At this point in Austin's cultivation, he had already stored a substantial amount of great cosmos force in
his body.
So far, this advanced energy had already occupied a certain proportion in his body.
The aura it gave off was beyond Austin's imagination. His strength grew more and more powerful with
each passing second.
His entire physique gleamed―a dazzling divine light, which made him look sacred and solemn.
As if they were alive, mysterious runes hovered and wandered around his body, and in his blood and
flesh. There was a warm and familiar glow all over.
This sight was an unusual phenomenon―these radiant runes could only be seen when one's physical
body was cultivated to the extreme.
"I can feel it!" Austin excitedly exclaimed. "I am indeed much stronger!"
He could feel it coursing in his veins, in his system, in every fiber of his being. Immense power surged
in his body like untamable waves of the sea.
"Unparalleled power is coursing within me!"
Austin murmured confidently to himself. Even he was astounded with this progress.
'Of course, this is just the beginning!
My next goal is to change all the energy in my body into the great cosmos force!'
he mentally decided.
Over the past few years, Austin had been cultivating in seclusion. Hence, the proportion of the great
cosmos force in his body was about one-tenth by now.
Before he started, the ratio inside him was roughly around one over ten thousand.
One could only infer how much advancement he had undergone over the years―the energy structure
in Austin's body went in a qualitative leap.
His objective was to transform all the energy in his body into the great cosmos force to make it denser.
Although he was itching to achieve this state as soon as possible, he knew that developments like
these would take time, and rushing things could be counterproductive.
"It's best if I take a rest for now."
Austin stood up and walked out of the small world.
"Ah, yes! You have finally finished the cultivation in seclusion, master!"
Warner and Emmet were patiently waiting in the distance. When they saw Austin reappear, they were
beside themselves―they were enthusiastic to hear about what their master had to tell. Like lightning,
they turned into two streaks of light, swiftly moving in Austin's direction. In just a split second, they were
in front of their master, respectfully bowing.
"Yes, I have."
Austin nodded slightly, acknowledging his two slaves.
"Wow! The great cosmos force you are emitting is truly compelling!"
Both of them felt the aura Austin released. They were thunderstruck!
Since they possessed a deeper understanding of the great cosmos force, they genuinely
comprehended the advancement Austin made.
"Master, you have stored so much great cosmos force in your body! This is amazing.
Warner and I also used to collect and use the chaotic great cosmos force to fight against our enemies.
However, we found it difficult to translate it into our own energy.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have to stay in the Ethereal World. We would have spread chaos and
dominated places farther!"
Emmet commended his master.
"I see.
I can grasp how it went for you guys,"
Austin responded, pondering over the two's situation before he subdued them with the red puppet
strings.
Years of cultivating the secret skill about the great cosmos force brought immense knowledge within
him. It felt like he was very proficient in it.
Warner and Emmet only cultivated part of the skill―their version was incomplete.
At best, they could only temporarily make use of the chaotic great cosmos force to increase their own
power when fighting against the enemy.
Refining and transforming the great cosmos force into their own energy was a very taxing mission for
them. It was challenging, and the progress it brought was slow.
Therefore, they were trapped in the Ethereal World, to some degree,
because this was the only place abundant with great cosmos force.
Once they left the Ethereal World, they would have no supply of enough great cosmos force. They
were entirely reliant on the provision the Ethereal World had.
However, Austin's case was different.
He had managed to cultivate the complete method!
In just a few years, he had absorbed and refined a great deal of great cosmos force.
As they stood in front of their master,
Warner and Emmet felt an incomparable energy from Austin.
"Master, we are delighted that you have succeeded in thoroughly learning this skill,"
Warner genuinely mentioned.
"That's right.
Your satisfaction is ours, master,"
Emmet echoed with a nod.
"By the way, more and more strangers have appeared around the Ethereal World these days.
I think they should be from the four major forces of the Sword Cosmos or the Blade Cosmos.
These governing gods look like they're going to stop at nothing, master,"
Warner suddenly informed.
"Yes.
I knew they wouldn't give up.
However, there is nothing to be afraid of. We will act accordingly.
Let them do what they like,"
he calmly ordered. Then, after a short pause, he asked,
"Give me an idea of the overall strength of the Ethereal World. How good is it?"
Donning a serious face, Austin directly looked at his slaves.
After subduing Warner and Emmet, the Ethereal World be functioning as one of Austin's strongholds
afterward.
"Master, the overall strength of the Ethereal World is quite praiseworthy.
Unfortunately, most of the creatures here are ferocious, bloodthirsty, and unruly.
These villains are all outlaws who are not afraid of death, and it is difficult to control them.
We are the ones in charge of this place and we are somewhat respected as leaders amongst them.
However, we actually can't control everything around here. It's more like we are just the nominal
leaders of this place.
Under normal circumstances, we just turn a blind eye to them and don't want to discipline them.
The Ethereal World is notorious for its unruly behavior.
Many creatures would just seek the Ethereal World for refuge. They are not our subordinates,"
Emmet explained.
"I see.
That won't be a problem.
From now on, I will reorganize the Ethereal World and make it my territory,"
Austin vowed.
He planned to turn the Ethereal World into his base in the Sword Cosmos.
Guarded by Warner and Emmet,
this place would be an ideal and safe place as his domain.
"Of course, master! We will do everything in our power to help you!"
Without missing a single beat, Warner and Emmet immediately agreed.
"Then, let's call all the divine gods in the Ethereal World here one by one. I want to see them,"
Austin commanded.
"Okay,"
Warner and Emmet replied. Then, they summoned the Twelve Ethereal Guards to call all the governing
gods to meet Austin.
When the divine gods received this order, they were curious―who was this mysterious man? They all
had come to see who he was.
Austin waited patiently in the starry sky, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Hello. Who are you, young man?
We were told that there was a new master summoning me here.
We may have missed him. Do you know who he is?"
a middle-aged man in a silver robe asked, addressing Austin with visible confusion etched on his face.
He was a genuine premium-grade divine god.
After receiving the order from Warner and Emmet, he came as he was told, ready to talk to the
enigmatic dignitary.
Surprisingly, he only encountered a young man upon his arrival.
He tried to see through his true strength but it was impossible―it was well-concealed.
"I was the one who summoned you,"
Austin replied calmly.
"Excuse me? Are you serious? I mean, young man, you..."
the man hesitantly questioned. Obviously, he refused to believe that this strange young man was the
infamous powerful cultivator they had heard about.
"Let's skip the pleasantries and go down to business!"
Under the control of Austin's mind, a large number of red puppet strings poured out and instantly
drowned him.
With Austin's current strength, subduing a genuine premium-grade divine god was an easy feat.
"Master."
Soon, the middle-aged man obediently bowed before him.
Then, the other divine gods in the Ethereal World came one by one. Austin made all of them his slaves.
More than ten thousand divine gods in the Ethereal World suddenly became Austin's slaves in just a
few minutes! Among them were ordinary divine gods and genuine divine gods.
In the end, they all became Austin's slaves.
He had them all subdued. The entire Ethereal World was now his.
"From now on, the Ethereal World will function as the headquarters of the Curry Sword Sect!"
Austin announced loudly as he released all his slaves out, standing in the starry sky.
When the Curry Sword Sect was just established, Austin had set up its headquarters in the Purple
Sword World.
However, everything about the Ethereal World was more ideal compared to the Purple Sword World.
Therefore, Austin decided to move the headquarters to the Ethereal World.
