"Hello, Zoe!"
Austin tried to give Zoe a bright smile. He knew that she was a sensitive girl.
"You've really made rapid progress in your cultivation base, Holy Son. It's really surprising!"
She walked up to Austin and looked at him from head to toe with admiration.
"Ha ha! I'm really flattered.
Please callAustin as you did before. I'm used to it."
Austin said with a smile on his face.
"Well, I'll call you whatever you'd liketo."
Zoe rolled her eyes as she looked at Austin and nodded her head gently.
"What?"
Austin suddenly felt that Zoe's attitude towards him was a bit out of line.
Austin was at a loss for words seeing her behave in this peculiar manner.
It was weird, especially the way Zoe was looking at him gently and a queer tenderness in her eyes.
The fact was that she was a pure and introvert girl. And now she was standing in front of her idol.
It was true that among all the disciples of the FlHoly Land, Austin was a smart man who was the best in the performance of
any skill and attracted a lot of attention.
For a young and pure girl like Zoe, who was desirous of falling in love, it was easy to get infatuated with a hero like Austin.
"Ahem!" Rahul pretended to cough. "Austin, | suddenly remember that | have to do something. I've got to go!"
Rahul was there too and he was not a fool. He understood very well that the atmosphere before him was getting a bit strange.
The way Zoe looked at Austin, it was clear to him that there was something brewing. He didn't want to stay and intrude in their
private moments.
So, he said something to the two of them, made an excuse and left.
"Zoe, you are not bad either. You have reached the premium stage of Bitter Sea Realm,"
Austin quickly spoke as he tried to change the topic.
Indeed, Zoe had reached the premium stage of Bitter Sea Realm.
A few years ago, she was at the Semi-emperor Realm, but the speed of her breakthrough was quite amazing.
"Yes! As you can see, | have made great progress. But that happened after cultivating the FlScripture of our FlHoly Land.
I'm thankful to you for it. As a matter of fact, you are the reason why we have got the opportunity to cultivate the FlScripture.
| guess all this progress is because of you!"
Zoe said gently.
She was a young, shy and pure girl. She was quite attractive too.
Blessed with a graceful figure, she looked quite a beauty. Her black hair always kept dancing in the air, and there was a shiny gloss
on her forehead. She had curved eyebrows. Her eyes would keep shining, and her jawline was a bit sharp.
Standing in front of Austin, she looked like an enchanting fairy. With a lovely fresh complexion, she looked beautiful and refined.
"Ha ha! You are joking or being too kind to me. All of this is because of your own talent and hard work in cultivation,"
Austin said with a smile.

"By the way, | wanted to ask you something. When | encounter any difficulty in my future cultivation, can | ask you for advice?"
Zoe suddenly asked. Her tone was gentle and showed that she expected a positive answer from Austin. There was a softness in her
eyes.
"Sure!"
Austin nodded.
Although Austin knew that it was just an excuse for her to get closer to him, he couldn't refuse it.
Moreover, it was not like Austin hated or disliked Zoe. She was beautiful and talented — a rare combination of beauty and brains.
And upon that, Austin was the Holy Heritor of the FlHoly Land. It was his responsibility to guide and mentor the disciples to
cultivate and reach higher.
"Great!
I'll cto see you as often as | can."
Seeing Austin nod in agreement, Zoe was very happy. After that, her attitude seemed to becmore natural and pleasant.
"So, can | still call you Austin?"
He could see the love and gentleness in Zoe's eyes. Her soft, pleasant voice echoed in his ears. He couldn't fluster her up with any
foolishness.
"You're right. Just callAustin."
He nodded his head and smiled.
"You are so kind, Austin.
I'm so glad | got to meet you.
| better go now and help the others. Everybody is busy cleaning up the old palaces and new residential areas these days,"
Zoe said cheerfully.
"Okay. Go ahead with your work then."
Austin nodded his head and watched her go.
Zoe left happily.
"Well, it seems that this little beauty certainly has a crush on you. And she seems to have ssoft corner for you!
If you ask me, she is a top-level beauty. Why don't you find an opportunity to sleep with her directly? I'm sure she won't deny you."
As soon as she left, the FlEmperor jumped in to tease Austin and have fun. His voice rang in Austin's Soul Sea.
"FlEmperor, you must have been a lewd lecher before your death. You always seem to be interested in hitting on beautiful
women,"
Austin answered, raising his eyebrows.
