The Almighty Dragon General

A burst of light suddenly emerged in the main hall of the golden palace located on the Forladtt Land's third level, instantly materializing into James and Lyla.
James gazed at the palace walls, and refined decor adorning the place. He could vividly recall the first time he arrived in the Forladtt Land's third level. Back then, to acquire the Nether Demonic Sword housed inside this palace, he fell into the Aqualsoul and was trapped.
Not only was Lesia almost obliterated, but his golden body that he had painstakingly cultivated was destroyed by the Aquasoul.
However, it was also in the Aquasoul that he met the two elders who helped him forge Nirvana Golden Bones.
From that pivotal moment onward, James embarked on his ascent, securing the Aquasoul, claiming the Nether Demonic Sword, and gifting his companions permission to cultivate within the golden palace. He achieved numerous remarkable feats, including the acquisition of the Historial Wind Spirit and his subsequent entry into the Forladtt Land’s fourth level. There, he acquired his Ultimate Golden Body, the Courageous Tower, and became the ruler of the Forladtt Land.
Returning to the familiar place, countless memories flooded James' mind.

He could remember everything as if it had just occurred yesterday.
Lyla looked at James and asked, "Do you still remember this place? It was here that you attained the Nirvana Golden Body, so we renamed it the Nirvana Palace. It's the Jademora Empire's symbol of power. The orders issued from this place serve as a symbol of our empire. This is where the Jademora Empire deliberates on significant matters or convenes with other sect leaders."
James surveyed the surroundings emotionally, and then he asked, "Why is it so deserted though?"
Lyla said calmly, "Times are different now. With the threat of war looming, everyone is preoccupied with their duties. Rubella is in charge of the second level and watches over the Hudde Passage. Yancy oversees the first level and is stationed at the teleportation formation.
"As for the eight borders of the Forladtt Land, they’re safeguarded by several powerhouses at the Quasi Daeclon Rank from the Behaterm Sect and the Sanctum Sect."
James inquired, "And what about the other legions and sects?"
Lyla replied promptly, "They've been reorganized. On the Forladtt Land's third level, you'll find Taran's Honorable Dragon Legion, Jurryt's Prideful Dragon Legion, and Qairo's Mythic Dragon Legion.
"Meanwhile, Hershya's Bloody Dragon Legion, Xezal's Glorious Dragon Legion, Maxine's Insightful Dragon Legion, and Talvelai's Brave Dragon Legion are stationed on the second level.
"The first level is for ordinary beings that are without sect affiliations or those with lower cultivation ranks to venture to grow and improve the strength of their forces. Including the first level, our empire boasts two major sects and eighth legions total up to two trillion beings."
Listening to Lyla's report, James nodded with satisfaction. He could envision the immense effort Lyla, Rebella, and Xatia had invested to transform a chaotic place into its current state. All factions had been organized into their present form.
Recalling the siege they had faced from the New Alliance and the Righteous Alliance during the war, along with the loss of the Xyndaros Genesis World and Sanctum Genesis World, they completely lost connection with the Dark World, Skynet, and the lustus Sect.
Despite its vastness, the Forladtt Land had become an isolated sanctuary. Inside, Dark Beings roamed freely, while powerful adversaries loomed outside, making survival a challenge.
