The Almighty Dragon General

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?”
