For the moment, Huo Hai did not dare linger here. He had no idea what methods the other major sects might possess to track him down, so he kept moving away. Before long, he had left the territory of the Eight-Sect Alliance and ventured deep into the borderlands.
Before long, Huo Hai arrived at the largest Spirit Vein he had visited while searching for Dragon Veins in the past. "This is the place. With that fellow here, it should be able to hold them off for a while." After sensing the mountain range, Huo Hai found that the Spirit Venerable Realm Ferocious Beast still lived there. That Ferocious Beast was a Second-Heaven Spirit Venerable.
Even if someone truly pursued him, Huo Hai could use that Ferocious Beast to stall them for some time. A few days later, he received word from the Celestial Star Sect that the other major sects had no means of locating him.
Only then did Huo Hai relax somewhat. Still, he remained for several more days. Once he confirmed that there truly was no problem, he found a cave near the mountain range and secretly entered it, setting up several powerful Spirit Formations within.
This Spirit Formation had been specially researched by Huo Hai to conceal his aura. "My cultivation is about there now. I should be able to make a breakthrough." After examining himself, Huo Hai found that his cultivation had already drawn very close to the late First Heaven. Reaching this level in such a short time was no small feat, even with Huo Hai's abilities.
Huo Hai had no intention of conserving Spirit Marrow. As long as he had some to use, he would raise his cultivation as quickly as possible. Time was short, and he had to seize every moment of leisure
