The Almighty Dragon General

James’ main self of Path sat in a cross-legged position within the Gate of Mystery’s Delmuna. He had remained motionless, akin to a statue, as he bathed in a murky mist.
At that moment, his fingers moved gently and the mist around him fluctuated. Suddenly, his eyes opened and two beams of Virtuous Aura shot out.
The surroundings trembled violently, and the murky mist rapidly cleared.
As soon as visibility was restored in the area, a dazzling pearl flew past him, emitting a buzzing sound.
“It’s the Eclipse Pearl! Quick, grab it! That’s the core of Delmuna! If you capture it, you’ll be able to control half of the Gate of Mystery.”
A female voice resounded, offering quick advice.

After a momentary daze, James instantly reached out and grabbed the pearl before it left the area.
The Eclipse Pearl rotated within James’ palm, releasing an even more blinding light as if using all its strength in an attempt to break free.
“Interesting.”
James stared at it, then urged some Virtuous Aura in his other hand and suppressed the pearl.
When he raised his head, he was met with a surprise. Whilst he was distracted, Yukha, Xabat, and Marci had unknowingly appeared in the area. Additionally, Light Thea and Yehria were also present.
The women sat crossed-legged, bathing in the Virtuous Aura. At that moment, all of them had reached the Daeclon Mahayana. Surprisingly, the strongest among them were Light Thea and Yehria.
After staring at them puzzled, James asked, “How did you all come out?”
They silently glanced at each other, nobody answering him.
Shortly, Light Thea responded, "This, is a really good place, and it would be a waste to not use the opportunity to enhance our cultivation..." James interrupted, “Was it you? Only you are capable of freely traversing my soul space.”
Startled for a moment, Light Thea lowered her head nervously, her beautiful face filled with tension.
James scanned the people around him and questioned, "The numbers don't add up. I forgot the others but
I know Taotie is also one of rny contracted pets..."
