Somewhere far away at the same time, the man from the ghost race had landed at the outside of the
forbidden area. He was not alone and had brought Henrik along with him.
Both of them looked at it happening with the help of their spiritual sense.
"Unfortunately, this is the only area in this space and time that I can't step into.
And it is so well guarded that even my spiritual sense can't clearly perceive the situation inside,"
the man from the ghost race sighed helplessly.
"Strange! But you are right.
The forbidden area belonging to the fire source beast race is indeed very mysterious. One cannot
break through it easily.
There are special energy and laws guarding it. It's extremely difficult for us to perceive the happenings
of the inside from outside,"
Henrik agreed, standing close to the man from the ghost race.
It was a fact that Henrik was already an avatar of the man from the ghost race.
Undeniably, he was the most powerful and highly respected as one of his avatars.
So wherever the man of the ghost race was, Henrik would be by his side.
"Surprisingly, it seems like the leaders of the Time Chamber Sect have got trapped in this forbidden
area. They are not able to get out of it,"
said Henrik with a raised eyebrow. It was weird to even think.
"Don't worry about them.
I'm certain that they will manage to escape as all four of them are very powerful masters.
Although the fire source beast was able to trap them temporarily, he is unable to kill them.
Surely, they will be able to come out of it, sooner or later,"
the man from the ghost race said with a smirk on his face.
"In fact, what intrigues and concerns me most is only one person, and that is Austin.
I wonder why the fire source beast brought him into this forbidden area!"
the man from the ghost race spoke in a low voice. It had puzzled him a lot.
For some unknown reason, he had a bad feeling about it all. There was a thought bugging him that
something unexpected was going to happen to Austin.
"I strongly feel that I should have stopped Austin from entering the forbidden area.
I am hundred percent sure that the fire source beast brought him into this forbidden area for some
purpose. There has to be some secret or plan behind it,"
he added impatiently and uneasily. The more he thought, the more it made him intrigued.
"Oh! What?
Are you afraid that Austin will get some special opportunities and skills in this forbidden area?"
Henrik asked with a grin on his face.
"Exactly! Well, that's exactly what I'm worried about.
However, as long as the opportunities he gets have nothing to do with mind power, it won't pose any
risk or danger for us.
You may think that I'm overthinking or overreacting, but that does worry me.
Moreover, since this is the forbidden area of the fire source beast race, I believe that all the
opportunities that Austin gets should be related to fire.
I'm hopeful that it can't be related to mind power,"
the man from the ghost race laughed in a fake manner. It was clear that he was skeptical about his own
words.
"Hmm...Yes.
I suppose so too. Let's hope that your thoughts are right."
Henrik nodded his head gently as he too became thoughtful about it.
Although the spiritual sense of the man from the ghost race and Henrik were powerful, they were still
unable to penetrate the mysterious energy and laws surrounding the area.
Thus, the two of them weren't able to accurately perceive the situation inside the forbidden area.
At the same moment, something was happening in the Millstone of Heavenly Fire.
"Arghhhh!"
A miserable scream echoed in the air. It came from Austin's mouth and reverberated in the whole area.
At that time, he had crossed through the depth of the Millstone of Heavenly Fire and reached the end
point.
So he was going through more terrible and vigorous training there. It was more than he had
anticipated.
His spiritual soul was being grinding over and over again with almost every passing minute and
second.
He felt the terrible pain shoot through his body and reached the depths of his spiritual soul.
Adding to this excruciating experience, his thoughts, memories, wills and anything related to his
consciousness were constantly being crushed. Then they were being reorganized.
Although it was a terribly painful process, Austin knew that it would benefit him a lot.
With every passing moment, he found that his mind power was also improving continuously. It was
getting better and better.
All along the way he had taken to reach the depth of the Millstone of Heavenly Fire, Austin's mind
power had developed remarkably. It was at least a thousand times stronger than before.
It could be said without a shadow of a doubt that there was a qualitative leap in his strength. And the
leap had made him far more powerful than ever.
At a certain moment of time, he felt something like a jolt through his body.
"Huh!" he cried out in a low voice.
The next moment as the realization dawned upon him, he felt overjoyed.
He found that all the pain he had suffered and endured till then had begun to fade away.
"This is great!
Looks like I finally made it through!"
