Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1: Xuan Hao

"Elder Xuan the entrance examination for the new outer disciples is about to begin, would you like to come join the other elders this time around?"

Within a quiet and majestic pavilion, Xuan Hao slowly opened his eyes as he looked in the direction the voice came.

"Sure, I'll be there in a moment."

After replying, Xuan Hao watched as the person standing in front of his pavilion quickly made his way down the peak it was situated on and soon disappeared into the distance.

"Earth, Ewaria…"

Xuan Hao let out a soft sigh when he thought about earth.

He was not from this world. He was originally from another world, to be more precise, Earth.

Transmigration. Something that he had only ever read about in fantasy novels and webnovels, happened to him.

He even had his own system. The system which resided in his sea of consciousness at the moment was the 'cheat' he got upon transmigrating here.

"Elder Xuan…"

Xuan Hao's sect was called the Flying Sword Sect. The Flying Sword Sect was located in the northern region of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom. Although it was not the strongest sect in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, it still had quiet some reputation and influence in the surrounding region.

Overlord of the Northern Region. That was what people normally referred to the Flying Sword Sect.

Even though it was considered the weakest of the four regions, it was still the fourth strongest sect in the Heavenly sky Kingdom.

Xuan Hao was one of the core elders of the Flying Sword Sect.

He was known as the youngest core elder in the recent history of the Flying Sword Sect. Having reached the Nascent Soul Realm at the young age of 21.

He was currently the fifth nascent soul elder of the Flying Sword Sect.

What was the Nascent Soul Realm?

At the moment, the Flying Sword Sect only had five people at the Nascent Soul Realm. The sect master, vice sect master and two other elders excluding him.

Xuan Hao felt a little bewildered when he found out his current status and it took him a few days to gather himself and recover from the shock of suddenly becoming strong enough to level an entire city with a wave of his hand.

Although most cultivation novels had people who reincarnated or transmigrated, most of them had to start from scratch and slowly climb their way up the pinnacle. Though there was still a few who started out way too strong...

He was at the Nascent Soul Realm, an elder of a large sect, and an expert ranked among the top five in the entire sect…

This was no ordinary starting point.

Of course, Xuan Hao did not expect that to happen.

The Nascent Soul Realm was an extremely powerful realm. In the entire Heavenly Sky Kingdom, he could be considered as one the strongest people. Even the supreme expert from the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, the ancestor of the imperial family, had only reached the peak of the ninth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Xuan Hao himself was a Stage one Nascent Soul Realm expert.

This strength, however, was only considered strong within the Heavenly Sky Kingdom. Outside of it, on the Ewaria continent, a kingdom like the Heavenly Sky Kingdom was common, you could not even count the exact number of these kingdoms, there were simply way too many of them out there!

The Ewaria continent was split into four different regions. The North, South, West and East Regions. Each Region had hundreds of empires and each empire had hundreds of kingdoms like the Heavenly Sky Kingdom under it. The Heavenly Sky Kingdom was located in the southern region of the Ewaria continent.

It was easy to imagine how large the Ewaria continent was. Let alone what lay beyond it.

On the Ewaria Continent, there was cultivation, and it was divided into Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation and Nascent Soul.

There were of course realms above Nascent Soul called the King Realm and the Emperor Realm. Each Realm was divided into nine stages also called the nine small realms.

Of course, those realms were not something Xuan Hao could touch at the moment.

Not to mention the Emperor Realm experts who were said to only appear in the stronger empires, Xuan Hao had never seen a King Realm expert before.

The strongest person in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom was after all still at the ninth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. The neighbouring kingdoms surrounding the Heavenly Sky Kingdom also did not have anyone who surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm

A King Realm expert was considered strong, even on the whole of the Ewaria continent. A true expert who could start a kingdom by themselves and reign as a king.

A person at the King Realm could easily destroy the entire Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

To many people, a King Realm expert was a mythical existence. Even with the thousands of years behind the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, it still never had anyone reach the King Realm yet. At most one at half-step King Realm. Maybe someone had a breakthrough, but never revealed it and just ended up leaving the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

Breaking through from the Nascent Soul realm and into the King Realm was terribly difficult.

Of course, that was for other people. To Xuan Hao, who wanted to reach the pinnacle, the King Realm was just considered the beginning. Even the Emperor Realm was within reach.

Smiling widely to himself, Xuan Hao entered his sea of consciousness and glanced at a panel of characters that had appeared there.

Name: Xuan Hao

Talent: ???

Realm: Nascent Soul Stage 1

Sect: Flying Sword Sect

Disciples: N/A

Main Quest: Any disciple reaches the Foundation Establishment realm.

Main Quest Reward: ???

Side Quest: Have a disciple with talent value of 10 or above.

Quest Reward: [Cultivation Increase of 1 small realm], [Comprehending Sword Intent]

The Rewards for the first main mission was mysterious and the second one was a side quest with generous rewards.

The cultivation increase was nice, but the great thing was the sword intent.

Sword intent was not some special move or anything like that but was rather a concept of sort.

Those who could comprehend sword intent were all geniuses who had taken the first step towards comprehending the Dao of the Sword.

Sword cultivators were extremely terrifying and could fight those several realms above themselves, that was how the Flying Sword Sect earned its place as the overlord of the northern region of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom in the first place.

Sword cultivators who comprehended sword intent were even more terrifying.

However, even though the rewards were tempting, he first had to complete the quests.

The first main quest required him to have a disciple reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, while the side quest required him to take in a disciple with talent a talent value of 10 or more.

Both quests wanted him to become a teacher and take in disciples.

"Haaah…"

Letting out a slightly exhausted sigh, Xuan Hao got up from his meditative position.

These two quests were the reason for him to join this years entrance examination for new outer disciples of the sect.

"I hope that the upcoming entrance examination has someone suitable, hopefully someone who is quiet and well mannered."

Xuan Hao honestly did not have much motivation when it came to teaching a bunch of young people. Even if he had the memory, fighting experience and feelings of the past Xuan Hao after merging together with him. Both of them, were quite lazy. One wanted to just quietly spent his days meditating and increase his cultivation, while the other spent most of his time sitting down with a good cup of tea, reading a good book.

He still wondered if he could be considered as the past Xuan Hao or a new Xuan Hao, as both of them had merged together during his transmigration.

Throwing those thoughts to the back of his mind for now, Xuan Hao made his way towards the entrance of the sect, where the examination for new outer disciple would be held.
