The Almighty Dragon General

There were some differences between the living beings of the Dark World and the Illuminated World. The moment a living being
of the Illuminated World stepped into the Dark World, his presence would immediately be detected. This meant that the living
beings of the Illuminated World would have a tough time moving around in the Dark World.
“What happened?” Jabari asked puzzledly.
James fell into deep contemplation. After some time, he said, “Back then, you sacrificed yourself and performed Blossoming the
Forbidden Art...”
James began to narrate the past events — from Jabari’s death, the Fourth Calamity on Earth, Thea becoming the Ancestral God
Rank Elixir, resolving the crisis of the Fourth Calamity, using the Time Capsule to return to the Primeval Age in search of Thea,
the creation of the Thirteenth Universe, his death in the Thirteenth Universe, his cultivation of Chaos, his return to this age, his
journey to the First Universe, his encounter with Sienna Callahan, and him teaching the Path in the Twelfth Universe before
finally arriving at the Dark World. James narrated all the events that happened in the past.
“I came here to the Dark World with two objectives in mind. One, I came here in search of Yukia Dearnaley to learn more about
this world. Two, I came here searching for you. I detected your presence in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the Dark World.
Then, I found your aura in the Xaadsans. There, I learned that you had escaped to the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone, hence my
appearance.”
James narrated the events that occurred at the Xaadsans.
“Nonsense!” Xulia berated James.
James knew that events did not transpire as people say. He knew that Jabari had no interest in gaining power. So why would he
be involved in so many conspiracies just to be the Patriarch of the Xaadsans?
Jabari said, “That’s not true. Xulia and I met as we trained together. We overcame many obstacles together. In the end, she
brought me to the Xaadsans where I stayed for some time. The Xaadsans are a huge family. As such, they have many internal
conflicts. Though Xulia’s father is the Patriarch, many people are disgruntled. My appearance instilled a sense of urgency and
danger in them. If they allow me to grow further, Xulia’s bloodline will be able to have complete control of the Xaadsans. So, they
concocted a plot to frame me and Xulia. As I was poisoned, I was no match for them. So, I could only escape alongside Xulia.”
Jabari briefly explained the chain of events that occurred.
“Mhm.” James nodded slightly and said, “We just have to annihilate them once we leave the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone.”

James said nonchalantly for he could not care less about the Xaadsans.
“By the way...” James looked at Jabari and said, “We entered a palace together when we were in the Dark World back then. The
palace was left behind by Yukia, and you used a Guqin to decipher the message she left behind. What exactly did she leave
behind? Why did you tell me that you intend to follow Yukia’s footsteps in the Dark World when you died?”
James came searching for Jabari because he wanted to learn more about Yukia.
Hearing this, Jabari’s expression turned grim as he glanced at James. He already knew about these things long ago. However,
as James was still weak back then, he did not wish to shoulder him with an unnecessary burden. That was why he chose to keep
this a secret from him.
Now, James was already a powerful individual.
Ever since Jabari entered the Dark World, the providence he encountered was bountiful, and his strength increased drastically.
Though he only entered the Dark World for about an Epoch, he was already a Sixth Stage Lord. Even so, he could not see
through James’ cultivation base.
James had told him about his cultivation of Chaos, his journey to the First Universe, and his preaching of the Path in the Twelfth
Universe. Yet, he did not tell him anything about his mastery of cultivation.
“James, what’s your cultivation base at the moment?” Jabari asked.
James answered truthfully, “I’m no longer in any rank. My strength should be equivalent to a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral
God or a Ninth Stage Lord. Perhaps I have surpassed even that.”
Jabari took a deep breath. Even Xulia beside him was stunned by James’ rank.
He said, “At your rank, you certainly have the right to learn of this information. I shall now tell you the whole truth. However, you
need to brace yourself. What I’m about to tell you will completely change your understanding of this world.”
“Mhm, I understand.”
James was desperate to know what had Yukia left behind. Not only that, but he was also curious to know what had happened
before the Illuminated World was created and the events that occurred in the Dark World.”
