Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 782 Progress Between Disciples

Understanding how great the natural treasure would be for the upcoming meeting, Xuan Hao didn't waste any time as he quickly started familiarizing himself with its power by walking around the capital city while trying to hide himself as different people.

Sometime he would be an ordinary resident who had only reached the Foundation Establishment, while other time a foreign Domain Lord Realm Expert that had only recently made his way to the capital city.

Testing all kinds of different identities over the next few days against the different Domain Lord Realm Experts that could easily be found inside the capital city, Xuan Hao slowly mastered the power of the necklace. Allowing him to perfectly disguise himself and avoid getting recognized by anyone in the Domain Lord.

However, even if he could hide himself from someone in the Domain Lord Realm, he had no idea how well it would go when he was faced with someone in the Soul Ascension Realm. Unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to encounter any Soul Ascension Realm Experts while walking around the capital city to test it out on. Not that he would have actually tried to deceive a Soul Ascension Realm Expert, as the risk of doing so was not something Xuan Hao felt willing to take at the moment.

In the end, the most important thing for the upcoming meeting was not so much to hide himself from the Soul Ascension Realm experts of the Sky Empire, as he doubted any of them would even be present in the first place from the information he had managed to gather about the meeting from different Domain Lord Realm Experts he had met while walking around the capital city practising with the necklace.

According to that information, the person that would be in charge of the meeting and oversee the establishment of the Sect Alliance, was one of the core elders of the Sky Empire, a Peak Domain Lord Realm Expert that was rumoured to be close to reaching the Soul Ascension Realm!

Even if this elder was powerful, Xuan Hao still delt confident in being able to hide himself from the other party, as he was still ultimately in the Domain Lord Realm no matter how close to the Soul Ascension Realm he was…

If any Soul Ascension Realm Experts really did show up, it would almost certainly be related to the three religious organisations causing some sort of problem during the meeting itself. Not a situation where they would be able to pay much attention to the Domain Lord Realm Experts from the different sects that had shown up.

"Hm… I should hide my strength as someone at the Seventh Stage of the Domain Lord Realm during the meeting and try my best to hide away from the spotlight in case something really does end up happening…" Muttering this to himself as he came to decision on how to proceed with the meeting that was going to take place in less than a day at this point in time, Xuan Hao began making his way towards the small inn where the Domain Lords and other experts from the different independent sects had gathered.

…

At the same time Xuan Hao was trying his best to master the concealment function of the necklace shaped natural treasure, Chu Yang and Qing Yi were sitting together inside the small training space of their master's palace.

"Chu Yang… Are you sure this is it…?"

"Yes, you only need to stabilize your foundation and you should be ready to undergo the Cloud Tribulation and step into the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"To think I'm really about to reach the Nascent Soul Realm… Thank you so much for you help over the past few weeks!"

During the time that Xuan Hao had left, both of them had managed to grow closer due to Chu Yang helping Qing Yi whenever she had any question regarding her foundation and how she should go about overcoming the Cloud Tribulation.

For the first time since both of them had been taken in under Xuan Hao as his disciples, the two finally seemed like actual disciples under the same master…

"No problem, I just hope you will keep your promise from yesterday and help me train some of my combat techniques after you reach the Nascent Soul Realm. After all, the elders always seem busy whenever I ask them for help for some reason… Hah… I guess Elder Song is really over working the elders now that the sect has been expanding so much."

"This… Of course, I will be more than happy to help you with practicing your combat techniques after I reach the Nascent Soul Realm!" Hearing what Chu Yang said, Qing Yi could not help but freeze for a short moment before saying this.

For some reason, she could not help feeling that something was wrong after hearing Chu Yang say that none of the elders had time to join him and help him practice his combat techniques.

Even if the elders had been more busy than usual due to the sect expanding and gaining a lot of new territory, they should not be so busy that they would always have something to do whenever Chu Yang found them…

Whatever it is, there is no use for me to worry about this before I reach the Nascent Soul Realm…

Shaking her head as she thought about this, Qing Yi got back up before she left the small training room and made her way back towards her cultivation room with a determined expression on her face.

After entering her cultivation room this time around, she would not leave before she had managed to perfect her foundation and was ready to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm!

…

"Senior! We have been waiting for you, the rest are all inside the inn preparing for the meeting tomorrow!"

Reaching the inn after a short walk, Xuan Hao was greeted by Elder Scarlet Flame, the self-proclaimed husband of the Sunfire Sect's Sect Master.

"…"

Giving a simple nod in response to Elder Scarlet flame, both of them made their way inside the inn where Xuan Hao was met with a far more solemn atmosphere compared to the first and second time he had visited the inn. From a glance, it was obvious how nervous everyone had become as the day of the meeting and establishment of the Sect Alliance grew closer.

"Who- Ah! It's senior!"

"Senior? Oh! Senior is here!"

"Senior showed up, it looks like we will be discussing the sect alliance meeting now…"

As Xuan Hao stepped inside the inn together with Elder Scarlet Flame, the people sitting inside the small inn all turned their attention towards him filled with expectations. Dispersing the solemn atmosphere that had settled inside the inn in an instant.

"Senior, I didn't expect for you to show up so early… Do you want to join in on our discussion of the meeting?"

"Yes, I also wanted to gain a better understanding of the meeting and more importantly if there are any sects that I should look out for outside of those large ones supported by the large kingdoms."

Seeing that Xu Bao who had been the strongest person among the independent sects before his appearance was the first person to step forward, Xuan Hao responded in kind as he said this.

Like Xu Bao had asked him, his reason for showing up at the inn the day before the start of the meeting was indeed to gain a better understanding of the meeting and what sects he should look out for during the meeting.

After all, considering the fact that the independent sects were not really considered a real part of the power structure of the Sky Empire, it was obvious that some of them would take an opportunity to supress them. This was also one of the main reasons that all of the independent sects that had been invited to the meeting had gathered together with only a few like the Seven Fates Sect missing.

"Any sects that you should look out for? Hm… Outside of the sects that are supported by the large kingdoms, there are also some sects that belong to smaller kingdoms that are not openly supported by any larger power, but in turn receive the support of some noble families.

Even if these sects do not seem that strong outside, the more powerful among these sects have power to rival even the strongest sects nurtured by the powerful kingdoms. The best example of such a sect would be the Dark Net Sect that whose Sect Master is rumoured to have to be at the Peak of the Sixth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm!

Not only that, but the sects supported by the different noble families are always trying their best to take control of our sects or recruit us at any opportunity they see…"

"I see, looks like the sects controlled by the different noble families are rather troublesome to deal with…"

"Indeed…"

As Xu Bao let out an exhausted sigh upon mentioning the sects controlled by the different noble families, Xuan Hao felt like these sects would be the most annoying ones during the upcoming meeting…
