After examining Yianni closely, James picked up the wine jar again and finished its contents.

As he was about to open it, Yianni pressed it down with his hand. The two locked eyes, their gazes filled with complex emotions. After a while, they shared a knowing smile and then simultaneously withdrew their hands.
Yianni took his time, then said, "I'll be leaving, but before that, I want to tell you something from my heart." James shrugged and replied with a smile, "The greatest responsibility of a teacher is to answer their disciples' questions and solve their doubts. I've been waiting for a long time, and I am all ears." Yianni took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and turned his back to James.
"Since you're already the ruler of the Haleth Realm, what new understanding do you have of Paths?" James replied calmly, "I don't need to understand. Every move of living beings can beca Path." Yianni turned around and said with a smile, "If all living beings can beca Path, then what is the point of cultivation and striving for the Daeclon Mahayana? What's the purpose of your position, the SuprPath?" James answered, "Cultivation is to improve one's abilities, body, mind, and soul. As for the Daeclon Mahayana, it's just a ranking system. There will be no end or peace if you're too persistent about it." Yianni raised his head and took a deep breath. Though he may not have agreed, he did not want to refute it either.
James asked with a smile, "You've stayed hidden in the Haleth Realm for so long; you must have your own understanding of it already." Yianni returned to his previous seat and sat down. After a while, he looked at James and said, "If I tell you that in the near future, the Destiny Sect might cease to exist, will you still insist on your statement?" James looked at Yianni confidently and said, "Of course. Paths are universal, and all beings are on their own journey, including you, whether you admit it or not." Under James' sharp gaze, Yianni lowered his head helplessly.

Yianni said solemnly, "Your intelligence, wisdom, and talents should not be wasted in their power struggle. You can have a much brighter future." James smiled silently in response.
Yianni stood up with sexcitement. "You didn't start the Destiny Sect. It isn't the only force out there. With your current prestige, you can start your own. There's no need to sink with this broken ship."
James said calmly, "Broken ship? How would you know this broken ship won't be able to ride the winds and waves?" Yianni burst into laughter. In his
eyes, James had completely comprehended the Forty-Nine Daoisms and was indeed the Paleth Realm's SuprPath. However, the crisis and dangers he faced were by no means solvable by the strength of just a SuprPath. X
