Apotheosis

When Zen emerged from the Dragon Path, a gate appeared before him.

Zen stopped in his tracks, stunned at the sight of the gate.

The gate was formed from two pieces of weathered dead wood standing upright a few feet away from each other, with a cracked board above them.

Lack of maintenance over the years had caused all the inscriptions on the board to disappear. The board just hung there, nothing on it.

Who would have thought that the famous Oneness Sky Palace had a gate that was in such a dilapidated condition?

Zen passed through the gate and continued walking. The road forked in three paths ahead of him.

These three paths were paved with stone bricks, each with a different variety.

The path on the left was paved with thick, wide, cyan stone bricks engraved with landscape paintings. It looked grand and majestic.

The path on the right was paved with black stone bricks. He had no idea what the stone bricks were made of, but they looked solid and gave off the aura of history and eternity.

The path in the middle was paved with small red stones. They were light and dynamic, giving off a sharp aura.

Looking at the paths in front of him, Zen hesitated.

Hadn't they said that someone would be here to receive him when he came up here? Why hadn't he seen anyone?

Zen looked at the three paths again as he thought. The answer came to him soon enough.

The test wasn't over.

He had to make a choice, and there was no hint.

Zen made a decision after a while. He chose the path with the red bricks.

He took a step in that path and then began to climb up the stairs, accelerating as he climbed.

He walked along the road for more than twenty miles, and then came to a ridge. He passed it, and came across a board.

The board was inscribed with the words, "Flow Sword Sect".

Zen's eyebrows went up when he saw the board.

He had made the right choice by following his heart.

After his fight with Fergus, Zen had also become interested in the Flow Sword Sect.

There were a few similarities between the Flow Strike and the Emotion Closing Godly Way that he had cultivated. This was a path that was suitable for him.

He stood under the board for a while. He then saw two women in white saunter over to him from the other side of the board.

One of them f

rd on the table was ranked decently high. It was an intermediate Profound Blood Treasure. There were a million divine crystals in one of the space rings, but the two women seemed to be indifferent to it all, not even bothering to explain everything to him.

They had only explained the entry tokens, making it look like they were very important.

"The Flow Sword Sect is so generous. Do all the disciples who join the sect receive such treatment?" Zen asked.

The woman smiled. "Those who can successfully go up the mountain are considered members of our Oneness Sky Palace. This treatment is only a small gift."

Zen sighed as he looked out upon the exquisite courtyard.

There was a stark difference in how he was treated here and how he was treated at the foot of the mountain.

In the Dragon City, both the Flag Masters and the Alliance Chiefs didn't even have a cave, let alone a building like this. Each of them only had a flag and everyone just lived and cultivated in the open air. The living conditions were poor.

"Mr. Luo, you must be tired, having climbed all the way here. I'll help you take a bath and change your clothes," the woman said and walked to the side of the building.

The other woman went to gather up the clothes, shoes, and hats from the table.

Zen was stunned. He looked at the two women curiously and asked, "You don't need to do these things, do you?"

The woman said, "You have now entered the house, and you are the master of this place. We are your maids. So of course we will serve you."
