Apotheosis

Nory nodded and said, "Yes, I am from the Mo Clan in the northern part of the city."

The Mo Clan was not a well-known noble clan, but there was a renowned ancestor in their history and his name was Jack Mo.

In his youth, Jack had joined the imperial army and led them to many victories. And because of his extraordinary feats, the Mo Clan was given the title of a noble clan at that time.

Nevertheless, there was no other influential figure that sprung up from the clan after Jack Mo. Thus, the Mo clan remained at the bottom amongst all the noble clans.

"If you're a member of a noble clan, why did you still join the initial exam of the Cloud Sect?" Zen asked.

If Nory was indeed a member of a noble clan, he didn't need to join in the initial exam of the Cloud Sect. But Zen could clearly remember that Nory did sign up for the exam with him.

With a smile, Nory replied, "My clan didn't grant me a noble clan certificate, so I needed to sign up for the initial exam like anybody else."

Wurth interjected, "From how I see it, you're in a bad place within your own clan. But, are you upset with the current affairs of your clan?"

Nory nodded and answered, "Well, that's true. Though we haven't had any influential clan member for many years, the rest of the clan members are making great efforts to help improve our clan's standing. I heard that my other relatives invited some of their friends they met in the Cloud Sect to our clan party. And here I am, doing nothing."

But Nory didn't tell them the whole truth.

In order to boost the clan's standing, it was not only necessary that the clan had its own strength and influential members; it also required the clan to have

exchanged glances and then looked at Nory with a smile, anticipating for him to say something.

After hesitating for a while, Nory solemnly said, "Zen, Wurth, it would be my pleasure if you will come with me to my clan's party next month."

Zen and Wurth both nodded and smiled at Nory.

"Hey, what about me? Am I not invited?" Sean said, fooling around with Nory as he patted the latter's shoulder hard.

"Of course! How can I forget you?" Nory chuckled.

The four had the best night together as they drank their hearts out and did not go back home until late that evening.

When Zen was finally back to his place, he began to check his new possessions from his recent adventures.

During his trip to the White Emperor City, Zen obtained different new things. Aside from the two crystals embedded in his arms, he got a pile of valuable other things.

Some of those valuable things were the spiritual weapons from the Illuminating Soul Realm masters that Zen defeated in the fairy palace. When they died, their spiritual weapons didn't die with them. These weapons were left scattered on the floor and Zen kept them.
