Austin felt as if his body was expanding indefinitely.
The flow of vital energy from the elixir essence in his body began to circulate, and it felt as if it was constantly widening his every
energy meridian.
Under the drive of the Fire Stela, the Golden Sun Scripture was running automatically!
It was a new experience for Austin.
Feeling the changes in his body, Austin was a little shocked.
However, he vaguely guessed that the change in his body was due to the fact that the Fire Stela was refining the five dragons
transformed by the essence of waste elixirs.
After an hour, Austin sensed a precursor to a breakthrough.
A moment later... Boom! Boom! Boom!
He had reached the medium stage of Imperial Realm!
Austin was overjoyed.
He hadn't expected that he would make a breakthrough again in such a short time.
But cto think of it, the breakthrough was bound to happen, and it was just a matter of when it would happen.
After all, the five dragons were the products of the essence of countless waste elixirs that had accumulated in the Abandoned Elixir
Cellar for over hundreds of years.
They contained an amazing amount of energy, making it easy for Austin's cultivation base to rapidly improve from the preliminary
stage of Imperial Realm to the medium stage of Imperial Realm.
After breaking through to the medium stage of Imperial Realm, Austin realized that the speed of the Golden Sun Scripture within
his body had begun to slow down.
It gradually returned to its normal operating speed.
Austin knew that the breakthrough and vital energy upgrade could not be rushed and should not happen too fast.
Otherwise, his vital energy would becsuperficial and his foundation would be unstable.
So Austin decided to stop practicing.
At that moment, the Fire Stela had only extracted and purified less than one ten-thousandth of the five dragons' energy, and it had
already raised him to a higher stage.
Austin, therefore, expected that he would be able to make rapid progress in cultivating the Golden Sun Scripture.
Austin started practicing his swordsmanship which had significantly improved.
His swordsmanship was at level four sword potential.
Once he was able to reach level five sword potential, he could practice the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship, the first set of three sets
of swordsmanship in the statue of the Sword Emperor left by the Sword Emperor.
The swordsmanship left by a Sword Emperor was definitely extraordinary.

Before, when he was in the Violet Orchid Empire, Austin thought that the grade seven martial skill was remarkable and quite
advanced.
However, after arriving at the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, he realized that it was not a ty as he had earlier assumed.
Many of the principle disciples in big sects had grade seven martial skills.
Of course, the martial skills practiced by the disciples at the slevel as the Holy Sons in big sects were much better than the
grade seven martial skills.
When he saw Isis perform the Phoenix Secret Skill, Austin was shocked.
He knew that the Phoenix Secret Skill was far superior as compared to any of the grade seven martial skills he practiced.
Besides, the attacking power of the array that was formed by the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch together, far
exceeded the resistance of his grade seven martial skills.
So Austin urgently needed to develop smore advanced martial skills and the three sets of swordsmanship left by the Sword
Emperor were undoubtedly the best choice. . . .
Afterwards, Austin began to be immersed in comprehending the swordsmanship.
The Sword Emperor's comprehension of swordsmanship repeatedly emerged in Austin's Soul Sea.
Sessence of swordsmanship gave Austin an insight inherited from the previous owner.
The Sword Emperor had practiced sword all his life, so his comprehension of swordsmanship was amazing and he left behind traces
of his expertise and experience.
As his understanding of swordsmanship deepened, Austin's body gradually released numerous small and sharp sword auras.
Austin felt as if he was deep in the sea, surrounded by fishes constantly circling and dancing around him.
With the progress, Austin was making in the swordsmanship, his understanding of the sword intent gradually accumulated in his
soul.
The sword intent generated invisible power, which pressed and cut the air around Austin, causing the air to twist and ripple.
Then one day passed...
Two days passed and after intense meditation...
Austin suddenly opened his eyes!
The sword sent out soaring auras!
Austin held the sword although he remained motionless
However, numerous rays of fierce sword potential went up to the sky with an overwhelming momentum!
