'Pansion Grotto!
There were thirty-six sacred Taoist grottoes in the ancient times. Is the Pansion Grotto one of them?'
The name of the grotto surprised Austin, and he became curious about its origins.
The entrance of the grotto was guarded by an ancient array,
which would have prevented ordinary people from even seeing this grotto.
As usual, handling the array was a piece of cake for Austin.
He used the laws of space and time and broke through the array as if it were made of butter.
Crossing the threshold of the grotto,
he found himself inside a small world.
This was nothing else but the grotto itself, which was actually a small world hidden in plain sight.
The area inside was strange. A vibrant wave of spiritual energy was all around Austin and it felt imposing.
Compared to the outside world, this would have been a much suitable place for cultivation, with ample spiritual energy and law power in the environment.
Austin walked around in the small world and discovered no signs of living creatures anywhere. The place was dead as a doornail!
And yet, it felt quiet and peaceful instead of dreary and boring.
The world was uninhabited, but still developed. There were buildings in some areas which were grand and magnificent, or delicate and elegant. They were built in the ancient style of the Brilliant Kingdom. One other common denominator about them was that they were all empty.
Austin was surprised to see that numerous spiritual herbs were growing in various parts of this world. In fact, some of them were of a very high level.
What's more, hundreds of vessels of spiritual stones were hidden underground.
"These resources are highly suitable for new cultivators,"
Austin murmured as he looked around curiously.
'Wow! Is that even possible?
Those are... divine crystals...
and magical herbs!'
Austin suddenly found himself shocked to the core when he discovered divine crystals piled in heaps in a secluded area.
Several magical herbs were running around, but as soon as they sensed Austin's existence, they immediately disappeared into the ground.
From where he stood, he could see the entire world around him, and it was magnificent. It was a world full of dazzling lights and a dense divine aura.
Every inch of this underground palace was emitting a soft and gilded luster,
giving it the appearance of a solemn and sacred space.
'Hey hang on!
These symbols are related to the human body!'
Austin's eyes suddenly fell on the picture of a human body that was drawn on one of the walls of a secret chamber. He discovered that it was painted using various kinds of mysterious runes and lines.
'Oh! It looks like the cultivation method of the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation!'
Austin found the runes familiar.
'Yes, that's it!'
He studied the picture carefully and was able to confirm that it was indeed what he thought of it.
Unfortunately though, the steps given in the picture were
incomplete.
However, that wasn't the only strange thing.
'Hey, it looks slightly different from what I cultivated.
There are a few extra patterns here, in addition to what I have already mastered.'
Austin noticed the discrepancy after examining the picture for a while.
'It's said that the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation and the Triple Avatar Skill are both secret skills of the Triple Sect based on Earth.
Could the stories surrounding its origins be true?
Is it possible that the Triple Sect gets its roots from the Taoism of the Brilliant Kingdom?'
Austin became lost in thought as he pondered over the implications the painting had.
He recalled that there were three almighty figures in Taoism.
These were the three most revered figures in the Taoist culture.
Austin suspected that the Triple Sect of the three thousand big and small universes was in fact, the Taoism of the Brilliant Kingdom from the Earth!
If that were true, then finding this grotto carved with the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation of the Triple Sect was not a strange thing at all,
especially since the Pansion Grotto was one of the thirty-six sacred Taoist grottoes.
'Even though this is only a part of the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation,
it is still more complete than what I have cultivated before.
