The Almighty Dragon General

James' gaze filled with regret as he looked at her. "I'm certain now you're not Quincy. She isn't as foolish or absurd as you."
With the wave of a hand, the ten-colored light whisked Marci into the void. Suddenly, her black robe was shredded, leaving her exposed.
Marci shouted in a panic, "You! You pervert!"
"Go on, keep yelling." James casually pulled out a jar of Chaos Absinthe and took a sip.
Then, with a malicious grin, James said, "The more you resist, the more it pleases me. At worst, I'll hand you over to some guys from the Ten Holy Temples Palaces to care for you, Chosen One."
Marci turned pale and cried out, "Don't you want to know where your wife is? You want to find her other half, right? I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
"That won't be necessary. I've already searched your soul. These matters are no longer a secret to me." James shook his head.
Marci stuttered, "You..."
James raised his jar and said, "Stay there. I'll have two of my friends take care of you."
Two phantom figures burst from James' body, morphing into Hemera and Fennec.
Almost instantly, Marci was subjected to the harsh and excruciating pain of flames and Galeat Wind, causing her to let out a harrowing scream.
Meanwhile, James settled against a boulder and savored his Chaos Absinthe.
Shortly after, a vibrant light ray flashed through the void and Lesia appeared before James.

Lesia paid no heed to Marci, who was suffering in the void. She fixed her gaze on James and teased, "Since when did you develop such kinks?"
James looked at her and answered, "She deserved it."
Lesia tilted her head and asked, "Is it because she captured your wife?"
James replied solemnly, "They don't have her. However, they do have Light Thea and Abelard.
Moreover, they've been tortured badly."
Lesia immediately grasped the situation. She approached, snatched the jar of Chaos Absinthe from James' hands, and said, "Since you know where they are, do something about it."
James demanded, "Tell me the truth. With the powers I've acquired from Great Historial Land and Forladtt Land, can I defeat Yehria?"
Lesia shrugged and answered, "There's a thirty percent chance of success."
James frowned, “Only thirty percent?"
Lesia nodded and said, "Yehria has inherited the full power of Tai Chi, which is appraised at the Soma Daeclon Rank. After all these years, she has surely not remained stagnant."
She glanced back at James and continued, "As for you, though the Historial and Marciais Power were graded as Xurxo Daeclon Rank by Emperor Yarden himself, once merged, its rank is uncertain. Also, I can't discern your current cultivation rank."
James responded frustratedly, "But I also received Emperor Yarden's inheritance. Surely his powers must at least be at the Soma Daeclon Rank?"
Lesia nodded and replied, "Yeah. However, your Soma Daeclon Rank is still lacking. You've only one out of the three treasures and one out of the five spirits. You're still far from completely regulating the Three Treasures and Five Spirits."
James looked at her in shock, utterly perplexed by her words.
"What are these Three Treasures and Five Spirits you speak of? Why have I never heard of them before?"
Lesia sat down before responding, "It's time I expand your knowledge."
"The process of regulating the Three Treasures and Five Spirits begins when one enters the Daeclon Rank."
James fixed his gaze on Lesia and demanded, "Do elaborate."
"The Three Treasures are also known as the Three Blossoms, namely the Jade Blossom, Gold Blossom, and Jacinth Blossom. One must transform essence into energy, convert energy into spirit, and then allow the spirit to return to the void. This process culminates in uniting all within oneself, achieving immunity from all disasters and eternal life.
"As for the Five Spirits," Lesia paused for a while, then continued, "It's your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The heart stores the spirit, the liver the ethereal soul, the spleen the thought, the lungs the vigor, and the kidneys the will.
"So far, you've only refined the first spirit after seeing the portrait of the Haurvatat Temple's founder.
