The Almighty Dragon General

After they walked for around an hour or so, they saw a swampy area in front of them. The area was huge. Enormous bubbles
appeared from the surface. Once they floated into the air, they burst into miasmas of unpleasant gas.
James looked at the map again. The map recorded that this area is a dangerous one. The swampy area was filled with mystical
power. Any living being who crossed the area will be absorbed by this power into its depths. Once trapped within the area, it
would be extremely difficult to escape. In addition, there is an uncanny monster living in the swamps. This monster was very
skilled in attacking souls. It could create many mirages, trapping the living beings who passed by.
This meant nothing to James. He mastered the Five Great Paths, so crossing the swampy area was not a problem at all.
“James.” Right when James wanted to summon the Space Path so that space could divide itself across this area, Mia opened up
urgently and said, “James, there’s something I must say.”
James turned around, looked at her, and responded, “Yes?”
Mia answered, “Based on the information given by my ancestors,novelebook.com we have to complete a series of challenges
before arriving at the Palace. All the monsters that one encounters upon entering Mount Nothingness are the challenges set up
by the Lord of Nothingness. Avoiding these obstacles would render our entry to the Palace invalid.”
“What?” James was stupefied.
“Yes indeed,” Mia nodded and said, “This is information given by the living beings in this area to my ancestors, who were trapped
in numerous dangerous places within the mountain. These living beings were left here by the Lord of Nothingness to protect the
mountain and the Palace. In this swampy area, there’s a monster who could create mirages, trapping living beings within forever.
Anyone who lacks a strong cultivation heart would fall prey to these mirages easily.”
Upon hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows. The purpose of this journey of his was not the Palace nor the legacy of the
Lord of Nothingness. He was here merely to use its natural energy to cultivate, thus he simply has no reason to risk his life.
However, he was curious as to how the Macrocosm Ancestral God disappeared.
In one of the rumors he heard, the Dark World declared war on the Illuminated World, causing the Lord of Nothingness, who was
the Macrocosm Ancestral God to be completely eradicated. Another rumor had it that the Lord of Nothingness was killed by a
being materialized from his malicious thoughts.
The Dark Lotus within James’ body and his physical body were so intimately connected to this place that he could not resist the
temptation to find out what exactly was the link here.novelebook.com In all cases, the living beings of Mount Heavenly Path

would not be arriving here anytime soon. Even if they do manage to arrive at Mount Nothingness, they might not have the guts to
enter.
After some thought, James decided to test himself against the many challenges set up by the Lord of Nothingness and see
whether he would be able to find the Palace.
“Right,” James nodded and said, “If that’s the case, let’s give it a try,”
Hearing this, the group was ecstatic. The three had arrived at the swamp many times, but were afraid of facing the swamp’s
monster head-on and always sought a way to avoid it. However, now that James was willing to go through these obstacles one
by one, they were delirious. They had faith that following James would be their only way in finding the Palace.
“Please, do lead the way. We’ll follow you from behind. We put our lives in your hands. If you aren’t able to overcome this
obstacle, then the three of us will die here,” Mia said solemnly.
