Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 137: Distress Message from the Inner Elders!

Chapter 137: Distress Message from the Inner Elders!

Making his way over to the elderly man who had just reached the Nascent Soul Realm, Xuan Hao wondered if he had seen him anywhere other than the Third Star Peak, but that was unlikely as the Flying Sword Sect mostly only kept records on the people already in the Nascent Soul Realm. Not those who were in the Core Formation Realm as there were simply too many of them…

Even then, Xuan Hao guessed that the elderly man most likely belonged to either a weaker sect or just a random family clan ruling over a city or two.

The chances of him being part of a larger sect and coming to the Third Star Peak to look for an opportunity to breakthrough was relatively low as the other sects had their own ways to increase the chances of their Core Formation Experts reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Hello, I did not manage to introduce myself properly yesterday, but I'm Xuan Hao, a Core Elder of the Flying Sword Sect." Seeing that the elderly man had somewhat managed to recover from his earlier Silver Cloud Tribulation, Xuan Hao took the opportunity and walked forward to introduce himself.

The best-case scenario for Xuan Hao at the current moment was that the elderly man was a cultivator without any sect or family. In that case, Xuan Hao would have an opportunity to recruit him for the Flying Sword Sect, just like the Seven Fates Sect had done in the past.

"Core Elder?! Apologies for any earlier disrespect Elder Xuan, I did not expect that you were a member of the Flying Sword Sect… I expected for the third Core Elder of the Flying Sword Sect to look a little… older than you. My name is Chi Hu, just an ordinary wandering cultivator." Showing a shocked expression upon finding out that Xuan Hao was a Core Elder of the Flying Sword Sect before apologizing for how he had acted yesterday, Chi Hu calmed down before long as he introduced himself.

"No worries, I'm not one for too many formalities. By the way… I could not help but notice that you said you were a wandering cultivator? Are you by any chance interested in coming to the Flying Sword Sect…? Compared to the Seven Fates and Raging Flame Sect, we allow way more freedom to our members." Waving his hand to signal that he did not care much about earlier, Xuan Hao decided to invite Chi Hu without going over a long pointless discussion or anything along that line.

From what he had seen earlier at the very least, this Chi Hu had a good character and seemed to be interested in looking after the younger generation. Maybe he would be able to take a few disciples in the Flying Sword Sect after settling down as a Core Elder.

On the other side, Chu Hu was a bit shocked upon hearing the invitation by Xuan Hao.

When he came to the Third Star Peak together with a few of his friends in an attempt to breakthrough, he did not expect to succeed and even get invited to join one of the four big sects of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom!

Chi Hu had lived most of his life as a wandering cultivator. Back when he was younger, he had joined a sect in a faraway kingdom that later ended up disbanding. From that point onwards, Chi Hu lived off the land as he went from place to place and experienced a myriad of different things. Betrayal, love, war between kingdoms and entire empires at times, Chi Hu had witnessed many things over the years.

The reason why he had come to the Heavenly Sky Kingdom and stayed there for the last year, was that he had heard rumours one of his friends had told him about the Shattered Star Peaks and with only a few years left in him, Chi Hu had decided to join his friends as they made their way up the Third Star Peak to make a final attempt at reaching the next realm.

Looking back at his small group of friends starring at him with genuine happiness at his earlier breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, Chi Hu felt a slight pang of pain in his chest as he knew that his friends would most likely never make it down from the Third Star Peak again.

Even with the earlier opportunity before them, they had not managed to take a step forward and reach the next realm.

But this was also understandable as all his friends were at the peak of the Core Formation Realm, if it were that easy to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, they would have done so long ago.

"Can I get some time to think about it first?" Not knowing whether he should join the Flying Sword Sect without first finding out a bit more about than what he had just heard from random people, Chu Hu decided to first talk with his friends if they knew anything about the Flying Sword Sect before deciding.

He had already grown tired of traveling by now and wanted to find a place to settle down and quietly cultivate, Chi Hu hoped that the Flying Sword Sect could allow that to happen as Xuan Hao and his two disciples were way more friendly compared to other sect disciples or kingdom elites he had met in the past.

"Sure, it has already been a while since I left the sect by now. Ah, the Sect Master asked me to welcome a friend of his! You can just come to the Flying Sword Sect when you have come to a decision, take as long as you want there is no hurry. Farewell for now, I have to hurry back!" Getting a certain distress message through his communication talisman from one of the Inner Elders, Xuan Hao remembered that the Sect Master had called one of his friends over before he went into secluded cultivation to ensure the sects safety while he was not there. Exchanging a quick farewell, he appeared besides both of his disciples and grabbed hold of them before using his fastest speed to make his way back to the Flying Sword Sect.

By the time Xuan Hao disappeared from the Third Star Peak Chi Hu could only look around himself in a confusion .

Qing Yi and Chu Yang had no idea what happened as they soon saw the Third Star Peak disappearing in the distance.

Soon they were outside the Shattered Star Peaks as the scenery below passed by in an instant.

The demon beasts that they rode there were left behind as Xuan Hao carried both his disciples towards the Flying Sword Sect.

The message that he had gotten from one of the Inner Elders was quite worrying as Xuan Hao could almost feel the fear and terror from the Inner Elder in question.

It should also be known that only a few Inner Elders had a way to contact him and each of them were those who were at the peak of the Core Formation Realm with a high chance of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm in the future!

For them to even contact him when the Vice Sect master was still there, Xuan Hao could not even begin to imagine what might have happened! Did the Raging Flame Sect perhaps attack them!?
