The skeleton of a demonic beast was moving at an incredibly fast speed as it flew along with the rolling clouds.
Four people were sitting cross-legged on top of it.
Austin was busy with his cultivation. His eyes were closed as he tried to focus on practicing the Golden Sun Scripture.
However, he couldn't focus on his concentration.
He was distracted as he kept on thinking about the scenes of the Mad Old Man as he fought his enemies, and this left him shocked and excited.
'Compared to that battle, those fights I had with my enemies were nothing but a child's play.
That is the real battle.
That's the fight between the strong cultivators.' Austin realized how weak he was compared to those real strong masters that he met since he had reached the Divine Continent.
'I must be stronger, he vowed to himself.
He could not think of anything aside from the ways on how he could improve his strength.
Austin took stto relax.
"It's tto check the valuables I've got from the Solamnia Kingdom," he murmured.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAustin then took out two Space Rings.
One of them was the prize reward after he had won the Martial Arts Tournament.
The other one was personally given to Austin by the king as a reward. It was his sign of appreciation after he had warned him of the grand prince's conspiracy.
Austin got those two rings from the royal family of the Solamnia Kingdom.
He had almost forgotten about the existence of those two rings.
Austin checked the contents of the two Space Rings through his spiritual sense.
He was elated at what he had seen.
The two Space Rings contained a total of about five to six hundred million divine vital energy crystals.
Aside from that, there were dozens of archaic magic treasures and three to four primeval magic treasures; two of them were even high-grade primeval magic treasures.
Austin's Ancient Dragon Sword was just a low-grade primeval magic treasure. He was overjoyed after he got two high-grade primeval magic treasures.
He also saw a great number of grade eight or nine elixirs and pills.
Even though they were high-grade pills and elixirs, these items were no longer valuable to Austin.
Despite that, he could use them as his cultivation resources.
Austin also spotted several martial skill jade slips.
He skimmed through the contents of the jade slips and found that those martial skills were amazingly powerful.
Since he had no intention of learning new skills for now, he put the jade slips aside.
"Fine. From now on, I'll just focus on improving my cultivation base," Austin murmured after he finished checking the contents of the two Space Rings.
He then touched his Space Ring, and around twenty to thirty million divine vital energy crystals cout from it.
He took out a jade bottle from the ring and drank half of the bottle of the Refined Vital Energy Liquid.
The Refined Vital Energy Liquid transformed into enormous energy, and it coursed through his body. Austin clasped his hand and concentrated while he was being surrounded by divine vital energy crystals "Swoosh!" He was in the midst of concentration when the third golden ball flew out of his body. It hovered above his head and lit up brilliantly like a scorching sun.
All of the energy from the divine vital energy crystals was sucked into the golden ball.
Austin was immersed in his cultivation.
"What's this?" A surprised voice broke the silence.
Mad Old Man was in deep concentration as he healed himself rom his injuries. He was disrupted vhen he heard a loud rushing noise of air from Austin's side. He then pened his eyes and was stunned Is he looked at him with the golden all that floated above his head. 'Looks like this brat is practicing samazing formula.
This one is much better than those formulas in our base. I was planning to select an energy-refining formula for him, but I think there is no need for that, the Mad Old Man thought while he observed the golden ball as it floated above Austin's head.
Five days later, all the spiritual energy in the divine vital energy crystals was sucked into the golden ball.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAustin then took out another twenty to thirty divine vital energy crystals. He placed them around him and continued his cultivation.
Ten days later, all the spiritual energy in those divine vital energy crystals was gone.
Austin replaced them with another batch of divine vital energy crystals.
About half a month passed, Mad Old Man, who had been working on healing himself, opened his eyes and got up. "We're almost there!" he said delightedly.
After he heard the old man's words Austin stopped cultivating and stood up.
And so did Caroline and Tyler.
When Austin looked down, a vast range of mountains and valleys cinto his view. All he could see was a desolate wilderness and strong diabolic beasts that growled inside it. 'Looks like we are above a barren area without people,' Austin thought.
Twelve hours later, the skeleton of the demonic beast slowed down.
They saw a small village that appeared before the mountains.
'What a surprise. There is a village in such a deserted area, ' Austin thought. "Swoosh!" The skeleton of the demonic beast landed in front of the village.
"Guys, here we are," the Mad Old Man said before he jumped off the skeleton.
Austin, Caroline and Tyler followed him.
The Mad Old Man waved his hand, and the demonic beast's skeleton disappeared instantly.
Austin studied the village in front of him carefully. 'It seems like the people here lead a peaceful, quiet life. I can hear the dog's bark and the I chicken's cock. There is nothing special about this village. Most of the houses here are made of rocks.' Austin was baffled after he realized something. 'You've gotta be kidding me! Is this place the base of the FlHoly Land this old man referred to?' He looked around the village with a stunned expression on his face.
'Seriously? The base of a holy land is located at a humble village? Even the Sun Sect of Violet Orchid Empire, where I used to live, is way much better than this far-flung, simple village.
Did this old man lead us to the wrong place?'
