Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 2038  Stepping Into the True Core of the Holy Lake

Looking through the interspatial rings that had been entirely filled up with rocks, Xuan Hao could not help second guessing his own actions. Questioning himself if it was truly a good idea to waste up all the space in his interspatial rings on floating rocks.

But after thinking things through for a bit, he felt like it wouldnʼt do any harm. In case he ended up encountering some treasure or other valuable object that he wanted to take out of the ancient secret realm in the future, he could always throw out a few of the rocks. Not to mention, he had made sure to leave a bit of space in his primary interspatial ring for anything he might have to grab in the future without a chance to throw out floating rocks ahead of time.

The only troublesome thing about the current situation being that while interspatial rings could be stored inside other interspatial rings, that was only when the interspatial rings being stored had nothing inside them and were inactive. Now that he had filled up over a hundred interspatial rings, it meant he had to carry around the more than a hundred interspatial rings, something that ultimately resulted in him now carrying a simple bag that he had slung over his shoulder filled with interspatial rings.

Although the bag in question wouldnʼt affect his strength, he still had to keep an eye on it to prevent it from potentially being destroyed during a clash with the demonic beasts. After all, though interspatial rings were among the more durable kind of spiritual artifacts, they wouldnʼt be able to endure the direct attack of someone at the Celestial Immortal Realm, let alone a group of demon beasts close to the Venerable Realm.

Feeling somewhat uneasy as he thought about the strength of the demon beast he would soon have to face off against, he slowly glanced towards the formation around the true core of the holy lake that had remained completely isolated and unaffected by the dao fire that had swept through earlier. The fact that the formation had been able to endure without exerting any strength also confirmed to him that the strength of this formation was far beyond anything he could handle at his current level.

In other words, the second he stepped through it, it would be difficult for him to leave again on his own accord without dealing with the demon beasts like the formation spirit wanted him to.

Of course, he had already expected this to some extent and wasnʼt too surprised, it was just that he didnʼt entirely trust the formation spirit and ultimately still wanted to have a clear escape path in case the formation spirit turned against him.

Problem was, though he wanted an escape path, he understood from a glance that it would be impossible for him to escape on his own once he entered the core of the holy lake where the true core of the formation was located. The only potential path he saw being that he might be able to force the formation spiritʼs attention entirely onto him, giving the guardian formation of the ancient secret realm an opportunity to strike.

After all, though he was still uncertain about how trustworthy the formation spirit was given his limited interaction with the other party, he was certain that the hostility between the formation spirit and the guardian formation of the ancient secret realm was realm.

Not because he had sensed what had happened outside the holy lake not long ago, but instead because the formation spirit would have had no reason to interact with him in the first place if it had been on the same side as the guardian formation of the ancient secret realm. Striking him down alongside the guardian formation would have been the first course of action following his appearance and the other party seeing through his strength.

Lost in his own thoughts for a few seconds as he thought about what to do, he ultimately still ended up going along with the original goal of helping the formation spirit, as doing that presented him with a clear opportunity to encounter the ancient residence of the Noble Li Clan…
