The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"Perhaps Earth Hermit cto a breakthrough with the help of the Purple Immortal's treasures he got.

We can only imagine the number of amazing treasures in it," the elder in gray said.

These people knew that Earth Hermit and Austin had taken the Purple Immortal's coffin with them.

"You have a point," another elder butted in.

"His breakthrough must've something to do with the Purple Immortal's treasures.

We can't afford to waste tmaking assumptions here. Let's go now and find them!"

He then turned to a light dot and flew towards the compass's direction.

The other elders followed suit.

A day later, news about several top sects destroying the FlHoly Land spread like wildfire in the East Mainland.

People were shocked to hear such explosive news, especially since all cultivators knew that the FlHoly Land was being rebuilt.

However, they didn't know where the FlHoly Land was. Its core members had kept a low profile in the past decades, rebuilding

the sect in secret.

That was why hearing about the FlHoly Land getting wiped out cas a tremendous shock. How on earth did the assailants

track its address?

More news had kept coming.

People heard that the three ultimate magical treasures appeared during the battle between FlHoly Land and other sects.

Amidst the intense battle, the three remarkable magical treasures turned the battlefield into ruins.

As soon as this news broke out, throngs of cultivators went running to the battlefield. They were both curious and anxious about

knowing first-hand the power of these magic treasures.

The ultimate magical treasure was the most powerful magic treasure in all of the Divine Continent.

Common cultivators had no chance to see it for themselves.

Their hopes were crushed, however, when they reached the battlefield, which used to be a series of mountains with endless

forests.

The ground looked charred due to the ashes that were scattered all over it.

The place was barely recognizable.

Worse, the atmosphere was damp and dark on the entire battlefield. As it turned out, remnants of the three ultimate magical

treasures still lingered there, turning into strong, heavy winds.

Hence, rumors abounded that many cultivators who went deeper into the battlefield got torn into pieces, no thanks to the gale.

Horrified by this, other cultivators no longer dared to explore the battle site.

Another huge and horrific event

happened two days later.

All the members of two East Mainland fourth-class sects—the Shiny Sect and the Spirit Sect—went missing overnight.

No one had any information on their whereabouts.

Even these sects weren't able to escape being the subject of rumors. It was alleged that they were the branches of FlHoly

Land.

Meanwhile, Earth Hermit and Austin were on the run for several days, until they finally got rid of their pursuers.

Earth Hermit transported everyone from the FlHoly Land out of his compass.

This was no ordinary compass, for it had a spacious inner space, similar to Austin's City model that could hold a multitude of

people.

Apart from Austin, there were over three hundred disciples and four stewards from the FlHoly Land.

They were the only survivors from more than a thousand FlHoly Land disciples who got assaulted by people from top sects

and clans. Over seven hundred individuals perished from that ruthless attack.

The four stewards were very discreet and respectful in Earth Hermit's presence because they knew his identity.

None would have the nerve to offend this big shot, not even in the slightest way. After all, he was one of the best cultivators in the

East Mainland.

"Hey, old man, thank you for helping us out,"

Austin told Earth Hermit.

'If he hadn't made it there in time, my companions and | would all be dead, ' Austin thought.

"You're welcome, boy. We're kind of close now.

We stole the coffin together, didn't we?"

Earth Hermit replied, patting Austin's shoulder lightly.

"Oh, con, old man. You make it sound like we're thieves," Austin retorted, frowning.

‘Unbelievable. A remarkable figure in the East Mainland always talks nonsense like this? He doesn't even act like a big shot, ' Austin

thought.

The four stewards and disciples from the FlHoly Land could only stare at Austin and Earth Hermit with their jaws dropping.

They couldn't believe what they were seeing.

'One is a prestigious elder from the East Mainland, while the other is just a boy at the Emperor Realm. How could they speak to

each other like old friends?

The master even patted Austin's shoulder!

This doesn't make sense at all, ' they collectively thought.

"So, what's your plan?

People from those sects and clans are hunting you by now.

If you cback, you'll get caught,"

Earth Hermit told the four stewards.

Steward Nolan quickly stepped forward to get closer to Earth Hermit.

"Sir, Elder Brendan toldto wait for them at the former headquarters of our sect if we got away.

They'll meet us there," he explained.

Word got out that the three elders of the FlHoly Land escaped, though they had sustained serious injuries during their fight

with the top cultivators from other sects.

The news also reached Austin and his companions.

"Are you serious?

It's going to be a long journey to that place. It won't be easy for you to make it there,"

Earth Hermit commented.

"You're right, sir. This is going to be a long and dangerous trip. But we have to do this. We need to meet Elder Brendan and the two

other elders there,"

Steward Nolan responded, firm and confident in his decision.

"Old man, you've already helped us once. How about you help us get to our former headquarters?"

Austin interjected.

'He is hella good. Should he agree to escort us, our safety is guaranteed, ' he thought.

"Alright. I'll take you there for your sake. You're kind of growing onanyway.

Besides, | hate what they did to you. They have no right to get in the way of you rebuilding your sect.

They're after the ultimate magical treasure and the FlScripture, but they absolutely went overboard,"

Earth Hermit said.

The four stewards and disciples from the FlHoly Land couldn't feel more excited.

‘This is amazing. A well-respected and powerful master has recognized our sect, ' they thought.

"Thank you, old man,"

Austin said, sincerity evident in his eyes.

"Tsk. Cut the crap. Let's get going,"

Earth Hermit said back.

He took out his old compass and sent the members of the FlHoly Land, including Austin, inside it.

Then, he headed for the FlHoly Land's former headquarters.

With his strength and caliber, no one could get in his way.

No one was a match for him, except those several top cultivators, in the entire East Mainland.
