His body flashed, and he appeared before Jabari.
“Jabari.” He said.
Jabari immediately stood up and looked at James, saying smilingly, “James, how’s the comprehension going?”
James said, “I’m close. I have gained the right to break the fourteenth story’s spatial barrier. What about you?”
Jabari said, “I’m almost there. There are still some parts that I haven’t comprehended yet.”
“Why don’t you follow me? I will take you out of here.” James said.
“Nevermind.” Jabari shook his head and said, “These cultivation methods are very profound, considering they were left behind
since the Primordial Realm’s age. This will be very beneficial to me. The more I comprehend, the stronger I will be. I firmly
believe that I will reach the Ninth Stage Lord as long as I enter the eighteenth floor.”
“You should leave, James. The outside world needs you. The Dark World is full of malevolent beings from the Greater Realms.
They are watching the words and actions of the Dark World and even the Illuminated World from the shadows. I speculate that
Master keeps reincarnating because her strength has not yet returned to its pinnacle. As such, she fears these malevolent spirits
for she would die once discovered. By reincarnating constantly, she would prevent her true self from being discovered. Even if
she’s annihilated, her avatars still live on. That way, hope will not be extinguished. When you return to the outside world, be
careful of the malevolent beings from the Greater Realms that linger in the Dark World,” Jabari warned.
James, however, furrowed his eyebrows and said, “I have already been exposed. In fact, I have fought against some of these
malevolent beings.”
Hearing this, Jabari’s expression turned grim as he warned once more, “You have to be on your guard. Based on what you said,
perhaps Master purposely exposed you so that you would tie down the forces of these malevolent beings from the Greater
Realms in the Dark World. That way, she would have time to set up her defenses.”
James nodded and said, “In any case, I will be careful. I won’t linger here for long. I will head to the next story and leave this
place as soon as possible. I wait for you outside. Then, we will fight shoulder to shoulder, back to back.”
“Alright,” Jabari replied.
Then, James’ body flashed, and he appeared in the sky and catalyzed the cultivation methods, Supernatural Powers, and secret
arts he comprehended in the fourteenth story in combination with his power to forcibly break the spatial barrier.
In the next instant, he was already on the fifteenth floor. The higher up he went, the fewer living beings there were. There were
only a few hundred living beings here. Though their numbers were few, their strength was formidable, and they were at least at
the Lord Rank’s Fifth Stage.
“Finally, another one.”
“It’s been so long. There’s finally another guy here on the fifteenth floor.”
“Indeed... Thousands of Epochs have passed since another living being appeared.”
“I’m bored to death. Finally, some entertainment.”
...
The moment James appeared, he could sense many gazes fixed on him. He even sensed the presence of battle intent.
He furrowed his eyebrows.
Swish!
A light flickered, and a man appeared before him. Wearing a mischievous grin on his face, he asked, “What’s your name, kid?
Where do you come from?”
The person’s strength was strong, and he exuded a powerful aura. He cracked his knuckles, seemingly on the verge of resorting
to violence.
