Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

”Is this perhaps what it means with unable to stop the formation of more layers around the dao lotus?” Muttering this to himself still shocked over what had just happened, Xuan Hao began to understand why it was difficult to stop the creation of more layers around the dao seed.

No… Not difficult, but rather impossible considering how the layers had formed the moment his comprehension reached the Perfection Realm in the Dao of Space.

Considering that it should just have been a slow formation of the layers from what he knew earlier, he guessed that this kind of forcible formation should be a special feature of the Dao Domain Lord Realm and not related to those in the Dao Seed Realm, as their layers should just be forming slowly like he had first thought his own would after he reached the Late Stage of the Dao Seed Realm in strength.

In a way, it was also a way to prevent him from trying to draw things out by not forming any layers around his dao lotus like he had been planning to do originally to get as much time as possible to comprehend the Daos he needed to reach the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm.

At the same time, he could also sense that it didn’t matter how many layers he had around his dao seed before his comprehension of the Dao of Space broke through to the Perfection Realm, as the dao layers would form on their own instantly the moment, he could form more than 24 layers.

In another way, if he had decided to not form any dao layers earlier, he might have ended up in a far worse situation. Possibly even dying, as the qi required for forming even a single layer around his dao seed was a tenth of the qi in his dantian…

Closing both of his eyes as he focused on the internal situation of his body, Xuan Hao ended up spending the next three days taking care of the cracks inside of his dantian. Preventing them from growing any larger. Effecting his strength.

In the process, he also ended up using a large portion of the spiritual herbs good for healing that he had managed to get his hands on, together with a large number of precious elixirs and pills.

Although the cost was terrifying and would undoubtedly have caused Elder Song to faint, Xuan Hao didn’t care much about this, as he understood the importance of his strength remaining intact in case something happened to the sect.

Of course, even if he had managed to recover most of his strength after the three days and countless precious healing medicines for repairing his dantian, he still ended up with several smaller injuries that couldn’t be taken care of immediately and would have to slowly be healed over the next few months.

The most important thing was that his strength was no longer affected after the three days and the only problems left were small injuries that wouldn’t really affect him unless they remained untreated for an extended period of time.

All things considered, it was quite a scary experience over those three days, as the Star Shattering Sect was essentially left in a defenseless position without him being able to do anything in case something ended up happening to the sect.

Luckily, there weren’t any problems during those three days outside of one of his disciples, causing a bit of a ruckus by taking some of the unripe spiritual fruits before running away.

Not that it really mattered much considering that the spiritual fruits in question were from the lower quality spiritual fruit trees intended for those in the Qi Condensation Realm to the Core Formation Realm. Growing at a far faster speed compared to the rarer spiritual fruits that would be useful for those in the Nascent Soul Realm and all the way up to the Dao Seed Realm.

However, different from him, it seemed like his newest disciple, who had ended up in charge of the spiritual fruit trees together with Shu Yao, didn’t agree with this and was currently chasing after the little thief, causing no small commotion as the two of them were currently running through the Shattered Star Peaks.

One filled with anger, while another was happily munching on one of the unripe spiritual fruits that she was carrying in her embrace. The interspatial ring that should have been on her finger likely having experienced and accident of some kind…

”But… The Dao of Space, it really is amazing. Now that I have reached the Perfection Realm, I should be able to almost instantly use the long distance teleportation technique. Although it will be a rather exhausting endeavor.”

Turning his attention away from the chaotic chase that seemed to be currently taking place between two of his disciples, Xuan Hao turned his attention back on his recent comprehension of the Dao of Space. Marveling at the profound insights surging through his mind following the breakthrough.

At the moment, even if he encountered someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm, he wouldn’t fear them, as it would close to impossible to prevent him from leaving if he wanted with his current comprehension of the Dao of Space.

At the very least, when it came to those in the Early Stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm that he had encountered so far, he no longer felt any fear. Instead, he had a feeling that he might even have a chance to fight them now that his comprehension of the Dao of Space had reached the Perfection Realm.

Of course, fight and defeat were two completely different things, but he at least felt that he wouldn’t be that helpless against someone in the Early Stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm if he managed to comprehend a combat technique that utilized the Dao of Space, the spatial collapse didn’t count, as he doubted he would be able to use it before the other party moved out of the way.
