"Fine.
Austin, you are hurt. Go heal yourself.
Your luck seems to have drained,
so you must get it back as soon as possible,"
the yellow-robed elder said.
"I will."
Austin nodded at him.
Austin was weak
and he knew that he needed to heal himself.
He had created two copies of himself through Triple Avatar Skill and each was from a different period.
Just one of his versions getting injured
would hurt him gravely.
Therefore, Austin had to heal himself right now.
"Sirs, I'm going now," Austin said as he bowed to the five sword spirits.
Then he turned into a beam of light and rushed up the Divine Sword Mountain. Once he reached the
peak, he entered the palace, sat in a cross-legged position, and began to heal his wounds.
This palace was where Master Sword used to cultivate.
It was full of energy and laws of swordsmanship. Austin would gain the best cultivation from learning
here.
'You stupid hand, I don't care what you are.
You almost killed me today.
That means I will have to find my revenge.
Watch out because one day, I will smash you to pieces!'
Austin swore inwardly.
If he hadn't performed the Triple Avatar Skill and the five sword spirits hadn't come to his rescue in
time, he might not have escaped with his life.
It was truly a narrow escape,
so there was no way that he would let this go.
He promised himself that once he was strong enough, he would come back and fight the Hand of
Heaven once more.
Now that that was settled,
Austin began to heal himself.
To heal, he needed to use the cultivation method of the Triple Avatar Skill and create a new version of
himself in his next life.
As for his physical injures, he didn't really care much. From past experience, he knew it wouldn't take
long to feel better.
There were almost no wounds that he couldn't heal.
While he was busy healing,
a group of powerful figures arrived at the bottom of Divine Sword Mountain.
They were being followed by numerous other people that surrounded the entirety of the mountain.
"I'm positive.
He's on the Divine Sword Mountain,"
a governing god said in a low voice.
"Austin is the successor of Sword Son Curry.
What I don't get is why he came here more than once."
"I think he might have come back to cultivate.
The Divine Sword Mountain is the best place for sword cultivators to cultivate."
"Well, I think that Sword Son Curry has sent him to look for treasure.
After all, the Divine Sword Mountain is where Master Sword used to cultivate.
Maybe Master Sword left some valuable things here, and Sword Son Curry sent that brat to retrieve
them."
More than a dozen governing gods were hiding in the void around the Divine Sword Mountain,
discussing what Austin was up to using their spiritual senses.
The only reason that they had shown up was to capture Austin.
"It doesn't matter what he wants from the Divine Sword Mountain.
What matters is that he is Sword Son Curry's successor.
Sword Son Curry is our enemy.
As long as he is still alive, we will never be able to live in peace.
So we must track him down and terminate him.
If we want to find him, Austin is the key.
We can't let him get away,"
one of the governing gods said.
"You are right.
We need to be careful."
All the other governing gods nodded in agreement.
"How about this? We can go up the Divine Sword Mountain and stalk him.
Last time, we underestimated him and he got away.
If we can keep him in our sight, that won't happen again,"
the other governing god said.
"That's a good idea.
Let's go now.
He's got nowhere to run this time."
After a couple minutes, the governing gods had developed what they thought was a fool-proof plan.
They activated their bodily movement skills and dashed up the Divine Sword Mountain.
Since they were top-notch masters in the Sword Cosmos, they were permitted to climb the mountain.
The five sword spirits had no reason to stop them.
There were rules to the Divine Sword Mountain and although the five sword spirits liked Austin and
wanted to protect him, they couldn't break them.
A moment later,
the governing gods reached the peak.
"The brat is in that palace.
That's where Master Sword used to cultivate in seclusion.
We can't get inside!"
"See!
I told you! Sword Son Curry sent this brat here to look for the treasures that Master Sword left."
"It's fine. It doesn't matter why he's here. We'll just wait for him to come out.
He won't get away this time!"
The governing gods sat cross-legged in the void around the palace. It didn't matter how long it might
take. They weren't going to leave.
In the palace, Austin spotted the governing gods outside with the aid of his spiritual sense.
"It's them again!" he murmured to himself as he shook his head.
Every time he set foot in the Sword Cosmos, these governing gods would try to capture him.
Although he felt upset about it,
he sighed and decided to ignore them.
Instead, he focused on healing himself.
After all, that was his top priority.
Back in the Sea of Chaos,
a powerful figure was sitting in a cross-legged position in a closed space.
His eyes were shut and he didn't say anything.
All of a sudden, he burst into laughter.
"This is only a minor injury,"
he murmured to himself as he stood.
It was none other than Humphrey.
His mouth had been damaged by Austin, so he had stayed here to heal himself.
"But this wound is humiliating enough that
I will make you pay with your life.
This chaotic space is ruled by me.
All the creatures here are my slaves.
You're a slave too, even if you don't know it yet.
Austin, if I don't kill you, how am I going to establish my authority in front of my slaves?"
Humphrey left the closed space and walked around the Sea of Chaos.
At the same time, he unleashed his spiritual sense to scan for Austin.
"Austin, come out!"
Humphrey's booming voice echoed throughout the Sea of Chaos.
