Apotheosis

Ten years ago, Geoffrey had made a name for himself in Zen's inner world. However, without warning, he then disappeared for three years.

For the years that he went missing, people living on the continent all thought that he had already passed away. But the truth was that during the times that he was away, he had returned to the floating island to cultivate.

Three years had passed and when Geoffrey returned, his cultivation base had dramatically increased along with his strength that had become more formidable.

When he showed up again, everyone was shocked to see his progress. Most of the people started to guess who and what force were behind Geoffrey's improvement. To them, it was a mystery as to what kind of clan was able to cultivate such an amazing warrior.

Now, the people didn't need to gossip around anymore. Geoffrey shocked the people when he called the man in front of him "Dad". Did it mean that this man at the Life and Death Realm was the one responsible for his growth and training.

Meanwhile, as he was about to challenge the Heavenly Annihilation Demons, Zen, his father, came out to stop him. Feeling dejected, Geoffrey could not help but frown at his father's actions. This time, Zen had suppressed his own cultivation base to the Life and Death Realm.

He had to do it because if he revealed his true identity, then the people of the Heavenly Annihilation Sect would surely fear him and kneel down before him immediately.

"Heavenly Annihilation Demons! Wait and see! Be ready to fight when I come back!"

After Geoffrey's voice trailed off, he and Zen traveled to a desolate place using the Grand Teleportation technique.

"What is so important? It had better be more important than the demo

the key.

Meanwhile, the Other Shore Key that the Ear Mouse gave him had the same reaction as soon as he poured the energy of the divine crystal into it.

In an instant, two maps appeared along with two Sanskrit words that seemed like they were written in gold.

Geoffrey could not contain his excitement upon seeing the golden words in person. However, right after he read both of the words, his excitement turned into confusion.

"As far as I know, the Sanskrit word on this copper sheet can be translated into the words 'Stage One' and some other strange sentences that I don't seem to understand..." Geoffrey said as he pointed at the copper sheet that the Ear Mouse gave to him.

"On the other hand, this copper sheet reads 'Stage Nineteen' and another long unintelligible sentence... Why can't I understand the whole of what's written in these copper plates?" Geoffrey stated further.

"What do you mean?" Zen furrowed his brows as he wanted to learn more.

In a daze, Geoffrey shook his head and said, "I don't know. I've never seen such strange Sanskrit words. This could only mean that they are gibberish and don't contain any meanings."
