During this period, Austin led his allied army and gained a firm foothold in the Sea of Chaos.
He then planned to carefully train the army and strengthen it. But he wouldn't interfere too much unless
it became really necessary or if the army was in a crisis of life and death.
And now, above all, he needed to consider the improvement of his own strength.
But he seemed to have hit a bottleneck.
He was at a loss as he had no idea what he should do and where he could travel to for opportunities to
improve.
"The isolated alien spaces!"
he suddenly muttered as he sat in the secret room one day.
"The secret method of the Puppet Strings can probably cause my strength to soar in a short time!"
he exclaimed, this simple solution coming to mind.
"Okay, then," Austin said, making up his mind.
"I will go to the isolated alien space the spiritual race lived to give it a try!"
He was risking his life by going to this dangerous place in order to become stronger.
This was not a blindly arrogant decision, though. Austin believed that with his current strength, it
wouldn't be too dangerous for him to face the spiritual race.
Moreover, he had the spiritual tree, the spiritual dragon, and the secret method of the Puppet Strings to
protect him. He had made great achievements in all these aspects.
So he assumed that it wouldn't be difficult for him to deal with the divine gods of the spiritual race.
Wasting no time, he immediately called the ten core leaders of the allied army to his place and handed
charge of the army's daily affairs over to them while he would be away.
He also informed the twelve zodiac animals of his plan.
The twelve zodiac animals, on hearing his decision, decided to go to the isolated alien space with him.
They were afraid that something bad would happen to Austin.
But Austin refused their kind offer, convincing them instead, to stay in the Ice Palace and take charge
of the allied army.
Austin knew that the six super forces would counterattack the allied army sooner or later.
He would feel less worried with the twelve zodiac animals protecting the allied army.
"But, Austin, you would be all alone! What if something terrible happens to you?
The six super forces are probably thinking hard about how to kill you.
If you go out alone and they discover you, the consequences will be terrible.
Let us go with you. Please!"
the sky-devouring dog said worriedly.
"Don't worry. I'll disguise myself well and move in secret. They won't find me that easily.
Besides, the spiritual race is not very powerful. I can deal with them myself.
I'm tough and won't die that easily.
All of you stay in the Ice Palace and help me take charge of the army,"
Austin said, smiling.
"All right."
The twelve zodiac animals had no choice but to agree to what Austin was suggesting.
"But if you encounter something you can't handle, you have to inform us immediately. We will help you.
You are our master's disciple. We can't let you be killed.
If we did, it would be like failing our master,"
the sky-devouring dog added.
"Don't worry. I'm more nervous than you when it comes to my life. I will be extremely careful,"
Austin said, his smile softening. Warmth filled his heart at how there were so many people caring about
him.
And then, Austin quietly left the Ice Palace and headed for the isolated alien spaces.
It was a special area in the Sea of Chaos.
It was supposed to be at the most remote location on the edge of the Sea of Chaos.
It was also the most mysterious place in the Sea of Chaos.
There were many independent isolated alien spaces clustered together. Many strange races lived in
those spaces.
Austin accelerated the top-level spaceship he was staying in.
Half a month later, a strange void suddenly appeared before him.
Huge meteorites floated in the air.
Streams of colorful gas floated amidst these meteorites like silk ribbons.
Pieces of broken land moved slowly around.
There were other strange things dotting the vacuum for as far as Austin could see.
Many vines that Austin had never seen were entangled in a mess.
"Each of these vines represents a different type of law!"
Austin exclaimed, surprised at this realization.
What a strange place this was!
"I think the isolated alien spaces are just ahead,"
Austin said, smiling rather bitterly.
He then continued to steer the airship forward.
He simultaneously used his spiritual sense to look around cautiously.
As a result, he saw all kinds of strange scenes.
Time and space were a complete mess in this place.
To be fair, everything including law, energy, material, air, and light was a mess here.
"It so hot!"
Austin gasped, continuously wiping his sweat as he passed by a ginormous ball of violent sunshine.
This sunshine lit up every corner of the space, causing people to sweat profusely, given that the
temperature was so ridiculously high.
No creature could ever live in this environment.
The temperature was too high.
Austin was relatively safe in the airship, but he still felt the strength of the heat. He sweated as he lay
on the ground.
He realized that the sunshine contained a kind of radiation;
the rays of which could penetrate his body, increasing its temperature and making it feel like it was on
the cusp of burning down.
Opposite this area was a space filled with ice and snow. The cold wind carried flakes of ice, destroying
the whole space. It looked terrible.
"It's so cold!" Austin exclaimed.
His strength didn't prevent him from feeling the cold.
He had mastered the complete law of snow but he still felt defeated in the face of such a cold
environment.
In a different area, he encountered another space filled with flames.
Every inch of this boundless space was filled with blazing flames.
Everything else apart from the flames was gone. They had probably burned to ashes.
"What a rich law of fire this is!"
Austin exclaimed as he flew through the space.
He found that this space was filled with a brilliant law of fire.
What was more, this was the original chaotic law of fire!
Thanks to Austin's currently high level of strength, he had a deep understanding of all the existing laws.
There were many laws out there.
But only five were the most basic.
They were the laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
It was said that only these five basic laws existed when the chaotic space first came into being.
These five basic laws later evolved and were mutually reinforced, and other laws were slowly created
based on them.
It could also be said that these five basic laws were mothers to the other laws.
Austin had mastered three of these laws: those of metal, wood, and earth.
Only the laws of fire and water remained.
He had long since been looking for an opportunity to cultivate these two laws.
"I probably have a chance of comprehending the law of fire if I cultivate in this space,"
Austin murmured as he looked around at the endless fire.
'But I think I'd better go look for the spiritual race first, '
he then thought to himself.
He then continued to travel through these strange spaces, one after another.
"I seem to have lost my way!
I've been travelling here for half a month, but I haven't yet seen any living creature!"
Austin exclaimed, suddenly realizing that something was terribly, terribly wrong.
