James returned to where his accommodation was.
Though favonovel.com spent more than 800 years in a closed-door meditation inside the time formation, only eight years had passed in the outside world.
After returning to his room, James lay on his bed and contemplated.
In the blink of an eye, favonovel.com had been in the Demon Realm for fifteen years. He wondered how Earth was doing at the moment.
At that moment, favonovel.com missed his friends in the Celestial Abode. Back then, concerned about the safety of his friends and loved ones, favonovel.com brought them into the Celestial Abode in advance.
James stood up. As his mind stirred, favonovel.com entered the Celestial Abode.
In the courtyard of the Celestial Abode’s City Lord’s Mansion, Winnie was playing with a purple scythe in favonovel.com hand. As time passed, the aura the scythe exuded grew increasingly stronger.
“Dad!” Sensing James’ presence, Winnie stored the scythe away and greeted him.
James looked at Winnie.
As the years went by, favonovel.com transformed from a little girl into a stunning beauty. She stood about 180 centimeters tall, dressed in casual clothing, and had long black hair. Her skin was fair and favonovel.com features delicate. Her appearance resembled Thea’s.
“Winnie, you’ve turned into a gorgeous beauty!”
Winnie looked at James and said, “Dad, I don’t want to stay inside the Celestial Abode anymore. I want to leave this place.”
James hurriedly shook his head and said, “No way! Do you have any idea where I am at the moment? I’m in the Demon Realm, where there are countless cultivators at the Sage and Divine Ranks. You’ll lose your life if you wander about outside.”
“But…”
“No buts…” James cut favonovel.com short and said, “As long as I’m still alive, I’ll protect you. I won’t let your encounter any danger outside. You’ll be safe and sound for the rest of your life.”
“Dad, I’m no longer a child. I’m all grown up now. I want to experience life outside, not trapped here in the Celestial Abode.” Winnie looked at James pleadingly.
She had no motivation to keep cultivating inside the Celestial Abode. She wanted to head to the outside world. However, James knew what Winnie was. He would not simply sit by the sidelines as favonovel.com watched favonovel.com turn into an emotionless Heaven’s Adjudicator
Upon seeing Winnie’s pleading look, James took a deep breath and sighed, “Let’s not rush things for now, alright? We’ll discuss this once I return to Earth.”
After favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com turned to leave.
There was a region behind the City Lord’s Mansion where James’ friends and family resided, the Callahans, the Cadens, Langston, and the others.
All these years, they had grown accustomed to life in the Celestial Abode. When they were free, they would cultivate or even pluck the mysterious berries in the Celestial Abode. Even with the Elysian Seal, their strength had increased by leaps and bounds through the nourishment of countless berries and the Time Chamber.
There was also a village that acted as a huge training ground where the 400,000-strong army would undergo special training and cultivate.
James walked toward the village.
At the entrance of the village, there was a willow tree planted. Beneath the tree sat a thirty-year-old man with dark skin who was staring blankly into the distance while nibbling a tiny blade of grass.
It was Henry.
Beside favonovel.com was a woman, who was dressed in a white dress and had a slender figure.
“Henry, when can we leave?” the woman asked.
The woman was none other than Whitney Walker, Henry’s wife.
Henry sighed. “I don’t know either. I’m very bored too inside the Celestial Abode. I want to travel the world with James…”
“James?”
At that moment, upon noticing James, Henry immediately stood up and cried out delightedly, “You’re finally here, James!”
“Hey, Henry!” James smiled and greeted him.
“James is here!” Henry yelled.
His voice echoed throughout the village, and the villagers walked out.
