Chapter 1187 You- You are from the Mirage Sect!?
Given the sheer difference between him and the person that created the ancient seal, even watching it operate at full power for a few short minutes would bring immense benefits to his understanding of the Dao of Formations and the Dao of Light. Especially considering that he was lucky enough to watch the process of the seal suppressing the being now locked away in the small sphere of light below the ruined hall.
Although comprehending the Dao of Formations or the Dao of Light to the Elementary Realm within the short time that the seal was operating at its full power, it still allowed him to have a smoother path when it came to comprehending these two Daos in the future.
As an example, he managed to breakthrough the barrier separating the Artisan Realm and the Master Realm. Officially becoming a Master Realm Formation Master in the short span of a few minutes.
Rumble~!
Of course, the single drop of divine blood couldn't keep the being suppressed with the seal forever, as it was soon exhausted. Resulting in the small light sphere rapidly being pushed back up through the hole in the middle of the ruined hall connecting the hall and the small room that the seal should have been confined to originally.
"Damnit! The divine blood only managed to hold on for a little over four minutes! According to the elders, it should have been able to suppress it for at least five!" At the same time Xuan Hao was focused on the seal that had begun to expand outwards as the dark miasma pushed back against the once again weakened seal, the old man in the process of repairing in the seal cursed out loudly as he similarly noticed the seal weakening.
Roooar-!
Knowing that the divine blood had disappeared, the being hidden in the dark miasma also reemerged before roaring angrily towards the old man who had thrown the divine blood towards it. No longer showing any signs of its earlier fear when it had first seen the old man take out the divine blood.
BANG!
Only a minute later, the dark miasma returned back to its original position as the old man was forced to retreat to avoid giving the being in the seal a chance to take advantage of him working on the seal to escape.
"Sorry for the surprise, I don't mean any harm." Knowing that his sudden appearance would be quite a shock, Xuan Hao did his best to defuse the situation before the old man ended up doing something stupid.
"You- Who are you!? What do you want?" Calming down a bit after realizing Xuan Hao didn't seem intent on attacking him, the old man could not help narrowing his eyes as he said this while closely inspecting Xuan Hao.
"Hm? This robe... Mirage Sect?! Are you someone from the Mirage Sect!? How!? Didn't the Mirage Sect get- Ah... never mind that, what is someone from the Mirage Sect doing here? Didn't everyone except the few religious branches evacuate this continent?" Recognizing the robe that he was wearing after a short look, the cautious expression on the old man's face changed into one of shock as he asked this.
"I'm not from the Mirage Sect, I got this robe from a senior before he passed away inside a mystic realm under the Mirage Sect. Although, all that is left in that place now is ruins..." Knowing very well that it would be hard for him to fool the old man and pose as someone from the Mirage Sect to try and get the answers he wanted from the old man, Xuan Hao decided to answer truthfully that he wasn't someone from the Mirage Sect.
"Not from the Mirage Sect? I see... For you to have come here should be because you learnt about the Ancient Dao Seals from that senior and came to take a look..." Nodding his head with a look of understanding after hearing that Xuan Hao wasn't from the Mirage Sect, the old man seemed to come to his own conclusion on how he had managed to find his way to the seal. Not suspecting that he had been silently following after him for the past few days.
After all, he had several different artifacts on him that would spot anyone the moment they got within a certain range of him. Giving him a heads up in case there was someone secretly following him so he could ensure that the way inside the seal didn't end up leaking out.
Of course, the artifact that had been doing this happened to be malfunctioning at the moment due to it being damaged before he went to the seal located beneath the ruins of the Raging Flame Sect.
Even if he knew about this, he would not suspect that Xuan Hao had been secretly following after him. The main reason for this being that he understood what it meant for Xuan Hao to be wearing a robe from the Mirage Sect.
Such a robe, even if he had stolen it from some ruins of the Mirage Sect, would not be wearable without the prior permission of the past owner. If worn without this special permission, the robe would trigger several different formations inside the robe and cause it to self-destruct with enough power to kill someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm!
Of course, there was no way Xuan Hao had any idea about this, as he would have thought twice about wearing the robe of the elder from the Mirage Sect if he knew about the fact that it had an inbuilt function to blow up with more than enough power to instantaneously kill him!
Then again, the protection it provided when compared to other robes was far better than anything the current Star Shattering Sect could create- No, maybe better than anything that could be created at the current Ewaria Continent!
