The powerhouses at the border world were waiting for the strange creatures to attack.
However, before an attack was launched on the formation, they sensed a terrifying fluctuation coming from the dark space
outside of the formation.
They immediately left the formation and located where the fluctuation came from.
Just when James was about to hit his limit, the Hagios Sect’s Leader arrived with dozens of powerhouses and besieged the
mysterious black shadow.
An intense battle immediately broke out.
Ultimately, the black shadow fled from the battle.
Even though there were several powerhouses at the Transcendental Bliss Rank, they still failed to capture the black shadow.
James was brought back to the border city’s main hall.
He sat on the ground weakly, and the group of Hagios Sect’s disciples sat around him.
Unfortunately, they were drained of their strengths.
The Hagios Sect’s Great Elder sat in the highest seat and questioned coldly, “What happened?” The exhausted disciples did not
even have the strength to speak.
Moreover, they could sense their great elder was livid and did not dare to speak for fear of getting in trouble.
None of them answered their great elder.
The Hagios Sect’s Great Elder pointed at James, and said, “You there.
Answer me.” James answered, “I was wandering around when I saw some of your disciples leaving the formation.
I followed them, and they brought me to the dark world beyond the formation.
At the end of the Halcyon Road, we stumbled upon a palace...
“T sensed the danger and warned them to leave.
However, they insisted on venturing the spiritual mountain and said they would handle the aftermath.” James recounted
everything to them in detail and shoved the blame on the Hagios Sects disciples.
The Hagios Sect’s disciples did not refute him, knowing it was true.
The Hagios Sect’s Great Elder reprimanded them coldly, “Who gave you all the courage? Don’t you know the world outside
Halcyon Road is extremely dangerous? Aren’t you already aware there are unknown creatures out there?” The eleven disciples
did not dare to refute their great elder.
At that moment, a powerhouse stepped forward and said, “Calm down, sir.
There are so many strange things about this matter.
Let’s figure things out first.” The powerhouse turned to James and asked, “You claimed to have deciphered the formation on the
stone gate, right?” “Yes,” James answered calmly.
“What kind of formation was it?” James summoned the formation inscriptions he learned from the stone gate and displayed them
in front of the powerhouses.
The powerhouse in the main hall stared at the formation before them.
“It looks familiar.” The Hagios Sect’s Great Elder frowned.
Many powerhouses were present, but nobody could understand the formation inscriptions.
A few asked doubtfully, “Did you really crack the formation?” James replied calmly, “Of course.
How else would I be able to display the formation inscriptions if I didn't decipher it?” Xezal studied the formation for a while with a
frown.
Then, she said, “It’s a very profound formation.
Even I am not capable of deciphering it.
How did you comprehend it when you're only at the Holy Celestial Rank?” The other powerhouses also looked at James, waiting
for his explanation.
James replied truthfully, “In the past, I was fortunate enough to come across a great treasure called the Primal Mantra.
It’s how I was able to crack the formation.” James wanted to join the Hagios Sect and verify whether the Primal Mantra consisted
of the Human Race’s primitive inscriptions.
Therefore, he did not hide the truth.
