As large number of people from the ancient secret realm began streaming through the ancient spatial passages in an attempt to escape before their world collapsed and at the sa ti to seek out a better place to further their own cultivation, Xuan Hao found himself remaining sitting in front of the expanding battlefield between the spatial storm and the ancient guardian formation. Feeling his senses already covering the entirety of the ancient secret realm, as a large portion of his strength had been dedicated to stabilizing and ensuring that the countless ancient spatial passages remained open and didn't abruptly collapse.
After all, though the ancient spatial passages didn't take much strength to open individually, the sheer number of spatial passages still placed a certain burden on him and his spiritual qi reserves. Pushing his dantian to the limit, as the burden of keeping those spatial passages open also ca with him having to bear so of the pressure that these spatial passages faced by cutting through the spatial storm outside with his own body.
Normally, he wouldn't have noticed this pressure, but with it stacking up as the number of spatial passages he kept open reached into the tens of thousands, the small bit of pressure pushed onto him from forcing open those spatial passages turned into a burden that even he found difficult to handle for an extended period of ti.
If not for the fact that he had just broken through to the Middle Stage of the Land Creation Realm and had thus ended up not just elevating his strength to a new realm but also transford his dantian into an inner world ahead of ti. Allowing him to carry so aspects unique to Late Stage Land Creation Realm cultivators while only being at the Middle Stage of the Land Creation Realm, it would have been impossible to withstand this kind of pressure.
After all, the uniqueness he had managed to inherit ahead of ti from forming an inner world was the ability to resist this kind of external pressure with far more ease by relying on the foundation of his inner world.
Of course, difficult and exhausting as it was to keep those spatial passages open throughout the ancient secret realm, it wasn't entirely without benefits, as keeping so many spatial passages open at the sa ti along with facing the pressure of the spatial storm raging outside, did allow his understanding of the Dao of Space to deepen at a terrifying speed that made him believe reaching the Origin Realm would be possible if he could keep such a profound state active for a few weeks.
Unfortunately for him, he knew that this kind of unique state wouldn't last for more than a few days, as the ancient secret realm was already collapsing.
Still, the unique state he entered allowed him to lay down a proper foundation for reaching the Origin Realm in the Dao of Space in the future. Allowing him to seamlessly reach the realm if he had enough ti. How long it would take exactly, he had no idea, but a good guess was that he should be able to reach the Origin Realm within the next ten or so years
Although not a short ti, it wasn't long either and given the crisis that was brewing behind the ancient dao seals not too far from the Star Shattering Sect, he knew that he would have to reach the Venerable Realm within the next hundred years to ensure that nothing happened to the sect. Taking ten years to reach the origin Realm in the Dao of Space, while not short was acceptable, as he personally hoped that he would be able to reach the Peak of the Land Creation Realm within those ten years and dedicate the remaining years before the crisis erged to reach the Star Creation Realm and hopefully the Venerable Realm beyond that.
Of course, unrealistic as this kind of progress was even to soone like himself, he also felt so hope that he would be able to delay the collapse of the ancient dao seals and buy himself more ti to reach the Venerable Realm in the future. In a way, his focus on the Dao of Formations was also partly because of this, as he hoped that he would be able to reach the Origin Realm in the Dao of Formations and potentially find so way to strengthen the ancient dao seals.
Even if he knew the chance of this happening was low considering soone had already stepped forward and strengthened those seals, he still felt sowhat hopeful that he would be able to also lend a hand in strengthening those ancient dao seals. Allowing them to hold on for at least another hundred years. Even just another fifty years would give him far more confidence in reaching the Venerable Realm in ti.
Of course, reaching the Venerable Realm from the Land Creation Realm in a little over a hundred years was already sothing that would leave everyone else on the Ewaria Continent shaking their heads in disbelief, but given how fast he had progressed through his cultivation, Xuan Hao felt confident that he would be able to accomplish this.
With so many Star Creation Realm cultivators, soone should have broken through to the Venerable Realm over the years, but none had appeared, even rumors about a realm beyond the Star Creation Realm barely existed, let alone a na for the realm beyond it.
To this day, the only way he had learnt about the Venerable Realm was through ancient ruins or what had been left behind from the past, he hadn't found any signs of anyone reaching the Venerable Realm after the great cataclysm in the past that had ultimately shattered the ancient divine continent.
This was the main thing that worried him about reaching the Venerable Realm in the future, as he feared that the path to the realm might have been blocked or sothing happened whenever soone broke through to the Venerable Realm causing them to vanish into thin air, thus not giving the ones breaking through any ti to spread word about having broken through.
As his thoughts wandered in this direction, he couldn't stop himself from thinking about another such situation that had appeared whenever soone comprehended the Dao of Ti. In that situation, they also seed to disappear after comprehending the Dao of Ti to a certain extent.
Although he had also comprehended the Dao of Ti, he hadn't gone that far as he also felt a bit worried about this, but different from the Venerable Realm where no news existed. At least so spares news of the Dao of ti did exist… And through this news, he did get a feeling that the disappearance of the Venerable Realm and those who practiced the Dao of Ti wasn't the sa.
In fact, with his current comprehension of the Dao of Ti, he could sowhat guess what had happened to those who had dwelled too deeply into the Dao of Ti, as they could have easily found themselves sinking into the river of ti unknowingly while focused on comprehending the Dao of Ti. Finding out too late and finding themselves too weak to fight back against the current as they were pulled down and lost.
This seed like a good explanation for how those cultivating the Dao of Ti might have suddenly vanished, but he still felt this description might be wrong, as anyone who comprehended the Dao of Ti to the Elentary Realm should know the danger of comprehending the Dao of Ti and sensing the river of ti, so they should keep their distance and avoid taking unnecessary risks.
Unless… The river of ti one could sense through comprehending the Dao of Ti wasn't always peaceful, but like rivers, soti beca more turbulent. Making it far more dangerous to exist within.
Speaking of this, Xuan Hao did feel a bit worried, as although he didn't actively comprehend the Dao of Ti, having actively sensed the river of ti in the past, he could still constantly sense it ever-present around him.
In other words, should any waves rise, he would still be affected to so extent, giving him a far greater idea of how those who comprehended the Dao of Ti might have disappeared.
Taking this train of thought on step further, it would be understandable if soone who broke through to the Venerable Realm either perceived the river of ti or affected it to so extent with their powerful presence, causing waves to rise within the river of ti.
If these waves were too much, it might also be the ones that were the culprit behind the seemingly elusive existence of Venerable Realm cultivators, as they too might have been swept away by the river of ti during their breakthrough.
In fact, as he thought more about this, he felt that the breakthrough to the Venerable Realm might indeed involve the river of ti to so extent, it was only that his cultivation was currently too low to fully grasp what breaking through to the Venerable Realm fully entailed.
