Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

”I’m… Scaring off the demonic cultivators…?”

Having only spent a little over a week at the border between the Star Shattering Sect and the neighboring kingdom bordering the Frozen Wasteland where demonic cultivators came from, Xuan Hao could not help staring at the person standing in front of him with a somewhat surprised look on his face as he said this.

”Yes! Your presence and the death of two True Demon Realm demonic cultivators has caused the rest of the demonic cultivators to become scared of advancing into our territory. Lowering the number of demonic cultivators available for practice! If you don’t leave and things continue like this, we will soon have to look for more expensive methods of nurturing the younger generation!

Nurturing demon beasts for the disciples to fight, allowing them to venture out in the world to experience real life and death battles, ensuring the safety of all these disciples as they leave for experience... All of this is draining to the sect’s resources!

Using the demonic cultivators that are all in one location and allowing the disciples to experience real life and death combat, while also giving them a chance to wander around the borders of the sect for experience is far more cost efficient for the sect and drains far less resources.”

Standing in front of him was none other than Feng Chen, who had rushed over after learning about the situation through Elder Song. Wasting no time as he explained how important it was for the demonic cultivators to continue attacking the Star Shattering Sect.

Although, as he listened to Feng Chen’s explanation, Xuan Hao had a feeling that he had been heavily influenced by Elder Song.

However, what he said did make sense, as the sect did indeed benefit a lot from the constant and unending attack from the demonic cultivators swarming out from the Frozen Wastelands.

Whoosh~

Closing his eyes, Xuan Hao decided to first take a look of the current situation and determine if it was really as bad as what Feng Chen had described to him. Not fully believing that the demonic cultivators would lessen their attack only after he had been around for a little over a week. Killing only two True Demon Realm demonic cultivators.

After all, it had to be known that the winged lion demon beast had killed far more demonic cultivators in the True Demon Realm than that over the years that it had spent guarding the borders of the sect.

Of course, there was a longer time between the deaths of these True Demon Realm demonic cultivators and the fights should not have been as one sided as his, but still- The demonic cultivators shouldn’t have retreated so rapidly just because of this…

”No demonic cultivators over here either… Haaa… Where have they all gone? I haven’t seen a single demonic cultivator in over three hours!”

”Hmph! Still lucky, I haven’t encountered a demonic cultivator the entire day! I had nothing to do and could only wander around the local village I was in charge of guarding without doing anything…”

”No demonic cultivators. No contribution points. How am I supposed to buy the artifact I promised my senior sister on her birthday like this!?”

”Gift? I can’t even afford the spiritual herbs for my cultivation…”

”I’m also-”

”…”

Listening to the conversations between a few disciples who were guarding the border of the sect, Xuan Hao confirmed that there was indeed a lack of demonic cultivators. Although, their disappointment in not finding any demonic cultivators was rather surprising. Making him wonder what the sect would do when this stream of demonic cultivators would stop for real.

Whoosh~

Of course, he didn’t just intend to check out what the sect’s disciples were up to, but also intended to take a look at what the demonic cultivators were doing and if they were really scared away by him or had been stopped by something entirely different than him.

”Is it true? The Great True Demon Vasha died?”

”Yes… He was already close to the Demon Lord Realm, but died so fast and without sound, the other True Demons think a Celestial Immortal Realm Ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire might be residing in the area for some unknown reason and decided to lay low for now.”

”Really!? How do they know it isn’t just one of them passing through?”

”One of them has a special artifact that allows him to sense danger and the danger currently at the border is no less than that of Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator!”

”Wow… So that is why…”

”…”

Listening in on the conversations between the demonic cultivators before finally finding something that allowed him to get a better understanding of the situation and what had caused the demonic cultivators to stop their attack, Xuan Hao could not help silently frowning to himself before trying to find this demonic cultivator with the special artifact that allowed helping in sensing danger.

However, he was ultimately unable to find this demonic cultivator. Possibly because they had already sensed the danger and decided to hide away before he could find them.

Haaa… Looks like it is indeed me who is behind the lowered number of demonic cultivators trying to cross the borders…

In the end, Xuan Hao could only smile wryly to himself and agree with what Feng Chen had said about it being him who was behind the lower number of demonic cultivators trying to enter the sect.

What’s worse, from the looks of things, the situation wouldn’t change unless he left the border due to the mysterious artifact in the hands of one of the True Demon Realm demonic cultivators…

Oh well, I have already waited around for long enough and the little lion has already recovered and stabilized its cultivation base. So, it is about time for me to head back…

Shaking his head as he thought about this while looking towards the place where the dead body of the demonic cultivator had once been laying on the ground before mysteriously disappearing, Xuan Hao turned around and made his way back towards the sect together with Feng Chen… And much to his and Elder Song’s relief, the demonic cultivators attacks on the sect’s borders soon returned to normal following Xuan Hao left the border.
