Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

"This- Someone managed to find the entrance to the seal?! But how is that possible? I made sure there wasn't anyone powerful around when I entered the seal, the strongest person was only at the Soul Ascension Realm- Ah!" Suddenly realizing something as he looked towards the direction that the rumbling sound had come from, the old man turned to look back at Xuan Hao. "Junior… How did you happen to enter the seal…?"

"Huh? There was a large hole in the ground where the entrance was located, and I just happened to enter it and found myself here. Honestly, I thought it would be more difficult to reach the seal…" Not saying anything about the fact that he had been following a few seconds behind him, Xuan Hao decided to just tell him how he had entered the underground space without telling him when.

As for the whether or not the entrance had fully closed up behind him... He had no idea. The only thing he knew for certain was that the opening of the entrance had caused quite a disturbance to the surface of the river. More than enough to alarm the people in the town next to the river. Even though, it was doubtful that they would investigate the situation at the river unless there was someone at Earth Immortal Realm present.

All things considered; the reputation of the river was quite well known across the Blue Sea Empire. Making it unlikely that someone in the Soul Ascension Realm would dare enter, let alone investigate the river unless absolutely necessary. After all, there was no telling if the disturbance was caused by a powerful demon beast waking up from a long slumber…

"Didn't close up properly… Damn it! I knew this place had been in a bad state, but I didn't expect for the entrance of this place to have suffered as well! What to do… The person trying to break through the entrance should at least have reached the Earth Immortal Realm, even if I escape, the location of the seal will be revealed, and those people will undoubtedly end up finding out about it!" Starting to full blown panic as he muttered this to himself while looking towards the direction of the entrance where the rumbling sound grew louder and louder with each passing second, the old man began looking through his interspatial ring for anything that could help with the current situation.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Seeing the panicked old man, Xuan Hao decided to offer his assistance.

Although he didn't understand who the old man was referring to when he talked about someone who seemed to be searching for the seals, it wasn't that hard to guess considering that the old man had referred to the being in the seal as a god of some kind. Meaning that the people searching for the seal should be the followers of this being in the seal.

Even though he had no idea how strong these followers were, it was obvious that the old man didn't think they would have any problem dealing with the seal. Not to mention, just a single part of the sealed being had the strength of a Minor God, when fully recovered, the being should be an existence above the Minor Gods mentioned by the old man!

Not just that, but from the fact that he thinks they will discover information about the seal the moment it's discovered, these followers should already have spread across the entire continent. Lurking in the shadows searching for any information about their god…

Frowning to himself as he thought about this, Xuan Hao went through the different major organization that he had heard about on the Ewaria Continent, but none of them seemed to be followers of the sealed being.

"Help? Unfortunately, there isn't anything we can do about it with our strength…" Lifting his head from his interspatial ring to answer his question while Xuan Hao thought about the possible followers of the being in the seal, the old man shook his head before once again burrowing his head in his interspatial ring to look for anything to help them out of their current situation.

Considering the fact that the old man believed Xuan Hao to be someone in the Initial Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, it was understanding that he didn't ask for his help. After all, what would someone in the Initial Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm do against someone in the Earth Immortal Realm. At most he would be able to hold on a little longer than a Peak Domain Lord Realm Expert like himself… And that was not mentioning the fact that the goal was not to fight the other party, but to prevent them from finding the underground space where the seal was located.

"…"

Understanding this, Xuan Hao could only remain quiet as the old man continued looking through his interspatial ring for an artifact that might be useful for dealing with the current situation…

"Ah! I got it! Haha, looks like things aren't over just yet!"

After close to a minute like this, the old man finally seemed to have found what he had been looking for as he pulled out a large disc similar to the teleportation disc he had been about to use earlier. Only many times larger than the other disc.

"This is…" Feeling the terrifying spatial fluctuations around the disc shaped artifact taken out by the old man, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine. Even though he could only feel a fraction of the spatial laws contained inside the artifact, it was clear that they were far superior to that of the smaller disc.

"Hehe, this is a seal relocation disc! One of my ancestors gave it to me in case one of the seals was found and had to be relocated. The only problem with this thing is that I can't activate it on my own due to my insufficient cultivation realm, but with your help, we should be able to activate it." Smiling happily as he said this, the old man waved for Xuan Hao to come over and help him activate the disc shaped artifact.

"Can't activate it on your own? Why did your ancestor give it to you if you can't activate it on your own?" Not feeling worried about the old man doing anything to him given the difference in their strength allowing him to instantaneously kill him if he did anything suspicious and the fact that he hadn't done anything to make him think he would do something like that, Xuan Hao curiously made his way over to him while asking this. Feeling rather curious as to why his ancestor had given him an artifact that he was too weak to activate.

"Well… I didn't lie when I said that it was a last resort, as I would have to use a forbidden technique to forcibly elevate my strength to the Dao Seed Realm for a short time to use it, a forbidden technique that would end up killing me shortly after activating the seal relocation disc…" Smiling a bit wryly as he said this, the old man placed both his hands on the disc and began infusing his qi into it. "Everything is ready, you just have to infuse your qi into the disc, and it will do the rest of the work on its own." Whoosh~

Nodding his head in response to the old man, Xuan Hao placed his hand on the disc and began to infuse his qi into the disc- "Huh?"

However, upon placing his hand on the disc, Xuan Hao could not help opening both his eyes wide as he felt the terrifying spatial fluctuation rapidly expand and integrate into the entire underground space-

Rumble~!

And before he even had the chance to figure out what was happening, a terrifying force enveloped the entire underground space before disappearing the next moment.

If not for the fact that he had comprehended the Dao of Space and could feel that he had just been teleported an unimaginable distance by the terrifying spatial power, he would have believed that nothing had happened, and he was still in the same underground space below the river in the Blue Sea Empire.

"Hm? That was easier than expected…"

At the same time Xuan Hao was left in a state of shock following the terrifying display of spatial manipulation, the old man frowned to himself as he looked at the disc in his hand that had begun shattering following its activation. Not understanding why, he had only barely started to infuse his qi before the disc had activated.

"Maybe the ancestor was just telling me about having to use a forbidden technique to scare me into not carelessly using the seal relocation disc…"

In the end, he had no idea about the fact that the qi infused by Xuan Hao in that short period of time was already more than enough to satisfy the condition of activation and could only blame his ancestor for being overly worried about him accidentally wasting the seal relocation disc…
