"I will then cultivate in seclusion for a while,"
Austin informed Wilfred and the mermaid.
Since Austin had acquired more than twenty Illusionary Tokens, he had been eager to cultivate and fathom the law of illusion in them.
"All right, master.
I'll stand guard,"
Wilfred replied with a nod.
The mermaid knew that Austin was going to cultivate so he could learn more about the tokens.
At this point, Austin had teleported out over twenty genuine divine gods and ordered them to guard him as well.
Among those genuine divine gods, some were from the beast race, while the rest of them were from the Novel Court.
They were fighting over the Illusionary Tokens somewhere in the maze when Austin ran into them. Of course Austin took the tokens and then turned them into his own slaves after that.
"Whoa, master!
There are so many of them! Well, then. We'll all guard you while you cultivate."
Wilfred was both surprised and pleased as he set his eyes on the genuine divine gods.
When everyone got settled, Austin began his cultivation.
He brought out the Illusionary Tokens and kept them aloft in front of him.
He then sat down with his legs crossed and started to meditate.
Six days later, Austin opened his eyes with furrowed brows.
"It's been quite a while and I still can't enter the Major Achievement Stage of the law of illusion." Austin let out a heavy sigh.
Even after comprehending more than twenty Illusionary Tokens, he found that he was still at the Intermediate Stage of the law of illusion.
Although he now had a better understanding of the law of illusion, he was yet to enter the Major Achievement Stage.
'This law of illusion seems to be much more difficult to master compared to other laws, ' Aus
! Stay away from us, you bastards!"
While Austin and the mermaid went to further explore the maze, pleas coming from a distance reached their ears.
"Wait. Do you hear that? Those are my cousins!"
The mermaid was trembling, anxious or excited.
"I finally found them!
Please help them, Austin.
Before I entered the Land of Outlaw, my uncle repeatedly asked me to keep them safe.
If anything happens to them, I will surely live in guilt for the rest of my life,"
the mermaid asked Austin earnestly.
"Those are your... cousins?"
Austin couldn't conceal his surprise.
With the aid of his spiritual sense, Austin perceived a horde of genuine divine gods surrounding two girls.
The clothes that the two girls were wearing got torn into pieces, revealing their smooth, snow-white skin.
At this point, dozens of genuine divine gods surrounded and ogled at the exposed flawless bodies that had huddled up on the ground.
"They really are mermaids," Austin murmured.
He found that the auras they were emitting matched the aura of the mermaid beside him.
"Stop this! We have lived in peace for so long. Plus, our founders used to be friends.
