Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 2042  Middle Stage of the Land Creation Realm

The second the Heavenly Earth Vein Root entered his dantian, Xuan Hao distinctly felt a strange attraction emerging from the landmass as the presence of the Heavenly Earth Vein Root seemed to have awakened some kind of inherent desire to devour this heavenly material to further strengthen itself…. And given the fact that he had already planned to consume the Heavenly Earth Vein Root, he didnʼt resist this impulse and allowed the situation in his dantian to develop naturally, as the Heavenly Earth Vein Root was soon drawn towards the dao lotus at the very core of his dantian before being dissolved into a golden liquid that dripped down and merged with the land below, causing a magical transformation to take place as the landmass began expanding rapidly following the infusion of the golden liquid.

In a short time, it expanded by more than three times, while the cultivation bottleneck existing between the Early and Middle Stage of the Land Creation Realm was easily broken through, as he successfully stepped into the Middle Stage of the Land Creation Realm with little to no effort thanks to the assistance of the Heavenly Earth Vein Root. Showing him, just how valuable heavenly materials were for advancing his cultivation in the Land Creation Realm.

If he had more heavenly materials on hand, he even felt that it would be possible for him to directly reach the Peak of the Middel Stage of the Land Creation Realm in a single step. Alongside the unique environment saturated with the Dao of Formations and the Dao of Space thanks to the clash taking place only a short distance away from where he was sitting, there was a very real possibility that he would have been able to directly break through to the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm.

Unfortunately, he didnʼt have any more heavenly materials on hand, so he would have to put aside any thoughts of reaching the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm in a single step for now and instead focus on laying a proper foundation using the Dao of Space and the Dao of Formations so he would be able to easily break through to the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm when the landmass inside his dantian had grown large enough to facilitate a breakthrough.

And from what he could sense, he should be around 30% of the way there after his breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Land Creation Realm. Requiring between three and four heavenly materials on the level of the Heavenly Earth Vein Root to reach the Peak of the Middel Stage of the Land Creation Realm.

That aside, having successfully completed his breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Land Creation Realm without any problems thanks to the Heavenly Earth Vein Root, Xuan Hao found himself focusing on utilizing the Dao of Space to start off with to enhance the landmass within his dantian. Drawing on the profound spatial fluctuations from the spatial storm to stabilize the space around the landmass and the spiritual sea while infusing his own insights in the Dao of Space into the landmass. Forming what could be considered a nascent internal world in the process.

Of course, being a nascent internal world at this point, it was still incredibly unstable and looked like it was about to collapse at any moment.

To stop this collapse, he drew upon the Dao of Formations to establish a framework for the internal world and to stabilize it before it had a chance to collapse in on itself. Utilizing his own comprehension of the Dao of Formations that had reached the Perfection Realm, while borrowing the ancient formation symbols and the Dao of Formations being showcased by the guardian formation of the ancient secret realm to stabilize the situation.

After all, though his own comprehension of both the Dao of Space and the Dao of Formations was profound, both had only reached the Perfection Realm and would have not normally been usable in enhancing the foundation of the landmass or rather internal world that had been created within the dantian centered on the landmass formed upon reaching the Land Creation Realm.

The only reason why it had succeeded being because he could borrow the far more profound fluctuations from the guardian formation of the ancient secret realm and the spatial storm to forcefully enhance the quality of both the Dao of Space and the Dao of Formations for long enough to establish an internal world centered on the landmass.

Although the formation of an internal world wasnʼt exactly mentioned in any information he had managed to obtain regarding the Land Creation Realm, the formation of an internal world was essentially a requirement for reaching the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm in the future, as using a Dao at the Origin Realm to enhance the foundation of the landmass would inevitably result in the birth of an internal world if successful.

In a way, having already formed an internal world without reaching the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm could be considered a bit of an abnormality, but it wasnʼt a problem so to speak, as his cultivation would naturally elevate to the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm when his landmass or the core of his internal world grew large enough.

In other words, all he needed to do to reach the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm was find enough heavenly materials to consume and increase the size of the landmass to breakthrough. The most difficult aspect of breaking through to the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm, the formation of the internal world had already been completed.

Of course, compared to an internal world formed through an Origin Realm Dao, his internal world, formed through two Daos at the Perfection Realm with the assistance of the unique environment that he found himself in could be considered a bit unique, as although the Daos used in its creation was weaker than an Origin Realm Dao, the combination of the two still resulted in a stronger than normal internal world… And that was while the internal world was still at least two thirds smaller than the internal world of a Late Stage Land Creation Realm cultivator who had just broken through, with time and with him reaching the Origin Realm in the two Daos and using them to enhance the internal world in the future, the strength of the internal world would undoubtedly reach a brand-new level far beyond other Land Creation Realm cultivators.

But all of that was for the future, for now, he still had to survive the current situation he had found himself in inside the ancient secret realm- or that was what he wanted to say if it wasnʼt for the fact that the guardian formation of the ancient secret realm had no time to care about him due to the spatial stormʼs presence.

Because of this situation where the two were locked in battle for control, one wanting to force their way inside the ancient secret realm while the other wanted to force the other out of the ancient secret realm, he didnʼt actually have any threats to worry about inside the ancient secret realm. Especially now that there was no need for him to seal his cultivation base while moving around the ancient secret realm.

In fact, without his cultivation base sealed off, the first thing Xuan Hao found himself doing after successfully breaking through to the Middle Stage of the Land Creation Realm and stabilizing his cultivation base was use his divine sense to examine the ancient secret realm.

Trying to see if there was anything hidden that might be valuable to either him or the sect, as the ancient secret realm had once belonged to a massive ancient power like the Noble Li Clan.

But… Unfortunately, he didnʼt find anything of value hidden away within the ancient secret realm outside of a few interesting ancient texts and books within the libraries of some of the older forces of the ancient secret realm that had survived for thousands of years and thus managed to retain some ancient information from the time before the ancient secret realm ended up in its current dilapidated state.

After gathering these ancient texts and records from afar to place inside the sect library at a later date, Xuan Haoʼs focus returned to the clash taking place not too far away from where he was sitting.

Although the conflict showed no sign of ending any time soon, this wasnʼt what he cared about. Instead, it was the fact that observing this clash taking place was beneficial to his comprehension of both the Dao of Space and the Dao of Formations. Allowing him to rapidly progress these two Daos towards the Origin Realm at a speed far beyond what he would be able to accomplish on his own without any kind of external assistance. An opportunity he was unwilling to give up on easily…
