Austin began practicing the level-one arrays that Fanny's grandpa had planted in his Soul Sea.
Within the next day, he had already mastered all the five of them.
He then went back to practicing the Earth-shaping Formula again.
Standing on the hillside, Austin activated his spiritual sense and closed his eyes. Following the procedure of the Earth-shaping
Formula, he began his meditation and tried to feel the natural energy from rivers, mountains, and beneath the earth.
A few minutes later, he started to feel himself gradually immersing into the natural energy around him, as if Mother Nature was
pulling him into her warm embrace.
He could even feel the pulse of the earth like it had a beating heart, the steady thumps surprising him.
He slowed down his breath, trying to keep a ssteady beat as the earth.
It was a marvelous feeling.
A smile crept over the corner of his lips. Finally, he made an obvious progress in practicing the Earth-shaping Formula.
Although the nature energy he could feel from the earth was faint and weak, Austin still felt wild with joy. He was completely
certain that as long as he persisted on practicing, he would be able to master the Earth-shaping Formula in no time.
"Master! A great number of strong cultivators are currently rushing towards the Heaven Pavilion Sect!"
Austin was still immersed in the ecstasy and the fantastic high he felt while practicing the Earth-shaping Formula, when he
suddenly got a message from the Sect Supremo through the spiritual sense.
"Oh? Is it the Heaven Palace again?"
Austin stopped his meditation and opened his eyes.
He then jumped and flew into the air, heading towards the direction where the uninvited guests were coming from. His spiritual
sense told him that his enemies were rushing to the gate outside the mountains.
"Tell our members to hide themselves well. Call for sstrong cultivators and cwith me. It won't be a big deal at all. We
don't need many people,"
Austin responded to the Sect Supremo through the spiritual sense.
A few moments later, he and forty other Astral Realm cultivators positioned themselves in front of the gate.
When they looked up, they saw more than a thousand cultivators flying in the sky.
There were ten Tribulation Realm cultivators in the front line.

Austin activated his spiritual sense
and found out that there were two at the premium stage of Tribulation Realm among those ten. Three of them were at the medium
stage of Tribulation Realm, and the other five were at the preliminary stage of Tribulation Realm.
Behind the ten Tribulation Realm cultivators, there were around one hundred and fifty Astral Realm cultivators and around seven
hundred Master Realm cultivators, and behind them followed more than a thousand Imperial Realm cultivators.
Such a team was incredibly strong and intimidating in the usual case.
It would be as easy as blinking an eye for the team to destroy the whole Heaven Pavilion Sect.
"Ha-ha, wow! Looks like the Heaven Palace really wants us dead, huh?"
Austin sneered as he saw the strong team.
In a few short moments, the team from the Heaven Palace arrived in front of the gate.
"Stop!"
A cultivator in a light yellow robe, who was at the premium stage of Tribulation Realm, waved his hand at his teammates behind
him.
The others stopped at once.
The Tribulation Realm cultivator in the light yellow robe stared at Austin, activating his spiritual sense to feel Austin's cultivation
base.
"You are only at the preliminary stage of Astral Realm... How interesting,"
he said, brows knitting together.
Based on where Austin stood, he could immediately tell that Austin was the leader of the Heaven Pavilion Sect.
As a wise and observant man, the Tribulation Realm cultivator noted that there was probably something special about Austin which
made him deserving to be the leader of the Heaven Pavilion Sect even though his cultivation base was only at the preliminary
stage of Astral Realm.
"The last twe sent more than a thousand of our members to the Heaven Pavilion Sect, none of them returned to the Heaven
Palace. Where are they? Spill it!"
the Tribulation Realm cultivator demanded, anger burning in his eyes as he glowered at Austin.
"Ha-ha! Those reckless people have all been killed! That is the price they paid for bursting into the Heaven Pavilion Sect,"
Austin answered coldly, his hands clasped behind his back.
"What?!
How dare you!
You made a huge mistake when you refused to surrender yourselves. And now, you go about killing our men! Absolutely ludicrous!"
