Austin nodded at the people of the Deep Sea Commercial House and Ward's subordinates to encourage them that he wasn't
playing games or setting a trap. Sof them stood with their mouths open while others exchanged worried looks. However, after
a few minutes had passed and nothing bad had happened, a couple of them walked towards the stone ladders and began to climb.
The others saw them getting to safety and didn't hesitate before turning and scrambling for the rungs of the ladders.
Watching them ascend, Austin felt pride and power sweep through him. There was nothing he liked more than helping people that
deserved it, except hurting people that had done obvious wrong. His eyes swept the area and he spotted a team of the fire crow
race.
He rushed over to them and did the sthing. They were less hesitant than the others had been and allowed Austin to help them
up the stone ladders before everyone else.
As he looked over his shoulder, Austin saw the people of the beast race from the East Mainland a few feet away. Their eyes were
focused on
the people of the Rudimentary Holy Land, one of the three holy lands in the East Mainland, who were approaching them with
weapons drawn.
Behind them was a stone ladder and it didn't take long for Austin to realize what was about to happen. Before he could yell at
them, a fight had broken out. Yells and cries echoed through the air, but Austin's attention was pulled elsewhere.
"Will Fang?"
What had been the back of a man's head turned around and Austin's jaw dropped. Will Fang was standing in front of him and he
was the last person Austin had expected to find here.
Many years ago, Will went undercover and snuck into the base of the FlHoly Land. He used his disguise to gain the people's
trust and finally beca disciple of the holy land.
All of this had been a ploy to learn the secrets and routines of the base of the FlHoly Land.
Once he had his information, he called upon the troops of the seven sects and they attacked the base of the FlHoly Land.
The base was eventually destroyed, and more than half of the disciples were killed.
Ever since then, Austin had wanted to destroy Will Fang.
Austin had never forgotten the anger that had rushed through his veins when he learned what Will had done.
He had been searching for Will for a long twith no luck.
Will was smart and knew that the people of the FlHoly Land would want revenge.
So, for the past few years, he had been hiding in the base of the Rudimentary Holy Land and he had been cultivating in seclusion.
He had prevented Austin from finding him and he had escaped his punishment.
Or so he had thought. Unfortunately, he had decided to follow the people of the Rudimentary Holy Land into the Heavenly
Immortal World and that had been a grave mistake.

Now Austin had found him and would stop at nothing to take him down.
Feeling his blood race in his veins, Austin began running towards Will. Several people stood in between them but that didn't worry
him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He leaped into the air and lifted his foot. In seconds, it had grown into the size of a dragon. As he landed, he stomped his foot.
The people of the Rudimentary Holy Land had been busy fighting people from the other sects and hadn't expected a gigantic foot
to appear in the air and step on them.
Therefore, a lot of them were crushed into piles of blood and guts. The people around them yelled out in disgust and stopped their
fighting to look at Austin.
"Hey! Why are you attacking the Rudimentary Holy Land? What did we ever do to you?"
a cultivator at the Major-perfection Realm from the Rudimentary Holy Land shouted angrily. He was the leader of this team and was
responsible for their lives.
"Hmm...no reason. | just don't like you!"
Austin said calmly as he continued to float in the air above their heads.
Then, without another word, he stomped his foot again.
"Run!"
the team leader of the Rudimentary Holy Land yelled. He had no choice but to avoid a fight with Austin.
He, along with the rest of the sect, had seen how easily Austin had killed the team of the Ji Clan and the people of the Western
Sect.
The team leader of the Rudimentary Holy Land knew that his team was unable to defeat Austin. They would all be killed if they
fought back.
So, they scattered like spilled marbles all over the area.
Among them was Will and he was also frightened by what had happened.
However, only seconds later, a huge palm dived from the sky and grabbed for Will. He ducked out of the way, narrowly avoiding
the burning flames that were surrounding it.
Will screamed and pushed his legs to run faster, but his attempts were futile. The palm fell in front of him and blocked his path,
scooping him up and lifting him into the air.
Will had been at the Divine Bridge Realm before, and now he had broken through to the Minor-perfection Realm;
however, it didn't matter how hard he struggled. The giant palm was too strong and he couldn't do anything to deter it.
"Will"
the team leader of the Rudimentary Holy Land called up to him. His face was brimming with concern.
Will was a personal disciple of a reclusive elder of the Rudimentary Holy Land and was deeply loved.
Before this mission, the reclusive elder had told the team leader to take good care of Will.
They couldn't risk letting him down.
"Please, we won't cafter you. Just let that man go,"
the team leader of the Rudimentary Holy Land begged.
"Get out of my face, or you will die too!"
Austin yelled back, frowning down at them.
Without waiting, he stomped his giant foot down on them again.
Boom!
The team leader of the Rudimentary Holy Land was taken aback.
He leaped out of the way of the kick and ran off.
"Now, all of you climb the ladder. Don't waste any there,"
Austin said to the team of the beast race from the East Mainland.
"What? Really?"
They had been expecting Austin to want to kill them as well, but Austin actually told them to keep going.
Smiles immediately spread on their faces and they made a beeline for the stone ladders.
"Thank you for your help, sir. We will never forget your kindness!"
Edward of the beast race said to Austin before he ascended the ladder.
Austin snickered in his mind. Edward held a grudge against him because of the Peacock Princess. If Edward knew that the man he
was calling "sir" was actually Austin, he would have tried to fight him, not thanked him.
After he had dealt with the beast race, Austin sealed Will's power and transferred him into the Slave Tower with a snap.
"If you don't want to die, back off!"

Austin reminded the people of the Rudimentary Holy Land.
"Let's go!"
Without wasting any time, the team leader led his team away from Austin's reach and out of sight.
Once he had removed his enemies from the equation, Austin turned and laid eyes on the people of the Han Clan, one of the three
prominent clans in the East Mainland.
The Han Clan was also an ally of the FlHoly Land.
So, Austin went over to help those people from the Han Clan.
Austin felt quite satisfied with his progress. So far, only the people of the FlHoly Land, the Deep Sea Commercial House,
Ward's team, the fire crow race, the beast race from the East Mainland, and the Han Clan had made it up the ladders.
"On the Divine Continent, excluding the Middle Pilgrim Land, the cultivators from the other four regions are too weak.
It seems that the Middle Pilgrim Land is confirmed to be the center of the Divine Continent and the most prosperous place for the
cultivation of martial arts.
The other four regions are nothing compared to it,"
Austin said to himself, sighing. They were too weak to do most things on their own, so he was required to help them.
With his strength, it was simple to defeat cultivators below the Major-perfection Realm from the four regions by himself.
However, an elite disciple of any ancient sect in the Middle Pilgrim Land could rival him.
As he mulled it over, Austin shook his head and felt hopeless.
But his sorrow didn't last long. As he looked up the stone ladders, he noticed the middle one.
And it led to the golden mountain.
Above him were nine mountains: eight purple ones and one golden one. Just looking at them, he determined that the golden one
held the most valuable treasures.
Up until now, the golden mountain was filled with disciples of the ancient sects from the Middle Pilgrim Land and the cultivators
from the other four regions were not allowed to go in.
"You know what? | can climb the golden mountain and battle the people from the Middle Pilgrim Land, acquiring all the treasures
for myself,"
Austin sneered, frowning at the middle ladder.
Without any further thought, he began climbing the ladder.
