Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1404  A... More Difficult Mission...

Wasting no time after its master left, the rabbit demon beast instantly moved towards the Frozen Wastelands at a shocking speed that would even give someone in the Dao Seed Realm a hard time catching up to.

To ensure that it remained hidden even when going at such a fast speed as it was important for it to remain hidden while investigating the demonic cultivator, the rabbit demon beast made sure to move along the ground instead of flying through the air. Making it far harder to spot for any passing demonic cultivators.

In case, even if it ended up being spotted, most people would just think of it as a random demon beast passing through, likely underestimating its strength due to its small size.

In a way, it was also because of this that Xuan Hao had decided to have the rabbit demon beast be the one to secretly find and investigate the demonic cultivator related to the Demon King of the Frozen Wastelands.

All things considered; the rabbit demon beast encountered no problems as it managed to smoothly pass through a large number of demonic cultivators before entering the Frozen Wastelands undetected. Even moving past several True Demon Realm demonic cultivators who had begun returning after Xuan Hao had left the border area.

The only problem that it encountered after it entered the Frozen Wastelands, was the fact that it had no idea how it would find the demonic cultivator that its master wanted it to investigate.

In the end, the rabbit demon beast could only settle down and act like a normal snow rabbit demon beast that was among the most common demon beasts in the Frozen Wastelands, as it silently listened in to conversations between the demonic cultivators. Hoping to find out anything about this special demonic cultivator that its master wanted it to investigate.

At least in that regard, it was relatively lucky, as the snow rabbit demon beasts were too weak to interest any of the demonic cultivators and together with the fact that most demonic cultivator seemed to just ignore them no matter how close they got, the rabbit demon beast could easily approach the demonic cultivators and listen in on their conversations without being discovered.

However, it soon turned out that it was far more difficult to locate the demonic cultivator its master wanted it to find and investigate, as the other party seemed to be a mystery even among the True Demon Realm demonic cultivators present.

Giving the rabbit demon beast hard time, as it had to analyze any information about this demonic cultivator and try to pinpoint the location of the demonic cultivator in question, something incredibly difficult considering that this demonic cultivator seemed to be constantly moving around.

Even without the other party knowing about the rabbit demon beast secretly searching for it, it seemed like the other party was already doing their best to hide their movements. Making the already difficult task even harder. Forcing the rabbit demon beast to slow down what it had originally perceived to be a simple task that could be finished in a few days and take it more seriously.

From the looks of things, the rabbit demon beast realized that the task given by its master was far more difficult than it had first thought after learning that it had to secretly investigate a demonic cultivator in the True Demon Realm.

After all, in the eye of the current rabbit demon beast, a demonic cultivator in the True Demon Realm wasn't that impressive, as it felt confident in winning against any demonic cultivator in the True Demon Realm with its current strength.

Even if the task was just an investigation, it had felt extremely confident in being able to finish everything up in a few days' time before returning to the Iron Sky Kingdom for its reward.

However, things had turned out to be far more difficult than it had first expected, causing it to somewhat regret not asking its master for more when it had heard about the Top Grade Spirit Stones it would be rewarded for completing the mission.

Indeed… It wasn't that easy for it to get its hands on Top Grade Spirit Stones.

…

At the same time that the rabbit demon beast was starting to regret not asking its master for more spirit stones before he had left, the master in question was sitting down inside the now empty palace at the center of the Iron Sky Kingdom's capital city.

"The rabbit demon beast should have reached the Frozen Wastelands and started trying to find that demonic cultivator at this point in time…"

Looking off in the direction of the Frozen Wastelands as he muttered this to himself while praying for the rabbit demon beast's success in being able to find out more about the demonic cultivator and what he might be up to. Especially so considering that this was likely something that would involve the Demon King of the Frozen Wastelands. The most powerful existence in the Frozen Wastelands according to what he knew about the place at the moment. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Of course, though the Demon King of the Frozen Wastelands was the most powerful existence he knew about inside the Frozen Wastelands, Xuan Hao didn't honestly believe him to be the most terrifying existence in the Frozen Wastelands, as he still remembered that the location of one of the four ancient seals was still inside the Frozen Wastelands.

If that seal was undone, it was likely that the Demon King of the Frozen Wastelands would no longer be the strongest existence in the Frozen Wastelands, though, it hopefully wouldn't turn out like that if he could find a way to strengthen the seal and ensure that the existence sealed inside wouldn't get a chance to escape.

"Hopefully, those people from the Fallen Immortal Archipelago can show up and solve this situation for me when the time comes. All I need to do is strengthen the seals so they will last until they show up and hopefully rebuilds those seals…" Muttering this to himself as he thought about the four ancient seals that sealed some kind of terrifying ancient existence, Xuan Hao could not help feeling an unbearable burden on his shoulders.

Understanding that if those seals were really undone, the first to suffer would likely be the Star Shattering Sect given how close it was to the four seals, with one of them latterly being below the ruins of the former Raging Flame Sect, a very short distance away from the Shattered Star Peaks.

The confidence he had in those unknown people from the Fallen Immortal Archipelago being able to solve the situation of the seal and ensure that it wouldn't break wasn't so much because he trusted them, but more so because he understood that he stood little chance of being able to repair the ancient seals on his own in the time he had left before they broke.

The most he felt confident in being able to do in that time would be to strengthen those ancient seals so they could last until those people appeared.

Of course, that was also under the prerequisite that they arrived at time.

If they didn't show up… He would really have to try and think of some more radical solutions to the problems of the ancient seals. Especially considering that the seal he could interact with, and repair were limited to two at the moment.

The ancient seal in the Frozen Wastelands and the ancient seal inside the whirlpool were not something he could interact with at his current realm, as the one in the Frozen Wastelands was impossible for him to find with the current war taking place, while the one in the red whirlpool required him to directly enter the seal itself.

Although it wasn't really entering the seal and it should only be a small fragment of the thing sealed inside the ancient seal inside the space of the red whirlpool, it was simply far too much for him to handle at the moment.

Even breaking through to the Profound Immortal Realm, he doubted that he would be able to face off against such an existence…

Shaking his head as he thought about this, Xuan Hao slowly turned his attention towards a small room located at the core of the palace that the rabbit demon beast had ignored during its stay.

The small room in question was Yi Min's cultivation room, but more importantly, it was also the core of the formation that guarded the entire Iron Sky Kingdom!

Knowing this and already having wanted to personally check out this formation and hopefully gain some insights into the Dao of Formations in the process, Xuan Hao didn't waste any time as he directly entered the room to study the formation. Hoping that he would be able to use the improvements and insight he gained to create a proper teleportation formation in the future when he got back to the sect.
