The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 873
"What did you find out?"
Maxine looked at James with a stunned expression on her face.
James pointed at the first and tenth human figures and said, "Look."
Maxine fixed her gaze on the ancient scroll.
Then, a smile made its way onto her face.
"Do we have to cultivate together?" James nodded.
"Seems like it.Wanna test things out?"
"Sure."
Maxine nodded with a look of anticipation on her face.
The first human figure was sitting in a lotus position with his hands on his head.
James mimicked his movements.
Meanwhile, the tenth human figure was facing head- down with his palms pressed against the floor.
Maxine leaped into the air and pressed her palms against James’.
Their positions were a perfect match.
Viewing the human figures by themselves, one would inevitably come to the conclusion that the meridian diagram was
structurally flawed as one’s True Energy could not flow in the right direction.
However, if two people performed the actions together, they would become an integrated whole.
Maxine summoned her True Energy and moved it according to the diagram.
It moved through her palms from her arm and entered James’ body.

The powerful energy surging from Maxine’s palms caused James to vomit blood and collapse to the floor immediately.
Maxine did a flip and landed on the floor flawlessly.She helped James up and asked, "Are you alright?"
James tried moving his paralyzed arms and said, "It looked promising, but it didn’t work.My body automatically rejects the True
Energy from your palms once it reaches me.Moreover, you can’t control the movement flow of your True Energy inside my body,
and neither can I."
Maxine was lost in contemplation.
James was right.
"Perhaps we interpreted it incorrectly?"
James shrugged.He did not know either.
Staring at the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge, James said, "Though the painting looks simple, it’s actually a complicated
puzzle.If unraveling its mysteries was so easy, someone would’ve cracked the code a long time ago.I think there are some other
secrets hidden in the painting that we’ve yet to discover."
Maxine asked, "Are you suggesting that we’ re on the right track but simply missing something?"
James nodded.
"Yes."
"What could it be, then?"
Maxine stared at the painting.
James shook his head.He could not figure it out at the moment.
"What do the mountains represent? What’s the meaning of the wooden house?"
Lost in contemplation, Maxine stared at the painting.However, she could not understand it.
The basement fell silent.

James and Maxine scrutinized the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge and the 18-meridian diagram intently.
The night passed silently.
Maxine remained in the basement for the whole night.
Along with James, she examined the painting.
However, the pair could not find anything new.
They continued cultivating according to the movements in the meridian diagram, but James would get hurt every time Maxine’s
True Energy entered his body.
Hence, after a few failed attempts, they gave up.
