Chapter 1194 Enlightenment Space, Ancient Cultivation Technique

[Main Quest: Investigate the Four Ancient Dao Seals (Complete)] [Description: You have chanced upon an ancient seal in the ruins of the Raging Flame Sect where you discovered an old man of unknow origin working hard to repair the already breaking seal. Upon closer inspection, you realize that it is only part of a much stronger being that is sealed beneath the ruins of the Raging Flame sect. Understanding this, you decide to follow the old man to find out more about the being sealed so close to your sect.] [Investigate the Four Ancient Dao Seals: 4/4] [Reward: Increase Comprehension of the Dao of Formations and Dao of Light]

[Redeem Reward: Y/N]

Yes!

As the system panel showing the completed quest appeared in front of him, Xuan Hao directly redeemed the reward, curious about how the system would increase his comprehension of the Dao of Formations and the Dao of Light.

Would it be a direct increase like the one he had experienced in the past during the time that the system helped increase his cultivation realm or would it place him inside a special system space like had happened in the past when he received a comprehension related reward from the system.

Whoosh-!

Not even a second after he finished his thoughts, Xuan Hao promptly disappeared from his original location. Soon finding himself inside of the familiar system space for comprehending the dao. "Hm? Sunflowers?" The only difference compared to the past being that there wasn't any barrier around to protect him. Instead found himself in the middle of an endless field of sunflowers with the sun shining down on him from above. At the very least, compared to when the system had helped him comprehend the dao in the past, the Dao present in the sunflower field was far gentler compared to the past. Of course, it could also just be that his strength had increased enough for him to survive without the help of the barrier protecting him. Although he doubted that when he remembered the Dao of Corruption eroding everything in sight. Even if he reached the Profound Immortal Realm, he doubted he would be able to walk freely in the corrupted space where the Dao of Corruption reigned supreme.

With this in mind, the only reason he could walk around in the dao space of the system should be because the system was protecting him in some way or the area, he was at was a lower level dao space compared to the ones he had been to in the past.

Although this might mean that it would take longer to comprehend the dao in such a space, it would at least be safer and allow him to feel the presence of the dao in the place more clearly.

Whoosh~

As he thought about this, Xuan Hao sat down amidst the field of sunflowers before trying to grasp the dao power present in the air all around. Even though he had already guessed that the space he was in should be related to the Dao of Light given the environment, he still had to make sure...

"Huh?" However, after investigating the situation with his divine sense, he could not help opening both of his eyes in shock. "The sunflower field is actually a formation!? Not only that, but it incorporates both the Dao of Formation and the Dao of Light!"

Following the large amount of water rushing into the space from above, the figure of the person behind the destruction of the entrance to the seal arrived above the ancient ruins that had been left behind.

If Xuan Hao had been there, he would immediately have recognized this person as the General of the East Sea Army that he had happened to encounter during his last trip to the blue Sea Empire.

"Huh? Nothing...?" Floating above the ruins that had now been covered in water, the general could not help frowning to himself as he discovered nothing of interest in the underground space.

Even though the ancient ruins had been made from high quality spiritual stones mixed with different spiritual metals, they had long since lost their former luster and were no different than ordinary rocks due to the constant corrosion of the dark miasma that had covered them for a long time.

"Was I wrong? Isn't there something more to this place? The hidden entrance alone should mean something is hidden here... Or has it perhaps already been taken? After all, if the entrance opens periodically every few dozen or hundreds of years like it should have today, it should have been discovered by others long ago..." Muttering this to himself as he arrived at the lowest point of the underground space where the being in the dark miasma had originally been restrained when the seal had been at its full strength, the general frowned unhappily.

Having discovered the earlier disturbance at the river, he rushed over and discovered the hidden entrance just a short time after it closed. Thinking it might hold a treasure or be a hidden tomb of a past expert, he had originally been excited to enter the place.

However, reality was often cruel and after entering the place, he found nothing of value. Only a few ancient ruins that couldn't be used for anything.

"Hm?"

With this in mind, the general was just about to leave disheartened when he discovered a book in the corner of the room located at the bottom of the hole in the middle of the underground space.

"This is... A cultivation technique?"

Picking up the book and examining it up close, the general could not help feeling a bit surprised as he realized that it was a cultivation technique. Although he had no idea about the quality of the cultivation technique, he was certain that it shouldn't be a low quality one considering that it was inside an ancient ruin. Even if it wasn't useful to him, an ancient cultivation technique would definitely be highly valuable and could be sold.

Whoosh~!

Thinking about this, the general felt a renewed sense of happiness as he put the cultivation technique into his interspatial ring before turning around to leave the underground space before it filled up with water.
