Chapter 3037 An Unpleasant Meeting

Several days had passed.

Upon their release from the small world, the disciples of the cultivation palaces found themselves in a vast, empty square. However, Winchell and Goran did not appear.

A beautiful, majestic mountain gate stood at the end of the square. The colossal gate had a huge plaque in its center, engraved with ornate lettering: "Origin Mountain". The design evoked sword intent.

Everyone gazed at the gate for a moment, and then looked up. There was something blocking the view of the sky above the gate. It looked like a large, dark brown curtain.

"What kind of place is this Origin Mountain?"

"It isn't the Oneness Sky Palace, is it?'

"What the hell is that curtain? It's blocking the stars!"

Everyone in the group was confused by the curtain, including Beldene, Kenelm, and even Zen. They had no idea what it was.

"That's not a curtain... That's the Origin Mountain itself! It is so high, so massive, that when one stands at the foot of the mountain, it seems like a curtain covering the sky," said someone behind them. The speaker had a pleasant, calm voice.

Everyone turned around when they heard these words. A feeling of excitement came over them as they saw who was approaching them.

Three beautiful women walked slowly and gracefully towards them. They were accompanied by a young man who looked to be young, and a few guards.

The Sword Light Palace had occupied the Seven-Star Province for many years. Although it was a relatively small force, the palace was known to hold many lovely women. Surely, however, they could not all be winsome and charming as the women who now came towards them.

The girl in the lead had fair skin and flowing hair, and wore a gauze dress in sky blue. She had a faint smile on her pretty face. She seemed to be very young.

Despite her air of elegance and gentleness, there was a faint aura of sword intent around her. It was clear that she cultivated the Truth of Eternal Sword Intent.

The two other women looked just as lovely, and slightly older. Their cultivation base could not be seen through at all. It was obvious that they were Other Shore Realm warriors, known for their power. The disciples did not dare to look directly at these two women, and kept their eyes focused on the youngest girl.

"Which of you is Zen?" asked one of the women directly.

The girl's faint smile lingered. "Aunt Daisy, don't be in such a hurry. See, I think I can guess, let me try..." she said softly.

She moved closer to the disciples as she spoke, her gaze sweeping across every person in the group. In an instant, she had fixed her lovely eyes on Zen, and she

gs she said are right. It is much better for you to stay here in the Origin Mountain," Dorothy said.

"Are you saying that I won't be able to pass through the Sea of Truth if I don't rely on the Origin Mountain?" Zen asked, staring at Dorothy.

"Zen does not need the Origin Mountain. He can cross the Sea of Truth without it. He is a superior talent, and he is capable of Instant Enlightenment. On his first try, he succeeded in cultivating the Truth of Eternal Sword Intent! And even Master Athemar has invited him to enter the Oneness Sky Palace."

"Yes, all that is true! We see that the Origin Mountain seems extraordinary, but is it more powerful than the Oneness Sky Palace?"

In response to Dorothy, a couple of the disciples had spoken up, eager to defend Zen and talk of his prowess.

Dorothy listened, looking stunned. "Instant enlightenment... Zen, is this true? You achieved that?"

She realized that Zen had used the Truth of Cultivation Nature to enter the Sea of Truth before. And this time, he had instantly grasped the Truth of Eternal Sword Intent. It occurred to her that if all this was accurate, then he was far more powerful than she had thought.

The Origin Mountain had no hold on him if he was capable of all these things. Indeed, even the very leaders of the Origin Mountain would be quick to welcome such a talented and outstanding man into their group. Given his stature, Dorothy no longer knew how to persuade him to stay.

Zen gazed at her with a faint smile. "It's better for us to meet in the Sea of Truth."

With that, he leaped lightly into the air, and soared down the mountain. The disciples followed his lead. In a moment, they had vanished from sight, leaving Dorothy standing alone at the edge of the cliff.
