Apotheosis

"Please, take it. I have no lack of divine crystals," Zen said, nodding his head encouragingly.

He had a large sum of money on him, so the divine crystals truly possessed little value to him.

However, the eyes of the other disciples of the Sword Light Palace filled with envy when he handed the bottle of Sword-reading Liquid to Kenelm.

They had previously never imagined they'd be able to pass through the Sword Wall, but if they could get their hands on the Sword-reading Liquid, it would certainly give them a much better chance. Even Carlisle, a man of little talent, was confident in crossing the Sword Wall with the use of the Sword-reading Liquid.

Although Zen could make the normal Sword-reading Liquid perfect, he didn't have any more of such a treasure.

The disciples looked at the Sword-reading Liquid with eager eyes. Although they did not speak, their thoughts had been written on their faces.

Zen looked at all the people waiting close by and a great idea popped into his head.

He strode over to a group, all of them with fear etched onto their faces. What Zen had done beneath the Sword Wall had clearly left a strong impression.

"I would like to strike a deal with you," Zen offered.

"What... what kind of deal?" a middle-aged man asked nervously and wide eyed.

"I would like to trade this bottle of Sword-reading Liquid with perfect truth aura for your diluted Sword-reading Liquid. The more diluted the better," Zen said holding up the bottle he'd received from Carlisle.

He opened the small jade bottle as he spoke, allowing the aura to rush out and twirl playfully in the air.

Their eyes ignited with excitement when the others saw the small jade bottle.

The concentration of the diluted Sword-reading Liquid was only one percent of that of the undiluted one, and the price was far lower. What was Zen thinking? What kind of deal was this?

"How many bottles would you like?" the middle-aged man asked curiously.

Zen thought a while and asked, "How about you set the price?"

The middle-aged man pondered on for a moment, unsure if he was being tricked somehow. Finally, he turned to the others and ordered them to hand over their diluted Sword-reading Liquid. "We will not be passing through the Sword Wall today!" he announced.

The thirty men behind him had obviously come as a si

'Rumble...'

The trembling excited the crowd, and the anticipation of the next steps they would take began to build.

"It's begun!"

"God bless me. I must cross it this time!"

"This is the most important challenge of my life!"

People of all ages and genders lingered beneath the Sword Wall. Some had been trapped under here for as long as they could remember and every time this challenge was just as great to them.

As the Sword Wall continued to shake, the long swords that were attached to it all fell off.

"Clang! Clang! Clang..."

The long swords collided in a metallic thunder as they fell. After falling a bit, the swords seemed to possess a mind of their own and flew towards the other side of the wall, like a storm of swords had rained down from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the long swords which had been attached to the wall had now disappeared completely.

A young man in a white robe walked out of the Sword Wall and said in a low voice, "The Sword Wall has been opened. Anyone who wishes to join the Oneness Sky Palace can hang your sword on the wall. In doing this, you may climb over the Sword Wall!"

Hearing these words, the disciples of the Sword Light Palace were stunned. This was much simpler than they imagined and only served to boost their confidence.

"How hard could it be!"

"Don't take it lightly.

Hanging the sword on the wall is not that easy."

Most of them then took out the small jade bottles and gulped down the Sword-reading Liquid in one swig before rushing to the Sword Wall. It was time.
