Chapter 911 A Path To Entering The Mystic Realm

Arriving in front of the entrance located below his old pavilion, it did not take long before Xuan Hao noticed the large number of demon beasts on the other side of the entrance to the mystic realm. Although most of these demon beasts were no stronger than the Foundation Establishment, it was obvious that they were all filled with fear as they looked in the opposite direction of the entrance to the mystic realm. Making it rather obvious that some kind of powerful demon beast should have made its way inside the underground space.

Given that the loud rumbling sound that he had heard from the moment he arrived at the Flying Sword Sect also seemed to originate from the direction that the group of demon beasts were looking towards filled with fear, it became rather obvious that the loud rumbling sound should have originated from the thing these demon beasts had been fleeing from… And given just how loud the rumbling sound was, Xuan Hao expected there to be more than just a single powerful demon beast.

ROAR!

As if on cue, a loud roar echoed throughout the entire underground space located below the entrance before a large demon beast the size of a small house appeared in the distance. Even from a glance, Xuan Hao could tell that this giant demon beast had already reached the Later Stages of the Nascent Soul Realm. Even showing signs of reaching the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm!

ROAR-!

ROOOOAR!

Not long after the first Nascent Soul Realm demon beast showed up, it did not take long before more demon beasts began showing up one after the other. All having at least reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

As a result, the weaker demon beast who had been fearful shivering since the arrival of the first Nascent Soul Realm demon beast, had gathered together in a corner at the edge of the cliff leading up towards the entrance, or in their case, exit to the mystic realm. Not daring to make a single sound. Fearful that it might end up attracting the attention of the Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts who had been ignoring them so far.

However, the continuous arrival of new demon beast soon caused the space beneath the cliff to start getting crowded, causing some of Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts to swallow up some of the weaker Foundation Establishment or Qi Condensation Realm demon beast to make more space for themselves beneath the cliff.

From the perspective of Xuan Hao who was looking down on these demon beasts from above, all of this seemed rather odd. After all, they had not done anything after arriving at the bottom of the cliff.

Even if it was understandable for the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment Realm demon beast to not have the ability to climb up the cliff with their strength and rather large bodies unsuitable for climbing, the same could not be said for the Nascent Soul Realm demon beast.

After all, with their current strength, they should have more than enough strength to simply jump up the cliff with the use of their powerful physical strength, let alone scaling the cliff!

The fact that none of them had even tried doing this was rather odd, making Xuan Hao believe that the entrance to the mystic realm had some kind of concealing effect that hid it from the different demon beasts living inside the mystic realm. Other than this, he could not think of any other reason as to why the demon beasts would crowd together beneath the cliff instead of just climbing up towards the exit located directly above them. Of course, it could also be that they had already tried this before and knew that there was some kind of formation in place to stop them from leaving.

No matter what it was, it did not make Xuan Hao any less curious about what was taking place in the underground space below him. After all, from the behavior of these demon beasts that seemed to have been the origin of the loud rumbling sound, it looked like their state was no different from the weaker Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment Realm demon beast. All looking in the direction they had just come from filled with fear.

Rustle~

It did not take long before the culprits behind the fearful Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts showed themselves, as what looked like a special kind of spider demon beasts began filling up the underground space. Leaving no place for the demon beasts to escape.

Although most of the spiders had not reached the Nascent Soul Realm and were at most in the Core Formation or Foundation Establishment Realm, with the majority only having reached the Qi Condensation Realm. The sheer number of spiders present was more than enough to make up for the lack of strength.

Not to mention these Nascent Soul Realm demon beast, Xuan Hao even doubted someone in the First stage of the Domain Lord Realm would be able to kill all of these spiders before running out of strength and being overwhelmed by them. Something that was easier said than done considering just how easy it would be for someone in the Domain Lord Realm to kill a large number of these spiders through the use of a domain…

”Hm? One of them is actually trying to climb up the cliff?”

Observing how the spiders were getting closer and closer to the fearful Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts who had realized that there was no path for them to escape, Xuan Hao suddenly noticed one of the more agile demon beasts in the Foundation Establishment Realm trying to climb up the cliff in an attempt to escape form both the Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts and the incoming swarm of spiders. Having come to the realization that climbing to the top of the cliff and finding a crack to hide inside might be the only chance to escape its current precarious situation alive.

Will it be able to leave the mystic realm? Or will it be stopped by the formation before it can leave?

Narrowing his eyes as he thought about this, Xuan Hao ignored the fighting that started to take place between the Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts and the endless swarm of spiders. Feeling far more interested in whether or not the demon beasts inside the mystic realm had the ability to leave the mystic realm.

After all, if they really did have the ability to leave the mystic realm, it meant he would have to set up some kind of formation of his own to prevent the demon beasts inside from suddenly appearing in the middle of the Flying Star Sect and start causing problems.

Although this would not be hard for him to set up a formation that would stop anyone in the Nascent Soul Realm, it would also depend on whether or not the strength of the demon beasts leaving the mystic realm were also limited to the Nascent Soul Realm…

If the limit was still in place for these demon beasts, everything would be fine, but… If the limit did not work on the demon beasts, it would be difficult for him to set up a powerful enough formation to prevent Domain Lord Realm demon beasts from passing through with his current skill in the art of formations.

Even if he could get the help of the elder from the Spring Flower Sect who was skilled in formations and make a formation strong enough to stop anyone in the Domain Lord Realm from forcibly making it through and into the Flying Sword Sect, it would be impossible to make a formation strong enough to stop a demon beast in the Soul Ascension Realm.

Whilst the chance of a Soul Ascension Realm demon beast appearing inside the mystic realm was low, Xuan Hao did not think it would be impossible. Especially considering that the person who had laid down the formation preventing him from entering the mystic realm should be someone above the Soul Ascension Realm.

Whoosh~

Roar!

Lost in his own thoughts as he looked at the ancient formation symbols that were faintly visible in the air that separated him and the mystic realm, an exhausted roar filled with happiness suddenly sounded out beside him, as the weak Foundation Establishment Realm demon beast managed to ascend the cliff before using all of its strength to push through the last part. Directly passing through the barrier separating the mystic realm and the Flying Sword Sect.

Roar-

Swish~

Suddenly realizing that it was not alone, the demon beast barely managed to let out a surprised roar before it was reduced to a bloody mist. Having been instantly killed by Xuan Haoʼs domain after it had managed to pass through the formation.

”So, demon beasts from the mystic realm can pass through the formation, but… It seems like the formation also weakens for a short moment when a demon beast from inside passes through it...” Muttering this to himself as he ignored the bloody mist that slowly drifted away before disappearing in the wind, Xuan Hao narrowed his eyes as he focused his attention on the large number of demon beast below the cliff.
