"Haaa... At least everything ended up working well." Shaking his head as he muttered this to himself while looking down towards the dark miasma still struggling against the seal below, the old man let out a sigh of relief after seeing that the seal hadn't been damaged by the sudden change in location.
The only thing that seemed to have changed compared to before was the fact that the entrance to the underground space that had been present before had disappeared. Instead, being replaced by a small tunnel barely large enough for one person to fit through.
Given that the seal relocation disc had a predetermined location that it had locked on to when used, there wasn't any problems with the new location of the seal, as it had already been prepared for the seal in case it was moved there.
Thinking about this, the old man began to take out the smaller disc shaped artifact in preparation for leaving the place and making his way back to the Fallen Immortal Archipelago and inform his elders about what had happened.
"Looks like it's time for me to leave..." Turning around as he said this the old man wasted no time as he began the process of infusing his qi into the artifact to activate.
"Leaving!?" Seeing this, Xuan Hao who still had some question he wanted to ask the old man could not help showing a shocked expression on his face as he said this.
Although he knew that the old man would be leaving after the seal had been relocated, he never expected him to act that fast and begin the process of infusing his qi into the disc shaped artifact before he had a chance to ask him any more questions.
"Indeed, I really wanted to stay longer, but any more delay and I might be forced to stay on the Ewaria Continent for an extended period of time to wait out some of the more terrifying storms my elders predicted to reach the patch of ocean between the Ewaria Continent and the Fallen Immortal Archipelago..." Seeing Xuan Hao's shocked expression, the old man could not help shaking his head as he said this.
If not for the fact that he had already been delayed by Xuan Hao's earlier question and the movement of the seal adding another few days to his journey, he really wanted to stay and chat a bit longer with him.
"Storms strong enough to endanger someone in the Domain Lord Realm? I guess the endless ocean is far more dangerous than I first expected..." "Indeed, some of those storms can even threaten the life of those in the Profound Immortal Realm. Although storms like that are rare close to any of the four continents and normally also involve the presence of powerful demon beasts beneath the surface...
Outside of that, he had also been given the token by the old man that would allow him to know when the elders from his family appeared on the Ewaria Continent. At least giving him some time to prepare before he had to face them...
Whoosh~
Deciding not to waste any more time in the underground space now that the old man had left, Xuan Hao soon left the underground space through the narrow tunnel. Soon finding himself inside a large mountain range stretching far beyond what he could see.
"Huh? Isn't this the Burning Mountain Range!?" Discovering where he was after only looking around for a few seconds, Xuan Hao could not help showing a somewhat shocked expression on his face.
Although part of the Burning Mountain Range did indeed run through Blue Sea Empire, it didn't connect the Blue Sea Empire and the Sky Empire. Instead, the part of the Burning Mountain Range that he was currently inside of should be connected to the Blue Sea Empire through one of the neighboring empires of the Sky Empire currently in the process of attacking the Sky Empire. To be more specific, the empire in question was none other than the Onyx Empire!
However, the thing Xuan Hao focused the most on regarding his new location was that he could see the primeval jungle that the primeval jungle Chun Hua had to cross through to reach the central region of the continent in the past was right next to where he was at the Burning Mountain Range.
Although the sheer size of the primeval jungle meant that it connected to several massive empires in the core region of the continent.
"Maybe I should take the chance to search for Chun Hua now that the situation with the Heavenly Dragon Temple has been dealt with for the foreseeable future..." Narrowing both his eyes as he looked towards the primeval jungle barely visible on the other side of the Burning Mountain Range, Xuan Hao could not help remembering the potential disciple he had encountered back when he had first wandered through the ancient teleportation formation back at the Eighth Star Peak.
Given his current strength and the fact that he had implanted part of his power inside her soul back then, he could vaguely feel her presence somewhere in the distance. Although he couldn't tell if she was still inside the primeval jungle or had managed to make through the jungle, he should be able to track her down following the vague presence of his own power inside her soul, as it would only become easier to sense the closer, he got to her.
Let's do that then, but first, I should check out the rewards from the systems...
Having come to a decision, Xuan Hao first decided to redeem the rewards from the system and increase his own strength before leaving in search of his future fifth disciple...
