Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

At the same time that Elder Song began to tilt the sect resources in the favor of the formation hall in an attempt to help the formation hall grow so they could help him archive his goals as fast as possible, Xuan Hao opened his eyes after having spent a few days fully focused on comprehending the Dao of Space. Attempting to reach the Perfection Realm that seemed to be more difficult than reaching the heavens.

Among the things he got used to doing when taking a small break before going back to comprehending the Dao of Space was checking the progress of the different quest he had or more specifically the sect quest that he knew would be progressing on their own over time even without him doing anything.

[Sect Quest: Establish a Proper Formation Hall] [Formation Hall Disciples (Below Master Realm): 285/500] [Formation Hall Elders (Master Realm): 3/10] [Formation Hall Elders (Grandmaster Realm): 1/1 (Complete)] [Reward: Dao of Formations Comprehension, Formation Diagrams, Formation Training Stones, Formation Construction Materials] ”Hm? Why did this quest suddenly end up progressing so fast…?”

And among the three remaining sect quests that he had yet to complete, the progress experienced by the formation hall stood out immediately. Having experienced a level of growth far beyond what he had expected it to have even in a year, as the disciples had almost doubled and the formation masters in the Master Relam gone from a measly one to three.

Knowing that something major should have happened for such a growth to take place, he didn’t waste any time before using his divine sense to gather information. Soon discovering what had happened, while at the same time figuring out what Elder Song was up to.

Although he wanted to help Elder Song, he also understood why he hadn’t come to find him to help out with the situation, as the sect couldn’t rely only on him. Especially so with how the sect was growing at the moment.

Even if there were no plans to expand the territory outside of a few locations in the chaotic regions at the core of the fallen Sky Empire at the moment, the current size of the Star Shattering Sect and the number of branches that had been established over the past few years made it impossible for him to be the one responsible for constructing formations and other important infrastructure for the sect everywhere.

Doing it at the main sect and maintaining the formations there along with a few other important locations was fine, but anything beyond that would start cutting into his cultivation time and the time used on his disciples.

Because of this, he felt rather happy learning about what Elder Song was up to, as it might even result in him not having to worry about maintaining the different formations, he had constructed inside the Shattered Star Peaks on his own.

After all, outside of the teleportation formations, chaotic qi formation and the formations at the combat hall, he had worked on a few formations here and there throughout the Shattered Star Peaks that was used not just by his own disciples, but also other disciples.

Maintaing and repairing these formations would be far simpler than maintaining or repairing the teleportation formations or other more important formations he had set up.

Actually… Looking at the current formation hall, Fang Yu, who had already reached the Junior Grandmaster Realm in formations could be said to have the capability to repair most of those formations, while the three in the Master Realm should be able to take care of some of the simplest formations he had set up.

With that in mind, he could already start taking advantage of the formation hall to take care of some of the things that he would usually have to do on his own.

”Truly a forward thinker…” Muttering this to himself, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a renewed sense of admiration for Elder Song as he once again realized just how capable this old man was when it came to aiding the development of the Star Shattering Sect.

In a sense, he felt it was a bit of a pity that the old man’s talent for cultivation was so low. Otherwise, he would almost certainly have overtaken Feng Chen at this point in time and cemented himself as the sect master.

Looking at his strength at the current moment, even though he had reached the Nascent Soul Realm and had set aside time to cultivate every now and then, he was only on the Fifth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Falling behind some of the other elders who were fully focused on cultivating and didn’t have to spend any time managing the internal situation of the sect.

Even then, the main reason why he could even reach the Fifth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm despite having little more than a day or two a week dedicated to cultivation was due to the fact that he often interacted with figures like himself and Pei Yang, who both guided him and personally taught him every now and again.

That, along with the vast quantity of resources he had at his disposal due to his position as the main person in charge of the sect’s resources distribution.

The Nascent Soul Realm is a bit weak. Especially as the average level of the rest of the elders increase and potentially even reach the Domain Lord Realm in the future. Maybe I need to dedicate some time to trying to find a way to help Elder Song reach the Domain Lord Realm in the future…?

Turning to look off in the direction of Elder Song now hard at work improving the formation hall, which in turn helped him complete one of his sect quests faster, Xuan Hao could not help thinking that he should try and find a way to help Elder Song increase his cultivation realm. Not just so he could keep up with the rest of the elders, but also to reward him for all the hard work he was putting in to help the sect grow over the years.
