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.

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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"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?"
