"Whoa! Mom, you're awesome!
You've broken through to the Divine Realm so soon!"
Surprised at her achievement, Austin went straight to his mother and gave her a hug.
Indeed, his mother started off late with her cultivation.
Nonetheless, she broke through to the Divine Realm in no time.
Her cultivation speed was so astounding that even Austin felt inferior to her.
"You brat, don't you want me to get stronger?"
Austin's mother snapped at him with a playful smile.
She looked at Austin with concern and loving eyes and asked, "You've been out all these days. How
are you doing?"
As a mother, she couldn't help but cup Austin's face with her hands.
"I'm fine, mom," Austin replied as warmth filled his heart.
Not long after, everyone in the headquarters of the Flame Holy Land found out that Austin had come
back. They all gave him a warm welcome the moment they saw him.
"Wow!
Elder Sharp, Elder Brendan, both of you seem ready to face the Apotheosizing Doom at any time!"
Austin got amazed when he felt the auras emitted by the elders.
Apparently, the two of them had already reached the premium stage of Divine Realm.
He was glad to know that the core leaders of the Flame Holy Land had remarkable progress while he
was away.
He thought it would be difficult for them to find time to cultivate—especially Elder Sharp, who was in
charge of all the affairs of the Flame Holy Land.
"Yes, that's right.
I sense that the opportunity to break through is on its way.
Finally, huh? Ha-ha!" Elder Sharp laughed heartily in excitement.
"I'm glad.
Here, please take these. Maybe they could help."
With a wave of his hand, Austin took out loads of treasures, magic pills, and spiritual herbs.
Considering his wealth, what he drew out were rare treasures he acquired from all over the Sea of
Chaos. Each of them was absolutely invaluable.
"Ah, this kid..."
Shocked and gratified, Elder Sharp and Elder Brendan couldn't help but fix their eyes on the treasures
before them.
After that, the others also bid Austin welcome one after another.
He was delighted to be back and see everyone in the Flame Holy Land.
Since he had decided to stay in this place for a while, Austin felt thrilled that he would get to spend
more time with his parents, wives, brother, and some friends.
On top of that, Santos sent him a message through telepathy, telling him that he was in the Fallen
Divine Valley and that it would take him some time to learn how he could repair the Grand Geomancy
Array from Austin's statue master.
Although he didn't show it, Austin was secretly relieved to hear this news.
After all, he was looking forward to enjoying his time with family and friends without having to worry
about anything for a while. Besides, he didn't want to make trouble in the Sea of Chaos before the
huge array got repaired, so it all worked out for him.
One day, Elder Sharp and several superior elders of the Flame Holy Land went to visit Austin.
"Austin, would you mind indulging us during your free time? If it's all right with you, I'd like to ask you to
give a lecture to our disciples for a few days.
You're one of us, and every disciple here looks up to you.
Maybe you can cheer them up and fulfill their wish to see their idol."
Austin thought for a moment before he made up his mind.
"All right, sure.
Let's do it.
You can tell them I'm willing to give a lecture for three days," Austin uttered.
The news soon spread throughout the Flame Holy Land.
As expected, the scheduled lecture had caused an uproar.
All the disciples even danced with excitement.
"Hey, hey! Did you hear?
Austin will give a lecture!"
"He's the most powerful person in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos. We're so lucky we'd get to listen to his
speech!"
"Whoa! I heard that he's the most powerful person in all of the three thousand big and small universes!"
"Ha! That's nothing compared to what I've heard. Do you know that Master Kevin said that Austin has
made a name for himself in the Sea of Chaos?
He's fierce! I could imagine those super forces being scared to death whenever they hear his name!"
Every disciple in the Flame Holy Land couldn't stop talking about Austin.
Even the stewards and the elders were thrilled to hear him speak.
After all, they knew better than those disciples how strong he was now.
Soon, the disciples finished building the magnificent platform where Austin was set to deliver his
lecture.
Austin then went to the biggest square of the Flame Holy Land and got on the platform to begin his
lecture.
In an instant, all the living creatures in the Flame Holy Land—including the disciples and the senior
leaders—filled up the square.
They all surrounded the platform. The square got so densely packed that some creatures sat on the
ground with their legs crossed, while some floated in midair.