"Listen, are you a man or not?
Don't you have any interest in these beautiful women?
Tellthe truth, boy. Is there sother issue? Do you have a sexual orientation problem? | mean, you aren't gay, are you?
Damn it! Listen boy, | am a totally straight man! You are not interested in me, right?
Oh no! If that's true, it is very dangerous forto go on living in your Soul Sea!"
said the FlEmperor, pretending to be angry and concerned.
"Oh no! That's total bullshit!
Who said | have a sexual orientation problem? No, | am straight! Completely straight.
Of course, | love beautiful women. But | already had two fiancees, and there's Caroline.
If I hit on other beauties, I'm afraid that my beloved girls will not letclimb onto their beds any longer!"
Austin reasoned out.
"Hmm! You are really too conservative!
In the Divine Continent, all the powerful cultivators, who have their own kingdoms, maintain large harems of concubines.
At one teven | had hundreds of concubines!"
said the FlEmperor.
"What? Hundreds of concubines?
How ridiculous!
Damn it! FlEmperor, are you bragging in front ofto tease me?
Lettell you, I'm not fooled easily."
Austin was taken aback by the FlEmperor's revelation.
"lI don't have to lie to you.
To tell you the truth, being at my previous position in the Divine Continent, if | wanted thousands of concubines, it was a piece of
cake too. Having hundreds wasn't a problem at all!"
the flemperor said with anger.
"Really? What was your status in the Divine Continent in the past?
Though you were only at the Emperor Realm when you were alive, it looks like you have lived a good life in the Divine Continent!"
Austin was curious to know more.
"Who told you that when | was in the Divine Continent, | was at the Emperor Realm?
Did | ever say that?
The fact was that | was seriously injured and fled to the PrMartial World. That's why my cultivation base fell to the Emperor
Realm.
And FlEmperor is just my title in the PrMartial World.
When | was in the Divine Continent, | had reached a much higher level than the Emperor Realm,"
the FlEmperor said, reflecting upon his past.
So that was the reason!
Austin understood now. But after thinking it over, he realized that the FlEmperor had not yet told him about his real cultivation
base level when he was in the Divine Continent.
And now he cto know that the title of the FlEmperor was given to him by the cultivators in the PrMartial World.
He also told Austin that when he cto the PrMartial World, he spent all his tjust hanging out here and there, before his
injuries becmore serious.

Then, he entered the Mysterious Nether World. And there he sealed himself in the third floor of the Emperor Library.
"So what was your cultivation base level on the Divine Continent, in the past?"
Austin asked curiously.
"The premium stage of Major-perfection Realm!"
the FlEmperor blurted out.
"Wow!"
Austin gasped in surprise and awe.
He had never expected the FlEmperor to be so powerful in the Divine Continent. He was astonished.
A cultivator who was at the premium stage of Major-perfection Realm was considered to be stronger than the stewards in the holy
lands.
That cultivator would probably be equivalent to the ordinary elders of the holy lands.
In the past, Austin had thought that the FlEmperor was at the Emperor Realm, and that he might be of little importance in the
Divine Continent.
"Wow! That means you used to be a great master."
Austin was a little shocked to know about the FlEmperor.
"Of course! What do you think? That only you are a master?"
the FlEmperor spoke proudly.
"By the way, FlEmperor, please tellabout your previous identity and experience in the Divine Continent."
Austin requested as he wanted to know more about him and the Divine Continent.
"I'll surely talk to you, lad. I'll tell you everything in detail but only when the FlHoly Land is successfully rebuilt.
At that time, | also need you to avenge me,"
The FlEmperor demanded through gritted teeth.
"Okay. I'll do my best."
Austin nodded and tried to assure him.
There were two main purposes that he cto the Divine Continent with the FlEmperor. One was to help him rebuild his body
and the other was to help him avenge his death.
Austin would never forget it. He was not going to let him down.
Two days passed by quickly.
It was the third day, and Austin was sitting cross-legged in his secret cultivation room.
"Austin, | have sgood news. The Sect-protecting Array has been successfully repaired!"
Suddenly, Austin received the spiritual sense message sent by Elder Brendan.
"Really?"
Austin jumped with joy on hearing the news.
The Sect-protecting Array of the former headquarters of the FlHoly Land was finally repaired! That was just what he wanted.
