Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

At the same time Xuan Hao and Feng Chen discovered that Feng Chen was breaking through to the Domain Lord Realm, the rest of the elders and disciples also discovered that although a terrifying aura had engulfed them, it did not hurt them in the slightest.

”This is… Someone is breaking through! And from the looks of it, it’s not a simple breakthrough!”

”The location of the aura is the sect master pavilion… Did he perhaps break through to the Domain Lord Realm!?”

As time passed, a few of the stronger elders quickly discovered the origin of the terrifying aura. Not taking too long to conclude that the terrifying aura and visual phenomenon was a result of Feng Chen breaking through to the Domain Lord Ream.

”The sect master is breaking through to the Domain Lord Realm? Does this not mean that the sect will have another Domain Lord Realm Expert outside the two Grand Elders in the future!?”

”To think the Star Shattering Sect is about to grow even stronger… It was a good choice for me to join the sect instead of the local sect I originally planned to join!”

The disciples and weaker elders soon caught onto this news, as all of them were filled with happiness knowing that the terrifying aura spreading across the entire sect was a result of the sect master’s breakthrough to the Domain Lord Realm.

Not only that, but it also helped these elders and disciples understand just how terrifying the strength of a Domain Lord Realm Expert was, unconsciously making them respect the two Grand Elders, Shu Yao, and Xuan Hao, who had already reached the Domain Lord Realm.

…

Fwoosh-!

At the same time that everyone inside the Star Shattering Sect’s attention was gathered towards the visual phenomenon that had appeared in the air along with the figure of Feng Chen that was barely visible at the centre of this phenomenon, the person in question had both his eyes closed. Remaining fully focused on his breakthrough without caring about what was happening in the world outside.

Whoosh~

Having entered a mysterious state, Feng Chen’s pseudo domain rapidly started expanding in all directions.

”If its anything like my breakthrough-”

Rumble-!

Muttering This to himself as he watched Feng Chen’s pseudo sword domain rapidly expanding in all directions, Xuan Hao didn’t even manage to finish what he was saying before the building below Feng Chen was destroyed by the rapidly expanding pseudo domain.

Although Feng Chen’s pseudo domain was far weaker than his own when he broke through to the Domain Lord Realm, it was still more than strong enough to kill the elders and disciples watching the breakthrough nearby.

Swish-!

For this reason, Xuan Hao jumped forward before using his own domain to protect the Star Shattering Sect. Forcing Feng Chen’s pseudo sword domain to expand over his domain that covered the Star Shattering Sect like a protective barrier.

WHOOSH!

The entire thing only lasted for a short moment, and by the time that the elders and disciple below realized that Feng Chen’s pseudo domain had expanded in all directions, it had already imploded and was rapidly reducing in size-

Boom!

Finally coming to a stop after having reduced to a circumference of close to 20 meters in size. Although small compared to Xuan Hao whose domain had reached a hundred meters, it was still considered large for other Domain Lord Realm Experts who had just broken through!

”Now comes the most difficult part…” Seeing that Feng Chen’s Sword Domain had been formed, Xuan Hao could not help feeling worried for Feng Chen.

After all, the most difficult part of reaching the Domain Lord Realm was merging the newly born domain together with the nascent soul and officially step into the Domain Lord Realm!

Given that Feng Chen’s domain was bigger than normal, it would also mean that the difficulty of merging his domain and nascent soul together would be increased!

Whoosh~

Watching from afar, Xuan Hao saw Feng Chen Nascent Soul floating out from his body before starting to merge together with his new domain. Not a single ounce of hesitation was present in his actions, as he did this!

…

Pain…

This was the only thought that appeared in Feng Chen’s mind when he started merging together with his newly born sword domain, as a terrifying pain spread throughout his entire nascent soul. Digging into the very depths of his soul.

Not only was it painful but merging his nascent soul and sword domain also brought along a special type of pain that made it feel like his soul was being sliced apart by his own sword domain!

Soon, a few minutes passed as his nascent soul and domain got closer and closer to fully merging together, but at the same time, Feng Chen also felt that his nascent soul was growing weaker and weaker.

No! I can’t let myself lose at this step!

Feeling his nascent soul slowly starting to break apart, Feng Chen showed a determined expression on his face as he sped of the merging process-

BOOOM-!

Not even a second later, Feng Chen’s sword domain merged together with his exhausted nascent soul.

Whoosh~

After his nascent soul returned to his dantian, Feng Chen suddenly felt an enormous rush of qi coming from above him.

The qi descending down from above was extremely beneficial and was of a way higher quality compared to what he absorbed before. Even the qi that was present on the Seventh Star Peak was incomparable to this qi!

Crack~

Soon Feng Chen felt himself being filled to the brim and before long his dantian underwent a drastic change and expanded by several times its former size. Announcing that he had directly reached the Domain Lord Realm!

But this was not the end as the qi continued to descend from above!

Early, Mid, Late-

BOOM!

Peak First Stage Domain Lord!

Feng Chen’s strength managed to improve all the way to the Peak of the First Stage of the Domain Lord Realm. After stabilizing his cultivation base, it would not be odd for him to break through to the Second Stage of the Domain Lord Realm in a year or two!

”This… This is the Domain Lord Realm? I… Can fly…?”

Muttering these words to himself as he was oblivious to the many people staring up at him in awe, Feng Chen was standing in the air without the help of any artifacts with a look of amazement on his face before starting to use his new ability to fly around the Star Shattering Sect with a childish smile on his face.

From a distance, Xuan Hao could not help rolling his eyes when he saw how Feng Chen was flying around above the sect.

If you have time to admire your new ability to fly, could you at least restrain your sword domain?!

Indeed, although Feng Chen had successfully broken through to the Domain Lord Realm, his control over his sword domain was not stellar… Forcing Xuan Hao to keep his own domain out to cover the Star Shattering Sect. Preventing Feng Chen’s sword domain from accidently destroying any buildings that happened to be near where he flew.

…

”Haaaa… This should be enough playing around…!”

Seeing that Feng Chen was not showing any signs of stopping his victory lap around the sect while displaying his new flight ability after close to five minutes, Xuan Hao decided to take matters into his own hands-

Swoosh-!

”Ha? AH!”

Before Feng Chen had any time to react, a massive hand suddenly manifested in front of him before forcefully grabbing him.

”Wha-what is this-”

Swish~

Not having any time to finish his sentence, Feng Chen felt himself being moved at a speed that far surpassed his understanding-

Bang!

”This- G-Grand Elder Xuan Hao…”

Recovering from the sudden movement before landing on the ground, Feng Chen could not help shivering when he saw the person in front of him was none other than Xuan Hao. For some reason he felt that the Xuan Hao standing in front of him at the moment looked far more terrifying compared to how he remembered, and he could not help feeling that he had done something wrong…

”Ah! M-my domain!” Suddenly realizing something, Feng Chen showed an embarrassed expression on his face.

Given the expression on Xuan Hao’s face, he understood that he had been the one who had made sure he didn’t accidently end up destroying everything he flew over with his sword domain…

”You understand why I interrupted your little victory lap?”

”Yes…”

”Haa… You should focus on stabilizing your cultivation base for now. After all, you just broke through to the Domain Lord Realm!” Shaking his head as he said this, Xuan Hao didn’t bother scolding Feng Chen for his childish behaviour more than this.

Even if it could have ended up causing quite a lot of damage to the sect for Feng Chen to fly around with his uncontrolled sword domain…

For now, the most important thing for Feng Chen was to stabilize his cultivation realm and get his domain under control!
