Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

"How terrifying..." Muttering this to herself as she observed the fall of the Onyx Empire's capital city, Elder Dust Fairy quickly made the demonic cultivator carrying the observation artifact leave the place before he caught the attention of those terrifying True Demon Realm demonic cultivators who didn't seem to care whether it was a normal cultivator or a demonic one as they massacred everyone inside the city and around it.

Soon after, she stopped observing the situation taking place in the Onyx Empire and instead took out a communication talisman to inform the different demonic cultivators, who now worked under her through the help of Su Wuhan, who made it seem like she was also a demonic cultivator, about the situation and have them prepare for leaving the different outpost that they had established over the past few months inside the Onyx Empire under the guise of escaping before the people from the Blue Sea Empire appeared.

In truth, her intention wasn't to save these demonic cultivators, but was instead to hand over these outposts to the people under her from the Star Shattering Sect.

After all, the chance of these demonic cultivators escaping from the Onyx Empire in less than three months' twas close to none.

Not to mention, the experts from the Blue Sea Empire would probably not just kill off the demonic cultivators in the Onyx Empire but would likely also enter the Frozen Wasteland to push back the demonic cultivators.

"Ah! Now that I think about it, I will also have to find a secret realm to hide Su Wuhan inside. The only problem is that most of the secret realms in the surroundings are all known and likely to get searched." Remembering the fact that she also had to start thinking about where to hide Su Wuhan, Elder Dust Fairy could not help frowning as she turned to look back in the direction of the Star Shattering Sect that was at least a few days travel from her current location.

"Maybe that old fellow knows about ssecret realm I can use to hide Su Wuhan... Looks like I will have to make a trip back to the sect."

Shaking her head as she said this, Elder Dust Fairy didn't waste any tas she quickly finished up the last few preparations for having the demonic cultivators under her hand over the intelligence network that had been built up inside the Onyx Empire to a few mortals that had been "bewitched" by her and would take care of things until the experts from the Blue Sea Empire left before she began making her way back to the Star Shattering Sect.

…

As Elder Dust Fairy made her way back to the sect, Xuan Hao was busy helping Qing Yi make her last few preparations for breaking through to the Domain Lord Realm.

Although she could have broken through to the Domain Lord Realm over six months earlier, she had pushed it back as she was fully absorbed in alchemy after she broke through to the Master Realm. Even neglecting her cultivation to the point where he was starting to worry whether or not Mui would end up breaking through to the Domain Lord Realm before her.

Even if her cultivation speed had slowed down significantly since she reached the Nascent Soul Realm, it would still not take more than a few years before she managed to break through to the Domain Lord Realm with her current speed. Making the act of surpassing Qing Yi and reaching the Domain Lord Realm before her a possibility if Qing Yi decided to focus solely on alchemy for the next few years.

Maybe knowing this and not wanting to be surpassed by her new junior sister who still hadn't managed to figure how to grow any taller, Qing Yi had decided to breakthrough to the Domain Lord Realm.

In the end, to ensure her safe breakthrough to the Domain Lord Realm, she had even sought the guidance of not only her master, but also other Domain Lord Realm cultivators from the sect who had recently broken through. Learning from their situations when breaking through to prepare herself…

Boom!

And after another few days of preparations, Qing Yi managed to breakthrough to the First Stage of the Domain Lord Realm without any problems.

FWOOOOSH-!

However, as she finished her breakthrough, a terrifying flsuddenly envelopted her and the surroundings as her strength seemed to climb rapidly-

Boom!

Boom!

And in a few short seconds, her cultivation directly broke through to the Third Stage of the Domain Lord Realm, causing the chaotic state of her domain to grow even more violent as it forced him to step in and ensure that it didn't affect the old elder who was similarly in the process of breaking through to the Domain Lord Realm.

Although the formation in place should have been able to handle it on its own, he didn't want to take any risks considering that it didn't take much for him to control the situation with his current strength and prevent Qing Yi's chaotic domain from affecting the poor elder who had chosen a bad tto try and reach the Domain Lord Realm.

Rumble~

As the situation calmed down following his interference, Xuan Hao began to observe the situation of Qing Yi who was still engulfed in fire.

Is it perhaps something related to her divine physique?

Seeing that nothing was wrong with Qing Yi outside of the fact that she seemed to have grown stronger, Xuan Hao guessed that the current situation most likely had to do with her Bright Sun Divine Physique breaking through to a new realm.

With that in mind, he turned to use the system to view her status...

✧ First Disciple, Qing Yi ✧ Race: Human Talent: 45

Dao: Dao of Fire (Domain), Dao of Alchemy (Pseudo Domain) Potential Dao: Dao of Fire, Dao of Wind, Dao of Light, Dao of Space, Dao of Alchemy Physique: Bright Sun Divine Physique (Peak Stage, Small Sun Realm) Realm: Third Stage of the Domain Lord Realm Profession: Alchemy (Master Realm) Cultivation Mantra: Heaven Burning Mantra

And indeed, like he had expected, her divine physique had broken through from the late stage of the Small Sun Realm to the Peak Stage. Not just increasing her cultivation realm, but also increasing her talent by an entire seven points. Making him wonder just how much her talent would increase after her divine physique broke through again.

Wait… Now that Qing Yi has broken through to the Third Stage of the Domain Lord Realm, doesn't that mean she is now my strongest disciple again? Hehe, I'm looking forward to seeing how Chu Yang reacts when he realizes this.

Chuckling to himself as he thought about the reaction Chu Yang would have when he realized that Qing Yi had surpassed him, Xuan Hao didn't waste any tin taking out his communication talisman to inform all his disciples about Qing Yi's breakthrough to the Domain Lord Realm. Making sure to include the fact that she had broken through to the Third Stage of the Domain Lord Realm in fashion not much different from how Mui had broken through to the Third Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm directly after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

Hm… But I wonder if her rapid breakthrough will have skind of effect on her domain…

Thinking this to himself as he finished informing his other disciples about Qing Yi's breakthrough to the Domain Lord Realm, Xuan Hao narrowed his eyes slightly as he used his divine sense to examine her domain more in depth than he had done before.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long before he realized that he could not find anything out of the ordinary in her domain.

Well… It was not that there wasn't anything out of the ordinary about her domain, but more so the fact that it was still in a far too chaotic state.

The only thing he could conclude for now was the fact that there wasn't anything big that had changed about her domain and if there was something, it wouldn't be that big or make that much of a difference or he would have noticed it even though her domain was in a chaotic state.

Whoosh~

As he retracted his divine sense following this realization, Xuan Hao silently sat down to watch over her while she stabilized her domain.

Considering that her breakthrough was so unique, he didn't dare to slack off and enter cultivation while keeping an eye on her with only a small part of his consciousness. Instead focusing his full attention on her as she continued to stabilize her domain.

Only really looking elsewhere when his other disciples began showing up to see their senior sister who had managed to directly break through to the Third Stage of the Domain Lord Realm in a single step. Becoming the strongest among all of his disciples without anyone close to contending with her.
