Chapter 1138 The Sealed Power
Teleportation was a form of spatial power. Among the people who had such skill, the gnome''s was the
most profound, for it was his race''s special gift.
"Study this and see if you can find a way out,"
Austin told the gnome, looking forward to seeing what he could do.
Without wasting any time, the gnome began to study the space above the altar.
Austin, Violet, Nathan, and the Sect Supremo had all tried to their best to make something out of the
thing above the altar, but they really couldn''t understand it.
Annoyed, they all stepped aside and let the gnome do what he needed to do.
With the gnome concentrating on the task given to him, they all fell silent, hoping that he would be able
to help them in this situation.
Austin took out a jade slip from his Space Ring a few minutes after the gnome started working. On it
was a method called the "Fire Form".
This jade slip had existed for thousands of years now, and it had been handed down from generation to
generation within the Fire Worshiping Sect. Nathan gave it to him.
Looking through what the slip had to offer, Austin became most interested in how to control the
Unearthly Fire.
It was mainly about how to incorporate the Unearthly Fire into one''s own vital energy attack, take
advantage of its incredible power, and turn it into a move that would easily destroy an enemy.
Austin had three kinds of Unearthly Fires on him, and for the longest time, he mainly used them for
alchemy. In some cases, he was able to use its Scorching Power, but nothing more than that.
Why? Because he didn''t have the ability to control them. His knowledge was immensely insufficient,
and he was afraid to unleash something he could not control if he identally misused their powers.
That was why he became overjoyed when Nathan gifted him the jade slip of the different fire forms.
As soon as he got it, he immediately wanted to learn it and to practice how to control the Unearthly
Fires that he had.
Since he had nothing else to do, Austin decided to practice.
Also, as per what the gnome said, even if the entrance to the small alternate dimension was rally above
the altar, the spatial teleportation power was mysterious and unpredictable, making it extremely
imprable.
So even if the location of the entrance was known, it was not easy to find it.
The gnome even said it would be impossible for him to work out the details in a day or two.
With that, Austin held the jade slip in his hands and used his spiritual sense to look into it. He read the
method of how to control and use the Unearthly Fire until he had thoroughly memorized it by heart.
After he made sure that he was ready, he put the slip back into his Space Ring.
When he had everything in ce, he began to practice how to use the Unearthly Fire.
The first step in his training was to re-perceive andmunicate with the fire.
To do that, he decided to take the Scorching Evil Fire to the test as
it was the first Unearthly Fire he had subdued. He was the most familiar with it and was the most skillful
in using it.
Soon, he started using his spiritual sense tomunicate with and perceive the said fire in his body to
be able to fully understand it.
''Well, this shouldn''t be that hard, '' he thought, breathing deeply.
As this was happening, the people he was with -- Nathan, the Sect Supremo, and Violet -- were also
busy practicing somece else inside the valley.
Ever since Austin became their leader, they quickly adopted his ways. As Austin was constantly
practicing and improving himself in his spare time, they, too, had be obsessed with making sure
that they use their spare time doing things that would better their skills.
The gnome was then left by the altar, perceiving the spatial teleportation power above it with his
teleportation ability.
Suddenly, grey shadows appeared around the valley.
"Look, the humans havee to this valley.
What should we do?" one of the shadows said to hispanions.
"The queen has already told us not to give these humans a hard time," the other person said quietly.
"But this valley is an extremely important part of our tribe and it cannot be invaded by outside forces,"
he continued, his voice getting more strained.
"I think it would be better if we just go back and report to this to the queen. We could ask her to decide
what to do with these human beings," another shadow suggested.
These shadows had a hard time locating where Austin and his crew went after they escaped.
The Dragon and Phoenix Chariot Austin used was incredibly fast, and none of them was able to follow
it immediately.
They didn''t even see iting into the valley!
It was only when Austin and others stepped out of the Dragon and Phoenix Chariot that they were able
to sense where they were.
After a few more discussion and back and forth, the grey shadows hurried back to the queen''s pce
to report what had happened.

"Oh?
They have been in that valley?
It looks like they''re looking for a way out," said the queen emotionlessly when she heard the news.
With her sitting on her throne exuding power, elegance, and beauty, it was hard to decipher what she
was thinking.
"Priest, how strong is the sealed power above the altar?"
she suddenly asked the old man near her. She now looked annoyed.
The said priest, who was dressed in a flowing gray robe and had deep wrinkles on his face, furrowed
his thick eyebrows.
It was evident that he was forming his answer carefully to satiate the questioning queen.
After a while, his eyes widened, as if he finally was able to figure out what he was going to answer to
his queen. Slowly, he started saying, "Your Majesty, I believe that the sealed power above the altar has
weakened over the years. Give or take, it is currently only at 20%.
But then again, even with such a small amount left, it would still be incredibly difficult for anyone to
figure out, let alone get through." He eyes were now meeting the queen''s gaze.
"Truly, no one would be able to break that seal. Not then, not now.
It will take us at least a hundred years -- two hundred, even -- to open that sealed power and leave the
small alternate dimension,"
he concluded.
"One or two hundred years?
Our tribe has been trapped in this small alternate dimension for a thousand years,"
sighed the queen, sad and downcast over hearing the priest''s words.
"But, Your Majesty, if we can find someone with the special power to assist us, perhaps, we can leave
the small alternate dimension way sooner,"
the priest said reassuringly.
"Oh, Priest, I know the special power you are talking about.
I have searched for that all over the small alternate dimension but there is just... no one. No one has
such a positive attribute energy that is strong enough to crack the seal.
It seems that we will have to stay here in the small alternate dimension for another one or two hundred
years,"
the queen sadly said.
"You are right, Your Majesty.
The humans who had broken into the valley must have been looking for a way out.
Let me go to them, lest they unintentionally destroy the teleportation port above the altar,"
the priest said. A group of disciples quickly gathered around him and they immediately headed to the
valley where Austin and the others were.
Meanwhile, Austin was already improving his control over the Scorching Evil Fire.
He tried stretching out his right arm and slowly, the Scorching Evil Fire came out of his palm.
"Change!"
Austin ordered it authoritatively.
