The Almighty Dragon General

James learned from Talvelai about a strange rank beyond the Quasi Bliss Rank, the Ritual Rank.
At the Ritual Rank, one’s strength would alternate between strong and weak.
James was curious about the Ritual Rank and came to ask Qairo about it.
Qairo frowned and asked, is there such a rank? Why don’t I know about it?” “Did you not sense the rank when you tried to break
into the Transcendental Bliss Rank?” “No.” Qairo shook his head.
“That’s strange.” James was puzzled as to why Qairo had not sensed the Ritual Rank. Yet, somehow, Talvelai had entered the
rank.
James asked a series of questions, all of which were related to the Ritual Rank.
However, Qairo could not answer any of them.
After chatting for a while, James stood up and said, “I’ll take my leave first.”
James left with so many unanswered questions. The answers seemed very far away, and it did not seem he would understand
them soon. He was only at the Great Celestial Rank’s peak and had not even reached the Martial Celestial Rank. It would take a
long time before he was even close to unraveling these questions. Trying to understand them right now would be a waste of
time. His top priority was to find out what the Yefteros’ Great Elder, Halianor, was up to.
Judging from how much time had passed, the Yefteros’ Great Elder should have appeared in the Central Plane’s Elysium Hall by
now. However, there were no traces of him. James was incredibly puzzled.
Meanwhile, a meeting was happening in the Yefteros’ main hall.
“Sir Hacathra, I can’t get in contact with our Great Elder.”
An elder of the Yefteros clasped his hands and reported respectfully, “I’ve already tried to contact him many times through the
rune. However, he has not responded. According to our intelligence networks, he did not head to the Central Plane. The Central
Plane is quite peaceful right now.” Hacathra’s expression stiffened, and he murmured, “What on earth is Halianor trying to do? I
asked him to investigate Yui’s death. It’s already been so long, but he’s not in the Central Plane yet?”

Hacathra scanned the main hall and asked, “Is anyone willing to go to the Central Plane to investigate the situation and find out
who killed Yui?” His gaze swept across the elders in the hall. However, everyone stepped backward, evidently reluctant to go to
the Central Plane.
“What’s wrong?” Hacathra’s face darkened, and he said, “The Central Plane is just an outside plane. There are hardly any
powerhouses at the Holy Celestial Rank. Are you guys that scared?”
Many elders were inside the hall, but nobody dared to speak. They were aware of how complicated the current situation was.
Yui was the Yefteros’ Saint and was supposed to become their future leader. He was already at the Holy Celestial Rank’s middle
stage when he left for the Central Plane. In addition, he mastered countless Supernatural Powers, including the Tethralis Art.
Even a powerhouse at the Holy Celestial Rank’s Consummation might fail to kill him. Yet, he was killed in the Central Plane’s
Elysium Hall. It was evident there was someone specifically targeting the Yefteros.
The current situation was very unclear. The Primevals secretly ruled all the Central Plane’s major forces. After James reclaimed
the Supremusseum, he sent letters of challenge to the Central Plane’s major forces. However, the Primevals behind these forces
have not yet shown any signs of taking action. It seemed they were waiting for the Yefteros to make the first move.
