As soon as Xezal appeared in the hall, James could instantly tell she had recovered her powers by looking at the aura and
energy she was emanating.
Also, James could sense that Xezal had perfected her art.
Xezal had been working on cultivating and developing a mysterious art all this time. She was required to go through thousands
of reincarnations. The combination of all her experiences during the reincarnations would then help her fully complete the art.
James had come across several Holy Celestial Rank cultivators during his trip to the Dark World. As he observed Lady Wikolia’s
aura, James discovered she had leveled up and entered the Holy Celestial Rank.
“James Caden?”
“Who’s that?”
The elders of the Dieux Academy had puzzled looks on their faces as they exchanged glances. They did not have any members
with that name in the academy.
Xezal or Lady Wikolia walked over to an empty seat and sat down comfortably.
Her gaze drifted across the room. Then, Lady Wikolia said in a passive voice, “Are all of you still unaware that one of your elders,
Forty-nine, is actually James Caden, the founder of the Supremusseum?”
A stunned silence greeted her announcement.
All the people in the hall turned their gazes toward James as they waited for his response.
“You just won’t give up, do you?” James was not too concerned about Lady Wikolia revealing his identity.
It was because James was no longer the weak cultivator he was when he had just arrived at the Central Plane. Although he had
only achieved the early stage of the Petit Celestial Rank, the resilience and strength of James’ body were almost unrivaled.
Currently, only a handful of people from the various planes of existence could inflict some damage to James’ body. Those who
could cause actual harm to him were mostly legendary cultivators who had perished a long time ago.
“I was going to track you down to exact my revenge soon. I didn’t expect you to show up before me voluntarily.” James’ eyes
burned with rage.
Lady Wikolia was the very reason why James had met with a bloody end in his last life.
Lady Wikolia let out a soft chuckle. “It seems you are in a bit of trouble. Do you need my help?” She teleported and reappeared
next to James. Lady Wikolia circled her arms around James’ waist and pushed her face closer to his.
She smiled mischievously. “Give me a kiss, and I will get rid of this man from the Valiant Alliance.” James wished he could send
Lady Wikolia out of his sight with a blast. However, his powers were not strong enough.
At the moment, James had yet to gain full access to the powers of his body.
Despite having immense resilience and durability, James stood no chance at fighting against a Holy Celestial Rank cultivator.
Meanwhile, Lady Wikolia paid no mind to all the gazes she was receiving from the cultivators around her.
She had completed the Wrencolia Art and reached the Holy Celestial Rank.
Lady Wikolia was pretty much matchless across all levels of these planes.
“Get off me,” James said in a rough voice.
“You’re still so short-tempered even after all these years.” Lady Wikolia gently nudged his chin up. “If you had accepted my
feelings back then, we could have become the most beautiful couple of that era. Also, I wouldn’t have had to gather all those
cultivators to ambush you.” Lady Wikolia was not affected by the cold expression on James’ face. She smiled playfully. “You tried
to conceal your identity as you worked on your cultivation and training all this time. Now that your secrets are out, your old
enemies will come looking for you soon. In your last life, you barely survived the attack even though you had reached the peak of
your powers. You won’t be able to make it this time either. I am the only person who can help you now.”
“It’s a little too early for you to say that.”
As a steely voice resounded through the space, a man materialized in the hall.
Upon seeing the man’s face, James curled his lips. “Sir Lemuel, you’re back.”
It was Lemuel, the founder of the Dieux Academy.
“Sir Lemuel!”
The members of the academy had looks of surprise and excitement on their faces as they got to their feet to welcome Lemuel.
