The Almighty Dragon General

James released his Divine Sense. He discovered the monsters had powers but no consciousness of their own, seemingly
controlled by a mysterious force.
Boom!!!
Several of the monsters began to attack the formation around the city.
The formation was relatively strong and managed to withstand the attacks. However, a few cracks had formed from the impact.
Suddenly, eight elderly men appeared in the sky above the city. They quickly moved into different positions and began to repair
the formation with all their strength, hoping it could resist the wave of monsters.
James sensed that the eight elderly men were powerhouses at the late stage of the Caelum Acme Rank,
He stood on the city wall, touched his chin, and murmured,” Is this a made-up illusion or an event of the past that is being
projected into the trial? Did someone record this past event and use it as one of the Supreme Illusion’s trials?”
Despite having grown into a considerable powerhouse, James could not figure out the truth.
“You over there! What are you doing?” a voice shouted at James.
Immediately afterward, a soldier wearing golden armor and holding a broadsword walked over to him.
He scolded James, “It’s dangerous here! Return into the city and take refuge.”
“Okay,” James replied casually.
After being chased away, James returned to the city.
Although he had jumped off the city wall, he still paid attention to the situation outside the city.
He discovered the city’s formation was not for defense but was capable of attacking the monsters. As the eight elderly men
poured their strength into the formation, they activated powerful Sword Energies. The Sword Energies shot at the monsters
outside the city, taking out a few.
“Based on the formation’s defensive capabilities, it should be able to last for a few years against these monsters.”

James was proficient in formations and could easily analyze the formation’s strength. Since it could hold on for a while, he
temporarily put the issue of the monsters aside.
Finding out why these monsters were attacking the city was much more crucial.
He let out his Divine Sense again, scanning throughout the entire city. Soon, James found the city’s core region was a spiritual
mountain with abundant Empyrean Spiritual Energy in the center.
At that moment, the city’s strongest cultivators had
gathered for a discussion.
James knew he had to go to the city’s core region to learn more about the monsters to repel them.
He activated the Blithe Omniscience and disappeared from the area. He reemerged at the foot of a spiritual mountain in the city’s
center.
Ahead of him was a huge stone tablet with words engraved on it, reading-Mount Taerl.
“Mount Taerl? That’s an interesting name.”
James took a glance at the stone tablet and continued advancing.
When he reached the stone tablet, several fully armed soldiers appeared and barricaded him, saying, “Beyond this point is
Mount Taerl’s holy site. Outsiders aren’t permitted entry.”
James looked at them and found they were powerhouses at the peak of the Macrocosm Ancestral God’s Ninth Stage and were
only one step away from becoming Quasi Acmeans.
He said indifferently, “Hurry up and report to the highest authority here that James is requesting to meet him.”
“James?”
“Who’s this guy?”
“I’ve never heard of him before.”

The soldiers were dumbfounded. They were guards of Mount Taerl and had heard of almost all the powerhouses in the city.
However, this was the first time they had heard of his name.
“If you don’t leave immediately, we won’t show mercy.”
One of the guards issued a warning.
James did not bother convincing them. He disappeared from their sight and ascended to the mountain peak, arriving directly
outside of the main hall.
