Besides, Austin had experience with speaking to people who lived in the past.
Previously, Austin met a monk in the supreme universe which was located in the Ninth Evil Valley of the
Sea of Chaos.
The monk had called Austin's Reincarnation Token the Number Nine Token and
he had also mentioned the collapse of the road of reincarnation and the eighteen reincarnation guards.
At the end of their meeting, Austin had asked him to impart a reincarnation skill to him and the monk
obliged.
The next time Austin met someone from the past was during his stay in the Heaven Beast Valley. He
had run into a Taoist priest in the Land of Void.
The Taoist priest had also referred to his Reincarnation Token as the Number Nine Token.
To Austin's great excitement, he had also predicted that Austin might be the key to rebuilding the road
of reincarnation and
taught him another reincarnation skill.
As he looked at the old lady in front of him, Austin was reminded of the monk and the Taoist priest and
hoped she would treat him the same.
"What?
Young man, is that that damn Taoist priest's aura I sense on you?" the old lady asked with a glimmer in
her eyes.
Before he could answer, she narrowed her eyes as if she could find the answer within him.
"And there's the old monk's aura too!"
The old woman raised her voice as her eyebrows shot upward dramatically.
"They each taught you a skill,
didn't they?
Tell me, where did you meet them?"
the old woman said emotionally.
"Madam, are you talking about these two secret skills?"
Much to Austin's astonishment, the old woman was familiar with the Taoist priest and the monk he had
met. He quickly displayed the two skills they had taught him.
All around them, runes flew into the air and the room was filled with reincarnation energy.
"I was right.
Those are the skills that the old monk and the stupid Taoist priest practiced.
You did meet them!"
the old woman exclaimed.
Now that it was confirmed, Austin took a moment to fill her in on how he had encountered the monk
and the Taoist priest.
"I see. You also stumbled upon them.
I thought I caught a whiff of them in this space a while back,"
the old woman said, appearing much calmer than before.
"And the token in your pocket is the Number Nine Token.
Since you possess the Number Nine Token, it means that you are destined to have a connection to the
reincarnation race.
In the future, there is a chance that you will participate in the reconstruction of the road of
reincarnation,"
the old woman said.
"Madam, may I ask about the road of reincarnation?
Does it really exist?
Was it really destroyed?"
Austin asked quickly, afraid she would scold him for his curiosity.
"Young man, we can't mess with or talk about the road of reincarnation or we will face grave
consequences.
One day, you will get your answers; but not now," the old woman answered in warning tone.
Just like the others,
she refused to answer Austin's question.
"Got it.
Madam, since you believe our meeting was fate,
I was wondering if you could teach me a skill,"
Austin requested, despite it being their first time meeting.
Since he had already requested that the monk and the Taoist priest pass on a martial arts skill to him
and been successful,
he didn't feel as embarrassed to make his request this time.
"What?"
Apparently, the old woman had been caught off guard by his question.
"You little rascal..."
A smile was now spreading on her face.
"Now that the old monk and that stupid Taoist priest taught you skills, I will be kind.
Would you like to learn a martial arts skill?
It is not related to reincarnation.
It's a spiritual soul secret skill."
As she spoke, the old woman waved her hand. From the sky above, a beam of light shone straight into
Austin's Soul Sea.
"Thank you so much, madam!" Austin gushed.
Austin hadn't expected that the old woman would agree to his request so quick.
If he didn't have the Reincarnation Token in his possession, she would have likely turned him down.
After all, that was the sole reason why the monk and the Taoist priest had imparted martial skills onto
him.
The three of them all believed that Austin would take part in rebuilding the road of reincarnation one
day.
Hence, they wanted him to have new skills so he could be prepared.
"No problem. Remember to cultivate hard,"
the old woman said, shooting Austin a motherly look.
Then, the stone bridge and the old woman in front of him started to fade.
"Madam, will we ever meet again?"
Austin asked.
"Well, I can't say what will happen in the future,
but if the road of reincarnation can be rebuilt, there is a chance."
With that,
the old woman and the stone bridge vanished into thin air with a quiet pop.
All the illusions fell away and Austin was left by himself in the secret room.
"No way! I never thought that the secret skill related to reincarnation that Master Rumble taught me
would provide me with this experience,"
Austin exclaimed, smiling widely.
When he came here, he didn't expect that he would meet an ancient person who was related to the
road of reincarnation.
All of a sudden,
something occurred to him.
"Wait!
Master Rumble also taught me a brilliant secret skill related to reincarnation.
Does he have something to do with the reincarnation race?
Is he a member of the reincarnation race?"
Austin asked himself, feeling more questions he might never get answers to pouring in.
"Guess I'm really getting involved now,"
Austin said with a bitter smile.
The Reincarnation Token had brought all of this about but
he still felt like he knew nothing about the road of reincarnation.
"Well, maybe I'll get my answers one day,"
Austin said.
Realizing he needed to be patient, Austin focused on the secret skill the old woman had given him and
began to practice.
'It is a secret skill related to the spiritual soul.
It is called Soul-cleansing Skill!' he thought to himself.
"Wow! This isn't like any skill I've learned before!"
Austin commented as he saw what this new spiritual soul skill was capable of.
The Soul-cleansing Skill was efficient in dealing with spiritual souls.
With the aid of it, one could remove all the memory, emotion, and sub-consciousness of a creature's
spiritual soul.
Taking all of this out would cause the spiritual soul to become a vessel of pure spiritual soul energy.
The creature would become a shell with
no aspects of life left
other than an intact spiritual soul.
Of course, one could choose to only remove part of his enemy's memory and thoughts with the skill.
"The Puppet Strings enables me to control the spiritual soul, while the Soul-cleansing Skill can be used
to obliterate the spiritual soul,"
Austin murmured to himself.
The anticipation of having so much control caused Austin to focus hard and master the skill quickly.
With his current spiritual sense, he could easily master most skills related to the spiritual soul.
"I've finally finished my training."
After successfully mastering the Soul-cleansing Skill, Austin stood and walked out of the secret
room.
