Chapter 4018 The Disguise


    Standing in the Spirit Cosmos, Austin couldn''t help but marvel at his surroundings.


    "Thew of spiritual soul here is so dazzling and pure!" he remarked in awe.


    Unlike in other ces, thew of spiritual soul was spread out everywhere in the Spirit Cosmos like


    colorful ribbons.


    Even the energy here was mainly the spiritual soul energy.


    With these properties, the Spirit Cosmos was no doubt the most suitable ce for the survival and


    cultivation of the spiritual race.


    It was a favorable environment for Austin as well, since he could improve his spiritual sense if he


    cultivated here.


    As he looked around, he found that there were all kinds of creatures and races living in the Spirit


    Cosmos. They were flitting around like birds, making the whole space look very lively and creating a


    false sense of freedom.


    After all, Austin knew that most of the creatures in the Spirit Cosmos were ves of the spiritual race.


    The spiritual race frequently took the souls of other living creatures, leaving only empty shells behind.


    "Be careful. Any of the creatures here could be a member of the spiritual race,"


    Esther said to Austin through spiritual sense. She seemed to be on edge, her eyes constantly darting


    around to sense any potential danger.


    On the other hand, Austin stood there calmly with a smile on his face.


    "Don''t worry. I''m very familiar with the spiritual race," he replied.


    As a matter of fact, he owned a spiritual tree and a spiritual dragon. Moreover, he had practiced the


    secret method of the Puppet Strings, which was a technique that belonged to the spiritual race.


    Naturally, he was very familiar with the spiritual race.


    The Spirit Cosmos was an enormous ce that spanned over several stars ands, so Austin and


    Esther walked for a long time, just observing their surroundings.


    Along the way, they hardly encountered any member of the spiritual race. On the contrary, they saw a


    lot of creatures from other races everywhere.


    "The spiritual race is a very strange race. They prefer to hide in the dark rather than show up in public,"


    Esther exined to Austin.


    "Yes, I understand."


    Austin nodded in acknowledgment.


    He released his spiritual sense to look for the divine gods of the spiritual race, but didn''t manage to


    obtain any useful information.


    Of course, he had already expected this. Divine gods were superior to the rest of their race, so they


    tended to be more secretive and would rarely show up in public.


    "What are you looking for?


    Tell me. Maybe I can help.


    When I was a child, I often came here with my father. My father and the chief of the spiritual race go


    way back.


    All in all, I''m quite familiar with the Spirit Cosmos,"


    Esther said, noticing that Austin seemed to be looking for something.


    "I''m looking for the divine gods of the spiritual race,"


    Austin replied, feeling a hint of appreciation in his mind. Esther was proving to be much more useful


    than he had originally expected her to be.


    "Then you should go to the spiritual capital. That''s where most of the divine gods reside,"


    Esther said.


    "The spiritual capital?" Austin echoed. He had actually heard of such a ce before, but it had been


    too long and he wasn''t quite sure about this anymore.


    "Yes, that''s where the headquarters of the spiritual race is.


    So naturally, that''s where the divine gods stay,"


    Esther exined.


    Austin nodded in understanding. No wonder they hadn''te across many members of the spiritual


    race, let alone a divine god.


    "I see. Then that''s where we will heading," he said. The two of them quickly made their way to the


    spiritual capital.


    Half a dayter, they arrived at a huge city.


    Austin almost felt as if he had gone back in time. The city looked ancient but formidable, shrouded in


    strong spiritual soul energy and disying all kinds of runes that were rted to the civilization of the


    spiritual race.


    Now that he was standing in front of the gate of the capital city, he could finally sense the masters of


    the spiritual race.

    He saw several gray spiritual souls enter and exit the gate with his own eyes.


    These gray spiritual souls had extremely unstable forms, and were constantly twisting around and


    changing in shape.


    These were the real bodies of the members of the spiritual race.


    They exuded a cold, evil, and violent aura.


    A few of them sensed a foreign presence and immediately turned to Austin and Esther.


    "Hey, look, there is a girl from the elf race and a human boy," one of them eximed. The members of


    the spiritual race were more curious about the girl. After all, the elf race was almost on par with them.


    As the headquarters of the spiritual race, the spiritual capital was heavily guarded. Only the members


    of the spiritual race coulde and go as they pleased.


    If creatures from other races wanted to enter the city, they would have to be closely inspected before


    being allowed to go inside.


    However, such visitors weren''tmon. Naturally, the guards at the city gate couldn''t help but regard


    Austin and Esther with suspicion.


    "If we want to enter the spiritual capital, we must make up an identity,"


    Esther said to Austin through spiritual sense.


