The gray-robed cultivator was somewhat proficient in formations and had been focusing all his efforts on breaking the formation.

He noticed the breach in the stable formation immediately after his companion self-destructed and rushed over, hoping to seize the opportunity to break the formation.

Unfortunately, everything in the formation was under Xu Hao's surveillance, and his every move could not escape Xu Hao's eyes.

"Breaking the formation won't be that easy."

Xu Hao entered the formation and stood in front of the gray-robed cultivator.

The gray-robed cultivator's face was ashen; he hadn't expected things to develop to this point.

"There are indeed some conflicts between the two city lords, but we have no grudges against each other. There is no need to go to such lengths to kill us."

Xu Hao smiled.

“That’s not what you just said.”

The gray-robed monk forced a fawning but somewhat awkward smile onto his face.

"I was blind and offended you, brother..."

Xu Hao already knew what he was going to say next, and since he was too lazy to listen, he directly interrupted him by swinging his sword.

"Chi!!"

Seeing that reasoning with him was futile, the gray-robed cultivator knew that he had no choice but to fight with all his might.

Unfortunately, he knew nothing about Xu Hao's strength. Inside the formation, Xu Hao had no need to hide anything and directly activated the full power of the Ancient Sacred Body.

In just three moves, the gray-robed cultivator was killed and his cultivation dissipated.

The last one, hiding in a corner of the formation, also could not escape its fate.

After collecting the spoils of war and the array flags and array plates, Xu Hao quickly fled far away.

Before long, someone arrived, but Xu Hao was already thousands of miles away.

In fact, Xu Hao knew from the beginning that the five gray-robed cultivators were following him. After all, he had been cultivating with Xu Chu and was extremely skilled in concealment and counter-tracking.

If he deliberately conceals his presence, it will be very difficult to find him unless one possesses an exceptionally strong physique or certain martial arts techniques.

The reason Xu Hao didn't do that was because the five of them saw him as prey, and Xu Hao also wanted their property.

As Xu Hao flew, he pondered what to do with the Blue Moon Grass.

The most cost-effective way is to wait until this matter is resolved, then bring the Blue Moon Grass home and give it to Xu Chu to refine into a pill, thus maximizing the Blue Moon Grass's effects.

Conversely, the least cost-effective option is to take the refining now.

Although this might be a waste of the medicine's potency, it would allow Xu Hao to break through to the fourth level of the Dharma Aspect realm. Here, more strength means more security.

Xu Hao hesitated for only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before making his decision: he would refine the Blue Moon Grass to increase his strength.

Although a top-ten finish is out of reach for him, he will still try his best to achieve it; the allure of a spot in the Ancient Battlefield is too great for him!

However, just as Xu Hao was preparing to find a place to hide and refine the Blue Moon Grass, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

"I wonder if I can go through that door and return to the Xu family from here?"

Xu Hao had already figured out the principle behind the double-door system.

If he enters Qilan City, he will return to the Xu family; if he enters the Xu family, he will return to Qilan City.

When he arrived in Zhentian City from Qilan City, and then returned to the Xu family through the double-passage gate, he was already in Zhentian City.

Simply put, the place he leaves is the place he will appear when he returns.

So after this thought came to Xu Hao's mind, his heart began to race.

Because if it's feasible, it means he can go back to the Xu family before the small world opens, and then come back and stay here forever.

There are many rare and precious materials here, including sacred gold inherited from the Holy Realm, and there is a lot of room for exploration.

"No, no, if I stay here and can't leave the small world, I'll never be able to return to the Immortal Realm!!"

That would mean he could only travel back and forth between the small world and the Xu family, unless he mastered a way to leave the small world.

"Oh, what a pity."

Although this bold idea is not feasible, we can still try to go back to the Xu family and give the Blue Moon Grass to Xu Chu so that he can refine it into a pill.

Xu Hao immediately carved out a cave in a small mountain and set up multiple formations around it.

Xu Hao closed his eyes and thought to himself. The door appeared, he stepped through it, opened his eyes, and found himself back in his own courtyard in the Xu family.

"It really works!"

Xu Hao hurriedly went to find Xu Chu.

"Brother Chu, I've obtained a Blue Moon Grass. Can you help me refine it into a pill?"

Xu Chu's eyes lit up when he saw the Blue Moon Grass.

"You're quite lucky, kid. This spiritual herb is very rare. Are you in a hurry for the pills?"

Xu Hao said, "The sooner the better."

“Okay, I’ll refine it for you now,” Xu Chu replied.

Most of the Xu family's rare and precious materials are kept in one place, and he has a key to it so he can retrieve and use them at any time.

Since Xu Hao was in a hurry to use it, he went directly to find the necessary auxiliary materials and began to refine it.

The pills refined from Blue Moon Grass belong to the Integration Realm level. With Xu Chu's alchemy master level, refining them can be said to be a piece of cake. What's more, he also has mastered the secret technique of refining pills across a major realm.

Xu Hao wasn't worried about failure at all, so he didn't go back. Instead, he waited at the Xu family home for half a month, and Xu Chu successfully refined it.

"A total of eight pills will be made. Cultivators at the first, second, or third level of the Body Integration Realm can break through one level after taking them. The effect will be reduced by more than half after the second dose. Although you are at the Dharma Aspect Realm, there should be no problem for you to take them given your physique."

If an ordinary cultivator at the Dharma Aspect Realm takes this pill, they might even explode and die if they are not careful.

However, Xu Hao possesses the Ancient Sacred Body, which requires even more energy for breakthroughs, so there's no need to worry about this issue.

Xu Hao took two, "Give the rest to the clan leader."

Su Xinyan and the other two are all at the Integration Realm now, and they need this pill.

Xu Hao returned to his courtyard and immediately took the pills to begin his cultivation.

"boom!!"

A powerful medicinal force transformed into a stream of heat, which, under Xu Hao's control, flowed through his meridians to his limbs and bones.

The pills taken by this Nascent Soul cultivator were indeed very potent. One pill directly enabled Xu Hao to break through to the fourth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, and he eventually stopped at a point very close to the fifth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

After the effects of the medicine were fully absorbed, Xu Hao swallowed the second pill without hesitation.

Although the second pill was much less effective, it still helped Xu Hao, who was already just a little short of the fifth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, to successfully break through.

If Xu Hao, now at the fifth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, were to encounter the five gray-robed cultivators again, he could easily annihilate them without using the Four Spirits Mountain and River Formation. Even if they used secret techniques to forcibly enhance their cultivation, they would still be no match for Xu Hao.

After stabilizing his realm, Xu Hao opened his eyes again, and various strange phenomena of heaven and earth flashed before his eyes, which were quite profound.

"It's time to go back."

Xu Hao used the double portal to return to the small world, left the cave, and continued his exploration.
