"Let's go" James said as they stepped through the portal and appeared outside the Monster Valley."Ding"[SYSTEM HAS DETECTED THE USE OF A HIGH LEVEL SEALING ARRAY]"High level.." James said with shock because he knew that the system rarely called any other thing that wasn't given by him high level."So how long will it take to crack it?" James asked with a sigh as he walked over to the valley and placed his hand on a transparent shield.[IT WOULD REQUIRE HALF A YEAR AT LEAST]"Half a year!, what?, it seems that whatever they are hiding in there is really important, I wonder if it's really that" James muttered as he sank into thought."Why aren't you going in?" Tom asked as he placed his hand on James's shoulder which brought him out of his thought."Oh I forgot that you're here, turns out there is a high level sealing array and it would require at least half a year to unseal it so I guess we have no choice, using force won't solve things so we can only come back half a year later."S
"How..how is this possible?" Xuèmai asked in shock, this was an outcome that he hadn't even considered."Ha, so the kid did have a rare Bloodline after all, guess you owe me some wine" Shòuwáng said with a grin as he drank wine from his gourd."Wait wasn't the gourd empty, how did you get wine so fast, you were sitting here the whole time" Xuèmai said with a frown."Stop trying to change the subject" Shòuwáng said with a smile as the kid returned back to him."Master did I pass?" The kid asked with an innocent smile."Oh you passed excellently, so what's your name?" Shòuwáng asked the kid."It's Zhànshì Zhī Wáng Master" The kid answered excitedly."Oh so you're a warrior king, it suits you well" Shòuwáng remarked with a smile."So you didn't even know his name, how foolish of you, you know that this kid belongs in my sect, he isn't a beast tamer so give him to me" Xuèmai said righteously."Oh what was that, I think I remember you saying something like as long as you're Xuèmai, you wou
"Holy shit, this valley is a living being, how is this possible, how can this valley be a living being, system could you explain" James said with confusion.BADUMBADUMWhenever the heart beat, a dark energy would be released from the heart which would flow into the environment, the heart had dark veins which extended from it to the ground, it also pulsed as light flowed from the veins to the heart."System are you there, what is this heart?" James asked with disgust."What's going on, what is this?" James said as he felt his sight going blurry."Tom are you okay?" James asked as he turned to Tom but then he saw something which frightened him, from the ground on where he was standing, veins extended from it to his legs and moved up his body, he looked at his own legs and the same thing was happening to his legs, he tried to move his legs but all feeling had faded from it, he also couldn't circulate his mana, his body has lost all feeling, he could feel his vitality fading away.******
"But I'm glad that you're finally mature to understand what I've always been saying, you will soon take over from me" The man said with a chuckle."I'm sorry if I've ever caused any trouble uncle" James said with sincerity as he made a bow, in his previous life he had been a reckless fool who always caused trouble Everytime and after he had become strong, he used to reminisce the past mistakes that he had made and always wish he could come back and now that he had gotten the chance, he would take it as fulfilling the past wishes of his past self."Ding" [FIRST MEMORY KEY FOUND, 5 MORE TO GO, TRANSPORTING TO NEXT MEMORY]"Oh so the key is like fulfilling me past unfulfilled wishes, right system?" James asked with understanding.[ACTUALLY NOT NECESSARILY, IT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE UNFULFILLED WISHES BUT SOMETHING THAT YOU MISSED IN YOUR PAST LIFE BUT SUBCONSCIOUSLY PICKED UP EVEN WHEN NOT KNOWING]"Something I missed.." James muttered as he became shrouded in a white light and disappeared.
