Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Leaving behind the small world of the twenty seventh floor of the ascension realm tower, Xuan Hao didn’t bother to look back down towards the group of cultivators looking up towards him from below like he was ascending to the immortal realm. Instead, he focused on moving forwards towards the twenty eighth floor of the tower. Planning to first reach the twenty eighth floor before making his way down to the cloud plaza to look for a proper weapon, now that he had managed to get his hand on a large quantity of ascension coins and no longer needed to worry about saving up ascension coins to help the sect buy secret realms.

At the same time, outside of looking for a suitable weapon, he also planned on finding somewhere quiet to consume the heavenly treasure he had obtained from beneath the spiritual garden of the Heavens Faith Sect. Feeling quite curious about how far it would be able to push his strength forward towards the Late Stagge of the Land Creation Realm.

Hm… The path between floors is getting longer…

Continuing upwards along the spiral staircase that had by no turned into a straight stairway he could fly along, it was inevitable that he found himself observing the path that seemed to stretch on forever. Leaving even someone like himself capable of utilizing the Dao of Space to rapidly ascend somewhat amazed.

The source of his amazement was not just the increasingly massive distance he had to travel with each floor he cleared, but also the environment around the stairs leading upwards. Changing from what could be considered a space of pure darkness into a vast universe with countless stars all around.

If not for the fact that he was limited to staying within a hundred meters of the stairs, he would have long since moved into this now bright space and attempted to explore those stars in distance. Disappointing as this was, one positive was that these stars grew larger with each floor one passed through or, in other words, they moved closer.

Although they were still extremely far away, there would come a day when these stars got close enough that he would be able to see what was hidden within them and maybe even access them if they touched the hundred-meter boundary around the stairs.

Feeling his thoughts wandering as he continued upwards at full speed for a little over five days. Traversing a distance vast enough for him to circle the entire Ewaria Continent more than once. He found himself stepping onto the twenty eighth floor of the tower. Finding himself stepping out of a mountain cave over a thousand meters above the ground, a thick mist obscuring his view of where he had ended up, though it didn’t do much to stop his divine sense.

Still, given that this was the twenty eighth floor and the danger lurking within this floor exceeded that of the previous floor, he didn’t dare to recklessly spread his divine sense and restrained it to an area a few thousand meters around himself. Intending to first learn more about this floor before recklessly using his divine sense.

Of course, outside of getting a general idea of where he had ended up, he also decided to look at the task for this floor of the tower. Silently praying that he wouldn’t end up having to wipe out another major power like the Heavens Faith Sect, as a task like that was truly troublesome and a single mistake could end up costing him weeks of effort…

[Current Floor: 28]

[Task: Kill the lord of the devil forest]

[Progress: 0/1]

[Reward: 5.000.000 Ascension Coin, the passage to the twenty-ninth floor reveals itself]

Luckily, as he looked at this new task, he only had to kill one being and didn’t have to wipe out an entire major faction in control of the entire world, simple to the extreme.

The only real problem he could see with this task was the fact that there was no information about how strong this lord of the devil forest was. Making him feel somewhat uneasy, as there was a very real chance, he might end up running into another abnormal task that had him face off against an enemy far above the Land Creation Realm that the floor should have been designed for.

However, with him having already decided to take a break and properly absorb the gains from the twenty seventh floor of the tower before challenging the twenty eighth floor, he didn’t linger on the mountain for long before using the inbuilt teleportation formation to move to the cloud plaza. Having completed the simple goal of activating the teleportation formation so he would be able to travel to the twenty eighth floor in the future without having to complete that five day long journey up again, while at the same time also getting a look at the task he would have to complete before he could move on to the twenty ninth floor of the tower.

Whoosh~

Emerging from the teleportation formation connected to the cloud plaza and finding the place still deserted without anyone else from the sect around, Xuan Hao didn’t waste any time as he began looking through the different artifacts and weapons for sale throughout the cloud plaza. Having found that they had once again changed from his last visit to the cloud plaza. Making him guess that the things sold changed and refreshed once every two weeks or once every month.

To get an accurate read of the exact time the change took place, he would have to stay at the cloud plaza for some time, something he didn’t mind, as the cloud plaza also had a few locations for secluded cultivation that, while not the best, were more than enough for him to quietly absorb the heavenly treasure he had obtained on the twenty seventh floor of the tower, something he found himself doing, as none of the artifacts and weapons currently sold at the cloud plaza fit his requirements for a weapon.
