Apotheosis

As the Land of Sword Grief's top warrior, Libby had also chosen a senior disciple to challenge when she first arrived. Her ranking had gone up to the 300th right after that battle.

It used to be an unprecedented record.

But today, this fact changed.

Never did anyone imagine that Zen could easily break that record.

Some disciples even believed that if it weren't for the rules of the Land of Sword Grief, Zen could easily challenge a second-floor disciple right away and ascend to the second floor on his first day.

After Zen left the arena, he quietly retreated to the side.

All the newcomers had to challenge at least one opponent after reaching the Land of Sword Grief to gain new rankings.

Many newcomers challenged each other as the rankings on the stone constantly shifted.

Among these newcomers were some warriors who could fight against the low-ranking senior disciples.

Dorothy, Elvinia, Milo, and Chaim were among such competent warriors.

But to be cautious, they chose not to challenge any senior disciples just yet.

Over a hundred people chose their own opponents and quickly carried out the one-on-one battles.

The number of names on the Ranking Stone continued to grow.

As expected, Chaim, Elvinia, and Dorothy ranked between the 1, 117th and 1, 125th.

But these rankings were merely temporary.

If one had extraordinary talent like Milo and Chaim, they could easily make rapid progress. Surpassing the Lust World, arriving at the Desire World and carrying the new Other Shore Tokens, most especially, promoted a quick rise in the rankings.

About six hours later, all the new disciples' rankings had been decided.

And so the Land of Sword Grief assigned everyone to their respective training rooms based on the rankings.

Once they entered the Land of Sword Grief, the warriors received their monthly salaries from the Oneness Sky Palace.

They were no longer "disciples", but "officials" of the Oneness Sky Palace. So long as they made steady progress, they could become influential top warriors.

As officials, they received proper compensation.

Salaries were decid

he'd have preferred to stay in his courtyard house of the Flow Sword Sect.

But it wasn't appropriate for him to leave so soon, as he had just arrived there, after all.

After night fell, Zen pulled out the Regal Jade chessboard and let the Regal Jade statues descend for his training.

The battle with Cleon did not turn out as easy as he thought it would.

While the strength of his Chaotic Source Spirits already seemed overbearing, he was still at the primary stage of the Chaotic Source Realm. The gap between him and Cleon was undeniable.

But Zen could still use his Truth of Godly Way to ease the fatigue of the Chaotic Source Spirits.

The endless Truth of Godly Way and the Chaotic Source Spirits formed a unique closed loop, extending the lasting time of the Chaotic Source Spirits to a great extent and easing their fatigue. The two complemented each other, doubling the power that could be produced.

The next morning, two stewards of the Land of Sword Grief knocked on the newcomers' training rooms and told them to enter the Other Shore.

After reaching the Chaotic Source Realm, one should be well-prepared to break through to the Desire World.

As the stewards informed the disciples, they realized that there was one missing.

When they felt confused, they discovered that this disciple was actually in the first room at the far right of the first floor, which surprised them so much.
