Austin took the vital energy crystals that piled on the ground like a small hill back into his space ring, then he focused all his attention on cultivation.
When he was at the Valley Town the past few weeks, he hadn't found any time to cultivate. Fortunately, after a few battles he had reinforced his strength. Not long after he entered the preliminary stage of Earth Realm, he had stabilized his level.
As soon as the Golden Sun Scripture started to work, Austin was immediately in the groove.
When he entered the Earth Realm, the size of the light ball in his elixir field became as big as the size that was equivalent to five or six fists gathering together. The luminous ball glittered like gold. Austin's whole body shone under the numerous beams of dazzling golden light. His muscles, bones, and energy meridians were covered with a layer of golden brilliant light. The rays of golden light flew through his arteries, veins and his four limbs. It made Austin feel as if his body was full of endless strength.
The more Austin practiced the Golden Sun Scripture, the more he felt that it was a magical and ingenious martial arts masterpiece. He didn't know which grade this formula was but according to the introduction in the outline, with persistent efforts, the practitioner would be able to progress from the elementary stage and reach the Divine Realm. This was all possible with only the Golden Sun Scripture in hand.
Austin had no idea what the Divine Realm was and which level it was in the vital energy cultivation. The name of it alone, which included Divine, gave Austin the impression that it was something very superior.
He therefore assumed that the Golden Sun Scripture was certainly more advanced than the fifth grade or sixth grade martial arts formulas. More than that, Austin guessed that it might even exceed the seventh grade martial arts formulas.
On the other hand, Austin found that after he entered the vital energy Earth Realm, the speed in which the light ball grew in his elixir field became slower.
Austin pondered on it and figured out that for all the martial arts formulas, the more advanced the level one reached, the more difficult it would be for the practitioner to make a breakthrough and advance to the next level. Thus, it made sense why the light ball grew slowly.
Austin decided that he would spend the next two days cultivating the Golden Sun Scripture and Illusory Swordsmanship.
It was said that when one reached the Major Achievement Stage of the Illusory Swordsmanship, one would be able to shoot over one hundred sword-lights at one strike. As of now, even when Austin tried his best, he was only able to shoot about twenty sword-lights at a time. He was still far away from the Major Achievement Stage.
Because of that, Austin planned to spend more time on practicing the Illusory Swordsmanship
After two days in the practice room, Zen held the Violet Royal Sword in his hand and swung the sword into the sky. He focused his mind on the movement of the sword. The sword-lights spread all over the practice room, with the sword intent emitting a great momentum.
Austin moved like a flying dragon. He struck the sword elegantly with quick and light steps. He showed an extraordinary swordsmanship that no one else could match. His whole body was engulfed in the dazzling sword-lights that intertwined with each other. It emanated a great power like that of a horrible rainstorm. The mist-covered fairyland-like scene was so ethereal and capricious that it made it difficult to tell whether it was the real world or only an illusory dream.
All of a sudden, from the clouds and mists came over thirty sword-lights that went in all directions of the practice room. The sword-lights carried terrifying murderous will and forged ahead quickly and forcefully. It was as unconquerable as ever.
Crack! Boom! Bang! ...
The deafening thuds pierced through the air and they were followed by the sight of over thirty holes that appeared on the walls of the practice room.
Then swiftly, Austin took back his sword. The sword-lights and sword energy dissipated immediately. Austin stood alone in the center of the room with his sword in his hand and his eyes closed. He went through the whole process again in his mind.
He reflected on the sword's momentum and on the sword intent that was produced when he struck the sword moments ago. He was so intoxicated in his meditation that he buried himself with his practice and totally forgot the world around him.
The more he dug into it, the more he understood about the swordsmanship. More insights on the swordsmanship suddenly appeared in his mind.
Now, the sword energy and sword intent that emanated from him became more pure and refined. His whole figure appeared like a long sharp sword.
All of a sudden...
