Chapter 5186

The appearance of the founder of the Supremusseum caused a stir. Of course, ordinary living beings

remained unaware of this. Only the top-tier powerhouses who had once killed James knew. They were

filled with unease because James was lurking in the shadows.

In one-on-one combat, no one could match him. Concealed in the darkness, James had the power to

eliminate them one by one.

A group of top-tier powerhouses stood at the pinnacle of the planes, gathered to discuss their strategy.

After a thorough deliberation, they decided to stay in contact and join forces if James dared to reveal

himself, once again attempting to vanquish him.

At this moment, James had already reached a spiritual mountain not far from the Dieux Academy. He

had rented this spiritual mountain at a certain cost, using it as a temporary base.

Upon arriving in the Central Plane, James did not use his own name and altered his appearance

slightly, adopting the alias “Forty-nine.” As for the reason, Gaius and the others did not ask.

James sat in a lotus position behind the main peak of the spiritual mountain. He had spent countless

epochs cultivating here, absorbing the Empyrean herbs to refine his strength and simultaneously

cultivating his future form. His future form once again ventured into the future. The concept of the future

was merely a creation of James using certain rules he had grasped. There was no true future, or one

could say there were countless potential futures.

His future form had gone to a particular future or had been continuously cultivating there, summoned

back only when needed.

At this moment, his aura surged.

Boom!

His internal aura erupted, soaring into the sky.

“Congratulations on your breakthrough, James,” proclaimed King Marciais. “It’s quite stable. We’ve

been in the third rank for a while, and you’ve just broken through now.”

James dissipated his aura, stood up, and walked toward the few people not far away. He casually

summoned some tables and chairs, then took out Tribulation Liquid to drink.

“We’ve nearly depleted all the Empyrean herbs from the Ancient Clan’s army in our recent raids.

Without the assistance of these herbs, it’s hard for us to advance our realm. We’ll have to figure out

ways to acquire more Empyrean herbs,” James said as he sipped the liquid.

He swirled his eyes as he thought where to obtain Empyrean herbs.

“Let’s not rush,” Taran said. “Now that we’re in the Central Plane, and this is a high-class place. There

are likely plenty of rare Empyrean herbs. Besides, there are countless planes to explore. Let’s take our

time. We can plan further after becoming disciples of the Dieux Academy.”

“Good point,” James nodded.

King Marciais said, “James, why do we have to join the Dieux Academy when there are so many other

forces in the Central Plane? Moreover, with our strength, we don’t necessarily have to join any forces.

We can venture on our own or even establish our own force.”

James smiled and explained, “While Dieux Academy may not be the most powerful, its network of

connections is strong. Joining the academy is just the first step. My goal is to take control of the

academy and become its leader.”

While it might be challenging, controlling Dieux Academy would provide access to abundant resources,

making it easier to regain his peak. Additionally, once he controlled the academy, he could leverage its

vast network of connections.

Upon hearing James’ ambitious plan, the others were momentarily stunned but did not speak further.

James stood up and said, “Considering the timing, the Dieux Academy’s recruitment of new disciples is

about to begin. Let’s leave here for now.”

After standing up, James withdrew his future form, and the group left the spiritual mountain to head

towards the universe where the Dieux Academy was located.

Soon, they arrived at their destination. However, the void outside the universe was crowded with many

living beings who were being prevented from entering the Dieux Universe where the academy was

located.
