Apotheosis

"The temporary owner?" Zen was curious about this title.

Saul laughed, "Yes, this is the rule made by the former host of the fairy palace!"

"Then what can I do as a temporary host? Can I use anything?" Zen asked.

Saul shook his head, "No. You can only take the last test and get a Contemplation Picture."

"What is a Contemplation Picture?" Zen asked. He was thoroughly confused by now.

Saul was curious. "I don't know what world you live in! As a warrior, you don't know what a Contemplation Picture is?"

Zen had read many books, but he had never heard of the Contemplation Picture. So he shook his head and replied, "I really don't know."

"Although you are only at a half-step into the nature level, don't the warriors in your world have life vitality? Nobody can have life vitality avatar? I saw that many people fighting in the pavilion had life vitality avatars. A person needs a Contemplation Picture to have a life vitality avatar." Saul explained to Zen.

This explanation only confused Zen more. "The warriors in the Eastern Region cultivate life vitality avatar based on their cultivation method to meditate. Nobody needs a Contemplation Picture..." Zen responded.

"I see," Saul nodded. "In my opinion, the strength of the people at the Illuminating Soul Realm is low, but the powerful men at the Illuminating Soul Realm in the Eastern Region are much weaker than those at the same level I have seen. As they don't have a Contemplation Picture, their life vitality avatar is not powerful."

"Explain to me more clearly. If I want to have a life vitality avatar, I must have that picture, right?" Zen heard Saul repeatedly emphasizing on the significance of the Contemplation Picture. Although he didn't quite understand it yet, in his heart, Zen felt it must be important.

Saul smiled, "The powerful men in the Eastern Region can cultivate life vitality avatar without the Contemplation Picture. The life vitality avatar made from their meditation can't be passed down with a foundation. So their power will be much weaker. If you can turn life energy into life vitality and gain life vitality avatar through the Contemplation Picture, its power will be ten if not a hundred times stronger!"

Zen understood what Saul said.

It appeared that Saul and the host of the fairy palace did not live in this world. There was another way to cultivate in their world, and it was different from that in the Eastern Region. Something called the Contemplation Picture was needed to have life vitality avatar.

"In this case, how do I get... the Contemplation Picture?" Saul's explanation tempted Zen.

Saul laughed, "Didn't I tell you a few minutes ago? After you pass the first and second tests, you will take the third one. Your performance in the last test will decide your reward."

After saying that, Saul pointed with his hand. Several lights flashed on the wall not far away, and five pictures appeared from nothing.

Zen stared at the five pictures. They were blurry, and he couldn't see them clearly.

"These are your rewards. Each of the five Contemplation Pictures has a different power. The first one, the Heavenly Sword Picture is the worst, and the last one, the

his soul would be destroyed, which was something that Saul was unwilling to see.

Hearing the words rank poison, Zen showed a faint smile.

If another way of attacking was used, Zen would probably be frightened. But Zen had the body of a spiritual weapon, and he was not afraid of any poison.

"Can the snake poison harm me?"

There were a dozen of infant nine-headed snakes, and each of them was 100 feet tall. The snakeheads were strange with different colors, such as yellow, brown, and red. Some snakeheads were colorful and bright.

The snake with the brighter color had a stronger poison.

"Crack!"

The nine-headed snake in the front attacked Zen first.

Its nine heads sprayed saliva at Zen at the same time. He avoided the saliva. When the saliva touched the flowers and grass on the ground, a squeaking sound reverberated through the phantom. All the plants died, and even the ground turned black.

Zen was surprised by the potency of the poison of the nine-headed snakes. If an ordinary person touched a little, they would probably die immediately. Even nature creatures would avoid it when battling a nine-headed snake. They would lose their life if they were not careful.

But Zen was reckless. After he skirted around the poisonous saliva, he hovered on the ground before heading behind the nine-headed snake. He released the broken flying knife in his hand. It shot toward the body of the snake, like lightning.

"Whoosh..."

The nine heads of the snake were flexible. As soon as Zen positioned himself behind the creature, the snakeheads turned and sprayed poisonous saliva at Zen.

Zen couldn't avoid the poisonous saliva despite changing direction several times around the nine-headed snake. He summoned all his strength under his feet and bent his body in an arc. He didn't dodge the poisonous saliva. Instead, he rushed up under it.

"You... want to die?" Saul asked in surprise. He apparently didn't understand why Zen acted in this way.

"Buzz..."

The poisonous saliva was sprayed on Zen's body and corroded his skin. However, Zen stayed calm and rushed to the snakeheads in one breath.
