After a while,
Austin had finally arrived at the Ice Sword World of the Ice Palace.
The first thing he heard was a loud booming laugh. "Ha-ha! Austin, you've returned! Finally!"
As soon as he sensed that Austin had stepped foot in the sword shrine deep at the Ice Sword World,
Sword Son Curry laughed in delight.
He felt thoroughly exhilarated and amused.
Furthermore, he had a hunch that Austin had successfully completed the task that was entrusted to
him.
"Sir! I am truly honored to have fulfilled your assignment!"
Austin turned and bowed towards Sword Son Curry right after he entered the sword shine.
With a slight wave of Austin's hand, five spiritual tablets came flying out of his human world. After that,
they remained floating in front of Sword Son Curry.
"Master and four seniors! How fortunate of me to be standing in front of you once again!"
Sword Son Curry trembled with excitement at the presence of the five spiritual tablets. He immediately
knelt down to kowtow. Tears were streaming down his face.
Almost simultaneously, the five spiritual tablets began quivering slightly.
"Ah, Curry! It must have been extremely tough for you all these years!"
They heard a sigh coming from Master Sword's spiritual soul tablet.
Soon after, a figure emerged out of it.
It was the figure of a lean yet hardy old man with a peaceful smile on his face.
"Oh, Master! It is really you!
No, it was not tough at all!
But I cannot deny that I have been missing you and my four seniors!"
Sword Son Curry broke into sobs. It was as though a heavy weight had been lifted off his chest. Finally,
he felt like he had someone to rely on again after seeing his master's figure.
"Sir, I am honored to be in your presence!"
Austin's face turned pale and immediately bowed to the figure. He had no idea that there was a trace of
Master Sword's spiritual soul hidden inside the spiritual tablet.
However, it seemed to him that its energy was rather weak.
It was barely even a wisp of spiritual soul energy. But surely, a little bit of it was attached to the spiritual
tablet.
"Ha-ha! Young man, you have suffered through a lot of challenges just to get us back. For that, we are
grateful!"
Master Sword glanced at Austin and gave him a faint smile.
"Master, if I may ask, where are you and the four seniors now?"
Sword Son Curry couldn't help it. He had to know whether they would still be coming back.
"Unfortunately, I don't know either.
Curry, all I can tell you for now is to just leave it up to fate.
If I were still alive, then I would return eventually,"
Master Sword gave him some words of comfort.
"But no matter what happens, I hope that you can remain strong and live on."
Master Sword said with a gentle smile.
"Master, I understand."
Sword Son Curry responded in between sobs.
"Well, that is good to hear."
Master Sword nodded with satisfaction. Slowly, his figure began to dissipate and went back into the
spiritual tablet.
"Thank you, Austin! I am truly grateful for this."
Sword Son Curry bowed slightly to express his sincere gratitude.
"You are most welcome!
I have also gained a lot ever since I entered the Sword Cosmos.
So to be perfectly honest, it's me that should thank you for giving me this great opportunity,"
Austin expressed his genuine appreciation of Sword Son Curry.
With utmost care, Sword Son Curry placed the spiritual tablets of Master Sword and his four seniors in
the center of the sword shrine.
"Well, Austin. Am I right to assume that you already got my master's swords?"
Sword Son Curry asked him with a smile on his face.
"Yes. I have them right here."
As Austin waved his hand, tens of millions of long swords emerged and floated in front of them both.
"Truly, these are the swords that my master had collected."
Sword Son Curry gazed at the numerous floating swords. His eyes seemed distracted. It was as
though he was trying to reminisce the past.
These swords had reminded him of the days when he was still with his master and seniors. During that
time, they were the ones who ruled the Sword Cosmos together.
"Master was fond of collecting famous swords. It was one of his favorite hobbies.
Each of these swords has an extraordinary origin and tale," he recalled.
Sword Son Curry let out a sigh. Seeing these swords again brought him a sense of nostalgia.
"Alright. Now, I will fulfill my end of the bargain.
I will smelt these long swords and use them to create a flying sword for you.
