Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1130 The Realm above the Earth Immortal Realm...

”Donʼt worry, I just happened to pass by the temple while you were activating the teleportation formation and saw it as a great opportunity to save some time by following the spatial passage left behind by the formation. After all, travelling to the border of the Blue Sea Empire normally would take at least a few weeks under normal circumstances.”

Seeing the cautious expression plastered all over the old manʼs face, Xuan Hao reassured him that he didnʼt mean him any harm.

Of course, even with him doing his best to reassure the old man, the old man still remained cautious. Even if Xuan Hao said he didnʼt mean any harm, the old man had no way to make sure this was the case. Especially considering that he had been chased down by a large number of Soul Ascension Realm Experts just a short a few weeks earlier and part of him worried that Xuan Hao was one of these Soul Ascension Realm Experts who had managed to sneak inside the temple without him noticing. Resulting in both of them being teleported outside the Blue Sea Empire in a place where it would be far easier to monopolize the two interspatial rings filled with the wealth of two Earth Immortal Realm Experts that he had on him at the moment.

Whoosh~!

Knowing the thoughts that might be going through the head of the old man, Xuan Hao decided to use his strength to surpass the old man. Not to attack him, but just to show him that he was more than strong enough to kill him if he so wished, while at the same time also showing that he had no reason to lie and try to make him lower his guard against him.

”Earth Immortal Realm…” Feeling the pressure coming from Xuan Hao, the eyes of the old man momentarily flickered as his tensed state relaxed. Understanding that Xuan Hao wasnʼt one of the Soul Ascension Realm Experts who had been chasing after him for the past two years.

Given the strength displayed by Xuan Hao, he understood that he would have no way to resist in his current state if Xuan Hao really wanted to kill him and seize his wealth.

Of course, if he wanted to do that, he would already have done it. Showing that Xuan Hao did indeed not have any ill intentions and should be true to what he said about passing by the spatial passage and deciding to make use of it to save some time in leaving the Blue Sea Empire.

Wait a second… If what he said is true, doesnʼt that mean he managed to travel through the spatial passage without the help of the formation?! This person is actually someone who comprehended the Dao of Space!

Suddenly realizing this, the old man could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine.

The Dao of Space was well known as one of the most difficult Daos to comprehend, only surpassed in difficulty by some of the more legendary Daos, like the Dao of Karma or the Dao of Time.

Even in a large empire like the Blue Sea Empire, the number of people who comprehended the Dao of Space could be counted on one hand. Most of them being among the old ancestors who had surpassed the Earth Immortal Realm or other powerful cultivators who had settled down inside the Blue Sea Empire due to certain special locations inside the empire being helpful to their cultivation.

For someone to comprehend the Dao of Space, that person was undoubtedly a senior in the Earth Immortal Realm or an existence above the Earth Immortal Realm!

With this in mind, the old man felt even more relaxed than before. Understanding very well that there was no reason for someone like that to covet the wealth of someone like himself.

If he really wanted it, there was a much larger chance that he would have just asked him about it directly instead of killing him. After all, even at his best, he was at most a bit stronger than other Earth Immortals. Far from enough to make him comparable to those stronger Earth Immortals who could easily fight a dozen of ordinary Earth Immortals…

Whoosh~

”I see that you understand that I mean you no ill will now.” Removing his pressure on the old man after seeing he archived the effect he wanted, Xuan Hao smiled slightly at the shocked expression on the old manʼs face.

If not for the fact that he had reached the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, he might not have been able to convince the old man so easily. At least his strength would still look like it was in the Soul Ascension Realm. Potentially making the old man think he was one of the people who had been chasing after him for the past two years…

”Iʼm sorry for the earlier rudeness, itʼs just that my current situation is not that good, and I donʼt want to take any risks.”

”I understand, I would be the same in your state. For now, the most important thing for you should be finding somewhere to recover if Iʼm not wrong?”

”Indeed, I will need to find somewhere safe to recover for the next five to ten years or longer without being interrupted. Given that Iʼm a wandering cultivator, it will be a bit difficult if the people who put me in this state decided to start searching for me…” Smiling a bit wryly as he said this, the old man didnʼt bother hiding the fact that he was being chased by someone and even hinted at the fact that he was not attached to any power. Obviously trying to see if Xuan Hao was willing to help him.

After all, it wasnʼt that difficult to find out who was chasing after him considering that he had just escaped from the Blue Sea Empire. Especially when there werenʼt any smaller forces with power inside the Blue Sea Empire like there were in the Sky Empire.

Of course, with how obvious the old man was, Xuan Hao also realized what he was asking for. Given the fact that the old man was someone in the Earth Immortal and had information on the Earth Immortal Realm and would also be able to help teach the disciples and elders of the Star Shattering Sect, Xuan Hao was more than happy to take him in and make him a part of the Star Shattering Sect.

The only problem was that taking him in might cause problems for the Star Shattering Sect if the Blue Sea Empire expanded their search for him outside the borders of the Blue Sea Empire and into the surrounding smaller empires like the Sky Empire.

If he was found at that time, the Star Shattering Sect would have to face off against a power that was equal to if not stronger than the Heavenly Dragon Temple in another few years. Although he and the Star Shattering Sect would be stronger at that point in time, he doubted it would be strong enough to face off against those two terrifying powers at once. Not to mention, he expected to deal with the Earth Immortal from the Heavenly Dragon Temple without the rest of the temple finding out about, as he doubted that person would divulge the place, he wanted to explore in the Shattered Star Peaks.

”…”

Thinking about the benefits and dangers that was involved as he looked over at the nervous old man, Xuan Hao could not help frowning to himself as he couldnʼt come up with a solution. Even if it was beneficial to take in the old man, it was undoubtedly also a great risk to the Star Shattering Sect that had been able to develop relatively peacefully over the years.

”Senior, if I myself isnʼt enough, I also have information on the Celestial Immortal Realm that Iʼm willing to hand over to you to ensure my own safety.” Seeing how hesitant Xuan Hao was, but also seeing that he dared to contemplate going against the Blue Sea Empire, the old man took a deep breath before stepping forward and saying this with a solemn expression on his face.

”Celestial Immortal Realm?” Not knowing what the old man was talking about, Xuan Hao could not help tilting his head in confusion as he asked this.

”Yes! The Celestial Immortal Realm! Iʼm sure you are aware of the danger involved in the blooming process of the lotus flower when breaking through from the Earth Immortal Realm to the Celestial Immortal Realm, the information I want to share is about the tribulation that one will encounter during the blooming process and some ancient information on the realm. Although the last part is undiscernible to me due to it being mostly written in a language, I havenʼt been able to understand.”

Nodding his head as he said this, the old man thought Xuan Hao was interested in agreeing as he took out an ancient looking book and handed it over to him without saying anything more. Understanding that he would not be able to keep the ancient book himself after he told Xuan Hao about it. Gambling on him not just taking the book and leaving.