He sighed with relief. There was joy and a feeling of accomplishment on his face.
Even after that, he continued to stay in the Millstone of Heavenly Fire for further training.
"Wow! That's amazing.
Austin has finally made it through!"
the senior master of the fire source beast race said with satisfaction. There was a little smile on his
face.
At the beginning, he had been worried that Austin wouldn't be able to bear the terrifying trials of the
Millstone of Heavenly Fire.
But now, he was amazed that Austin had finally made it through those dreadful trials.
"Austin, your mind power must have made great progress, hasn't it?"
he asked with a gentle smile on his face. There was a sense of pride in his manner.
"Yes, sir. It is a fact that the Millstone of Heavenly Fire has been a great help to increase my mind
power.
Thank you so much for bringing me here and giving me this opportunity!"
Austin replied with elation. It was indeed a moment of joy and pride for him.
"Aha! That's really good.
Austin, you can continue to stay in the Millstone of Heavenly Fire. It will allow you to receive more
extensive training.
Let's see how much you can improve through the trials,"
the old man said to Austin with a smile.
"Okay! That sounds good."
Austin nodded. He too wanted to know how much progress he would make.
Then he sat cross legged in the innermost part of the Millstone of Heavenly Fire. This time, as there
was no screaming, he was like an old monk sitting in meditation. He was there motionless.
At this time, the Millstone of Heavenly Fire started releasing a mysterious energy. It kept approaching
constantly and seemed to be crushing at Austin.
However, the pain brought by this kind of grinding was getting lighter and lighter for Austin.
On the other hand, his mind power was getting stronger and stronger.
Unaware of the passing of time, hundreds of years had passed.
"Let's rush out!"
the four old lords of the Time Chamber Sect shouted in unison.
Facing a hard time, the four of them finally reached the edge of the forbidden area. They had been able
to reach there by passing through each step, one by one.
By the end of it all, they were physically and mentally exhausted. Their bodies were covered with
bruises and scars, and their spiritual souls had been seriously injured.
The strength of the senior master of the fire source beast race was equivalent to that of the four of
them. Moreover, he had gained a great edge from this forbidden area. So, the four of them were no
match for him at all. They had been struggling to hold on and were very tired.
'It looks like I can't kill the four of them by myself,'
the senior master thought to himself. Quietly, he looked at the four old lords.
He knew that those four old lords were very powerful. And together with their whole strength they were
so powerful that he could not kill them by himself.
"Forget it. Let them go.
It's useless if we trap them here any longer.
If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that I'll feel tired of it."
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Then, he stopped attacking and stood still, staring at the four old lords calmly.
"Look!
It does seem like the fire source beast has stopped attacking us!"
The four old lords were overjoyed as they realized this. It was just what they had wanted.
"What are we waiting for now? C'mon, let's get out of here!"
one of them shouted aloud.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
All of them started running looking for an exit point. They tried their best to rush out of the forbidden
area as they were afraid of what may happen with them next.
Luckily, this time, they were not attacked. There was nothing that blocked their way or hindered their
escape.
They hastily rushed out of the forbidden area.
"Woah! Finally we are out!"
The four old lords smiled at each other excitedly. They were glad that they had been able to get
through it.
It was indeed a fact that they were actually afraid of the forbidden area.
"Well, we'll need to get out of this terrible space and time. And we must not waste a moment. Let us
rush out as soon as possible!
C'mon guys, the faster we run, the better for us!"
one of them shouted. The four old men rushed out desperately.
However, it was not going to be such an easy thing for them.
Whoosh!
A white light flashed before their eyes. A man in white had appeared in front of them. They had not
expected this to happen. He came out of nowhere and blocked their way.
It was the man in white from the ghost race.
The man from the ghost race looked coldly at the four old lords of the Time Chamber Sect.
"Hello guys! Are you in a hurry to leave?
It looks like all of you have forgotten something!"
the man from the ghost race said. There was an unfriendly expression on his face and a coldness in his
manner.
"Damn it! Just what we did not want!"
The hearts of the four old lords sank as they looked at the form of the man from the ghost race take
shape in front of them. They were hopeful of escaping from the forbidden area and then left this place
forever, but all their hopes seemed to shatter when they saw the man from the ghost race before
them.
