Chapter 2005No one believed James was still alive. They thought his message was a prank.
[What kind of sick joke is this?]
[Enter Mount Bane as we please? Finders keepers? Hasn’t this guy heard of the Overworld?]
[This must be the Overworld’s doing. They must be bored and wanted to lure us over there.]
Many interacted on the forum.
After posting the message, James did not immediately leave but instead stayed to observe their
reactions.
noveldramaSeeing that no one believed him, he scratched his nose.
Then, he posted another message.
[I am James Caden of Wyrmstead. I am still alive, and I have returned. On Mount Bane, I annihilated
Matias Judah, the man who slaughtered dozens from the state of Japura and fought against many
Overworld Outsiders.]
[I fought Xain Judah, Samarth Carter, Wynter Freya, Yandel Harlow, and Leandro Xamir to a standstill
alone, thereby earning the right to enter negotiations with them. In the end, I managed to obtain many
benefits for us all.]
James briefly described the situation on the forum.
The message dropped like a bombshell. In just a few minutes, many commented on his post. However,
most of them indicated their disbelief.Seeing that no one believed his words, James could not help but sigh. Then, he simply ignored the
whole matter altogether. After all, he had tried his best.
“Mother.” James looked at Xandra.
Xandra was sitting on a rock while supporting her chin with her arm. Looking at James, she flicked at
his forehead and said with a smile, “Your father’s a good-for-nothing, but you turned out to be a
wonderful man.”
“Indeed, my father’s a good-for-nothing.”
James did not deny that.
“Is something the matter?’ Xandra asked.
James asked, “I heard from Grandfather and Uncle that you’ll be demonized after using True Energy?”
“Mhm.” Xandra nodded and said, “It’s due to the Phoenix blood inside my body. Although it brought me
great strength, my blood will churn once I catalyze True Energy. When that happens, I’ll slowly lose
consciousness. However, after cultivating Ataraxia, my condition has improved. Now, I’m able to
suppress the Demonic Energy inside.”
Hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows.
Suppress?
No way.
It was specifically designed by the enemy to get rid of the most distinguished fighters on Earth. The
custodian told him that it could only be suppressed because one had yet to grow powerful enough.
Onceone reached a certain strength, the Demonic Energy inside one’s body would lose control, and the
individual would experience Energy Deviation after failing to suppress it. The custodian also told James
he could bring people like Thea to the Chamber of Scriptures to purity their Demonic Energy.
“Mother, your condition is worrying. You’re experiencing the same things as Thea did back then. You’ll
be in mortal danger if this continues. I know someone who can purify Demonic Energy. Once
everything here’s resolved, I’ll bring you there to purify your Demonic Energy. Thea is also there at the
moment,” James said
“Mhm.” Xandra nodded. She had complete trust in James. There was no way James would ever harm
her.
James looked at her and said, smiling. “Mother, this only happened because you’re a genius who
possesses the Supreme Spiritual Root. Someone like you is able to cultivate anything in a short
amount of time. You’re the hope of humanity.”
“Pfft!” Xandra could not control her laughter. “I’m not as impressive as you say.”
“I’m speaking the truth,” James said seriously. “Only those who can experience Energy Deviation after
consuming the blood of the Four Holy Beasts are true geniuses.”
“Alright, I believe in you.”
Xandra did not argue with James.
Then, they began discussing current affairs, the Four Holy Beasts, and the enemy’s conspiracy.
