The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"Young man! Quick! Tell me what happened, and spare no details!"

the elder clad in majestic white robes urgently pressed.

"Of course, sir. I'd gladly tell you everything,"

Austin graciously replied.

Then, he told the old man everything he knew about the reincarnation race, down to the very minute details.

When it came to things he was unsure of, he would immediately consult Old Lady Meng.

Since Old Lady Meng was once a reincarnation god on the road of reincarnation, she was familiar with most of the information about them. Plus, she had personally experienced the terrible war when the reincarnation race was destroyed.

Since Austin was consulting her, it felt like Old Lady Meng herself was rehashing the history to the white-robed elder. Through her help, he had learned about every detail regarding how the reincarnation race was destroyed through Austin's mouth.

"I knew it! On some level, I have always known that the darkness race is behind all this!

During those times, I had always seen it coming that a decisive battle between Zeke and Yahir would happen sooner or later.

But I didn't expect that a full out war between the reincarnation race and the darkness race would happen.

I have to admit that Yahir's method was brilliant. Through his methods, he really managed to destroy the entire reincarnation race!

I wonder how Zeke is doing these days."

The old man sighed after he pondered on the story for a while. He looked extremely worried.

"For context, Zeke is the master of the three Lords of Reincarnation.

And Yahir was the ancestor of the darkness race. The entire darkness race rooted from him—all of them were his descendants.

The both of them were always fighting against each other. They never really saw each other eye to eye,"

he explained to Austin when he saw his confused expression.

"I see, so that's how it went down!"

Austin felt enlightened when he realized what truly happened back then.

"You mentioned that the members of the reincarnation race don't know whether the three Lords of Reincarnation are dead or alive.

In that case, rebuilding the road of reincarnation and revive the reincarnation race would be a difficult task.

The most dangerous threat from the darkness race is not the three Lords of Darkness, but Yahir.

If I'm being honest, I personally think that even the three Lords of Reincarnation have nothing against him—he is just that powerful,"

the elder in white continued.

Austin's heart sank at the old man's words.

The three Lords of Darkness were already the top masters in the Absolute Space Sea. If this Yahir was better than them, it was unimaginable how powerful he truly was.

If Yahir was indeed as powerful as they claimed he was, rebuilding the road of reincarnation and reviving the reincarnation race would prove to be very difficult. Especially since the three Lords of Reincarnation, the closest individuals who could stop Yahir, had been missing. Even if they were still alive, it still would not be enough.

The only shred of hope was that Zeke, their master, was still alive.

At the mere thought of this, Austin's face darkened.

"Whether you can rise again or not depends on whether Zeke is still alive or not.

If he's truly gone with no hopes of returning, then your chance to rebuild the reincarnation race is probably gone with him. Although you could still do it without him, its level of difficulty would be next to impossible.”

The old man in white robes sighed deeply, sympathizing with Austin’s woes.

"To give you a little hope, Zeke would not die under normal circumstances.

His strength is beyond remarkable, and he is much stronger than I am.

He is one of the masters I admire most,"

the elder soothed.

"Sir, you have seen him before. Do you have any way to figure out if he is still alive?"

Austin asked.

Zeke was a vital key to Austin's quest to revive his race, so Austin summoned the courage to ask the elder.

"If I were at my peak, it would be easy for me to know if he was still alive.

I contacted him often back then, and I had plenty of ways to find out where he was. Unfortunately, with my current state, I can't even protect myself. At this rate, how can I even know whether he is alive or not?"

the elder in white replied, shaking his head after hearing Austin's question.

Austin remained silent for a moment, ransacking his brain on what he could do next.

Indeed, the spiritual soul of the elder in front of him had been destroyed, leaving only a spiritual soul mark. No matter how powerful it was, it could not be compared with his previous peak state. Moreover, Austin could see that the spiritual soul mark of the old man could only stay around the crystal coffin, unable to stray farther from his body.

"Sir, I hope you indulge with another question since I'm curious,"

Austin respectfully asked out of the blue.

"Go ahead."

The old man in white robes nodded slightly.

"Sir, did you really die in your current state?

I sensed that your body feels like it is somehow sealed with great vitality and terrible energy. If this spiritual soul mark could control your body, it can be resurrected at any time, or it may become a new living creature,”

Austin asked after thinking for a while.

"Yes, you're right.

My body is indeed sealed with great vitality and great energy.

In other words, most of my life energy and vitality were sealed in this body when I was alive, and it didn't lose much.

But what you failed to notice is that my body is so powerful that my spiritual soul mark can't control it at all.

If my spiritual soul mark were to control my body, I'm afraid that it might get devoured instantly, and turned into ashes. If that happens, my spiritual soul will be completely destroyed.

What's the point of only the body left?"

the old man in white robes explained his dilemma and sighed.

"That's true, sir. I was being rash,”

Austin replied remorsefully.

"In fact, in addition to this spiritual soul mark, there are also plenty of spiritual soul marks and spiritual soul avatars of mine scattered in different space and time.

I had been practicing for a long time now, and I don't know how many avatars and spiritual soul marks I have condensed.

If I can find all of them and gather them here, I can try to condense a new spiritual soul to control my body.

As soon as this happens, I can try to cultivate and regain my previous peak state.

Only then will I be resurrected.

However, it's too difficult for me to find all my previous avatars and spiritual soul marks

because I can't leave here with my current state,”

the elder told Austin.

"I see!

But sir, even if you can't get out of here, I can.

If you put your trust in me, please allow me to finish this task for you. After I go out, I can go everywhere to search for your previous spiritual soul avatars and spiritual soul marks. I will bring them back here to you!"

Austin gleefully promised.
