Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough-Novel

Chapter 533: Massive Spirit Stone

Cautiously observing the battle taking place a short distance away from him, Chu Yang made sure that he was ready in case an attack happened to fly his way. However, from the looks of it, the two groups fighting each other on the chaotic battlefield did not seem too keen on accidently involving them in their fight.

The main reason for this, was most likely the fact that there were around five Core Formation Realm Experts in total including himself defending the caravan… If they ended up joining either of the two sides in the battle, it would inevitably tilt the scale of the battle in the favour of that side!

Because of this, the people fighting close to the edge understood that it was best not to attack them, as they tried their best to avoid the caravan whenever they saw it.

This was of course a welcome surprise in Chu Yang's eyes, as he didn't want to join in on the fight between the two sects. Especially given the fact that he had already avoided joining the fight once before, when it was still relatively small scale compared to the chaotic brawl it had evolved into at this point in time…

Now, his only real worry, was the people in the caravan who had talked about wanting to join in on the fight and help out either the Simen Sect or the Mapai Sect-

"Look! What's that!"

Hearing a shout suddenly come from one of these people, Chu Yang felt that something bad was about to happen, as he looked in the direction that the person who had called out was pointing in.

"…"

In the middle of the chaotic battlefield, a weird oversized spirt stone could barely be seen half submerged in the ground from their current position. Not only that, but several of the Core Formation Realm Experts nearby were trying their best to dig out the massive spirt stone, while at the same time trying to prevent the other side from doing the same.

In the end, the side that was winning at the moment tried freeing the massive spirit stone from the ground, while the losing side tried their best in preventing the massive spirit stone from getting out of the ground…

"Such a large spirit stone…"

"If I had something like that, wouldn't I be able to breakthrough? Even reaching the Nascent Soul Realm is no longer a dream!"

"Just cultivating with it for a few hours would be more than enough for me to reach the Core Formation Realm!"

"Damn this escort mission, I can't let such a huge opportunity go!"

As more and more of the people escorting the caravan discovered the massive spirt stone, they soon decided to abandon the caravan, as they rushed into the chaotic battlefield and joined one of the two sides fighting for the massive spirit stone.

Luckily or not for them, both of the sides were more than willing to welcome them, as they soon joined in on the chaotic battle for the massive spirit stone located at the centre of the chaotic battlefield.

Looking at all of this, Chu Yang not only realized just how unreliable the people from the Explorer Union was when it came to completing the escort mission… But also recognized that the reason why so many people had gathered was not to support the Simen Sect or Mapai Sect but was instead to fight for the massive spirit stone.

Indeed, the two small sects influence would be a bit too much if they had managed to cause such a huge fight all by themselves. Especially given the fact that their sect leaders had only reached the Fourth Stage of the Core Formation Realm, while the strongest people currently present on the chaotic battlefield were close to the Peak of the Core Formation Realm!

"Those useless idiots!"

Watching the people who were supposed to protect them leave in droves as they rushed to join the fight around the massive spirit stone, the servant who had come out from the luxurious carriage to check what was happening, could not help cursing to himself as he stared in the direction of the massive spirit stone.

From start to finish, he did not seem to care about the massive spirit stone and showed no sign of wanting to join the fight for it.

In the end, after a few short minutes, the people left behind to protect the caravan were only a few weaker people at the Peak of the Qi Condensation Realm and earlier stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The only Core Formation Realm Expert who had decided to stay, was Chu Yang. Even if the massive spirit stone was rather enticing. In the end it was just a slightly larger high-grade spirit stone. Joining the chaotic fight for it and giving up his ticket back to his sect's territory, was not really something Chu Yang was willing to do!

If he really wanted a high-grade spirit stone, he could always beg his master for one when he returned to the Flying Sword Sect. After all, the Flying Sword Sect was still a major sect that had several spirit stone mines under it. Given how strong his master was, it should be easy for him to get his hands on a few high-grade spirit stones…

"Those damnable greedy-"

As the servant was still busy cursing in the direction of the explorers who had run off, he suddenly noticed that Chu Yang was still around.

"Someone actually stayed behind… You are… Chu Yang? Right?"

"Yes."

Answering with a simple yes, Chu Yang did not know why the servant had called out to him, as he curiously looked back at him.

"Hm… Given that everyone else in the Core Formation Realm have run away, you and I should be the only Core Formation Realm Experts left… For now, you will help guarding my young master's carriage in place of the one's who… Decided to abandon their escort mission…"

Listening to the servant say this, Chu Yang quickly agreed before moving on top of the luxurious carriage.

"I didn't mean you had to sit on top of… Hah… Whatever, let's continue before we end up getting dragged into the fight…"

Not knowing what to say when Chu Yang suddenly moved on top of the luxurious carriage, the servant could only shake his head before commanding the people still left in the caravan to continue moving along the edge of the chaotic battlefield.

After half hour passed, the caravan with the luxurious carriage at the centre managed to safely bypass the chaotic battlefield.

While they did not end up getting dragged into a fight during this period of time, the overall strength of the caravan had been lowered by a large degree, as they had ended up losing around five Core Formation Realm Experts and over a hundred cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Most of which had reached the middle to later stages of the realm.

From an outsider's perspective, the large caravan had only a single Core Formation Realm Expert and a few people at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation Realm.

Although this level of strength was enough to intimidate some of the weaker bandit groups looking for someone to rob, it was a prime target for any of the stronger bandit groups that had grown rapidly by robbing some weaker sects and family clans following the destruction of the Raging Flame Sect.

"Hehe, looks like the boss will be happy hearing about this!"

At this moment, a bandit belonging to one such bandit group had just happened to spot the large caravan, as he quickly rushed back to inform the rest.

…

Back at the Flying Sword Sect, Xuan Hao walked out from his youngest disciple's room with a satisfied smile.

"Looks like Bai Ning should be fine on his own for now…"

After having returned to the Flying Sword Sect, he had spent all his time teaching Bai Ning and his youngest disciple did not disappoint him in the slightest, as he managed to directly breakthrough from the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm to the Eighth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm under his guidance!

Currently, Bai Ning was in the process of stabilizing his cultivation realm after having broken through and did not need his help.

Even if he could help him quickly stabilize his cultivation base, Xuan Hao didn't plan on doing it, as it was a good opportunity for him to check up on Qing Yi and see how see was doing.

"Still in closed door meditation…" Muttering this to himself as his divine sense locked on to Qing Yi, Xuan Hao soon disappeared from the hallway just outside Bai Ning's room before appearing directly inside the room of his first disciple, Qing Yi.

At the moment, Qing Yi was completely motionless, as she was fully absorbed in her cultivation mantra. Absorbing the qi between heaven and earth, as she slowly got closer and closer to the Core Formation Realm.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Hao thought about something for a moment before taking out the ancient scroll related to the Dao of Fire, that he had gotten from the temple of the Half Spirit race.
