All the cultivation methods and martial arts recorded in these jade slips were related to swordsmanship.
In the days that followed, Austin began immersing himself in the cultivation of swordsmanship.
There was a brilliant sword technique recorded in every single jade slip.
Everyone was aware that the Great Library had been established by the three Lords of Reincarnation.
The collections of cultivation methods and martial arts skills in it were all very rare and advanced.
Ordinary cultivation methods and martial arts skills did not attract the attention of the Lords of
Reincarnation.
It was little surprise then that Austin gained a lot from practicing these new sword techniques.
Especially the one called the Origin of Swordsmanship.
Although it made no mention of any specific cultivation method, it provided a more comprehensive and
in-depth explanation of many facets of swordsmanship, and could even be said to be the very essence
of it!
After studying this jade slip dozens of time, Austin found that he had developed a deep understanding
of the essence of swordsmanship. What was more, he was forming his own comprehension of, and
insights into it.
There was no doubt that the Origin of Swordsmanship had greatly improved his cultivation base in
swordsmanship.
"Perhaps now I will be able to display the true power of the World-slashing Swordsmanship!"
Austin exclaimed joyfully.
He was referring to the sword skill Master Sword had taught him in the Sword Cosmos.
Although Austin had managed to master it, he always thought he could do better. And now, after
studying the Origin of Swordsmanship, he suddenly found that the numerous problems he had
encountered in the past, could now be solved quite easily.
"I suppose I'll cultivate the World-slashing Swordsmanship right away!"
Austin said determinedly.
He had promised Master Sword that he would perfectly master it.
But much time had past and he still hadn't succeeded in his mission. He felt a little guilty about it.
However, his hope had now been renewed and he couldn't wait to cultivate.
Time continued flowing on ahead,
and decades passed without him noticing.
Around thirty years later.
Austin was sitting cross-legged, like an old monk deep in meditation. Suddenly, his eyes flashed open.
"I've done it! It seems I have successfully taken the World-slashing Swordsmanship to a higher level!"
Austin yelled, his excitement bursting.
He waved his hand and a sword-light shot out.
It rushed out of the small world where he was cultivating in seclusion, and then out of the remote space
sea. The sword-light continued soaring far off, through the Absolute Space Sea.
Under Austin's control, it continued charging into one space sea after another, flying through them all.
He felt that if he wanted to attack anything in any space sea, all it would take was a thought to make it
happen.
Finally, after passing through fifteen space seas, the energy slowly gave out and the sword-light faded
into nothing.
A single sword-light had slashed through more than ten space seas in a row!
"This is the real power of the World-slashing Swordsmanship!"
Austin yelled out.
"Of course, I am only just beginning to master this skill. It's capable of far more.
If I cultivated to the highest level, I'd be able to kill targets in hundreds or even thousands of space
seas, with just a single slash!
Even ordinary governing gods of chaos might not be able to achieve such a feat!
I cannot believe that this sword skill, taught to me by Master Sword all those years ago, is so powerful!"
Austin exclaimed in disbelief.
"That swordsmanship is incredibly powerful!"
The three Lords of Reincarnation had witnessed Austin executing the World-slashing Swordsmanship.
They all could not help but marvel at the brillaince they had seen. "That swordsmanship seems so
familiar.
I feel as though I've seen it before!"
one of the Lords of Reincarnation remarked.
"Yes, I seem to remember it as well.
All that time ago, in the Absolute Space Sea, there was a master who was quite proficient in
swordsmanship. He called himself Master Sword.
He did not belong to any force or sect. He came and went on his own, at a whim. But few dared
provoke him still, becasue of his incredible talents in swordsmanship.
I once went to him and invited him to join us. In the end, he refused me.
The swordsmanship Austin just displayed appears to be the inheritance of that same Master Sword.
I had not expected Austin to have something like that,"
added another Lord of Reincarnation.
"Shall we ask Austin about it so we can know where Master Sword is?"
the third Lord of Reincarnation suggested.
"We'd better not.
Master Sword is not very sociable. He prefers to be alone and dislikes others disturbing him for no
reason.
It'd be best for us to not look for him.
Austin is not only fortunate to have met him, but to get the inheritance of his swordsmanship as well.
It's truly magnificent.
But that is none of our business. There is no need for us inquire further,"
one of the Lords of Reincarnation said after taking it into consideration.
"Yes, you're right."
The other two Lords of Reincarnation nodded in agreement.
Austin spent some time during the following days consolidating his World-slashing Swordsmanship.
It was not until he had made a little achievements in the technique that he realized just how terrifying it
was. He now attached great importance to it.
More than a decade flew by rapidly.
One day, Austin left the small world he had been cultivating in.
"Hey, how's it going, Austin? You must have gained a lot from your cultivation after all these years,
right?"
a Lord of Reincarnation asked with a pleasant smile.
"My fighting capacity is at least a hundred times stronger than before.
It seems that cultivating the Illusion Skill of Reincarnation in particular was beneficial. Now, even if I met
a god of chaos, I could handle it with ease.
I should thank the three of you. To be honest, I don't think I could have made such great progress
without you,"
Austin replied.
"You're welcome, Austin. You're our reincarnation race's hope. We're counting on you to help our race
rise again in the future.
The stronger you become, the more hope there is for the reincarnation race to get back to power.
That being said, there is something I want to remind you of. Your fighting capacity is indeed very strong
now.
You are likely invincible among the governing gods.
But you still cannot defeat a god of chaos.
The biggest thing holding you back is your realm. It is too low. I advise you to spend more time in
breaking through the realm. For the time being at least, I do not think you need to focus too much on
improving your combat effectiveness,"
a Lord of Reincarnation said to Austin.
"I understand, sir.
From now on, I will try my best to break through in my realm,"
Austin nodded respectfully.
Truthfully, he was already aware of this problem.
The leader of the Reincarnation Palace, Tanya and Diego, now also came out of their small own world
where they had been cultivating in seclusion.
Austin could tell that they too had gained a lot from all their years of cultivation.
Everyone of them had improved their combat effectiveness a great deal.
