James looked at Wesley perplexedly.
Wesley nodded in approval. Then, he sighed and said, "Goyo is completely different from other Alcide beings. He was created from the Historial Daoism, and you can consider him as the Waitara Path's defender. More importantly, he is the Waitara Path's first successor.
"Once he merges with the Waitara Path's soul spirit, he would instantly gain half of the Waitara Path's strength. If that were to happen, nobody in the Haleth Realm would stand a chance against him, not you, nor Xanthakos."
Seeing that James was indifferent, Wesley patted his shoulder and said, "I know that you have entered the Zenthur Rank, and your strength is extraordinary. In the Forty-Ninth Heaven, you can almost take on anybody However, you are not invincible."
James raised his eyebrows at this.
Wesley said earnestly, "Don't be unwilling to accept the truth. You just fought with Taiyi and proved to be on par with her. However, compared with the Waitara Path..."
James asked, "Is the gap wide?"
Wesley glanced at Taiyi in the black and white gas, then explained, “Let me put it this way, if the strength of Waitara Path is ten, then the strength of you and Taiyi should be between two and three. Even if you join forces, you may not be able to deal with Goyo if he merges with the Waitara Path's soul spirit."
James fell silent.
Wesley said solemnly, "That's why I tried my best to persuade Taiyi to intervene, otherwise, the Leere Tribulation won't be solvable." James frowned and asked, "Does Goyo not know about it?"
Taiyi answered, "Of course, he does. That's why he orchestrated things so that you would release the Waitara Path's soul spirit." Taiyi then explained Goyo's plan in detail.
After hearing everything, James took a deep breath. He was confused about why the Waitara Path's soul spirit suddenly appeared after he fused the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword's Upper and Lower Swords. Moreover, i broke through the Greater Realms' Spiritual Providence and put everyone into a dream-1 ike state.
Now he finally understood it was part of Goyo's plan.
Goyo was sure he would not be able to seize the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword's Lower Six Swords, so he deliberately made it possible for James to obtain the Upper Three Swords. By doing so, he could ensure that the Waitara Path's soul spirit would be released. As long as he could meet with the Waitara Path's soul spirit, they could merge and he could become invincible.
To his surprise, the Waitara Path's soul spirit went to seek James and not him after devouring numerous of the Greater Realms' creatures. Then, the Waitara Path's soul spirit was locked up in the Gate of Anonymous. Goyo was furious and incited the believers of the Waitara Path to besiege Thea's group using the name of the Waitara Path. He wanted to capture them and threaten James to release the Waitara Path's soul spirit. However, James' timely arrival caused his plan to fail. Hence, Goyo sought Taiyi's protection as his final resort.
Yet, Taiyi claimed that Goyo was an immortal existence. He could survive and reincarnate even after being killed by the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword, so his escape was questionable. James immediately expressed his doubts.
Wesley answered, "Who would want to die if they could live? Moreover, ecen if he can be reborn after death, it would take some time. By then, it would be incredibly difficult for him to find the waitara Path's soul spirit" After listening to this explanation, James reached out and grabbed the Taiyi Divine Pearl floating in front of him.
"You're very generous, but I can't accept something without giving something in return."
James looked at the gas mass and said, "I have some useful news for you. Yaretzi has perished."
The gas mass fluttered violently at his words.
Wesley said anxiously, "You shouldn't spread misinformation, James."
James looked at Wesley and denied, "It's true. Xanthakos not only killed Yaretzi, but he also planned to use Yaretzi's soul to threaten Youcef.
"Ultimately, he was so enraged that he wanted to destroy Yaretzi and Youcef's soul. My wife risked her life to save them."
As soon as James finished speaking, the gas mass exploded with a loud rumble. The next moment, a tall, fair woman stepped out.
The woman grabbed James by the collar and asked, "Where is your wife?"
James was stunned to finally see Taiyi. She was a beautiful woman with white hair, dressed in a white robe.
Seeing her flawless face up close, James was dazed momentarily.
Taiyi asked urgently, "Where is your wife?!!"
Wesley hurriedil intervened, " Please calm down, Taiyi. James is a man who values relationships and loyalty Since he informed you in exchange for the Taiyi Pearl, he must have prepared to give you an explanation as well"
Taiyi let go of James and stepped backward.
"I'm sorry. I lost my composure."
James did not say anything but waved his hand, summoning a wave of Anonymous Gas. Thea immediately appeared, sitting in crossed-leg position with her eyes closer She was covered in blood, but the Anonymous Gas made her look sacred.
Taiyi and Wesley were surprised by her sudden appearance.
Wesley asked, "What happened to her?'
