Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Although he didn’t plan to take on Li Feng as a disciple any longer, it didn’t mean he planned to just ignore him, as his talent for the body cultivation path would prove to be important for the sect in the future. Even if he didn’t end up taking him on as a disciple, it didn’t mean that he couldn’t still lend him and his friends a hand. Especially considering that they would soon enough be the only ones following the body cultivation path within the Star Shattering Sect.

Speaking of this new cultivation path, it might also prove useful to some of the less talented disciples who didn’t originally do well on the traditional immortal cultivation path. If anything, it might prove to be another way forward for those who end up stuck at the Nascent Soul Realm with little hope of moving beyond it under normal circumstances.

As he thought about this, Xuan Hao looked towards the group as they had already begun making their way towards the branch sect that they had originally intended to join the Star Shattering Sect through. Knowing that it wouldn’t be too long before these disciples ended up joining the main sect at the Shattered Star Peaks.

If anything, before that happened, he planned to go through the information that he had managed to get his hands on regarding the body cultivation path and make sure it was ready to be disseminated through the sect when the time came- or, at least some of the lower realms corresponding to the Qi Condensation Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Core Formation Realm and Nascent Soul Realm were ready, as it would still take some time before the later parts were needed.

In that regard, he also had a feeling that it might be for the best to organize the body cultivation path realms, so they corresponded more to the traditional immortal cultivation realms.

Not just to make the cultivation realms easier to understand, but also because there was no clear bottleneck between the Martial Arts Disciple, Warrior and Master Realm and it was all comparable to the Qi Condensation Realm. Simplifying it could simply be done by renaming it to the Blood Refinement Realm or something along that line and split it into three minor realms corresponding to the Martial Arts Disciple, Warrior and Master Realm.

In fact, when it came to make these realms easier to understand, part of him had already begun the process, as he had a feeling tat those lower realms weren’t split up like that in the past.

The main reason he thought so being the fact that the ancient information he had obtained from the ancient secret realm that seemed to retain the original name of the cultivation realm was the World Bearing Saint Realm.

As for the Martial Arts Saint Realm… Though it was also obtained through ancient information that had survived over the years within the ancient secret realm, he seriously doubted that there was a single major realm that encompassed not just the Domain Lord Realm and Soul Ascension Realm, but also the Dao Seed Realm that came after it.

Well… It was possible, but he found it somewhat doubtful and planned to try and see if he could dig up more information on this realm in the future…

”S-senior… Where are we?” As his thoughts wandered towards what to do in the future in regard to the body cultivation path that would have to be disseminated through the sect at some point, a somewhat nervous voice interrupted his train of thought, causing his gaze to shift downward towards Qian Qing, who was nervously standing beside him. Having remained silent so far out because of the overwhelming shock she felt upon stepping onto the Ewaria Continent.

A shock that was understandable, as though the spiritual qi in the air could be considered thin because of how far from the Northern Core Region, they currently found themselves, it was still on a completely different level compared to the ancient secret realm that was almost completely devoid of spiritual qi. Making even the Qi Condensation Realm a difficult realm to reach and later progress through.

”The Northen Region of the Ewaria Continent within one of the outer regions of the Northern Region… Though… I guess that won’t help you much… Just think of it as somewhere within the world that the original creators of your world came from.” Going over the information of where they were, Xuan Hao quickly realized that Qian Qing wouldn’t know anything about the Ewaria Continent and quickly corrected himself.

Even if the current world was far from the same level as what it had once been in the past, it was essentially a true statement. Not to mention, Qian Qing wouldn’t really know the difference as the state of the world was still thousands of times better than the ancient secret realm, she had been born into and stuck inside for her entire life.

The only time that the state of the world started to become a problem would be once someone reached the Profound Immortal Realm or the Celestial Immortal Realm, as the resources one needed to advance would truly be far harder to obtain compared to the past. Making progress far more difficult.

Not to mention, there should still be a reason why there weren’t any Venerable Realm cultivators around. The reason he had thought of earlier might be one reason, but an entirely different one that didn’t involve the river of time could also just be that the world currently lacked some special cultivation resources that were needed to breakthrough to the Venerable Realm.

And… There was also a chance that the Ewaria Continent lacked something for the breakthrough and to breakthrough to the Venerable Realm, one would have to leave the continent and go seek it within the endless ocean or the other continent that he hadn’t learnt much about beyond their existence.

The only real way to answer these questions would be for him to go to the Southern Central Region and seek out answers from the major powers there or visit another ancient hidden sect to try and obtain information from them on the Venerable Realm and the world outside the Ewaria Continent, both of which were difficult to accomplish with his current strength at the Middle Stage of the Land Creation Realm.

After all, though he could be considered powerful within the Northern Central Region, the same could not be said for the Southern Central Region that had Star Creation Realm cultivators present within it.

”Ewaria Continent… Northern Region… Outer Region…” At the same time Xuan Hao once again found his mind wandering towards the prospect of reaching the Venerable Realm in the future and the difficulties involved in accomplishing this, Qian Qing silently muttered bits of the information Xuan Hao had shared with her as she firmly remembered them. Understanding that this information would be important if she wanted to go anywhere in the future in this unknown world.

Of course, she was still unaware of the fact that Xuan Hao had already intended to drag her back to the sect and had no plans of just letting her loose after bringing her all the way back with him from the ancient secret realm. If he really intended on doing something like that, he would have just pushed her through the spatial passage that her fellow villagers had ended up taking.

Not because he intended her to run the risk of dying by passing through one of the random ancient spatial passages, but because it was one of the few ancient spatial passages that he could already somewhat sense led to somewhere on the Ewaria Continent or at least somewhere close to it. Meaning that the danger of entering it should be far lower than some of the other ancient spatial passages that he sensed led far beyond what his senses could pick of. Potentially somewhere on other continents scattered through the world or lone islands within the endless ocean.

Still… Even if ending up on a lone island in the middle of the endless ocean might not be the best outcome, it wasn’t the worst either, as one could always establish themselves safely on such an island if it only had a few weaker demon beasts living on it. Even with stronger demon beasts present, one could always avoid them.

Shaking his head as he thought about this, Xuan Hao didn’t linger around any longer and directly picked up the unsuspecting Qian Qing before taking her back to the Star Shattering Sect.

Whoosh~

”Whaaaa~!”

Earning a rather surprised yelp from the older lady as she hadn’t exactly expected to suddenly get picked up once again before being dragged away by him. Having fully believed that she would just get left behind by hm after they left the ancient secret realm. Understanding full well that she had already given him everything she had of value inside of the ancient secret realm.