Rage roiled in the ten Tribulation Realm cultivators’ chests as they heard Austin's statement.
Although they had already guessed as much before they arrived, they still couldn't figure out how the Heaven Pavilion Sect killed
more than a thousand cultivators of the Heaven Palace.
The Heaven Palace knew the Heaven Pavilion Sect extremely well. They knew that they only had the Sect Supremo who had
reached the preliminary stage of Tribulation Realm and about thirty Astral Realm cultivators.
Logically, the Heaven Pavilion Sect wouldn't even compare with the Heaven Palace let alone stand against them. They only needed
two to three Tribulation Realm cultivators to destroy such a weak sect.
But on the contrary, the three Tribulation Realm cultivators with more than a thousand experienced disciples of the Heaven Palace
had all disappeared after they went to the Heaven Pavilion Sect.
So this taround, the Heaven Palace sent ten Tribulation Realm cultivators.
"Such a small sect like the Heaven Pavilion Sect had the nerve to kill our members. Well done, you fools. Your recklessness will only
earn you death!
All of you are going to be dead meat today!"
the Tribulation Realm cultivator in the light yellow robe furiously yelled, the strong killing intent flooding his eyes as he stared
daggers at Austin.
"Ha-ha! You're makinglaugh! The captain of your members said very similar words last time, but he still died here,"
Austin responded as he looked at the Tribulation Realm cultivator, the killing intent also visible in his eyes.
"Hum! You are only a cultivator at the preliminary stage of Astral Realm. | can even kill you at this every moment!"
Austin's words infuriated the Tribulation Realm cultivator to the core.
No Astral Realm cultivator dared to go against him, they all remained submissive like a puppy.
He had never met an Astral Realm cultivator like Austin who would act so arrogant in front of him.
The Tribulation Realm cultivator activated his spiritual sense at once.
The next second, a forceful attack from his spiritual sense made its way towards Austin.
Swoosh!
A blade suddenly cinto Austin's Soul Sea. The blade was formed by the cultivator's spiritual sense, which was a spiritual sense
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmartial arts skill.
But Austin found that the spiritual sense of the blade was weaker than his.
He then immediately summoned twenty Spiritual Sense Flying Spears.
However, just as he was targeting the blade, the spiritual tree in his Soul Sea shook, dozens of leaves falling. In a spilt second, the
blade had been surrounded by the fallen leaves.
With perfect arcs in the air, the leaves tore the blade apart and turned it into pieces of spiritual sense energy.
The spiritual tree's roots extended out and absorbed them.
Austin was surprised by what he witnessed. He had never expected that the spiritual tree had such a skill.
Now, no more spiritual sense martial arts skills would be able to attack him.
"What?!"
The Tribulation Realm cultivator was so dumbstruck with amazement that he could not help but take a step back.
The blade attack from his spiritual sense was not able to harm Austin and got absorbed instead. As a result, Austin now had a part
of his spiritual sense energy.
"lI don't want to hear any more nonsense now.
Remember! Death is the only result in attempting to get into the headquarters Heaven Pavilion Sect without permission,"
Austin coldly stated.
He waved at his servants, gesturing for them to cback in with him.
"That arrogant brat!"
The Heaven Palace's members were all filled with indignation.
"Sir, what are you waiting for? Let's go in there and kill them all!"
one of them furiously cried out once Austin and his servants left. The others all roared in agreement.
"Calm down, everyone! | suspect that there are arrays around here. We'd better be careful not to trigger any of them.
Just wait for Master Bert's orders and be careful about your every step.
With the help of Master Bert, we will one hundred percent win against the Heaven Pavilion Sect. They are so screwed this time!"
the Tribulation Realm cultivator in the light yellow robe advised his teammates.
When the Heaven Palace noticed that none of their men were able to cback from the Heaven Pavilion Sect, he had
immediately suspected that it might be because of spowerful arrays deployed around the headquarters. So he brought an
array expert with them, Master Bert, for that purpose.
