Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Looking down at the entrance to the underground cave filled with black miasma that had been sealed up, Xuan Hao noticed the divine runes covering the entrance to the underground cave slowly change as they soon transformed to look like ordinary rocks.

If not for the fact that he had seen it himself, Xuan Hao doubted that he would be able to spot anything wrong with the new rock floor added to the hole in the decaying palace.

"Hm…"

Thinking about something for a moment as he observed the rocks that had now appeared, Xuan Hao cautiously released both his divine sense and domain to scan the interior of the hole along with the divine runes that had transformed into what looked like an ordinary rocky floor. Ready to retreat the moment he felt anything wrong. Not really willing to go through the same pain he went through earlier…

"Nothing…?"

Scanning everything inside the hole of the decaying palace, Xuan Hao found out that no sudden pain came through his domain of divine sense.

It was like there was nothing of notice inside the old decaying palace outside of the random hole in the middle along with the three different paths of footsteps showing someone had been there before…

Bang!

"Sure enough… The divine runes are still there…"

Bringing forth some of his sword intent and launching it towards the ordinary rocks below, Xuan Hao barely caught a glimpse of the divine runes hiding beneath the surface before they quickly returned back to being ordinary rocks again the next second..

His attack was not weak in the slightest and would have been able to easily kill someone at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, but he had barely managed to reveal the divine runes hiding beneath the ordinary rocks for a split second…

"Looks like I will have to come back here in the future when I'm stronger…"

Muttering this to himself, Xuan Hao cast one last glance in the direction of the ordinary rocks at the bottom of the hole at the centre of the decaying palace before turning around. Leaving the decaying palace behind as he made his way outside.

He had already been away for a good twenty or so minutes, so Feng Chen and Shu Yao should have already sorted out the Raging Flame Sect at this point and made arrangement for their outer sect disciples…

Whoosh~

With this Xuan Hao left behind the decaying palace. Not worried in the slightest that anyone else would end up finding the hole inside the decaying palace and rocks at the bottom of it.

After all, even he could barely reveal the divine runes hiding beneath for a split second with his strength at the Domain Lord Realm… How many people stronger than him would be present in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom and the surrounding kingdoms? From what he knew so far. Nobody…

…

"Did you find anything interesting…?"

Leaving behind the decaying palace amidst the many different mountain peaks scattered inside the Raging Flame Sect, Xuan Hao directly appeared beside Shu Yao as she was in the process of looking through the Raging Flame Sect's treasury.

Given that the Raging Flame Sect did not have an interspatial ring or any other similar artifact to store their treasures, most of their precious materials and spirit stones were stored in a large vault located inside the middle of the mountain where the sect master of the Raging Flame Sect lived. All sorts of different defensive and offensive formation covering all the different paths into the vault.

"Hm… I did not find anything too precious here… I doubt the Sect Master of the Raging Flame Sect would put the good stuff in here…"

Seeing Xuan Hao appear beside her; Shu Yao did not panic in the slightest as she instead answered him honestly while picked up a few different treasures and putting them away inside an interspatial ring on her left hand.

From the looks of it, the Spring Flower Sect had already gotten their hands on some interspatial rings.

Well… Given the fact that Shu Yao was Half a Step into the Domain Lord Realm, it was understandable…

"Shu Yao- Elder Xuan?"

Entering the treasury of the Raging Flame Sect a few seconds after Xuan Hao, Feng Chen walked inside as he exclaimed loudly in surprise upon seeing Xuan Hao.

"Did you deal with the Raging Flame Sect…?"

Not waiting for Feng Chen to recover, Xuan Hao asked him as he curiously turned to look over at Feng Chen.

The main reason why the Flying Sword Sect had begun fighting with the Raging Flame Sect was related to a dispute over a spirit stone mine between the current sect master of the Flying Sword Sect, Feng Chen and the sect master of the Raging Flame Sect that had still not shown up yet.

