As soon as he stepped out of the secret room, Austin sent a message to Warner and Emmet.
Receiving Austin's message, Warner and Emmet were elated. They rushed forward and stopped in front of him with faces glowing.
"Master, you have completed your cultivation!" they gushed in chorus.
"Yes | have. How's everything going in the Sword Cosmos? Anything exciting recently?"
Austin asked.
He had spent over a year in seclusion and had no idea what had transpired over such a long period.
"Master, everything is going well. Nothing major has happened.
There would sometimes be ssmall-scale conflicts among the people of the four major forces, but there is nothing to be
concerned about.
As a matter of fact, our sect is developing well.
We have established bases in most of the Sword Cosmos.
Except for the four major forces, everyone else in the Sword Cosmos is willing to befriend us and cooperate with us,"
Emmet reported happily.
"Well, nothing has happened so far because the four major forces have been waiting for me,"
Austin chuckled with a slight sneer.
"You are right, master.
During this past year, | spotted a good number of scouts from the four major forces around the Ethereal World. | am certain that
they took orders to keep an eye out for you.
The four major forces are definitely going to great lengths to deal with you,"
Emmet added.
"You have nothing to worry about me.
I've grown stronger. | was not afraid of the four major forces before and there is no reason forto be afraid of them now,"
Austin said with a confident smile as he puffed out his chest.
"Well, I'm going back to the Divine Sword Mountain. As always, keep everything around here in order,"
Austin said, stretching his arms.
"We will, master. Take care of yourself!"
Warner and Emmet said in unison.
"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine," Austin reassured, nodding at them.
Austin then strode towards the exit of the Ethereal World, bound for the Divine Sword Mountain.
Since he regarded the Ethereal World as his base,
he hadn't been to the Divine Sword Mountain for a long time.
During that last period of cultivation in seclusion, he had made great progress in the law of reincarnation.
Because of that, he could move faster than before especially as he traveled through the void.
Not long after, the Divine Sword Mountain cinto view.
"Humph! Such morons. The four major forces' people were still monitoring the Divine Sword Mountain. How desperate are they?"
Austin briefly stopped in his tracks and looked at the mountain in front of him.
It seemed that there was nothing going on in the Divine Sword Mountain itself.
But thanks to his powerful spiritual sense, Austin spotted at least ten semi-governing gods lurking behind its boulders.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEach of them was well cloaked, obviously utilizing sbrilliant secret skills to becinvisible.
Even ordinary governing gods had a hard tsensing them.
But at Austin's level, his spiritual sense was much stronger, way beyond that of any ordinary governing god.
He could easily spot them without any difficulty.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two beams of sharp light shot out from his eyes, aimed at the void around the Divine Sword Mountain.
A large piece of space collapsed into ashes in an instant, sending out clouds of dust in the air.
"Oh, shit! It's Austin!"
At the sight of Austin, the semi-governing gods hiding in the dark, scampered in all directions, scared out of their wits. Sof
them were almost crushed by the falling boulders of rock from the mountain.
They attempted to make their escape.
However, as soon as Austin caught sight of them, they froze and couldn't move a muscle as if they were being controlled by some
unseen force.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Austin immediately unleashed a myriad of red strings that appeared and rained down on the trapped semi-governing gods.
A moment later, the ssemi-governing gods stopped struggling and walked up to Austin as if nothing happened.
"Greetings, master!"
They bowed to him with much respect.
Austin merely sneered and asked them about their backgrounds.
It turned out that those semi-governing gods were from the four major forces. Their task was to keep a close watch on Austin and
look out when he would return to the Divine Sword Mountain.
"Now that you all work for me, continue to stay here like before.
If anything happens, informimmediately," Austin ordered them.
Without another word, he went up the Divine Sword Mountain. Soon enough, he reached the summit.
"Well done, Austin!"
Sword Son Curry praised the instant he caught sight of the young man.
Behind Sword Son Curry, the five sword spirits appeared in front of Austin.
"Austin, you've grown much faster than we expected," they said with admiration and satisfaction. They were right in choosing him.
"Ha-ha! Thank you! I'm flattered,"
Austin said, smiling at all of them.
"Master Curry, the Sword Cosmos will be under your control soon,"
Austin said to Sword Son Curry.
"Ha-ha! Thank you, Austin.
| know you are fighting for control over the Sword Cosmos for me.
The truth is that, | am not interested in ruling the Sword Cosmos anymore.
Austin, how about you take charge of the Sword Cosmos? Do you think you are ready?"
Sword Son Curry asked, flashing a big smile.
"Sir, the Sword Cosmos used to be under your control.
| am just taking it back so that it can be returned to you.
I'm not interested in ruling the Sword Cosmos at all, and | don't think that | am qualified to rule at all,"
Austin responded humbly.
The only reason why he competed with the four major forces for the ruling power of the Sword Cosmos was that he wanted to
avenge Sword Son Curry, nothing more.
Austin took no interest in ruling it. Ruling a cosmos was a tough job beyond compare and it took more than power and strength to
beca good leader.
"l used to have many subordinates under my command who are still loyal to me. | can introduce them to you.
When | was in charge of the Sword Cosmos, they swore their allegiance and that they would protectwith their lives.
Even after | left the Sword Cosmos, they have stayed in the dark waiting forto cback.
They look up toand hope that | can get back everything that | have lost. | hate to let them down.
They were partly the reason why | cback.
My subordinates have done a lot forand | hope that one day, | could return the favor,"
Sword Son Curry said with a hint of emotion.
"That's very nice."
Austin nodded in agreement.
"Cover here, all of you,"
Sword Son Curry called out to everyone.
Just then, a large number of creatures walked out of a palace.
There were hundreds of thousands of them!
From that number, at least ten thousand of them were divine gods,
including sgenuine divine gods.
Each of them gave off a very powerful vibe, sending off a message to everyone that they were very good fighters and could not be
messed with.
"Sir!"
The creatures bowed respectfully to Sword Son Curry.
They looked at him with sheer happiness and excitement, their bodies trembling slightly.
It was clear that they had deep respect and much love for Sword Son Curry from the bottom of their hearts.
Back then, when Sword Son Curry ruled the Sword Cosmos, they swore their eternal and unwavering loyalty to him.
After he was forced to leave, with heavy hearts, they had remained in hiding in the Sword Cosmos, waiting for his return.
They were convinced that Sword Son Curry would cback and reclaim his position.
Now that he had returned to the Sword Cosmos,
it was not surprising to see his old subordinates excited and jubilant to the core.
They hoped that Sword Son Curry would lead them to a bright future once more.
"Well, there is no need for such formalities,"
Sword Son Curry said in a hurry.
With his every move and every word he spoke, it showed he had a deep affection for these faithful subordinates.
"Everyone! This is Austin Lin. | guess you all know him, don't you? There is no need for a thorough introduction!"
Sword Son Curry announced to his old subordinates as he pointed at the young man beside him.
"Sir, Mr. Lin is undoubtedly powerful and wise. In fact, he has becthe most popular figure in the Sword Cosmos recently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWe have heard a lot about him.
But he doesn't know us,"
an old man with white hair said with a friendly smile.