    Usually, Austin would agree. But in this case, he was a little confused.


    "How about we just reveal your identity as the princess of the elf race?"


    he asked, frowning.


    "I don''t think that''s a good idea. In fact, it''s a dangerous one.


    Amit is very powerful. If he finds out that I''m in the Spirit Cosmos, he''ll definitely send his people here


    to hunt me.


    Besides, the Elf Cosmos and the Spirit Cosmos have always been friends. The Spirit Cosmos will


    definitely cooperate with Amit to capture me.


    So, revealing my identity as the princess of the Elf Cosmos will only get us in trouble,"


    Esther exined patiently.


    "Ah..." Austin hadn''t considered this.


    However, they were running out of time.


    Several of the city guards were already flying towards them, finding them suspicious for lingering


    outside the gates.


    As Austin watched theme closer, he wracked his brain for a good idea for false identities that they


    could use.


    Suddenly, an idea shed through his mind, hitting him like lightning.


    ''I can pretend to be a member of the spiritual race!


    Since I have a spiritual tree and a spiritual dragon, I''ll be able to emte the purest aura of the spiritual


    race.


    I can pretend that I am merely a member of the spiritual race resident in the body of a human being.


    In that case, they won''t suspect me at all!''


    he thought, his mind racing with the possibilities.


    With such little time left, this was the best hope they had, so Austin made up his mind and directed all


    of his focus into awakening the spiritual tree and the spiritual dragon in his Soul Sea.


    Together, they released a strong aura that paralleled that of a member of the spiritual race.


    Sensing the sudden change in his aura, Esther widened her eyes in surprise.


    But as a smart girl, she soon understood what Austin intended to do.


    At this moment, the guards reached them and surrounded them threateningly.


    "What are you two doing here?" one of them barked.


    "Who are you?


    How dare you question me like this? Are you courting death?"


    Austin asked in a cold tone, maintaining a calm exterior. At the same time, his powerful spiritual soul


    energy rushed towards the guard who had just spoken.


    He and the other spiritual race members standing near him were thrown into the air by the powerful


    energy.


    They fell to the ground in the distance, trembling with fear.


    In the past, Austin had subdued a few members of the spiritual race and turned them into his ves, so


    he was well-versed in their behavior and culture.


    Above all, the spiritual race respected thew of the jungle.


    ording to them, the ones who behaved in a domineering and unscrupulous way were the ones who


    were most powerful. So the more aggressive one was, the more revered they would be among the


    members of the spiritual race.


    Cowards would be bullied while the brave would be worshipped.


    "Humph! I''ll spare your life this time. But I won''t be so kind if you dare to offend me again,"


    Austin snarled, ring at them with a murderous look on his face. It seemed as if he would kill them all


    if they made even one small misstep.


    "Oh, you are one of the masters of our spiritual race!"


    Sensing the strong and pure aura of the spiritual race that was emanating from Austin, the guards


    turned pale with fright.


    "Sir, please forgive us! We were wrong.


    We would never dare toy a finger on one of our masters," they cried pathetically.


    Then, they all knelt down and kowtowed to Austin.


    As the ones at the bottom of the hierarchy of the spiritual race, they naturally submitted to the one who


    they thought was a powerful master.


    Even if the man in front of them were to kill them, there would be no justice for them, and they were


    well aware of this fact. So, they chose to plead for their lives instead.


    "Well, it seems you''re at least smart enough to apologize immediately. Fine, I will spare your lives! But


    you''d better not cross me a second time,"


    Austin said fiercely.


    When the guards raised their heads and saw Austin''s eyes, which looked terrifying and filled with


    spiritual soul energy, they all trembled and quickly lowered their heads again, not daring to look him in


    the eyes.


    Seeing this, Austin mentally breathed a sigh of relief.


    It seemed that his n had worked.


    "We can go into the city now!" Esther said excitedly through her spiritual sense.


    However, thismotion had attracted the attention of the actual members of the spiritual race who


    happened to pass through the gate at that time.


    Everyone was secretly observing Austin, who was at the center of the racket.


    One of them, a man draped in golden clothes adorned with beautiful feathers, bravely stepped forward


    and politely greeted Austin, "Hello, sir. You possess formidable strength.


    But there''s something strange about you. I can''t help but be curious. May I know your name?"


    Although this man had stepped forward alone, arge group of people lingered behind him, as if silently


    standing there for support. It was obvious that this man was no ordinary person.


    Austin could tell at a nce that although the man''s body belonged to a human, the soul resident


    inside the body was actually a member of the spiritual race.


    "Who are you?


    Why should I tell you my name?


    Go away. Don''t bother me!"


    he said in the same arrogant tone that he had used on the guards.
