Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1344 Progress of the Disciples

Chapter 1344  Progress of the Disciples

Watching as the wandering cultivators left together with the people he presumed to be from the city lord's mansion, Chu Yang silently felt a weight lift off his shoulders as he didn't have to worry about being caught by the people from the city lord's mansion any longer.

After all, even though he had been confident when leaving the explorer union branch, he didn't truly want to deal with someone at the Soul Ascension Realm like the city lord if it could be avoided. Especially considering that the only method he had to deal with someone like that was the talismans that his master had left with him in case he encountered a situation that he couldn't deal with on his own.

Given that he would soon be entering the core region of the continent where Soul Ascension Realm cultivators and even those above the Soul Ascension Realm were common, he really didn't want to waste his limited number of talismans when he didn't have to, as he had no idea how many of them, he would need after he found a way to pass through the mountain range.

In the end, because of this, Chu Yang decided to wait inside the small inn for another half hour before he finally left the inn to go around and ask about a method to safely pass through the mountain range. Hoping that doing this wouldn't end up with him having to confront someone in the Domain Lord Realm or above.

After all, even though the city lord had already left the city, it was still rumored that there was someone else in the Soul Ascension Realm inside the city lord mansion. Not to mention, it wasn't odd for there to be some hidden soul ascension realm cultivators passing through the city, as it could still be considered an entrance point into the core region of the continent.

…

Back in the Star Shattering Sect, following Xuefeng leaving the sect to pick up the eccentric merchant Lao, it didn't take long for information about this merchant and the fact that Chu Yang was the one who recommended him began to spread among the elders who had personally experienced Chu Yang's might when he had been dragging different Nascent Soul Realm elders to the Combat Hall for practice…

"I heard he is someone only in the Foundation Establishment Relam but has the strength to fight with those in the Core Formation Realm!"

"He, your news is outdated, I heard he can not just fight someone in the Core Formation Realm, but instead fight someone at the Peak of the Core Formation Realm with his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation base!"

"I also heard that he wields a massive two-handed awe more than five meters tall when fighting and that is what first caught Chu Yang's attention when passing by."

"From what I heard, it wasn't the massive axe that caught his attention, but instead his massive figure standing almost three meters tall. Surpassing even demon beasts at the same real in terms of physical strength!"

"Hehe, all of you are…"

Of course, the conversations taking place between the different elders of the sect who had all once been beaten up by Chu Yang didn't really focus on the fact that the merchant he had personally recommended to join the sect under Elder Dust Fairy in charge of the sect's information gathering. Instead, they all focused on the fact that it was someone who had managed to catch the attention of Chu Yang… And in their heads, the only person who could do something like that would be someone with impressive martial prowess.

"Hm? Chu Yang found someone and recruited them a behalf of the sect? Maybe I should take a look and see how talented that person is when he shows up." Even Xuan Hao who had been focused on his cultivation couldn't help muttering this to himself after hearing about what the elders of the sect were chatting about.

Wondering if the person chosen by his second disciple was talented enough to potential becoming his next disciple.

Even if he was a bit older compared to the rest of the disciples he had taken in, Xuan Hao didn't particularly care about it, as there wasn't really any requirement on the age of disciples.

Not to mention, in the future, he would undoubtedly encounter older people with enough talent to be taken in as a disciple.

The only real problem that came with taking older cultivators on as disciples was that they were almost definitely already taken.

Considering the talent that he deemed minimum for taking someone in as a disciple, it would almost be certain that they would have already revealed part of this talent after they got the chance to cultivate.

The only potential way for him to take on an older disciple was to find someone old and talented who hadn't embarked on the path of cultivation yet or to snatch the disciples from others, both of these methods were difficult to accomplish in their own way, as the new disciple would have to acknowledge him as master wholeheartedly for the system to consider the person one of his disciples.

If not, they would not really be a disciple.

