Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Thinking about how he might have the strength to contend with someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm, Xuan Hao quickly shook his head as he remembered the encounter between the Celestial Immortal Realm Ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire and the Demon King Realm demonic cultivators from the Frozen Wasteland. Especially when recalling the terrifying attack that had collided with the chaotic qi formation.

Although his strength had improved compared to before, he still felt helpless when it came to facing such a powerful attack without the assistance of the chaotic qi formation.

The main difference compared to before being that he now felt confident in at least being able to keep himself alive if he got hit by such a powerful attack.

Contending with someone capable of launching such powerful attacks was simply wishful thinking on his part, as he understood that he was still far away from fighting equally against someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm.

Of course, there was clearly also differences between those in the Celestial Immortal Realm and the Demon King Realm, as the people he had sensed fighting outside the Onyx Empire that was barely standing at this point in time, were obviously far weaker than the one who had been behind the terrifying attack that had ended up being blocked by the chaotic qi formation.

Faced with them, Xuan Hao at least felt some confidence in being able to fight back against them without having to immediately turn to using his Dao of Space to escape.

But then again, this was all just his own thoughts, and he would never truly know how well he would fare against someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm without first facing someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm.

Unfortunately, he didn't really know anyone in the Celestial Immortal Realm that he could ask for help in this regard.

His strongest friend being Pei Yang, who was still quite far off breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm.

The only person outside of Pei Yang he could think about as a potential opponent to test out his new strength was Gong Cheng from the Blue Shore Kingdom who had managed to break through to the Saint Realm.

Although, after his recent revelations on the Saint Realm and how it was divided up, he understood that Gong Cheng should have only reached the Third heaven of the Saint Realm that would make his strength comparable to someone at the Middle Stage of the Dao Seed Realm.

Even if this still made him one of the strongest people below the Celestial immortal Realm on the Ewaria Continent, it was still far from the Celestial Immortal Realm.

For Gong Cheng to reach a level comparable to the Celestial Immortal Realm, he would first need to reach the First Heaven of the Saint Realm, something that he doubted the old man had managed to reach in such a short period of time.

But…

Thinking about Gong Cheng, Xuan Hao could not help wondering how he might be faring with the recent actions of the Frozen Wasteland and the demonic cultivators.

Even though he doubted that the demonic cultivators would bother turning towards the resource deprived wasteland that was the outer edges of the continent, it wasn't out of the question for a few of the weaker demonic cultivators to turn their attention towards that place when they became desperate enough… And if they ended up causing enough chaos to warrant Gong Cheng or his people to interfere, it might result in the Blue Shore Kingdom getting noticed and targeted by more powerful demonic cultivators.

No matter how strong Gong Cheng had become after he broke through to the Saint Realm, Xuan Hao doubted that he had managed to grow strong enough to resist the combined might of a group of Demon King Realm demonic cultivators.

If not for the fact that he felt that it would be difficult for him to move more than a few people with his long-distance teleportation and feared that he might be noticed by the more powerful demonic cultivators lurking in the depths of the Frozen Wasteland, he might have already gone to the Blue Shore Kingdom to try and convince him to join the Star Shattering Sect.

For now, the best he could do was establish a line of communication between the Blue Shore Kingdom and the Star Shattering Sect in case something ended up happening.

More specifically, Xuan Hao just wanted some kind of excuse to test out the limitations of his long-distance teleportation before he would have to help Xuan Gui get into the Blue Sea Empire.

After all, it would be rather awkward if he stepped up to help and ended up miscalculating how far he could go, causing them to end up alerting the Blue Sea Empire and possible one of the Celestial Immortal Realm Ancestors who should be on high alert around the borders of the empire at the moment.

Shaking his head as he thought about this worst-case scenario, Xuan Hao stood back up after the situation inside his dantian had calmed down before closing both of his eyes to focus.

Different from normal short distance teleportation that was generally used in movement techniques like the drifting cloud steps, long-distance teleportation was not something that could be used in an instant and took time to use, as he would have to carefully lock on to the spatial coordinates of the location where he wanted to go, while at the same time calculating a route that wouldn't end up with him accidentally running into some kind of spatial anomaly.

Finally, he had to create a stable spatial passage to the location he wanted to go to, something that would be a far more exhausting endeavor compared to using two already connected teleportation formations to travel through a spatial passage that had already been created and stabilized during the creation of the teleportation formation.

Doing all of this, even with his comprehension reaching the Large Success Realm in the Dao of Space and his strength comparable to the Late Stage of the Dao Seed Realm, took over five minutes.

Though not a long time all things considered, it was far too long to be viable in combat… And there was also the fact that it was easy to interrupt the process, as a completely stable spatial environment was required for the long-distance teleportation.

"At the very least, I hope it gets me past the Frozen Wasteland…" Muttering this to himself as everything had been finished, Xuan Hao took a step forward and disappeared from his room. Trying to use long-distance teleportation for the first time in an attempt to jump over the Frozen Wasteland and see if he could avoid detection.

Even if he did fear detection by the stronger existences in the depths of the Frozen Wasteland, he didn't feel like a single passage through the Frozen Wasteland would be enough to draw their attention. Especially considering the war they were currently waging with the empires and kingdoms bordering the Frozen Wasteland and the fact that the endpoint of the spatial passage wasn't anywhere inside the Frozen Wasteland itself.

In the end, Xuan Hao carefully felt the space around him twisting while trying to sense if anyone noticed him during the short time he would be inside the space of the Frozen Wasteland.

Luckily, he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary during the little over a second, he spent crossing the Frozen Wasteland to reach the outer edge of the continent.

Well, he did sense something… And that was the unimaginable exhaustion that came from using the long-distance teleportation. Forcing him to forcibly stop before he could reach the Blue Shore Kingdom.

But… Stopping before reaching the intended location wasn't that simple of an affair, as Xuan Hao's only real solution was to manipulate the space around him to break apart. In turn forcing him out of the spatial passage he had created in the process.

As a result of this, Xuan Hao suddenly found himself falling from the sky in an unknown location at the outer edges of the continent-

Bang-!

Unable to stop himself just after leaving the spatial passage, as he directly crashed into a nearby mountain range before he could regain control-

RUUUMBLE-!

Causing the mountain, he ended up hitting to crumble from the impact. Killing any animal or human who might have been unfortunate enough to have been at the mountain when he crashed into it…

"Good thing I decided to test out the long-distance teleportation before actually using it to try and help Xuan Gui…" Inside the rubble of the mountain that had essentially collapse on top of him, Xuan Hao quietly muttered this to himself with a sense of relief on his face. Completely unaffected by the situation outside of the dust that now covered his body.

The mountain collapsing on top of him unable to elicit even the smallest hint of worry from him, as he pondered about what had just happened when he had been using the long-distance teleportation and what had gone wrong.
