Jimmy and Kimberley felt much better after taking the elixir that Austin had generously presented as a gift. It was a precious sixth
level elixir. The lucky brother and sister expressed their gratitude after taking the medicine obediently. Then they immediately sat
down on the ground and directed the elixir energy through concentration to those part of the body which were severely injured. A
little while later, they were able to recover from the fatal wounds and got rid of all their suffering.
When both of them seemed stable, they made a move. The three of them fled the small island and flew in the direction which
Jimmy identified as the Sand Island.
Jimmy and Kimberley were young, so was Austin. Therefore, the awkwardness and silence prevailing earlier among them vanished
soon after they began the second half of their journey.
They had casual conversations every now and then. The boys, Jimmy and Austin, did most of the talking while Kimberley jumped in
the discussion tto time. They were on good terms with each other.
In the course of the conversation, Austin learned something more about his two new friends.
He cto know that Jimmy and Kimberley were not only siblings, but they were also members of the younger generation of the
famous Jin Family in the Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom. What a big surprise!
The Jin Family had held highly respectable positions in the Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom for generations. It was a revered, and
sometimes regarded as an intimidating old name.
This tthere were rumors that the residence of a mysterious ancient master was going to emerge in the Middle World Waters. A
lot of strong, rising families had taken effective measures to hunt for legendary treasures. The Jin Family was one of them. Rumor
also made rounds that the elders of the Jin Family had led a group of elite disciples and were hurrying on their way to the Middle
World Waters.

Jimmy and Kimberley told Austin how they were separated from the other family members several days ago and met with an
accident. Before Austin made an inquiry, they confessed that they were with five other family disciples. And in fact, they were out
on a mission to hunt sea beasts. Their elders had ordered them to retrieve as many beast cores as possible. But due to their pitiful
looks and energy, apparently they failed in the task.
Austin didn't comment, and Jimmy continued to tell him more. Right before Austin had showed up, the small team ran into a fierce
sea beast. The sea beast looked suspiciously like a beast master and the young disciples were all shocked. The seven of them tried
hard to defend its attack for a while but couldn't avoid the brutal defeat shortly afterwards. Five Jin Family disciples were killed in
the battle. Jimmy and Kimberley were the only ones who escaped by the skin of their teeth. Kimberley began to weep when Jimmy
talked about the tragic that had struck them. Jimmy too stopped as he began to choke with emotions, like something was caught in
his throat.
Austin sighed. He felt bad for Jimmy and Kimberley and those who had passed away. The two of them were lucky to have survived
such a brutal attack. Yet, they were unlucky to have witnessed the horrible death of their own blood.
Jimmy and Kimberley wanted to return to the family base in the Middle World Waters.
But before they could set out on their journey, a jade slip came. The jade slip was from a prestigious family elder, who was in-
charge of the entire mission.
The elder sent a message through the jade slip that the residence of the ancient master had already emerged from under the
water. And the Jin Family demanded the presence of all its disciples at the Sand Island. They were going to be prepared and ready
in the region until they could get inside.
Austin didn't utter a word.
As far as he knew, the Sand Island was located somewhere between the Second Outer Ring waters and the First Outer Ring waters.
As a matter of fact, not much distance was left.
They could have reached the Sand Island in almost an hour, if they could catch up with Austin's speed.
But Jimmy and Kimberley were slow. Austin had to control his impatience and temper to accompany them as they kept flying
slowly. He did not want anybody to see his eagerness, not even his new friends.
Besides, he felt that he couldn't fail them when they needed him the most. Jimmy and Kimberley were weak. It was easy for them
to get in danger if they kept flying alone above the boundless sea.
They could face trouble anytime, like the beast master which jumped out of the water a few moments ago or when they came
across the tenth level sea beast a little while ago. Austin had been able to realize that Jimmy and Kimberley were not able to deal
with either of those fierce creatures.
Jimmy was simple and honest while Kimberley was gentle and refined. They impressed Austin with their good personalities. That
was the reason why he couldn't think of abandoning them.
So, he stayed with them. And however it angered him, slowly they advanced forward.
Fortunately, after flying for nearly a dozen or so tedious hours, they finally cto their destination.
"Austin! Look! It is the Sand Island! We've arrived!" Jimmy shouted with excitement.
Jimmy and Kimberley both jumped with joy, like innocent children who had won something.
Looking from afar, at the horizon where the water met the vast blue sky, a very large island appeared in front of them.
The island was extremely large, with a total area of about 50, 000 to 60, 000 square meters.

The wide island were dotted with mountains, rivers and grasslands. The flowers grew abundantly on the ground. Hills were clothed
with wild vegetation. The air was filled with the sweet scent of flowers.
There were also several small cities and towns on the island. Scattered around them, there were many peaceful villages adding to
the picturesque beauty of the island.
It was rare to encounter such a wide island in the middle of the sea. It made Austin feel better to see land after seeing boundless
blue water all along the way.
The island also attracted a variety of wading birds, such as herons and egrets. There were many cheerful songbirds too hovering in
the sky or strolling around. Looking around, Austin felt that not all islands were created equally. The beauty of the Sand Island was
far greater than what he had seen till now and it was defined by its luxuriant jungles and velvety peaks.
But it was not only the vast territory, plentiful birds, or scenic beauty that made this island so unique. There was more to it!
It was a huge palace that towered above the peak and was floating in the sky. Magnificent rays of glittering light beamed from the
palace. Auspicious clouds gathered around it and served as its support. Incomparable spiritual energy enveloped the majestic
building and the upturned eaves appeared distinctly.
The huge palace stood in the void. The two bronze gates that were hundreds of meters high were closed.
The steps that led to the gates were made of pure white jade and the handrails were made of gold. On the plaque hanging high in
front of it was inscribed the nof the palace, Aigrette Palace.
‘Isn't it the legendary residence of the ancient master? How marvelous! The building itself is an artistic treasure of supernatural
workmanship, *
Austin thought as he looked with awe at the magnificent grand palace suspended in the sky. He could not help but admire the
palace for its beauty and extravagance.