"Fa..father" James muttered in fear as he stared at the man in the sky with fear.There was only one man in James's whole life that he had feared most, and that man was none other than his father who had terrorized him and his brothers for most of their life, in the end after becoming stronger they had come together to seal him up after battling for several days.Their father could almost be regarded as the strongest titan in the universe, he was a fierce and ruthless entity who had once eaten his child who had disobeyed him, he also killed his wife who had tricked him.James's Uncle was the only one who could stand up to him and had escaped with the children and the whole village while James's father was out hunting and ever since they had moved from place to place in fear of their father, along the way they had heard tales of his ruthlessness as he destroyed villages in search of them.This incident had put a scar on James's past and made him scared of his father and now that he was
"I wonder where I am now" James said as he observed his surroundings cautiously, everywhere was grey, the whole place seemed desolate."Arrg, my chest" James said with pain as he grabbed his chest, he looked down and saw blood."What happened now" James said with a groan as he tried to remember what happened."Wait this aura and feeling of dread, there is only one place that I know off that has someplace like this, it's on planet Zenith, the most dangerous continent, the Ancient Ruins Continent.Some said that the continent existed during the time of the ancient beings when the immortals allegedly lived in the lower plains, that was why this place was a no go for low levelled espers, because even though there were treasures, dangers also existed along side them, this was a civilization which existed before his own father's time so the uniqueness could be imagined."I remember now this was when I was being chased by 6 Saints and I barely escaped here, I think this was where I also begu
"Yes to all your questions, I know that you're confused now so let me explain everything to you, when you first came here, I told you that a great evil was coming and that the demons would be the main cause of it and that your destiny was to stop this evil, and you told me something that shocked me, you told me that you would raze the demons to the ground with the power that I gave you, at that time I thought you were just boasting but after seeing your deeds, I knew that I had chosen the right person, but when you left here, I sealed your memories which was why you couldn't remember anything but your will still remained, I'm proud that you tried your best, but your work isn't done, the forces of darkness are back and they are gathering their forces, you need to continue what you started, you are the only light that stands above the darkness, remember who you are, I don't have much time so I will return your memories and through them you will know what to do next, you will obtain 3 me
"Hephaestus thank you for everything, I will find you in Olympus in some years but now I have some things in this mortal realm" James said after coming back to his body in Hephaestus cave."You're welcome my lord and I will see you soon" Hephaestus said with a bow."Wait um is there anyway to stop a seed of destruction from coming out?" James asked."A seed of destruction you say, hmm from my knowledge, there are two ways, the first is for an artifact that absorbs energies to absorb the energy of destruction from the seed, the second is for the supply of the chaos energy to be cut off or destroyed" Hephaestus said after some thought."Hmm an artifact" James muttered as he tried to imagine if he had an artifact that absorbs energy."Wait the space orb, if I get enough of this energy it will charge faster and the destruction will also be alleviated, this is killing two birds with one stone" James said with excitement as he remembered the orb."Huh, space orb what's that?" Hephaestus ask
In the battle hall of the Capital, located in the city lord's residence, the 4 generals were all gathered around the Battle table, James and Xi Shi were also seated there, as for Xi Shi and Shòuwáng, they were keeping Mimi busy elsewhere."This is a direct provocation to our esteemed Lord, we cannot stand for this rubbish, I say we attack with our full force and decimate Sergan's force" A pale faced man said in anger, his hair changed from black to brown as he spoke, his confident aura displayed his strength as a Transcendent on the same level as Yao Ming, the fact was that excluding Yao Jing who was a peak Transcendent and James who was an Ancestor, the rest were all on the same level of strength as Yao Ming, this particular General was named General Hans."Sergan is a valid threat to our Continent, we have to eliminate him as soon as possible, I agree with General Hans" A middle-aged man with an eye patch added with a serious expression, his left hand clutched a wooden cane, this wa
"Greetings to the Lord" Everyone around also did the same as Eric, giving a light bow to the Old man who nodded in response."It's nice to see you again Yao Ming" The Old man said with a smile."Hello brother" Yao Ming replied with a sigh. "I hope you've been well, I thought you were dead" The Old man chuckled as he walked over and hugged Yao Ming."You know I can't die if you haven't" Yao Ming replied with a chuckle."We have a lot to talk about, let's go somewhere private" The Old Man said with a smile."Okay, thank you for everything, I'll meet up with you later" Yao Ming said to his brother then turned to Eric who was still dazed and hadn't registered the fact that Yao Ming was the Lord's brother."Oo..okay" He managed to speak while still digesting the situation."Are these your friends?" The Old Man asked observing Xi Shi and the others behind Yao Ming, when his eyes landed on Xi Shi and James, his eyes paused for a second before moving on, he waved his hand causing the environ
