Apotheosis

Valued at just one and a half million divine crystals, the Godly Ways Blending Swordsmanship was considered as the most affordable item amongst the supreme swordsmanship manuals.

But this was an incomplete manual. Plus, this theurgy didn't involve any Truth of Godly Way.

The uncertainty that if Zen could afford such an expense lingered in Monica's mind. Still, even if he could, logic hindered him from draining so many divine crystals.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Zen stated with conviction, "I want the Godly Ways Blending Swordsmanship."

"Huh?"

The guardian of Truth Library raised his eyebrows questioningly, stumped with his words.

It was Eastern Emperor Taiyi who invented the Godly Ways Blending Swordsmanship, so the strength it held was indeed powerful and impressive. But this manual was an incomplete one, and it was common sense that blending Godly Ways wouldn't work. So it really came as a surprise to the guardian that Zen decided to buy the manual.

"Have you blended the Godly Ways before?" the voice asked.

Zen nodded his consent. "Yes, I have. So, the Godly Ways Blending Swordsmanship is suited for someone with experience like me."

"Very well, young man. I'm fascinated to know of your familiarity with blending the Godly Ways at a very tender age. And I wonder how many Godly Ways have you blended? Three? Perhaps five? If the number was insignificant, heed my advice and give it up. The most basic figure estimated for the Godly Ways Blending Swordsmanship to be fully cultivated is five hundred."

The Godly Ways Blending Swordsmanship was very powerful. Even if one used the Godly Ways' internal momenta to carry out the swordsmanship, they could fight against Other Shore Realm warriors. If anybody excelled in using this swordsmanship, they could attain supremacy.

But the time and trouble spent in blending so many Godly Ways could prove worthless to any person. They opted to venture and set sail towards the Other Shore.

Absorbing all the information from the voice, Zen lifted his right hand close to the chest, palm facing up.

As the internal momenta of different Godly Ways in his inner world continuously merged, the synthesized energy surfaced in Zen's hand.

"Isn't it sufficient to blend five hundred Godly Ways?" Zen consulted.

The energy in his hand emanated from the cohesion of five hundred Godly Ways. Since the voice said five hundred was enough, Zen didn't even bother to blend one more.

The truth was witnesses found it difficult to calculate how many Godly Ways Zen had blended. But as they followed the unstable energy in his hand flickering like a candle even when there was no discernible breeze, they beca

asserted.

Zen studied the yellow paper with deep interest. But then again, even Eastern Emperor Taiyi himself strived to get to the bottom of this and failed. Could Geoffrey do it?

Ten million divine crystals!

If Geoffrey attempted to solve it but failed, then these ten million divine crystals would be in vain. Besides, the information inscribed on the yellow paper could be worthless as well.

Although Zen kept plenty of wealth and ten million divine crystals seemed insignificant to him, he was confronted with a complicated task ahead. He needed to assess every circumstance before he could start allotting divine crystals at will.

Just then, a figure formed at the door of the strange place and yelled from a distance, "Zen, are you here?"

Overhearing Dorothy's familiar voice, Zen spun around and noticed her.

"Why did you come to the third floor of the Truth Library? The high-priced supreme swordsmanship manuals here should be treated with caution. If you need one of them, I can ask Aunt Felicity to furnish you with a copy. Which one do you like?" Dorothy pointed out.

Monica felt her heart flutter with shock. She wondered how this young woman's aunt could provide a copy of any of the supreme swordsmanship manuals here. Who was this young girl? Monica hoped to learn her identity.

The guardian of the Truth Library got furious when he heard that. Sensing that his business was about to be disrupted, he exploded, "Who dared to trespass into the Truth Library?"

Dorothy walked cautiously along the patterns on the wooden floor. As she approached Zen, a funny grin stretching from ear to ear covered her face. Her childlike and energetic face remained naturally beautiful. She said to the void, "Come on, Uncle Wilfred, you forgot me already? It's me, Dora."
