Chapter 1188 Gods

After learning that Xuan Hao was related to the Mirage Sect, the old man seemed to fully relax his guard as he turned his attention back towards the being in the dark miasma struggling to break the seal that had once again returned to its weakened state.

"Haaa… For you to come all the way out here to check up on the seals, the person from the Mirage Sect should have trusted you quite a bit, but even if you want to help strengthen these seals, it's useless without the proper equipment." Shaking his head as he said, the old man turned to look directly at Xuan Hao. "I can see that you have quite a few questions you want answered, you can feel more than free to ask. Although I'm in a rush to return and inform my elders about the current situation, I don't think staying here for a few more minutes to answer some questions will have much of an effect." "This- Thank you!" Not having expected that the old man had managed to guess his intentions for stopping him, Xuan Hao could only freeze up for a short second before thanking him.

"No need for that, just keep things short and I will be more than happy to answer before leaving."

"Okay… First of all, is there no way to strengthen or repair the seal outside of getting the help of your elders?" Thinking about the first question to ask for a bit, Xuan Hao ultimately decided to first ask about the seal and if there was any to repair outside of getting the help of the elders from the force that the old man was part of.

After all, the seal being broken would undoubtedly end up affecting the Star Shattering Sect.

"Another way to repair the seal outside of getting my elders help…? Hehe, well, there is a way…"

"Really!?"

"Yes, you can get an existence above the Celestial Immortal Realm to take action, but… Considering the current state of this continent, I doubt there is such an existence present here at the moment…"

"Any other way…?" Hearing that the other way mentioned by the old man was to get an existence above the Celestial Immortal Realm to act, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine as he felt like he got an idea about the strength of the elders mentioned by the old man.

Even though the existence of gods were a terrifying concept, they wouldn't care about their believers unless it began to seriously affect the faith they collected for an extended period of time.

"So… I have nothing to worry about even if I happened to fall out with some of their believers?" "Indeed, nothing to worry about. Even if you ended up affecting their faith collection process, it would take hundreds of years before they would notice or care about it. After all, most gods have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, some even dating back to the time before the calamity."

"That's… Relieving…"

Not knowing how to feel about the sudden knowledge that the gods behind the different religions he had encountered actually existed and were powerful ancient existences that surpassed the strength of a Celestial Immortal, Xuan Hao decided that it would be best to not fight these religions in the future if possible.

"Now that you got your answer, do you have any other questions? Ah! Before that, if you want to know about the Mirage Sect and the being in the seal, I can't answer, as I don't really know much about it myself. The only reason I noticed your robe was due to it being in some of my family's ancient records that mentioned the Mirage Sect being one of our allies, outside of that, I don't really know much about the Mirage Sect."

Listening to the old man as he said this, Xuan Hao could not help frowning.

Out of all the things he wanted to ask the old man about, the Mirage Sect and the being in the seal was on the top of the list.

He wanted to know more about the Mirage Sect to find more of the Celestial Trails, while also wanting to find out if there was a way to repay the old senior from the Mirage Sect who had helped him. The reason for knowing more about the being in the seal was rather obvious, as he would inevitably have to face it given the current state of the seals that kept it locked away, constantly weakening with each passing second.

Hm… If I can't learn anything about the Mirage Sect and more information on the being in the seal is impossible… I guess I can only ask about where he is from and the breaking- something cultivation realm that he mentioned earlier. Maybe he knows something about the Dao Domain Lord Realm and is capable of helping me. After all, he does have seniors in his family above the Celestial Immortal Realm, with such strength, his family should know about the Dao Domain Lord Realm…

Thinking this to himself, the frown on his face disappeared as his eyes lit up in anticipation.
