"He… He escaped?! How is that even possible!?"
At the sa ti Xuan Hao had sensed the movent of the Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator from the Crimson Dragon Empire along with the activation of the guardian formation and directly left the Dragon Tooth Mountain City, Formation Master Jing could not help exclaiming to herself upon the realization of what had just happened. Unable to believe that the Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator and the guardian formation had been unable to stop soone in ti.
"Don't think too much about it, that person is not simple, his comprehension of the Dao of Space even exceeds mine and the movent technique he used seem to be based on the Dao of Light. Making it close to impossible for to catch him before he leaves the area suppressed by .
Not to ntion, though I'm able to prevent teleportation inside of Dragon Tooth Mountain City and the area around it, it is ultimately also sothing that prevents from teleporting around as well. If I undid the suppression of space, that person would still have been able to escape with his superior comprehension of the Dao of Space.
All things considered; I don't have the strength to catch that person nor the strength to prevent him from leaving in the short ti it takes to activate the guardian formation."
Different from the sowhat agitated voice of Formation Master Jing who was still in disbelief over what had just happened, Guardian Zhang calmly analyzed the situation. Understanding very well that he had no way to stop Xuan Hao from leaving the Dragon Tooth Mountain City.
The thing he was more concerned about was the fact that this person was soone unfamiliar to him, sothing that was difficult considering that the other person was clearly stronger than him. Even having accomplished sothing that only a handful of people had done on the continent as far as he was aware, comprehending the Dao of Space to the Perfection Realm.
Using his vast repertoire of knowledge gathered throughout his long life, he began to ticulously search for anything that might point towards where this powerful cultivator had suddenly appeared from.
"Ancient Hidden Sect, sowhere overseas or one of the Nine Sacred Grounds. Even if those core faiths have remained inactive so far, there is a chance that they have started secretly moving following the recent movent of the demonic cultivators."
Closing his eyes as he said this to himself with Formation Master Jing now silently listening in from the side, Guardian Zhang soon finished searching through every part of the city before directly taking out a communication talisman to relay what had happened to the rest of the Crimson Dragon Empire.
"S-Senior, did that person do sothing inside the city…?"
Seeing Guardian Zhang suddenly go quiet, Formation Master Jing could not help nervously speaking up.
Having cald down a bit after listening to Guardian Zhang speaking, she was now filled with curiosity as to why such a powerful cultivator had decided to co and visit the Dragon Tooth Mountain City in the first place. Forgetting about trying to figure out how he had managed to avoid detection from the Saint Grade Guardian Formation guarding the city.
"Do sothing inside the city? No, he didn't do anything inside of the city and from the looks of things, he was just looking around without any ill intentions in mind. If I'm not wrong, he is very likely soone that was dispatched from one of the Nine Core Faiths to investigate the current situation on the continent."
"N-N-Nine Core Faiths!? S-soone from the Nine Core Faiths actually erged…"
Feeling a shiver run down her spine as she heard what Guardian Zhang said, Formation Master Jing did not know how to respond.
Although she was only soone in the Dao Seed Realm, she had a rather special identity inside of the Crimson Dragon Empire due to her talent as a formation master that made her have a high likelihood of becoming a Saint Realm Formation Master in the future.
Because of this, she was aware of information far beyond what a normal Dao Seed Realm cultivator would be able to get their hands on. Making her fully aware of what it ant for the Nine Core Faiths to start moving around outside of their Sacred Grounds and the little territory surrounding those Sacred Grounds.
The last ti sothing like that happened was during the fight for control over the continent between the demon beasts and the humans.
Although the demon beasts still managed to retain control of a large part of the continent, it was clear that the humans had managed to control the most important Central Region of the continent… And this was in large part due to the Nine Core Faiths that stood as the undisputed strongest force on the continent.
Only the ancient hidden sects dating back to a ti before the existence of these faiths were capable of potentially standing up against them and that was only potentially, as there was a very clear example of the Nine Core Faiths destroying an ancient hidden sect in the past.
Though the na of that hidden sect had been lost to history, the might of the Nine Core Faiths was still around when it ca to those in the known!
"Don't worry too much about it, they are most likely just trying to figure out what the demonic cultivators are up to and aren't really planning to reerge."
Seeing the fearful look on Jing's face, Guardian Zhang looked up from his communication talisman as he reassured her before signaling for her to leave, as he had an important conversation coming up with the rest of the Crimson Dragon Empire's Ancestors and other powerful entities.
"…"
Understanding that she was still far too weak to listen in to this kind of discussion that would dictate the overall response of the entire Crimson Dragon Empire to the situation and at the sa ti also reveal the overall strength of the Crimson Dragon Empire through the number of people present in the discussion, Jing turned around and obediently left the estate.
Now that Xuan Hao had left and the reason for the problem with the formation had been figured out, there was nothing more for her to do inside Dragon Tooth Mountain City.
However, even though she had been working hard for the past few days to leave the city as fast as possible to participate in an opportunity that she had managed to secure for herself not too long ago, she no longer felt the sa drive as she had done in the past.
Instead, she just felt a weird kind of emptiness and helplessness as she looked off in the direction of the gate where the problem with the formation had first occurred.
In the past, she had believed that although she wasn't among the strongest people in the Crimson Dragon Empire, she was still soone strong that could hold her own.
But now that she had witnessed the brief confrontation between Xuan Hao and Guardian Zhang that lasted less than the ti it took for her to blink her eyes, did she realize just how truly weak she still was.
Although she might be strong in the eyes of most people throughout the continent, in the face of the truly powerful people standing at the top of the continent, she was nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
Only if she broke through to the Saint Realm would she gain the qualification to stand at the top of the continent, but even then, she was fully aware of the strength difference between soone in the Saint Realm and soone in the Celestial Immortal Realm.
Even though a Saint Realm Formation Master could use formations to battle a Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator, it was ultimately still inferior to a true Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator.
Only by reaching the First Heaven Realm would she stand equal with soone in the Celestial Immortal Realm and only by reaching the Great Saint Realm could she truly hold her head high on the continent no matter who she ended up facing!
"That opportunity, though it will be helpful, the danger is low, and it doesn't truly present a life changing opportunity. Maybe… Maybe I should take a risk and try to enter the secret realm that was recently discovered at the border between the Eastern and Northern Central Region." Narrowing both of her eyes as she muttered this quietly to herself, Jing seed to co to a decision as she slowly began leaving the city.
However, instead of heading towards the opportunity she had originally planned to try her luck at getting, she instead decided to head towards the Northern Central Region where a new secret realm entrance brimming with both danger and opportunities that could tempt even soone in the Celestial Immortal Realm was rumored to have erged recently.
Dangerous as it was and how trustworthy the rumors might be, she decided to take a chance in her life and do sothing that was far more dangerous than her normal developnt route.
No longer was she just content with reaching the Saint Realm in the future, she wanted to beco a Great Saint renowned throughout the continent!
