James could not help but inquire, “What mistake did the senior disciple of the Tempris House make that led the Head of Tempris House to take such drastic measures? Why did he go so far as to wage a war and even kill a million disciples who pleaded for mercy at the Tempris House?”
“Ah,” Xenia let out a soft sigh. She refrained from delving into the specifics of the senior disciple’s mistake. “After that incident, the master was labeled as a demon, leading to a steady exodus of disciples. Many either left the academy altogether or joined other houses. As news of this incident spread, no living being was willing to join the Tempris House anymore. Despite the favorable treatment its disciples received, no one was willing to sign up,” she continued.
Hearing this, James seemed to have grasped the situation.
“Considering all of this information, do you still intend to join the Tempris House?” Xenia gazed at him and said, “If you’re not inclined, no one will force you, including the master.”
“Why not?” James sported a smile and said, “The Tempris House boasts numerous spiritual mountains. It’s peaceful and ideal for my cultivation.”
He redirected the conversation and asked, “Yet, I’m genuinely curious about what the senior disciple of the Tempris House did wrong. What prompted the Head of Tempris House to take such drastic actions, even killing numerous innocent disciples who begged for mercy?”
Xenia held her silence in response to this question. She was unwilling to share, which James understood. With that, he took his leave.
After uncovering the truth behind the incident, he chose not to leave the Tempris House. Instead, he believed it to be an appropriate location for his cultivation. He discovered a spiritual mountain nearby, which harbored a potent Accumulation Formation and an abundance of Empyrean Spiritual Energy. However, the peak’s building was somewhat run-down, bearing traces of dust as if it had long been uninhabited.
Upon settling on the spiritual mountain, James quickly started tidying up. In just a short moment, the entire area gleamed with cleanliness. Next, adjacent to the manor, he set up an Insulation Formation to halt the escape of his aura and thwart Zen probing. After that, he set up a time formation.
James took a seat in the manor and took out an Acmean Berry. It hovered before him, emitting a faint glow. This radiance formed enigmatic inscriptions, signifying that the berry held immensely formidable energy.
