The Almighty Dragon General

James was not interested in discussing Wynton.
Regardless of how strong Wynton was, he only existed in the distant past. James would never be able to encounter Wynton in
his own era.
His main priority now was to get out of the cave.
“Is it possible to leave this place?” James looked at Yardos.
Yardos looked at James, and shook his head. ‘That’ll be impossible for you. Your Paths have already been removed, and your
Path Powers are gone. To leave the holy site, you must have a profound understanding of various Paths and unyielding mental
fortitude. You have no chance of leaving this place.”
James sat on the ground helplessly.
The second trial was much more challenging than the previous trial.
Despite his frustration, James took a deep breath and said, ” I have hope I can do this so long as I’m alive.”
James sat into a lotus position.
‘So what if my Paths were severed? I’ll just cultivate them all over again.”
With a thought, James summoned the Primal Mantra. The book flipped open before him, and the most archaic
inscriptions emerged from it.
Previously, James was proficient in various Paths and could easily understand the inscriptions in the Primal Mantra.
After his Paths were severed, the inscriptions became too complex for him to read.
He simply could not make heads or tails of it. As soon as his eyes swept over them, the characters suddenly became blurry, and
he felt a sharp pain in his head and soul. Unable to bear it, James crashed to the ground and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
The Primal Mantra also fell to the ground.
Yardos glanced at the Primal Mantra. The Primal Path Master had not created the Primal Mantra during this era. Thus, he was
unable to recognize it.

Despite that, Yardos could tell the inscriptions used inside the Primal Mantra were extremely meaningful.
“You no longer have any Paths and won’t be able to read such profound inscriptions. You’ll have to start over and
take some time to develop your Ousias again. Repeating this process might be beneficial for you, but you’ll need to have a
breakthrough before your body gives up on you.”
After Yardos left some words of advice for James, he stopped speaking and continued to sit in a lotus position.
A powerful aura rose from him and formed a halo that was several meters high.
James exclaimed, ‘Th-The Omniscience Path’s Ninth
Stage?”
Yardos had reached the Omniscience Path’s Ninth Stage, and his cultivation base was at the peak of the Terra Acme Rank.
Despite possessing such great strength, he was still not confident he could defeat Wynton.
“Yes, I recently entered the Omniscience Path’s Ninth Stage.”
Yardos sat in a lotus position on the ground and said despondently, “However, if Wynton and I were in the same rank, this
wouldn’t be enough to beat him. To defeat him, I’ll need to take a different path.”
Upon hearing this, James suddenly recalled something.
‘A different path? Is he referring to the Blithe Omniscience? Did he create that Supernatural Power here?’ thought James.
James did not say much despite having his suspicions.
While observing Yardos cultivate, James also focused on his own cultivation. He started from the most basic step of cultivation-
absorbing Empyrean Spiritual Energy and converting it into his own power.
Since James was at the Omniscience Path’s Eighth Stage, he had outstanding physical strength and could quickly absorb
Empyrean Spiritual Energy.
Soon, James reached the pinnacle of the Sage Rank.
“What’s your goal?”

James heard Yardos’ voice reverberating in his ears.
“My goal?”
After a brief moment of hesitation, James replied, “I want to live happily in seclusion with the woman I love and to be unburdened
by worldly matters. However, there is too much to do, and I don’t have the luxury of freedom.”
