Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Following Xuan Hao and Pei Yang’s decision to try and stay out of whatever the powerful demonic cultivators from the Frozen Wastelands were up to, it did not take long before the first few demonic cultivators arrived at the borders of the Star Shattering Sect’s territory.

However, compared to the demonic cultivator at the Peak of the True Demon Realm who had managed to sneak past the Domain Lord Realm cultivators who had been put in charge of keeping an eye on the borders of the sect, the demonic cultivators who appeared this time around were nowhere near this level. Most of them being Lesser Demons comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm and Higher Demons comparable to the Core Formation Realm, with a few demonic cultivators at the First Demonic Transformation, comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm, hidden among them.

Although this would be a force that any kingdom around the Star Shattering Sect would find difficult to deal with, for the current Star Shattering Sect these demonic cultivators were not worth mentioning, as it didn’t take long before a group of disciples and elders were dispatched to deal with them.

Soon enough resulting in the first clash between the demonic cultivators and the disciples of the Star Shattering Sect, something that only became more common as the number of demonic cultivators reaching the borders of the Star Shattering Sect increased. In turn it also caused more disciples to get a chance at going to the border to fight demonic cultivators.

As for the demonic cultivators who were at the First Demonic Transformation Realm, most of them were dealt with by the elders of the sect, while a few of them managed to sense the danger ahead of time and escaped back in the direction they came from to find a weaker kingdom to invade.

Not many of them dared to try and find a strong demonic cultivator to help out. After all, doing so would also put their own life in danger, as the stronger demonic cultivator could just kill them and absorb their cultivation.

Only those who were part of a demonic sect that wouldn’t result in them being directly killed by the stronger demonic cultivator did go back and inform their seniors of the situation… And as a result of this, a few demonic cultivators at the Third Demonic Transformation Realm, comparable to the Domain Lord Realm, ended up appearing a month after the first demonic cultivator had appeared.

Luckily for the elders of the Star Shattering Sect who were in charge of guarding the border, these demonic cultivators weren’t too strong and were only within the earlier stages of the Domain Lord Realm in terms of strength.

Not to mention, upon learning of these demonic cultivators, Chu Yang wasted no time in rushing over to fight them before any of the other elders had a chance to. Resulting in him becoming a rather well-known person among the younger disciples who witnessed him fighting the demonic cultivators, his reputation even spreading all the way back to the Star Shattering Sect where no small number of elders felt a shiver run down their spine as they all remembered the training session they had been forced to participate in before he had reached the Domain Lord Realm.

At the very least, those who had yet to reach the Domain Lord Realm among these elders all felt a sense of relief knowing that they would never have to go through that kind of nightmare again, while the few who had been overjoyed over having just broken through to the Domain Lord Realm all felt a sense of dread as they realized they were still strong enough to become training partners in Chu Yang’s eyes.

Unaware of all of this, Chu Yang continued his rampage through the stronger demonic cultivators. Not intending to let go of the opportunity he had been waiting for to rapidly increase his comprehension of the Dao of the Spear through battle.

In the process, he also ended up causing a momentary pause at the demonic cultivators trying to enter the Star Shattering Sect in the places where he fought the powerful demonic cultivators. All of them having been scared away by the battle.

Unknowingly, he also started to comprehend the Dao of Slaughter through his constant battles with the demonic cultivators. Although nowhere near his comprehension of the Dao of the Spear, he managed to take the first step towards comprehending the Dao of Slaughter.

Slowly, another month passed like this, as the stronger demonic cultivators at the Third Demonic Transformation Realm trying to enter the Star Shattering Sect’s territory lowered with the increased number of deaths at Chu Yang’s hands, while the weaker demonic cultivators who had been scared away by the constant battle between Chu Yang and the powerful demonic cultivators once again began trying to enter the territory of the Star Shattering Sect. Allowing the disciples of the sect to once again fight with the demonic cultivators, as the number of weaker demonic cultivators trying to enter the Star Shattering Sect’s territory continued to grow.

Not long after, the elders of the Star Shattering Sect were overwhelmed by the large number of weaker demonic cultivators and couldn’t guard every inch of the Star Shattering Sect’s borders. Ultimately resulting in some of the demonic cultivators getting through and causing chaos inside the border newly conquered border regions of the Star Shattering Sect that had only recently been integrated and also brimmed with a large number of new cultivation families that had fled from the demonic cultivators and settled down in one of the two border regions.

Although, it wasn’t that bad of a thing, as it gave these cultivation families a chance to show off their usefulness to the Star Shattering Sect by hunting down these demonic cultivators. In the end causing the damage of these demonic cultivators to be minimal.

…

”Finally…!”

At the same time, back in the Star Shattering Sect, Xuan Hao could not help shedding an imaginary tear as he looked at the interspatial ring quest that had been marked as complete after what felt like forever. Even if the reward wasn’t anything useful, at this point in time, he just felt happy that the quest was finally over!

Whoosh~

”Huh? Master!?”

”Where is master going? Weren’t we supposed to train together today?”

Not aware of the internal thoughts of their master who just heard the heavenly sound of a certain quest being completed, Mui and Bai Ning, who had been prepared to be personally taught by their master, were left in a confused state as the person in question suddenly disappeared in front of them before teaching them anything.

”Ah! I get it! Master should want us to comprehend the movement technique he just displayed! Hehe, if I learn it, I will be able to easily outrun those elders trying to catch me whenever I visit the blacksmithing hall for crafting materials.” Seemingly comprehending what their master ”intended” to teach them, both of Mui’s eyes shone brightly as she said this with an excited expression on her face.

”This…”

On the other hand, Bai Ning, who was standing right next to her, could not help panicking when he heard what his junior sister said.

Not just because it involved the spiritual metal of the sect that was stored away in the Blacksmithing Hall, but because he found out that his junior sister had already found out about one of the locations where the spiritual metal of the sect was stored and had apparently already been chased away by the blacksmithing elders once.

No! I can’t allow her to learn such a powerful movement technique, or the spiritual metal stored in the Blacksmithing Hall will be at risk!

Thinking this to himself, Bai Ning slowly turned towards his junior sister, who was looking in the direction that their master had disappeared with an excited expression on her face.

”Junior sister, what do you say I teach you a bit of blacksmithing now that master has left? The movement technique can always wait for the future.”

”Hm? Senior brother… Teaching me blacksmithing!? Waaah! Yeess! Let’s goooo!” Hearing what Bai Ning said, Mui happily exclaimed as she nodded her head filled with excitement. Making it clear to anyone watching just how excited she was about learning blacksmithing from her senior brother, who was considered the most skilled blacksmith in the current Star Shattering Sect.

”Let’s go to my forge for now…”

”Yay!”

Knowing that his supply of spiritual metal was going to take a serious hit by taking his junior sister with him to his forge, he also understood that this would be better in the long term for all of the sect’s blacksmiths.

The longer he could stop his little junior sister from practicing a powerful movement technique like the one their master had shown them, the longer he could keep the spiritual metal stored at the Blacksmithing Hall safe- Or at the very least keep it safe long enough for one of the blacksmithing elders to break through to the Domain Lord Realm.