"Hello, everyone. I'll start with the most basic and most important cultivation methods..."
Austin's voice echoed in the headquarters of the Flame Holy Land. Each and every word he uttered
was loud and clear, and it sounded so grand and full of charm and wisdom.
He had comprehended several complete original chaotic laws. Not only that, but his actual combat
power was on a par with that of a semi-governing god. Austin definitely was a great master.
Every word that came out of his mouth implied the purest enlightenment.
It seemed that even Elder Sharp and the other top leaders joined the ordinary disciples in the square.
They couldn't help but take great interest in this sensational lecture.
'Whoa.
They came here too?'
While Austin was teaching on the platform, he suddenly found some familiar figures.
One of them was Earth Hermit.
He was a senior that Austin was heartily concerned about.
Back when he was still in the East Mainland of the Divine Continent, he had broken into a tomb and
stolen the coffin with Earth Hermit. They became friends after the adventure.
Later, Earth Hermit became one of the elders of the Flame Holy Land.
However, he didn't like being restricted. He also had no connection with anyone, so he rarely stayed in
the headquarters of the Flame Holy Land. He liked wandering around alone.
That was why Austin didn't expect that he would come and see him give a lecture.
He also saw an old man with white hair among the crowd. It was Mr. Fang!
It had been a while since he saw the old man, so he was overjoyed to find him at the square.
The old man used to be a very low-key cultivator at the Immortal Transforming Realm in the East
Mainland of the Divine Continent.
He had served the Sword Emperor back in the day and even learned some sword skills from him.
This Sword Emperor was none other than the Divine Swordsman.
Just like the old man, Austin learned some of his skills from this incredible master.
That actually made them fellow disciples.
As far as Austin knew, Mr. Fang had been with the avatar of the Divine Swordsman for a while after the
avatar first showed up.
After some time, however, he returned to the East Mainland and began to cultivate in seclusion.
Austin didn't expect that he would come to the headquarters of the Flame Holy Land today, so he truly
was pleasantly surprised.
For three days, Austin stood on the platform to impart some useful knowledge to everyone who came
to listen to him.
He started with the most basic concept of martial arts until he talked about the most advanced laws of
supreme enlightenment.
With all his strength and insight, he could explain profound martial arts even in the simplest language.
It amazed him how most of the creatures in the headquarters of the Flame Holy Land could listen to
him attentively for three days.
What was more, some of those disciples were so deeply focused that they didn't even notice the
passage of time.
Random exclaims could be heard echoing from the crowd as they finally found the answers to the
difficulties, puzzles, and problems they encountered while they were in the process of their cultivation.
No words could explain the excitement on their faces the moment they realized they had just received
enlightenment.
Three days had passed, and Austin had finally concluded his lecture.
The second he said his goodbyes, he swiftly disappeared from the platform.
However, many creatures remained gathered around the platform even though he had already left the
square. As they sat quietly with their eyes closed, they savored every word that Austin had taught
them.
Clap! Crack! Boom!
All of a sudden, thunder rumbled in the sky above the Flame Holy Land.
It went on and on until it shook the ground.
Then, the thunder finally roared and strokes of lightning hit the air.
"Woo-hoo! I'm going to break through!"
A creature eagerly soared into the sky, fearlessly meeting the Thunderstroke Doom.
"Oh, man! Me too!
"Ha! Same here! See you at the next stage!"
Every second in the next few days, the Thunderstroke Doom could be heard in all of the Flame Holy
Land.
Many of them had made remarkable breakthroughs after listening to Austin's lecture.
"Ha-ha! Why am I not surprised that his teachings would lead our disciples to this much progress?
Look, the overall strength of the Flame Holy Land has seriously enhanced!"
Elder Sharp and the senior elders were overjoyed to see everyone in the headquarters achieving
greater things, thanking Austin in their hearts for helping them.
"I'm about to face the Apotheosizing Doom!"
Even Elder Sharp felt thrilled that he would soon find success after all his diligent cultivation.
"Me too.
I will meet it one of these days," Elder Brendan expressed with fervent anticipation.
Sure enough, after just a couple of days, Elder Sharp and Elder Brendan underwent the Apotheosizing
Doom.
Finally, they both passed and emerged as divine gods.
