Austin was being bathed in the pill-refining pot's flames in the Fallen Divine Valley during all these days.
Then, one fateful day, another momentous event took place in the Sea of Chaos.
Somewhere in its void, thunder-like noises scattered throughout the sky. The source of these loud rumbles was unknown, but they were loud and ominous.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cracks of thunder and lightning shook the entire sky as if it could collapse everything.
The void around shook violently.
Something was slowly looming out of the void. After a while, a small portion of the unknown object appeared. When a larger part of its body was shown, it turned out to be a corner of a bronze gate.
Creatures who were nearby immediately noticed this unusual phenomenon. The hustle and bustle of the crowd halted as they fixated their gaze on the sky curiously.
Then, as they all wait with bated breaths, a huge intact bronze gate materialized.
It looked ancient, with marks of its history as evidence.
"Look! There are etches on the gate."
A creature pointed as he noticed the markings.
All of them gave it a closer look. Upon inspection, they read the vague and old characters on the gate: Ethereal Spirit Cosmos.
"Ethereal Spirit Cosmos... Hmm, why does it sound familiar? I must have heard of it before."
"Ah!
Now I remember! The Ethereal Spirit Cosmos is said to be a supreme universe in the Sea of Chaos!"
"It is said that the Ethereal Spirit Cosmos once appeared in the ancient times and opened its doors to the outside worlds."
As soon as someone mentioned it, it jogged their memories about the legends that were exchanged about this supreme universe.
Numerous stories about it had been circulating in the Sea of Chaos since the dawn of time.
It had been an everlasting topic throughout. Various tales had been passed from mouth to mouth since then.
From ordinary cultivators to divine gods, everyone took interest in the supreme universe's mysteries. They were heavily fascinated about the legends that they had heard from everyone.
The spread of the news in the Sea of Chaos was fast! Eventually, most creatures from everywhere knew about the sudden appearance of the Ethereal Spirit Cosmos.
"What!?
The Ethereal Spirit Cosmos appeared again? This is a revelation!
Once its gates open, does this mean that we have a chance to enter the supreme universe?
This is a great opportunity!"
"Why do you automatically think that this would be a great opportunity? This could be a bad omen for all we know! So don't be so sure.
Don't you remember what happened in the Ninth Evil Valley last time? It was also a supreme universe that materialized without a warning.
Back then, many martial arts masters went into the Ninth Evil Valley to investigate what was inside. Stories say that they found it empty. Not a single living creature was found, and it was actually full of danger.
Fortunately, the masters who took the exploration were fortunate enough to escape the dangers of that supreme universe."
Whispers and murmurs were enthusiastically exchanged about the sudden changes. Some were bad, but some were good. All of them heavily theorized about what these alterations could bring them.
An entire day had passed since the abrupt occurrences that took place.
Then, suddenly, somewhere in another space of the Sea of Chaos, similar noises were heard again.
In the blink of an eye, chaotic energy filled the space. Beasts and creatures could feel the tremors of this ominous event. The void shook with violent roars. With it, like the last time, a huge crack appeared in the space.
A gate tainted with marks of time slowly emerged from the crack it made.
The sound of the gate emerging from the crack was deafening. It could be heard from ten billion miles away.
The noise aroused many creatures' attention. Intrigued by this phenomenon, they rushed over to take a look.
"Look, there are some words carved on the gate," one of the onlookers pointed out. "It says the Mountain and Sea Cosmos!"
There were four characters written on the plaque. The creatures promptly read what was written.
"Mountain and Sea Cosmos?!
Isn't this another legendary supreme universe?
What's going on? Two supreme universes have appeared so far!"
The crowd that formed had mixed reactions with this. Some were excited because it could be filled with treasures helpful to their cultivation. On the other hand, some were worried because this could be another disaster waiting to happen.
The news of the reappearance of the Mountain and Sea Cosmos quickly spread throughout the entire Sea of Chaos.
Needless to say, the shocking news aroused crazy attention. For quite a while, this had been the talk in the entire Sea of Chaos.
Time passed rather slowly due to the succession of circumstances.
Then, to everyone's surprise, in another part of the Sea of Chaos, another ancient-looking bronze gate squeezed out of the void and appeared in front of the people.
