Apotheosis

Back then, Zen had first met Elvinia at the Seven Mountains Meeting. Some time later, Zen returned home after obtaining the Shade Stone, only to find out that Lavender, Laquisha, and Nelly had been "invited" by Elvinia to the Phoenix Palace.

Furious, he had stormed the Phoenix Palace to face Elvinia right then and there.

To his surprise, the three women were actually quite content there, so Zen didn't force them to come back. However, now, Elvinia had invited Letitia and Margaret. What was she up to?

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Zen frowned deeply.

Elvinia smiled apologetically. "I thought they were bored in the Flow Sword Sect, so I invited them to the Phoenix Palace. Besides, you were busy practicing in seclusion the other day, so I didn't get the chance to tell you."

The Phoenix Palace was not a dangerous place after all, and to a certain extent, it was actually safer than the Flow Sword Sect. Still, it was a bit suspicious that Elvinia was being courteous to Letitia and Margaret.

Zen shook his head. He couldn't figure it out.

He just said, "Forget it. Let's just refine the Body-strengthening Jade."

"Okay." Elvinia nodded meekly.

Zen thought he saw a hint of amusement in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She then concentrated on crushing the Body-strengthening Jade for her body to absorb it.

Just like Zen, refining the Body-strengthening Jade was easy for Elvinia.

It was more efficient to strengthen the corporeal body than to enhance the Soul of Light.

For Zen, strengthening his corporeal body meant he could use it outside the Other Shore. Elvinia, on the other hand, couldn't bring her corporeal body outside the Other Shore, so it seemed a bit wasteful to strengthen it.

However, after occupying the Myriad Spirits City, Zen had obtained a lot of resources. Even after he distributed some to the disciples of the Land of Sword Grief, there was still a lot of leftover.

Just as Zen was about to continue refining the Body-strengthening Jade, a bright yellow shadow darted into his line of sight. When his eyes adjusted to the figure approaching him, he realized it was the leader of the Guide Weasel race, Clyde.

"Sir, something is happening in the Sky Water City," Clyde reported anxiously.

Zen and Elvinia exchange

a strong body as a purified being, it was still risky for her to face the Star Falcon race.

"Fine." Elvinia frowned slightly. She didn't like to feel useless in times of trouble.

"Thirty thousand feet!" Clyde announced.

"Twenty thousand feet!"

"Ten thousand feet!"

Clyde narrowed his beady eyes at the flying figures closing in on them.

"Eight thousand feet! Shoot!"

he commanded the archers.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Like green rain, arrows whizzed through the air towards the Star Falcons.

From the receiving end of the arrows, the largest Star Falcon at the forefront squinted at the city wall.

It was the leader of the Star Falcon race, Hans.

Thanks to their exceptional vision, the Star Falcons could see the figures on the wall of the Myriad Spirits City clearly.

Finally, Hans' eyes landed on what he was looking for. "Strange," Hans murmured. "The two targets are in plain sight."

He didn't care about the failures of the Ghost Scorpion and the Dark Bear race.

The Star Falcon race was above all the races in the Light Region of Stage Fourteen; they were the rulers there.

The second Hans received the request from the Sun Crow race, he had agreed with no hesitation. It seemed to be a good opportunity to invade the Myriad Spirits City.

Unbothered by the volley of arrows coming straight for him, Hans simply flapped his wide wings.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A strong wind blew from Hans' incredible wings, sending the arrows backwards till they plummeted to the ground.
