Chapter 610 Embarking Upon A New Journey


    Austin ordered the five corpse demons to surround Buck, the new Sect Leader, and the two vice Sect


    Leaders of the Ghost Sect.


    These three leaders were both surprised and scared by the unexpected move.


    "That''s impossible! How could you possibly control them?


    Tell us!"


    Buck was shell shocked. He looked at the five corpse demons with disbelief written on his face.


    The two vice Sect Leaders stared at the corpse demons nkly. Their spiritual sense cultivation base


    wasn''t high enough yet, so they had not been confident in controlling the corpse demons using the


    Corpse Controlling Spell from the very beginning. Instead, they had just been trying to control the five


    corpse demons. They wondered, ''How could this young man have gained control over all five of these


    corpse demons in such a short period?''. This was totally unbelievable!


    They had been interrupted in the middle of their attempt at controlling the corpse demons with the


    Corpse Controlling Spell. None of them had expected the young man who had popped up in front of


    them, much less that he was able to control the corpse demons so easily.


    "He killed our former Sect Leader? ... How did he...


    Is he...


    Buck, could this young man be Austin?"


    the tall and thin vice Sect Leader asked aghast.


    "Austin!"


    The other two leaders instantly thought of the same person too. Terrified and concerned they both


    shifted their attention to Austin too.


    These three leaders had been in the base camp of the Ghost Sect when the principle force of the


    Mysterious Sky Empire had attacked the Imperial Capital City, so they hadn''t personally witnessed their


    former Sect Leader being killed by Austin.


    However, the Ghost Sect disciples and the Mysterious Sky Empire soldiers who had narrowly escaped


    from the battlefield had told them about Austin. They had said that a young man of terrible powers had


    reversed the tide of the battle and was responsible for their losses. Because they were both impressed


    and afraid of Austin, they had mentioned his name many times.


    So the three new leaders of the Ghost Sect had heard about the former Sect Leader''s death at the


    hands of a young man called Austin.


    Now Austin''s words reminded them of who he was.


    "Austin?!


    It''s you! Oh my God!"


    The three leaders were so shocked, it was as if they had just been struck by lightning. A deep fear


    arose within them.


    The previous Sect Leader had been a cultivator of the Imperial Realm, and was infinitely superior to


    them in cultivation base. If this young man had possessed the abilities to kill him, then surely he would


    be able to destroy the three of them like crushing three ants!


    Thinking about this, they began to tremble visibly.


    They exchanged nces, and saw the horror reflected in each other''s eyes.


    "Yes. I''m Austin.


    I''m very interested in these corpse demons. I''ll be taking them back with me.


    As for you...I''m going to send you to your former Sect Leader,"


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Austin said with a mocking smile. Then he gave an order and the five corpse demons attacked at the


    same time. After several rounds, apanied by miserable shrieks, the three leaders of the Ghost


    Sect were torn limb from limb by the ferocious corpse demons.


    Each corpse demon had the adeptness of an Imperial Realm cultivator, so it was a piece of cake for


    them to kill mere Sky Realm cultivators.


    Austin found three Space Rings among the remains of the dead men, which contained a wealth of


    cultivation riches and resources inside.


    He also found three body bags had been in their possession.


    After stuffing the five corpse demons into the body bags, Austin glued his eyes on the small, ck


    liquid filled pool.


    He detected an evil and foul smell emanating from the bottom of the pool. Although he had never been


    afraid of evil powers, Austin''s heart thumped faster as he stared into the unknown.


    He released his spiritual sense power and probed towards the bottom of the pool. Beneath there


    seemed to be an endless abyss where a continuous tide of eerie liquid and air ebbed from out of


    nowhere.


    The ominous gasses seemed to be denser than what the corpse miasma in the cer had been. Austin


    had a suspicion that the constant stream of the putrid air was the source of the corpse miasma in the


    cer.


