Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough
chapter-1379

Deciding on spending the next few days wandering around the Blue Sea Empire as he waited for the overconfident ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire to at least get into the Frozen Wasteland by the time he made his way back to the sect, Xuan Hao ended up making his way back to the location where the special location contain the Sea of Mist, Ephemeral Forest and the Valley of Illusory Beasts, was located.

Not so much because he planned on entering the place following what had happened the last time around, but more so because he was feeling curious about what had happened since he had left.

Did all the illusory beasts get killed off by the Blue Sea Empire or had some of them survived?

What about the Valley of Illusory Beasts? Was it completely closed off following the desperate and successful escape attempt from the illusory beasts?

It was with these thoughts in mind that he decided to enter the special location for a quick peek, just to see how the gate leading to the Valley of Illusory Beasts was doing, as he could now see through the gate properly after his Dao of Illusions broke through to the Large Success Realm.

"Hm? Nothing much changed even after the destruction of the area around the gate back then?"

However, what he witnessed on the other side of the gate was the same as when he had first entered the Valley of Illusory Beasts. Nothing had changed and he could even see a few illusory beasts moving around, he even spotted someone being hunted down by a large group of-

Wait a second… Isn't that Chu Li? Wasn't he supposed to get picked up by that East Sea General back then or did he come back on his own later after the illusory beasts outside were driven away or killed?

Recognizing the figure being chased by three illusory beast all comparable to the Peak of the Soul Ascension Realm, as none other than the former senior he had encountered back when he had first ventured into the Valley of Illusory Beasts, Xuan Hao could not help tilting his head in confusion.

Not understanding why, he was inside the Valley of Illusory Beasts again. After all, he should know how dangerous that place was after the escape of the illusory beasts.

Guess I should take the opportunity to ask and see if he is in any trouble…

Shaking his head as he thought this to himself, Xuan Hao took a step forward and instantly moved through the gateway leading into the Valley of Illusory Beasts before finding himself above the chase that was taking place between the group of illusory beasts and Chu Li.

At the very least, considering that he was holding his own against three Peak Soul Ascension Realm illusory beasts, Chu Li's strength had improved a lot compared to the last time he had seen him.

Not just that, but he had seemed to follow his advice and started to comprehend the Dao of Space and was in the process of trying to merge it together with his Dao of Illusions to further his understanding of the Dao of Illusions through the assistance of the Dao of Space.

Although this couldn't really be considered him entering the Dao Domain Lord Realm, as he was already at the Soul Ascension Realm and hadn't really established a new domain. Still a bit away from comprehending the Dao of Space to the Elementary Realm.

Not to mention, he was using the Dao of Space to supplement his Dao of Illusions and from what he could tell, Chu Li was on the cusp of a breakthrough at this point in time. All he needed to do was take a single step forward and he should be able to break through to the Dao Seed Realm or Earth Immortal Realm.

With that in mind, Xuan Hao decided to not interfere in his battle, as it might very well be the battle that would allow him to break through his limits and take that step forward and-

Bang! Bang! Bang

Never mind, he had run out of strength and was now in the process of being pummeled by the three illusory beasts and could barely stand up straight at this point in time…

Swish-!

Knowing that it would be best for him to step in before his old friend and former senior when it came to strength ended up dead, Xuan Hao decided to use the Dao of Illusions, as three giant ghostly hands appeared above the three illusory beasts before rushing down and soundlessly crushing their souls without giving them any time to fight back.

"Wha-!?"

The result being three Peak Soul Ascension Realm illusory beasts disappearing and one very confused Chu Li, who had no idea about what had just happened-

"Senior!"

That was until he saw the familiar figure of Xuan Hao descending from the sky before landing in front of him, causing him to rush over with a happy expression plastered all over his face, as he had honestly not expected to run into this senior again since they had last parted ways a few years earlier.

Although… he did feel quite embarrassed about the situation that they met in, though, these thoughts of embarrassment were instantly erased the moment he remembered just how effortlessly his senior killed off three Peak Soul Ascension Realm illusory beast.

Even if he understood that his senior was powerful, it was a little different when he witnessed it firsthand. Especially when it also happened to be three illusory beasts he had been struggling against for the past few hours.

Different from other illusory beasts, he understood very well that every single one of these illusory beasts were no weaker than him. Meaning that outside of the illusory beasts, his senior could also easily kill him in a similar fashion.

However, instead of fear, Chu Li was filled with awe at this awesome display of power and felt even more thankful for the fact that this powerful senior had been gracious enough to teach him in the past. Even more so now that he had cultivated according to his recommendations for the past few years and felt himself progressing after having been stuck in the past.
