Chapter 219 The Second Step Of Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill
Austin was sitting peacefully in the lotus position inside his grotto for cultivation. There were signs of
extreme concentration on his face.
His fingers were crossed together and were making severalplex incantation gestures. With each of
his motions, numerous streams of golden vital energy gradually gathered between his palms.
At this moment, he was busy trying to condense the secondyer of his Grand Pagoda.
Since he was now at the preliminary stage of the Earth Realm, he was confident that this realm was
powerful enough for him to learn the second step of Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill.
After grasping the first step of this cultivation skill, he had be quite proficient at condensing the
first threeyers of the Grand Pagoda. As he continued with his cultivation practices, his golden and
radiant vital energy kept on emanating and finally covered up his arms. It was giving out such a
formidable aura that anyone seeing it would have been astonished.
Gradually, those streams of golden vital energy curled up inside Austin''s palms and pretty soon, formed
the Threeyer Grand Pagoda he had already mastered and utilized in earlier fights. The tiny pagoda
was now shining with a golden light and looked like a real object.
Austin sighed with satisfaction as he felt the violent power contained in that virtual object. He was
pleased about the fact that with his improvement in cultivation base, the Grand Pagoda he had
condensed today was much stronger than he had ever managed.
However, this was not where his cultivation ended. Intending to learn the next step of the skill, he
released another strand of vital energy and lifted the Grand Pagoda up from his palm. With a buzzing
sound, it left his hands and floated in the air. The brilliant rays it was emitting made it difficult for anyone
to look at it directly.
Recalling the instructions he had read in the book about this skill, Austin made severalplex
gestures with his hands. His slender fingers danced around, quite a bit like butterflies fluttering around
flowers, and golden colored vital energy continued toe out from his palms and flow toward the
Threeyer Grand Pagoda. These strands soon gathered over the pagoda and intertwined above it like
numerous small snakes.
He was now starting the second step of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill!
Soon a visible change could be seen on the pagoda. Slowly but surely, a fourthyer was beginning to
form on top of the previous threeyers like a new bud appearing on a stem at an extreme pace.
A Fouryer Grand Pagoda!
Austin was excited with his sess but dared not cken off. Snake-like streaks of golden vital energy
continued to flow out of his hands and merge into the pagoda which was growing taller continuously.
Soon, the fifthyer of the pagoda got its shape as well.
If Austin could condense the sixthyer of his pagoda without interruption now, he would have grasped
the second step of this powerful cultivation skill.
''Looks like I''m going quite smoothly with this. The second step doesn''t seem so difficult like the first one
so far!'' Austin thought with satisfaction.
However, disappointment sank in his heart as he heard a cracking sound at that very moment.
Following that sound, a simr noise resembling the kind when sses shattered into pieces came
from the Fifthyer Grand Pagoda. Disappointed but helpless, Austin had no other choice but to watch
quietly as cracks appeared and spread on the entire pagoda.
Finally, with a snapping sound, the pagoda floating in the air broke into numerous pieces.
Its shards broke into confetti and fell like golden rain before they were reduced to vital energy and then
the entire system vanished into thin air.
Owing to the influence of the small explosion, Austin''s body trembled slightly. A bitter smile appeared
on his face as he sensed a choking feeling inside his chest and a disturbance in his blood cirction.

If one were to be honest, the danger Austin had just experienced proved the notorious stories of the
Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill quite clearly. His failure to condense the sixthyer of the Grand
Pagoda had greatly consumed his vital energy and had done some harm to his body as well.
Thanks to the massive reserve of vital energy inside his elixir field, he could still continue with his
cultivation and practice if he wanted to.
Not wanting to give up, Austin rested for a while to calm down his pounding heart and blood pressure,
and began his cultivation once again.
He failed his second attempt as well!
And then his third attempt.
He failed, over and over again.
Still, he was not discouraged; he merely gritted his teeth and went on. Every time he failed, he received
some reward in the form of more experience. This slowly built up a path for him towards the second
step of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill. Austin was the sort of person who never gave up easily,
and his persistence carried him through all sorts of frustration.
