Apotheosis

The journey on the Sea of Truth became more difficult with each line crossed.

Travelling on the Sea of Truth was a process that would cultivate one's Soul of Light, which meant that the longer one stayed on the Sea of Truth, the stronger their Soul of Light would be.

This process revealed the advantages of being a member of Dragon City.

The silver swords entered Zen's flagpole and were continuously infiltrating the souls of the crowd. The effects were similar to a slew of soul pills swallowed intermittently, only to a much weaker extent.

Zen had stayed between the fifth and sixth lines for more than ten days, and his Soul of Light had grown stronger. He and Dorothy decided to try and cross the sixth line.

It was a heart-stopping and spine-tingling process, but they finally made it.

After they crossed the sixth line, Zen discovered that the Sea of Truth held an abundance of whirlpools.

Three to five whirlpools spun and twisted around them every once in a while.

No one knew how many people had been trapped in these whirlpools, and these people were unable to escape in their lives.

When Zen and Dorothy passed by, they heard people call for help.

Unfortunately for them, Zen was not everybody's savior. He would help Winchell save his son, but he didn't intend to take the fourth candle away. If he angered the creatures who put the candles in the sea, he would be in great trouble.

Zen crossed the sixth line with his Soul of Light first, and then he used his physical body to cross the sixth line as well.

The blazing red seawater had a specific effect on body refining, but it didn't have much effect on him. He continued to swim, even as the water around him began to boil like magma.

It was during this process that Zen clearly felt the presence of the Truth of Godly Way in his body, and at the back of his mind, he wondered if he could use the Truth of Godly Way in any theurgy.

In the Source World, only Zen could swim in the Sea of Truth. And so, he couldn't find any related theurgy, but perhaps in the future, he could figure some out himself.

When both his soul and body passed the sixth line, Zen decided that he was ready to stop the great whirlpool and rescue Dorothy's cousin.

Dorothy had told Zen earlier that the Lin Clan of the Origin Mountain was looking forward to this. Her cousin, in particular, was as eager for this day as a beaver.

After the Ear Mouse sent fifteen million divine crystals to Zen, the Lin Clan was completely convinced of Zen's ability. Zen had lit up Evaristus' eyes with a new hope.

Zen had asked Beldene and others to sell the Sword-reading Liquid for him for fifteen thousand divine crystals a bottle.

Zen thought that it was quite expensive, but Beldene and the others didn't agree. After a

. He had already defeated seven people from the Heavenly Annihilation Sect in a row.

These seven people were all contemporary peerless masters in this era, but they were all defeated by Geoffrey's single attack.

"Heavenly Annihilation Demons! Get out!" Geoffrey shouted with his halberd pointed at the gate.

Behind his conflict with the Heavenly Annihilation Sect was a gorgeous woman, the holy maiden of the Flower Dancing Sect.

Different from his father, Geoffrey had only one lover, and he was furious at the Heavenly Annihilation Sect because they dared to antagonize the Flower Dancing Sect.

As he spoke, a cold voice suddenly came from the Heavenly Annihilation Sect.

"Humph! Do you think you can just insult everyone in our Heavenly Annihilation Sect? I will teach you to respect, boy!" It was an old man, and his hair flashed red against the sunlight, as he flew towards Geoffrey.

"Good!" Geoffrey sneered at the old man and held his halberd at the ready. Red light blazed from his halberd, and his entire body emitted an extraordinary aura that dazzled those who were gathered around them.

He was getting ready to attack when Zen suddenly flew out from nowhere and came to stand behind him.

Geoffrey paused in surprise, but his face was quickly marred by a frown. He asked, "Dad, why are you here? I don't need your help."

Zen smiled in amusement at his reaction, then eyed the old man in front of them and said, "I'm not here to help you. Actually, there's something that I need your help with."

And Zen was telling the truth. He had come for the two Other Shore Keys, and he wasn't about to fight his son's battles for him.

On the other hand, the red-haired old man, one of the Heavenly Annihilation Demons, was baffled. He could feel that Zen was only at the Life and Death Realm, so how could this person be Geoffrey's father?
