"Your supreme grandmaster?"
Austin asked, stopping his actions.
'Is there even a supreme grandmaster in the Flying Immortal Sword Sect?'
Austin thought suspiciously.
"The supreme grandmaster of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect!
No way! The supreme grandmaster of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect was born several eras ago! He can't still be alive!"
some of the old men in the Sword Cosmos exclaimed, covering their mouths with their hands.
Boom!
Suddenly, in the far corner of the sacred altar, a grand aura came into view.
Endless bright sword radiance collected and flew around.
Then,
an old man in a grey robe hobbled out clutching feebly onto a cane.
With every step, his whole body trembled. Every inch of his face was wrinkled and both his eyes were opaque.
He looked harmless but Austin still narrowed his eyes.
Through instinct, Austin had discovered that this old man's fighting power was stronger than all the governing gods in the Sword Cosmos.
He looked ancient but there was terrible sword energy surging around his body.
Thin streaks of sword aura cut horizontally and vertically across the space where he stood, creating a maze of swords.
From it, an invisible, strong pressure slowly spread out.
Austin and the governing gods of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect were the only ones exempt from feeling it. All the creatures nearby trembled or fell limp and feeble.
"Wait.
This terrifying master has been hiding in the Sword Cosmos this whole time?"
None of the governing gods of the Blade Cosmos could believe it. They had to disguise their surprise behind serious expressions.
"Old man, you've surprised me. I had no idea that there was a master like you in the Flying Immortal Sword Sect,"
Austin said, staring at the old man.
"How dare you!
Austin, you are offending our supreme grandmaster!"
the sect leader of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect shouted.
"He's just an old man. Does he even deserve my respect?"
Austin snapped back, glaring at the sect leader.
"Austin, if you belittle our supreme grandmaster, we won't let you leave!"
the other governing gods of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect added.
"Shut up!"
the old man said in a surprisingly loud voice.
Immediately, all seven of the governing gods of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect stopped talking.
"Young man, you possess an amazing amount of great cosmos force!"
the old man praised, examining Austin from head to toe as he stepped down from the altar.
"In all my days, I never saw a young genius like you coming to the Sword Cosmos.
Maybe this is a sign that our four major forces are on the decline."
The old man was extremely calm and gentle-sounding. He shook his head slightly.
"Old man, you don't have to pretend to be elegant in front of me.
Let's just fight now and get it over with,"
Austin said coldly.
"I'm too old to fight."
The old man sighed slightly and shook his head once more.
He hadn't even released his full aura upon his arrival. It was as if he didn't want to provoke Austin.
"Supreme grandmaster!"
the sect leader and the six governing gods of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect cried out.
They all could sense the dejection in their supreme grandmaster's tone.
"It's true.
Don't be surprised about that.
I'm just too old."
The old man looked at the ground and sighed. He had no ambition to fight ever again.
Austin remained silent, staring coldly at the old man.
Although this old man was very powerful,
Austin had the confidence to fight and defeat him.
However, it seemed that the old man didn't plan to fight against Austin.
"Young man, the power and wealth in the world are as transient as fleeting clouds in my eyes.
In the eyes of the real rulers, we ordinary people are not worth mentioning no matter how much power we acquire in our lifetimes.
I won't fight with you. After all, I may not be your true opponent.
