Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Escaping back in the direction of the mountain range separating the neutral territory between the Blue Sea Empire and the Wei Empire, Chu Yang didn’t dare waste too much time resting. Spending most of his time moving, he understood that the sandworm wouldn’t be able to keep the Dao Seed Realm cultivators of the neutral territory occupied forever.

Not to mention, if enough chaos ended up being caused in the neutral territory, it might end up drawing the attention of the Blue Sea Empire and the Wei Empire.

After all, while a battle between a few Soul Ascension Realm cultivators might be negligible to them, a battle between Dao Seed Realm cultivators was not, as it could end up expanding and spilling over into their territory if things ended up dragging on for long enough. Especially considering that the strength of the sandworm should have already reached the Middle Stage of the Dao Seed Realm. Making it difficult for the three Dao Seed Realm cultivators from the major families to deal with it in the short term.

With that in mind, Chu Yang estimated that he would have at least two weeks to a month of time where he didn’t have to worry about being caught by the Dao Seed Realm cultivators from the major families. Following which he would have to be more careful while escaping to avoid leaving any clues behind for them to follow.

At the very least, as his cultivation realm had increased all the way to the Ninth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm or Peak of the Domain Lord Realm, his normal flying speed had similarly increased.

A trip from the Light Hall Trade City that would normally take around two months to complete had been reduced down to around a month and a half.

Meaning that the dangerous period of his escape would only be around two weeks if he was lucky. Pushing his speed a bit, he might even be able to reduce it down to 10 or so days.

Feeling himself becoming more confident in escaping and making his way back to the sect, Chu Yang could not help smiling happily to himself as he rapidly moved through the air.

If he really made it back to the sect, he would by far be the strongest disciple under his master. Not to mention, he would also begin preparing to surpass the Domain Lord Realm after he returned to the sect.

Even though he wasn’t that knowledgeable regarding the Dao Domain Lord Realm and what his master’s plans were for him and what path he was going to take, be it the Dao Domain Lord Realm or the Soul Ascension Realm, Chu Yang still felt extremely excited thinking about how he would be improving his strength even further after he returned to the sect this time around.

Although… with how exhausting things were at the moment and how this chase was nowhere near an end, he thought that it might not be a bad idea to take a little break before he went on to trying to surpass the Domain Lord Realm.

…

At the same time Chu Yang was making his way through the relatively serene plains of the central region, in a large hall decorated with beautiful lotus engravings as the main theme, a large number of people covering themselves making their identities hard to distinguish.

All of them seemed focused on a large board filled with all kinds of requests similar to how the Explorer Union functioned. Only the requests on this board were only related to assassinating someone or gathering certain information about someone or something.

”An assassination request for a Ninth Stage Domain Lord Realm cultivator who was last seen escaping from the main trade city of the Light Hall? Given the price that is being offered for this guy, I guess he might have something to do with the current situation at that place…”

”Indeed, the price offered is more than enough for someone in the Soul Ascension Realm, let alone someone only in the Domain Lord Realm.”

”So… We are taking this job?”

”Of course! It’s essentially free money!”

”What about you two? In?”

”Sure, I have nothing better to do now that my job at certain trade hub ended up being ruined.”

”Hehe, I’m more than happy to join in.”

”Good, let’s head out then, you should all know how fierce the competition is going to be with this one considering the high reward. Especially considering that it was posted by the Shadow Lotus Sect.

”Indeed… With the Black Lotus Sect’s backing behind this request, it is likely to also draw in some of those Soul Ascension Realm Assassins…”

A silence fell upon the group at the mention of Soul Ascension Realm assassins. Truly fearsome people, as becoming an assassin under the Shadow Lotus Sect at the Soul Ascension Realm indicated that the other party was capable of silently assassinating someone in the Soul Ascension Realm, a task that would be deemed impossible under normal circumstances considered the domain and divine sense of a Soul Ascension Realm cultivator.

Only someone who had truly mastered the art of assassination and had strength beyond that of a Third Tribulation Soul Ascension Realm cultivator were qualified to become assassins under the Shadow Lotus Sect, one of the largest neutral forces that permeated the continent in a way not much different from the Explorer Union.

The main difference between the two being that the Explorer Union was far stronger, though when compared to a smaller major power in the core region, the Shadow Lotus Sect could still be said to hold its own.

”let’s get going, maybe we will get lucky and catch the guy before someone like that shows up!”

Not wanting to waste any time, the leader of the small group of assassins hurried the rest out of the hall, as the group soon set off towards the last location Chu Yang had been spotted. Hoping that they would get to him first before others had a chance to do so and claim the lucrative reward for his head.
