Chapter 2044


    Sitting in a lotus position next to the small tree was a woman.


    It was Diney who sat there cultivating. Perhaps it was due to absorbing the silver fruit, but Diney


    radiated a silver glow that made it seem like she was bathed in moonlight. It made her look exquisite


    and mystical.


    Sensing someone approaching, Diney stopped cultivating. She raised her head and stood up


    excitedly. “You’re back, James!”


    James nodded and said, “Thank you, Diney.”


    “W-Who’s that with you?”


    Diney looked at the woman behind James.


    James smiled and exined, “This is my mother.”


    Diney immediately greeted her with a smile, “Madam.”


    “Hello, nice to meet you,” Xadra replied with a smile.


    Diney changed the topic and said, “James, the Sacred Tree has borne fruit. They’re


    amazing. I’ve been cultivating near the tree during this period, and that alone already improved my


    cultivation base significantly.”


    “That’s good.”


    James walked over and observed the two fruits on the tree. He picked them and handed one to


    Diney as he said, “You’ve worked hard. Here, have this fruit.”


    Diney immediately shook her head and said, “I can’t ept it.”


    She pushed the fruit back to him.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “You should keep it, James. We’re all counting on you to repel the Overworld Outsiders. You must


    augment your strength as much as you can. The stronger you are, the higher chances of humanity’s


    survival.”


    James took back the fruit and handed it to Xandra.


    “Mom, you can have it then.”


    Xandra also pushed his hand away. “Why are you giving it to me? Diney’s right. You have to


    prioritize improving your strength as soon as possible. Don’t you also want to acquire the Celestial


    Abode? This fruit should be able to improve your strength tremendously.”


    James reluctantly put the fruits away.


    “I won’t be stay long in the Southern ins. I’m counting on you to develop Wrymstead, Diney.”


    Diney grinned, shing her brilliant, white teeth. “Mhm! I’ll do my best!”


    After James plucked the fruits, he inspected the tree. After having its fruits picked, the tree seemed to


    have lost vitality and withered instantly.


    The tree’s condition did not matter to James. He left with Xandra and the fruits.


    Soon, he reached Mount Tai.


    Following the route he remembered, he went to the mountain ravine where the Chamber of Scriptures


    was located. He dove into the water and emerged at an underground cave.


    Shortly after, they appeared in front of the underground tower’s entrance.


    The stone entrance was shut.


    James walked over, pushed open the stone gate, and entered the Chamber of Scriptures’ first floor.


    Xandra looked at the surroundings and asked, “Where are we, James?”


    James exined, “This is earth’s Chamber of Scriptures. It stores all the signature cultivation methods


    left behind by earth’s ancestors. It’s a ce prepared for the humans of Earth. However, it’ll only be


    open to outsiders after the Earth undergoes drastic changes. Moreover, a powerful custodian guards


    this ce. This is also where Thea is purifying her Demonic Energy.”


    “I see.” Xandra nodded in understanding


    James opened his mouth and shouted, “Ms. Custodian, are you here? It’s James! I’m here to see you.”


    After his voice rang out, a white light shone, and a beautiful woman appeared.


    It was the Chamber of Scriptures’ custodian.


    “It’s a pleasure to see you again, Ms. Custodian.’


    “Likewise.” The custodian nodded gently. However, her eyes were not looking at James but at Xandra.


    James quickly exined, “You told me to bring anyone with a simr condition to Thea to this ce to


    purify the Demonic Energy within them. This is my mother. She also has a simr condition as Thea.”


    The custodian nodded gently and said, “Indeed. I can sense it. Since that’s the case,e with me.”


    After speaking, the custodian waved her hand, and powerful energy enveloped James and Xandra.


    The two felt their vision distort, and they were teleported away.


    Soon, they were in the depths of the tower.


    There was an altar with a Grand Extremity pattern engraved on it. Thea was sitting on it, emanating


    strong energy that shocked even James.


    “This is…? It seems Thea made rapid progress over the years.’
