Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough
chapter-232

Thud

Closing the door behind him as he entered his room, Xuan Hao looked around himself before taking out some of the furniture that he gathered from the secret realm and replaced it with his own furniture before taking out one of the purification pills along with the pure qi fish that he had gotten from the secret realm.

He had already put the Ash Sunstone and the Moon Silver that he got from the system away in his interspatial ring on his way to his room and finally felt that it was in a safe place. After all, what if someone with a high cultivation realm happened to pass over the Flying Sword Sect and noticed the two rare materials?

Best case scenario, the expert would just take the two materials and leave without doing anything, worst case, the expert would end up destroying the Flying Sword Sect!

Xuan Hao felt that he had been stupid to just leave the two rare mystic grade materials in his pavilion earlier. At least nothing had happened!

Thinking about this, Xuan Hao observed as the pure qi fish he had taken out gently swam around in the air inside of his room, while taking out the Source Crystal last and placing it in front of him.

For now, he planned to first absorb the pure qi fish along with the purification pill and try to reach the Ninth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm before using the Source Crystal to attempt reaching the Domain Lord Realm.

Sitting down in a mediative position, Xuan Hao closed his eyes as he began using his pseudo domain to draw the surrounding pure qi fish swimming around in the air peacefully towards himself.

Fwoosh~

The small pure qi fish suddenly turned into streams of pure qi as they were absorbed into Xuan Hao's body where they gathered together in his dantian where his nascent soul was located before, they were absorbed by it.

The Nascent Soul inside Xuan Hao's dantian had a silver colour and was in the form of a small ball that was completely pure, untainted by anything as it silently floated inside Xuan Hao's dantian.

The pure qi from the pure qi fish slowly began to flow into Xuan Hao's nascent soul as it suddenly experienced an influx of energy as it began to grow stronger while Xuan Hao's aura also began climbing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Boom!

Reaching a critical point, Xuan Hao's nascent soul began transforming as the small ball that was his nascent soul began to take on a small human shape.

This, however, did not last for long, as it suddenly stopped growing and began stabilizing as the pure qi from the qi fishes disappeared. The earlier human shape disappeared as the ball returned to its original shape.

Seeing this, Xuan Hao waved his hand and caused the purification pill on the table nearby to float over as he immediately swallowed it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As Xuan Hao's nascent soul was about to return to its original shape and begin stabilizing, a new influx of mysterious energy from the purification pill suddenly appeared and instantly entered his nascent soul, causing it to start transforming again.

The nascent soul in the shape of a small ball, once again took on the shape of a small human figure.

Soon the features of the small human figure began appearing and Xuan Hao felt like he was looking at a small miniature version of himself as he observed the process of his nascent soul in the shape of a ball slowly transform into a small miniature version of himself.

"This feels so weird…" As the miniature Xuan Hao finished transformed and opened its eyes to look around inside his dantian, Xuan Hao suddenly felt like he got a new pair of eyes.

One pair was observing the inside of his dantian, while the other was observing the small miniature version of himself looking around his dantian.

Xuan Hao intuitively knew that his nascent soul in the shape of a small Xuan Hao was a part of himself and he could easily control it without any difficulties.

Whoosh~

The miniature Xuan Hao suddenly disappeared from his dantian and appeared directly in front of him as it gazed directly into his eyes.

"Ahh! I will have to get used to this…" Xuan Hao suddenly felt like he was looking directly into his owns eyes and had no idea how to describe the feeling as he could move the small limbs of the miniature Xuan Hao and his own limbs separately without any sort of discomfort.

Looking the pure silver coloured version of himself, Xuan Hao soon recalled his nascent soul as he felt it return back to his dantian where it stopped at the centre and floated with its eyes closed in a meditative position.

Xuan Hao no longer paid any attention to his nascent soul after it settled down and instead looked over towards the Source Crystal as he suddenly became lost in thought.

The realm he had reached right now could not be considered to be the Ninth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm but was instead a realm beyond it.

From what Xuan Hao knew, the Nascent Soul Realm was about strengthening his nascent soul until it would finally transform into a miniature version of the cultivator and become a true nascent soul.

Xuan Hao could be considered to have reached the transitional level between the Domain Lord Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm. The Half-Step Domain Lord Realm.

"But I already formed my pseudo sword domain and only need it to become a true domain to reach the Domain Lord Realm…" Muttering this to himself, Xuan Hao suddenly felt that it would be a waste to use the Source Crystal to reach the Domain Lord Realm.

Normally, someone in the Half-Step Domain Lord Realm would only just have begun forming their pseudo domain, unlike Xuan Hao who had already developed it and could be considered to have already reached the stage of transforming his pseudo domain into a real domain.

Putting away the Source Crystal, Xuan Hao did not plan to delay his breakthrough to the Domain Lord Realm.

Instead, he had clearly felt a change in his pseudo sword domain the moment his nascent soul changed and became a miniature Xuan Hao.

His pseudo sword domain had begun strengthening and transforming under the influence of his nascent soul!

This change was almost negligible, but Xuan Hao clearly felt it.

Given that he would only have to wait for a few days as his pseudo sword domain slowly evolved from a pseudo domain into a real domain, Xuan Hao did not want to waste the Source Crystal to breakthrough a few days faster…

It would be better if he could use it after reaching the Domain Lord Realm to stabilize his cultivation base and possibly go above the First Stage of the Domain Lord Realm.

"I wonder what my status is by now…" Muttering this to himself, Xuan Hao entered his sea of consciousness as his status appeared in front of him.

Name: Xuan Hao

Domain: Pseudo Sword Domain

Talent: ???

Realm: Nascent Soul(Complete)

Professions: Alchemy (Artisan level)

Sect: Flying Sword Sect

Disciples: Qing Yi, Chu Yang

"Looks like two new tabs appeared, domain and professions… However, it looks like the Half-Step Domain Lord Realm is not recognized by the system, instead it just has the complete next to nascent soul…" Not feeling too surprised about this, Xuan Hao soon reached the quest part and suddenly saw a quest that he had almost forgotten about.

[Limited Time Quest: You have found a brilliant way to recruit new potential disciples! Scatter 1000 interspatial rings around the world. The system will add a specific test to the ring that will test the potential future disciples. Interspatial Rings will only be counted towards the quest if they are scattered a certain distance away from each other. Timer will begin upon reaching the Domain Lord Realm!]

[Time: 10 years]

[0/1000]

[Reward: vary depending on the amount of successfully scattered interspatial rings]

"I will have to look through the library of the Blacksmithing Hall and see if I can find anything related to how interspatial rings are made after this is over…" Quietly muttering this to himself after leaving his sea of consciousness, Xuan Hao began stabilizing his cultivation realm.

Even though it did not feel like a lot of time had passed since he entered his room to cultivate, Xuan Hao still felt that a little over two days had passed by this point.

The aura of both Qing Yi and Chu Yang were present as Xuan Hao could feel that both of them were in the same room as Bai Ning.

"I should be able to stabilize my cultivation realm in a few hours at most…" His cultivation base was already stabilizing by itself under the help of his nascent soul.

"After that I will have to train Qing Yi and Chu Yang properly over the next few months before the upcoming alchemist competition…" Realizing that he had not been spending enough time on teaching his two disciples ever since he took them in, Xuan Hao determined himself to spend the next five or so months before the alchemy competition to teach both of them as much as he could.

Like this, Xuan Hao returned to stabilizing his cultivation base and getting more familiar with his nascent soul. Not realizing the fact that nobody outside of himself had realized that he had just broken through.
