Apotheosis

Disappointed, Dorothy walked back to the square. She glared at Daisy and said, "Aunt Daisy! Zen is the person that even grandma cares about!"

She had been expectant to meet Zen but now that he had left, she had become pretty annoyed.

But she was also puzzled. Daisy was behaving very strangely today, very unlike herself.

Daisy's aggressive expression morphed into a gentle smile. She sighed and said, "Of course I know it. He is, after all, someone who could enter the Sea of Truth with his physical body. If we were to really keep him, we would agree even if he brought a thousand people with him, not to mention that he only brought a hundred...The Origin Mountain is so huge, and it could easily hold them."

Felicity and Evaristus looked curiously at each other, while Dorothy frowned. "So why did you let him go?"

"The Oneness Mountain already knew all about it when Winchell brought Zen back," Daisy said, smiling helplessly.

"So what? Could the Oneness Mountain even interfere with Zen's choice? Will grandma allow it to happen?" Dorothy asked, displeased with how things had been going.

The Oneness Sky Palace claimed to be a unified force to the outside world. But from within, there were a thousand complications tangled with each other.

The Oneness Sky Palace had occupied the Oneness Mountain. Its branches occupied the Origin Mountain, Bright Mountain, and the Azure Mountain, etc.

These huge mountains could dominate a region if they were placed anywhere in the Source World.

There was no doubt that the palace in the Oneness Mountain was the main force. But Dorothy had known Zen for quite a time, and this time, the people from the Origin Mountain had saved him. So it was taken for granted that he would join the Origin Mountain.

The Oneness Sky Palace did have the ability to force Zen to join them, but doing that didn't make any sense.

To Dorothy, her grandma was an aggressive figure and wouldn't ever make a concession in a matter as serious as this.

Daisy shook her head and said, "Zen joined the Sword Light Palace after he entered the Source World. His talent was spotted when he cultivated Athemar's Lofty Sword. The boy could actually attain Instant Enlightenment. The Oneness Sky Palace has sent out a few guiders before us, but they were killed ..."

At thi

y day, which is why they put a wall here. Crossing the Sword Wall is the first step to joining the Oneness Sky Palace."

Zen gazed at the wall and asked, "It isn't easy crossing the wall, right?"

"That completely depends," Beldene said seriously. "If you're highly compatible with the swordsmanship, it will be easy for you to succeed. If not, you might not be able to cross the wall in your whole lifetime."

Compatible?

At this, he remembered that Dorothy had mentioned this before. It turned out that the disciples of the Oneness Sky Palace used this wall to test their compatibility degree.

But going by what Dorothy had said, if one could achieve Instant Enlightenment, they would be one hundred percent compatible. Seen that way, he had a high level of compatibility with the swordsmanship. So he assumed it wouldn't be a problem to pass through this wall. But it might not be that easy for the others.

"Get off! This is our place. Go back, you losers!"

a loud voice scolded.

Zen turned in time to see more than twenty angry young men coming their way. The young man in black in the front carried two swords that crossed at his back, his eyes glinting coldly. He was shouting at the disciples of the Sword Light Palace.

"Your place? Have you engraved your name on your turf?" At these words, Elgin's face darkened.

He had never been humiliated like this in the Sword Light Palace.

Beldene, Kenelm, and some others could tolerate this. But Elgin, Faegan, and Jago raised their eyebrows at the young man's words.
