Chapter 3053 The Heavenly Court

Austin stood still to take a closer look. To his surprise, he found that the temple had gone deep into the ground and had disappeared.

"Damned you evil spirits, where are you going to hide?"

Austin could not help but feel agitated as he recalled what happened a moment ago in the temple. A wisp of Elliot's soul tried to control him, but fortunately did not succeed.

Austin clearly knew what would happen if he became Elliot's puppet; Elliot would be able to manipulate his every move and thought.

Since he was furious at the thought of being use by Elliot to fulfill his evil plan, Austin was unwilling to let go of the evil spirits that easily.

Thus, he used his special skill to travel underground at high speed.

Although Austin's vital energy realm was low for the time being, his physical strength was enough to display the Earth Formula and the secret skill passed from the red demonic mouse.

Although his speed was relatively reduced compared from his normal rate, he was determined to move forward without stopping.

At the same time, he also used the Earth-energy Manipulating Skill, one of the techniques of the Earth Formula, to chase his target. Through that, he had the advantage of communicating and sensing the Earth Energy at a far distance.

Soon, Austin found traces of the temple, and immediately headed for that direction.

However, the temple was moving at lightning speed.

Besides, the array deployed to protect the temple kept emitting a mysterious space energy to prevent Austin from perceiving its whereabouts.

"The ancient temple is so peculiar."

Austin had been in pursuit of the temple for more than an hour. However, a sense of frustration seized upon him as he slowly lost its trace.

Since he was committed to find the temple, he did not want to give up. Thus, he used the Earth-energy Manipulating Skill again to trigger and detect any Earth energies nearby in the hopes of finding the ancient temple.

"Whoa. What the hell? What is that?"

Austin suddenly felt something strange.

Through his spiritual sense, he discovered that there was a small temple about ten thousand meters away deep under the ground.

The old, dilapidated temple looked small and shabby.

Austin rushed hurriedly in excitement.

Finally, he came upon the small underground temple.

"Well, that's weird. This temple is not the one I'm looking for, and is so much smaller."

Austin sent his spiritual sense to observe the temple as he approached it. He was certain that it was not Elliot's temple.

"Wow. Thank you so much for expelling Elliot. He has caused

e divine beings left here on Earth. I found out later that some of them have died, while others hid from this world.

In addition to that, I learned that the star cluster where Earth is located has been sealed by some great mysterious power.

Anyway, I had no choice but to continue my cultivation here.

What I did not expect was that a group of gangsters would barge in and rob my temple from me!

They were the portions of the souls left by Elliot and his 81 loyal followers on Earth," the middle-aged man explained to Austin.

Austin and the mountain god sat on the cushions and talked for hours over a cup of tea. Austin didn't even notice from where the mountain god fetched the tea pot and the tea cups as he was too absorbed in the latter's story.

"So the Heavenly Court, Jade Emperor, and Queen Siobhan really existed during the ancient times?"

Austin asked with disbelief and amazement.

"Yes, they really existed. The Heavenly Court was an omnipotent power that ruled everything in the universe.

Jade Emperor was the core leader of the Heavenly Court, and he had numerous divine gods and generals under his control. He was extremely powerful.

Back in the day, I was just an inferior general of the Heavenly Court.

Although my rank was very low, I could still enjoy the tributes from the mortals and had a name in the earthly world,"

the middle-aged man said as he recalled his glorious days in the past.

"My gosh! I never expected that the Heavenly Court and such legendary figures as the Jade Emperor are really true..."

The mountain god's stories had taken Austin's breath away. He was astounded to discover that the myths and fables that he had heard as a child were actually based on facts!
