Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Rumble~!

Pulling his vast spiritual sea back towards the very core of his dantian just below his dao lotus, Xuan Hao began to forcibly form an outline of a large landmass spanning over a hundred kilometers inside his dantian. Large as this was, when compared to his vast spiritual sea, it still meant he would have to condense his spiritual qi over ten times to successfully form it and officially step into the Land Creation realm, something that was far from simple, as every time he condensed his spiritual sea, there was a chance that landmass could shatter and cause a chain reaction that would result in his dantian blowing up. Not something he wanted to happen and therefore, he had to proceed with utmost caution whenever he condensed the vast quantities of spiritual qi, though, the first few times he condensed it was obviously far easier compared to later.

Before he had started his breakthrough, he had already split his advancement to the Land Creation realm into 20 different stages. The first ten being dedicated to the simple job of condensing the spiritual qi that would form the landmass in his dantian into a size that was around two hundred kilometers across, while the later ten were dedicated for the final one hundred kilometers to form the final landmass that would then have to be integrated into his dantian with the assistance of his dao lotus.

At every single step, something could go wrong that would ultimately result in him turning into fireworks for the elders currently in secluded meditation inside the ascension secret realm.

Luckily, with spiritual sea stable and his foundation sufficient, he managed to relatively easily breeze through the first ten stages and condensed his spiritual qi down to form the outline of a massive landmass that stretched two hundred kilometers across.

On the unlucky side of things, he realized that he had slightly miscalculated just how difficult it was to continue compressing the spiritual qi after he reached this size. Not to mention another ten steps, he was forced to take everything extremely slowly.

From what was supposed to take no more than a few hours, he ended up spending several weeks sweating nervously as he finally condensed the spiritual qi of his spiritual sea into the size of landmass he needed to reach the Land Creation Realm. Only needing the final step that was integrating the landmass into his dantian and stabilizing it with the help of the dao lotus that was floating around above the still somewhat illusory landmass inside his dantian.

But simple as this step might seem on the surface, it was unsurprisingly the most dangerous point in time for the breakthrough to the Land Creation Realm, as a landmass that was too weak or unstable would shatter at this point.

However, for Xuan Hao, who had reached the Peak of the Sea Formation Realm, he wasn’t too worried about this step, as the landmass he had formed was solid without any fluctuations that indicated instability. This was the main benefit and reason why those at the Late Stage or Peak Stage of the Sea Formation Realm rarely ever struggled with this step of the process, as their landmass would be more than stable and powerful enough to easily breeze through this normally deadly stage for those who chose to break through to the Land Creation Realm before reaching the Late Stage of the Sea Formation Realm.

For this reason, as his dao lotus slowly descended into the landmass. Serving as the core of the landmass and allowing it to properly integrate into his dantian and merge with it, Xuan Hao felt completely at ease.

RUUUUMBLE~!

Not a second after this happened, Xuan Hao felt his dantian trembling violently, as he watched with awe as the still illusory landmass slowly transformed into a true landmass floating in the middle of his dantian. The now empty spiritual sea that surrounded it started to slowly fill up as he absorbed spiritual qi from heaven and earth to recover what had just been lost during the formation of this landmass.

BOOOOOOM-!

But not a second later, a terrifying aura shot out from him, as Xuan Hao felt his strength breaking through to a brand-new realm. Having successfully stepped into the Early Stage of the Land Creation realm.

”W-what is that!?”

”D-did someone breakthrough to the Dao Seed Realm?”

”No… It definitely isn’t just the Dao Seed Realm!”

Of course, given that he was breaking through in the ascension secret realm, the terrifying aura that exploded outwards uncontrollably after his breakthrough to the Land Creation Realm instantly startled everyone inside the ascension secret realm awake…

”I heard senior Xuan Hao entered the ascension secret realm to enter seclusion… Could it perhaps be him breaking through…?”

”Senior Xuan!? Indeed… Only he could be this terrifying…”

”Haaa… I wonder just what realm he had reached now…”

But after a few short panicked and surprised exclamations, they quickly narrowed down who the culprit behind this terrifying aura was, as they all realized that the one who had just broken through was none other than Xuan Hao, something that was rather easy to guess given that some of the elders had already known about him entering the ascension secret realm. Not exactly having bothered to hide himself when he entered the ascension secret realm.

As for the person in question… He was still fully focused on feeling the countless changes that were starting to take place throughout his body following his breakthrough to the Land Creation Realm. The most obvious of which being that the strength of his physical body was rapidly increasing thanks to him essentially having a giant landmass the size of a large island inside his body.

One of the main strengths of the Land Creation Realm was the sheer power one could utilize with even a simple movement, as each move would now carry the weight of the landmass inside the dantian. Providing an around enhancement to any kind of physical attack or weapon-based attack.
