Chapter 5428

James and the others swiftly navigated through the darkness. When passing through a Primeval’s

area, James suddenly came to a halt and said, “Having too many people is a bit conspicuous. Here’s

the plan, all of you wait for me at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion in this area. I’ll go to the Dieux

Academy at the Central Plane of the outside world.” James intended to discreetly go to the Dieux

Academy and bring back Gaius, Gurgen, Zavis, and Taran.

“Alright.” Thea nodded. The others had no objections.

“Don’t reveal your true identity. Change your appearance and aura,” James instructed before handing

the token given by Xoel to Thea.

After making brief arrangements, James quickly departed, disappearing into the dark space. Once he

left, the others wasted no time and swiftly headed towards the world ahead, waiting for James at the

Heavenly Secrets Pavilion branch of this area.

James unleashed a Boundarybreaker Rune. Upon reappearing, he found himself at the edge of the

Dark World beyond the Central Plane. He then cast another Boundarybreaker Rune, swiftly returning to

the Central Plane.

Upon reaching the Central Plane, he urgently made his way to the Dieux Academy. This time, he

assumed the appearance of Forty-nine. He drew the attention of many disciples as soon as he

appeared at the Dieux Academy entrance.

“Mr. Caden,” they respectfully greeted him, while some powerful ones looked disdainful. In their eyes,

James was not qualified to be an elder of the Dieux Academy.

James ignored them and swiftly headed to Mount Caden.

“Forty-nine has returned.”

“He finally came back after disappearing for so long.”

“During this time, the Valiant Alliance has been continuously exerting pressure on the Dieux Academy

to hand over Forty- nine.”

The news of James’ return quickly spread. James did not know that since he seized an eighth-level

plane from the Valiant Alliance, they had been pressuring the Dieux Academy to surrender him and the

plane. In James’ absence, the academy had been stalling. James was unaware of these and he did not

want to care. He directly came to Mount Caden.

“Mr. Caden.”

“Elder.”

Many disciples of Mount Caden called out to James.

However, he paid no attention to them and went directly to the back mountain, to the secluded place

where King Marciais and the others were in seclusion.

They had been in seclusion within the time formation since James left, never venturing out. James had

provided them with a lot of cultivation resources and many secret Supernatural Arts before his

departure.

As soon as James returned, they sensed it.

“James is back?” Zavis spoke first, saying, “While you were away, we focused on cultivating diligently.

I’ve now reached the peak late stage of the Petit Celestial Rank, just one step away from the great

peak.” Taran asked, “Where have you been all this time?” Gaius spoke up, “Even in seclusion, we

caught wind of your victory in acquiring an eighth-level plane from the Valiant Alliance at the

Supremusseum. The news of the Supremusse Lotus being seized has spread across countless

planes.”

James interrupted with a slight wave of his hand, saying, “A lot has happened during this time. Dieux

Academy is no longer secure, and I must take you back to the Endlos Plane.”

Hearing this, Zavis asked, “What happened?”
