Chapter 1280 Can A Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator Fly?
As his divine sense spread out into the forest, Xuan Hao didn't take long to notice that there were more than just a few demon beasts in the Nascent Soul Realm gathered around the outer parts of the forest. Not just that, but he even noticed a few stronger demon beasts in the Domain Lord Realm among them.
The weaker demon beasts in the forest in the Core Formation Realm and below were also present, but they had long since hidden themselves. Most of them had gone below ground into small dens or tunnels where they could hide from the divine sense of the demon beast up above with the help of the layer of earth between them and the surface.
Of course, this kind of hiding method would only work against those demon beasts in the Nascent Soul Realm whose divine sense weren't that strong and couldn't penetrate far into the ground. Faced with the Domain Lord Realm demon beasts, they were still clearly visible.
Even then, the Domain Lord Realm demon beast had no interest in hunting down these weaker demon beasts and would much rather prefer to go after the Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts.
But… Why had all of these powerful demon beasts who were nowhere near the edge of the forest now present at the edge of the forest…?
Thinking about this as his divine sense continued to spread further into the mystic realm, Xuan Hao could not help wondering about this question.
At the current moment, his main guess as to what had happened was rather simple, a powerful demon beast above the Domain Lord Realm had appeared inside the forest during the time he had been gone from the mystic realm. Scaring the weaker demon beast away.
Considering that he had indeed sensed a few demon beasts in the Soul Ascension Realm and possibly even the Dao Seed Realm in the deeper regions of the mystic realm during his last visit, it wasn't that unrealistic for one of these powerful demon beasts to have wandered out from the inner regions of the mystic realm and into the forest he currently found himself at the edge of.
Narrowing both his eyes as he thought about this, Xuan Hao pushed his divine sense to its limits. Soon covering the entirety of the forest. Stretching his divine sense to its absolute limit as it now covered an area close to four times the size of the old Heavenly Sky Kingdom.
Even with his cultivation base in the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, covering such a large area was exhausting. Especially considering that everything inside his divine sense had to be processed by his soul. Putting enormous pressure on his soul to see everything inside the scope of his divine sense.
Even then, Xuan Hao soon discovered what he was looking for at the other edge of the massive forest.
The thing in question being the cause for the large number of powerful demon beasts that had appeared at the edge of the forest, a Peak Soul Ascension Realm demon beast.
Although it was not in the Dao Seed Realm, it was more than powerful enough to have scared the different Nascent Soul Realm and Domain Lord Realm demon beasts present at the edge of the forest into escaping as far away as possible.
Even more so when considering that this demon beast at the Peak of the Soul Ascension Realm seemed to be in the process of breaking through to the Dao Seed Realm. Resulting in the aura surrounding this demon beast being no weaker than that of a demon beast that had already broken through to the Dao Seed Realm.
"Hm… I guess it shouldn't have come here because of the commotion caused by me and those two leaving the mystic realm back then, but instead because it wanted to find somewhere safe to break through to the Dao Seed Realm." Muttering this to himself as he retracted most of his divine sense and focused his attention on the Soul Ascension Realm demon beast, Xuan Hao didn't take long to comprehend why this powerful demon beast had appeared at the edge of the mystic realm where only Core Formation Realm demon beast and a few Nascent Soul Realm appeared under normal circumstances.
BOOOM!
ROAR-!
Just at this moment, a loud explosion followed by an equally loud roar echoed out not too far away from him, as Mui finally managed to break through the turtle shell of the snake turtle demon beast.
Roar!
Now at the mercy of Mui, without any chance to properly defend itself against the terrifying power of her metal balls, it didn't take long before the snake turtle demon beast was crushed beneath one of the metal balls. Putting an end to its miserable fate of being tortured by Mui without the ability to fight back.
"Hehe! It's my win!" Showing a triumphant smile as she proclaimed this while looking down at the dead snake turtle demon beast, Mui put away her metal balls before jumping over to her master with an expression looking for praise.
"You did well, but you have to remember that the main reason for your victory this time around was because of your metal balls. Next time around, you should try and fight without using them. Only this way can you enhance your combat and movement techniques." Knowing what Mui wanted, Xuan Hao smiled slightly as he praised the little girl, while also reminding her to also practice her combat and movement techniques instead of just relying on her special artifacts.
After all, without a strong enough movement technique it would be easy for her to get caught off guard by the enemy, while being stronger in fighting without the help of artifacts was always a good thing if one found themselves without any way to use these artifacts or they grew too weak to use in the future.
Even though Xuan Hao doubted that this would be much of a problem for Mui, as it seemed like her artifacts became stronger the stronger, she was, it was also good for her to try and fight without the help of the artifacts, as it could put more pressure on her and help her cultivation grow faster.
"I understand master!" Nodding her head happily at the praise, Mui wasn't the slightest bit affected by what her master said. After all, she had already tried fighting without the help of her artifacts against Chu Yang and Chun Hua, something that had indeed helped her cultivation and combat sense grow.
Although her master hadn't said it, she understood what he meant by her not using her artifacts to fight.
"Good, let's go and find another demon beast for you to fight. This time around, don't use any of your artifacts and just use the combat techniques you have learnt." Smiling happily upon seeing the look of understanding on Mui's face, Xuan Hao picked her up with his domain before flying in the direction of another Nascent Soul Realm demon beast not too far away from their current location.
Even though he had also entered the mystic realm to improve his own strength and try to reach the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, he first intended to spend some time training Mui with the help of the different Nascent Soul Realm demon beast present at the edge of the forest before doing so.
Intending to first get her strong enough that she should be able to explore the outer parts of the mystic realm on her own before leaving to continue exploring the inner parts of the mystic realm.
The reason he wanted to go to the inner parts of the mystic realm that he had felt too weak to explore before being that he wanted to see if he could find more remnants of the Mirage Sect. Possibly more of the Celestial Trials, as they had proven to be incredibly useful when it came to increasing his strength in the Dao Domain Lord Realm.
Not to mention, the Mirage Sect clearly had information on the Dao Domain Lord Realm and searching through the remnants of this once glorious ancient sect might prove useful in finding out more about the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm.
Maybe he might end up running into another elder from the Mirage Sect that had somehow managed to keep himself alive through some mysterious methods like the one who had given him the robe he was currently wearing.
Thinking about this as he carried Mui through the forest before arriving in front of a rather surprised Nascent Soul Realm demon beast, Xuan Hao concealed his own presence before throwing his little disciple towards the surprised Nascent Soul Realm demon beast who couldn't comprehend how someone had suddenly appeared in the air above it.
"Maaaasttteeer!" Finding herself suddenly plummeting towards the ground, Mui could not help screaming out for her master in surprise. Not having expected her master to suddenly drop her directly above a demon beast.
"…"
Oh… Forgot that she couldn't fly on her own…
