Apotheosis

"That's fine. I have to say that you overplayed your part." The old man waved his hands and laughed. He knew that the boy did not really care about who he was. But this was not something he needed to care about. He continued, "Although Cloud Sect is large, if you are extraordinary, I am sure that we will meet again, sooner or later."

Knowing that he had not annoyed the old man, Zen smiled at him, then turned and left.

The old man watched as Zen left. Then he sighed and whispered, "I did not expect that after so many years, this book will finally be claimed. I don't think anyone will believe that this was not heaven's will."

Since Zen had left the hall, he did not hear the old man's words. Even if he had heard what the old man had said, he would not understand the meaning.

When Zen entered the hall for the tier 3 cultivation method, he saw that all other people had left. Even the hall for the tier 2 cultivation method was empty.

It was not advisable to linger in the Heavenly Library, as over time, it became harder to bear the pressure of intent of the Vengeful Beast. It was natural that the others would leave soon after selecting the appropriate cultivation method.

Zen was the last to leave the Heavenly Library.

When he stepped out, the disciples of the other thirty-two peaks had already left.

Only the disciples of Drizzle Peak were waiting for him.

"I am so sorry to have kept you waiting." Zen bowed with hands folded as he apologized.

"That's fine. We are brothers of Drizzle Peak, and we should be concerned about each other, now and in the future! Well, welcome to Drizzle Peak." said an outer disciple as he patted Zen on the shoulder.

This group of outer disciples who had picked Drizzle Peak was from low clans. None of these disciples were from noble clans. So they were congenial with each other.

Master Aura Su had been standing in the distance and studying something. When she saw Zen, she smiled and asked, "Did you enter the tier 4 cultivation method hall?"

Only the few peopl

o in the Burning Sky Empire, and even the entire Eastern Region. Whoever had the most power was the boss. This was a universal principle.

If he was strong, why would he come to Cloud Sect? If he was strong, he could rescue Yan from Hell Mountain with just a word. Unfortunately, he was weak.

Sorrow filled his eyes at the thought of his sister, Yan. She was the one person about whom he was most concerned. He erased the sadness from his eyes and said, "Sean, I want to ask you something."

Sean maintained his warm smile, nodded and said, "Sure, what can I help you with?"

"Where is Hell Mountain in Cloud Sect?" Zen asked cautiously.

Sean's eyebrows rose at the question. When he replied, his pitch was higher. "Hell Mountain? Why you ask about that place?"

"Oh, no special reason. I am just curious," Zen replied.

"Hell Mountain is an independent mountain in the northwest corner of Cloud Sect. Anyone who has made a serious mistake or has broken the rules will be locked there. I certainly haven't been there. But I have heard that the environment in Hell Mountain is awful. Thousands of disciples have been locked there!" When Sean finished, he looked at Zen's face and asked again, "Do you have a friend who is locked in Hell Mountain?"

Zen did not answer this question. Instead, he asked, "Is there a way to enter Hell Mountain?"
