CHAPTER 4193
Manley Dalibor was chosen by the other Sect Elders and had the right to become the next Patriarch.
Yemima said, “Previously, you were pitted against Hoder and Manley for the position of the Patriarch. Back then, they were already Quasi Acmeans on the top of the Chaos Gold Ranking. You had no chance of winning. However, the Grand Patriarch intervened and designated you as the Minor Patriarch. However, the other Sect Elders refused to accept such a decision. Hence, the agreement to fight in the future.”
James knew about the battle. It was many years ago. Back then, Wyot’s cultivation base was still weak —only at the Ancestral God Rank. Even so, he possessed the Thousand Paths Holy Body. That was why the Grand Patriarch designated him as the Minor Patriarch. The other Sect Elders refused to accept such a decision. Hence, they proposed Wyot fought against Hoder and Manley once he crossed into the Quasi Acme Rank to compete for the position of the Patriarch. Since Wyot was weak, he had no choice but to accept.
“They hurriedly left their closed-door meditation when they heard that you’ve returned. Looks like they don’t plan to give you any room to increase your strength further. The battle for the Patriarch’s position will soon begin.” Yemima looked at James, who was disguised as Wyot, and asked, “Are you confident?”
A smile crept up on James’ face.
“I possess the Thousand Paths Holy Body and have cultivated the Greater Paths. When I merge the Greater Paths with the Chaos Path, my Chaos Path will be the most perfect of all. Not even the Grand Patriarch’s can compare to mine. No matter how strong he is, he did not comprehend Karma. Instead, he replaced Karma with some other power.”
Hearing this, Yemima was relieved.
“Since Father is looking for you, you should go. I’ll await your good news on Mount Doom.”
James stood up and embraced Yemima’s slim figure as a smile crept up on his face. “Once I defeat Hoder and Manley, my position as the next Patriarch will be secured. By then, you will officially be mine.”
Yemima blushed and hurriedly pushed James away, saying, “You should go.”
James smiled and released his grip on Yemima before heading outside. Upon leaving Mount Doom, his smile froze. Yemima knew many things about Wyot. Now, he had to remain on friendly terms with Yemima. Otherwise, he would encounter many difficulties in the Doom Race. Besides, the Dooms were a powerful race. To secure his position as the Minor Patriarch or even the Patriarch, he needed to secure Yemima’s support.
He took a deep breath and put those thoughts aside for now. Then, he headed to the main peak. In just a few steps, he was already at the main peak.
There were some manors at the back of the main peak. James relied on Wyot’s memories and went to one of the manors. He gently knocked on the door, saying, “Father.”
“Come in.”
A voice sounded.
James pushed the door open and walked in.
It was a study room full of bookracks, on which there were many ancient texts. Dolph the Patriarch was in the midst of reading a thick book.
As James walked in, Dolph lowered his book and pointed to a chair, saying, “Have a sit.” James sat down and looked at Dolph, asking, “Is something the matter, Father?” “Hoder and Manley have left their closed-door meditation.” All rights © .
Dolph’s expression was grim.
“Mhm.”
James nodded and said, “I heard from Yemima.” “There will be a battle between you and them. Perhaps it will come before the gathering, but I will do my best to postpone the battle. They’ve crossed into the Acme Rank after entering a closed-door meditation for a very long time. Although your strength increased substantially while you were out, you stand no chance against them as a Quasi Acmean. You have to find a few allies and participate in the gathering to compete for the Chaos Sacred Lotus. By then, you should be able to reach the Acme Rank easily. Only then will you stand a chance against them.”
