"Some demonic skills are very strange and magical. For one, not only can they be used to take

another person's body, but they can also be used to fuse another person's remains. They are really

hard to defend yourself against. You were really lucky to have survived.

However, the demonic energy that you have inside your body is far beyond the amount that the

human body can handle. So, simply put, the demonic energy inside of you may end up harming you

one day.

Keep in mind that demonic energy is also a kind of evil energy, and when it accumulates and

reaches a certain amount in your body, it will inevitably invade your Soul Sea and affect your

spiritual soul and will.

In the end, you will most likely become a demon who can only think about killing.

But as of now, your spiritual soul and will do not seem to have been invaded by demonic energy

just yet.

This, I think, is very strange.

But nevertheless, you should still remember to be careful from now on. I would strongly advise you

to rid your body of any demonic energy, just in case it causing you any unknown damage,”

Godwin remind Austin earnestly.

"Thanks for the warning,”

Austin replied, sincerely grateful for Godwin's well-meaning advice.

"I'll make sure to pay more attention to it."

In hindsight, Austin was already well aware of what Godwin said.

He knew that demonic energy really wasn't suitable for human cultivators.

If there was too much demonic energy in a human cultivator's body, then sooner or later, it would

invade his Soul Sea, and affect his spiritual soul and will. In the long run, the cultivator with demonic

energy would likely turn into a demon.

But there was something that Godwin did not know: as a matter of fact, Austin actually had an

invaluable treasure in his Soul Sea—the spiritual tree.

This particular treasure that Austin was in possession of could refine all kinds of energy and

transform it into spiritual sense.

Therefore, the reason why Austin was able to store huge amounts of demonic energy without being

harmed by it was that the demonic energy that invaded his Soul Sea had actually been refined by

the spiritual tree.

Additionally, in each piece of land, the existence, distribution, and movement of the Earth Energy

had a fixed law.

This energy was the flow of the earth!

But in order to practice the Earth Formula, cultivators should first understand the flow of the earth.

This was exactly what Austin was doing. In that moment, he was actually immersed in feeling the

flow of the earth as far as tens of thousands of meters around him.

He was so focused on what he was doing that before he knew it, he had already been practicing for

two hours, then four hours, then six hours...

Austin stood so motionless on the peak of the mountain that it seemed as though he had been

petrified.

After a while, Austin became aware of the distribution of the flow of the Earth Energy in the

surrounding land.

In what seemed like no time at all, the day soon passed without Austin noticing it.

Finally, after many, many hours of practicing, Austin had a rough grasp of the flow of the earth

around him.

Now that he was done with the first step, the next step was for Austin to try to cultivate the Energy-

controlling Skill.

The Energy-controlling Skill was a method of driving the Earth Energy to form an attack.

More specifically, it was a way of taking advantage of the Earth Energy in the ground in order to

attack enemies.

After several hours of standing still, Austin launched the Demonic Teleportation Skill and instantly

left the peak of the mountain to go to a nearby plain.

Austin made sure to be far away from anything he could wreck because the practice of the Energy-

controlling Skill was sure to cause damage to the surrounding environment.

And since the peak of the mountain was Master Li's retreat, Austin wouldn't dare destroy it, so he

moved to another place to practice.

When he landed on the plain, Austin first unleashed his spiritual sense on the plain to perceive the

new land he was standing on now.

After a moment, his hands fluttered as he performed various skills and quickly walked forward with

strange footwork.

As he moved forward, Austin hit the ground with several different kinds of skills.

He didn't stop until he had already walked a kilometer.

Then, he turned around and looked at the path he had just taken.

“Blast!”

Austin shouted, stomping his foot.

Boom! Boom! All of a sudden, there was a loud rumbling sound.

And waves of earthy yellow energy, each as thick as an arm, burst from the ground that Austin had

just walked past.

With that, innumerable deep holes appeared on the ground behind him

"Wow, the Energy-controlling Skill truly is amazing!"

Austin couldn't help but marvel at what he saw.

"This can definitely help a warrior easily defeat the enemy if used as a surprise attack.

Unfortunately, I am still too weak, so the power of the Earth Energy that I am able to drive is still too

small," Austin said in dismay.

It was very clear that he was not satisfied with his current level—he truly wanted to achieve so much

more.

So, he continued to practice the Energy-controlling Skill on the plain relentlessly.

After just a day, the plain was unrecognizable. What once was a flat clearing was now a mess, and

not an inch of it was free of potholes.
