Apotheosis

If Zen's news was true and the exiles could leave this world, then the dispute between the Nine Li race and the Yellow Emperor race would no longer matter.

The bone towers were fortresses, but who in their right mind would stay willingly in that damned place forever?

The oldest man among them wanted to make Zen stronger in hopes that he'd be able to take them back to the Source World one day.

"I'd face any obstacle and experience every pain if it means getting stronger!" Zen proclaimed.

The old man only smiled and turned to Giacomo. "Let Zen absorb the wild bones first. When the Body Tribulations arrive, give him ten shares of blood wild bones."

"Ten shares of blood wild bones?" Giacomo asked in disbelief. "Can he endure them?"

Ten shares of blood wild bones didn't mean just ten blood wild bones. Blood wild bones were very precious in the outside world as well as in the Nine Li race.

And because of the value they held, one would think that there was a scarcity of them. But in truth, if the blood wild bones were distributed according to the blood purity of Nine Li members, there would be enough for everyone and more. This was because very few could handle their power.

For instance, even though Romeo was a genius of the fifth-grade bloodline, he could only use two shares of blood wild bones.

It was also said that Adele only used three shares to undergo the Body Tribulations in the past. Otherwise, the burst of the Body Tribulations would be too powerful for her to withstand.

The old man looked at Zen and smiled. "His body is different from ours. I don't know how he cultivated this body, but it's so much stronger than an ordinary person's. He can withstand ten shares of the blood wild bones."

"I see,"

Giacomo nodded.

The old man was the most powerful warrior in the Nine Li race. His cultivation base was unfathomable and his insight was incomparable. Giacomo would be foolish not to trust his judgement.

"We'll all be watching," said the old man before his body melted into the shadows and disappeared from Zen's sight.

After that, Giacomo took Zen through the warehouses where Z

omeone else is to take your place inside the cave," Giacomo replied calmly. While he did not expect this level of anger from Doran, he was unfazed by it.

"Someone else? I know every member of the Nine Li race! Who else is more qualified than me?" Doran asked coldly before his gaze shifted to Zen. "Are you talking about him?"

"Yes," answered Giacomo. "I am."

"He's a member of our race?" Doran looked Zen up and down. He couldn't remember anyone like him in the Nine Li race.

Their argument immediately attracted the others' attention. Meanwhile, Romeo came out of another cave and noticed Zen standing not far away from him. A smile appeared on his face as he walked up to him. "Hi, Zen! You're here. Have you accepted the blood of our race already?"

After Romeo went back to the bone tower of the Nine Li race, he told the elders about Zen. According to the original plan, they would give Zen Chiyou's blood so that he could be a member of their race.

The acquired blood was weaker than the blood born with, but Zen himself was powerful enough, which would make up for it.

However, getting the blood transfusion would take some time, and Romeo was curious why Zen was sent to the Cave of Wildness so soon.

"A foreigner with the blood transfusion wants to squeeze me out of the Cave of Wildness? Why?" Hearing Romeo's words, Doran became even more furious. Competing with Zen only smeared his reputation!
