Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

ROAR-!

Forced to turn his attention away from the empty void after hearing a loud roar filled with killing intent directed towards him, Xuan Hao soon came face to face with a giant demon beast in the Sixth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm.

Different from the weaker Soul Ascension Realm demon beasts that had gathered around him so far, it could clearly see through the fact that his strength was not truly at the Sixth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm.

ROOOOAR!

However, before this demon beast had a chance to launch an attack towards him, an even more powerful roar echoed out across the small opening in the forest, as an even larger demon beasts appeared-

Rumble~!

Its presence alone instantly suppressing the demon beast at the Sixth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm. Making it clear that even if their cultivation realm was the same, it had far surpassed the level of an ordinary Sixth Tribulation Soul Ascension Realm demon beast and had already reached the absolute pinnacle of the Soul Ascension Realm. Only a single step away from surpassing it!

Bang! Bang!

Not even a few seconds, a massive turtle the size of a hill appeared not too far behind it, each of its step causing the earth beneath to tremble under its sheer weight. Signaling the appearance of another Peak Soul Ascension Realm demon beast!

This is bad… I have to get out of here before they start fighting and end up dragging me into it!

Understanding that his time for comprehending he Dao of Space was up, Xuan Hao didn't dare stay around for a second longer-

Swish-!

Deciding to leave before even more Peak Soul Ascension Realm demon beasts appeared, or worse, the two already present started fighting with each other.

Luckily for Xuan Hao, neither one of the two demon beasts cared about him. Instead, they remained focused on the empty void that would be their chance for breaking through their current realm. Not even wanting to waste a second fighting with Xuan Hao.

After all, even if his strength did not reach the Peak of the Soul Ascension Realm and was only comparable to the Fourth Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm, they still understood that dealing with him in a short time would not be easy. Not to mention, their opponent might take advantage of them while fighting to launch a sneak attack.

Because of the hesitation from both of the powerful demon beasts to make a move on him, Xuan Hao managed to slip past both of them without any issues before escaping in the opposite direction of the opening with the empty void inside of it.

Even if only two Peak Soul Ascension Realm demon beasts had shown up so far, he understood that more would be showing up before long… And at that point in time, a fight would almost certainly ensue.

For this reason, Xuan Hao wanted to get as far away from the empty void as possible. Maybe even using the opportunity while the powerful demon beasts of the forest were busy fighting with each other, to look for a way out of his current situation.

Hopefully now that his understanding of the Dao of Space had increased, he would have a far easier time looking for flaws in the formation and escaping when he found any.

But before that, I should probably look through the scroll from the stone pedestal…

Thinking this to himself as he got further and further away from the empty void where the powerful demon beasts of the forest were gathering, Xuan Hao took out the scroll with the words [Spatial Shift] written on top of them.

"Hm? This… What in the world!? Spatial Shift is actually a technique that allows long distance teleportation!?"

However, after reading the first few lines of the scroll, Xuan Hao froze in shock as he looked down at the scroll in his hands.

Long distance teleportation was something difficult to master and could only be learnt after reaching the Soul Ascension Realm. Although he had long since reached a sufficient cultivation realm after reaching the Dao Domain Lord Realm, he had not managed to get his hands on a long distance teleportation technique so far.

Even if the Star Shattering Sect had developed well over the past few years, it was still far from having the ability to get their hands on such a specialized teleportation technique only usable by those in the Soul Ascension Realm and above. The only people in the Sky Empire who had the ability to get their hands on techniques like that would be from the three religions, who were essentially acting as branches of much larger powers that existed in the core of the continent.

The imperial family might also have a technique like that, considering how powerful the old ancestor was.

As for the rest of the powers in the Sky Empire, none of them should have a long distance teleportation technique.

Thinking about this as he looked at the thin scroll in his hands, Xuan Hao could not help feeling excited. Not only would this scroll help him move around far more easily compared to before. Giving him the ability to reach the capital of the Sky Empire in only a fraction of the time he had used in the past, but it might also help him when it came to escaping his current situation.

Continuing to read through the scroll beneath the two large trees, Xuan Hao managed to gain a better understanding of the spatial shift technique that was recorded on the scroll.

The Spatial Shift technique was divided into five levels, each representing a higher degree of mastery over the Dao of Space.

The first level was a simple teleportation ability that allowed for short distance instant movement. The technique was not complicated and didn't require a lot. Making it possible for even people in the Nascent Soul Realm to comprehend and make use of it. Not too dissimilar from the earlier stages of his Drifting Cloud Steps.

The next level was a form of short distance teleportation. Looking more closely at the explanation of this level, Xuan Hao felt that his movement technique, Drifting Cloud Steps, should have reached this realm of short distance teleportation. Reading through, Xuan Hao even realized that it was far simpler than his Drifting Cloud Steps and should be rather easy for someone in the Domain Lord Realm to learn.

The third level of the technique was where long distance teleportation finally appeared. The first part of this level was about long distance teleportation and was not too hard to understand. Only becoming difficult towards the end where it began going into detail of how to traverse distances on the scale of several Sky Empires in an instant.

However, the most important part was that he should be able to escape from the formation he was currently trapped inside of if he learnt how to perform long distance teleportation. Even if he couldn't, he would at the very least have a far easier time finding a way out of the formation.

As for the fourth and fifth level of the technique… To be honest, Xuan Hao didn't want to think too much about it.

The fourth level was about something called a dimensional leap, that would give one the ability to teleport across dimensions and teleport to different realms. The best he could think of when reading through the incomprehensible description of the fourth level, was that the dimensional leap would give someone the ability to teleport to things like secret realms and mystic realms without the need of an entrance to said realm. Maybe even allowing one to teleport to the three other continents outside of the Ewaria Continent. No matter what it was, it was something far away from the current Xuan Hao.

Well at least it was still understandable to some degree, something that could be said about the fifth level…

To put it simple, would be an incomprehensible mess, the only thing he could make out from the description was the word space folding, as for the rest, it quickly turned into a blur that disappeared the moment he looked away from the scroll.

Not wanting to spend too long looking at the last two levels of the teleportation technique, Xuan Hao turned his attention back towards the first three levels. Even if the third level was still difficult for him to understand, it was not completely incomprehensible like the last two levels of the teleportation technique.

As for moving further away from the gathering of powerful demon beasts that was taking place not too far away from his current location…? Xuan Hao didn't think about any of this, as he completely absorbed himself into studying the complicated teleportation technique in front of him. Knowing that he might be able to escape from the formation after learning the long distance teleportation technique.

Soon the sound of space twisting and turning echoed out around him, as he began practicing the teleportation technique. Starting from the first level that only took him a few minutes to learn before moving on to the second…
