Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1336  Chu Yang, Edge of the Core Region

At the same time that Xuan Hao got started on learning the long distance teleportation technique, Chu Yang arrived at the edge of the core region after closer to half a year spent travelling through the chaotic territory of the former Sky Empire.

Although this journey hadn't really put him in any real danger due to the people at the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm or above either being focused on either holding down an important location filled with cultivation resources or had already left the chaotic territory to assist their own empires in dealing with the recent influx of demonic cultivators, Chu Yang still managed to fight a few Domain Lord Realm cultivators along the way. Allowing him to grow more familiar with his strength in the Domain Lord Realm, while also understanding his own limitations.

The limitations in question being the Sixth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm, as the two people in the Sixth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm that he had encountered so far had been far too strong for him to fight against. Having forced him to retreat after fighting them as long as possible to hone his own strength through fighting.

At least, that was his limitations back when he had run into those Sixth Stage Domain Lord Realm cultivators, but since then, he had broken through to the Second Stage of the Domain Lord Realm. Giving him more confidence in being able to face off against someone who could be considered at the Peak of the Middle Stage of the Domain Lord Realm.

Though… Fighting them equally for a longer period of time should be the limit. Killing someone at the Sixth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm was not something he believed he would have the strength to do before he managed to break through to the Third Stage of the Domain Lord Realm.

Luckily, the fights he had during his journey were extremely helpful to his cultivation and he felt himself getting closer to the Third Stage of the Domain Lord Realm as his insights into the Dao of the Spear deepened.

At the same time, as he began killing off a few of the weaker Domain Lord Realm cultivators that he encountered on his journey through the chaotic territory of the former Sky Empire, the Devil Immortal Jade that had remained dormant inside his dantian without showing any signs of movement as it assisted him in his cultivation, began to show signs of life, as it directly absorbed some of the blood of the Domain Lord Ream cultivators he killed.

At first, he thought that this was some kind of demonic technique and wanted to contact his master for help, but after observing the jade inside his dantian while it absorbed the blood, he discovered that it didn't actually absorb the blood, but instead gathered it together and compressed it into a small drop of blood that floated around the devil immortal jade. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But most importantly, observing this drop of blood, Chu Yang discovered that he could actually comprehend the Dao of blood from it.

Unfortunately, soon after this discovery, the drop of blood seemingly evaporated into thin air.

It was at that moment Chu Yang realized another use for the devil immortal jade that wasn't increasing his cultivation speed, it helped him comprehend the Dao of Blood.

As for the Dao of Blood being more of a demonic dao, Chu Yang didn't really care about this, as it didn't take him long to realize that the Dao of Blood was well suited for his Dao of the Spear. Allowing him to enhance the strength of his spear in battle even though he had just barely started the process of comprehending the Dao of Blood.

Of course, the realization that killing Domain Lord Realm cultivator would allow him to more easily comprehend the Dao of Blood gave Chu Yang a far more intimate understanding of why demonic cultivators did what they did. Especially given that he learnt how to control the blood absorption ability after a few days of it activating.

Though it only increased his comprehension into the Dao of blood, Chu Yang couldn't lie to himself that he did indeed feel tempted to go out and hunt down a few Domain Lord Realm cultivators to rapidly increase his comprehension of the Dao of Blood with the help of the devil immortal jade.

But after sitting down to calm himself for a few days, he managed to free himself from the dangerous thoughts that could very well end up with him becoming a demonic cultivator, something that was far more dangerous now compared to the past…

Although the blood absorption method of the devil immortal jade wasn't a demonic one from what he had managed to observe, it could very well turn into one if he started abusing it against any random Domain Lord Realm cultivator he ran into.

So, with that in mind, Chu Yang decided to just go on like he had been planning on originally planned before learning about the blood absorption ability of the devil immortal jade. Only using the blood absorption on the Domain Lord Realm cultivators, he ran into normally and ended up killing in the process. Stopping himself from seeking out Domain Lord Realm cultivators for the purpose of absorbing their blood…

"I never expected it to take so long to reach the core region even after reaching the Domain Lord Realm. Almost taking me half a year… And that is not mentioning the fact that my speed is far above that of a normal Domain Lord Realm cultivator." Muttering this to himself as he thought about what he had gone through during the past half year and the blood absorption ability of the devil immortal jade, Chu Yang looked towards the direction of a massive city in the distance.

From what he had managed to learn from talking to other Domain Lord Realm cultivators and a few knowledgeable Nascent Soul Realm cultivators along his journey through the chaotic region of the former Sky Empire, the massive city could be considered a small city that was part of a neutral power that existed in the neutral region between the Blue Sea Empire and the Wei Empire.

Knowing a bit about this neutral region from his master and some of the cultivators he had encountered along the way, Chu Yang guessed that the power behind the massive city in the distance should at least be someone in the Soul Ascension Realm.

But this wasn't the most important thing about the city. Instead, it was the fact that it contained a safe path into the core region!

After all, even though he could be considered to have reached the core region of the continent at the moment, he was in fact still at the edge of the core region and couldn't really be considered to have entered the core region yet.

To do that, he would first have to pass through a dangerous mountain range that separated the border of the former Sky Empire from the neutral territory between the Blue Sea Empire and the Wei Empire… And the only way to safely do that with his current strength was to find a way to safely pass through the mountain range without disturbing any of the Soul Ascension Realm demon beasts rumored to be inhabiting the mountain range, a way that could be obtained inside the city in distance.

As for trying to move through the Blue Sea Empire to reach the neutral territory? He didn't have a death wish!

Although the Blue Sea Empire wouldn't bother stopping someone in the Domain Lord Realm like himself from entering their empire, his safety was none of their concern and most of the Blue Sea Empire's border region was filled with all sorts of dangers far surpassing those that could be found in the mountain range he was planning to pass through.

In a sense, this could also be considered a deliberate barrier created by the Blue Sea Empire to prevent any weak cultivators from entering the territory without putting in too much effort. Allowing nature to take its course, as they focused on any stronger cultivators trying to enter their territory.

"For now, I should first enter the city and learn about the situation before starting to ask around about the path through the mountain range…" Muttering this to himself as he threw the thoughts of the Blue Sea Empire to the back of his mind, Chu Yang didn't waste any more time staring off in the direction of the massive city in the distance, as he jumped into the air and flew in the direction of the massive city.

Given what he had learnt about the neutral territory between two of the major powers of the core region and the different opportunities that could be found there, he wanted to go through the mountain range as fast as possible. Feeling eager to find out how fast his strength would grow after he truly stepped foot in the core region of the continent.
