Chapter 5457

Zeno explained, “I read about ancient beasts in some old books of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. It’s

rumored the Dark World’s various races were born from the Ancestral Site. It’s also said our various

primitive inscriptions also originated from the Ancestral Site.

“Everything of the Dark World originates from the Ancestral Site. Of course, the outside planes

included.

“The outside planes were separated from the Dark World because the Ancestral Site was shattered.

The Ancestral Site’s energy and Law of Heaven were broken apart, eventually forming into countless

planes. It’s the reason why each plane has a different Genesis Path. These Genesis Paths are shards

of the Ancient Site’s Law of Heaven.”

“Alright, cut to the chase,” James said impatiently.

Zeno continued, saying, “When the Ancestral Site was still intact, every once in a while, it would create

a new race. To be more precise, it would produce Primogenitors. After some time, these Primogenitors

would reproduce and eventually form a race of its own.

“Just now, I overheard some people outside the city saying that an ancient beast has appeared in the

Dunhamvale World.

“Ancient beasts are the Primogenitors of a new race.

However, a long time ago, powerful races of the Dark World would target these ancient beasts and

capture them. If the ancient beast were strong, they would train them into their guardian beasts.”

James finally understood why Zeno made such a sudden change of plans. He asked curiously, “I

thought the Ancestral Site had already been destroyed and had no value. How is it possible for an

ancestral beast to be born?”

Zeno replied, “How am I supposed to know? You two wait here. I’ll go out to gather more information.”

After speaking, Zeno stood up and left the manor.

James and Thea were left dumbfounded in the living room. They looked at each other silently.

Suddenly, Thea felt slightly embarrassed, and her face flushed.

She lowered her head and murmured, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

James chuckled and said, “I’d like to see how magical your Tenebrous Body is. I heard your body is like

a vessel and can accommodate all kinds of energy. If I spend time with you, then I’ll be able to absorb

the energy in your body and improve my cultivation rank.”

After speaking, James reached out and pulled Thea into his arms. He leaned close to her, and their

faces were almost touching.

“Let’s go inside the room. Don’t forget to set up a formation.” Thea wrapped her arms around James’

neck and snuggled close to him.

James lifted her and entered the room. Then, he quickly set up an isolation formation for some privacy.

The two entangled with each other for a long time on their bed. While being intimate, James’ power

kept growing stronger. His improvement speed was much more rapid than when he cultivated by

himself.

After satisfying their desires, James entered the Holy Celestial Rank.

Thea clung to the bed, exhaustedly. She willingly offered her years of hard work to James so that he

could improve. Meanwhile, she was completely drained of energy.

“How come I never realized you were so great?” James asked while embracing Thea’s limp body.

Thea replied weakly, ‘Tenebrous Bodies are unique. It can absorb all kinds of energy to improve one’s

cultivation rank and strength. Of all the different physiques throughout the Dark World’s history, a

Tenebrous Body is the most effective in improving one’s cultivation. However, its effects can’t be fully

unleashed if one’s cultivation rank is too weak. At my cultivation rank, the effects are very minimal.

However, once my cultivation rank improves, you’ll benefit greatly every time we make love.”

The two cuddled tightly in bed, enjoying each other’s company.

James had sapped Thea of her energy. Fortunately, her magical physique would automatically absorb

the energy from her surroundings and replenish her strength. She did not even have to cultivate to

recover. Soon, Thea regained some strength.

“It seems I won’t have to cultivate anymore in the future. I’ll keep improving as long as I’m with you,”

James fondled Thea’s breasts and chuckled.
