Apotheosis

The Wild Goose Pass was one of the exits from the Source World to the chaos.

Despite not being the most important exit, as the Wild Goose Pass did not belong to any force, it was favored by neutral commercial alliances.

The Source World consisted of many powerful forces. Commercial alliances had to bribe these forces to deliver goods past the borders.

Some powerful commercial alliances thought it would be better to transport their goods outside the Source World and return to the Source World through every pass, which was also a shortcut.

The Sweltering Desert was adjacent to the Wild Goose Pass. Those who were familiar with the trade routes would naturally not lose their way in this desert. However, there were always some exceptions, such as Zen.

"Yes." Zen nodded in admission of his predicament.

But the woman wouldn't know that Zen was not from the Source World at all.

"This sandstorm has enshrouded the whole desert. I have been looking for an exit for a long time, but still can't find it. How can I leave the Sweltering Desert?" Zen asked, seizing the chance to clear his own doubts.

However, the woman did not directly answer Zen. With a faint smile, she slowly said, "Sir, if you want to leave the Sweltering Desert, then where are you going?"

Zen reckoned that she wouldn't have any connections with the Yellow Emperor Guards, so he replied honestly, "Excellence City."

The woman showed no surprise on her face. "Excellence City is a large city in the north of the Sweltering Desert. I have been there before."

The woman appeared to be evading his question, and this made Zen a little impatient. He asked directly, "In that case, could you tell me how to leave this desert?"

The woman replied with a smile, "There is a way to leave this desert, but you have to wait until the sandstorm in the Sweltering Desert subsides. Then you can walk north all the way out of the desert."

Zen also knew that he could not get out of the desert mostly because of this sandstorm. He then asked, "How long will this sandstorm last?"

"Once the sandstorm in the Sweltering Desert starts to blow, it will last for about one year and a half."

Zen frowned slightly at the woman's response. He needed to go to the Excellence City and meet up with Emily and the others. One year an

After some preparation, she took out a crooked green flute. As she placed it near her mouth and gently blew, a melodious sound burst forth from the instrument.

Wooo...

Just as the flute started to whistle, a strange happening occurred.

The yellow sand rolling around the desert seemed to have heard the music and shifted to both sides to make way for them.

"What is this?" he wondered aloud in awe.

Just as the sand moved away, Zen felt a strong aura of Space Law.

It seemed that the illusion of sandstorm was created using the Space Law, or even the Truth of Void Destruction. Zen had no idea how such a fierce beast hiding in the desert would be able to command such a strange illusion.

"This flute was given to me by the Mist Summoning Spirit," Maggie confided to Zen in a whisper. "By using it, I was able to escape from the Sand Country."

Zen glanced at the flute and asked, "Are you the only one in possession of this flute in the entire Sand Country?"

If she used this flute to hide in the desert, then it was not surprising that she could escape from those pursuing her.

Maggie sadly shook her head. "There are a total of three flutes in the Sand Country. That is why I am afraid that the new king's people would be able to catch up to us and..." Her voice trailed off, her meaning clear.

Zen nodded. Since he had found the way to leave the desert, he was no longer so anxious.

Maggie played the flute and led the way. No sand came close to them after it had parted to make way for their group.
