Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Bang!

”Master! What happened?! Who is-” Violently breaking through the door to the room, the muscular Domain Lord Realm Expert that Yi Min had been talking with just a short time earlier froze on the spot as he spotted Yi Min lying unconscious on her bed with Xuan Hao sitting not too far away.

Although he couldn’t sense Xuan Hao’s strength, he was certain that he was far stronger than him and had likely also reached the Soul Ascension Realm like his master.

Wait… The formation already broke and none of the three Soul Ascension Realm Experts trying to break through the formation just a short time earlier has shown up…

Thinking about how the Soul Ascension Realm Experts working on breaking the formation had still not appeared even after the formation had collapsed, the muscular Domain Lord Realm Expert froze on the spot as he looked towards Xuan Hao filled with fear.

Even though he had not seen it personally, it was obvious that the person sitting next to his master had something to do with the sudden disappearance of the three Soul Ascension Realm Experts!

At least it did not look like he was an enemy. On the contrary, he had taken care of his master.

Is it perhaps a friend of my master…?

”Is there something you want to ask?”

Feeling the burning gaze of the Domain Lord Realm Expert who had just burst through the door, Xuan Hao did his best to start a conversation and end the awkward silence that had been created. Not wanting to spend the next few days until Yi Min woke up with a large muscular guy staring directly at him with a burning gaze that could easily be misunderstood by anyone passing by.

”Huh? Ah! Yes! First of all, might I ask who senior is? Other than that, I’m also quite curious as to what happened to the three Soul Ascension Realm Experts outside of the formation? From what I know, those three should not just have left for no reason and they seemed quite intend on killing my master…” Hearing what Xuan Hao said, the muscular Domain Lord froze for a short moment before almost jumping forward while asking this.

During the entire process, he showed no fear whatsoever. Showing that he had already seen Xuan Hao as someone on his side.

Not that it was that hard to comprehend given the fact that he would most likely have killed him and his master if he was not on their side. After all, his master’s current condition didn’t really allow her to fight back.

”I’m a Grand Elder from the Star Shattering Sect, Xuan Hao, you might have heard about me before given one of my disciples participated in the alchemy competition here in the past. As for what happened to the three Soul Ascension Realm Experts outside, I have taken care of them, and they won’t pose any problem in the future.” Not bothering to hide anything as there was no need for it, Xuan Hao decided to just tell him that he had dealt with the three Soul Ascension Realm Experts after introducing himself.

”Dealt with the three- Ah!” Realizing what Xuan Hao said, the muscular Domain Lord Realm Expert froze on the spot for a short moment as he looked towards him with an expression of disbelief plastered all over his face.

Although he had expected Xuan Hao to be someone strong in the Soul Ascension Realm and he might have been able to chase away the three Soul Ascension Realm Experts outside, he never in his wildest dreams imagined that he had killed the three.

No matter what realm, there was a huge difference between killing someone and making them run away. The first being far harder to accomplish and considering how fast he had killed the three Soul Ascension Realm Experts; it was obvious that he was far stronger than them.

As a result of this, the muscular Domain Lords evaluation of Xuan Hao’s strength increased from someone who was around the earlier stages of the realm to someone who might be comparable to the old ancestor of the imperial family!

”Huh? Wait a second… Grand Elder of the Star Shattering Sect?” Suddenly realizing something important from what Xuan Hao said, the muscular Domain Lord Realm Expert froze once again as he stared towards Xuan Hao filled with even more disbelief than before. ”You are the elder from the Star Shattering Sect who came to the Iron Sky Kingdom during the alchemy competition!? But weren’t you in the Domain Lord Realm back then!?”

Although he had not been present during the alchemy competition, he had heard about an elder from the Star Shattering Sect who had shown up during the competition together with one of his disciples.

However, this person had obviously been in the Domain Lord Realm. Nowhere near the Soul Ascension Realm, let alone the later stages of the Soul Ascension Realm that the person in front of him should have reached.

Unless… He hid his cultivation back then!

Feeling like this was the only thing that made sense, the muscular Domain Lord didn’t continue asking any more questions and instead decided to take his leave after confirming that his master was fine. Leaving her in the care of Xuan Hao during her recovery, as he felt that someone in the Soul Ascension Realm would be far more knowledgeable on what could help his master recover compared to someone like himself who was still in the Domain Lord Realm.

Instead, the muscular Domain Lord turned his attention towards stabilizing the rather chaotic situation that had begun spreading in the Iron Sky Kingdom after the formation was destroyed, while also beginning the preparations for repairing the formation in the future.

Even if all of these things were relatively simple to accomplish with his strength and the large quantity of resources that was still available in the Iron Sky Kingdom, it was not something that could be done in the short term and would likely take months to accomplish. Maybe even years depending on the damage that had been done to the foundation of the formation.

”Looks like I will be staying here for a few days until she wakes up again…” Watching how the muscular Domain Lord left without any worry for his master, Xuan Hao could not help shaking his head in disbelief. Even if he had dealt with the three Soul Ascension Realm Experts, he should at least show some degree of suspicion towards someone who was essentially a complete stranger to him.

And yet… Now he was left to watch over Yi Min by himself…

Might as well take this chance to continue comprehending the Dao of Space. After all, there is not much I can do to help improve her condition other than provide a safe environment for her to recover by herself.

Closing his eyes as he thought this to himself, Xuan Hao began comprehending the Dao of Space. Although he had made progress towards the Small Success Realm over the past few weeks, he was still a few months away from reaching it. Not to mention, after reaching the Small Success Realm, he still had to comprehend a brand-new Dao and elevate one of his other Daos to the Large Success Realm.

…

Hmmmh~ Where am I?

Opening her eyes after what felt like a long and relaxing nap, Yi Min drowsily looked around herself while still laying down on the bed with a somewhat confused expression on her face. Not yet comprehending where she was due to her current state still being rather complicated because of the chaotic qi still present inside of her dantian.

Although she had managed to suppress it to some extent at this point and stabilized her condition enough to wake up, she was still quite a bit away from being able to be considered fully recovered.

Huh? This is my bed. Did someone carry me here after I passed out- Ah! That’s right! Xuan Hao!

Suddenly remembering what happened before she had passed out, Yi Min quickly sat up on her bed as she scanned her room. Soon spotting Xuan Hao who was sitting only a few meters away from her bed-

”Wh-what is that…?”

However, when she saw Xuan Hao sitting beside her bed, she was instantly drawn to what could only be described as small holes in space around him, some remaining stable without any change, while others popped in and out of existence. Seemingly being forcibly repaired by the laws of the world before being torn open again by some powerful force and then repeating the process endlessly in a loop.

Even if she had seen her fair share of strange things over the years, this was by far one of the weirdest and more terrifying things she had seen so far. After all, tearing open the fabric of space itself was not something easy to accomplish. Even for someone in the Soul Ascension Realm… And that was not mentioning that it looked like the small holes in space was nothing more than a side effect of Xuan Hao’s cultivation to her…
