Chapter 1053 Two Standing Skeletons (Part One)
Shocked to his very core, Austin stopped moving. He tried to catch his breath and bring back his
and why it was buried underground like this.
He looked left and right as he searched for a proper entrance. A few momentster, his eyesid on a
And without wasting any time, he jumped into the air and flew towards the direction of the entrance.
Being the fast and excited warrior that he was, he arrived in his destination in a blink of an eye.
Steadily, hended in front of the entrance.
Austin carefully examined the entrance as soon as he had the chance to do so. What he saw were
attack marks and copsed parts around the entrance area. It looked old and looked like it had already
suffered a lot of erosion over time. It was then safe to assume that the entrance had been abandoned
for a very long time, but he was not sure yet of what it used to be.
He then noticed that the name que that hung over the gate of the entrance was still there. And to his
surprise, it was still intact. He looked more closely at the details of the que and saw two distinct
characters which, as he presumed, were written in an ancient way.
Austin understood that this ce was littered with relics of some sect or martial arts as soon as the
entrance te showed.
And from what he could infer from the te was that this abandoned ce was once belonged to a
sect called the Oracle Sect.
He racked his brain to recall anything he might know of this sect, but to no avail. Through his life, he
had never heard such a sect across the Prime Martial World.
With his agile movements, Austin gracefully leaped into the air. He quickly ran through the entrance
gate and darted into the unknown world waiting for him to uncover. He was brimming with such a
strong desire to explore the relics of the infamous Oracle Sect.

Austin saw numerous majestic pces on his way. Delicate pavilions and buildings were scattered
around them to form one magnificent array.
But most of the architectures around were severely damaged. The ce was deserted and abandoned.
The walls were copsed and buildings that once stood grandly had turned into rubble. It all looked like
an aftermath of a serious fight.
''I wonder how old these pces might be, '' Austin pondered as he inspected the dusts and dirt
scattered around. ''It might''ve been centuries—maybe even longer, '' he continued. The piles of rubble
from what seemed like once great architecture was now a rotten corpse miid by history.
As Austin trudged along, he encountered numerous skeletons scattered all around.
Judging from the clothes on the skeletons and the weapons nearby, he was able to deduce that they
were bodies of former warriors. Some bones of the skeletons were broken from the middle and some
scattered into pieces.
As he looked around, he noticed that some bones were barely intact but there were few that could be
discerned as whole parts of bones.
As far as Austin was concerned, the bodies of these former warriors must have suffered some kind of
terribly fatal attack. It was so fierce that their bodies were blown up into fragments and no intact bones
were left.
All Austin had seen only pointed to one thing: everything here proved that the Oracle Sect must have
gone through something really terrible.
Numerous Oracle Sect disciples must have died in that fight.
''That''s it! Maybe the fight in here caused the disappearance of the Oracle Sect, '' Austin thought as he
put two and two together.
When he inspected farther into the mountain, Austin found something more surprising.
Aside from the skeletons of the warriors scattered around, there were some other strange skeleton
figures that were odd but resembled humanoid features. They were muchrger, ranging in three to
four meters in length.
Austin decided to inspect the sizable strange skeletons to see what he could get. Upon looking, these
reminded him of something that was beyond his imagination.
''Wait! I know this! Where did I see humanoid creatures with this size? The huge skeletons must be the
remains of the demon race!'' he contemted.
''The ones attacking the Oracle Sect must havee from the demon race!''
Austin felt shocked with such a stunning conclusion, his chest heaved with excitement.
All the debris of the bones had already crumbled. He estimated that they must have been here for
roughly six or seven centuries already.
Austin recalled that the demon race of the Demon Abyss World once insinuated a war against humans
many years back. They must have gone through the Oracle Sect as well. No matter what the result
was, their intrusion led to the demise of the Oracle Sect.
After thorough investigation of the debris and the rotting skeletons thatid about, Austin could only
think of this conclusion.
Austin took a look around after he reached the center of the relics of the Oracle Sect.
Despite the ghastly human and demon skeletons all around, the ce folded around Austin like it was
taking possession of him. Leafy trees were all over the ce and blocked his motion in every direction.
Every view was unique but the same all at once. Animals frolicked and harbored themselves in the
grooves, and various birds sang sweet songs on the trees. Its serenity and beauty were pure for its
istion from the outside world for many years.
Going deeper into the relics, Austin noticed that the ce hummed with life all around. He was
impressed by the harmonious integration of spiritual energies in nature. The spiritual energies from
heaven and earth were not only thick, but also pure. It was the perfect ce for cultivation.
No wonder the Oracle Sect chose this ce to develop their people. It was indeed a perfect ce to
build a stronghold.
Austin checked around and imagined the glorious past of the Oracle Sect. All the trees were tightly-knit,
just one strand in a massive web of life. The scent of earth and water drifted through the air. It was a
picture of serenity, one which would endure for many long years. He could not help but feel that this
ce was indeed a perfect refining environment.