"I have already dealt with the elders along with the inner and core disciples of the Raging Flame Sect… But the Sect Master is still nowhere to be seen and it also seems like his wife is missing… The outer sect disciples have been dealt with in the normal way, so there should not be any future problems.

The only worry now is the missing Sect Master of the Raging Flame Sect… In the future, he will most likely look to take revenge on the Flying Sword Sect after finding out about his sect… Vanishing while he was gone…"

Saying this, Feng Chen looked worried after mentioning the Sect Master of the Raging Flame Sect.

"Don't worry too much about it, I'm still around after all and after we merge together with the Spring Flower Sect in the future, how would the sect master of the now gone Raging Flame Sect be able to cause trouble?"

Shaking his head as he comforted Feng Chen, Xuan Hao watched as Feng Chen tightly clenching his fists for a short moment before letting go with an unwilling look on his face. Clearly not happy about the fact that the sect master of the Raging Flame Sect was still alive out there and posing a future threat to the Flying Sword Sect.

But there was nothing he could do about it. After all, they had no idea where the sect master of the Raging Flame Sect had gone.

The only lead they would have was…

"I will get going, I hope both of you can take care of the treasury!"

Remembering a certain Vice Sect Master that had his cultivation base sealed by Shu Yao earlier, Feng Chen was about to rush out of the treasury vault and back to where the Vice Sect Master of the Raging Flame Sect was so he could properly interrogate him about his sect master's whereabouts when Xuan Hao suddenly stopped him and handed a small ring over to him.

"This is?"

"An interspatial ring, I think it will prove quite useful for you… There is also a pill inside that will help you when you attempt to breakthrough in the future, I also included a small note on what it does for you."

"I- Thank you Elder Xuan!"

Not knowing much about the pill inside the interspatial ring, Feng Chen knew how useful an interspatial ring and could not say anything other than a simple thank you as he soon left the treasure vault and made his way in the direction where they had left the Vice Sect Master before attacking the Raging Flame Sect.

Whoosh~

Watching the disappearing figure of Feng Chen, Xuan Hao took out another Purification Pill and handed over to the confused looking Shu Yao.

"What is this? I feel such a pure and cleansing power excluding from it… Is it perhaps a soul strengthening pill of some sort?!"

Compared to Elder Song who had no idea what the use of the pill was when he first saw it, Shu Yao instantly managed to grasp the use of the purification pill after Xuan Hao gave it to her as she looked at Xuan Hao with a shocked expression.

Even she knew how precious pills and things that could increase the strength of someone's soul was! Even those above the Domain Lord Realm would fight to the death if they found something that could increase the strength of their soul

Shu Yao suddenly felt the weight of the small pill in her hand increase as she understood how truly valuable it was.

"Indeed, with this, you should be able to strengthen your nascent soul even further and increase your chances of reaching the Domain Lord Realm! If you manage to breakthrough, we would be able to have two people at the Domain Lord Realm!"

Smiling as he said this, Xuan Hao ignored the shocked expression on Shu Yao's face as she was lost for words.

Only looking at the pill in her hand with disbelief before turning back to look up at Xuan Hao.

"I… Are you sure that it's fine to give me something like that…?"

Hesitating as she said this, Shu Yao looked like she wanted to return the pill back to Xuan Hao.

"It's fine, the Flying Sword Sect and the Spring Flower Sect are going to merge together in the future after all!"

"I see… I will do my best and make sure this pill does not go to waste!"

"Great! Now let's take care of this treasury… We can sort all of it out after returning to the Flying Sword Sect."

Seeing Shu Yao accept the purification pill, Xuan Hao turned his attention towards the massive amount of spirit stones and other treasures filling up the giant treasure vault in front of him.

Whoosh~

Xuan Hao did not wait as he took out one of the interspatial rings he had crafted earlier on and began filling it up with the treasures and spirit stones stored inside of the vault.

Shu Yao did not say anything and quietly put away the purification pill before she joined him in taking away the resources that the Raging Flame Sect had accumulated over the past hundred years.
