Apotheosis

While the Five-element Emissaries from Bearing race remained anxious, Zen had already entered the central hall of the temple through the entrance.

On one side of the central hall, there was a wall on which a big bear statue was engraved as decoration. The carvings and delicate details on the statue were exquisitely sophisticated.

After Zen looked around in all directions, he approached the wall and placed his hand on it.

He had intended to destroy it to have a look at what was on the other side. Just as he began to break it down, a man showed up behind him and shouted, "You cannot destroy that wall!"

The man that suddenly appeared was an Indigo Soul. Zen immediately concluded him to be a member of the Bearing race.

"You think you can stop me?" Zen turned his face towards him and sneered meaningfully.

"Yes, I do!"

After saying this, the man abruptly made a move and pounced on Zen.

Immediately, Zen spurned this mere Indigo Soul and disposed of him like a bothersome gnat. As Zen waved his hand, the man was effortlessly thrown back for a few feet before he crashed into a wall.

He went easy on him this time. If he had added more strength in his blow, the man's Soul of Light would have been shattered.

With no more hindrances in his way, Zen approached the wall a second time. Wasting no time, he pressed hard on the wall with his right hand and applied a little pressure. 'Now then, let's see what we could find.'

"Crack!"

Not long after, the wall couldn't bear any more pressure, and it collapsed inwards.

He watched intently as the wall cracked up and revealed hidden compartments within it.

These secret compartments were in thirteen rows. And in each of them, there lay a piece of Other Shore Token!

Among the many Other Shore Tokens that now lay bare to him, three distinct ones in the thirteenth row caught his attention. A golden sculpture carved in the shape of a bull, a rhombus-shaped green gem, and a pair of curved feet of a monster.

He ran his eyes across them as if to scan these tokens and counted them in his heart. There were more than a hundred Other Shore Tokens in total from Stage One to Stage Thirteen of the Other Shore.

"You can't touch those Other Shore Tokens! They belong to our Bearing race!" Two more people appeared on the scene and shouted while pointing at the Other Shore Tokens.

Similar to the Oneness Sky Palace, the Bearing race also collected various Other Shore Tokens and kept them inside the wall for the members of their own race to use. However, they had never imagined someone like Zen would infiltrate their temple and attempt to steal them before they moved them away.

"Not anymore, they belong to me now," Zen chuckled in amus

ed for him to wake up and bring the news of Zen's response.

"I doubt that guy would listen to Athemar..."

"Now that his physical body has entered the Other Shore, he must be unstoppable. Alas, I hope he can show some mercy!"

"I didn't expect the Bearing race would make such a huge concession!"

Several masters hung their heads with a hint of worry on their faces.

Just then, another news came from the Bearing race, offering a compromise. They had proposed to order the Sun Crow race to withdraw from the Mountain Viewing Province.

The dispute between the Sun Crow race and the Oneness Sky Palace in the Mountain Viewing Province had lasted for many years. It was always a headache to the Oneness Sky Palace.

Back then, when the Sun Crow race had a conflict with the humans of the Oneness Sky Palace, the Bearing race played a huge part in adding fuel to the fire. If they could end their war with the Sun Crow race by stopping Zen from destroying the temple, it could be beneficial for both parties.

But they didn't think that mysterious guy would obey Athemar's instructions.

Among all the masters present, only Athemar, Madam Yasamin, Winchell, and Goran knew Zen was that guy. When Athemar asked someone to take a message to Zen, Yasamin glanced at him with meaningful eyes.

After a while, the disciple opened his eyes and awakened, he returned the hopeful gazes of the masters and said, "That guy has agreed to not destroy their temple, but he still wants to go inside."

"Why does he want to go to the temple?" the master of Ivory Mountain spoke up in curiosity.

"The Bearing race has accumulated countless treasures over the years. He wants to gather the things he wants from them." "I really have no idea where this greedy guy came from!" laughed the master of the Golden Mountain.
