"Congratulations, young man!
You have successfully passed the tests of the Divine Sword Mountain. From now on, you can enter and
leave the mountain whenever you like, without any restriction,"
the old man in yellow said to Austin with a smile.
"And, now that you are recognized by the Divine Sword Mountain,
you are also a member of the Sword Cosmos.
You can freely enter and leave the Sword Cosmos and cultivate here if you like.
And, perhaps the most wonderful of all, you can cultivate on the Divine Sword Mountain,"
the old man in yellow added.
"That's right!"
the old man in green piped up, nodding his head proudly.
The other three sword servants all exchanged the looks of approval. No other young man had made it
this far before.
"Are you serious?
I didn't know the benefits were this great!"
Austin cried out, cupping his face in his hands.
He had taken great efforts this time to enter the Sword Cosmos
because the supreme universe was exclusive to its own native creatures.
"Austin, this is all true.
Cultivation in a supreme universe is a dream all cultivators hold, and you've done it.
You can absorb the great cosmos force of the supreme universe,
which means that your energy base could reach higher levels. You can start to cultivate the great
cosmos force now,"
Sword Son Curry added, unable to wipe the smile off his face.
"Thank you so much!"
Austin clapped his hands enthusiastically.
"All right.
Young man, it's all yours."
With that, the five sword spirits flashed Austin a faint smile and disappeared.
"You know what this means, right, Austin? Now you can enter my master's secret cultivation room and
collect the spiritual tablets of my master and four seniors. Then you can take the tens of millions of
precious swords and study the sword intent left by my master,"
Sword Son Curry said.
"Great!"
With a gush of excitement, Austin strode towards the biggest palace at the peak of the mountain.
The palace resembled a gigantic sword that was stabbed into the ground. The hilt gleamed in the sun.
Standing in front of the gateway of the palace, Austin was instantly reminded of how insignificant he
was.
The door was closed.
Austin tried to push the door but it didn't move at all. A frown scrunched his face.
"Sir, I can't get the door to open,"
Austin told Sword Son Curry, looking over his shoulder at him.
Closing his eyes, Austin used his powerful spiritual sense to examine the door and sensed that it was
locked by a mysterious force.
"If anyone else were to try, it can't be opened,
but I'm here. There's no problem.
That's why I sent out this wisp of spiritual soul with you.
You need me to open the door.
Otherwise, even a governing god from the Sword Cosmos won't be able to open it,"
Sword Son Curry replied.
"I see,"
Austin said in realization.
"All right.
Stand back and I'll open the door for you.
And remember, the area at the bottom of the Divine Sword Mountain has been surrounded by the
troops of the four forces.
You have to employ the skills I taught you in order to escape after you're done here.
Be careful!
Above all, save yourself,"
Sword Son Curry explained.
Then his spiritual soul suddenly turned into a sword light and catapulted at the door.
"Sir, aren't you coming with me?" Austin looked around
but Sword Son Curry had disappeared.
Clang!
The door of the palace began shivering.
Then, a human face slowly appeared on the door. It was an old man with a pair of glistening eyes and
three wisps of long beard.
"Master!"
It was the voice of Sword Son Curry.
The old man on the door made the slightest of nods.
Then,
the door swung open slowly.
By now, the aura of Sword Son Curry had completely disappeared.
Finally, Austin realized that Sword Son Curry had turned himself into a sword light to awaken the
spiritual soul mark left on the door by Master Sword. He had to do it at that moment or Austin wouldn't
have gotten inside.
As a result, the wisp of Sword Son Curry's spiritual soul had completely dissipated.
Sword Son Curry had been right. Only he could open the door of the palace.
Others wouldn't be able to open it, not even the governing gods.
"Thank you so much, sir!"
Austin said gratefully.
Then he walked inside.
It was like he had stepped into another small world.
He could understand why Master Sword used to come here to cultivate in seclusion.
As Austin looked around, he took in
numerous sharp swords flying in the air,
endless sword light, sword aura, and sword intent.
In the sky, countless visions were displayed. They depicted the civilization, the history, and the faith of
the sword.
Austin also discovered countless swordsmen with ancient auras in this small world.
Some of them were flying with their swords, some were sitting cross-legged in the void to study the
sword intent, some were fighting with each other, and some were practicing alone. It was one of the
most wonder places he had ever set foot in.
Everything was related to swords!
'Okay. The first thing I need to accomplish is finding the spiritual tablets of Master Sword and his four
disciples,'
Austin thought to himself.
The world was just big enough that he didn't feel like searching every inch of it.
Austin immediately released his spiritual sense.
Sword Son Curry had sent all details of this small world to Austin,
so he knew a lot about it already and didn't need to explore the place himself.
After a while, he cried out,
"I found it!"
He spun on his heel and rushed in the other direction.
In a corner of the small world,
there was a small temple
on a divine mountain that dazzled with bright sword light.
Austin walked into the temple.
Inside,
there was only one ancient wooden altar.
Five spiritual tablets were organized on the altar.
They were engraved respectively with the names of Master Sword and his four disciples:
Master Sword,
Sword Son Dyer,
Sword Son Lowell,
Sword Son Goodwin,
and Sword Son Harding.
'Those are the ones I need!'
Excitement filled him. This task was definitely easier than the past ones.
"Sirs, I was entrusted by Master Sword Son Curry to take your spiritual tablets away from here.
I hope you can understand,"
Austin said as he bowed to the five spiritual tablets on the altar.
Then he released the aura of Sword Son Curry to them.
Master Sword and his four disciples were very powerful beings,
and they might still be alive.
Therefore, Austin couldn't just casually pick up their tablets and take them away.
Master Sword in particular would be difficult to deal with.
It didn't take long
for the five spiritual tablets to warm up to Austin after he released the aura of Sword Son Curry.
Austin knew that he could move these spiritual tablets now.
"Sirs, sorry to bother you."
Carefully, he teleported the five spiritual tablets into a human world in his body.
There were more than one hundred human worlds in Austin's body and each had an endless capacity.
"Okay. So the second task is to collect all these tens of millions of precious swords."
Looking at the swords flying in the air, Austin's eyes sparkled with excitement.
