Chapter 4701

It was specially made for James.

“Sir James, that outfit suits you really well.

It truly transforms your entire demeanor,” Xenia said with a smile.

“You little brat, since when did you become a sweet talker?” James playfully scolded, then stood up

and stretched.

Just then, the door swung open, and Yusef strolled in.

The moment he stepped inside, he addressed James, “Sir James.” “Do you not have any manners?

Get out.

Knock before entering,” James scolded.

“Got it.” Yusef promptly retreated, gently closing the door before knocking and seeking permission to

come in.

“Come in,” James uttered lazily.

Yusef entered with a smile.

“Sir James, nearly everyone has gathered.

We're simply waiting for you.” “Excellent.” With hands casually tucked behind his back, James exited

the room and proceeded toward the foremost peak of the main mountain.

He arrived promptly.

In front of the main hall on the main mountain, powerhouses from different sects, clans, and races of

the Verde District had assembled.

Among them stood legendary powerhouses from the Endlos’ Nine Districts.

James’ arrival was being broadcasted beyond the Verde Academy, the scene unfolding in real-time.

Outside of the academy, living beings from every corner of the Verde District gathered.

“Ts that James?” “He does possess a certain charm.” The spectacle was being projected beyond the

Verde Academy by the powerhouses of the academy.

This visual was even extended to certain pivotal universes within the Verde District and to several

formidable cities.

“Let’s extend our warm welcome to James, the Head of Tempris House,” announced an elegant and

poised woman before the main hall.

Upon hearing her words, James proceeded with deliberate strides.

He soon reached the main hall’s entrance, where a multitude of powerhouses gathered.

Among them were the powerhouses of the Five Houses of the Verde Academy and some powerhouses

from the Endlos’ Nine Districts.

Waleria was among them.

A statue stood in the heart of the main hall’s central region.

James ’ gaze landed on the sculpture, and he blinked in recognition.

Its aura felt strangely familiar as if he had encountered it before, yet the exact memory eluded him.

Then, in a sudden rush, recollection flooded back to him.

At a time when he was still weak and just embarking on his journey as a cultivator on Earth, a

resurgence of Earth's Spiritual Energy had occurred, giving rise to Mount Bane.

At the peak of that very mountain, a statue was erected.

Remarkably, the statue he now beheld mirrored the one atop Mount Bane.

Both figures gazed into the horizon, radiating an aura of world-weary scorn.

In that fleeting moment, a sensation washed over James, suggesting a kinship between the present

statue and the one on Mount Bane.

However, he promptly dismissed the notion, shaking his head.

The statue before him was the founder of Verde, a true powerhouse, while the statue on Mount Bane

was merely the Primeval Age powerhouse of the Human Race from the Twelfth Universe.

At most, his cultivation base would have been at the Emperor Rank, making it impossible for him to be

Verde’s founder.

After a brief pause, James approached the main hall.

Several esteemed Verde Academy powerhouses were standing before the statue, including Lothar.

Right then, a young woman stepped forward and took out a booklet.

She unfurled the booklet and delved into the recitation of certain rules and regulations of the academy,

alongside specific aspects that James, in his capacity as the head, should bear in mind.

In essence, it boiled down to a collection of petty details that were gradually becoming irksome to

James.
