Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1357  Condensing the 18th Layer around the Dao Seed

Using his divine sense to check out the situation of the rest of the sect elders in the Domain Lord Realm inside the sect, Xuan Hao noticed that most of them seemed to have made significant progress over the past few months, with quite a few of them managing to reach the Second Stage of the Domain Lord Realm during this period of time, one of these elders being Zu Fei, who had somehow managed to reach the Third Stage of the Domain Lord Realm. Surpassing most of the elders in the sect.

Of course, the main reason why these elders could progress so fast even after they broke through to the Domain Lord Realm, far surpassing that of those Domain Lord Realm cultivators who had once been under the Sky Empire, was because the elders of the Star Shattering Sect had not only the guidance from the cultivation records and Dao Enlightenment Monument from Xuan Hao, but also the lectures from Pei Yang.

All things considered, it would be stranger if they didn't improve at their current speed, as they had so much that helped them succeed.

The real challenge would be when they started reaching the Soul Ascension Realm, as even if Xuan Hao had found out about what the different tribulations of the Immortal Soul Tribulation entailed and given that information to the sect, it would only allow the elders of the sect to prepare more for the tribulation when it came.

At the end of the day, overcoming the Immortal Soul Tribulation was not something that would be easy to accomplish even with the help of the Star Shattering Sect behind them and Xuan Hao, along with Pei Yang, already understood that not all elders of the Star Shattering Sect would be capable of passing through the Immortal Soul Tribulation.

Even in a massive empire like the Blue Sea Empire, those of the royal family there still ended up dying in the Soul Ascension Realm while trying to pass through the Immortal Soul Tribulation… And it was without a doubt that this massive empire already understood the Immortal Soul Tribulation and would have done everything in their power to prepare their younger generation for the tribulation, but still ended up unable to ensure a safe passage through the Soul Ascension Realm.

Shaking his head as he thought about this, Xuan Hao understood that there was nothing he could do about it.

Cultivation wasn't that easy and there would always be challenges to overcome and the Immortal Soul Tribulation was one of them.

Although the sect would be able to prepare them for it, they would ultimately have to overcome it by themselves.

Well… There wasn't really much he could personally help the elders of the sect with when it came time for them to prepare for overcoming the Immortal Soul Tribulation, as he himself had still not overcome the Immortal Soul Tribulation and didn't really have any experience that he could share with them about the tribulation.

The only one in the sect who had successfully managed to pass through the Immortal Soul Tribulation at the moment was Pei Yang and he was already teaching the elders of the sect. So… There wasn't really much for him to worry about doing in this regard when all things were considered.

The most important thing for him to accomplish if he wanted to help the Star Shattering Sect was to continue increasing his strength and strive to reach the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm as fast as possible.

After all, even though the Star Shattering Sect had managed to avoid getting involved in the struggle between the major powers in the core region of the continent and the demonic cultivators so far, he understood that this wouldn't be the case for long.

No matter how much his new friend wanted to hold back the demonic cultivators from attacking the territory of the Star Shattering Sect, it would only be a matter of time before a more powerful demonic cultivator took notice and decided to attack.

In a sense, the only reason why the Star Shattering Sect had managed to avoid most of the conflict so far was because of the ancestors from the Blue Sea Empire clashing with the powerful demonic cultivators, causing the attack towards the Blue Sea Empire to be postponed, as the demonic cultivators focused their attention elsewhere. Only allowing a few weaker demonic cultivators to continue attacking the small kingdoms and empires bordering the Frozen Wasteland, whom Xuan Gui could still control with her strength at the Peak of the Demon Lord Realm.

Of course, it was also important that the current Star Shattering Sect wasn't that big in the grand scheme of things and not attacking could be explained away due to the wall Xuan Hao had created between the Star Shattering Sect's territory and the Frozen Wasteland.

Not to mention, the demonic cultivators were in a sense still attacking the Star Shattering Sect, it was just through another border that was between them and another bordering kingdom to the Frozen Wasteland.

If a similarly powerful or more powerful demonic cultivator had been present, things might have been different, but at least for now, Xuan Gui could be considered the one in control of the situation according to what she had been informing him about every now and then.

In case a more powerful demonic cultivator really did show up and wanted to take charge of the situation, both of them had already come to an agreement that she would inform him about it, as the two of them had already started cooperating together and she understood her only way into the Blue Sea Empire would be if he helped her.

After all, even though Xuan Gui was a demonic cultivator, it was not like she cared about what happened to the demonic cultivators. Especially considering that the attack on the surrounding empires and kingdoms around the Frozen Wasteland was something that had been forced on to her and most of the demonic cultivators below the Demon King Realm.

In her eyes, she would much rather spend her time quietly cultivating and slowly accumulate her strength until she broke through to the Demon King Realm before taking revenge on the Blue Sea Empire for what they had done to her…

Whoosh~ n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Arriving back inside his cultivation room as he waved his hand and closed the door behind him while his thoughts wandered, Xuan Hao slowly sat back down before closing his eyes to resume his cultivation.

However, he wasn't planning on continuing to comprehend the dao this time around. Instead, he was planning to condense two new layers around the dao seed inside his dantian now that his Dao of Ice had managed to break through to the Large Success Realm.

Considering that he had condensed the last two layers with the help of the Dao of Space after it reached the Large Success Realm, the total number of layers around the dao seed inside his dantian would reach 18 after he finished condensing another two.

18 layers around the dao seed symbolized reaching the Middle Stage of the Dao Seed Realm and the dao seed would transform into the half blooming state.

Although he had no idea if this would actually happen given that he wasn't in the Dao Seed Realm so to speak, he still planned to take care just in case, as it wasn't a completely painless experience to breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Dao Seed Realm.

Even if there was no danger of death like the Immortal Soul Tribulation, there was still a certain risk of failure that would in turn injure his soul to a certain extent, something that would then force him to stop his comprehension to recover the injurie his soul sustained.

Though the higher realms of the Dao Seed Realm seemed unknown to most of the people on the Ewaria Continent, the Half bloom Stage was still rather well known and so was the damage caused to the soul by failing to break through to this stage, something Xuan Hao had long since managed to learn about from not only records bought or gathered by the Star Shattering Sect, but also personally from Pei Yang, who was far more knowledgeable than himself on the Dao Seed Realm or Earth Immortal Realm as it was known throughout the continent.

So, with that in mind, Xuan Hao slowly condensed the 17th layer around the dao seed inside his dantian before slowly starting to condense the 18th layer. Making sure to keep an eye out for any sudden changes or abnormalities along the way… And just like that, Xuan Hao managed to successfully condense the 18th layer around his dao seed without anything happening, or that was at least what he thought as he finished condensing the 18th layer around his dao seed-

Whoosh~

"Wha-!?"

As not even a few seconds after he started to relax his guard, a change began to take place inside his dantian.
