The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"Sdemonic skills are very strange and magical. For one, not only can they be used to take another person's body, but they can

also be used to fuse another person's remains. They are really hard to defend yourself against. You were really lucky to have

survived.

However, the demonic energy that you have inside your body is far beyond the amount that the human body can handle. So,

simply put, the demonic energy inside of you may end up harming you one day.

Keep in mind that demonic energy is also a kind of evil energy, and when it accumulates and reaches a certain amount in your

body, it will inevitably invade your Soul Sea and affect your spiritual soul and will.

In the end, you will most likely beca demon who can only think about killing.

But as of now, your spiritual soul and will do not seem to have been invaded by demonic energy just yet.

This, | think, is very strange.

But nevertheless, you should still remember to be careful from now on. | would strongly advise you to rid your body of any demonic

energy, just in case it causing you any unknown damage,"

Godwin remind Austin earnestly.

"Thanks for the warning,"

Austin replied, sincerely grateful for Godwin's well-meaning advice.

"I'll make sure to pay more attention to it."

In hindsight, Austin was already well aware of what Godwin said.

He knew that demonic energy really wasn't suitable for human cultivators.

If there was too much demonic energy in a human cultivator's body, then sooner or later, it would invade his Soul Sea, and affect

his spiritual soul and will. In the long run, the cultivator with demonic energy would likely turn into a demon.

But there was something that Godwin did not know: as a matter of fact, Austin actually had an invaluable treasure in his Soul Sea—

the spiritual tree.

This particular treasure that Austin was in possession of could refine all kinds of energy and transform it into spiritual sense.

Therefore, the reason why Austin was able to store huge amounts of demonic energy without being harmed by it was that the

demonic energy that invaded his Soul Sea had actually been refined by the spiritual tree.

Austin, however, chose to keep the existence of the spiritual tree a secret from Godwin even though he knew that Godwin would

not try to take it away from him out of greed if he found out about its existence in his Soul Sea.

Now that he had gone through countless trials and tribulations, Austin knew better than to tell others all of his secrets.

Upon noticing the calmness that took over Austin's face after he said his piece of advice, Godwin cast a thoughtful glance at Austin

as if he had just gotten an epiphany.

Still, he chose not to say anything. After all, in his old age, he no longer had any interest in probing into the secrets of a younger

generation.

Besides, he had a good opinion of Austin—he truly believed that he was a good young man.

"Well, you can rest here for the following days to come.

You don't seem to have had much practice in the Earth Formula | taught you.

Try to master it. | promise you that its power will not disappoint you.

As for me, | will fix your friends" elixir fields first.

The entire process will take several days,"

Godwin stated.

Upon hearing Godwin's words, Austin excitedly teleported Evan and Herbert out of his City model.

The moment they appeared, Godwin rolled up his sleeves and led Evan and Herbert into one of the huts.

When Godwin finally started repairing the elixir fields for Evan and Herbert, Austin couldn't help but feel both surprised and

expectant.

For the meantime, Master Li warmly entertained Austin and arranged separate huts for him and the queen.

In that moment, Austin also realized that the peak of the mountain was actually a hermitage for Master Li and not for Godwin.

Master Li, on the other hand, seemed to have acknowledged Austin as Godwin's disciple, and was very enthusiastic about having a

co-disciple under Godwin.

In this way, they both shared a teacher.

Meanwhile, Austin was delighted to have such a powerful teacher.

Master Li was so enthused by Austin that he actually asked Austin to call him by his first name, but Austin chose to stick to his

original way of addressing him in order to show his respect.

After Austin had settled in, he did as he was instructed and began to cultivate the Earth Formula that Godwin had taught him for

the next two days.

Even though he had already practiced it in the Heaven Pavilion Sect for a short period of time, due to various reasons and events,

he had no tand energy to continue practicing it.

Austin stood on a flat clearing at the peak of the serene mountain.

There, Austin stood eerily still. So still, in fact, that he seemed to have becone with the ground on which he stood.

As a matter of fact, even his breathing seemed to echo the ground.

In that moment, Austin was actually perceiving the ground beneath his feet through his spiritual sense. After a while, even his mind

and will began to merge into the ground and spread out.

Insignificant and boring as this step may seem, Austin had to take this very seriously as it was actually the most important and

fundamental step in cultivating the Earth Formula—perceiving the power of the earth.

Little by little, Austin's spiritual sense, will, and mind becfully integrated into the earth.

And he cto feel a one of a kind energy within the earth.

The special energy was sometimes invisible, and sometimes it condensed into an earthy yellow haze.

According to the Earth Formula, this special energy was called the Earth Energy.

Almost every inch of land actually contained varying amounts of Earth Energy.

Additionally, in each piece of land, the existence, distribution, and movement of the Earth Energy had a fixed law.

This energy was the flow of the earth!

But in order to practice the Earth Formula, cultivators should first understand the flow of the earth.

This was exactly what Austin was doing. In that moment, he was actually immersed in feeling the flow of the earth as far as tens of

thousands of meters around him.

He was so focused on what he was doing that before he knew it, he had already been practicing for two hours, then four hours,

then six hours...

Austin stood so motionless on the peak of the mountain that it seemed as though he had been petrified.

After a while, Austin becaware of the distribution of the flow of the Earth Energy in the surrounding land.

In what seemed like no tat all, the day soon passed without Austin noticing it.

Finally, after many, many hours of practicing, Austin had a rough grasp of the flow of the earth around him.

Now that he was done with the first step, the next step was for Austin to try to cultivate the Energy-controlling Skill.

The Energy-controlling Skill was a method of driving the Earth Energy to form an attack.

More specifically, it was a way of taking advantage of the Earth Energy in the ground in order to attack enemies.

After several hours of standing still, Austin launched the Demonic Teleportation Skill and instantly left the peak of the mountain to

go to a nearby plain.

Austin made sure to be far away from anything he could wreck because the practice of the Energy-controlling Skill was sure to

cause damage to the surrounding environment.

And since the peak of the mountain was Master Li's retreat, Austin wouldn't dare destroy it, so he moved to another place to

practice.

When he landed on the plain, Austin first unleashed his spiritual sense on the plain to perceive the new land he was standing on

now.

After a moment, his hands fluttered as he performed various skills and quickly walked forward with strange footwork.

As he moved forward, Austin hit the ground with several different kinds of skills.

He didn't stop until he had already walked a kilometer.

Then, he turned around and looked at the path he had just taken.

"Blast!"

Austin shouted, stomping his foot.

Boom! Boom! All of a sudden, there was a loud rumbling sound.

And waves of earthy yellow energy, each as thick as an arm, burst from the ground that Austin had just walked past.

With that, innumerable deep holes appeared on the ground behind him.

"Wow, the Energy-controlling Skill truly is amazing!"

Austin couldn't help but marvel at what he saw.

"This can definitely help a warrior easily defeat the enemy if used as a surprise attack.

Unfortunately, | am still too weak, so the power of the Earth Energy that | am able to drive is still too small," Austin said in dismay.

It was very clear that he was not satisfied with his current level—he truly wanted to achieve so much more.

So, he continued to practice the Energy-controlling Skill on the plain relentlessly.

After just a day, the plain was unrecognizable. What once was a flat clearing was now a mess, and not an inch of it was free of

potholes.
