Chapter 7271
It wasn't James' groundless worry. It wasn't Taichu's attempt to sow discord either. It was a fact that had already happened.
Previously, because of the appearance of Waitara's soul spirit and the instigation of Goyo, the change in attitudes of the divine beings once under his command, especially the powerhouses above the Mahayana Daeclon Rank, explained everything.
Even if one could kill the divine beings with one arrow, one couldn't eliminate their belief in Waitara.
"You need time to consider these issues," Taichu sighed and said. "If you want to change a system, you have to change yourself first. To change yourself, you need to change your mental fortitude first, otherwise, if you're in chaos, the living beings under you will be in turmoil. Once the living beings under you are in chaos, the world will be in chaos.
"Then, a disaster happening internally won't be a surprise."
After listening to the advice, James was suddenly enlightened. He bowed to Taichu again.
"Ms. Taichu, thank you for the reminder. I owe you another favor."
Taichu chuckled. "It must be tiring for you to talk about such a heavy topic since you're unruly, unrestrained, and free-spirited. I'm exhausted too.
"But I have to remind you of something. Although the Five Spirits Integration seems easy, if you have an unstable mental fortitude and too many Inner Demons, even if you use the Xyloria Pearls, you might not be able to control what derives from it."
Then, Taichu extended her arms. A glowing pearl flew out of her body. It floated in front of James with a buzzing sound.
"Your thoughts are no longer your own thoughts." Enunciating each word, Taichu said, "It's enough to form the Daoism of all words. So, you must be cautious about your thoughts and actions in the Five Spirits Integration."
After that, Taichu turned into a ray of black-and-white light before
disappearing, leaving James behind. He stared at the Taichu Pearl as if he was holding a hot potato.
At this moment, he wished Thea was present. Even if she gave him a silent hug, he would feel at ease.
Unfortunately, Thea had been taken away by Taiyi. She needed to recuperate. She was also exhausted. Meanwhile, Light Thea is also risking her life.
More importantly, James needed to face the challenge of Waitara's soul spirit after three entrapochs.
He needed to fight this battle. It was a risk he needed to take. He must recognize his true strength. Otherwise, even if he entered Wuia Palace, he might not be able to fight against Xanthakos. Looking at the Taichu Pearl before him, he closed his eyes. In a lotus position, he, along with the Taichu Pearl and the four other Xyloria Pearls, slowly floated into the void.
Then, a second body burst out of his body. He wore a black robe and had an evil smile. He slowly circled his main self with a malevolent energy.
After that, another James in a white robe suddenly appeared and stopped the one in the black robe.
"Who let you out? Why did you come out?" In a black robe, James became angry. "Don't you know what we need most?"
"I know!" James in a white robe said, "We need a fair and reasonable world. Everything has karma and is bound by karma. Karma comes from one's words and actions."
"You know nothing." Black-robed James suddenly roared, "Without rules, a world can't be managed. The real Daoism is ambition and hegemony. One needs to reach the Daeclone Rank. Every word and action can control all divine beings' fates."
"Those who follow will prosper, and those who don't will perish. This is what a man should do."
James in a white robe shook his head. "Your obsession is too deep, and your desire for power is too much. You've gone against your original
motive. You shouldn't have appeared."
"If we behave like you, what makes US different from Goyo, Xanthakos, and Waitara? Why should we oppose them?"
"The reason we oppose them is because they're a stumbling block to our hegemony." Enunciating each word, James said, "Only by eradicating them can we truly reach our peak and realize our ambitions." Then, James in a white robe and the other in a black robe began to fight fiercely. Their fight caused the area to tremble.
At this moment, a koi fish came out of James' main self with water drops.
While shaking its head and tail, it tried to break free from James' Virtuous Aura and soared into the sky.
After that, the koi fish looked back at James and spoke with hatred.
"James, just you wait. I will cut you into pieces. You and your wife will all die."
Then, it headed into a ball of black-and-white mist.
Not long after, a huge monster rushed out from James' body with a roar.
With a flash of red light, the monster instantly transformed into a handsome middle-aged man.
"James, wake up. The fish has escaped. Why are you so careless?"
However, at this moment, James was still sitting cross-legged. His eyes were tightly shut. He let the two James fight above his head.
"Why are you always procrastinating? If you put her in my belly, nothing would have happened."
Then, the handsome middle-aged man went to chase the koi fish.
At this moment, above James, the black-robed James pierced the white-robed James with a sword.
"Go to hell! You're a hypocrite."
As the black-robed James pushed out his palm, the white-robed James flew away.
In the next second, James' main self was quickly enveloped by the malevolent energy of the black-robed James. It formed a huge ball of malevolent energy.
