Chapter 2546
After James left the room, he contacted Sophie in the Celestial Abode.
Sophie had been recuperating in the Time Chamber for the past few months.
After such long period of rest, her injuries had healed slightly.
It helping James steal the bodhi tree would not present a huge problem.
She responded to James, “Yes?” Following her voice, an intense energy flowed out from the Celestial Abode and enveloped
James.
“You can act without discretion now.
I’ve already set up a formation around you.
It can isolate your aura and keep you hidden.
You’ re effectively invisible now.
No one can detect you unless you encounter someone stronger than me.” James was relieved by Sophie’s words.
He had been asking around about the bodhi tree’s location for the past few months.
It turned out that the bodhi tree was not on Mount Lutheran but on another mountain nearby.
It was the tallest peak in the Mortal Dimension, and the bodhi tree was planted on the very top.
James quietly left the Labhrann Clan’s base in Mount Lutheran.
At the back of Mount Lutheran was another mountain range.
At a glance, all the mountains towered into the sky.
James immediately spotted the tallest mountain.
The mountain appeared very tall and majestic from a distance.
Moreover, there was a mysterious ray of light shining on the mountaintop.
Sophie set up a formation around James so he was invisible.
People who were weaker than Sophie would not be able to find him at all.
In the Demon Realm, not many were stronger than Sophie.
However, James still acted with caution.
He did not fly through the sky but chose to advance on fooot.
When he reached the highest mountain, he ascended it very slowly.
He reached the barrier formation protecting the mountain.
Before this, James also gathered a lot of information about the protective formation.
It was set up by one of Labhrann Clan’s powerhouse since times of eld.
The formation was terrifyingly strong.
However, James had scouted the area prior to this and Sophie had already disabled it that time.
The formation was now deactivated.
When James got close to the formation, Sophie stealthily made a gap in it.
James cautiously walked through the formation and continued ascending the mountain.
Soon, he reached the mountaintop and found a tree.
The tree gave off a mythical feel.
It was dense with branches and leaves, and had small red fruits growing on them.
The fruits were crystal clear and gave off a slight red glow.
Like a motionless statue, there was an old man seated in a lotus position under the tree.
James immediately recognised the man as the Labhrann Clan’s Guardian, their Great Elder, whose strength was at the peak of
the Divine Rank’s Third Stage.
“What should I do, Ms.
Sophie?” James did not dare to approach recklessly and asked for Sophie’s opinion.
Sophie thought for a while in the Celestial Abode and said, “If you want to uproot the bodhi tree, you’ll have to subdue the elder
guarding it.
However, he is at the Divine Rank’s Third Stage and is overwhelmingly strong.
I’m unsure if I can subdue him without attracting the attention of other powerful people.” “Then what should I do?” James became
troubled.
He spent many months preparing to steal the bodhi tree and waited for this night.
He would not have another chance in the future if he failed tonight.
Sophie also stayed in pensive silence.
After a while, she emerged out of the Celestial Abode.
As usual, she wore a white dress, and her beautiful face was flawless.
However, her complexion was pale, and it was evident that she had not fully recovered from her injuries.
“You're still injured, Ms.
Sophie.
Why did you come out?” Seeing Sophie’s pallid face, James could not help but ask worriedly, “How are your wounds?” Sophie
waved her hand slightly and said, “It’s okay.
There’s an extremely dangerous opponent guarding the bodhi tree.
I won’t be able to subdue him without alarming other powerhouses.
The only option now is for me to find a way to distract him away while you uproot the bodhi tree as quickly as you can.” James
frowned and asked, “What about your injuries?” Sophie shook her head and said, “I’m fine.
Let’s get on with it.
After you obtain the bodhi tree, escape immediately.
I’1l come find you.” “Nihm.” James nodded.
