The Almighty Dragon General

The Almighty Dragon General Chapter 4641-The four disciples departed contentedly. As for James, he kept a certain distance
from the elder.
He could not shake the persistent feeling that something was wrong.
“Who are you?” James looked at the elder puzzledly.
“Ahem.” The elder straightened his posture, cleared his throat, and said solemnly, “Young man, listen carefully. I am the Head of
Tempris House at the Verde Academy and one of the top ten powerhouses of the academy. I place third amongst these ten
powerhouses.
“So, are you impressed?” He gazed at James, his old face lighting up with a bright smile. James attempted to gauge the elder’s
cultivation rank, but it seemed the latter had mastered a technique to obscure his aura. James could not ascertain his exact
cultivation base.
Nonetheless, being ranked third in the Verde Academy was sufficient to denote his formidable abilities. At the very least, he must
have reached the Late Boundless Rank of the Caelum Acme Rank.
“Beginning today, you’ll be a disciple of the Tempris House,” the Head of Tempris House declared as he stroked his beard
solemnly. He continued, “In fact, it is only fitting that we arrange a grand initiation ceremony after successfully recruiting such a
promising disciple. It’ll undoubtedly
astonish the other academies.
“It’s set. That’ll be the plan.” The man smiled warmly, directing his gaze at James. He then asked, “Young man, what is your
name?”
James matched his seriousness and responded, “I am James Caden.”
“That’s a nice name. For the time being, make yourself at home in the Tempris House. There are numerous spiritual mountains
within this domain, and this entire area falls under my jurisdiction. Feel free to explore as you wish. I’ll notify the other academies
and extend invitations to their Heads for your initiation ceremony,” the Head of Tempris House concluded before disappearing,
leaving James in a state of bewilderment.
Had he truly become a disciple of the Verde Academy? He had some understanding of the Verde Academy. It had five major
branches, and the Tempris House was one of them. Other than that, the specifics were unclear to him.

“Hey, you there, come here.” James gestured to a cunninglooking disciple standing not too far away. This particular disciple was
part of the group that escorted him up the mountain earlier. He seemed to be in his twenties. He wore a white robe and had a
rather striking appearance. However, his cultivation rank was not exactly impressive-merely at the Late Stage of the Terra Acme
Rank. He was far from reaching the Boundless, even within the various realms.
In the former Chaos District, a cultivation base of this level would have one regarded as a powerhouse. Yet, within the
Nine Districts where powerhouses were plentiful, it became rather modest.
The young man approached James with a bright smile and called out, “Did you ask for me?”
James asked sincerely, “Can you tell me about the background of the Tempris House? Why does a substantial academy like this
have so few disciples?”
“Well...” the young man hesitated for a moment.
“Cut the rambling and get to the point!” James yelled, making the young man tremble.
“Quite some time ago, the Tempris House used to flourish with a multitude of disciples. However, due to an
unfortunate event, it underwent a drastic change. Its talent pool dwindled, and now, hardly any living beings are willing to
become part of the Tempris House.”
Intrigued by this revelation, James inquired, “What event?”
“Um, I’m afraid I can’t reveal that. It would be best you asked the master directly.” With evident apprehension, the young man
hurriedly scuttled away.
James stroked his chin and muttered, “There’s definitely something going on here.”
Releasing his Zen, he surveyed the Tempris House and sensed the presence of the Head of Tempris House on a spiritual
mountain. In a swift motion, James vanished from his original position and materialized beside the Head of Tempris House the
next instant.
However, upon arriving, James was startled by what he saw. The area was blanketed in graves. As far as he could see, there
were potentially millions of them. Taken aback by the scene, he could not restrain himself from inquiring, “Why are there so many
graves here?”
