The Supreme God

With the vital energy unleashed from the point of the sword and in a respectful manner, Austin moved the bones of the Great Sage Cloud into the grave he had just dug. He then buried the shell of this once powerful cultivator with sand and soil from the cave. A pile of mound was made to serve as his tomb.

To further show his respect for the dead, Austin stepped back and bowed to the heap for a few moments, before he turned his attention to the little silver ball on the bed.

'Could this be some kind of treasure?' he wondered. This might explain why the Great Sage Cloud kept it hidden under his body even during his final moments.

After hesitating for a while, Austin went up and took the ball in his hand, studying it carefully.

However, the very instant when his breath touched the ball, it suddenly started vibrating. A burst of silver light emanated from within. Austin narrowed his eyes in order to see through the dazzling light, and discovered some words hovering in the air.

"He who would help me rest in peace must uphold honesty and faith. All my life I have appreciated the honorable and despise the opposite. An honorarium is thus waiting for you." Austin read the words as the silver light kept illuminating the space.

"This silver ball is a crystallization of my lifetime's achievements. Take it as a reward and use it well."

Before Austin could even digest the words, the words slowly disappeared after lingering in the air for a few more seconds.

'What does he mean, the crystallization of what he has achieved? Does it have something to do with cultivation?'

Questions began erupting inside Austin's head like fireworks. He still stared blankly at the place where those words once rested after they were gone.

The next instant, instead of being enlightened with the words he just saw, Austin was struck by a refreshing wave of light. In his surprise, Austin saw the fist-sized silver ball shake more violently, and suddenly it exploded with a light but clear sound.

The light did not fade away, but the ball turned into a cloud of thick silver smoke that rushed towards Austin, surrounding him and eventually enveloping him.

The next thing he knew, a refined force surged rapidly through his entire body. He could feel that it was a high-quality vital energy force which enveloped him. In the blink of an eye, Austin was unable to move a single muscle.

Then, as Austin struggled to free himself, the silver smoke began to flow, and seeped in his body through his pores and acupoints.
