Chapter 1497
Levitating while constantly rotating in mid-air, he exuded a terrifying aura.
Meanwhile, there was also a glamorous-looking woman in the underground basement. She was Yasmine Lee, the
current family head of the Lees.
She had been waiting for him for quite some time. However, Xavi continued minding his own business and showed
no signs of noticing her. Hence, she could only stand there and wait silently.
After approximately half an hour, the energy enveloping Xavi dissipated, and he slowly descended to the ground. At
that moment, he seemed much more youthful than he had been during the Mount Thunder Conference.
Opening his eyes, he stood up and looked at Yasmine before him, saying, “I told you not to interrupt me unless the
situation’s dire while I’m in closed-door meditation.”
“Grand Patriarch…”
Yasmine hung her head.

“Speak.”
Yasmine narrated the chain of events that unfolded to him. She especially mentioned the Cadens.
“Grand Patriarch, the Cadens have grown too strong. Putting aside Tobias who had turned a traitor, they now have
three eighth-rank grandmasters-Bennett, James, and Thomas. Thomas, in particular, is terrifying. I just received
news today that he deflected the attacks of both Bennett and Tobias at the same time and sent them flying.
“Grand Patriarch, the time has come for the Lees to choose a side. If we choose the wrong camp, we might share
the same fate as the Gu Sect a century ago.”
Upon hearing this, Xavi’s expression turned grim.
The situation was indeed dire.
After long contemplation, he said, “We shouldn’t act recklessly at the moment. Spread my word. Dump all family
businesses in the outside world and retreat from the Capital.”
“But, Grand Patriarch…”
Yasmine was stunned.
A slight grin crept up on Xavi’s face, and he said, “Now that I’ve refined the Spirit Turtle’s core, my strength is
greatly boosted, and my Dragon Siddhi is two levels away from maxing out. We should bide our time for now. Once
the situation stabilizes in Sol and my Dragon Siddhi reaches the twelfth level, I will be invincible.”
As Xavi was confident of his strength, he would not choose a side. Now, the only thing he could do was lie low and
bide his time. He would only appear once the opportune moment presented itself and after his Dragon Siddhi
reached the twelfth level. By then, he would be invincible.
“Spread my word.”
“Understood.”
Although Yasmine was the family head, she did not dare go against Xavi’s orders.
As she turned to leave, she weighed the pros and cons. She believed that James was influential, and his supporters
were many. If nothing went wrong, he would be the one to emerge victorious. Since the Lees were going to dump
their businesses, why not curry favor with Maxine by transferring them to her? That way, the Cadens would not

Then, she swiftly made the necessary arrangements.
In the underground basement…
Xavi was sitting in a lotus position on the ground.
The Dragon Siddhi was a secret martial arts heirloom passed down by the Lees’ ancestors. There were twelve
levels in total, with each more difficult than the one before. According to the ancient book of the family, the highest
level his ancestors reached was ten.
No one had been able to reach the eleventh level. Now, he had reached the tenth.
“The Dragon Siddhi becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate with each level. Based on my current cultivation
speed, I would only reach the eleventh level in ten years and the twelfth in fifty years.”
He was anxious.
Although his vitality had increased after refining the Spirit Turtle’s core, there was no guarantee he would live for an
additional fifty years.
He wanted to be the most powerful individual in the world. However, he could not wait for another fifty years.
