Chapter 1640 Infernal Scripture


    After Austin mastered the fifth stage of the Grand Body Refining Skill, he left the valley. Later that day,


    he found a clean, secret cave and went in. He needed the silence the cave was offering. He took out


    the half of the coffin and sat cross-legged on it.


    He took out more than ten million ruling crystals that the Earth Hermit had given him and began his


    work on refining them.


    Drawing the energy from the crystals, he tried making a breakthrough.


    Austin worked on and on and on, refining the ruling crystals.


    A month had easily passed by.


    One day, he released the powerful vital energy, which made the mountain shake. It moved violently


    until cracks started to show up.


    With an earsplitting sound, the entire mountain copsed.


    But in disbelief and amazement, Austin flew out of a heap of earth, unscathed.


    With the use of his new vital energy to defend himself, he remained clean without bruises from the fall


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    of the mountain.


    "I have finally reached the preliminary stage of Emperor Realm,"


    Austin gushed. Everything he had done was worth it.


    To break into his current realm, it cost him about three million ruling crystals.


    For the mostmon cultivators, three million ruling crystals were awfully a lot. Most of them couldn''t


    afford it, let alone see one first hand.


    Austin had improved the quality of his vital energy by practicing the Golden Sun Scripture. In terms of


    vital energy force, he was much stronger than most cultivators at his realm.


    ''The only problem is learning the Golden Sun Scripture requires a big sum of cultivation resources, ''


    Austin remarked, thinking by himself.


    "All right," he said, finally after thinking through things.


    "I''m going to study this Infernal Sword."


    He then took out the white sword, excitement and expectancy ring from his eyes.


    ording to the Earth Hermit, the Infernal Scripture might be hidden inside the Infernal Sword he was


    now holding. If Austin could get the ancient scripture from the sword, his battle force could improve


    dramatically and that could help him a lot.


    Thinking about the upgrade he could have, Austin began working on the Infernal Sword.


    For the second time, he took out the half of the coffin and sat on it cross-legged.


    The white Infernal Sword, as magical as it was, was floating in front of him.


    Austin cleared his mind, and observed the Infernal Sword.


    The ce fell into dead silence, and so did Austin.


    Days had passed.


    When he thought nothing was going on anymore and he was just wasting his time and energy, brilliant


    light emitted from the Infernal Sword.


    The light enveloped his surroundings. Austin did his best to let his eyes stay open as the light shed,


    almost blinding him.


    "Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"


    One by one, white figures rushed out from the Infernal Sword.


    The white figures seemed to be living in the ancient times and wearing clothes of their era. Some of


    them were men, while some were women. They each had a sword or was unarmed.


    They were either floating around Austin or above his head.


    Some were disying sword skills, some were practicing palm skills and some were exhibiting fist


    skills.


    A few hundred people were unleashing all kinds of skills all at once. He couldn''t feel anything but


    overwhelmed.


    Sitting in meditation, Austin had no idea of what was going on. He was focused onmunicating with


    the Infernal Sword.


    As he didn''t give up, he finally found the Infernal Scripture inside the sword.


    The Infernal Scripture entered his head.


    For a long time in the East Maind, everyone had thought that the ancient scripture had been


    missing. But now, Austin had it.


    He could now read the forms and secret skills recorded on it.


    While he was working on the ancient scripture, things crossed through his mind.


    If he could master all of the skills and forms in the ancient scripture, he could be more powerful.


    He finally understood why the principal disciples of the three holynds and the three prominent ns


    were so incredible that they could beat the cultivators of their realm effortlessly.


    It was because of this. One of the reasons was that they had the privilege to learn martial skills and


    forms on the ancient scriptures.


    Ancient scriptures were written by eminent masters living in the ancient time. Each ancient scripture


    had a long history which was preserve through many generations that had passed. And each recorded


    strong skills and forms that could make someone terrifyingly powerful.


    The Infernal Scripture had the records of the best skills and forms that only excellent members of


    the Infernal Sect could cultivate. It all made sense, and the sense he had realized made him more


    motivated to do his best.


