The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 2869 Merging (Part One)

"He actually made a breakthrough and reached the level of the genuine immortal!”

The two elders of the Divine Sect who witnessed Austin had their mouth agape, both impressed and dumbfounded that Austin had managed to succeed.

They thought that Austin hadn't accumulated enough experience and skills for that level. Under such a circumstance, enforcing himself to break through to the genuine immortal level was tantamount to committing suicide.

Apart from it, they both thought that Austin was too young to attain such a high level. Cultivators at the genuine immortal level were rare even in the Immortal World, much less in this inferior universe. Despite all this, Austin proved them wrong. He displayed his power in front of them—it was an appalling sight to behold. It was so frightening that it even made the heaven and earth tremble. He bathed in the Thunderstroke Doom and accomplished his breakthrough successfully.

"Genius! A born martial arts freak!"

The elders from the Divine Sect formulated no thoughts in their brains other than to register that they were in awe of the person before them.

"Fantastic! It seems that we have picked up the right person!"

The old skinny man and Peterson the Taoist Ancestor, laughed heartily. They couldn't help but feel pride swell in their hearts.

"Austin is so remarkable when it comes to marital arts. Still, he is too young and we trigger this breakthrough for him by force. It might do him harm to some extent by not following the natural course. I must do something to help him with that. I'll give him something to help him get a more solid cultivation base!"

The old man pointed his fingers towards Austin inside the chaotic void.

Bang!

With a thunderous noise, a golden stone statue that was half a meter high rushed through the chaotic void. It fleeted across the space from the far end and immediately entered their area. It then hovered around Austin's head.

Curious, the rest of them stepped nearer to see what it was. Upon closer observation, everybody saw that it was a statue of a cross-legged Arhat, which gave off a soft golden glow throughout. "You are so lucky, Austin!"

Princess Gracie looked at Austin with wonder and a hint of envy. There was a soft glimmer in her lucid eyes.

Of course, she had every reason to be a little envious of Austin. He had such an extraordinary talent and experience that was rare for others to attain. On top of it, there were lots of powerful cultivators who were willing to help him. He also had an amazing luck to go with it.

"What is it? What a gorgeous treasure! Is it... The Omnipotent Immortal Stone!" With their retinas seared with the glowing light of the statue, the two elders were awestruck with its majesty.

"Oh my gosh! Is there really such an amazing magic stone under the heaven? I always thought it was nothing but a myth!"

They could help but exclaim in disbelief. They had only heard of the statue in stories but never did it occur to them that they would see it in person.

"It is said that the Omnipotent Immortal Stone is as old as the oldest universe. It is a natural treasure generated when the very first universe was formed. It can merge into a cultivator's body, reinforcing his physical strength so that his body will never decay. The cultivator who has the Omnipotent Immortal Stone can go through hundreds of natural strokes or disasters. Its owner can easily kill cultivators at the same level even just with his physical strength.”

When Elder Orlando explained the origin of the Omnipotent Immortal Statue, his eyes lit up with greed.

"Ha-ha! That is indeed a remarkable treasure! You've stayed in the chaotic void for so long and found the Omnipotent Immortal Stone! Are you willing to present it to Austin? It must be a very hard decision!

If you're going to do so, I have to be generous as well." Peterson the Taoist Ancestor's voice was heard echoing in the Celestial Palace.

With a kindhearted smile, the old man clapped his hands gently.

Then, all of a sudden, a stream of colorful lights flooded the Celestial Palace and darted towards Austin's direction.

In a blink of an eye, the kaleidoscopic lights hovered above Austin's head.

The colorful lights turned out to be a flower consisting of seven petals, with each of them having a different hue.

The flower spun slowly, with a vague sound of the supreme enlightenment power heard in its core. The barely audible melody spread delicately in the air, encapsulating the whole place with its pleasant sound.

Everyone was immersed in its captivating melody. They felt as if there was a great sage sitting in the middle of the colorful flower and chanting the words of nature and its truths.

"No way! Is that the Flower of Law? The legendary flower of supreme enlightenment? Am I not wrong with my eyes?” Flabbergasted, the elders were once again taken aback with this rare treasure. "The Flower of Law is born with the great philosophy of nature and nourished with various kinds of supreme laws. Cultivators can merge it into their spiritual soul. With that flower in the spiritual soul, anybody can easily apprehended the laws of nature as if they were helped by god."

Spellbound with its beauty, the elders from the Divine Sect couldn't peel their eyes off the mystical flower.

They weren't very fluent in terms of martial arts, but they came from the Divine Sect, an ancient great force in an advanced universe. Naturally, they would be familiar about the rare treasures in many universes.

"Peterson, I didn't realize you actually have the Flower of Law! No you didn't! Is this the thing you obtained when you risked your life in the Devilish Pond many years back?"

Like the rest of them, the skinny old man was just as stunned.

"Yes, it is.

That was a hard journey, old man. There were more than ten senior cultivators like me entering that hell-like place in search of it. But I'm the only one who found it in the end. Must be luck, right? It looks like I'm the best cultivator among them!"
