Chapter 1115 A Waste of Resources
Swish-!
Having finished his breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, Xuan Hao didn't waste a second before using all of his strength to jump off the ground and use the Drifting Cloud Steps to teleport away from the two illusory wooden gates.
Roar!
Almost the instant that he disappeared, a large illusory beast in the shape of massive bear appeared above where he had been before it violently smashed into the ground. Creating a crater a few thousand meters in size where it landed. The only thing that survived being the area covered by the terrifying illusion.
Even if the illusory beast had reached the Earth Immortal Realm, it didn't even cause a single ripple to appear on the surface of the illusion-
Whoosh-!
On the other hand, it seemed like the violent attack of the illusory beast had caused some kind of defensive response from the illusion as it suddenly expanded in size and swallowed up the illusory beast before it could retreat, causing the massive illusory beast to disappear without any sign of resistance.
In the short time it had taken for the illusory beast to land on the ground in front of the terrifying illusion where Xuan Hao had been cultivating to it being swallowed by the illusion, less than a single second had elapsed… And in that short period of time, a powerful Earth Immortal Realm illusory beast had essentially been dealt with by the illusions without any way to resist.
So… This is why the illusory beasts don't dare to try and break the illusion…
Having watched all of this from afar as the bear shaped illusory beast was still inside the range of his divine sense when it had been swallowed up by the illusion, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine as he remembered how he had tried to enter the illusion in the past to test if he could reach the two illusory wooden gates guarded by the terrifying illusion.
Only after seeing the fate of the bear shaped illusory beast did, he understand why the Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts didn't dare trying to breakthrough the illusion forcefully and leave the Valley of Illusory Beast.
Even though they had reached the Earth Immortal Realm, they had no way to resist in the face of the terrifying illusion…
"Maybe I should try and find another way to leave the valley…" Muttering this to himself as he remained in the air looking back towards the place where the bear illusory beast had been just a few seconds earlier, Xuan Hao shook his head before turning around to leave for a safe place where he could stabilize his cultivation base without having to worry about being randomly attack by Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts.
At the very least, after he broke through to the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, the area covered by his divine sense expanded as the strength of his soul increased and should exceed the size of the different Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts roaming around the valley.
For now, checking his progress and just how much his strength increased after he broke through to the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm would have to wait until he finished stabilizing his cultivation base.
…
At the same time Xuan Hao successfully managed to break through to the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, Chu Li was looking towards the wooden gate connected to the Valley of Illusory Beasts with both curiosity and fear in his eyes.
"The presence of Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts is still present whenever I poke my head inside. Not only that, but the terrifying aura just now should have been the result of an Earth Immortal Realm illusory beast fighting someone not too far away from the wooden gate…" Muttering this to himself, Chi Lu could not help wondering if the senior had something to do with the terrifying aura of battle that he felt when he poked his head through the gate just now.
Although he had never seen the illusory beasts fighting with each other before and felt that it should be related to the senior, he could never to too certain when it came to the Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts. After all, compared to the other illusory beasts, the ones in the Earth Immortal Realm were far smarter. Meaning that they might also be hostile to other illusory beasts. "But… If it's not related to the senior, it might have something to do with why things inside the valley haven't calmed down after an entire year." Narrowing both his eyes as he continued to observe the wooden gate in front of him, Chu Li felt a increasing curiosity about what had happened inside the Valley of Illusory beasts during the past year.
No matter what had ended up happening, it had caused the Earth Immortal Realm illusory beasts to continue staying in the outer part of the valley instead of returning back to the deeper part of the valley after a short period of time like they had done in the past.
Squeak…
Interrupting his train of thought at this moment, the rabbit demon beast appeared not too far away from the Chu Li as it stared towards the wooden gate connected to the Valley of Illusory Beasts with a sense of longing.
"Hm? What is it little fellow? Are you perhaps missing your master?"
Seeing the rabbit demon beast, Chu Li guessed what might be on its mind as he said this before reaching down to pick it up-
SQUEAK!
However, before Chu Li had a chance to grab hold of it, the rabbit demon beast managed to turn around and escape into the Ephemeral Forest behind them. Making full use of its increased speed after reaching the Fourth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm to dodge the fast hands of Chu Li.
"Huh, quite a shy one. Oh well, I should also get back to training, I feel like I'm about to reach a breakthrough in my comprehension of the Dao of Space." Shaking his head with a small smile on his lips as he said this, Chu Li turned around and made his way back into the Ephemeral Forest where both the squirrel and rabbit demon beast spent most of their time training.
Not much different from them, he had also used the past year training or to be more accurate, comprehending the Dao of Space.
The reason for this was simple, as he personally began to see the benefits that the Dao of Space had on his strength and comprehension of the Dao of Illusions.
Just by comprehending the Dao of Space, he opened several new pathways to understand the Dao of Illusions. Giving him a brand-new way to comprehend the Dao of Illusions that he had never thought possible before.
In the end, this had resulted in his admiration and respect for Xuan Hao growing exponentially over the past year, to the degree where he now saw him as a figure on par with the old ancestors of the Blue Sea Empire. Existences he had never seen before and had only heard about in legends as people far surpassing the Earth Immortal Realm.
Because of this, Chu Li also made sure to spend any spare time he had on helping Xuan Hao's demon beasts, as it was the only way he could repay Xuan Hao for his guidance.
As a result of this, the rabbit demon beast never ran out of spirit stones during the past half year, while its cultivation also managed to break through to the Fourth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm with the help of some special spiritual herbs suitable for nurturing demon beasts from Chu Li.
In the end, the reason why the rabbit demon beast tolerated Chu Li's clingy behavior from time to time was because of these precious spiritual herbs…
On the other hand, the squirrel that had only been in the Foundation Establishment Realm when Xuan Hao left experienced the biggest change over the past year. Going from the Foundation Establishment Realm all the way to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible to improve so quickly, but the countless precious spiritual herbs provided by Chu Li and the favorable environment had allowed the squirrel to improve at a speed that surpassed even the most talented of human geniuses.
In a sense, it was understandable when considering that most of the precious spiritual herbs eaten by the squirrel were at the Transcendent Grade with one of them even having reached the Immortal Grade, the grade of spiritual herbs above the Transcendent Grade and normally something reserved for those in the Earth Immortal Realm.
All of this was what allowed the squirrel to reach the Nascent Soul Realm in a short year. Thinking about it for more than a few seconds, it was truly a waste to use so many precious spiritual herbs to help a single demon beast reach the Nascent Soul Realm, but… Chu Li couldn't think of any other way to repay Xuan Hao other help take care of his demon beasts…
