Standing in the Spirit Cosmos, Austin couldn't help but marvel at his surroundings.
"The law of spiritual soul here is so dazzling and pure!" he remarked in awe.
Unlike in other places, the law of spiritual soul was spread out everywhere in the Spirit Cosmos like colorful ribbons.
Even the energy here was mainly the spiritual soul energy.
With these properties, the Spirit Cosmos was no doubt the most suitable place for the survival and cultivation of the spiritual race.
It was a favorable environment for Austin as well, since he could improve his spiritual sense if he cultivated here.
As he looked around, he found that there were all kinds of creatures and races living in the Spirit Cosmos. They were flitting around like birds, making the whole space look very lively and creating a false sense of freedom.
After all, Austin knew that most of the creatures in the Spirit Cosmos were slaves of the spiritual race.
The spiritual race frequently took the souls of other living creatures, leaving only empty shells behind.
"Be careful. Any of the creatures here could be a member of the spiritual race,"
Esther said to Austin through spiritual sense. She seemed to be on edge, her eyes constantly darting around to sense any potential danger.
On the other hand, Austin stood there calmly with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry. I'm very familiar with the spiritual race," he replied.
As a matter of fact, he owned a spiritual tree and a spiritual dragon. Moreover, he had practiced the secret method of the Puppet Strings, which was a technique that belonged to the spiritual race. Naturally, he was very familiar with the spiritual race.
The Spirit Cosmos was an enormous place that spanned over several stars and planets, so Austin and Esther walked for a long time, just observing their surroundings.
Along the way, they hardly encountered any member of the spiritual race. On the contrary, they saw a lot of creatures from other races everywhere.
"The spiritual race is a very strange race. They prefer to hide in the dark rather than show up in public,"
Esther explained to Austin.
"Yes, I understand."
Austin nodded in acknowledgment.
He released his spiritual sense to look for the divine gods of the spiritual race, but didn't manage to obtain any useful information.
Of course, he had already expected this. Divine gods were superior to the rest of their race, so they tended to be more secretive and would rarely show up in public.
"What are you looking for?
Tell me. Maybe I can help.
When I was a child, I often came here with my father. My father and the chief of the spiritual race go way back.
All in all, I'm quite familiar with the Spirit Cosmos,"
Esther said, noticing that Austin seemed to be looking for something.
"I'm looking for the divine gods of the spiritual race,"
Austin replied, feeling a hint of appreciation in his mind. Esther was proving to be much more useful than he had originally expected her to be.
"Then you should go to the spiritual capital. That's where most of the divine gods reside,"
Esther said.
"The spiritual capital?" Austin echoed. He had actually heard of such a p
g from Austin, the guards turned pale with fright.
"Sir, please forgive us! We were wrong.
We would never dare to lay a finger on one of our masters," they cried pathetically.
Then, they all knelt down and kowtowed to Austin.
As the ones at the bottom of the hierarchy of the spiritual race, they naturally submitted to the one who they thought was a powerful master.
Even if the man in front of them were to kill them, there would be no justice for them, and they were well aware of this fact. So, they chose to plead for their lives instead.
"Well, it seems you're at least smart enough to apologize immediately. Fine, I will spare your lives! But you'd better not cross me a second time,"
Austin said fiercely.
When the guards raised their heads and saw Austin's eyes, which looked terrifying and filled with spiritual soul energy, they all trembled and quickly lowered their heads again, not daring to look him in the eyes.
Seeing this, Austin mentally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that his plan had worked.
"We can go into the city now!" Esther said excitedly through her spiritual sense.
However, this commotion had attracted the attention of the actual members of the spiritual race who happened to pass through the gate at that time.
Everyone was secretly observing Austin, who was at the center of the racket.
One of them, a man draped in golden clothes adorned with beautiful feathers, bravely stepped forward and politely greeted Austin, "Hello, sir. You possess formidable strength.
But there's something strange about you. I can't help but be curious. May I know your name?"
Although this man had stepped forward alone, a large group of people lingered behind him, as if silently standing there for support. It was obvious that this man was no ordinary person.
Austin could tell at a glance that although the man's body belonged to a human, the soul resident inside the body was actually a member of the spiritual race.
"Who are you?
Why should I tell you my name?
Go away. Don't bother me!"
he said in the same arrogant tone that he had used on the guards.
