"Well,
I have to leave the Sword Cosmos and go back,"
Austin said as he stood up.
"Sir, thank you for imparting your knowledge to me!"
Austin respectfully bowed as he extended his utmost gratitude.
Master Sword left behind more than ten million notable swords. Apart from it, he bestowed the
comprehension of his sword intent upon Austin. This young man couldn't express how thankful he was
for this bountiful gain.
Austin bid his farewell, and he eventually left the palace. His heart could practically pounce out of his
chest. He wanted to try out his newfound skill as soon as possible.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As he stepped out, the five sword spirits simultaneously appeared.
"Impressive!"
The five sword spirits could not help but applaud in unison when they sensed the sword aura from
Austin.
"Sirs."
Austin saluted.
"What a remarkable young man. Your swordsmanship skill has significantly skyrocketed!
This proves that you are truly a genius in swordsmanship!"
the old man in yellow commended.
"Thank you, sir. I'm flattered.
Unfortunately, I have to bid you farewell since I'm leaving the Sword Cosmos,"
Austin replied.
"We understand. You do what you do, young man. And remember, no matter what happens, you are
always welcome in the Sword Cosmos.
This will be a safe space for you no matter what.
In the future, you can come to the Divine Sword Mountain to cultivate.
I believe that there is no better place for you to cultivate than the Divine Sword Mountain,"
the wise elderly man in yellow suggested.
The other sword spirits also looked at Austin expectantly.
They all hoped that Austin would come back to the Divine Sword Mountain once again.
"This is very nice of you, sir.
If I have the chance, I will definitely come back to the Divine Sword Mountain to cultivate."
Austin gave them a grateful smile.
'These sword spirits are so nice to me,'
Austin thought to himself. He was quite moved.
"Bad news, young man.
The Divine Sword Mountain is currently surrounded. They're too many!
How do you plan on leaving the Sword Cosmos?"
the elder in red inquired.
"Sword Son Curry has told me the way to leave,"
Austin responded.
Before he entered the Sword Cosmos, Sword Son Curry had already predicted all the possible
situations.
He had also arranged a path for Austin to leave the Divine Sword Mountain based on these
circumstances.
"Let me guess.
Are you going to use the teleportation array in the temple of the mountain god on the Divine Sword
Mountain?"
The elder in yellow smiled, as if he had already read Austin's mind.
"How did you know?"
His question caught Austin by surprise.
Indeed, as Sword Son Curry had arranged, the hidden teleportation array on the Divine Sword
Mountain was the key to leaving the Sword Cosmos.
Since the powerful forces in the Sword Cosmos had a hard time conquering the Divine Sword
Mountain,
the Divine Sword Mountain still held plenty of secrets unknown to them.
One of them was a remote and unassuming temple of the mountain god.
There was a hidden teleportation array in the temple.
Only Master Sword and his five disciples knew about this teleportation array.
Now, the Divine Sword Mountain was completely surrounded.
There were even governing gods.
However, the array in the temple was so brilliant that it could teleport people out without being noticed.
"Ha-ha, young man, we are the sword spirits of the Divine Sword Mountain. Of course, we know
everything around here.
In fact, we told Master Sword about it and allowed him and his five disciples to use the teleportation
array.
It is under our control after all,"
the old man in yellow explained, laughing.
"I see..."
Austin trailed off, understanding the situation.
"Sir, may I borrow that array?"
he asked cautiously.
"Sword Son Curry must have given the token of the array to you, right?"
the old man in yellow confirmed.
"Yes, you are right."
Austin flipped his palm, and a token appeared in his palm, emitting a strong aura of space.
"Go ahead, you can use the array.
Remember to come back to the Divine Sword Mountain to cultivate when you have time."
The old man in yellow gave his permission.
"Thank you.
I've taken too much of your time now, sirs. I have to go."
Austin bid his farewell.
Overjoyed with his added skill, he turned around and left. Not long after, he came to a remote forest on
the Divine Sword Mountain.
Amidst the thick bramble of bushes and tall trees was a temple of the mountain god.
With the array token in his hand,
Austin went closer to its door.
To his surprise, the door opened automatically.
Austin walked inside, his footsteps echoing in the cold floor.
He looked around, noticing everything—there was nothing of significance around.
Then, Austin took the token and stretched his hand forward. He gave it a good shake, and then
suddenly, something happened!
The space rippled, and an array slowly appeared in front of Austin.
"Amazing! This token is really useful."
Seeing the array, Austin breathed a sigh of relief.
Without the token, he figured that there was no way in or out of the temple.
Austin stepped into the teleportation array and activated the token in his hand. The teleportation began,
and he instantly disappeared.
Meanwhile, the governing gods outside the Divine Sword Mountain were getting impatient.
There were fifteen of them, hiding in the void outside the Divine Sword Mountain. Their spiritual senses
locked on the mountain.
They could sense even the slightest movement of a grain of sand. Hence, they were getting suspicious
that they couldn't even perceive a person nearby.
"Why haven't Sword Son Curry and that brat come out yet?"
Among the governing gods, Rollins was the most anxious. He kept glancing repeatedly at the
mountain, keeping a close eye for any questionable movements.
"Be patient, buddy.
They must know that we have been waiting here.
It's possible that they are afraid or they're simply devising a plan,"
the leader of the Xi'men Clan soothed his companion.
"Humph, I will kill them myself the second they come out!"
Rollins madly remarked through gritted teeth.
They had no idea that there was a brilliant teleportation array on the Divine Sword Mountain. They
were absolutely clueless that there was another door that could escape their perception.
"Guys, do you think that Sword Son Curry has a secret escape route?"
one of the governing gods speculated.
They were so sensitive that they could perceive all kinds of things. So they found it odd that up until
now, they couldn't perceive anything at all.
"That's possible!
Back then, when Master Sword ruled the Divine Sword Mountain, his five disciples could freely enter
and exit the mountain.
Sword Son Curry knows the mountain very well.
They must've used some secret passage to escape our grasp!"
another governing god added.
"Let's use the laws of time and space to closely monitor this area.
With our combined forces, a secret passage around here wouldn't escape our senses!"
Rollins snorted.
"Don't underestimate Sword Son Curry.
After all, he had once ruled the Sword Cosmos.
Even if we join forces, it will be just enough to be a good match for him.
Moreover, the Divine Sword Mountain is a sacred place of the Sword Cosmos. This place holds a lot of
mysteries.
So far, we don't know much about it.
We can't be too careless,"
the leader of the Sky Sword Sect analyzed.
"It's true. However, waiting here is pointless.
How about this?
Some of us go up to the Divine Sword Mountain to look for Sword Son Curry and the brat.
The others guard here. Use the laws of time and space to completely lock the area around the
mountain.
With this plan, even if there is really a teleportation channel in the mountain, it can't escape our insight,"
the leader of the Xi'men Clan suggested.
"Okay. Sounds like a good plan."
The other governing gods agreed.
