Chapter 5197
James became the first person to break the seal and reach the peak of the mountain.
He had finished all nine tests and came in first for the assessment.
On the other hand, his team members remained in their spots and acted as if they were still trying to decipher the scripture.
The group of them had discussed and agreed on the current arrangement beforehand.
After James had passed the test, the rest of them would complete the final test one after the other at different time intervals to
make it seem more natural.
The other participants were intrigued when they saw that James had succeeded in breaking the seal and completing the final
test.
"Who's that guy? Which group does he belong to?"
"He managed to decipher and learn the Genesis Path of a plane within such a short amount of time?!"
The participants were so focused on learning and understanding the contents of the scripture.
They did not even realize that they did not have to study the entire scripture to break the seal.
After a short while, King Marciais got up and strode toward the seal’s barrier.
He created an opening in the barrier and headed for the mountain peak.
Following that, Gaius, Gurgen, and Taran each did the same at different times.
Eventually, the five of them took the top five spots in completing all nine tests first.
A huge, wide arena could be found at the top of the mountain.
The arena was protected by a powerful, mysterious formation.
James and his members realized that they could not enter the arena due to the formation.
Since there were no further instructions on what they should do now, James’ team decided to wait patiently for the academy's
next announcement.
"Those human cultivators performed very well,"
Xhemal commented smilingly, "They realized they couldn't finish deciphering the entire scripture within the time limit.
So, they decided not to waste any more time and went ahead to attempt breaking the seal."
"Find out where these men are from,"
Jorah instructed one of his disciples.
The academy had created a record of all the visitors’ personal information before they allowed outsiders into the Dieux Universe.
Soon enough, they had found the information showing James’ team’s background.
"Sir Jorah, those men came from a third-level plane.
We had the members from Mount Morroewa deliver our invitation to these men."
"All five of them belong to the same plane?"
Jorah widened his eyes in surprise.
"Yes.
That's what it says in our records."
"Have one of our disciples from Mount Morroewa come to the main hall now,"
Xhemal ordered.
He was getting more and more curious about those five human cultivators.
A brief moment later, Ziyad entered Dieux Academy's main hall.
Ziyad was a disciple with the most seniority and experience training and studying at Mount Morroewa.
However, their group at Mount Morroewa was considered one of the weaker groups under Dieux Academy.
Even Ziyad’s master did not make it to qualify as Dieux Academy's elite members.
"Did you invite these human cultivators to join our recruitment?"
Xhemal asked.
Ziyad took a good look at the five human cultivators shown in the image of Dieux Academy's special realm.
He had a slightly puzzled look on his face.
"i've given out several invitations this time, but I don’t recall having met these men."
Xhemal lifted his hand and conjured James’ invitation card.
Ziyad still remembered the code number of the invitations he had delivered personally.
"That's correct.
This is one of the invitation cards that I handed out."
"Tell us what happened on this plane."
"Understood."
Ziyad continued, "The cultivators found on this plane were rather weak.
I couldn't detect any beings with ranks above the Sovereign Rank within that plane.
However, one of the human cultivators there managed to stop and ward off a Sovereign First Rank member from Dieux
Academy.
Also, I could not determine that man’s cultivation rank at all.
However, I don’t see that man here among those five human cultivators."
"interesting..."
Jorah slowly stroked his beard.
Xhemal waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright.
You can leave now."
"Understood."
Ziyad bowed slightly and excused himself.
Despite their efforts to keep a low profile, James and his members had nonetheless caught the Dieux Academy's higher-ups’
attention.
