After James and his companions arrived at Skynet's Telhervo Holy Site, access to the area becextremely restricted.
Except for Rebella, who periodically delivered top-tier cultivation resources and food to the inhabitants, no one else was allowed entry. This lockdown lasted for dozens of entrapochs.
With their powers, James' group could have easily broken the Tirta Grand Formation encircling Skynet. However, they chose not to.
They wished to avoid exposing themselves and alerting their enemies.
Additionally, they wanted to covertly observe how people would react to the impostor's provocations.

Ultimately, their patience and efforts paid off. They gained insights into the movements of various forces. The impostor, using James' nand status, was expanding his influence across the Jademora Empire and other realms.
His first major action was shifting the power balance within the Jademora Empire's administration.
On the surface, Truett and Rebella still held the highest positions-Grand Steward and Vice Grand Steward, respectively.
However, the impostor James secretly issued a series of orders to overhaul the system and establish a new war preparation mechanism.
He disbanded the imperial army.
Despite numerous oppositions, he formed three legions comprising cultivators of the Fifth Xaeclon Rank and above, recruited from all realms. All Soma Daeclon Rank cultivators were also conscripted into these legions. Subsequently, the majority of cultivation resources and treasures from various realms were funneled into these three legions. Maxine, Makara, and Wayra were appointed as the commanders. These changes significantly weakened Truett's and Rebella's positions in the administration.
Conversely, Maxine, Makara, and Wayra, who pledged loyalty to the impostor James, becthree of the most recognized and promising leaders across the realms.
Despite these upheavals, the other war kings remained curiously neutral.
However, those with keen insight could already see that the longstanding peace in the Jademora Empire and the realms was slowly unraveling.
Furthermore, the people of the Great Historial Land, who traditionally acted as observers or guides, did not intervene this time.
None of the grand patriarchs from the Great Historial Land stepped forward to halt these changes. Whenever Rebella visited, she complained about the situation and James inaction. Despite her pleas for retaliation, James consistently declined. Instead of focusing on the discord in the realms, three other matters captured James' interest.

These groups seemed indifferent to the impostor James' commands and continued their own operations.
James sat cross-legged in a hall. He slowly opened his eyes as Youcef escorted a man and a woman inside. The pair frowned slightly upon seeing James in full disguise.
"Your Holiness, the Celestial Sages are here," Youcef greeted James with respect.
James nodded and turned his gaze towards the Celestial Sages.
It had been a considerable tsince he last saw them. The Celestial "m Sages had reached the Daecion Mahayana Rank. Judging by their cultivation, they were likely of the Dacra Rank.
Youcef must have exerted considerable effort to bring the pair here, considering his current level of power. X
