Chapter 5195
Some cultivators had begun attacking the other participants as they entered the mountain’s mid-range.
These participants were mostly lone cultivators who had come to join the Dieux Academy's recruitment by themselves.
"James, are you not going to move to the front of the crowd and try to win the first place?"
King Marciais asked as he noticed that James was moving through the course at an unhurried pace.
"Nope,"
James replied nonchalantly.
Dieux Academy was one of the ten most influential forces in Central Plane.
Numerous prominent families and clans had sent their members to take part in the academy’s event this time.
Their recruitment was gaining a lot of attention across the different planes of existence.
However, James wanted to remain inconspicuous.
He had modified his appearance and aura.
Yet, James might catch unwanted attention if he stood out too much from the other participants.
He might face a few problems if someone were to look into his background and discover James’ identity.
The mountain path grew steeper and tougher as the participants moved through the subsequent tests.
Fortunately, the remaining tests were fairly simple for cultivators who had attained superb powers and skills.
Soon enough, some participants had arrived near the peak of the mountain.
However, those people were forced to stop before the location for the final test.
As they caught up with the others, James and his members could also see the peak of the mountain, which was less than a
hundred meters away from them.
A huge stone wall conjured by the elder from Dieux Academy stood before them.
The participants could see several lines of strange, cryptic inscriptions on the wall.
Beside the stone wall, the elder also erected a stone tablet that carried a description of how one could pass the test.
"The final test is very simple.
Participants have to decipher and understand the scripture shown on the wall.
Once you do that, you will be able to pass through the seal and reach the peak."
The scripture was of obscure, mysterious origin.
Even participants who had achieved ranks greater than James’ and his members’ ranks could not decipher the scripture.
"Uh..."
King Marciais took a furtive glance at the scripture and furrowed his brows.
Then, he leaned in and whispered to James, "isn't that the Genesis Path of one of the many planes of existence?"
Those who had mastered the Genesis Path Scripture could easily make out what was carved on the stone wall.
James and his team members instantly recognized that those lines described the Genesis Path of a plane.
The Genesis Path Scripture detailed the Genesis Path of all the different planes that existed, including the one shown on the
stone wall.
"They are making it difficult for us to keep a low profile..."
James muttered in a low voice.
"This scripture is really tough."
A Sovereign Sixth Rank cultivator frowned slightly as he commented, "i can’t read some of the words shown here."
Another cultivator who had more knowledge relating to the subject began, "if | am not mistaken, this scripture describes the
knowledge of a Genesis Path.
it is most likely the Genesis Path of a third-level plane or planes above that level."
"Genesis Path?!"
"We have a time limit of ten thousand years to get to the top of the mountain.
Now, they want us to learn and understand the Genesis Path of a low-level plane within that amount of time?"
"isn't that a bit too hard?"
"i guess we'll have to put in quite some effort to qualify as elite members of Dieux Academy."
While some participants were busy discussing the difficult scripture, several cultivators sat on the ground and began deciphering
the scripture.
Most of the participants who had gotten this far in the assessment process were excellent, brilliant cultivators.
They could decipher and comprehend the Genesis Path if they made an effort to.
Also, the participants could set up time formations and have more time to work on deciphering the scripture within the formation.
The academy did not specify any rules that refrained them from doing that.
Taran looked at James.
"What do you think? Should we complete the test?"
Taran could decipher the Genesis Path of a third-level plane in just a few days.
it was honestly not a difficult task for him.
"We should."
James gave a small sigh.
He had wished to stay out of the spotlight, yet fate was against him this time.
The final test was for the participants to decipher and understand the Genesis Path of a plane.
The academy did not ask them to master the Genesis Path as well.
if a cultivator could master a plane’s Genesis Path, that would make them the lord of that particular plane too.
However, mastering a Genesis Path was no easy task in itself.
