Hadad appeared and gave James two choices.
He either had to marry Melinda or die.
Hadad was a Macrocosm Ancestral God and the Lord of the Twelfth Universe. He was not one for empty threats. If James were
to refuse the marriage with Melinda, he would definitely be killed.
After Hadad left, James began to think. ‘What should I do now?’
The whole situation left James feeling helpless. He traveled to the Primeval Age to find Thea. He never intended to get involved
in the Primeval Age’s torrid affairs, nor did he want to involve himself with anyone else here.
He had already broken Sienna’s heart and now, he was forced to get involved with Melinda.
More importantly, he even became Mount Nothingness’ Master, and promised to fulfill the Holy Master of Nothingness’ wishes.
All this would definitely pit him against Mount Heavenly Path in the future.
“This has gotten complicated.”
James gently massaged his temples. Then, he cleared his mind and left.
He walked through Mount Teva and saw many disciples. They all treated him with the utmost respect, and there was not a single
person he could confide his thoughts to.
Before James knew it, he had arrived outside of Winnie’s residence.
Winnie was Hadad’s disciple and held a very high status in Mount Heavenly Path. She was only below a few elders. She was
also given her own spiritual mountain to cultivate. On the spiritual mountain was a simple manor.
When James arrived outside Winnie’s residence, he found her cultivating. Sensing James’ presence, she immediately stopped.
“What brings you here?”
Since they were within Mount Heavenly Path, which was Hadad’s territory, Winnie did not dare address him with more familiarity.
She was afraid of exposing their relationship if she let slip that he was her father.
James nodded lightly and said, “Hadad came to see me. He gave me two options. I am to either marry Melinda or die.”
Winnie’s expression immediately became grim.
“It’s been a while since I joined Mount Heavenly Path. Although I’ve only met Hadad a few times, I know a bit about his
personality. He is a very shrewd person. You must’ve shown great potential, so if he can’t get you to submit to him, he’ll definitely
get rid of you. He’s trying to tie you to Mount Heavenly Path by marrying you with Melinda.”
James nodded. He was well aware of Hadad’s intentions.
Winnie looked at James and asked. “What do you plan to do?”
After a brief pause, James replied. “I’m not sure yet. Hadad didn’t set a date for the wedding, so I’ll take the opportunity to leave
Mount Heavenly Path and train outside for some time.”
Winnie frowned and said, “You want to train outside? Where are you planning to go? Mount Heavenly Path is the core of this
universe. Where can you possibly escape to?”
James said, “I’m not trying to escape. I merely want to train outside of Mount Heavenly Path. I’ve cultivated several Path Seals.
Karma already binds to a number of powerhouses in this age. I have to deal with them one by one.”
James already formulated a plan.
First, he would go to Mount Sword God.
The Ancestral Sword Master publicly announced that James was his disciple. Thus, he did not want to miss the opportunity to
improve his swordsmanship at Mount Sword God. He wanted to thoroughly comprehend the Ancestral Sword God’s techniques.
With the guidance of the Ancestral Sword Master, his swordsmanship would definitely improve tremendously. After that, he
planned to visit the Ancestral Talisman Master to study Curse Inscriptions.
