Moments later, the Divine Sword Cliff was surrounded by a multitude of cultivators.
However, even with their number, no one dared to get closer to the cliff.
It was because the space in front of it had been swallowed up by a mighty sword-light.
An enormous sword light, which emitted extremely terrifying sword intent, rushed to a specific spot on the threshold of the cliff.
Since Austin was wrapped in the dazzling radiant sword light, no cultivator saw him.
The sword intent was so formidable that cultivators couldn't perceive him even with the aid of their spiritual senses.
Among the crowd, however, was an old man with gray hair who had spotted him inside the sword-light.
'It's him!'
the old man thought as he stared at Austin in shock.
"It seems like he had figured out the secret of the Divine Sword Cliff.
A few hundred thousand years have passed, and such blazing sword-light appeared once again.
Looks like this young man is as talented as that man in swordsmanship!"
The old man was extremely shocked that he could hardly calm himself down.
"The sword light is too terrifying. I can't even get close to it!"
"So do I. Only those top cultivators from the holy lands or prominent clans could approach it.
Ordinary ones like us will be dead once the sword-light hits us!"
"Looks like we have to wait until it depletes if we want to find out what's going on."
A thousand cultivators gathered around the cliff as they talked, and discussed the intensified sword light.
As Austin was surrounded by the radiant light, he didn't notice the cultivators that flocked nearby.
Streaks of sword-light integrated with the five beaming light around him.
Meanwhile, Austin concentrated on comprehending how the five elements worked.
The sword lights from the cliff contained very profound rules of five elements.
It would be evidently arduous to understand how it functioned.
Time went by slowly, and the number of cultivators gathered around the cliff increased.
Their loud voices filled the entire cliff as they waited patiently.
No one dared to leave, obviously anticipating to see what was to happen.
The sword cliff was known to be connected to an ancient cultivator who had reached the Immortal Transforming Realm.
Several precious treasures must have been left there by that powerful great master. None of them would miss the opportunity of getting hold of it.
As they waited long, none of them realized that more than half a day had passed.
Gradually, the number of sword-light bursting out from the cliff decreased.
Most of the sword-light that erupted from the cliff had been absorbed by the five-element sword-light around Austin.
"Look!
I can't believe a person is sitting by the cliff!" a cultivator exclaimed.
With the sword-light around Austin slowly becoming evanescent, people had started sighting him.
"It's Austin!"
a cultivator uttered in a low voice.
"Yes, it's the Holy Heritor of the Flame Holy Land—Austin Lin."
Almost everyone recognized him, exclaiming his name as they finally sighted him by the cliff.
"He seems to be practicing some sword skill.
Did the frightening and fierce sword-lights have something to do with him? Perhaps the sword-light appeared because he was practicing a sword skill."
"Austin is really powerful, but I have never heard that he is also excellent at swordplay.
If he really created the terrifying sword-light, then he was utilizing a powerful sword skill."
"Yes, the sword intent contained in those sword-light was too frightening.
If he indeed employed it, then he must be really an outstanding swordsman."
The cultivators nearby all looked at Austin as they whispered to one another.
