Apotheosis

Dorothy was slightly upset.

People who held a high status such as Dorothy never took the Sacred Mallow Temple seriously from the start. This was why Stage One and Stage Two of the Other Shore meant nothing to her.

The Other Shore Tokens that were usually discovered in these two stages were inferior. Here at the Other Shore's beginning stage, most people would just randomly choose Other Shore Tokens and immediately challenge the higher stages.

However, there were always exceptions. Some of these included the Heavenly Spider and the Heavenly Cobweb which were rarely found in Stage One or Stage Two, but could be found in Stage Three.

The situation they were currently in was quite bizarre. They were surprised to discover two glazed eyeballs within the dilapidated temple. Even Dorothy failed to confirm which Stage of the Other Shore that pair belonged to.

She was saddened upon knowing that she couldn't fuse with any of the glazed eyeballs.

"You know, you can still take the demonic eye even if you can't fuse with it," Zen assured her.

Dorothy shook her head and replied, "Giving it to me would be useless. You could sell it in exchange for soul pills. I'll fuse with the Heavenly Cobweb instead."

The Heavenly Cobweb was a perfect fit for the Truth of Eternal Sword Intent.

Dorothy practiced the Origin Swordsmanship. This was divided into three key areas and one of those displayed how to master the art of stalling opponents. Fusing with the Heavenly Cobweb would enhance this key area of her practice—making it the perfect match.

"I disagree," Zen interjected. "We explored the Sacred Mallow Temple together so it's only fair that we split what we've discovered equally. Even if you can't fuse with it, I insist you take it."

But Dorothy wouldn't budge. Instead, she smiled and replied, "It's a pity that you've only practiced the Truth of Eternal Sword Intent other than the Truth of Cultivation Nature. If you'd cultivated another Truth of Godly Way, you could've fused with both the eyes."

"A person can own two Other Shore Tokens at the same time?" Zen asked curiously.

"Not just two. Some of the Oneness Sky Palace's warriors can even possess three or four Other Shore Tokens. One more Truth of Godly Way, one more Other Shore Token," Dorothy explained.

Most of the Source World's top-level masters would often cultivate the Truths of Godly Ways according to their own needs, and they often possessed more than one Other Shore Toke

Sea of Truth, she couldn't help but sigh and wonder why she had been dealt with such an unfair fate.

"Yes. I reached the Other Shore last night," Zen replied.

"Our Flag Master has reached the Other Shore!"

"Our Flag Master has finally become an Other Shore Realm warrior!"

Faegan, Beldene, and the others also noticed the progress Zen had achieved.

Although Other Shore Realm warriors weren't rare, seeing Zen become one made them all excited and proud. In their eyes, he was truly special.

"Not only did you make it to the Other Shore, but your Soul of Light seems to have undergone great changes as well," Monica pointed out to Zen as she stared at him.

His soul force had steadily grown over the past few months at a normal rate. Anyone who stayed on the Sea of Truth every day would have been able to grow their Souls of Light unwaveringly.

Zen's Soul of Light, however, grew at an astonishing rate this time that made even Monica question her own power and think that he had surpassed her.

'He has just entered the Other Shore. How did he make it?' she thought to herself.

"Good luck was on my side," Zen replied in an indifferent tone as if talking about the weather. "I found something useful in Stage One."

"Something useful?" Monica let his words hang on her tongue. What useful thing had provided Zen the chance to grow his Soul of Light at such a rate? That could only mean one thing—he had discovered the soul crystal.

But why would such a precious crystal appear in Stage One of the Other Shore? And even if it did appear, the soul crystal wouldn't have had much energy. Monica continued to ponder over this.
