James put away the invitation and said, “Alright. I’ll definitely come to the First Universe to attend the conference in ten thousand
years.”
Mirabelle walked toward James with a bright smile. However, James slowly backed away from her.
The woman before him was terrifyingly strong. Although she looked beautiful and harmless, like a goddess, the aura emanating
from her made him wary.
“You don’t have to be so nervous. I’ve never visited the Twelfth Universe before. Now that I’m here, how about you show me
around the Twelfth Universe?”
Mirabelle showed no intentions of leaving anytime soon.
She wanted to stay to learn more about Forty-nine and how he reached such a high cultivation rank while staying under the First
Universe’s radar.
James was full of mysteries.
However, James turned her down, saying, “I still have some other business to attend to right now. I don’t have the time to
accompany you on a stroll. You can check out the place yourself if you’re interested in the Twelfth Universe. I won’t accompany
you.”
After speaking, James turned around to leave.
Mirabelle appeared in front of him in a flash and blocked his path.
She reprimanded him, “You’re so cruel.”
Although she was complaining, she spoke very coquettishly.
“I just want to have a look around the Twelfth Universe. I don’t know anyone here. If you don’t show me around, I must release
my energy to find my way. What if I lose control of my energy? It might shatter a few worlds in the Twelfth Universe, don’t you
think?”
“You’re trying to threaten me?” James’ face darkened.
Mirabelle said smilingly, “Of course not. Can’t you see that it’s just an excuse? I’m more interested in you.”
Every word and move she made was full of temptation.
As soon as they met, she had been seducing James.
James also sensed a unique Path from her. Mirabelle was using the Seduction Path. Ordinary cultivators would never be able to
withstand her Seductive Power and would have fallen for her.
However, James cultivated an exceptional power that surpassed all other kinds of power. He easily resisted the Seduction Power
coming from Mirabelle.
James quietly looked at Mirabelle. After thinking for a while, he formulated a plan.
He asked, “What do you want to know?”
Mirabelle smiled and said, “I’d like to know who you are and the Paths you cultivate. Also, why can’t I sense your cultivation
rank? When I use my Divine Sense, I can only feel emptiness from you. It seems like you don’t even exist.”
James knew Mirabelle would ask these questions.
Instead of answering, he asked, “You’re a powerhouse from the First Universe. Do you remember back when there were only
eight universes? Before the ninth universe, a Dark Strife broke out in the Dark World.”
Mirabelle’s smile immediately froze upon hearing his word.
As a powerhouse of the First Universe, she was well aware of these events.
Back then, she could sense the energy fluctuation in the Dark World from the First Universe.
She looked at James and asked, “What about it?”
James said slowly, “During that Dark Strife, a powerhouse severely injured three hundred Ninth Stage Lords of the Dark World.”
Mirabelle knew about the Dark Strife but was not clear on the details. After all, the Illuminated World and Dark World were in
conflict. Thus, they did not know much about the Dark World.
Hearing James’ words, her expression became increasingly solemn.
‘Three hundred Ninth Stage Lords? Did the Dark World have so many powerful creatures in the past?’ thought Mirabelle.
She returned to her senses and stared at James.
