Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Whoosh~!

Appearing at the edge of the mountain range leading into the neutral territory between the Blue Sea Empire and the Wei Empire, Xuan Hao decided to first take a look around and see if he could figure out what had happened to Chu Yang, as he could still sense that this was the location he had disappeared around.

Even if he wasn’t able to sense the exact location he had disappeared to, it didn’t really matter much as his divine sense soon swept through the mountain range without any obstructions.

”Hm? An entrance to a secret realm- No, there several entrances and they all have the exact same design… Do they perhaps lead to the same secret realm? If that is the case, the secret realm should be a rather large one. Not something that someone in the Soul Ascension Realm or even Dao Seed Realm should be able to create. Looks like Chu Yang should have found his way inside of that secret realm thanks to that so-called mysterious opportunity…”

Not taking more than a few seconds before discovering close to a dozen similar looking gates all leading into a secret realm, Xuan Hao didn’t take long to conclude that his disciple should have ended up inside of that secret realm because of the mysterious opportunity from the system.

Judging from everything, he guessed that his disciple wasn’t really in any danger and should be able to find his way out after he consumed the mysterious opportunity that had clearly been the thing behind his recent breakthrough to the Dao Domain Lord Realm. Completely unaware that his disciple was very much trapped with no way out of the mystic realm that he found himself inside of at the moment…

Whoosh~

And so, without a second thought, Xuan Hao decided to leave in search of a larger branch of the Explorer Union where he should be able to get his hands on more information of the core region.

…

Thump~

Landing on the ground in front of a large city close to the center of the neutral territory that was controlled by one of the larger neutral factions that had someone in the Dao Seed Realm behind them, Xuan Hao casually walked past the guard demanding payment for entry to the city without giving him a second glance.

Considering he had no need to, he had of course not revealed himself as he smoothly entered the city without any troublesome situation, suddenly popping up out of the blue and soon enough, he found himself in front of the Explorer Union branch in the city.

”This… Is larger than I expected…”

Just standing in front of this branch of the Explorer Union, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a sense of profound shock, as this branch seemed to take up almost a third of the entire city.

Compared to the size of the Explorer Union branches that he had grown used to that were composed of a single building, this was on a completely different scale, as it made him wonder whether or not that so-called neutral power was really the one in charge of the city and not the Explorer Union.

However, after asking a few of the people who came out of the entrance to the branch with the help of a few spirit stones, he managed to learn that this could be considered a real branch of the Explorer Union where they not only did ordinary business, but also had training areas and other facilities for processing materials gathered and an extensive storage facility where most of the materials and resources gathered from nearby branches were sent.

Not just that, but he also learnt that there was at least one person in the Earth Immortal Realm (Dao Seed Realm) stationed at every branch of that scale, as they were simply far too important to just have someone at the Soul Ascension Realm watch over the place.

In fact, the branch currently in front of him turned out to be the largest one in the entire neutral territory and was also where all the resources gathered through different branches across the neutral territory gathered.

As a result, he learnt that there was not only one Dao Seed Realm cultivator at this branch, but instead two.

Unknowingly he had entered up at the perfect branch for the information he wanted to gather, as a branch of this size would undoubtedly have knowledge of the situation outside of the neutral territory and nearby major powers.

Filled with excitement upon learning about this, Xuan Hao directly made his way inside the branch before going up to an available counter to request information on the continent with a happy expression.

”Information on the continent? You mean the Northen Region of the Continent?”

”No, I want information on the entire continent, a map if possible.”

”This… Wait a moment.”

Hearing his request, the clerk who had received him froze for a second before dashing off. Clearly this kind of information was not something she had, something that wasn’t surprising considering that she was only in the Core Formation Realm and likely didn’t encounter someone like him before.

As he continued waiting, Xuan Hao went over the information he already knew about the continent so far.

First of all was the fact that the continent could be split up into four major regions, the simple north, south, west and east.

Currently, he was in the Northen Region of the Continent or more specifically what was considered the Northen Central Region of the Continent.

Inside the Northen Central Region, there were 12 major powers, with the Blue Sea Empire and the Wei Empire being the strongest. Battling each other for dominance over the Northen Central Region every few years, something that had only cooled down recently over the past few thousand years. Allowing the neutral territory to develop to the extent that it had given birth to Dao Seed Realm cultivators.

Thinking about it… Outside of the Northen Central Region, he didn’t really have much information on the other region outside of knowing that the Heavenly Dragon Temple was located in the Western Central Region.
