Apotheosis

When they arrived at the tavern, someone was already waiting for them.

The person appeared ordinary in his grey clothes. He appeared to be trying not to stand out by repressing his energy.

"Mr. Luo! I've heard so much about you!" the person greeted Zen in a surprisingly polite manner with cupped hands.

When the other martial artists in the tavern saw this, they felt very strange.

The terms war lord and war fighter sounded alike but they were different in status and realm. Zen was only a war fighter but why was he receiving a respectful greeting from a war lord?

Zen returned the gesture by bowing and asked, "You must be Elder Jing, right?"

"Please sit down first, and we'll talk." Elder Jing waved his hand and motioned for them to take a seat.

Zen abided. After they all settled down, Elder Jing asked, "Mr. Luo, it's safe to assume that you didn't come from the Purple Heart Sacred Place, right?" Elder Jing asked directly. They had already investigated Zen's identity and some things about him before meeting him. There were many talented martial artists in the Purple Heart Sacred Place, but with Zen's remarkable talent, he couldn't have remained in obscurity if he was from the sacred place.

"Yes, that's right. I'm not from the Purple Heart Sacred Place," Zen replied honestly.

"I see. Do you mind telling me where you came from?" Elder Jing asked.

In the Sea God Continent, other than the Purple Heart Sacred Place, there were also some sects scattered around. However, most of those sects were attached to the sacred places, otherwise, they wouldn't survive the attacks from other races.

"I don't wish to answer that." Zen sm

r. Luo has no intention to join us, that doesn't matter. And I'm pleased to hear that you are willing to do something for us. Although our human race only has four seats in the Tower of Sin, we are still considered one of the fourteen great races. If you need our help, please do not hesitate to ask."

"Seat? What is it?" Zen asked.

"The seat represents the right to enter the top of the tower. Only by obtaining a seat in the Tower of Sin would one have the right to enter the top of the tower," Elder Jing replied. "But there is another responsibility for the ones who own the seats now, and that is to establish the rules and punishment of the Tower of Sin! On the fifteenth floor of the Tower of Sin, there are a total of 128 seats. Every so often, the seats will be rotated according to the strength of the cultivators. But unfortunately, we humans have only a few seats. We only take 4 seats out of the 128 seats."

"The right to enter the top of the tower?" Zen's eyes glittered with excitement. This was exactly the goal that had driven him to travel thousands of miles and come to this Sea God Continent.
