Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 910 Anomaly At The Old Pavilion

Rumble~!

At the same time that Shu Yao was busy rebuilding the different spirit stone mines and spiritual herb fields that she had ended up destroying and Xuan Hao was busy teaching Mui, a loud rumbling sound suddenly echoed out across the entire Flying Sword Sect-

”What in the world is happening!? Is there someone fighting close to the sect?”

Instantly alerting the elder who had been put in charge of the Flying Sword Sect after it had been transformed into a branch sect of the Star Shattering Sect, who did not waste a second before trying to find out where the loud rumbling sound had come from.

”Huh? The origin of the rumbling sound seems to be… Grand Elder Xuanʼs old mountain peak!?”

Taking no more than a few minutes to find the origin of the rumbling sound, the elder froze on the spot after realizing that it was the old mountain peak that Grand Elder Xuan had lived on before the establishment of the Star Shattering Sect. Even if he was a Nascent Soul Realm Elder of the sect, he understood that climbing the mountain without prior approval from the Grand Elder would be a bad idea.

Whoosh~

For this reason, the elder decided to take out his communication talisman to try and contact Xuan Hao. Making sure to keep an eye on the mountain peak in case something other than the increasingly loud rumbling sounds, that could now be heard by everyone in the sect, took place.

Meanwhile, in the Star Shattering Sect, Xuan Hao suddenly discovered someone trying to contact him through his communication talisman.

”Song Jia, Mui, it looks like someone is trying to contact me, can I leave you two on your own?”

”Yes! I will make sure to keep an eye on Mui!”

”Ye- Huh? An eye on me?”

Not bothering to stay behind to listen to the two girlsʼ conversation after hearing that they would be fine by themselves, Xuan Hao made his way into his mediation room before answering his communication talisman-

”What!? Something happened to my mountain peak back at the Flying Sword Sect!? No, donʼt approach it for now, I will be there shortly!”

Learning about the weird rumbling sound coming from his old mountain peak, Xuan Hao didnʼt take long to put two and two together. Almost instantly realizing that the loud rumbling sound that the elder in charge of the Flying Sword Sect had heard should have come from the entrance to the mystic realm, that was located beneath his old pavilion.

Did those two disciples of mine do something?

Not having forgotten the fact that Chu Yang and Qing Yi were currently inside the mystic realm, Xuan Hao could not help thinking that his two disciples might have done something that had ended up causing the loud rumbling sound heard by the elder in charge of the Flying Sword Sect.

Even if it was unlikely considering that his disciples were still in the Nascent Soul Realm and should have no way to cause any meaningful damage to a formation that he had no way of damaging, Xuan Hao didnʼt dare underestimate their ability to cause trouble.

Although their strength might be lacking, there should be no lack of ancient formations and powerful demon beasts inside the mystic realm. Accidently activating one of those ancient formations or awakening a powerful demon beast might have a certain effect on the stability of the mystic realmʼs entrance.

The only thing that allowed him to be relatively calm after learning about the change that seemed to have taken place inside the mystic realm, was the fact that he could still feel the different protective measures left with his disciples. Meaning that they were either not related to the change that had taken place in the mystic realm, or that they had not encountered something dangerous enough that they were unable to handle it by themselves.

Even if all of this was reassuring Xuan Hao still did not want to waste too much time knowing that there was something wrong with the mystic realm entrance-

Whoosh~!

Directly using the Drifting Cloud Steps to almost instantaneously teleport to the Flying Sword Sect located almost right next to the Star Shattering Sect. Although he had not been able to directly move to the Flying Sword Sect in a single step, it would have looked no different from actual teleportation in the eyes of someone in the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm. Something that had only been possible due to his recent improvement in the Dao of Space.

”G-Grand Elder Xuan!?”

In turn also working well in scaring the elder who had just contacted him about the anomaly on his old mountain peak, who had just put down the communication talisman before the person he had just been talking to showed up in front of him.

”Hm… I see, there is indeed a rather interesting rumbling sound originating from my mountain peak…” Not bothering too much with the shocked elder beside him, Xuan Hao instead narrowed both of his eyes as he focused all of his attention towards the entrance to the mystic realm hidden away beneath his old pavilion.

A simple scan with his divine sense was more than enough to reveal that rumbling sound that he had begun to hear after arriving at the Flying Sword Sect did indeed originate from the entrance to the mystic realm.

”Grand Elder Xuan, is there anything I can help with?” Having calmed down and seeing how Xuan Hao had suddenly narrowed both his eyes while looking up towards the peak of the mountain with a visible frown on his face, the elder beside him mustered all the courage he could before asking this. Knowing that, getting the attention of a powerful Grand Elder like Xuan Hao might help him return back to the main sect and hand over the job of watching over the Flying Sword Sect to someone else.

After all, even if it was an honor to watch over the Flying Sword Sect, one of the two original sects that made up the Star Shattering Sect, the cultivation environment of the Flying Sword Sect was far worse than the Shattered Star Peaks.

Not to mention the fact that he had to spend most of his time managing the sect, having little time to focus on cultivating…

”Help? No, there isnʼt. If you can, I think it would be best to ensure that no elders or disciples approach the area around my old mountain peak for a few days.” Not at all aware of the inner thoughts of the elder beside him, Xuan Hao casually brushed off his attempt to butter up to him and soon refocused his attention back on the entrance to the mystic realm.

During this period of time, his divine sense had managed to detect some unusual changes in the formation guarding the entrance to the mystic realm.

The changes in question were small and almost undetectable, but it had allowed Xuan Hao to spot some flaws in the ancient formation. Allowing him to see a possibility of ignoring the cultivation limit placed on the entrance and sneaking inside the mystic realm himself.

But in the end, this only lasted for a short moment, as the ancient formation automatically repaired the flaws before he could properly understand and make use of them.

Indeed, a terrifying formation, even after reaching the Intermediate Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, I am at most able to spot a few minor flaws. Breaking the formation is still something impossible with my current strength. At most I might get a chance to sneak past it with the help of the abnormality taking place inside the mystic realm…

Swoosh~

Knowing that it would be easier for him to investigate and keep and eye on the changes taking place inside the mystic realm next to the entrance, as he could only see the inside with his own eyes due to the formation blocking his divine sense from entering, Xuan Hao made his way up the mountain.

Not aware of the helpless and sad expression on the face of the elder who had been thoroughly ignored after Xuan Hao had noticed the abnormality at the entrance to the mystic realm.

”No need for my help…” Muttering this to himself as he gazed up the mountain where Xuan Hao had disappeared, the elder who had been hoping for an easy way out of his current job of watching over the Flying Sword Sect, understood that he would not be able to return to the main sect any time soon.

Even worse, considering what Xuan Hao had said about not allowing anyone close to his mountain peak over the next few days, it meant he would have to drive away some of the branch elders and disciples living in the mountain peaks located right next to it.

Something that would inevitably draw the attention of the rest of the branch elders and disciples in the sect…
