The leader of the Sword Palace began to teach Austin everything about swordsmanship he knew, including the secret skills that made him one of the most formidable in the craft.
These were the best swordsmanship skills Austin had encountered in this universe.
But even then, they were not as good as the Concentration Method and Divine Polarity Swords skills Austin had acquired.
Austin thus decided he had no need to learn the secret methods from the leader of the Sword Palace.
The skills and expertise he had accumulated from the leader of the Sword Palace thus far was enough.
The leader of the Sword Palace, after all, was known as a veteran fighter and a master swordsman in this universe. His swordsmanship, sharpened by experience, was more powerful than Austin's.
Austin could learn as much as he could, reading the information in his Soul Sea left by the leader of the Sword Palace. The latter's enlightening tutelage would thus prove to be a great boon to him.
The training was completed a day later.
The leaders of the Yaksha Palace and head of the heaven crow race left on the same day, to reorganize their forces.
These two great forces, after all, were actually already under Austin's leadership.
The leader of the Yaksha Palace was on his way to where his people disappeared after a fierce battle several days ago.
They had hidden themselves in a secret place at the edge of the universe, a concealed base of the Yaksha Palace that had been operating for quite some time now.
Things were not as simple for the Sword Palace's leader. "I'm not going back to the Sword World.
Our supreme grandmaster has completely given up on me. From now on, I'll either live in the Immortal End World or stay with you,"
he said to Austin morosely. He had been a bit lonely after the departure of his fellow leaders from the Yaksha Palace and the heaven crow race.
He felt abandoned. He knew the supreme grandmaster of the Sword World no longer cared what happened to him after no less than handing him over to Austin in person.
He was well aware that even if he went back to the Sword World, the supreme grandmaster would hardly allow him to stay there.
"Fine with me,"
Austin responded with a curt nod.
After Austin finished his training, the leaders of other worlds paid a courtesy call to him in his military tent to give him a situation report.
They informed him that the troops from the underworld had not made any movements since they retreated and escaped from the Fighting Star Cluster.
Even the corpse soldiers in other star clusters had stayed quiet, not taking any action at all.
They added that other great forces had likewise fallen silent, including the Heavenly Palace, the Sky Phoenix Kingdom, the Star Island, and the White Tiger Mountain. Some powerful worlds had been reported to have shut down outright.
There had been no incident of note in the past two days. It would seem the whole universe had gone quiet.
Austin found this calmness strange.
It wasn't too long ago when the universe was beset with fighting and bloodshed, and tension rife in the atmosphere.
For instance, it was only a few days ago when the Universal Allied Army and the corpse troops from the underworld engaged in battle.
The sudden stillness now was jarring.
"Hm. Why is it so quiet suddenly?"
Austin wondered aloud, frowning at the report.
"Is this the calm before the storm?"
Austin couldn't help but feel worried. Deep in thought, he stared into the distance.
Austin could understand why the Heavenly Palace, the Sky Phoenix Kingdom, the Star Island, and the White Tiger Mountain would keep a low profile now. They were probably being careful not to provoke him.
