Chapter 5070
King Marciais had previously prevented James from meeting Thea primarily to cultivate his
mental fortitude.
When a person desires something, their mind struggles to attain tranquility. Desires come
in various forms. When encountering familiar friends, the desire to see them arises,
especially with one's own family and close friends, which can lead to strong desires.
Now, James had attained Martial Stillness, reaching the pinnacle of the Martial Path and
mastering Heart Power. At this stage, he was finally allowed to meet Thea.
"Alright," James nodded. At that moment, he wanted to meet Thea. Although the Martial
Path demanded a high state of mental fortitude, it did not necessitate the complete
abandonment of all emotions and desires.
James vanished from the Orstellen Sect in an instant. The next moment, he appeared in
the spiritual mountain inhabited by humans.

Two epochs had passed since James began his seclusion, and the Orstellen Convention
was about to commence.
Powerhouses from the Ten Districts had gathered in the universe where the Orstellen Sect
was located, waiting for the convention to begin. However, Thea and other humans had
arrived two epochs earlier. They had found a spiritual mountain relatively close to the
Orstellen Sect and temporarily settled there.
James appeared outside the spiritual mountain, still assuming the identity of the Orstellen
Sect's saint, with plans to surprise Thea.
"Who's there?" As soon as James appeared, disciples guarding the spiritual mountain
approached and blocked his way.
"Saint... Saint Zuriel!" After getting a clear look at James, they were stunned, quickly
stepping back to clear a path for him.
James smiled gently, taking a step forward and heading towards the mountaintop.

There were several buildings on the mountain's peak, where Human Race powerhouses
were residing, waiting for the Orstellen Convention to begin.
James’ appearance immediately caught the attention of many Human Race powerhouses.
Among them, a man approached with a beaming smile and said, "Saint Zuriel, you’re here.
Where’s Sir Marciais? It’s been two epochs. Why hasn't he brought me to the Orstellen
Sect?"
James glanced at Hetsema. Two epochs ago, he was only at the Quasi Boundless Rank, but
now he had entered the Chaos Rank. His strength was impressive, making him the most
powerful among James' children.
Meanwhile, Jacopo, who was the Lord of the Human Race and enjoyed the providence of
the Human Race, had also been at the Quasi Boundless Rank two epochs ago.
Crossing from the Quasi Boundless Rank to the Chaos Rank was an incredibly challenging
feat.
James cast a brief glance at Hetsema and instantly saw a trace of malevolence deep
within him. He had hidden it quite well.

"So, that’s it," James realized.
Having cultivated the highest realm of the Martial Path and mastered Heart Power, James
could see through many things. Perhaps when King Marciais first met James, he had
already glimpsed some of James' desires deep within his heart, which was why he had not
allowed James to reveal his identity. It was all part of a plan to temper him.
As for the malevolence and resentment deep within Hetsema, James did not dwell on it
too much. After all, Hetsema had grown up among the Dooms and had been instilled with
the concept of revenge by Wyot from a young age. Over time, those malevolent feelings
and resentments would gradually dissipate.
"King Marciais is busy with the preparations for the Orstellen Convention and doesn’t have
the time. After the convention ends, you can visit the Orstellen Sect and officially become
a disciple," James said calmly.
At this moment, several other human powerhouses had arrived.
