Inside the secret chamber, Austin practiced with intense focus. Swoosh! He waved his sword more than a thousand times swiftly within seconds.
Wielding his sword like that was not new to him. As a matter of fact, with Austin's first-rate swordsmanship cultivation base, such maneuvers should be child's play to him.
However, when Austin tried to condense the sword intent of a thousand moves into one, he found that it was nearly impossible for him to do so. He had continuously attempted to do the techniques according to the Concentration Method, but he still had a hard time.
Hence, Austin continued to practice his swordsmanship, slowly increasing the number of moves as he progressed. He repeated the same steps without mistake until he successfully condensed a hundred sword intents into one.
At his current swordsmanship cultivation base, Austin could wield his sword a hundred times within a second.
Moreover, he was able to condense a hundred sword intents into one without much difficulty.
"Ugh," Austin scoffed.
He felt deeply frustrated and ashamed.
Austin had a hard time condensing the sword intent.
But he knew that once he had mastered it, he could acquire horrifying power.
Swish, swish, swish!
Inside the secluded chamber, the sword shadows flashed. The sword lights also shone amidst the darkness of the cave.
Austin held his long silver sword and waved it constantly.
The enclosed cave was ideal for Austin to cultivate his sword skills as it gave him sufficient time to practice without being interrupted.
Austin studied the methods of condensing and refining the sword intents every day.
Time passed by as quick as a flash and it had since been a hundred years!
A century of cultivation had gone by. For an ordinary cultivator, it would have been a bore task to practice the same method every day.
However, Austin was patient and very much satisfied with his development.
Now, Austin could condense five hundred sword intents into one!
Then, another six or seven hundred years passed by.
After long years of attempting to master the sword intent, a thousand sword intents were finally condensed into one.
Austin was now capable of unleashing a much stronger sword aura than before. Its power had escalated exponentially.
However, Austin had not yet stopped practicing with intense rigor.
It was not until two thousand years later that he ceased his cultivation.
By then, he was able to condense five thousand sword intents into one!
Austin had always had a flair with swordsmanship ever since he first wielded a blade, but his skills had never been more prominent than it was that day.
After almost three thousand years of practice in the secret chamber, he had reached the level of condensing five thousand sword intents into one.
After he reached such a level, something had changed in Austin. When he looked at his enemies, his glares alone would cause an invisible fire blazing in the stale air.
Still, he went on practicing his swordsmanship.
But when he could condense 6, 000 sword intents into one, he discovered that he had slowed down and might have reached his peak.
'Huh. It seems that my swordsmanship cultivation base has reached a bottleneck, '
Austin thought to himself.
He had encountered such a gridlock in his vital energy cultivation process before, so he knew what was going on.
"Well, I will practice again later."
Austin stopped all his exercises and sat still for a while.
Coming across a bottleneck meant that one had gone through enough blisters, but still had to accumulate more trials before one could break through again.
Austin had been practicing swordsmanship in the time chamber for almost three thousand years. Nevertheless, only about three months had just passed in the outside world.
Austin carried on with his cultivation again after resting for a while.
For him, enhancing his strength was his top priority.
Then, Austin started to cultivate his spatial power.
Before saying goodbye to each other in the chaotic void, the old man had infused his experience about cultivating the spatial power into Austin's Soul Sea.
This old man's spatial force was astonishing.
The cultivation methods he had taught Austin were much precious and efficient.
In his Soul Sea, Austin carefully read the information that the old man gave him where the secrets of cultivating the spatial power were written.
After reading it more than a dozen times, Austin felt as if he already understood everything.
In terms of the spatial power, Austin first learnt it from the gnome.
Since then, he had been exploring and practicing it all by himself.
He never had a real mentor to guide him. There were times when he was confused and defeated that it felt like he was going insane.
But now that he had obtained the old man's guidance of the strategies in efficient spatial power cultivation, Austin had finally connected his pre-existing knowledge with it and gained a more comprehensive knowledge on the subject.
Austin then began to cultivate his spatial power.