It looked like the invisible tide was rolling!
Splash!
Splash! Splash!
The air like water jetted out in all directions from the place where the sword aura passed, creating a vacuum!
Two strands of razor-sharp breath violently burst out of Austin's eyes!
Austin's eyes seemed to turn a pale shade of gold, looking wild and fierce. The sword potential circulated around him while the
sword-light flooded out of the sword.
At that moment, Austin possessed an invincible, unparalleled momentum.
The next moment, Austin moved, flying towards the clouds!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sword-light made a curtain as Austin brandished the sword, the light flickered like the stars in the night.
As Austin swung the sword faster and faster, his sword seemed to disappear.
The sword-light flashed, accompanied by the sound of rocketing wind due to its speed!
Then suddenly only the sword-light could be seen, while the sword seemed invisible!
The sword looked as it was no longer in Austin's hand, but had melted and infused into his flesh and soul!
The sword was a part of him, and he was part of the sword. He and the sword were one and the same, basically inseparable!
Then the third day passed...
The fourth day passed...
Austin spent two days and two nights in a row practicing on the sword, never stopping for a moment. He was tireless.
Suddenly, he let out a roar and struck out the sword!
Swish...
A blast of sword aura went out swiftly!
The sword aura was extremely domineering, like a river running down with tremendous momentum faster than the speed of
sound!
It broke the air as easy as to break the grass!
"Boom!"
The sword aura hit a small two-story building just off the street.
With a loud bang, the small building was cut into two from the middle!
As he hit the sword aura out, Austin felt a sense of impending bliss in his soul!
The feeling of delight swept over him making him feel like a chick breaking out of its shell!
That was the level five sword potential!
After several days of practice and figuring out how it worked, Austin's swordsmanship had finally reached level five sword
potential!
He could finally practice the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship left by the Sword Emperor!. . .
Austin put his sword away, sat cross-legged again and took out the statue of the Sword Emperor.
He sent forth the level five sword potential from his soul and spread it out towards the statue.

Suddenly, the statue of the Sword Emperor responded.
Whish! Whish!
A sword aura burst from the statue into Austin's Soul Sea.
Then, a sword manual slowly emerged in his Soul Sea.
This swordsmanship was the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship!
Austin patiently read the manual of the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship in his Soul Sea.
He found that the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship paid more attention to momentum rather than moves.
There was danger in the practice of the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship, for he must first understand the intent of lightning.
According to the sword manual, it would be better to practice the swordsmanship when lightning struck.
That was to say, he had to practice sword while listening for thunder and watching lightning.
He would guide the lightning to the sword and refine the sword aura with the momentum of the lightning.
‘This swordsmanship was made especially for me!"
Austin laughed in delight at the thought of the skills he possessed.
It might have been difficult for others to comprehend the lightning intent.
But for Austin, it was no longer a problem.
After getting the Thunder Elixir from the thunder unicorn, Austin had acquired the ability to use the force of thunder.
It was, therefore, no problem for him to grasp the lightning intent.
After reading the manual of the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship several times, Austin had mastered a general understanding of
cultivating the swordsmanship by heart.
The central idea demonstrated in the manual was to understand the lightning intent and guide lightning into the sword, thereafter
refine the sword aura and then begin to practice sword.
It was not clear in the manual what grade of the swordsmanship was at.
But Austin presumed it must be higher than grade seven.
Otherwise, a Sword Emperor would not cherish it so much so as to leave it in the statue and pass it down.
The City wasn't a good place to practice the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship, so Austin planned to practice it when he got out of the
City... .
Austin put away the statue of the Sword Emperor and realized that he had been in the City for more than four days.
"What's going on out there now?" he muttered.
Austin clearly knew that the City would be carried downstream as it was the size of a grain of sand and it would sink to the bottom
of the river.
But he decided to venture out and have a look.
After all, he couldn't hide in the City forever.
