Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

1457  Future Growth

Continuing to wander around the sect after informing Pei Yang and having him take care of the situation regarding the alchemy disciples and elders, Xuan Hao looked at how the rest of the sect was developing.

After all, the Alchemy Hall, Formation Hall and Blacksmithing Hall were not where the largest portion of the sect’s disciples and elders resided. Instead, the largest portion of the sect’s disciples and elders were focused entirely on cultivation and improving their cultivation realm. Not focusing on any side professions like alchemy or blacksmithing, as they found it a waste of time compared to focusing on increasing their cultivation realm, something that had become more so the case after the addition of the Dao Enlightenment Monument.

The main reason being that the dao enlightenment monument provided the different elders who were still stuck at the Nascent Soul Realm with a clear path towards reaching the Domain Lord Realm, something that most of the elders couldn’t resist, as they put their full efforts into earning contribution points so they could study the dao enlightenment monument.

Of course, outside of the elders who had become borderline obsessed with the dao enlightenment monument after realizing just how useful it would be for them when it came to reaching the Domain Lord Realm, the disciples also realized how useful it was as a few of the more talented among them started breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm and started thinking about reaching the Domain Lord Realm themselves.

Although… For the disciples of the sect, the thing that remained their primary focus was still hunting down demonic cultivators at the borders when they became strong enough, as this would give them an opportunity to earn contribution points that could then be used to buy cultivation resources or get personally taught by some of the sect’s Domain Lord Realm Elders. After all, most of the disciples didn’t have a master who had reached the Domain Lord Realm, with most disciples still remaining as normal outer sect disciples struggling around the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Thinking about this, Xuan Hao could not help looking over the sect quest that pertained to the overall growth of the sect’s strength.

[Main Sect Quest: First Steps towards Becoming a Major Power (I)] [Description: The sect has entered a state of rapid growth and is about to finally step onto the main stage of the Ewaria Continent. Help the sect reach the requirements to become a major power on the Ewaria Continent.] [Core Formation Realm Disciples: 1779/10.000] [Nascent Soul Realm Disciples: 13/100] [Domain Lord Realm Disciples: 5/10] [Soul Ascension Realm Elders: 0/100] [Dao Seed Realm Elders: 1/10] [Profound Immortal Realm Ancestor: 0/1] [Reward: World Stone (Immortal), Chaotic Qi Formation Upgrade, ???] [Note: Does not count host as part of the requirements]

Compared to the first time he had seen the quest, a few more disciples of the sect had managed to break through to the Core Formation, while two had been successful in reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

Even though the increase in strength of the sect disciples was impressive considering two more had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, Xuan Hao also understood that this speed was far too slow if he wanted to complete the sect quest within the next fifty or so years. Especially so considering that the sect still didn’t even have a single Soul Ascension Realm Elder, let alone Dao Seed Realm Elders!

The only Dao Seed Realm elder that the sect had at the moment, so to speak, was one he had managed to recruit from outside. Not one of the elders breaking through to the Dao Seed Realm.

With that in mind, it was easy to imagine how long it would take for the sect to nurture another nine Dao Seed Realm Elders. Not to mention the fact there was still the matter of also requiring a Profound Immortal Realm Ancestor, something that Xuan Hao understood full well was impossible for the current Star Shattering Sect to accomplish.

Only after he reached the Profound Immortal Realm himself would there be an opportunity to try and either nurture the current strongest elder in the sect outside of himself, Pei Yang, to the Profound Immortal Realm, or he could try and look for a wandering cultivator similar to Pei Yang and try to recruit him to join the sect.

The main problem with either of these two options being that both of them were incredibly difficult and would undoubtedly take a long time to accomplish. Not to mention, finding a wandering Profound Immortal Realm cultivator on the Ewaria Continent that didn’t even seem to acknowledge the existence of the Profound Immortal Realm was something that might be impossible.

Unfortunately, the system didn’t seem to acknowledge someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm and had directly asked for someone in the Profound Immortal Realm.

Even though, the fact that it did ask for someone in the Profound Immortal Realm instead of someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm for the Star Shattering Sect to be considered a major power on the Ewaria Continent did make believe that the different major powers on the Ewaria Continent had at least one Profound Immortal Realm cultivator behind them.

The different Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators shown on the outside should only be the surface level strength of these different major powers in the core region of the continent that had been able to survive for tens of thousands of years.

Although… Thinking about it in this way, it made him curious about the strength of the demonic cultivators, as they should have something to rely on outside of a few Demon King Realm demonic cultivators if they wanted to do anything to shake up the true foundation of these different major powers. Especially considering that he doubted that the Profound Immortal Realm cultivators behind the larger major powers were only in the Early Stage of the Realm.

Perhaps the demonic cultivators also had another branching cultivation path of stronger demonic cultivators similar to the Profound Immortal Path of cultivation?