    ''The source of the corpse miasma is in the depths of this pool. No wonder the corpse miasma is so


    strong here in the cer, ''


    Austin thought. Then he continued to probe the depth of the pool with his spiritual sense power.


    However, to his surprise, it failed to probe to the very bottom of the pool.


    ''With my current spiritual sense power, I had previously been able to probe over a range of 46, 000


    meters at least. Buy why can''t I sense the bottom of this small pool? How deep is it exactly?'' he


    wondered mystified.


    Suddenly, his face turned pale as he staggered and almost fell. He felt as if a strange force had


    suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pool from a distant and unknown ce and wiped out most of


    his spiritual sense power. He felt utterly drained by the contact with the unearthly presence!


    Due to his spiritual sense power being so severely impaired, the energy flow in Austin''s body was


    suddenly disrupted. He felt the blood in his body surge and soon, several rivulets of blood trickled over


    the corners of his lips, and he coughed convulsively for a moment.


    After eliminating his spiritual sense power which had been fully extended down the depths of the pool,


    the strange force didn''t seem to stop, but instead began to rise up towards the surface.


    Since it could so easily eliminate his spiritual sense power, Austin knew that the strange force was


    extremely powerful. He was terrified, as he realized that with his current energy drain, he was very liked


    to be killed by it!


    So he curbed his curiosity and withdrew his searching probe from the strange force. Then he shed


    away from the corpse cer at an incredible speed by using his bodily movement skill.


    Only once he had exited from the cer, did the sense of danger recede from his mind. Though it left


    him with a great uneasiness.


    Since he had gotten the five corpse demons, his purpose foring to the headquarters of the Ghost


    Sect had been satisfied. Austin didn''t want to linger in this strange ce any longer, so he continued to


    travel along using the bodily movement skill and left the Ghost Mountain.


    He knew that the sudden death of the three new leaders would be a heavy blow to the Ghost Sect.


    It would be unlikely, if not impossible, for the sect to recover within a short time.


    Maybe the sect would disappear forever from the Mysterious Sky Empire. Certainly, this was Austin''s


    hope.


    After leaving the Ghost Sect, Austin embarked upon his new journey.


    There were three powerful holy kingdoms on the South Continent of the Prime Martial World: Heavenly


    Dragon Holy Kingdom, Elite Holy Kingdom and Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom.


    In addition to these powerful holy kingdoms, there were still a number of unexplored empires of


    differentpetences. There were also at least several hundred or maybe about a thousand smaller


    countries like the Violet Orchid Empire.


    Although the Mysterious Sky Empire was a little stronger than the Violet Orchid Empire, they could be


    grouped in the same category.


    After leaving the Mysterious Sky Empire, Austin purchased a map of the South Continent of the Prime


    Martial World. During the following months, he visited a dozen small countries along the routes


    indicated on the map. On his travels, Austin had a lot of fun and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the


    rivers and mountains while observing different local customs and unusual practices of these countries.


    Meanwhile, he didn''t neglect his studies and practiced cultivating with a staunch dedication.


    He never stopped practicing the Golden Sun Scripture, and every day, at a set time, he would


    strengthen what he had already learned.


    However, it was hard work. Even for a cultivator who had reached a high vital energy level it was a


    struggle to achieve a breakthrough in the cultivation of the Golden Sun Scripture.


    Austin knew that over the past year, he had progressed at an incredible speed from the Energy


    Gathering Realm to the Sky Realm.


    The coin had two sides though. The advantage this brought was that hispetence had increased


    rapidly.


    But because he had consumed so much energy in speeding up his cultivation, his vital energy might


    not prove strong enough, and this might in fact impact the cultivation level which he might reach in the


    future.


    So Austin wasn''t overly eager to make a breakthrough for now. He nned to first focus on improving


    his vital energy quality and strengthening his cultivation base.


    He was willing to wait patiently until he was ready to make a breakthrough in the future.
