”

Jules waved him farewell.
“Please be careful, Sir! I’ll be waiting for your safe return in the Elixir Pavilion!” Monica also waved at James.
James said smilingly, “Alright. You two should head back.”
With a flash, James disappeared from their sight.
The next moment, he was already in the starry universe.
Then, James said, “Emperor Jabari, could you help me open up a spatial passage to save some time?”
Suddenly, a trace of energy emerged from the Celestial Abide and sank into James’ body.
James immediately felt as if his whole body was rejuvenized.
