Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 2111 Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm, Embryonic World (2)

Having successfully broken through to the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm with no real bottleneck blocking his path forward thanks to his internal world having already formed within his dantian ahead of time, Xuan Hao shifted his attention to inspecting his current internal state following his breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm. Seeing that there wasn't much of a change in his internal situation outside of the power contained within his internal world becoming stronger compared to when he had still been in the Middle Stage of the Land Creation Realm.

The overall increase in strength being far lower than he had originally anticipated, but then again, it made sense considering one wouldn't normally have an internal world before breaking through to the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm, him already having an internal world made the increase in strength upon breaking through seem far lower compared to someone who only properly established an internal world when breaking through to the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm.

Now that he had reached the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm, the next goal was to enhance the foundation of his internal world by infusing the Daos he comprehended into the internal world, something that was far from simple, as the minimum requirement to infuse a Dao into ones internal world was for said Dao to have reached the Origin Realm, something that he hadn't yet managed to accomplish even when it came to the Dao of Space that he had walked the furthest with of all the Daos he had comprehended so far.

In other words, it would still take some time before he would be able to breakthrough to the Peak of the Land Creation Realm and could start setting his sights on the Star Creation Realm beyond it.

The one positive to the entire situation was that heavenly and earthly treasures could also be used to help with his progress through the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm, as some treasures aligned with specific Daos would make it far easier to comprehend those Daos by consuming them.

However, even if heavenly and earthly treasures could be used to speed up one's comprehension, a very real problem being was the simple fact that heavenly or earthly treasures related to the Daos that he had reached the Perfection Realm in weren't exactly easy to find. The only heavenly or earthly treasure he might have some hope in finding being one related to the Dao of Ice.

After all, so far, the heavenly and earthly treasure he had encountered so far were either related to the Dao of Life, the Dao of Wood, the Dao of earth or other similar plant-related Daos.

Any heavenly and earthly treasures related to something like the Dao of Space or even the Dao of Formations would undoubtedly only be born within extreme environments related to the two Daos. Clear problem here being that natural locations where this kind of extreme environment formed would almost certainly be some kind of Dao Ground or in the case of the Dao of Space, a violent spatial storm that had been raging for countless years without pause and in turn given birth to a heavenly treasures related to the Dao of Space.

Thinking about it, Xuan Hao had a feeling he should be able to find some kind of heavenly treasure related to the Dao of Space if he dove headfirst into the spatial storm that had swallowed up the ancient secret realm where he had picked up the ancient formation spirit.

Problem was… He doubted he would be able to come out alive if he dove into that kind of spatial storm with his current strength and comprehension of the Dao of Space.

In fact, he doubted he would be able to enter it even after his comprehension of the Dao of Space reached the Origin Realm and his cultivation broke through to the Star Creation Realm. Maybe only by breaking through to the Venerable Realm beyond the Profound Immortal Realm would he stand a chance inside that kind of terrifying spatial storm.

Shaking his head at the thought of this, he decided to take this opportunity to check his status through the system for once to see if anything had changed now that he had broken through to the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm.

Pet: Lazy Winged Lion (Peak Stage of the Dao Seed Realm), Rabbit Demon Beast (Early Stage of the Breaking Dawn Realm (Profound Immortal))

Looking through his status, outside of the increased number of disciples that had appeared along with the increase in strength that the winged lion demon beast had experienced compared to the last time he had checked his status. Not much had changed beyond his cultivation, changing from the Middle Stage of the Land Creation Realm to the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm.

The only real change beyond that was the fact that the size indicators for the landmass and spiritual sea had vanished and been replaced by a new internal world setting that just had the simple words, embryonic world next to it without any other indicators. Making it easy enough for him to understand that while his internal world had been acknowledged, it was still clearly in the early stage of development with not a single law beyond the somewhat incomplete mix that had allowed him to form the internal world before reaching the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm.

Although this was fine and help start the formation of his internal world ahead of time, it was clear that the Daos he had used back then hadn't fully become a part of his internal world and would ultimately still need him to reach the Origin Realm in the respective Daos to fully integrate them into his internal world, something he understood full well was going to take a long time. Time, he didn't exactly have much of considering how the ancient dao seals near the sect wouldn't hold up for more than a hundred years and he had to reach the Venerable Realm to stand a chance when those seals broke in the future.

Even if his progress so far had been fast and his foundation remained stable and powerful, he also understood that the real challenge wasn't him getting through the Land Creation Realm and reaching the Star Creation Realm but was instead on him breaking through to the Venerable Realm.

Spending a few years reaching the Peak of the Land Creation Realm and then another few breaking through to the Star Creation Realm might be fine, but if things dragged on for too long, he might not have the time needed to reach the Venerable Realm in time.

Maybe because of this, even though he was overcome with happiness upon feeling himself breaking through to the Late Stage of the Land Creation Realm, he didn't let this happiness last long before his attention shifted entirely back on how to reach the Peak of the Land Creation Realm and later the Star Creation Realm.

Something that brought his mind back on the ascension realm tower in the distance. Understanding deep down that this was the only thing that would be able to aid him in increasing his strength beyond him going to the Southern Central Region of the continent to fight for opportunities there.

Even if the option of increasing the cultivation of his disciples was also around, he understood that there wasn't much he could do to help them increase their strength after they had reached the Dao Domain Lord Realm and started walking their own path. All he could do was try and guide them silently from the side and try to point them in the correct direction.

Increasing Li Chi and Lu Dongli's cultivation fast was possible, but given how low their cultivation was, their increase in strength wouldn't be of much help and might even compromise their foundation, something he didn't want to see happening.

In other words, unless he found something of immense use in assisting his disciples in comprehending the Daos they specialized in, he could only leave them to explore and comprehend their path on their own. Hoping one of them would take the next step forward and break through to the Dao Seed Realm before problems arose and the ancient dao seals started failing.