"Huh? What is this?" James muttered as he strolled through the Fireherd stronghold, watching the wine, meat, food, and bodies strewn across the hall, they were all asleep."What happened here?" Xi Shi asked also curious."We're about to find out" James replied staring at the door at the end of the hall.**************************************************"We have to tidy up the place before Master gets back otherwise, he'll be pissed off if he sees the situation of the stronghold" Di er said with a sigh as he massaged his forehead which ached, they had held a feast for three days non-stop."Just forget it, what are you so worried about? Master is probably still within the Secret Realm" Shouwang said with a smile, he glanced at the others seated around the table and chuckled before sipping wine from his gourd."How are you still able to drink after all that?" Xuèmai asked in confusion, the past three days had been one to never forget, they had partied throughout and drank so much wine th
“And that, ladies and gentlemen is how you make an entrance” James said with a bow before leaping off the monster’s back to land on the ground.“James! How..?” Xi Shi’s eyes lit up in shock after seeing James who grinned and walked over to her.“Yeah I missed you too” James winked at Xi Shi then turned to the others around.“Please help me loot those bodies over there” James said to them with a smile.“Yes of course” The others quickly took off to execute the task, they didn’t want to imagine what would happen if James got angry, the humongous monster at the side was a hint.After seeing them move along, James turned back to XI Shi.“Give me a minute with him” James whispered to her causing her to nod in response, James then turned to The Northern Sword who twitched seeing this.James’s expression suddenly turned serious as he walked toward The Northern Sword, taking each step one by one, watching James approach him, The Northern Sword instinctively grabbed his sword, his expression c
“I don’t know who you are but I’ll do as you say, I’m sure you know better than to break the oath of a sword” The Northern Sword replied with a nod to James who smiled just as the dimension shook for three cloaked figures to appear.“Looks like your opponents are here, I’ll be going on now, Xi Shi wait for me” James said to The Northern Sword and then to Xi Shi before teleporting over to the orb, he looked back to catch a view of The Northern Sword rushing toward the three figures alone if it was a different person there, James would have been worried but he knew who the Northern Sword was so he had no fear, he turned around and placed his palms on the orb before disappearing leaving the others.When he was some distance away from the three figures, The Northern Sword paused before sitting on the ground, his long sword lay next to him as he waved his hand causing a gourd to appear in his hands which he raised to his mouth, he then proceeded to gulp down its contents, by now the three
A flash of light was followed by the appearance of a figure in a pure white dimension, the whole dimension was white filled with nothing, it was totally empty except for the doorway that stood some feet away from him.“A creepy doorway, why not?” James chuckled to himself before walking through the doorway, as he walked through, he felt a strange force wash over him seeping through every pore in his body as if, trying to inspect every single secret he kept, the feeling lasted for a while before he was teleported into a grassy field, immediately after appearing, James didn’t waste time and quickly took a look at his surroundings.He was in a beautiful grassland, there was a magnificent sun which could be seen standing triumphantly in the sky providing light, butterflies flew all around the flowers which graced the environment with enchanting smells, birds flew all around the sky as rabbits and other insects played around on the ground, all this combined painted a beautiful image in Jam
“How dare you spit such foul stench on me, didn’t your parents teach you to respect your elders” James’s voice sounded together with the head of the virulent serpent falling to the ground, as he walked out of the miasma clutching his sword he wiped the blood off calmly before turning to the group who stood watching him like he was a ghost.“This guy has to be the most mysterious person I have ever seen” Ye Yang remarked in astonishment staring at James who grinned while walking up to them.“I was wondering how you were going to take care of it, how did you even do that?” Xi Shi asked standing together with Liu Xiang who also stared at James in shock, even at his peak, he would have to be wary of the poisonous miasma of the Virulent Serpent but James just walked in without hesitation like he knew that he wouldn’t be harmed, he wasn’t the only one with this thought, Xi Shi also had the same thought in her mind.‘I didn’t even know they were behind us’ Luo Zen thought while staring at Xi
“Hey, are you okay?” James asked as he stood in front of Xi Shi who blinked her eyes as she remembered where she was.“Are you feeling all right?” James asked again as Xi Shi noticed how close they were, her cheeks suddenly glowed with a light red hue.“Oh sorry” James said awkwardly as he noticed this change and stepped backward.“I’m also fine thank you, what is this piece of paper on me?” Liu Xiang asked as he looked down to see a piece of paper stuck on his chest with several runes on it.“Make sure you don’t make the mistake of taking it off, those are concealment runes to shroud us from the thing in the core” James replied grimly.“You mean that eye, did you see it too?” Xi Shi asked in surprise as she thought back to the intense pressure she felt from that eye.“Huh did you see it?” James asked in shock.“Yeah, right before we escaped the illusion, I saw a huge eye staring at us, at that moment, I could feel such intense pressure that I have only ever felt from a few people” Xi
"The walls are really unique" Liu Xiang remarked s they walked through the narrow pathway through the walls."How did you know about the path here?" Liu Xiang asked James who glanced towards him quietly."Not gonna answer me huh" Liu Xiang muttered with a sigh before he turned to XI Shi."Hey beautiful, so what's your story" Liu Xiang said with a smirk."Do you ever shut up" Xi Shi retorted in annoyance."So how do you feel about letting those guys walk into their deaths" Liu Xiang turned to James and said with a grin after seeing his plan to lure Xi Shi to talk had worked, he also noticed that Xi Shi also perked her ears slightly after hearing the question, it seemed like she was also interested in James's answer."When they walked over here, I told them that I would help them up to the core and that's exactly what I did, I even chipped in a little clue that not everything is as it looks, so I would say that I've done more than enough" James said calmly as his eyes scanned the walls.
