Apotheosis

Every disciple of the Flow Sword Sect present held their breath as their pupils dilated at this sight.

It was as if the cat got their tongues. None of them uttered a word, not even the servant girls. Instead, they all stared at the golden speck of light.

Just how talented was he to reach the sixth floor on his first attempt?

Trish and Carrie were rendered speechless.

Excited, they had tears in their eyes. It made them look so radiant.

Milo was watching intently as his face shifted. The expression of the girl standing next to him also switched.

"He's so obsessed with cultivation, yet he can still make it to the sixth floor. If I'm not wrong, then just like you, this man began with the Emotion Closing Godly Way," Kate whispered to Milo as she kept her gaze fixated on the Flow Tower.

"I don't think so. I've heard that if one can control themselves with the Soul Controlling Godly Way, they could also resist the Flame of Soul," Milo said curtly.

The Soul Controlling Godly Way was known as the Great Dominance Technique in the divine land.

To explain further, the users of the theurgy beyond the Soul Controlling Godly Way could create another consciousness. And thus, they were able to control themselves in mysterious ways.

"Although he seems promising, I'm afraid it's tough for him to break the record set by you," Kate said as the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

The spectacle of the man in the tower was stupefying. However, Milo still had the upper hand since he had jumped to the eighth floor when he first entered the tower.

Both Milo and Kate were convinced that Zen was not up to par with Milo, at least not yet.

However, as soon as Kate's voice fell, Zen had rushed to the seventh floor!

The sixth and seventh floors posed as the most intricate barriers for the disciples. They would end up getting trapped in there in most cases. Therefore, the Flow Sword Sect kept the ones who reached the seventh floor in high regard compared to others.

Just when they began doubting whether Zen would advance any further, he had already reached the seventh floor.

Meanwhile, in the Flow Tower, the Flame of Soul had turned into a shrieking blood-red color.

The higher he moved, the more the Flame of Soul intensified.

Even if he used the Emotion Closing Godly Way, it would still prove insufficient in trying to completely get rid of the negative emotions tha

feeling from his mind. The magic was so strong that he felt pain from all those scenarios in his heart.

"Holy shit! Chop!"

Zen knew that if he persisted for a little longer, he would sink into these wild illusions forever.

With every fiber of his leftover spiritual power, he clenched his teeth and rushed to the tenth floor, knocking down the door of the Flow Tower.

Bang!

The door to the tenth floor was smashed open, and a man drenched in his own sweat collapsed right in front of it.

Zen was drained from all his energy, and his skin was soaked as if he just came out of the water.

However, the moment he left the Flow Tower, the Flame of Soul diminished into thin air. Everything went back to normal as he fell to his knees, exhausted. His eyes that once reflected fear and regret were now clear of all emotions.

As if alerted by the door being opened, Milo and Kate desperately glanced in the direction of the man to make out his identity.

When their eyes fell on the figure of interest, they were shocked to their very cores.

"Milo, that's him!"

Kate covered her mouth subconsciously as she gasped at the sight of Zen.

Of all people, she should have been aware of his whereabouts. After all, she spent a lot of her time investigating Zen's background.

It was not normal for a cultivator in the first stage of the Other Shore Realm to defeat Fergus. However, Zen had disappeared for some time inexplicably after Milo had shamed him by cutting off his sword.

Who would have thought that Zen would climb up the mountain in such a short period and join the Flow Sword Sect?
