Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

”The most suitable Daos for improving the Dao of the Spear...”

Narrowing both of his eyes as he looked down towards his spear, Chu Yang silently began going over the different Daos he already had some understanding of and had used in tandem with his Dao of the Spear.

First of all was the Dao of Earth that could already be considered to have reached a level comparable to the Pseudo Domain level due to his frequent usage and comprehension of his current main combat techniques mountain breaker and mountain piercer.

Already familiar with the Dao of Earth to some extent and knowing firsthand how well suited it was for the Dao of the Spear; it wasn’t really much of a question that he ended up choosing the Dao of Earth as one of the two supporting Daos for his Dao of the Spear.

The problem mainly came when it was about choosing the second Dao, as he didn’t really have any other Dao that he had reached a level of comprehension comparable to his comprehension in the Dao of Earth. Not to mention, most of the other spear techniques he had developed on his own over the years relied on the Dao of Earth as well.

”Maybe the Dao of Blood would work?” Muttering this to himself as he thought about the different Daos, he had encountered over the years without really gaining any meaningful comprehension in, it did not take long before his attention turned towards the Dao of Blood.

Considering the devil immortal jade still present inside of his dantian increasing his cultivation speed and the fact that it could help increase his comprehension of the Dao of Blood, Chu Yang felt that it might not be a bad idea to use the Dao of Blood as the second Dao to enhance his Dao of the Spear and forge his Dao Domain.

Even if the method that the devil immortal jade used to increase his comprehension of the Dao of Blood involved him needing to have it absorb the blood of cultivators he killed until it could condense a small drop of blood that he could then use to increase his comprehension of the Dao of Blood, it wasn’t a demonic technique- Maybe? He didn’t really know…

Thinking about it, it did seem like a demonic technique looking from the outside but considering that the entire process didn’t require him to absorb the blood for cultivation or anything along that line and he just needed to observe the blood drop condensed to further his own comprehension of the Dao of Blood, he didn’t feel much against using the devil immortal jade.

Especially so considering that anyone he had used it on so far were his enemies. Not to mention, there were far more dubious techniques out there.

From what he had learnt during his time outside of the sect so far, it seemed that nobody really cared about techniques that used things like blood or other things normally associated with demonic cultivators, as long as one wasn’t a demonic cultivator themselves.

Although it seemed rather hypocritical to not care about something that was obviously a demonic technique being used by normal cultivators but get filled with killing intent the moment a demonic cultivator used a similar technique, Chu Yang decided not to think too much about it.

The only techniques so to speak that were completely off limits that he knew of so far, were techniques that involved using the blood and qi of other cultivators for one’s own cultivation. Apparently, this was the main way a normal cultivator ended up becoming a demonic cultivator.

”So… The Dao of Earth and the Dao of Blood it is…” Saying this to himself as he decided to go with the Dao of Blood as his second Dao for supporting his Spear Dao, Chu Yang didn’t really have much to prepare in terms of increasing his comprehension of the two Daos, as both of them had already reached the level required for forging a dao domain.

With that in mind, Chu Yang didn’t waste much time standing around after coming to a decision, as he sat down on the cultivation mat in the middle of the room before starting preparations for forging his dao domain.

By far, forging the dao domain was the most difficult in the initial stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, as he couldn’t just try to establish a new domain with his Dao of Blood or Dao of Earth and merge them into his Spear Dao.

Instead, he would have to follow a special technique to forge another kind of dao domain that was centered around a single dao and acted to enhance that single dao. Not much different from how one advanced through the Dao Seed Realm by focusing on enhancing the strength of a single Dao.

Whoosh~

With a wave of his hand, the spirit stones and the source crystal he had placed into his interspatial ring earlier reappeared, as he slowly began the process of forging his dao domain by using the unique dao domain forging technique that was available in the scroll.

Different from the myriad path that could be reached in a relatively short time, the singular path took far longer, as the spirit stones slowly began to melt under the guidance of the ancient technique over the next week. Turning into a kind of liquid spiritual qi that then started merging together with the source crystal, a process that ended up taking another week before a slightly larger and shiner source crystal appeared in front of Chu Yang.

Although he had no clue what had changed about the source crystal outside of it growing a bit larger and shinier, Chu Yang knew from the information in the scroll that the current source crystal had transformed into a dao domain seed and all he needs to do at this point in time was swallow it-

Chomp-!

Something Chu Yang did without the slightest bit of hesitation.

Rumble-!

Soon enough feeling the terrifying power contained inside of the small dao domain seed, as he officially began the most important step. Forging his dao domain, a process that was far more grueling and painful compared to the first step, as he used all of his strength to remain focused for the next two weeks, as his dao domain slowly took shape-

BOOOM-!

Until he finally managed to successfully forge his dao domain. Breaking through to the Initial Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm in the process. His strength surging from the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm to a level that was now comparable to the Soul Ascension Realm.

Thump!

Unfortunately, he didn’t really have the opportunity to explore his new strength, as he directly collapsed on the floor after breaking through, covered in blood from head to toe due to the terrifying energies that had been running through his body for the past two weeks as he focused his full attention on forging his dao domain according to the ancient technique.

Even though he had ended up being successful, it was just barely, as even a few seconds longer and he would have ended up dead under those terrifying energies coursing through his body.

At least I can leave this place after I wake up…

Thinking this to himself as he slowly felt his vision grow dark, Chu Yang could not help feeling a sense of relief knowing that he had succeeded and would be able to leave the underground space and start searching for a way out of the mystic realm when he woke up again.

…

”Indeed, the singular path of the Dao Domain Lord Realm…”

Back in the Star Shattering Sect, at the same time that Chu Yang broke through to the Initial Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm following the singular path instead of the myriad path that his master was following, the master in question quietly looked over the recently changed status.

✧ Second Disciple, Chu Yang ✧ Race: Human Talent: 57 Comprehension: 78 Dao: Dao of the Spear (Elementary Realm)

Potential Dao: Dao of Earth, Dao of Blood, Dao of Slaughter, Dao of Death Physique: No Special Physique Recommended Physique: Six Paths of Slaughter Divine Physique (Can be refined) Realm: Initial Dao Domain Lord Realm (Singular Path) Cultivation Mantra: Soul Spear Divine Mantra All things considered, not much had really changed outside of his realm that now indicated that he had reached the Dao Domain Lord Realm and was following the singular path.

This was not a problem, so to say, the only reason why Xuan Hao had reacted in the way he did was because his information on the singular path of the Dao Domain Lord Realm was far more lacking compared to the myriad path that he himself had ended up following.

For one, he didn’t have much an idea of how one even entered the singular path.

In this regard, his second disciple could be said to have surpassed him, as he only really had some understanding of the requirements for one to reach the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm in the singular path…