Thinking about his disciples, Xuan Hao decided to take the opportunity to use the system to check out how much they had improved over the past few months since his return from the mystic realm.

? First Disciple, Qing Yi ? Race: Human Talent: 45 Dao: Dao of Fire (Domain), Dao of Alchemy (Pseudo Domain) Potential Dao: Dao of Fire, Dao of Wind, Dao of Light, Dao of Space, Dao of Alchemy Physique: Bright Sun Divine Physique (Peak Stage, Small Sun Realm) Realm: Fourth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm Profession: Alchemy (Master Realm) Cultivation Mantra: Heaven Burning Mantra First of all, Qing Yi, she hadn't made much progress compared to last time he had checked on her. Not too surprising considering that she had been using most of her time deepening her understanding of the Dao of Alchemy after reaching the Fourth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm.

? Second Disciple, Chu Yang ? Race: Human Talent: 57 Dao: Dao of the Spear (Domain) Potential Dao: Dao of Earth, Dao of Blood, Dao of Slaughter, Dao of Death Physique: No Special Physique Recommended Physique: Six Paths of Slaughter Divine Physique (Can be refined) Realm: Second Stage of the Domain Lord Realm Cultivation Mantra: Soul Spear Divine Mantra Chu Yang on the other hand had clearly improved in terms of strength, as he had managed to breakthrough to the Second Stage of the Domain Lord Realm during his journey outside the sect. Showing that it was a good idea for him to leave the sect and journey on his own and refine his Dao of the Spear in this way.

? Third Disciple, Bai Ning ? Race: Human, Heavenly Sky Serpent Talent: 34 Dao: Dao of Blacksmithing (Pseudo Domain) Potential Dao: Dao of Metal, Dao of Fire, Dao of Formations, Dao of Wind Bloodline: Heavenly Sky Serpent (Dormant) Realm: Seventh Stage Nascent Soul Realm Profession: Blacksmithing (Master Realm) Cultivation Mantra: Unformed Mantra On the other hand, Bai Ning was clearly going through a period of explosive growth, as he had somehow managed to reach the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm in a relatively short period of time following his breakthrough to the Master Realm in blacksmithing.

? Fourth Disciple, Mui ? Race: Human Talent: 78 Potential Dao: Dao of Water, Dao of Darkness, Dao of Ice, Dao of Space, Dao of Chaos Physique: Desolate Ancient Moon Physique (Dormant) Realm: Eighth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm Profession: Blacksmithing (Abysmal), Formation Master (Abysmal) Cultivation Mantra: Myriad Water Art

Next up was Mui, who had slowed down her cultivation speed significantly since returning to the sect. Although, the reason for her slow down in cultivation speed didn't have much to do with her talent, but more so had to do with the fact that she had been trying really hard to learn the art of talisman making.

Unfortunately for Mui, the art of talisman making was incredibly difficult and also required some understanding of the Dao of Formations. Making her attempts to learn how to create her own talismans unsuccessful so far, though that might have more to do with the fact that the Star Shattering Sect not really having anyone especially skilled in the art of talismans and the only ones with some mastery over talismans was Xuan Hao who had mostly learned about it through reading the records and texts stored in the sect's library.

? Fifth Disciple, Chun Hua ? Race: Nature Spirit, Tree Spirit Talent: 67 Dao: Dao of Nature (Domain) Potential Dao: Dao of Wood, Dao of Life, Dao of Water Physique: Spirit Physique Realm: Second Stage of the Domain Lord Realm Profession: Alchemy (Expert Realm) Cultivation Mantra: Heart of the Forest Last was Chun Hua. Although her cultivation had not increased, it was because she had been learning alchemy from Qing Yi… And looking at how she had already managed to reach the Expert Realm, it seemed like she was also talented in the Dao of Alchemy.

All things considered, all of his disciples were growing well and those below the Domain Lord Realm were getting close to reaching the Domain Lord Realm.
