Marci stared blankly at James for a while, then suddenly began scrutinizing him up and down.
"You're an admirable hero but also a tragic one. You seem to always be losing your wife."
James was rendered speechless.
Marci said with frustration, "Your wife is also quite the troublemaker. If not for her, you, the harbinger of chaos, wouldn't be interfering with other people's perfect plans."
James' expression darkened at the comment. "So you're saying your plans failed because I'm searching for my wife?"
Marci answered angrily, "Am I wrong? I've researched you thoroughly. You were just an ordinary man, concerned only with the love for your family. If not because your wife left the Dark World, you wouldn't even be aware of the Tai Chi World, nor would you have ever come to this place. Ultimate Golden Bodies, Emperor Yarden's inheritance, and becoming the Chosen One would be completely out of your reach."
Marci's frustration boiled over, and she abruptly stood up. "Isn't your main concern the grudge with Tai Chi, Yehria? If you back down from competing for the position of the Supreme Path, I'll help you deal with her."

James, unfaced, met her angry gaze with a sly grin, "With your strength?"
Marci locked her gaze with his and said, "I might not be able to, but the force behind me certainly can. Now that you've gained control over the Great Historial Land and obtained Emperor Yarden's inheritance, the position as the Supreme Path..."
"I'm more interested in the force behind you," James cut her off, shifting the conversation's focus.
Marci smiled and said, "You're trying to extract information from me? Both of us are Chosen Ones, Forty-nine. You possess immortality, but so do I.
"If you kill me today, I will reincarnate soon. Then, we'll fight to the death again. Even if I can't kill you, I can reach those close to you.
"Moreover, your wife is currently in our hands. Think about what could happen to her once I die."
Her threat hung in the air, unfinished, as James revealed his trump card. In his hands now gleamed two luminous towers, emitting an ominous aura.
Marci shouted anxiously, "What are you doing?"
James played with the two towers in his hands and responded coldly, "I despite threats. Since I can't kill you, I could always imprison you and torture you for eternity."
Marci's eyes widened with a palpable dread. "You." James slowly held up the towers and said, “This is the Perceiver Tower and Wisdom Tower that Emperor Yarden left behind. While checking on them, I discovered they are not only keys to control the Great Historial Land but also capable of absorbing vital energies. Plus, there is a Daemonbane Formation within it.
"Anyone trapped within these will be subjected to the endless torture within the Perceiver Tower until they choose to self-destruct. However, they will be reborn in the Wisdom Tower and trapped within another never-ending cycle of suffering. It's impossible to escape."
