Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Given the growth speed of his disciples, it wouldn’t be long before he once again saw the system appear again, as it should show up again when Bai Ning or Mui broke through to the Domain Lord Realm, as he would then have four disciples at the Domain Lord Realm.

Thinking about this, Xuan Hao could not help looking forward to what he might get when he had four disciples reach the Domain Lord Realm, as even though the system had begun to appear less and less with his increase in strength, it was still extremely useful when it came to helping increase his strength. Especially so when it came to deepening his understanding of different professions, as it was the main reason why he even began the process of learning different professions like alchemy in the first place.

For one, he still had the source crystal and the time stone around that he had gotten from the system the last time around… And although both of these things were a bit powerful for him to use at his current realm, it wouldn’t be long before he had a chance to use them. Mainly the source crystal, as he wanted to use it to increase the realm of his Dao of Space from the Large Success Realm to the Perfection Realm when he reached the bottleneck at the Peak of the Large Success Realm of the Dao of Space in the future.

Of course, before that, he would have to continue strengthening his soul enough so that he wouldn’t end up dying the moment he used the source crystal.

The only way he had to do that at the moment was to either increase his cultivation realm and give up on trying to reach the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm or to continue deepening his understanding of more Daos, as doing so did bring certain benefits and helped further strengthen his soul.

Among all the Daos he had comprehended so far, some had a better effect on the soul compared to others and the one with the best effect in terms of strengthening his soul was the Dao of Illusions followed by the Dao of Alchemy, Dao of Formations and Dao of Blacksmithing respectively.

Before taking the source crystal, he planned to try and see if he could break through to the Perfection Realm in the Dao of Illusions and have all three profession related Daos reach the Large Success Realm.

Although difficult, it would be something he had to do at some point, as he still needed to comprehend three different Daos to the Perfection Realm and six to the large Success Realm if he wanted to reach the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm.

Something he was still far off from accomplishing at the moment, as only his Dao of Illusions, Dao of Space and Dao of the Sword had reached the Large Success Realm so far… And when he promoted those three to the Perfection Realm in the future, he would need another six Daos to reach the Large Success Realm to take their place…

”Haaa… Truly difficult to accomplish, I wonder just how long it will take for me to reach the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm…” Shaking his head as he muttered this to himself while thinking about how far away he still was from reaching the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, Xuan Hao could not help glancing over his status.

Name: Xuan Hao

Bloodline: Three Immortals Bloodline (Half-Awakened) Physique: Stellar Dao Body (99% Awakened)

Realm: Late Stage Dao Domain Lord (Comparable to the Middle Stage of the Dao Seed Realm) Professions: Alchemist (Grandmaster), Formation Master (Grandmaster), Blacksmithing (Pseudo Saint) Sect: Star Shattering Sect Status: Grand Elder of the Star Shattering Sect Disciples: Qing Yi, Chu Yang, Bai Ning, Mui, Chun Hua Pet: Lazy Winged Lion (First Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm), Rabbit Demon Beast (Fifth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm) Cultivation Mantra: The Untold Swords Mantra Looking through his status that hadn’t changed that much outside of the slight increase in strength following his Dao of Space breaking through to the Large Success Realm, Xuan Hao was about to turn his attention towards the different Daos he had comprehended to figure which ones among them to focus on comprehending up to the Large Success Realm in the future outside of the three he had already chosen, when he suddenly noticed something new below his status-

[Techniques]

A new section called techniques that could be expanded… And so, feeling curious, Xuan Hao decided to try and expand this new section that had appeared in his status.

[Personal Techniques]: Descend of the Ice God’s Sword (High Earth Rank)

[Movement Techniques]: Illusory Light Steps (Mid Heaven Rank), Drifting Cloud Steps (Incomplete, Peak Heaven Rank)

[Sword Techniques]: Rain Sword (Peak Mortal Rank), Heaven Splitting Sword Art (Incomplete, Mid Heaven Rank), Void Sword Art (Incomplete, Low Heaven Rank), Untold Sword Mantra (Incomplete, Unknown)

Looking through the new section that had appeared, Xuan Hao realized that it noted down the different techniques he had learnt so far along with the ones he had created. Although, looking through the list of techniques only numbering a handful, it seemed like there was some kind of requirement, as far from all of the techniques he had learnt so far had made it into the technique section.

Even then, Xuan Hao was more than happy seeing the new section that had appeared, as it allowed him to gain some insight into the level of past techniques he had learnt. For one, his self-created technique had reached the level of High Earth Rank, a Dao Seed Realm technique, while the Drifting Cloud Steps that he didn’t have too much knowledge about turned out to be far more amazing than he had first expected.

However, even more amazing than the Drifting Cloud Steps was the untold sword mantra that still managed to elude him to this day. Even the system didn’t know what rank this technique was. Although he had a feeling that this was due to the fact that he just hadn’t learnt about the techniques above the Heaven Rank outside a brief mention that they were beyond the scope of the Profound Immortal Realm.

Outside of that, there was also the heaven splitting sword art that he had partly neglected as he focused his full attention on comprehending the Dao of Space and how to use it in combat, it turned out to be a terrifying technique at the Mid heaven Rank. Not to mention, it was still incomplete, meaning that it might be far more terrifying than just a simple Mid Heaven Rank sword art.

Then there was the first volume of the Void Sword Arts.

During the time he had spent comprehending the Dao of Space in attempt to breakthrough to the Large Success Realm in the Dao of Space, he had also started learning the Void Sword Arts. Although he did manage to have some success in it, it was not a lot given he mostly focused on the aspects related to the Dao of Space in the technique.

”But… I wonder why no other techniques are noted down? The long-distance teleportation technique that I recently managed to learn should definitely suffice in terms of quality when compared to a technique like the Rain Sword…” Muttering this to himself as he shook his head while looking over the few techniques that had been listed, Xuan Hao could only give up trying to figure out how the system worked as he shifted his attention towards comprehending the Dao of Illusions instead of the Dao of Space.

At this moment, the only thing on his mind outside of his disciples was the matter related to Xuan Gui.

Although he had no idea when she would need his help in getting into the Blue Sea Empire, he had already managed to learn the long-distance teleportation technique in a relatively short span of time since reaching the Large Success Realm in the Dao of Space and was now fully capable and confident in helping her enter the Blue Sea Empire and escaping without any trouble.

With his current mastery over the Dao of Space, even someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm would find it close to impossible to catch him. Especially considering that he had managed to learn the long-distance teleportation technique.

The only real weakness he had was his sect, that couldn’t escape like him, though, if the Blue Sea Empire did start causing problems, he at least had some confidence in being able to retaliate against them to some extent. Even if he couldn’t target locations guarded by their Celestial Immortal Realm Ancestors…
