The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 219

Austin was sitting peacefully in the lotus position inside his grotto for cultivation. There were signs of extreme concentration on his face.

His fingers were crossed together and were making several complex incantation gestures. With each of his motions, numerous streams of golden vital energy gradually gathered between his palms.

At this moment, he was busy trying to condense the second layer of his Grand Pagoda.

Since he was now at the preliminary stage of the Earth Realm, he was confident that this realm was powerful enough for him to learn the second step of Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill.

After grasping the first step of this cultivation skill, he had become quite proficient at condensing the first three layers of the Grand Pagoda. As he continued with his cultivation practices, his golden and radiant vital energy kept on emanating and finally covered up his arms. It was giving out such a formidable aura that anyone seeing it would have been astonished.

Gradually, those streams of golden vital energy curled up inside Austin's palms and pretty soon, formed the Three-layer Grand Pagoda he had already mastered and utilized in earlier fights. The tiny pagoda was now shining with a golden light and looked like a real object.

Austin sighed with satisfaction as he felt the violent power contained in that virtual object. He was pleased about the fact that with his improvement in cultivation base, the Grand Pagoda he had condensed today was much stronger than he had ever managed.

However, this was not where his cultivation ended. Intending to learn the next step of the skill, he released another strand of vital energy and lifted the Grand Pagoda up from his palm. With a buzzing sound, it left his hands and floated in the air. The brilliant rays it was emitting made it difficult for anyone to look at it directly.

Recalling the instructions he had read in the book about this skill, Austin made several complex gestures with his hands. His slender fingers danced around, quite a bit like butterflies fluttering around flowers, and golden colored vital energy continued to come out from his palms and flow toward the Three-layer Grand Pagoda. These strands soon gathered over the pagoda and intertwined above it like numerous small snakes.

He was now starting the second step of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill!

Soon a visible change could be seen on the pagoda. Slowly but surely, a fourth layer was beginning to form on top of the previous three layers like a new bud appearing on a stem at an extreme pace.

A Four-layer Grand Pagoda!

Austin was excited with his success but dared not slacken off. Snake-like streaks of golden vital energy continued to flow out of his hands and merge into the pagoda which was growing taller continuously.

Soon, the fifth layer of the pagoda got its shape as well.

If Austin could condense the sixth layer of his pagoda without interruption now, he would have grasped the second step of this powerful cultivation skill.

'Looks like I'm going quite smoothly with this. The second step doesn't seem so difficult like the first one so far!' Austin thought with satisfaction.

However, disappointment sank in his heart as he heard a cracking sound at that very moment.

Following that sound, a similar noise resembling the kind when glasses shattered into pieces came from the Fifth-layer Grand Pagoda. Disappointed but helpless, Austin had no other choice but to watch quietly as cracks appeared and spread on the entire pagoda.

Finally, with a snapping sound, the pagoda floating in the air broke into numerous pieces.

Its shards broke into confetti and fell like golden rain before they were reduced to vital energy and then the entire system vanished into thin air.

Owing to the influence of the small explosion, Austin's body trembled slightly. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he sensed a choking feeling inside his chest and a disturbance in his blood circulation.

If one were to be honest, the danger Austin had just experienced proved the notorious stories of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill quite clearly. His failure to condense the sixth layer of the Grand Pagoda had greatly consumed his vital energy and had done some harm to his body as well.

Thanks to the massive reserve of vital energy inside his elixir field, he could still continue with his cultivation and practice if he wanted to.

Not wanting to give up, Austin rested for a while to calm down his pounding heart and blood pressure, and began his cultivation once again.

He failed his second attempt as well!

And then his third attempt.

He failed, over and over again.