    Another month had passed. Austin had memorized the recorded martial art skills and forms from the


    Infernal Scripture.


    He then began practicing all of what he had memorized.


    Using the skills and forms were all new to him. The first days were hard enough that a whisper of


    giving up had passed through his mind at least once, but it did get better as he pushed himself further.


    The continuous practice made everything easier and better. From the negativity that had drowned his


    thoughts in the earlier times, he had now had his mind set that he would sessfully master all of what


    Infernal Scripture had to offer. One day, he promised to himself, he would.


    In the middle of another day of memorizing and practicing, he put the Infernal Sword away.


    He had thought something that he almost had forgotten.


    "Peacock Princess... It''s time to check on her.


    I hope she''s fully recovered now," Austin said.


    From the mountains where he had stayed for quite some time, he transported himself into the City


    model.


    Upon his arrival, he was then greeted by Cheryl immediately.


    "Here you are, little man!" she said, as her energy suddenly shoot up. "We got nothing to do here and


    boredom is killing us already!" she whined.


    She made her way to him at the sight of Austin.


    As Cheryl went to him and she stood close to him, the scent of her body filled Austin''s nose.


    Cheryl always had an inviting figure with her full breasts, t stomach, and a round bottom, and no guy


    could resist from looking, staring, or even ring. Austin was not an exemption as he couldn''t help but


    steal nces at her, or technically, her assets she had always liked unting.


    "They are beautiful, aren''t they?" Cheryl teased, trying to emphasize her full round breast, not that they


    weren''t already with her sultry yet confident clothing. "I don''t mind you looking at me like this."


    She covered her mouth and giggled.


    Caught with his actions, Austin felt an intense embarrassment.


    Girls from the beast race were more open-minded just like Cheryl. They cared less about their


    reputation than human girls did. And because of their oozing sex-appeal that they easily showed off,


    they were not the type that Austin were good with.


    To resist Cheryl, Austin strode to Peacock Princess.


    "Are you all right?"


    Austin inquired.


    Peacock Princess had stayed in the City model to heal herself since Paul had caused her serious hurt


    and injury.


    "I''m good now," she answered immediately with a smile.


    "So many days have passed. I guess they had broken into Purple Immortal''s tomb, right?


    The treasures in there must have been taken away,"


    she added.


    "Yes, you''re right. No treasures were left there,"


    Austin replied.


    By the slight frown from Peacock Princess''s expression, he could tell she was slightly upset.


    Of course, she would be upset. Because of the injuries she had taken, she missed a good opportunity


    to find treasures in the tomb of a great master who had reached the Immortal Transforming Realm.


    Austin even thought that if he was Princess Peacock who couldn''t do anything about it, would be


    frustrated too.


    "This is the scripture I got there. You can spend some time on it when you''re free. It will be useful to


    you," he said.


    He transferred the Mind-clearing Scripture into Peacock Princess''s Soul Sea.


    Peacock Princess looked puzzled. "A scripture?"


    She then started skimming through the Mind-clearing Scripture.


    "No way! This is..." Astonished, she looked at Austin.


    "Thank you! This scripture is almost as precious as an ancient scripture! If cultivators recite it


    frequently, they will be able to defeat their own demons. It will be helpful for their cultivation."


    As the princess in the beast race and Peacock King''s daughter, she had seen more of the world than


    Austin. Besides, her cultivation base was also higher than his.


    So she could find the great value of the Mind-clearing Scripture immediately.


    When the emotions had died down and the pleasantries had ended, Austin stood and said, "We should


    get out of here."


    The Peacock Princess nodded. Austin then transported her, her maids and himself out of the City


    model.


    After that, he and thedies from the beast race left the mountains.


    ''How are Violet and gnome doing now?''


    Austin wondered.


    Since he and Earth Hermit had been pursued by a bunch of top cultivators of the East Maind, they


    got separated and he had no time to look for Violet and the gnome in the Purple Immortal''s tomb.


    Austin nned to find them first now that he was safe.
