Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1441  Grandmaster Realm Blacksmith and Problem of Slow Cultivation Speed

Together with the free access to the sect's spiritual mines and having the ability to enter them himself to search for precious spiritual metals, Bai Ning managed to successfully breakthrough the barrier that had kept him stuck at the Peak of the Master Realm in blacksmithing.

At the same time, he broke through to the Grandmaster Realm of Blacksmithing, he also successfully managed to establish a Domain with the Dao of Blacksmithing. Stepping into the Domain Lord Realm. Marking the fifth disciple of Xuan Hao's to have reached the Domain Lord Realm. Meaning that every single one of Xuan Hao's disciples had managed to successfully reach the Domain Lord Relam.

Not just was this a terrifying achievement in the eyes of the rest of the elders of the sect, but it also filled many of the sect's younger disciples with awe at the achievement. All of them now hoping that they would be able to become a sixth disciple of Xuan Hao. After all, every single one of his disciples had managed to reach the Domain Lord Realm… And even though most of the sect's disciples were now aware of the existence of realms beyond the Domain Lord Realm, the Domain Lord Realm could still be considered the current pinnacle for most of the sect's higherups.

Outside of Chu Yang, who seemed to be the one closest to surpassing the Domain Lord Realm among the sect's Domain Lord Realm Elders, there was also Feng Chen, who had managed to grow a lot over the past few months with the help of some guidance on the Dao of the Sword from Xuan Hao every now and then. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

At this point in time, even though he was still a bit behind Chu Yang in terms of cultivation realm, he had already managed to reach the Eighth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm. Only lacking behind by a tiny bit when compared to Chu Yang, who seemed to have reached the peak of the Eighth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm from what Xuan Hao could see through the help of his system.

In a sense, the talent of Feng Chen was in no way inferior when compared to his disciples, it was only that his earlier circumstances and bad cultivation talent had been holding him back.

On the other hand, now that the Star Shattering Sect had truly started taking off and he had a proper cultivation environment, his cultivation realm that had earlier remained relatively stagnate at the Nascent Soul Realm had begun to rapidly increase. Showing no signs of stopping any time soon.

Knowing that he was close to reaching the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm soon and might be about to go through the first tribulation to reach the Soul Ascension Realm, Xuan Hao also made sure to inform him about the existence of the Dao Domain Lord Realm and the two paths through the Dao Domain Lord Realm he was aware of.

Although Feng Chen might not be fitting to follow the path, he was taking through the Dao Domain Lord Realm by comprehending several different Daos at once, he seemed more than suitable to follow the path that only required him to focus on comprehending a single dao.

Not to mention, he didn't need to aim for the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm like he had done, just reaching the Intermediate Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm would be more than enough, as it would provide him with an upper hand upon reaching the Dao Seed Realm and create a stable foundation for him to try and reach the Profound Immortal Realm in the future.

The Dao Domain Lord Realm, as long as one could reach the Intermediate Stage of the Realm, seemed to be worth it, even at the increased risk one might face having to pass through the entirety of the tribulation at the same time.

If possible, Xuan Hao also wanted his disciples to at least reach the Intermediate Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm and possibly even the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, but… he also understood that doing so would be difficult, as outside of Bai Ning, the rest of his disciples didn't seem as focused on a single dao as Feng Chen.

Even though it would be more than possible for them to follow the same path as him and comprehend several different Daos and integrate them like he had done to reach the Dao Domain Lord Realm, he had a feeling that the path would be more difficult compared to the path of following a single dao. Especially in the current state of the Star Shattering Sect where there wasn't really much, he could do to help his disciples comprehend the different Daos that they seemed to have a proficiency for outside of pointing them in the right direction.

"The Dao Enlightenment Monument will be useful, but I doubt it will be of much help beyond the Elementary Realm…" Muttering this to himself, Xuan Hao could not help shaking his head. Silently lamenting over the fact that the sect was really lacking opportunities or special locations for the sect's talented disciples to comprehend different Daos, like the Vally of Illusory Beasts.

At least in that regard, empires like the Blue Sea Empire far surpassed the Star Shattering Sect, as they had countless places for specifically comprehending different Daos under their control throughout their territory. Allowing them to send their talented younger generation there to increase their strength. Further strengthening the Blue Sea Empire.

Not to mention, there were definitely also some higher-level locations for their ancestors to comprehend the Dao in depth- Or at the very least areas where it would be easier for them to feel the Dao and continuously deepen their understanding.

Thinking about this, Xuan Hao once again lamented to himself that the current Star Shattering Sect was truly lacking behind.

The only positive was that the Dao Enlightenment Monument was filled with countless different Daos and would be useable for the sect's elders and disciples all the way up to the Elementary Realm and possibly even a bit beyond.

However, after that point, they would essentially be left to comprehend on their own… And even though the rich spiritual qi of the Shattered Star Peaks did make it far easier to grasp the Dao compared to outside, it would inevitably cause some of the sect's elders and disciples to be forced to leave the sect in search of opportunities to increase their strength.

All things considered, this wasn't a problem so to speak as long as the number of disciples and elders leaving the sect to go out on adventures was limited and they didn't disclose their identity, but… The situation would be different if the Blue Sea Empire or other powers took notice.

After all, an ancient hidden sect wouldn't have its disciples and elders do something like that, as they had a rich inheritance with more than enough things to support the growth of the younger generation all the way to the Dao Seed Realm and beyond.

If Elders and the disciples in the Soul Ascension Realm began running around searching for opportunities to comprehend a Dao to the Small Success Realm and break through to the Dao Seed Realm, it would inevitably end up drawing unwanted attention.

A few would be acceptable, but it would definitely be a problem in the future.

Luckily, the current Star Shattering Sect didn't have to worry about this kind of problem for now, as most of the sect's elders were still only in the Domain Lord Realm, still far from reaching the Soul Ascension Realm.

Even then, Xuan Hao still decided to make a trip to Elder Song and inform him about his worries regarding this.

Unfortunately, even the seemingly all-knowing Elder Song didn't have a solution to this problem.

For now, the only real solution that came to mind was to increase his strength as fast as possible and become capable of confronting the different major powers on the continent before the rest of the sect grew to that extent.

The only problem was that his cultivation speed had seemingly reached a snail's speed after he began trying to comprehend the Dao of Space to the Realm of Perfection.

If things continued, he had no idea how long it would take him to reach the Realm of Perfection in the Dao of Space, let alone two other Daos.

Reaching the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm before the sect grew to an extent that it would cause the Blue Sea Empire or others to grow suspicious seemed impossible at the current speed.

"I need to do something different if I want to breakthrough to the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm…" In the end, Xuan Hao could not help muttering this to himself as his thoughts went back towards the mystic realm where he still had an unfinished quest…
