Chapter 2171

Over the years, James had come to understand the truth.

He would have to get stronger if he did not want to get beaten.

It was the eternal truth.

He left the Energy Pool where Xavia was cultivating and headed to a mountain in the island’s most

central region.

It was the highest point and gave him a view of the entire island.

“James…”

A voice suddenly came from the Celestial Abode. Only James could hear it as it came telepathically.

James asked, “What’s wrong?”

“This place seems off.”

Sophie’s voice sounded in his mind.

Confused, James asked, “Hmm? Is there something strange about it?”

At that moment, Sophie stood at the City Lord’s Mansion in the Celestial Abode.

Since the Celestial Abode was on James, she could sense and see the surroundings from inside. the

mansion.

After scanning the surroundings for a while, she said, “Have you not noticed? There are thirty three

mountains on this island. The layout of these mountains is in a very profound. formation. The Energy

Pool is only the treasure on the surface. I suspect there’s a greater treasure hidden on this island.”

James was overjoyed. He asked, “What kind of treasure is it?”

Sophie said, “I’m not certain yet.”

Swoosh!

A white light emerged, and Sophie appeared in her white dress in front of James. She stood in the

center of the island and scanned the surroundings. Then, she said. “I was right. There’s at formation

here. I’m curious what we’ll discover on this island after I trigger the formation.”

After speaking, Sophie’s body flickered, and she leaped several hundred meters into the air.

Mysterious symbols appeared in her hand and descended from the sky, spreading over the island.

At that moment, the mountains on the island began to move.

The mountains constantly shifted.

“What’s happening? Why are the mountains moving?”

“This place is a formation, and I’ve activated it.”

The people on the island were shocked to see the mountains moving.

All the peaks revolved around the central mountain where James was located.

At that moment, many people appeared in front of James.

Jace, Yerick, Xavia, Marcello, and the others showed up on the mountain.

As soon as Marcello appeared, she looked at James and asked, “What did you do, James?”

The others also had their eyes on James.

James looked into the sky and found that Sophie had disappeared. Suddenly, her voice sounded in his

mind again.

“I’ve already activated the formation and returned to the Celestial Abode. I don’t want others. to know of

my existence. As for whether you can obtain the treasure hidden by the formation, that’s up to you. ”

Hearing this, James was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, he regretted it.

“Why would you activate it now if you knew some kind of treasure would appear right after? You

should’ve waited until everyone was gone so I wouldn’t have to fight these people over it. How will I

defeat them and obtain the treasure with my current strength?”

“I-I didn’t think that through. Well, you’ll have to figure it out yourself.”

After replying to him, Sophie did not say anything more.

James looked at Marcello, who was staring at him. He put on a puzzled expression and said, What did

I do? I don’t know what happened.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Marcello did not ask any more questions. Initially, she thought that James had activated the formation.

However, it seemed that the formation had activated by itself.
