Apotheosis

Hearing Monica speak about it so cautiously, Zen asked, "Are the truth swordsmanship manuals on the third floor extremely expensive?"

Monica nodded and replied, "Apart from a few Alliance Chiefs, no Flag Master dares to go to the third floor. The high price is the main deterrent. Besides, the manuals on the third floor are called the supreme swordsmanship manuals, which have strict requirements for the compatibility level of Truth of Godly Way."

"What? They have requirements for the compatibility level of Truth of Godly Way?" Zen was surprised to learn this.

"That's right. It's believed that those supreme swordsmanship manuals require a compatibility level of at least 80 percent or 90 percent and some even require a perfect compatibility level of 100 percent," explained Monica.

She thought Zen would choose a truth swordsmanship manual from the second floor. There was no need for him to consider the manuals on the third floor now.

If one's compatibility level was not enough, they could take the Sword-reading Liquid regularly in order to practice the supreme swordsmanship manuals. However, a bottle of Sword-reading Liquid cost ten to twenty thousand divine crystals. Taking the Sword-reading Liquid regularly would be a very expensive affair.

Since Zen was capable of Instant Enlightenment, he had an almost perfect compatibility level with the Truth of Eternal Sword Intent. So that was not a problem for him. As for the price... That wouldn't be a problem, either. His interest in the third floor was very strong now.

"I'd like to go to the third floor and have a look," Zen announced, looking at the stairs not far away.

Monica was speechless. All she could say was, "All right, then let's go up and have a look."

With Monica leading the way, they proceeded upstairs to the third floor.

The space on the third floor was obviously much smaller than that on the first or second floor. From the moment they stepped onto that floor, they could feel waves of energy under their feet.

The stairway behind Zen and Monica had completely disappeared now. They had entered another space.

This space was filled with a dozen light columns that soared up to the sky. Zen stared at them and spotted books with faintly golden covers inside the light columns.

'Those must be the supreme swordsmanship manuals that Monica mentioned, ' Zen thought to himself.

The Dragon City, located at the foot of the Oneness Mountain, was a part of the Oneness Sky Palace. However, the supreme swordsmanship manuals here were extremely important, so rigid protective measures were in place to ensure their safety.

for 3.5 million divine crystals! Even if she sold herself, she wouldn't get that much money.

This supreme swordsmanship manual was useful, but Zen hadn't merged with any Other Shore Token. He kept it in mind for the future when he would merge with an Other Shore Token.

So he continued onward to the other light columns.

The rest few supreme swordsmanship manuals had their own advantages and the swordsmanship they recorded was second to none. The further he went, the higher the price of the swordsmanship manuals was.

When Zen stopped at the last but one light column, he heard the voice say, "The incomplete Godly Ways Blending Swordsmanship, created by Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Back then, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi wanted to integrate the three thousand Godly Ways into the swordsmanship so that he could master the Truth Strike, but he failed... However, the reason he failed is that the three thousand Godly Ways couldn't be fused together. It is not the Godly Ways Blending Swordsmanship's fault..."

"The Godly Ways Blending Swordsmanship?" Zen's eyes suddenly flashed in delight.

Blending the Godly Ways had once become a trend in the Source World. Some extremely talented masters tried it out but all had failed. And the Eastern Emperor Taiyi was one of them.

"This incomplete swordsmanship manual is the result of Eastern Emperor Taiyi's hard work. As it is incomplete, it costs only one and a half million divine crystals," offered the voice.

Looking at Zen's expression, Monica who was behind him gently tugged the corner of his robe and said, "Hey, you don't want to buy this one, do you? This Godly Ways Blending Swordsmanship is a theurgy about blending Godly Ways. It can't even showcase the power of the Truth of Godly Way!"
