Apotheosis

The Myriad Spirits City was an ancient city rich in history which included several hundreds of chaotic eras.

Whereas the City Guard House's opulence wouldn't be anything worth mentioning in the Source World, it was considered to be quite a rare sight on the Other Shore. Neither the Stage Four temples nor the Stage Thirteen strongholds could hold a candle to it.

The Guide Weasel race was known for its intelligence. Once they confirmed that the former city lord was killed, they wasted no time in allying with the Giants to eradicate the Dark Bear race once and for all.

However, they didn't dare to steal any of the resources that were kept at the City Guard House upon successfully occupying it.

They focused on their main goal — controlling the Myriad Spirits City. They knew that Zen and the Oneness Sky Palace he was representing wouldn't remain in Stage Fourteen. Therefore, there was no need for offending them.

That was why the Guide Weasel race was willing to surrender the City Guard House to Zen with utmost sincerity.

"This dress...it won't fit me."

"Nor will this one..."

"And this one..."

Elvinia complained as she picked and chose from a pile of clothing. Ever since her trip to the Dark Region, she had always robed herself with light-formed attire that couldn't exactly be considered material. She wasn't like Zen whose vague shape could be barely recognized even if he was naked.

Although she'd already become more skilled in controlling the Great Sanskrit Light and the garb she created for herself was enough to cover her decently, she always wanted to find a better solution.

There were also some women of the Fragrant Butterfly race living in the City Guard House, and they had many clothes.

The only problem was that they were too unsuitable and revealing for her taste. After taking her time going through her options, she finally gave up.

"Don't worry, Princess Elvinia! We'll ask the servants to tailor dresses for you immediately. It'll only take half a day!" a member of the Guide Weasel race offered before he hurriedly left to give orders.

As she threw the revealing clothes onto the floor, Elvinia walked out of the room and headed towards the backyard.

There, a myriad of weapons was lined up in an orderly fashion on the ground.

As Zen scanned through them, disappointment clouded his eyes. "Theoretically," he began to speak, "some of the races

f you have the guts, that is."

Zen reached the top of the Ranking Stone on the first floor in only one day. None of these people would have the ability to challenge him. As for Elvinia, who would dare to confront her, considering her high status?

"I just want to know how those two are doing," Abdul sighed.

Previously, he had been angry with the two of them, but Zen and Elvinia were still members of the Oneness Sky Palace. Though they had physical bodies on the Other Shore, Abdul couldn't help but wonder if they were strong enough to face the creatures of the Other Shore.

Many of the new disciples stood aside and said nothing.

Soon, the deep and heavy feeling in the room became too much to bear. Chaim finally gave in and exclaimed, "Stop worrying! Have some faith in Zen and Princess Elvinia, will you?"

"That's right. Princess Elvinia can also be considered an Other Shore creature, right? I'm sure defeating them will be no problem for her," Milo added in agreement with Chaim.

Abdul sneered and said, "Before the Truth of Powerful Holy Body was banned, taking on the physical form while roaming the Other Shore was considered common. However, hardly anyone could defeat those Other Shore creatures as soon as they reached Stage Fourteen!"

It was no easy feat to improve one's physical form on the Other Shore. Therefore, it was never a wise decision for any new-comer in Stage Fourteen to become an enemy of the Other Shore creatures. It wasn't difficult to kill an ordinary Tail Insect, but the consequences would be unimaginably terrible once the Ghost Scorpion was involved.
