Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

"Hm?" Looking over the Flying Sword Sect with her divine sense, Shu Yao quickly discovered the low number of elders present inside of the sect.

The number of elders currently present inside of the sect was less than half compared to when she had last visited the sect and even more baffling was the fact that most of them were busy with either teaching the disciples or working in one of the profession halls inside the sect.

Remembering the relaxed elders, that she had seen walking around without doing much the last time she visited, Shu Yao could not help growing curious thinking about what had happened over the past few months that had caused such a change to take place.

"Maybe it has something to do with what that Elder Song has been up to..." Muttering this to herself as she remembered how some of the elders from the Spring Flower Sect had informed her about Elder Song from the Flying Sword Sect beginning to stabilize and build up the territory of the Flying Sword Sect.

Normally, doing something like that would be normal. Especially given how much the Flying Sword Sect had grown in strength over the past few months...

But looking the current state of the Flying Sword Sect herself, Shu Yao realized that the one known as Elder Song was far more effective than she had imagined when she had first heard about him from her own elders!

"Shu Yao, what do you think we should do regarding the Seven Fates Sect...?" Having thought through what Shu Yao had told him about the Sect Master of the Seven Fates Sect reaching the Domain Lord Realm, Feng Chen decided to ask Shu Yao.

After all, as someone who had lived next to the Seven Fates Sect for a long time and interacted with them a lot more than himself and the Flying Sword Sect, Feng Chen trusted that she would have a better understanding of them compared to himself.

"Hm? I think we should just ignore them and let them do their own thing. The Seven Fates Sect was never really that bad and given that we both have Domain Lords, I doubt the Sect Master of the Seven Fates Sect would try anything...

On the other hand, I think there is a high likelihood that they will move their sect into the Core Region of the Sky Empire in the future. From what I heard over the years, it seems like the Seven Fates Sect was originally a big sect in the Core Regions of the Continent, but they encountered some kind of disaster along the way and were forced to take refuge in the borders of the Sky Empire..."

"I see..." Letting out a sigh of relief upon hearing that the Seven Fates Sect would likely be leaving for the Core Regions of the Sky Empire in the future, Feng Chen glanced over towards Shu Yao, who was still lazily laying down on the couch without showing any sign of moving.

"Is there still something else?" Asking this with a curious expression on his face, Feng Chen watched Shu Yao slowly sit back up on the couch, as she looked back at him with a serious expression on her face.

"W-what is it...?" Feeling himself begin growing nervous upon witnessing the serious expression on her face, Feng Chen could not comprehend just what had caused such a serious expression. Even when she talked about the Sect Master of the Seven Fates Sect having reached the Domain Lord Realm, she was not that serious looking!

"Have you managed to find a new sect location yet?"

"Sorry?"

"Have you found a location where we can build the new sect for when we merge? After all, both our sects are way too small to hold both of our disciples and elders currently!"

Not too certain he heard correct the first time around, Feng Chen could not help but freeze up when he realized that Shu Yao really was asking about their future sect location! For them to merge together with the Spring Flower Sect into one sect, they would first of all have to at least have a sect that could house everyone!

And currently, neither of the two sects were big enough for that...

How did I forget about that!

Panicking a bit when he saw the serious look on Shu Yao's face clearly expecting an answer, Feng Chen began going over the different locations inside both their territories, but found no place that would be fitting for them to build up a new sect.

What about the Shattered Star Peaks? Xuan Hao went there to scout out the mountain as a potential place for the new sect, I never got to ask him if he found a way for us to deal with the chaotic qi there and move our sect to the Shattered Star Peaks.

Given how large the Nine Star Peaks is, there should be more than enough space for both my sect and the Spring Flower Sect to comfortably stay at a single Star Peak...

"Wait a minute! I will have to ask Elder Xuan about something, he was the one I send out to inspect places for us to build the new sect up, so he is more knowledgeable regarding possible future sect locations!" Throwing out this very clear excuse , Feng Chen hurriedly ran out of the room as he got his hand on a high-grade communication talisman located back in his pavilion before contacting Xuan Hao.

High-grade communication talismans were expensive and in the current Flying Sword Sect, the only people who had access to them were Feng Chen!

Xuan Hao had also been given one by him before leaving for the Iron Sky Kingdom. Just so he could contact him in case anything happened... Not that he would be able to get back in time given how far away the Iron Sky Kingdom was from the Flying Sword Sect...

...

"Hm?"

Back at the Alchemy Room, Xuan Hao was going over what he should teach Qing Yi next, when he suddenly felt the communication talisman given to him by Feng Chen a few days before he left light up. Showing that someone was trying to contact him and given the fact that he only really knew about Feng Chen having a high-grade communication talisman, Xuan Hao could easily guess who was trying to contact him... Now the question became why?

"Hello? Did some something happen...?" Not in the belief that the Flying Sword Sect was in any sort of dangerous situation due to the winged lion being present there, Xuan Hao was relatively calm when he picked up the communication talisman.

"Ah... Elder Xuan... The thing is-"

Listening to Feng Chen's explanation about why he had called him, along with the fact that both Shu Yao and the Sect Master of the Seven Fates Sect had reached the Domain Lord Realm, Xuan Hao understood why Feng Chen sounded a bit anxious when talking.

But he wants to know if it's possible for us to set one of the Star Peaks as our future sect location...

Thinking about the chaotic qi that covered the Shattered Star Peaks, Xuan Hao knew very well that it was not currently possible for them to move to one of the Nine Star Peaks. After all, currently, the only way he had to deal with the chaotic qi and allow such a thing to happen, was the Qi Gathering Formation...

But he was still not done collecting the required materials for it yet, he still needed to find a wind and metal natural treasure of at least Mystic Grade. Not to mention the Transcendent Grade Natural Treasure that would act as the core of the formation...

"When will the construction for the new sect begin?" Not outright denying the possibility, Xuan Hao instead decided to ask Feng Chen how long there would be until they began construction at the new sect location.

"Hm... From what Elder Song has been saying, one and a half year... Maybe two years." Not knowing why, he asked this, Feng Chen still answered the question truthfully.

"One and a half year or two years' time, I should be able to gather the things needed and set up the formation in that time...

Feng Chen, you can just tell Shu Yao that the new sect location will be one of the Star Peaks. Don't worry about the chaotic qi, I have a way to deal with it!" Muttering the first part to himself as he thought about it for a short moment, Xuan Hao soon nodded his head before informing Feng Chen that they would use on of the Star Peaks as their future sect location.

"Really!? That's great! I will inform Shu Yao about!" Feeling like he had been saved from having to deal with trying to ask Shu Yao for more time to find a future sect location, Feng Chen quickly ended the conversation before rushing back to inform Shu Yao about their future sect location.

"Hm?"

On the other side, Xuan Hao had just put away the communication talisman, when the system suddenly showed signs of life again!
