Chapter 1660
The Almighty Dragon General
What was the point of living if she could not remember James?
However, she did not have long to live if she wanted to keep her memories.
Thea was on the fence.
Master Delphinia did not force Thea. Instead, she said, âYou donât have to rush to a decision. Take your
time to think it through first.â
âIâve decided.â
Thea looked at Master Delphinia and asked, âHow long will it take to extract my True Energy?â
Master Delphinia replied, âYouâve got relatively strong True Energy, so itâll probably take a whole year to
extract it completely. Also, you canât suddenly stop the process after it begins. If you stop halfway, the
side effects will be more severe and might be a littleâ¦â
Master Delphinia looked at Thea and cautioned her further. âYour blood is really unique since itâs
already fused with the Spirit Turtleâs blood and has become something else entirely. Once your
cultivation base is converted into Blood Energy, you wonât have your True Energy to suppress the
effects of your blood. Thatâll also pose a problem during the process. As for the specific consequences,
I canât say with certainty what will happen. Since youâre aware of your bloodâs properties, you should
know best.â âMhm.â Thea nodded.
âI understand. I will maintain my decision.â
âThereâs no rush. You can stay here for the time being. We can start once youâre really sure about your
decision,â said Master Delphinia.
Thea temporarily settled down in the nunnery.
Meanwhile, James practiced in an open space outside Mount Jadeâs vicinity.
He took out a Novenary Golden Pill and refined its energy, rapidly increasing his strength.
The Novenary Golden Pillâs effect lived up to its tales. It was worthy of the rumor of allowing one to
enter the ninth rank.
James successfully refined the energy after one whole month.
A month later, Jamesâ strength had already risen from the Fifth Stairâs peak to the Ninth Stairâs peak,
placing him one step away from entering the ninth rank.
After spending one month refining the energy, James was anxious about Theaâs safety.
Thus, he started to continue looking for Thea.
He traveled through mountains and rivers, searching every corner of the world.
In the following year, James searched everywhere in Sol and traveled around the world.
However, he could not find Thea.
He had not cultivated for the whole year but his strength still remained at the peak of the Ninth Stair.
Despite that, he had been studying and trying to truly grasp the Polaris Sword Art while searching for
Thea.
His swordsmanship had improved significantly.
He already comprehended the singularity of the Polaris Sword Art.
The singularity shared a similar concept to the Fourteen Heavenly Swords.
James did not concern himself with the affairs of the ancient martial world for the entire year, nor did he
interfere with national affairs.
As such, he was ignorant about how the country had developed and did not know the current state of
the ancient martial world.
Mount Zelus.
This was a mountain range within Sol.
A man with long hair sat on a rock on the mountaintop.
The man was dressed in black and had shoulder-length hair.
A long sword was stuck into the ground beside him.
âItâs already been a year. Where are you, Thea?â
James looked at the mountain range, staring absent-mindedly at the distant rivers and landscape.
This year, he searched all across the world but could not find Thea. He started to believe Omniscient
Deityâs claim that Thea had died a year ago.
When he thought about this, his heart felt like it had been stabbed by a knife.
Tears welled up in his eyes and gradually rolled down his face.
âWhy didnât you wait for me?
âI promised to live quietly with you. Why did you leave? Couldnât you wait a little longer for me to
return? Even if you only had a few years left, I wouldâve accompanied you to the end.
âWhy couldnât you even give me the last few years of your life?
âAhhâ¦â
Jamesâ heart was full of sorrow.
He stood up and shouted, filling the air with his anguished cries.
