Chapter 1385 Confused
As the situation with the space node stone was pretty much resolved for now, the ancestor of the Blue Sea Empire didn't continue lingering around the outer regions, as he immediately made his way back towards the Blue Sea Empire without wasting a second. Understanding that continuing to stay in the outer regions of the continent would only end up endangering him, as killed a single demonic cultivator in the Demon King Realm should have already ended up alerting some of the stronger demonic cultivators to his presence.
Luckily for him, now that he was no longer restricted by the spatial artifact that the now dead demonic cultivator had used on him, he could make full use of his comprehension of the Dao of Space to rapidly leave the area before anyone arrived to stop him.
All of this was not at all what Xuan Hao had expected to happen when he sold the information to the blue Sea Empire, as he had never expected that the person who went to check out the potential space node stone mine to actually be someone in the Middle Stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm proficient in the Dao of Space.
Not just that, but this person had even managed to kill the demonic cultivator in the Demon King Realm that he had been worried about. Completely changing things up, as the Blue Sea Empire not only didn't lose anything from this exchange, but instead only managed to gain something.
After all, even if a space node stone mine by itself was already something precious, it couldn't be utilized at the moment.
Killing a demonic cultivator at the Demon King Realm on the other hand was something that not only showed off the Blue Sea Empire's strength, but also weakened the demonic cultivators of the Frozen Wasteland significantly. After all, a demonic cultivator at the Demon King Realm was a significant figure inside the Frozen Wasteland.
In the end, everything concluded without the Blue Sea Empire losing anything and only the demonic cultivators of the Frozen Wasteland being the ones who ended up taking a significant loss from the entire ordeal.
None of this was what Xuan Hao wanted to see happen, but he was none the wiser, as he was currently in the process of trying to understand the ancient teleportation formation on the Eighth Star Peak, while also waiting for any news regarding the Blue Sea Empire and their ancestors moving out to rescue a struggling ancestor.
At the same time, the Star Shattering Sect had also begun to prepare for a potential massive demonic cultivator attack that was not going to come any time soon.
Of course, it wasn't entirely wasted effort, as the demonic cultivators would still remain a constant threat, and the Star Shattering Sect did have to make at least some preparations in case a major attack did end up taking place.
Not to mention, even if the demonic cultivators didn't end up posing any threat to the Star Shattering Sect in the future, they would still have to be prepared to guard against other major powers like the Blue Sea Empire in case they ended up targeting the Star Shattering Sect, thus further justifying the sect strengthening its borders and dispatching more of their elders to guard the area.
Also giving these elders of the sect, a good chance to familiarize themselves with the new borders of the sect in the process.
…
"Nothing is happening… Did the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire perhaps sense the danger and managed to escape before getting blocked from escaping by the demonic cultivators?"
As a little over a week passed since he had returned back to the sect and started researching the ancient teleportation formation in an attempt to figure out how to make a teleportation formation of his own, Xuan Hao found himself standing up with a somewhat confused expression on his face. Not understanding why, he didn't get any news about something major happening in the Blue Sea Empire nor any news from the Xuan Gui about something major happening among the demonic cultivators.
On the surface, it seemed like nothing had happened in the past week. However, he understood that at this point in time, the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire that had gone to investigate the authenticity of the space node mine should have clashed with the suspected Demon King Realm demonic cultivator that he suspected to have been in control of the space node stone mine.
"Unless… The space node stone mine wasn't under the control of a Demon King Realm demonic cultivator, but instead a group of Demon Lord Realm demonic cultivators. Although unlikely, it is possible…" Muttering this to himself as he came up with another reason why the nothing might have happened, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a bit regretful about selling the information on the space node stone to the Blue Sea Empire.
After all, if it was really controlled by a group of Demon Lord Realm demonic cultivators instead of a Demon King Realm demonic cultivator, he might have stood a chance trying to take control of the mine with his current strength.
But then again… It would still be really risky, as he didn't really know much about the rest of the Demon Lord Realm demonic cultivators who might be part of the group potentially in control of the space node stone mine.
"Haaa… Even if I wanted to take control of it, it looks like it wouldn't be that easy to accomplish. Selling the information to the Blue Sea Empire at least guarantees that I can get something out of it. Not to mention, the mine is on the other side of the Frozen Wasteland and will be difficult to make use of before the war with the demonic cultivators is over.
By the time that the war ends, I should have become stronger and might even stand a chance of taking control of that mine!" Narrowing both his eyes as he said this to himself, Xuan Hao soon shook his head before turning his attention back towards the ancient teleportation formation in front of him.
