Tessa sensed Austin's arrival as soon as he walked into the building where she lived.
"Austin!" she cried in surprise.
Tessa had been living alone in the small building for quite a long tnow.
It wasn't surprising to see she was overjoyed to have an acquaintance drop by.
"Tessa, wow, you have reached the premium stage of Imperial Realm.
Good for you," Austin praised her in surprise.
Tessa was only at the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm the last tthey met.
He didn't expect her to get to the premium stage of Imperial Realm in such a short period of time. You could say that Austin was
stunned by her speed.
"Austin, all the tI've been here alone, I've been doing nothing but practice and meditate all day long.
With the help of the many cultivating resources you have provided me, | unknowingly broke through to the premium stage of
Imperial Realm."
Tessa was also very excited about her ascending to a new stage.
When she was still at the Cyan Sect in the Elite Holy Kingdom, she was only at the premium stage of Sky Realm.
As an ordinary disciple from the Cyan Sect, she could only get her hands on very few resources for cultivation which meant she
had little hopes of breaking through.
Surprisingly, she had reached the premium stage of Imperial Realm, a realm higher than where she was at that time.
It was something she did not dare think of before.
"Austin, | have to show you my gratitude. If | hadn't met you, | wouldn't have reached the premium stage of Imperial Realm so
soon," Tessa stated gratefully.
She knew that a big part of her cultivation base's significant improvement was brought by Austin.
"Tessa, you don't have to be so polite to me,"
Austin said.
"Con, I'll introduce you to sof my friends."
Although Marwell and Michelle had also been living in the City for a long time, Tessa had never seen or met either of them.
Now Austin wanted them to get to know one another better.
"Okay, your friends are my friends."
Tessa nodded.
Austin then launched the City's power of teleportation and sent himself and Tessa directly to the place where the Meng family had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttemporarily settled.
Marwell and Michelle were both there to welcAustin's arrival.
The rest of the Meng family members also rushed to meet Austin.
Austin was now almost as important to their family as their family leader Marwell.
It was mostly because everyone knew that the whole Meng family was under Austin's care.
Austin was surprised to discover that Michelle had also reached the sstage as Tessa's cultivation base while Marwell had
reached the medium stage of Imperial Realm.
Joyce also began to practice martial arts and had reached the ninth level of Energy Gathering Realm.
She was on her way to breaking through to the Earth Realm.
In addition, there were more than ten members of the Meng family already at the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm.
That was to say that the Meng family from the Stone City now had more than a dozen cultivators at the Imperial Realm.
It had been something beyond their wildest dreams.
Tessa had an easy-going and bright personality so she didn't have a hard tgetting familiar with their big family.
"Austin, how are things out there now?
Is the Sky Sect still looking for us?"
Marwell suddenly asked Austin about the situation.
"Marwell, | am completely against the Sky Sect. It may not be safe for you to go outside now.
I'm afraid you're going to have to stay here for a little longer.
But | can assure you that | will settle this matter as soon as | can. | will find a new place for your family to live in."
Austin knew very well that it would be impossible for the Meng family to live in his City forever.
Sooner or later they would have to find a place in the outside world where they could start fresh.
However, judging by the current situation, the Sky Sect was likely to cafter them the moment they exposed themselves.
In fact, Austin was quite frustrated with the whole situation.
He then spent a day with the Meng family.
He had recently acquired all the wealth of more than two hundred cultivators from the Divine Crystal Square.
Among the wealth were many vital energy refining formulas and martial arts cultivation methods.
The owners of the wealth were cultivators that were either at the Astral Realm or the Master Realm; most of them were the
principal disciples of big sects or great forces in the South Continent of the PrMartial World.
Thus, their collection was definitely worth taking.
Austin took the spoils out and handed them to Marwell, Michelle, and Tessa. He then asked them to take the ones that could help
them in their cultivating.
Marwell, Michelle, Tessa, and the rest of the Meng family were stunned when they saw Austin take out about a hundred books of
vital energy refining formulas and martial arts cultivation methods.
They stared with their mouths open for a long while.
Any of these vital energy refining formulas and martial arts cultivation methods could easily be coveted and fought over by other
cultivators.
Especially for cultivators at the Imperial Realm, they would probably value these books more than their own lives.
And now about a hundred of these precious books had been laid down right in front of them.
They were shocked beyond words.
They had trouble coming back to themselves for quite a long time. They almost felt dizzy, as if they were dreaming.
Austin then stayed with the Meng family and chatted with them.
At the stime, something was happening in the boundary of the Second Outer Ring and the First Outer Ring in the Middle World
Waters.
At last, the two gates of the great palace floating over the Sand Island slowly began to close.
Bang!
With a distinct crash, the two copper gates which were several hundred meters high closed completely.
The space then began to ripple as the vast palace was surrounded by an unreal amount of spiritual energy.
Eventually, the only thing that remained was a faint shadow of the great palace.
At that point, an old man in gray stood on the Sand Island.
He stood with his hands on his back as he looked up at the disappearing palace.
"Hum, that evildoer secretly set the demon race's diabolic taboo skill in order to cto restore his life once my guard's down.
| seemed to have been a bit careless,"
mumbled the old man, with a bit of anger painted on his face.
"Well, Austin is a funny young man.
He has both talent and perseverance.
And he even got the Fire Stela. What a great surprise indeed!
But God knows how far he can go in martial arts world.
There have been countless brilliant talents in the past.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
However, most of them couldn't stand the test of time.
Well, it would all depend on his own luck,"
added the old man in gray as he looked towards Austin's direction.
"Now that the evildoer's resurrection plan has failed, it might be tforto leave the PrMartial World."
As these words were spoken, he took a step forward as a space-tcrack appeared in the void right in front of where he stood.
He walked into the crack and disappeared within a second.
At the stime, the whole South Continent of the PrMartial World felt electricity in their atmosphere.
It was because of the boy named Austin who got four archaic weapons from an ancient master's palace!
The news flew spread among all the forces and sects within only a few days.
All the forces and sects began to deploy people to hunt Austin down.
Austin's portrait was scattered throughout the whole South Continent in the PrMartial World.
Sbig forces and sects even made a lot of spiritual soul jade slips and engraved them with Austin's spiritual soul to help their
disciples identify Austin as they hunted him down.
Austin's spiritual soul was provided by smasters at the Tribulation Realm. They secretly performed arcane spells and got it in
the valley of the Divine Crystal Square.
The main house of the Song Clan was located in the Evergreen City somewhere in the eastern part of the Heavenly Dragon Holy
Kingdom.
Now, in the large hall of the house, an old man with white hair and a long beard was sitting in a wooden armchair. It was the seat of
honor.
The others looked at the old man in awe as no one dared to speak.
The old man was Symons Song, the Song Clan's patriarch, and the rightful leader of the Song Clan in the Heavenly Dragon Holy
Kingdom.
At that time, he was holding a piece of a spiritual soul jade slip.
"Does this contain that Austin's spiritual soul?"
Symons Song asked slowly without a single expression on his face.
"Yes father, this jade slip has been engraved with Austin's spiritual soul.
He was able to acquire four archaic weapons in an ancient master's palace,"
replied a gentle middle-aged man who stood beside him.
"So Austin must be the one who had killed Ronald!"
Symons Song grunted with a sharp glimmer in his eyes.
