The last thing James would want to see was the Dieux Academy facing its destruction due to James’ affiliation with them.
“By the way, who’s in charge of managing this place?” James asked.
“That would be me.”
A man in a white robe who seemed to be in his forties took a few steps forward.
“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, James. The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s headquarters has sent us a message.
After you escaped from the Dieux Academy, Halianor Yeftero left the place soon afterward. There were no signs of any battle
happening at the academy.”
James felt slightly more relieved upon hearing the news.
He was also surprised by how efficiently the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s communication network had relayed the news. Their
headquarters managed to gather the information and send an update here quickly. Perhaps there were members of the
Heavenly Secrets Pavilion that had infiltrated the Dieux Academy and remained there as informants.
“I am Lavrenti Meiin.”
The man beamed at James. “I have also received the instructions to take you to the headquarters if you wish to go there. When
would you like to visit the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s headquarters?”
“Let’s go there right away.” James got to his feet.
James’ true identity was exposed to the world. Even though he had tried his best to prevent more of his personal information
from getting leaked, James was nonetheless worried that the Yefteros or his other enemies might find the Endlos Plane.
Thea would be in danger if those people learned of her relationship with James.
The Mevryees would inevitably be dragged into this mess as well.
James must acquire the primitive inscriptions belonging to the three remaining Elemental Primevals as soon as possible. If he
could create the Elemental Curse and heal Qairo, James could literally take on any Primevals from the Dark World with Qairo’s
help.
“Sure. Follow me.”
Lavrenti conjured an airship and boarded the ship. James and the others followed behind him.
As the airship started gliding through the air, it was traveling forward by making space leaps repeatedly. Each leap was
equivalent to the distance one could travel by using a mini Boundarybreaker Rune.
After a while, James noticed something strange.
“Aren’t we heading to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s headquarters? Why are we traveling in the direction of the Central Plane?
We’re already in the peripheral regions of the Central Plane,” James asked.
Lavrenti gave a low chuckle. “No one ever said that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s headquarters was located in the Dark World.
In fact, our headquarters is located at the Central Plane. Only a select few from the major groups of Primevals are aware of this
information.”
James had a look of bewilderment on his face.
As the founder of the Supremusseum, James thought he knew everything about the Central Plane or what was happening in and
around the area. Yet, he had no idea an influential and secretive intelligence agency like the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had set
up base at the Central Plane.
Soon enough, the airship entered the space of the Central Plane. They were heading in the direction of an inconspicuous
universe.
James could sense the aura of cultivators with ranks in and below the Ancestral God Rank inside the universe.
However, as the airship passed through layers and layers of formation cast around the universe, James could detect a slight
change in the space around him as they felt more stabilized.
At long last, they landed in a flatland next to a mountainous area.
‘That’s the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s headquarters.”
Lavrenti turned his eyes to the spiritual mountains in the distance. “I haven’t visited the headquarters for years.” Meanwhile,
James tried to examine his surroundings by releasing his Zen. To his surprise, James found that the furthest his Zen could travel
was a few hundred meters away from him. An immense energy was preventing his Zen from extending further out.
“Come with me.”
Lavrenti led James and the others toward the group of tall mountains located not too far away.
