Chapter 5487

Zeno was left puzzled.

Gustav approached with a trace of helplessness on his face, saying, “I just wanted to use you to see if

we could lure that black piggy out. It seems he truly had no sentiment towards you. He wouldn’t come to

save you with the Boundarybreaker Rune.”

Then, he waved his hand, and an inscription materialized, floating towards James.

“This is the method to create the Extreme Boundarybreaker Rune. Take it with you, create some runes,

and come back to rescue us,” said Gustav.

James accepted it and said, “I came here for the primitive inscriptions of the Metallum, Silva, and Tellus

Races. Now, I haven’t obtained them. How can I leave?”

Gustav waved his hand again, and a series of mysterious inscriptions appeared.

“I’ve obtained them for you. Here are the primitive inscriptions of the Metallum, Silva, and Tellus Races.

Take them and leave as soon as possible. Although I trust you, many powerhouses may not. If they insist

on keeping you, I won’t be able to help you.” James received the inscriptions of the three races happily.

He thought obtaining them would require some effort, but it turned out to be so easy.

‘Thank you, Mr. Gustav,” James expressed his gratitude.

Gustav then glanced at James and said calmly, “You can leave, but she stays.”

He pointed at Thea.

“No, I must leave with her,” James refused immediately.

Gustav snorted coldly, saying, “What if you never return? Leave her as a hostage. You can only bring her

with you whenever you bring the Boundarybreaker Rune to the Prison World.”

“I…”

“Brat, this is my line in the sand,” Gustav said sternly.

Then, he took a deep breath, softening his tone, and said, ” Rest assured, even though she possesses a

rare Tenebrous Body, nothing will happen to her under my protection at the Eminence Academy. No

living being can bother her.”

James’ expression was filled with uncertainty. He never expected Gustav to leave Thea behind as a

hostage.

At this moment, Thea stepped forward and said, “Honey, Mr. Gustav is a Quasi Bliss Rank powerhouse.

His words should be trustworthy. I should be fine at the Eminence Academy, and my current cultivation

realm is too weak. Following you to the outside world would only be a burden. I’ll stay here and cultivate

seriously.”

Gustav also added, “Brat, rest assured and go. She’ll be safe in my academy, and having a Tenebrous

Body is extraordinary. I’m curious to see how fast she can progress in cultivation.

Besides, I’ll take her as a personal disciple and impart my knowledge to her.”

Upon hearing this, joy spread across Thea’s face. She promptly knelt down and said, “Greetings,

Master.”

Gustav waved his hand, and a powerful force materialized, lifting Thea from her kneeling position.

“I want to stay too,” said Zeno, his eyes darting around, leaving his thoughts unclear.

“You want to stay too?” James frowned.

Zeno nodded and said, “I want to join the Fatescribe Sect.”

He looked at Gustav, a trace of pleading in his expression.” Please recommend me to join the sect, Mr.

Gustav.”

“No problem,” Gustav agreed without hesitation.

Joy appeared on Zeno’s face. He then patted James on the shoulder, smiling.

“James, you’re going back alone this time. When you return next time, my cultivation base will surely

have returned to its peak.” Thea also looked at James, saying, “Honey, be careful when you go out this

time. I’ll be diligently cultivating here.”

With everything settled, James did not say anything more. At this moment, another thought crossed his

mind.

His eyes roamed as he asked, “Mr. Gustav, I’ve cultivated a signature martial art skill. The more primitive

inscriptions I comprehend, the stronger the skill becomes. I wonder how many different races’ primitive

inscriptions your Eminence Academy has. Could you gift them to me?”

Gustav replied calmly, “Brat, don’t be too greedy. The primitive inscriptions from any race are

extraordinary. A living being can spend their whole life and still not comprehend them fully. Cultivating the

primitive inscriptions of one race to the peak can elevate one’s cultivation base to the top. It’s better to

focus on studying the primitive inscriptions of one race.”

James continued to ask, “It’s said that the Prison World is the Ancestral Site, the birthplace of countless

races. I want to know if the humans were born there, and where the primitive inscriptions accompanying

the birth of humans are located.”
