Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

[Hidden Main Quest: Have one disciple reach the Domain Lord Realm (complete)]

Reaching his cultivation room, Xuan Hao could not help looking at the system panel that had appeared the moment Chun Hua had broken through from the Nascent Soul Realm and officially stepped in the Domain Lord Realm a few seconds ahead of her senior brother… And without wasting any time, he fully expanded it to see what he would get this time around. Hoping inside that it would be the last percentage point needed to awaken his physique.

[Hidden Main Quest: Have one disciple reach the Domain Lord Realm (complete)]

[Description: Have one of your disciples break through the Domain Lord Realm below the age of 50.]

[Reward: Information on how to fully awaken the Stellar Dao Body.]

[Bonus Reward Requirements: Have a disciple successfully reach the Domain Lord Realm within one year of taking them in as a disciple, the disciple must be below the age of 30. (complete)]

[Bonus Reward: Source Crystal]

However, after seeing the rewards from the system after having one of his disciples break through to the Domain Lord Realm, Xuan Hao was just about to curse out loudly upon noticing that the reward was only information about his physique and how to awaken it and the official name of the physique itself, when he suddenly realized that he had somehow managed to also complete the bonus reward requirement for the hidden quest.

Although the reward itself was nowhere near the level of the bonus reward, he could have gotten from the hidden quest of having four disciples reach the Core Formation Realm, a source crystal was still something precious that would increase his comprehension after consumption.

Not to mention, this was only the reward for having one disciple reach the Domain Lord Realm, not four…

”A source crystal… I haven’t seen something like that since I took in Bai Ning.” Muttering this to himself as he remembered the battle he had with the guardian snake of the source crystal back then, Xuan Hao could not help wondering how big the source crystal given by the system would be.

Depending on how large it was, it might even be helpful in increasing his comprehension realm of one of his Daos to Large Success Realm. After all, back then, he had used the source crystal the size of a grain of rice to break through to the Domain Lord Realm.

Whoosh~

With this in mind, Xuan Hao didn’t hesitate in the slightest as he first redeemed the bonus reward, causing a small crystal no bigger than his fingertip to appear in front of him.

”This… So big!”

Seeing the source crystal that was many times larger than the source crystal he had consumed back then; Xuan Hao could not help feeling a sense of excitement building up inside of him as he remembered the wonderful feeling he had felt overwhelming every part of his body after swallowing the source crystal.

If he could experience a similar situation now that his cultivation had risen. Not to mention advancing to the Large Success Realm, he had a feeling that he might even be able to reach the Perfection Realm in one of his Daos.

No, not just one of his Daos, he might be able to directly reach the realm above the Perfection Realm!

All he needed to do was consume the source crystal… And he would be able to experience the magical feeling from back then! Yes, all he needed to do was swallow the source crystal and he would be able to surpass the Perfection Realm!

Maybe even directly breaking through to the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm and then the Profound Immortal Realm in a single step. Even his physique would awaken after such a massive improvement and-

Thump~

Huh? This…!?

Suddenly hearing the sound of the source crystal landing on the floor, Xuan Hao blinked both his eyes in surprise-

Whoosh-!

And before he had a chance to fall into the strange trance like state he had just managed to awaken from again, he used his domain to pick up the source crystal and seal it away before placing it inside an interspatial ring.

”What in the world… Are source crystal perhaps dangerous after growing to a certain size?!” Only after all of this did Xuan Hao calm down and look at the interspatial ring with the source crystal sealed inside of it with a hint of fear.

After it had appeared, he didn’t even have a chance to fight back as he was trapped in some kind of strange trance that made him want nothing more than to consume the source crystal. Only waking up due to the source crystal falling to the ground where it made a sound that allowed him to momentarily awaken and seal it away before the same strange power that had lulled him into a trance had a chance to affect him again.

No matter what it was, he had a feeling that it would be best to avoid consuming the source crystal for now. At least, he needed to try and get a better understanding of source crystals before recklessly consuming the one now sealed away in one of his interspatial rings, something he hadn’t done in the past due to not encountering any more source crystals after the first one back when he had just met Bai Ning and decided to take him in as his third disciple.

I will have to ask Elder Song if the sect has any information on source crystals…

Shaking his head as he already thought about going to Elder Song for help in finding out more about the source crystals, Xuan Hao turned his attention back towards the hidden quest. Focusing his attention on the main reward that he hadn’t yet redeemed-

Stellar Dao Body… I wonder what requirements there is to awaken it…

And without a second thought, he redeemed the reward. Fully prepared for an influx of information on how to awaken the Stellar Dao Body.

”…”

However, instead of the influx of information about the Stellar Dao Body he had expected to happen, nothing happened, and he just remained frozen on the spot watching the system panel for the hidden main quest disappear in front of him without anything happening.

Don’t tell me… Is it similar to the short awakening method stating requirements to awaken the physique that Qing Yi had for her physique…

Feeling like he already had his answer after no book or scroll about the Stellar Dao Body relating to the divine physique had appeared nor had he received any influx of information on it, Xuan Hao decided to slowly pull up his status for the first time in quite some time.

Name: Xuan Hao

Dao Domain: Dao of Ice (Small Success), Dao of the Sword ((Peak) Small Success), Dao of Corruption (Small Success), Dao of Fire (Small Success), Dao of Space (Small Success), Dao of Illusions (Large Success Realm), Dao of Blacksmithing (Small Success), Dao of Light (Small Success Realm), Dao of Formations (Small Success Realm) Dao Lotus: 11 layers

Sword Intent: Peak Nascent Sword Soul Realm

Talent: ???? Bloodline: Three Immortals Bloodline (Half-Awakened) Physique: Stellar Dao Body (99% Awakened)

Stellar Dao Body Awakening Requirements: Dao of Space Perfection Realm, Dao of Time Elementary Realm, Profound Immortal Realm (Land Creation)

Realm: Late Stage Dao Domain Lord (Comparable to the Early Stage of the Dao Seed Realm) Professions: Alchemist (Master), Formation Master (Grandmaster), Blacksmithing (Pseudo Saint) Sect: Star Shattering Sect Status: Grand Elder of the Star Shattering Sect Disciples: Qing Yi, Chu Yang, Bai Ning, Mui, Chun Hua

Pet: Lazy Winged Lion (Peak Ninth Stage Domain Lord Realm), Rabbit Demon Beast (Fourth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm)

Looking through his status and finding the awakening requirements, Xuan Hao could not help silently cursing to himself.

Not to mention reaching the Perfection Realm in the Dao of Space, he had no idea how to even begin comprehending the Dao of Time, let alone the requirement for his cultivation to be in the Profound Immortal Realm.

As for the land creation part in the Profound Immortal Realm, Xuan Hao guessed that it should be one of the minor realms of the Profound Immortal Realm… And for once, he really hoped that it was the first minor realm of the Profound Immortal Realm and not the last one symbolizing the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm.

If that was really the case, it would be quite some time before he could awaken his divine physique, but at the very least he could pat himself on the back and feel a bit happy at his increase in strength after he had finished integrating the Dao of Formations and the Dao of Light into his dao seed over his journey back to the sect together with Chun Hua.

At the same time, he also felt like he had found the reason why his physique had remained stuck at 99% for so long.

It was not that he couldn’t awaken his physique, it was just that he was far too weak to do so at the moment.

Then again, he could not help remembering the bonus reward from having four disciples reach the Core Formation Realm.

If he got that reward, would he have directly broken through to the Profound Immortal Realm or would the system find some way around the requirements for awakening the Stellar Dao Body…?

Unfortunately, no matter what he thought, there was no way he would find out as he had already failed that quest…
