Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 433 - Beginning Of Chaos!

Chapter 433 - Beginning Of Chaos!

Flying through the underground cave, Xuan Hao soon noticed that the cave was getting smaller and smaller with every meter he travelled. Even worse, he was still far away from the surface and there had been no new tunnels appearing either. In the end, he might just have forced himself into a corner by escaping into the underground cave…

At least he had would have more time and have a higher chance of finding a way back to the surface by entering the underground cave… Far better than waiting for the demonic cultivator to catch up to him in the underground tunnel network located beneath the eastern part of the capital.

"So fast!?"

Feeling the demonic cultivator growing closer and closer with an even greater speed than before, Xuan Hao could not help growing a bit nervous about his future outcome. No matter what, he didn't want to end up in a fight with the demonic cultivator.

Even if he ended up winning, he would surely end up injured in the process and when he got back to the surface, he would still have to deal with whatever scheme that General Guan had planned to deal with Yi Min.

The plan to deal with someone like Yi Min in her own territory would surely be terrifying...

Shaking his head as he thought about this, Xuan Hao stopped himself from letting his thoughts wander towards what plans General Guan might have for dealing with Yi Min. Instead focusing on his current precarious situation.

"A gate?"

Looking up ahead, Xuan Hao felt a bit bewildered as he spotted a giant gate blocking his path forward appear up ahead and for some reason, the gate looked quite familiar. Not that he had any time to think about it as he still had a demonic cultivator chasing after him from behind…

Whoosh!

Directly gathering his power together with his sword domain into a small thin transparent sword, Xuan Hao did not even bother finding out how strong the giant gate blocking his way was before slashing down towards the large gate in the distance.

Along with the transparent sword descending, a terrifying arc of sword light was formed in the air along the travel path of the sword

Swish~

Within a short instant, the arc of sword light was fully formed as it flew towards the large gate, while the transparent sword in Xuan Hao's hand dispersed into the surrounding. Leaving behind no trace of its existence.

BOOM!

The arc of sword light formed by the transparent sword directly crashed into the large gate ahead, as it exploded into before transforming into a terrifying vortex of sword energy that quickly grinded its way through the large gate before dissipating upon having completely destroyed the large gate.

Whoosh~

Just in time for Xuan Hao's arrival as he easily passed through the now destroyed gate and made it to the other side.

The sword attack he had used just a moment ago, was something he had come up with himself after having studied the Untold Swords Mantra's sword moves. Especially the first one, Sword Shadow, regarding the vortex of sword energy…

[Side Quest 1/2: Explore the deeper part of the cave. (complete)]

[Reward: Unlock next part of the quest]

[Proceeding to issue second part of the quest…]

Feeling the sudden activity of the system inside his sea of consciousness after he passed through the destroyed gate, Xuan Hao felt a wave of confusion wash over him before he finally realized why the large gate, he had just destroyed just now looked so familiar to him…

"WHO!?"

Along with an all too familiar voice, a fear inspiring dark domain expanded over towards his direction from the other side of the now gone gate.

"You!? Why are you here again!?"

Realizing that it was Xuan Hao who had shown up again, the killing intent of the Domain Lord with the dark domain clearly increased to another level as he thought Xuan Hao had come to make trouble once again ruining the base that had just recently been repaired…

Whoosh!

Without even bothering to respond to the other party, Xuan Hao directly used his ice domain to counter his domain before rushing forward with renewed energy.

Compared to the unfamiliar cave behind him, Xuan Hao had already been to the underground base before, and he already knew the way back to the surface from there!

All he had to do now was rush towards the exit he already knew about!

"How dare you just run away again! This time-"

Seeing Xuan Hao completely ignore him as he rushed towards the newly constructed main gate into the underground base, the Domain Lord in charge of defending the underground base did not even have time to complain before he suddenly sensed the terrifying demonic cultivator chasing after Xuan Hao from behind.

"…"

What in the world is happening today? Where did that great demonic cultivator suddenly come from…?

Realizing that the demon was chasing after Xuan Hao, the Domain Lord who was just about to rush after Xuan Hao decided to remain silent and not interfere. No matter what, he did not plan to involve himself in any more troublesome matter.

And… The demonic cultivator chasing after Xuan Hao was far stronger than him. Maybe even his senior brother was inferior…

Thinking along this line, the Domain Lord quickly retracted his domain so as to not offend the great demon passing through his little base by accident.

Whoosh!

Watching as both Xuan Hao and the demonic cultivator quickly disappeared from sight, the Domain Lord let out a sigh of relief before smiling wryly upon noticing the destruction that the two had brought upon the underground base.

Not only were both the gates destroyed, but all the buildings inside were destroyed by the shockwaves created by Xuan Hao's attack when he destroyed the second gate…

Can things even get worse…? Wait… Both gates are destroyed, then what about the seal-

"ROAR!"

Just as this thought crossed through his mind, a terrifying roar could be heard coming from the underground cave that Xuan Hao and the demonic cultivator had come out from…

…

[…Second part of the side quest has been issued!]

[Side Quest 2/2: Kill the demonic creature that has just broken free from its seal in the underground cave]

[Hint: The demonic creature is currently in a weakened state due to being sealed for a long period of time and is currently only comparable to a Half-Step Soul Ascension Realm Expert, it's recommended you deal with it before it recovers!]

[Reward: Drifting Cloud Steps]

"This is-!?"

At the same time that he was escaping, Xuan Hao quickly looked over the second part of the of side quest with a shocked expression on his face.

He had to kill a demonic creature that had the strength of a Half-Step Soul Ascension Realm Expert! Not only that, but that was the weakened strength of the demonic creature!

At this point in time, Xuan Hao no longer felt that the demonic cultivator chasing after him from behind was that scary. After all, the demonic creature was very likely to reach the Soul Ascension Realm when it recovered!

The only thing that confused him a bit was that he had not seen any terrifying demonic creature when he escaped through the underground cave just a moment ago…

"ROAR!"

Hearing the loud roar that suddenly came from behind, Xuan Hao and the demonic cultivator both turned to look back towards the direction of the underground base.

Only to see an elderly man escaping like his life depended on it with a giant demonic rat almost the size of the entire underground cave chasing him from behind with a fierce look on its face.

Rumble~

Each step of the giant demonic rat caused the underground cave to begin collapsing. The elderly man running away from the giant demonic rat was even more pitiful as he was constantly bombarded with wave after wave of giant rocks from the collapsing underground cave.

Even if he used his domain to stop the rocks from hitting him, it still ended up slowing down his speed as the giant demonic rat closed in on him.

"…"

Xuan Hao did not really have anything to say to this as the elderly man currently being chased by the giant demonic rat was the Domain Lord that had protected the underground base just a moment ago.

Making it to the tunnel he had first used to reach the underground cave where the secret base was located, Xuan Hao didn't wait for even a moment as he rushed into it and made his way up towards the surface. The demonic cultivator following closely behind him. Followed by the elderly Domain Lord escaping from the giant demonic rat.

Bang!

"Roar!"

Seeing the elderly man escape into the small tunnel only designed for a few humans to walk side by side through.. The giant demonic rat roared angrily as it crashed headfirst into the cave walls before angrily digging into the ground where the tunnel was located to chase after the elderly Domain Lord.
