Chapter 2043
After James left Mount Bane, he promptly made his way to Lothian.
He went to the military region of the closest city to Mount Bane and boarded a private plane directlyto Lothian.
Half a day later, James finally arrived in Lothian.
He met up with Langston, Tyrus, and Xandra in the palace.
Xandra knew most Overworld Outsiders had gone to Mount Bane’s Celestial Abode. Since theyalready knew about it, Lothian’s martial artists did not bother investigating further.
“How did it go, James? Are you alright?”
Xandra pulled James over and checked him for injuries.
James smiled and said, “Nothing happened to me.”
“By the way, what exactly is the Celestial Abode?” asked Tyrus.
James briefly explained the events that happened after he entered the Celestial Abode.
Despite his offhanded descriptions, everyone present paled and balked at the experiences Jamesdescribed.
“I’m going to meditate in seclusion for some time. When I’m strong enough, I’ll challenge it oncemore to see if I can conquer the Celestial Abode.”novelbin
After speaking, he turned to Xandra.
“Mom, remember how I told you about bringing you to a place to purify the Demonic Energy in yourbody? Now is the time.”
“Alright.” Xandra nodded gently.
James took his time in departing.
The last time he came to Lothian, he wanted to see Winnie. However, his mother had called, and hehurriedly rushed to save her, completely missing his chance to see his daughter.
To make up for that, he decided to stay in Lothian temporarily.
That afternoon, he finally reunited with Winnie.
Winnie was already four years old.
With a chubby face and hair that was tied into neat, little braids, she looked adorable.
“Winnie.”
When he saw Winnie, James was choked up with emotion. In the past few years, he rarely had thechance to accompany Winnie.
Winnie carried a small schoolbag and looked at James with fear. Then, she hid behind Xandra.
Xandra said with a smile, “Winnie, this is your father. Go on, call him Papa.”
“Papa?”
Winnie looked at James distrustfully.
She had absolutely no recollection of her father.
Everyone else had a father and mother, but she had neither of them by her side.
“Winnie, come here. Give Papa a hug.”
James bent down and spread his arms wide.
Winnie looked at James with her bright eyes and blinked a few times. With an innocent expression,she asked, “Are you really my Papa?”
“I sure am.”
“Papa! I finally have a Papa!”
Winnie was overjoyed as she rushed toward James.
James picked Winnie up in his arms.
He went around Lothian with her for a few days.
However, he did not stay for long because he had an important matters to handle.
He was unsure if the Overworld Outsiders could pass the ninth barrier, so he had to train as soon aspossible to improve his strength.
Before he left to meditate in seclusion, he made a trip back to Mt. Thunder Pass in the SouthernPlains to check on the Sacred Tree—the small, silver tree his mother risked her life to obtain.
The Sacred Tree was the rarest divine object that appeared on Earth before the Celestial Abodeemerged. Once the tree blossms, it would bear mysterious fruits.
By consuming one of these fruits, his cultivation base would improve tremendously.
James arrived at Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains a day later.
A small silver tree stood on top of Mt. Thunder Pass. At that moment, two silver fruits were hangingfrom the tree. One of the fruits was round and the size of a fist. It shimmered with a silvery light andlooked incredibly mystical.
James could smell its aromatic fragrance as soon as he got closer to it.
The fragrance relaxed his body and made him feel pleasant.
