The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"The Earthly Mother Essence is definitely good, pretty good.

Dahlia, you often say you want to learn vital energy cultivation method rather than the body cultivation method of our Veritable Demon Sect, right? You have my physical quality inheritance, a poor aptitude in vital energy cultivation.

You will go nowhere if you insist on the vital energy cultivation.

And the essence in this jade bottle will change your aptitude and make you suitable to develop vital energy cultivation, if you take it.

Then you can cultivate vital energy as you like," explained the middle-aged man.

"Really! That's pretty good!" Dahlia shouted and jumped for joy.

‘But why would that lad give such a precious treasure to Dahlia?’ the man wondered.

His face was unpredictable and puzzled. "Well, let's go back," he said after a brief thought.

With the maidens on his sides, he strode into the distance.

Half a day later, a grain of sand in the riverbed moved a little.

It softly floated and drifted downstream along the river.

A few hours later, this grain of sand was already a dozen miles away from its original position.

Slowly a wisp of spiritual sense rose out of it.

A figure flashed out from it only when it was sure of its safety.

That figure was of no one else but Austin! The gnand Violet also cout of the Illusion Bead.

Tessa had already been teleported by Austin into the City when he heard that Dahlia's father was in the Dragon City.

Moreover, he gave a large amount of cultivation resources to her so she would concentrate on cultivation in the City without being disturbed. She could work further to reach a higher level.

Austin regarded Tessa as his elder sister.

Thus, he was quite generous to give her sinvaluable resources.

He was hoping that she would make sbreakthroughs with those cultivation resources soon.

"I never expected that Dahlia's father would be so powerful. | am nothing but an ant in front of him." Austin's heart was still fluttering with fear when he recalled what he had encountered.

He released his spiritual sense in the upstream direction.

It took a long while for Austin to relax, for he needed to be sure that Dahlia's father had left.

He couldn't go back to the Dragon City. Dahlia's father would by no means set him free if he knew what Austin had done in the Holy Tomb.

Determined, Austin chose to stay away from the Dragon City as far as he could.

One of the reasons why Austin had cto the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom was that he needed to find Angus's daughter in the Magic Hand Sect.

So he thought it was best if he now headed for the Magic Hand Sect.

Austin knew he had already offended most of the people of the five major sects in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.

The Holy Tomb of the Veritable Demon Sect was a mess by the courtesy of his visit.

Fifty to sixty disciples from the Sky Sect were killed by him in the Sunset Mountain.

Mark from the Ghost Puppet Sect and Magic Harp Player Isis from the New Moon Sect were also offended by him.

It meant he was in conflict with four of the five major sects of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.

The thought made Austin's head spin. It was something to worry about. But there was hardly anything he could do about it now.

And today he had encountered a powerful master, Dahlia's father, who cfrom the Veritable Demon Sect.

‘Indeed | can defeat or even kill the disciples from all the five major sects of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom easily.

But | am no match for sreal masters of the five major sects.

Being the top-ranking sects within the whole South Continent of the PrMartial World, the five major sects in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom are really tough to face due to their profound foundation and long history, ' Austin mulled.

So he realized he should remain low-key as far as possible. It would not be a wise choice to stir up trouble everywhere he went. At least he had to make sure that before he did so, he was really powerful enough.

During the days that followed, Austin brought a long black robe and hid his whole body inside including his features.

Then he bought a normal red blood dragon horse and embarked upon his journey ahead.

He advised Violet to conceal his breath any tthey met any cultivator.

The journey went on smoothly, and nearly a dozen days had passed without any altercation.

He continued his journey in daytand cultivated his vital energy in the evening.

It was clear to Austin that the vital energy cultivation base had bechis most serious shortcoming and had encumbered his comprehensive strength badly.

He had to do whatever he could to improve his strength in vital energy cultivation base.

On a silent night after a dozen days, Austin sat behind a hill located in the suburb of a small town.

He closed his eyes and silenced his mind as he exercised the Golden Sun Scripture formula a few times. Strangely, Austin had a faint feeling that the energy meridians inside his body were swelling.

This was an omen, he felt. It was an omen that his vital energy was going to make a breakthrough. He hadn't got that feeling over a very long time.

Unexpectedly, the feeling was creeping into him now.

Austin hadn't made any breakthrough in his vital energy cultivation base for quite a long duration.

Without hesitation, he turned his palm and took the jade bottle from his Space Ring.

It was the Earthly Mother Essence that was contained in the jade bottle.

Austin unscrewed the cap and exercised a wisp of vital energy force. As a result, half of the essence present in the bottle popped up and dropped into his mouth.

Then he screwed the cap back and put the bottle with the other half back in his Space Ring.

An enormous stream of warm current rose in his mouth and flew all over his body, passing into his blood, flesh, bones, energy meridians and cells. It was the result of the Earthly Mother Essence meeting his tongue.

A feeling of steadiness ran through all his veins. Austin felt only happiness in his body and mind as if he were basking in the sun.

As the essence kept seeping into every corner of his body, Austin felt like every one of his meridians was undergoing transformation and restructuring.

His energy meridians were expanding.

If Austin's energy meridians were to be compared to creeks, now it felt like those creeks were turning into big rivers! Half an hour later, Austin finally finished the absorption of half bottle's Earthly Mother Essence.

He made a rough estimation and found his energy meridians were ten times larger in size than before! Moreover, a sour and numb feeling was becoming dominant in his energy meridians as a series of crisp and cracking sounds were heard which seemed like setting off firecrackers.

He was on the point of a new breakthrough! Austin had no doubts about that.

He circulated his vital energy and dashed against the hurdles which prevented him from making the breakthrough.

Continuous vital energy gushed out from the golden light ball in his elixir field and vital energy stone. It kept flowing along all his energy meridians.

At this moment, Austin's energy meridians had increased ten times in volthan before. It was going to happen anytnow!
