Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

chapter-1124
"This… Is far more dangerous than I expected…" Passing through the wooden gate, the old man could not help freezing on the spot as he felt the terrifying presence of close to a dozen Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts appearing all around him. Even if he had just heard about it from Chu Li, seeing it in person and hearing about it were two completely different things. Rooar-!
Roar!
The slim hope that Chu Li had been exaggerating when describing the scene outside the Sea of Mist evaporating with the terrifying roars of the illusory beasts happily celebrating their escape from the Valley of Illusory Beasts not too far away.
No, I have to get out of this place before they discover me!
Realizing that he couldn't waste any time lingering around the entrance to the Sea of Mist, the old man used all the strength he had managed to gather over the past two years to utilize his movement technique to its limits-Swish-!
Turning into a thin shadow that rapidly flew out of the cave before heading in the direction of the border of the Blue Sea Empire. Dodging any illusory beasts in his path along the way, as he did his best to not get too close to any of the more excited illusory beasts celebrating their escape from the Valley of Illusory Beasts.
Not so much because these illusory beasts were much stronger than the rest of the illusory beasts, but because they were unconsciously using their strength to destroy the environment around themselves.
Along the way, the old man also managed to spot some of the Peak Soul Ascension Realm Experts who had chased him down in the past and forced him to hide away inside the Sea of Mist while he recovered from his battle with the Earth Immortal from the Blue Sea Empire.
Although he really wanted to kill these people and take revenge for them forcing him into his current situation of now having to escape from a place surrounded by a large number of Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts, he also understood that he didn't have any strength to spare on these Soul Ascension Realm Experts, as even a single attack might end up draining the little strength he had left.
On the positive side, the Soul Ascension Realm Experts in question didn't have it easy either, as they were all trying their best to escape from the large number of Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts that had appeared all of a sudden.
As things would have it, they had nowhere near the speed needed to escape nor the strength to make the illusory beasts hesitate on whether or not to attack them- Roar-!Boom!
Because of this, all of the Soul Ascension Realm Experts that the old man saw along the way were fighting on the brink of death using all of their precious items to fend off the illusory beasts.
"Ahhh! My spiritual artifact! I used 500 years to craft it!"
"Gone… My family heirloom passed down for the past thirty generations. Gone just like that…"
"Damnable beasts! You will all die when the- Ahhh-!"
Unfortunately, even with all of these precious items, they could at most hold back the illusory beasts for a short period of time before the items in question were destroyed by the illusory beasts, who wasted no time in killing a few of the Soul Ascension Realm Experts.
Ironically, the battles between the illusory beasts and Soul Ascension Realm Experts resulted in the old man safely passing through a large number of illusory beasts that would normally be blocking his path. In the end allowing him to safely escape from the illusory beasts without doing anything other than using his movement technique.
…
Whoosh~
At the same time the old man in the Earth Immortal Realm was trying to drag his injured body to safety before the people from the Blue Sea Empire appeared, Xuan Hao appeared above a small mountain range far away from the large mountain range where the illusory beasts were currently running rampant.
This should be far enough away from the-
"Huh?"
About to take another step forward and begin his journey back towards the Star Shattering Sect, Xuan Hao could not help freezing on the spot as his divine sense picked up a large object rapidly flying towards him at a speed that made the illusory dragon look slow in comparison. Looking closer, he discovered that the flying object was some kind of massive flying ship several thousand meters long.
"Earth Immortal Realm… And so many of them…" However, the thing that caused Xuan Hao to stop was not the impressive size of the ship, but the fact that he felt close to a dozen people in the Earth Immortal Realm on the ship. Not only that, but one of these people's strength was far above anything he had ever felt before. Making him wonder if the other party was one of the Blue Sea Empire's ancestors that had surpassed the Earth Immortal Realm.
If it really turned out to be the case, the other party would definitely have a way to forcibly restrain him and prevent him from using the Dao of Space to run away…
Looks like I will have to wait and see what they want from. At least, considering the fact that I haven't done anything, I should be fine- Unless my connection to the Explorer Union ends up causing problems…
Once again feeling regretful over the fact that he had tried to hide his true identity by using the identity he had created in the Explorer Union to find the spiritual herb needed to awaken Qing Yi's divine physique, Xuan Hao could only remind himself to never do something like that again in the future as he silently waited for the massive flying ship.
Rumble~!
As the flying ship came to a stop a short distance away from him, Xuan Hao felt a bit nervous as he watched around five Earth Immortal Realm Experts covered in armor from head to toe jump out of the ship before coming to a stop a few hundred meters away from him. Taking the lead, the strongest among the five Earth Immortals walked closer while the rest remained stationary.
Looks like they aren't here to cause trouble…
Seeing how only one of the five approached him while also picking up the polite expression on the face of the Earth Immortal approaching him, Xuan Hao felt himself relaxing.
"Fellow Daoist, might I ask if there is anything I can help you with?"
With this in mind, Xuan Hao returned a polite smile as he asked this. Curious about why the group in front of him had stopped him.
"Yes, we recently received information that a large number of unknown beasts in the Earth Immortal Realm appeared not too far away from here in the Fae Mountain Range and wanted to know if you had any information about this given you came from that direction." Nodding his head in confirmation as he said this, the man in the lead turned his attention towards Xuan Hao. Eager to hear whether or not he had any information.
Came from that direction… Looks like there is someone skilled in the Dao of Space on the ship...
Narrowing both of his eyes slightly after hearing what the man said, Xuan Hao could not help feeling grateful that he decided to stay and wait instead of trying to leave. After all, for the other party to pick up the direction he had come from, the other party shouldn't be too far behind him in terms of comprehension and might even be superior to him in the Dao of Space.
"No problem, I did manage to learn a bit about the current situation…"
Knowing that he might not be able to escape in case he fell out with the people on the flying ship, Xuan Hao decided to inform them about the current situation on what he found out was called the Fae Mountain Range. Making sure to modify it a bit so it seemed like a passerby who had nothing to do with the large number of illusory beasts and just happened to pass by and witness them coming out of the ground.
In any case, the information wasn't really anything special considering that a large number of Soul Ascension Realm Experts had witnessed this scene as well and some of them were bound to have informed their friends and the Blue Sea Empire about this before trying to escape.
"Hm… I see, this situation is far more troublesome than expected, I really have no idea how those people expect the East Sea Army to deal with such a thing on its own… Anyway, thank you for the information. Unfortunately, we will have to leave, but you can always feel free to stop by the East Sea Army in the future for a chat."
Whoosh-!
Whoosh-!
Whoosh-!
Not giving Xuan Hao any time to react after saying this, the man and the rest of the Earth Immortal Realm Experts returned to the flying ship before the ship in question flew off in the direction of the Fae Mountain Range where the illusory beasts were located.
