"Some demonic skills are very strange and magical. For one, not only can they be used to take another person's body, but they can also be used to fuse another person's remains. They are really hard to defend yourself against. You were really lucky to have survived.
However, the demonic energy that you have inside your body is far beyond the amount that the human body can handle. So, simply put, the demonic energy inside of you may end up harming you one day.
Keep in mind that demonic energy is also a kind of evil energy, and when it accumulates and reaches a certain amount in your body, it will inevitably invade your Soul Sea and affect your spiritual soul and will.
In the end, you will most likely become a demon who can only think about killing.
But as of now, your spiritual soul and will do not seem to have been invaded by demonic energy just yet.
This, I think, is very strange.
But nevertheless, you should still remember to be careful from now on. I would strongly advise you to rid your body of any demonic energy, just in case it causing you any unknown damage,"
Godwin remind Austin earnestly.
"Thanks for the warning,"
Austin replied, sincerely grateful for Godwin's well-meaning advice.
"I'll make sure to pay more attention to it."
In hindsight, Austin was already well aware of what Godwin said.
He knew that demonic energy really wasn't suitable for human cultivators.
If there was too much demonic energy in a human cultivator's body, then sooner or later, it would invade his Soul Sea, and affect his spiritual soul and will. In the long run, the cultivator with demonic energy would likely turn into a demon.
But there was something that Godwin did not know: as a matter of fact, Austin actually had an invaluable treasure in his Soul Sea—the spiritual tree.
This particular treasure that Austin was in possession of could refine all kinds of energy and transform it into spiritual sense.
Therefore, the reason why Austin was able to store huge amounts of demonic energy without being harmed by it was that the demonic energy that invaded his Soul Sea had actually been refined by the spiritual tree.
Austin, however, chose to keep the existence of the spiritual tree a secret from Godwin even though he knew that Godwin would not try to take it away from him out of greed if he found out about its existence in his Soul Sea.
Now that he had gone through countless trials and tribulations, Austin knew better than to tell others all of his secrets.
Upon noticing the calmness that took over Austin's face after he said his piece of advice, Godwin cast a thoughtful glance at Austin as if he had just gotten an epiphany.
Still, he chose not to say anything. After all, in his old age, he no longer had any interest in probing into the secrets of a younger generation.
Besides, he had a good opinion of Austin—he truly believed that he was a good young man.
"Well, you can rest here for the following days to come.
You don't seem to have had much practice in the Earth Formula I taught you.
Try to master it. I promise you that its power will not disappoint you.
As for me, I will fix your friends' elixir fields first.
The entire process will take several days,"
Godwin stated.
Upon hearing Godwin's words, Austin excitedly teleported Evan and Herbert out of his City model.
The moment they appeared, Godwin rolled up his sleeves and led Evan and Herbert into one of the huts.
When Godwin finally started repairing the elixir fields for Evan and Herbert, Austin couldn't help but feel both surprised and expectant.
For the meantime, Master Li warmly entertained Austin and arranged separate huts for him and the queen.
In that moment, Austin also realized that the peak of the mountain was actually a hermitage for Master Li and not for Godwin.
Master Li, on the other hand, seemed to have acknowledged Austin as Godwin's disciple, and was very enthusiastic about having a co-disciple under Godwin.
In this way, they both shared a teacher.
Meanwhile, Austin was delighted to have such a powerful teacher.
Master Li was so enthused by Austin that he actually asked Austin to call him by his first name, but Austin chose to stick to his original way of addressing him in order to show his respect.
After Austin had settled in, he did as he was instructed and began to cultivate the Earth Formula that Godwin had taught him for the next two days.
Even though he had already practiced it in the Heaven Pavilion Sect for a short period of time, due to various reasons and events, he had no time and energy to continue practicing it.
...
Austin stood on a flat clearing at the peak of the serene mountain.
