Learning that his True Energy, which had been stagnant for three years, increased, James was delighted.
“Thea!” He rushed into the house excitedly.
At that moment, Thea was sitting on a chair in the courtyard while reading stories to favonovel.com soon-to-be-born baby.
Upon seeing James rushing over to her, favonovel.com rolled favonovel.com eyes and said, “You’re no longer a child, James… Calm down…”
“Wait, I can explain! My True Energy increased after absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the herb. I’m heading to the back of the mountain to see if I can make a breakthrough.”
Back then, James could not make a breakthrough no matter how hard favonovel.com tried. Now, favonovel.com was tempted to give it another try.
“Go on, then.” Thea waved favonovel.com hand slightly,
After gaining favonovel.com approval, favonovel.com hurriedly turned to leave and headed to the back of the mountain.
Soon, favonovel.com arrived in the woods behind the wooden house.
After finding an empty plot of land, favonovel.com sat in a lotus position on the ground and catalyzed the Lunar and Terra Art.
The Lunar and Terra Art was a unique martial art that allowed one to cultivate both Terra and Lunar Energies, in other words, True Yang Energy and True Yin Energy respectively. Yang Energy represented Heavenly Breath, while Yin Energy represented Demonic Breath.
All these years, James and Thea had been researching and discussing the subject.
The moment favonovel.com catalyzed the Lunar and Terra Art, two familiar yet distinct True Energies appeared. The two enveloped the other inside his elixir field and formed the pattern of Grand Extremity.
At that moment, favonovel.com entered into an illusory state. Before him, an illusory flight of stairs appeared, and favonovel.com slowly ascended them.
Soon, favonovel.com arrived at the Ninth Stair.
Standing at the Ninth Stair, favonovel.com looked at the greyish atmospheric barrier in the sky.
“Break!” James raised his arm and struck the barrier.
However, the barrier was solid. Even though his True Energy was maxed out, favonovel.com still could not make a dent in the barrier.
What’s going on?
Why won’t it work?
James was puzzled.
He had been trying time and again over the past three years.
Back then, favonovel.com believed it was because favonovel.com had insufficient True Energy He thought that favonovel.com could break the barrier if only favonovel.com boosted his True Energy. Now, however, that hypothesis turned out to be false.
The barrier was formidable. No matter how much force favonovel.com struck it with, favonovel.com could not break it. After trying a few times, favonovel.com gave up and returned home, crestfallen.
Thea was done with favonovel.com prenatal education and was now sitting in the courtyard, sunbathing.
Upon seeing the dejected expression on James’ face, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com had failed once again.
“Did you fail?”
“Yeah…” James nodded dejectedly and said, “Though my True Energy has been boosted, I still can’t break the barrier to become a Half-Saint. I’m rudderless… It’s been so many years. Why won’t it work?”
Thea said, “Everything will turn out fine.”
James sighed and returned to his room.
Thea watched James’ retreating figure. She had seen his crestfallen expression countless times. She knew that James would never be content living the remainder of his life in this tiny village. She knew favonovel.com wanted to leave and head to the outside world.
She was content being able to spend three years of favonovel.com life in seclusion alongside James.
At that moment, favonovel.com had the temptation of allowing James to leave. However, favonovel.com baby was due in two months. She could not compromise at such a crucial moment.