Two whole days passed by.
Austin did not move one step away from his grotto, and failed in his attempts numerous times.
Suddenly, in the middle of his practice, there was a fierce vibration of vital energy which spread across
the whole grotto. The whole room shook slightly when that buzzing sound was heard.
The origin of that change, a Sixyer Grand Pagoda, which was shining with a dazzling and brilliant
golden light floated into existence quietly in front of Austin. It was one of the most powerful weapons he
had conjured yet.
Observing this magnificent thing he had produced through unremitting efforts, Austin''s eyes filled up
with excitement.
He didn''t care that he was sweating profusely and panting for breath due to his efforts. Nor did he care
about the fact that all of his clothes had be torn and tattered.
He was in such a state because this dangerous cultivation skill was known to cause a strong flow of air
every time the Grand Pagoda was condensed sessfully.
At the very moment that Austin had managed to form the Sixyer Grand Pagoda, he had exerted all of
his strengths in trying to defend himself from that gust of strong air.
Nheless, he smiled with satisfaction as he observed the pagoda, and he felt that all his efforts over
the course of thest two days had finally paid off.
He wondered, ''So, exactly how much power does this Sixyer Grand Pagoda contain?'' With that
thought in his mind, he quickly stood up from the ground and left his cultivating ce.
To avoid being disturbed, the grottoes for the core disciples of Sun Sect had been all built at numerous
quiet and secluded ces. After Austin stepped out from his grotto, all he could see miles and miles
away could have been summarized in one word: forest! There were birds and trees, but no other
creature.
The small, distant forest caught Austin''s eyes.
Holding the tiny but powerful pagoda in his hands, he dashed towards the forest. Standing still in front
of the line of trees, he controlled the Grand Pagoda with his mind and with a bright light and a violent
vibration of power, it shot out from his palm. It was moving with such a great momentum that the
reaction its movement exerted against the ground swept out dust, stones and leaves several feet
around Austin. Pretty soon, an area of about twenty feet in diameter was cleared out.
After that, Austin controlled the Sixyer Grand Pagoda and ordered it to fly towards the trees.
His weapon roared as it hit its goal like a meteor.
Everything shivered under its unstoppable momentum.
Just as the Grand Pagoda touched the trees, they were uprooted instantly. Even trees which were the
size of an adult''s arms snapped off immediately as if they were made of paper. The ground shook
severely, and the wind carried the sands and broken branches into the sky. Birds and beasts scattered
in all directions. It looked as if a small earthquake had shocked the area.
After a while, an eerie silence eventually fell upon the scene. Austin looked through the cloud of dust
and was surprised to see that the vibrant forest he had seen some moments ago had now turned into a
The terrible scene in front of him left Austin dumbfounded. Once again, he was shocked by the
destructive power of this grade four cultivation skill.
Snapping out of his trance, Austin noticed that an enormous amount of the vital energy inside his body
had been used up. He smiled bitterly in resignation.
It was true that the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill was extremely powerful, but the biggest downside
to this skill was that it consumed ridiculouslyrge amounts of vital energy very quickly.
After testing the power of the Sixthyer Grand Pagoda, Austin touched the Space Ring hanging over
his chest and let out a reluctant sigh.
He muttered to himself, ''Looks like I am gonna get poor again pretty soon.''
Austin now had one and a half million vital energy crystals in total.
However, he would have to spend about two thirds of that stock if he wanted to learn the second stage
of the Overlord Body-refining Form.
Ever since he had mastered the first step of this powerful form, Austin had enjoyed several benefits
of a strong body. For that very reason, he had been desirous to learn the second step of this form
too. Now that he had enough vital energy crystals with him, he decided that he should start the new
cultivation as soon as possible.
Therefore, without resting even after his several days of cultivation, he left the Sun Sect in haste. He
couldn''t wait to find the resources required for learning the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining
Form!
