The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 7270

In the rough terrain beyond the Goyoan Temple's ruins, James stood at the cliff on a towering mountain summit. He quietly surveyed the vast expanse of the Goyo Daonus Realm World, resembling a solitary wolf lost in thought.

Suddenly, a flicker of black and white light behind him signaled the arrival of Taichu. She stood gracefully and waited for him to speak. Without turning, James said, "I owe you one."

Taichu replied calmly, "No, I'm indebted to you. A Xyloria Spirit Body is really rare. We're fortunate to have such an impressive successor." James joked, "Well, I guess you should be thankful to me."

Taichu stared at James and said, "I assume there is something you seek from me in exchange. Let's not beat around the bush. What is it you want?"

James turned around, locked eyes with her, and said firmly, "I want to integrate the Three Spirits. I hope you can aid me in the endeavor."

Taichu was taken aback by James' request, fully understanding the meaning behind it.

Seeing her silence, James sighed and said, "I understand my request may be audacious, but time is of the essence."

Taichu asked, "What about Taiyi?"

James stretched out his hand and revealed the Taiyi Pearl. Then, he waved his hand and another three pearls materialized in the order of the smallest to biggest, first was the Xyloria Tai Chi Pearl, the Xyloria Tirta Pearl, and lastly, the Xyloria Taihshi Pearl.

Taichu drew a deep breath after seeing the four pearls orbiting around James. Ì lack the generosity of Taiyi or the carefreeness of Taishi. Compared to Taisu and Taichi, I am not even worth a mention.

"I was but a mass of energy that took on human form, then later developed emotions. If you wish to acquire my greatest treasure, you must offer an equally fitting exchange."

James bowed and said respectfully, "Please tell me what I must do."

Taichu placed her hands behind her back and paced slowly in front of James.

"First, I need you to answer a few questions."

James straightened up, preparing himself for her inquiries.

"Is it still necessary for the Yin governor's two halves to merge?"

James replied honestly, "I'm not sure yet."

Taichu stared at James and said, "Without the Yin governor, the Waitara Path's Soremsia will not appear. In the future, if you had to choose between the Yin governor and your friends, whom would you choose?" James' expression changed drastically. He asked tentatively, "Does that mean my wife, the Yin governor..."

Taichu cut him off and said firmly, "Your wife is the Dark Heavenly Path, not the Yin governor."

James gasped, Taichu's words striking him like a bolt of lightning. It was a thought he refused to think about.

Taichu said calmly, "You're not yet prepared to answer. But your hesitation proves that you will stand by Thea's side even if her existence could affect the bigger picture."

After a prolonged silence, James said softly, "I do not believe my wife is the Waitara Path's Soremsia. It can't be."

Taichu reassured him, "Nobody claimed that she is the Waitara Path's Soremsia. However, she is capable of influencing his Soremsia. Although she is the last Alcide being that was created, she is not bound by the Haleth Realm. Do you understand?"

James frowned at her words. Lesia had informed him that the Yin governor was ordered by the Nothingness God's head, Frona, to descend to the Haleth Realm. After being killed and reincarnated 81 times, her resolve remained unshaken. Her mission had always been to locate the Waitara Path's Soremsia.

Taichu approached and stated, 'Though you're exceptionally powerful, you're still uncertain of what you want. Do you want to embrace corruption, or stay firm on the path of righteous Daoism?"

James countered, "Who is to decide what is right and wrong?"

Taichu said solemnly, 'The Waitara Path is the Haleth Realm's ruler. Going against him is evil, and aligning with him is upholding Daoism."

James scoffed, "In that case, perhaps I should embrace corruption and oppose his Daoism."

"You're free to do so," Taichu nodded and asked, "But what about your friends?"

James was at a loss for words.

Taichu lectured, "Alone, you may opt to go astray for strength. But what about those who follow you? Do they share your inclination? Do they even have a choice? Your indecisiveness is why they are so lost. "You can push Xabat to me, but what will you do for the others following your lead?"

Faced with Taichu's probing questions, James clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and fell into thought.

Taichu possessed an unparalleled ability to discern the depths of one's heart. The emergence of Waitara Path's soul spirit had left James unsettled, his thoughts in disarray.

He questioned the trustworthiness of his companions, the loyalty of his friends, and even Lesia, his steadfast ally who accompanied him through countless trials.

Days shrouded in anxiety and apprehension were far from his desires.

Even if he succeeded in integrating the Five Treasures, seized control of the Wuia Palace, and obtained the Path Designation Bead, what then?

Ultimately, he would still have to face the Leere Tribulation and the return of the Waitara Path's Soremsia.

Nevertheless, fear was not in his nature. He had made meticulous preparations for such an eventuality. But could he truly face former comrades in arms, perhaps even engage them in combat? Could he alone contenc against the multitudes of divine beings and creatures?