As a matter of fact, this method was passed down to me by my master.
Master had corresponding arrays and runes engraved into each of these swords. Therefore, it will not
be difficult to make them into a flying sword,"
Sword Son Curry explained to Austin.
"Ah, I understand. You have my utmost thanks!"
Austin was obviously overjoyed when he heard that.
"Don't worry about it. I'm a man of my word. What I promised will surely be done for you."
With a single wave of his hand, Sword Son Curry had put away all the swords into his sleeve.
"However, smelting and refining it will take some time.
How about I send you a spiritual message as soon as I finish it?"
Sword Son Curry suggested, as he smiled genuinely at Austin.
"Alright. Then I'll head back to the three thousand big and small universes first,"
Austin agreed.
As soon as he bid Sword Son Curry farewell, Austin rushed back towards the three thousand big and
small universes.
After being away from the three thousand big and small universes for such a long period of time, Austin
clearly missed it. Most especially, he missed the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
To boost his travel speed, Austin employed the bodily movement skill, the law of reincarnation, law of
time, and law of space simultaneously.
In addition to that, Austin was now supported by the sword aura as well.
Therefore, it was safe to say that there weren't many governing gods in the Sea of Chaos that could
compete with Austin in terms of speed.
It only took him a short while to reach his destination.
Soon enough, he could already see the three thousand big and small universes.
Austin immediately released his spiritual sense to perceive everything around it.
'Good. Everything's fine,' he thought.
After confirming that they were in good condition, Austin's spiritual sense had become more relaxed.
With one swift motion,
Austin had finally reached the void above the three thousand big and small universes.
"Austin, you've returned!"
It was Santos who had first sensed Austin's aura. Naturally, he felt thoroughly elated and surprised that
Austin had returned.
With a slight wave of his hand, Santos opened a gap on the Grand Geomancy Array to let Austin in.
The three thousand big and small universes were completely closed off to everything around. The
whole place was completely under the protection of the array. No one was allowed to enter or leave it
without Santos' permission.
"Master, was there any trouble here the past few weeks?"
Austin asked Santos.
"No. Fortunately, there wasn't.
Right now, the super forces in the Sea of Chaos are all keeping very low profiles. They seldom show up
as well.
However, some weak forces have been relatively active. They seem like the main figures here in the
Sea of Chaos.
But for the time being, there's no other force that has the audacity to provoke the three thousand big
and small universes,"
Santos briefly informed Austin of the recent developments.
"Meanwhile, those super forces are all making thorough preparations to deal with Ronnie.
Indeed. It would be pointless for them to spend their valuable time dealing with the other forces.
As of now, Ronnie is the biggest unforeseeable trouble in the entire Sea of Chaos,"
Austin said, as he analyzed all the current information he had.
"You're absolutely right."
Santos nodded in agreement.
"Well, then. We should also start making preparations.
The three thousand big and small universes should be tightly closed off from the outside worlds until
we confirm that Ronnie is dead,"
Austin declared.
"Understood."
Santos was in total agreement with him.
After their talk, Austin promptly returned to the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
"Austin! You're finally back!"
Kevin appeared as soon as Austin landed on the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
"Master Kevin! How's the Fallen Immortal Cosmos at this moment?"
Austin inquired.
"As of now, there have been more than two hundred local divine gods born here!
Speaking of divine gods, I've become one!"
Kevin reported excitedly.
"Congratulations, Master Kevin!"
Austin was genuinely happy for Kevin.
Certainly, Kevin was now an ordinary preliminary-grade divine god.
For Austin, Kevin's current ability was still too weak.
Nevertheless, Austin was still satisfied with his progress.
"Our Fallen Immortal Cosmos is now a chaotic ancient kingdom in terms of universe grade. Two
hundred divine gods are still not enough.
Nonetheless, I believe there will be more in the future,"
Austin said confidently.
"That's true. Right now, the overall strength of the Fallen Immortal Cosmos is the strongest one among
the three thousand big and small universes,"
Kevin said proudly.
