All of a sudden, all the governing gods looked at Austin with greed in their eyes.
Because Austin had used the Reincarnation Token so many times, many creatures in the Sea of Chaos
knew about it.
However, the road of reincarnation had been nothing but a legend to them until today.
The stories were too tall. Not even the governing gods believed them to be true.
Therefore, the powerful cultivators in the Sea of Chaos had never paid much attention to the
Reincarnation Token in Austin's hand.
They saw it as a useful magic treasure, nothing else.
But now, it had been proven that the Reincarnation Token really had something to do with the road of
reincarnation.
Therefore, they needed to come up with plans to steal it from Austin.
As the Taoist talked to Austin, a transparent array rose from the altar to isolate them.
As a result, the people around the altar had no idea what Austin, the Taoist priest, and the monk were
discussing.
"Young man, I have a hunch that you will play a very crucial role in rebuilding the road of reincarnation
in the future,"
the Taoist priest said.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Austin asked, frowning down at the Taoist priest.
He didn't even know what the road of reincarnation was. How could he fix it one day?
"It's only a hunch,
but my hunches are always accurate.
I'm advanced in the law of space and time and I know something about the law of reincarnation, so I
can have some premonitions concerning the past, the present, and the future.
You should trust me,"
the Taoist priest explained.
"Ha! Old man, you're like me.
I had the same hunch when I first met this young man,"
the monk added, laughing.
"All right! Since you both have the same feeling, I believe you."
Austin wasn't positive but he didn't want a lecture.
It seemed that both the Taoist priest and the monk were reluctant to leak any information about the
road of reincarnation to him.
It was up to him to unlock its mysteries.
'Are they right?
Am I this vital to the road of reincarnation?'
Austin wondered.
The Taoist priest and the monk had predicted his future,
yet Austin still felt frustrated.
He had run into two old men who were related to the road of reincarnation, but he couldn't get any
useful information about the road of reincarnation from them.
'It seems I have to give up on my inquiry about the road of reincarnation.
No one is willing to tell me anything about it.
Since I'm lucky to meet this Taoist priest, I should ask him to teach me some secret skills.
I cannot waste such a good opportunity.'
Thoughts poured into Austin's mind so fast that he didn't know what to ask.
"Sir, it's a great responsibility to rebuild the road of reincarnation,
but I'm very weak now.
It would be helpful to learn something that will increase my abilities and help me do it,"
Austin asked bravely.
Austin knew that the old Taoist priest had lived a long time. He must have achieved a high cultivation
base, so his martial arts skills would be wonderful.
He probably knew some secret skills that had been lost for long.
"Oh?
You want me to teach you some martial arts skills?"
the Taoist priest asked, looking at Austin with wide eyes.
"Ha-ha! That's the type of boy he is!
He also asked me to teach him something when I met him,"
the monk said with a smile.
Hearing the monk's words, Austin couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He flashed an awkward smile at
the two old men.
"I think your request is reasonable,
young man.
Since you are destined to have a connection with the road of reincarnation,
I will give you some pointers.
Our force has declined over time. We need fresh blood, then we might have the chance to revive in the
future,"
the Taoist priest said with a nod.
"Listen, young man.
I sense that you have achieved great things using the law of reincarnation, the law of time, and the law
of space.
I happen to have some insights about the three laws.
We can exchange our views of the three laws. What do you say?"
the Taoist priest suggested while looking at Austin.
"Young man, make sure you show your gratitude.
This old man's cultivation base in the law of reincarnation is much stronger than mine,"
the monk reminded Austin.
"Thank you for agreeing to teach me the cultivation method, sir."
Austin had a hard time containing his smile.
"Wait a minute. Before we start, I must shoo these annoying flies,"
the Taoist priest said impatiently.
"All of you, leave now!
Remember, don't mess with the road of reincarnation in the future!"
he ordered.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole altar started to roar and shake. It was completely activated.
Endless energy and laws were released from the altar continuously.
Boom!
The Taoist priest waved the fly whisk in his hand and every thread transformed into a huge dragon,
which roared and pounced on the governing gods one after another.
"Old man, let me help you!"
the monk shouted while rushing toward his companion.
He recited a profound Buddhist scripture and swirled his hand around in the air to draw a formula.
Bright Buddhist light burst out from his body and the creatures nearby had to shroud their eyes.
Some of the energy and laws that were released from the altar added to his power.
Boom!
The monk clapped his hands. Then he showed his palm to the crowd. People could see that there was
a huge Buddhist world on his palm.
Many images of ancient Buddha could be seen in the Buddhist world. They were in a cross-legged
position and were chanting scriptures.
Countless pious men and women were worshiping in front of them.
Thousands of Buddhist treasures and weapons were shining brightly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Taoist priest and the monk worked together to create a cloud of tremendous energy.
All of a sudden, the space around the altar began to collapse inch by inch.
Everything was destroyed!
"Let's get out of here!"
the governing gods said, exchanging worried looks.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Using their bodily movement skill, they disappeared in an instant.
"Take care of yourself, Austin.
We can't stay either,"
the twelve zodiac animals said loudly to Austin before they left.
"Watch out, sirs!"
Austin warned, nodding at them.
The governing gods wanted to kill Austin as well as the twelve zodiac animals, and they wouldn't rest
until the deed was done.
"Don't worry. Although we can't defeat those governing gods,
it's not that easy for them to kill us."
The instant the twelve zodiac animals disappeared, Austin heard their voices in his ears.
By this time, all the powerful cultivators that had been around the altar had left.
Only Chapman and Atticus were left on the steps of the altar.
"You two, get out of here right now! Otherwise, I will have to forcibly remove you!"
Austin yelled, glaring at them with coldness.
"All right, Austin. But we're not finished with you!"
After a moment of thought, Chapman and Atticus gritted their teeth and left the altar. Soon, they were
gone into the void.
Their wounds had recovered exponentially after several days of rest.
They were reluctant to leave because the governing gods were likely still waiting for them outside.
Once they went out, they would be hunted down by their enemies again.
After everyone had left, the Taoist priest began to teach Austin his secret skills.
Austin, of course, listened carefully and absorbed all the information.
Since Austin was smart and experienced in martial arts now, he knew his comprehension ability was
the key for him to learn a new technique.
He just needed to grasp the core essence of the skill to be learned. Once he fully understood it, he had
no problem mastering it.
Sometimes, in order to comprehend a certain cultivation method, some martial arts masters would
cultivate in seclusion for tens of millions of years.
When they understood it thoroughly, it would only cost them a few seconds to master it.
The higher a cultivator's cultivation base was, the more likely he would adopt things based on
comprehension.
