Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Arriving at the location where the winged lion demon beast had found the dead demonic cultivator that ended up causing it to lose control, Xuan Hao was surprised to discover that the massive body described by the winged lion demon beast was nowhere to be found. All he could see was the impact on the ground where the body should have landed in the past along with the residual demonic qi floating around the place.

Although this made it difficult for him to determine the strength of the demonic cultivator who had been killed, it was not impossible, and he could at least confirm from this that the person who had killed this demonic cultivator should have returned to take the body with him or her.

As for why the body had been left around for long enough that the winged lion demon beast could discover and take a bite out of it, Xuan Hao had no idea, but he did guess that it should be because the one who killed the demonic cultivator should have been busy and couldn't take the dead body immediately.

Unfortunately, there was no way for him to determine whether or not this was the truth, as there were no signs left for him to follow in regard to what had happened to the massive demonic cultivator corpse that the winged lion demon beast had taken a few bites out of.

The only thing he could do for now was find a place to sit down before closely examining the traces that had been left behind in an attempt to determine the strength of the demonic cultivator who had died.

Luckily, this was not that difficult for him to do, as he discovered that the power left behind by the demonic cultivator hadn't degraded in the slightest bit. Allowing him to determine the strength of the demonic cultivator.

The problem was… The strength of the demonic cultivator who had ended up falling was definitely above the Demon Lord Realm. Reaching the Demon King Realm, something he could tell with relative ease given his familiarity with Xuan Gui at the Peak of the Demon Lord Realm and his previous encounter with a Celestial Immortal Realm Ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire. Not to mention the fight between Celestial Immortals and Demon Kings he had witnessed at the border of the Frozen Wasteland.

Knowing this, Xuan Hao felt uneasy for a very obvious reason, as he began wondering what in the world had happened for a dead Demon King Realm demonic cultivator to suddenly end up inside the territory of the Star Shattering Sect. Especially because the war between the cultivators in the core region of the continent and the demonic cultivators didn't seem to have escalated to the extent where the Demon Kings and Celestial Immortals fought to the death like this.

Even more troubling was the fact that the body had ended up inside the territory of the Star Shattering Sect. Indicating that the battle where this demonic cultivator had ended up dying had taken place not far away from the Star Shattering Sect, yet, he had not sensed anything.

A Demon King Realm demonic cultivator died without me noticing anything and the one who did it was preoccupied by something and didn't immediately take away the body… And I didn't notice whatever is preoccupying the killer of this demonic cultivator either…

Lost in thought as he thought about this, Xuan Hao could not help frowning to himself as he felt that the current situation was far from normal. Difficult to understand, as he should have at least sensed something with his current strength. Even more so considering that his high comprehension of the Dao of Space made him far more sensitive to any changes in the space around him. Making him better at sensing a higher level battle that would inevitably affect the stability of space than even someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm.

"Unless… There is some kind of spatial anomaly of sorts around this place that spit out the dead body before swallowing it up again during the short period of time between the little lion taking a bite out of it and going crazy and now…" Muttering this to himself as he stared towards the indent that had been created in the ground by the body of the demonic cultivator that had now vanished without a trace, Xuan Hao couldn't think of anything other than some kind of spatial anomaly to explain what had happened.

Even if there was a chance of an extremely powerful cultivator far beyond anything he had encountered so far taking action to kill this demonic cultivator at the Demon King Realm, he doubted that would be the case, as there would have been no reason for such an existence to leave the body behind for no reason.

No to mention, the winged lion demon beast had clearly eaten some of it. Lowering the overall value of the body itself.

If a powerful cultivator had indeed killed off the demonic cultivator, Xuan Hao felt that there would be little to no reason for such an existence to simply ignore the winged lion demon beast going on a rampage.

Even if it wasn't out of goodwill, they would at least want to get back what had essentially been stolen from them by the winged lion demon beast who carelessly ate part of the dead demonic cultivator without a second thought.

But… If it's a spatial anomaly, what kind of spatial anomaly is it? Is it related to an ancient secret realm or a mystic realm? Perhaps another ancient battlefield? For me to not have sensed it, it should contain principles far beyond what I understand…

Thinking this to himself as he focused his eyes on the location where the dead body of the demonic cultivator should have been, Xuan Hao could not help himself feeling a bit excited at the prospect of encountering a spatial anomaly beyond his understanding.

After all, he could tell that the anomaly was limited to a relatively small area and shouldn't prove too dangerous, while at the same time also understanding that if there was indeed such a spatial anomaly, it contained principles of the Dao of Space far beyond his current realm of understanding.

No matter what, if he could observe such a spatial anomaly, it would certainly prove fruitful for his own comprehension of the Dao of Space. Possibly even giving him a glimpse of the realm beyond the Large Success Realm.

The only problem being that he had no idea when this spatial anomaly would occur, as it could happen in a few seconds or in another thousand years.

Although he did really want to find an opportunity to observe what he now full believed to be some kind of spatial anomaly, he also understood that he couldn't waste his time sitting around for hundreds of years for something that he wasn't even sure would happen.

"To stay or not…" Muttering this to himself as he thought about the pros and cons of staying around, Xuan Hao ultimately decided to remain at the location where the dead body of the demonic cultivator had disappeared for a few weeks to watch out for the spatial anomaly.

At the same time also standing in for the winged lion demon beast who returned to the sect to recover and consolidate its cultivation base the Second Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm.

After all, the current Star Shattering Sect didn't have a lot of Soul Ascension Realm cultivators at the moment, with rabbit demon beast currently guarding the Iron Sky Kingdom, Yi Min busy helping the blacksmiths of the sect and Pei Yang assisting the sect's alchemists for the upcoming competition.

For the first time in a long time, Xuan Hao officially took on a responsibility inside the sect that he wouldn't normally take on. Guarding the sect's border from any demonic cultivators in the True Demon Realm, a far more peaceful experience than he had first expected when he decided to do this, as the True Demon Realm demonic cultivator didn't take long to realize that some kind of terrifying cultivator was currently present at the border of the Star Shattering Sect.

In turn, it also caused the number of demonic cultivators attacking the Star Shattering Sect to drastically decrease compared to before.

Although this would have been something good in normal circumstances and for any other empire or kingdom bordering the Frozen Wasteland, it was devasting to the Star Shattering Sect, who at this point primarily relied on the demonic cultivators for combat training of the younger generation.

As a result, it didn't take long before Elder Song and Feng Chen heard about this and were forced to take action to ensure that a steady stream of demonic cultivators would flow towards the Star Shattering Sect. In the end causing them to contact Xuan Hao about the problem to try and convince him to leave the border of the sect as fast as possible so as to not scare off the demonic cultivators…
