Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Feeling the sea of lightning around him dissipating along with his breakthrough to the Early Stage of the Sea Formation Realm, Xuan Hao quickly pulled out the robe he had put away earlier when the immortal soul tribulation had begun and put it on.

Only after ensuring that he was fully clothed did he look up towards the tribulation clouds that had almost completely dissipated. Leaving behind nothing but the dark empty space of the independent space.

”Profound Immortal Realm… Sea Formation Realm… I finally broke through…” Muttering this to himself as he continued watching the last few traces of the tribulation cloud vanishing, Xuan Hao glanced over in the direction of the Tower of Secrets that floated in the exact same location as before. Unaffected by the sea of lightning that had swept through the independent space only a few seconds earlier.

However, compared to the past, he could now feel a truly horrifying power lurking beneath the surface of the seemingly ordinary looking tower.

A power that seemed to have the power to easily extinguish him if he dared to attack the Tower of Secrets… And at the same time, a power that deeply engrained the true power of the ancient Mirage Sect into his mind.

After all, even after such a long time had passed, a left behind ruined with an arguably barely intact formation guarding it, still had power that far surpassed the Profound Immortal Realm- or at the very least gave him the feeling of possessing such power.

No matter, I had already decided that trying to steal from the Tower of Secrets would be impossible after breaking through to the Profound Immortal Realm, this just confirms that it is indeed foolish to try and steal from the Tower of Secrets with my current strength.

Shaking his head as he thought about this, Xuan Hao turned his attention away from the Tower of Secrets in the distance and instead turned his focus towards his status. Curious to see how it had changed compared to the last time he had glanced over it. After all, his strength had now improved significantly compared to the last time he had looked at his status…

Looking through his status, it didn’t take long for him to notice several changes that had taken place since the last time he had looked through his status.

First were the changes to the section of the Daos he had comprehended, as it seemed to have stopped showing all the Daos he had comprehended directly. Instead, just listing numbers and realms he had comprehended.

Of course, if he wanted, he could still expand it into showing the rather large number of Daos he had comprehended so far.

Next up, the disappearance of the layers around his dao seed, something that was expected considering he no longer had a dao seed in his dantian.

However, the next change after that was one to his bloodline, as a new line of text was added, indicating that he seemed to have met some of the conditions of fully awakening the Three Immortals bloodline after his breakthrough to the Sea Formation Realm of the Profound Immortal Realm.

Thinking about it, the three immortals bloodline only seemed to have required a certain level of strength to awaken as far as he knew… And the fact that the requirements for its awakening had been partially met likely meant that he would soon be able to fully awaken it. Maybe advancing a bit further in the Sea Formation Realm would be enough.

At which point, his strength would likely become even stronger.

Speaking of advancing through the Sea Formation Realm, he still didn’t have that much knowledge on how to proceed with his cultivation in the future, as his overall knowledge of the Profound Immortal Realm outside of the name of the realms within the Profound Immortal Realm, was still rather limited.

Learning about the Breaking Dawn Realm and how to advance through the realm and reach the Sea Formation Realm mostly came from the information he had just recently acquired from the Tower of Secrets. Anything beyond that was missing and he at most knew a bit of information from rumors and records that had been gathered by the sect over the years.

”Looks like I might have to gather a few more celestial coins and get the information about the Sea Formation Realm and the rest of the cultivation realms from the Tower of Secrets…” Muttering this to himself as his gaze subtly drifted towards the Tower of Secrets in the distance, Xuan Hao decided that after stabilizing his cultivation realm, the first thing he would do was to complete the remaining three celestial trials inside the mystic realm and hopefully get enough celestial coins to buy information on what path his future cultivation was going to take.

After all, he still very much wanted to get stronger than just the Sea Formation Realm, as he still planned on reaching the Land Creation Realm as fast as possible so he could fully awaken his Stellar Dao Body.

Even if his special physique had been somewhat forgotten by him over the past few years because of how far away fully awakening the physique was, it was now once again pushed to the forefront of his mind as awakening it now seemed right around the corner.

Not just that, but outside of getting enough celestial coins to buy information on the Profound Immortal Realm so he could advance his cultivation, he also wanted to complete the mission that had been sitting idle inside the system’s quest log for far too long…

[Main Quest: The Ten Celestial Trials]

[Description: Having gained the celestial compass, you can now track down the remaining celestial trials inside the mystic realm. Complete all the celestial trials.]

[Celestial Trials Completed: 7/10]

[Reward: Increase comprehension of the Dao of Space, ???]

Even if the quest rewards weren’t as tempting as before he had broken through to the Perfection Realm in the Dao of Space, he wouldn’t refuse an opportunity to further increase his comprehension of the Dao of Space.

Although, his main interest was now on the question marks indicating a secret reward that hadn’t yet been revealed.

From experience, this either meant that he would get a useless reward or something extremely useful.

No matter what it was, it made him excited to complete the quest and find out.

But… Before all of that, he would first have to fully stabilize his cultivation base, something that couldn’t be done in a short time considering just how many realms he had broken through in a relatively short period of time.

Although his foundation was strong and he had essentially prepared for this moment for a long time, he would still need at least a few weeks to stabilize his cultivation base.

The main reason for this was that the current state of his dantian was far from peaceful, as the spiritual sea that had recently been formed was churning wildly like a hurricane had formed throughout his dantian with the dao lotus at the center.

If not for the fact that his dantian was unnaturally strong and capable of withstanding the violent waves of spiritual qi, he would have long since died from the chaotic state of his dantian.

Even then, he couldn’t allow the situation to continue or the spiritual sea inside his dantian would only grow more violent before reaching a point where he would no longer be able to withstand the chaotic spiritual sea.

Whoosh~

With that in mind, Xuan Hao slowly took on a meditative position again. Closing his eyes before focusing his full attention on his dantian… And soon enough, together with the help of the dao lotus at the center of his dantian, the situation inside of his dantian slowly began to calm down, as the spiritual sea no longer had the ability to continue running rampant like it had done beforehand.

Even then, only when the spiritual sea calmed down completely with no waves would the situation be considered stable…
