Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

"Good, then let's get going immediately." Hearing that she was ready to leave, Xuan Hao didn't waste any time lingering around the Frozen Wasteland, as he directly grabbed her and used the long-distance teleportation to leave. Understanding that staying for too long inside the Frozen Wasteland could potentially result in him running into a Demon King Realm demonic cultivator.

Even if the chance of something like that happening wasn't big considering that most of the Demon King Realm demonic cultivators were focused in other areas of the Frozen Wasteland, one never knew if they had secretly mobilized one to keep an eye of the Star Shattering Sect. After all, the Star Shattering Sect was a hidden ancient sect in the eyes of the rest of the world and warranted some degree of cation even from a massive power like the demonic cultivators of the Frozen Wastelands. Especially considering their leaders past experience with an ancient hidden sect.

Although, this past experience did at least make it highly unlikely for the demonic cultivators to willingly offend the Star Shattering Sect. Making it far more likely that they would just choose to ignore the sect even if all the territory surrounding the sect ended up being conquered by demonic cultivators. At least, it was less likely for demonic cultivators to attack the sect compared to that of the Blue Sea Empire.

Of course, it didn't mean that Xuan Hao planned on allying himself with the demonic cultivators, but instead just that he wouldn't directly act against them in the same way major powers like the Blue Sea Empire was doing…

Rumble~!

"Hm? She disappeared?" As Xuan Hao and Xuan Gui disappeared from the Frozen Wastelands, a towering figure soon appeared in the location that the two of them had been standing in only a few minutes earlier, a confused expression etched into the towering figures fierce profile.

"How did she manage to disappear so silently that even I couldn't notice her leaving? Did she perhaps already break through to the Demon King Realm and used some kind of mysterious technique to escape… But… Even if that was the case, she should at least have left behind some kind of trace for me to follow. Not like now where even someone like myself can't sense anything at all!"

As the towering figure was left in a state of confusion, he slowly lifted his hand as a terrifying power engulfed the surrounding area. However, even after this, nothing happened.

"How weird, she isn't hiding either," As the shock in the towering figures eyes deepened, he soon shook his head with regret. "If even I can't find her, she might not have been lying about being close to breaking through to the Demon King Realm. Maybe her disappearance is something she planned ahead of time. Knowing that his excellency wouldn't just allow another Demon King Realm demonic cultivator to appear inside his territory outside of his control..."

Knowing that it was useless for him to stay around any longer now that Xuan Gui had managed to sneak away, the towering figure slowly shattered the space in front of him before disappearing. Displaying a terrifying mastery over the Dao of Space that would have left even Xuan Hao shocked.

The main reason why the towering figure didn't discover the fact that Xuan Hao had used the Dao of Space earlier being because Xuan Hao had made sure to hide his tracks when leaving the Frozen Wasteland.

Of course, if the other party had appeared earlier, he wouldn't have been able to hide his tracks from someone that skilled in the Dao of Space. Luckily, the spatial environment of the Frozen Wastelands wasn't entirely stable so to speak and even a few spatial abnormalities could be considered normal and not worth investigating further.

Not to mention, the other party didn't believe that Xuan Gui had been using the Dao of Space to hide away but instead believed that she had used some kind of other method prepared well ahead of time.

Even if the difference between the two of them were still vast even if Xuan Gui had broken through to the Demon King Realm, the towering demonic cultivator also understood that it would be meaningless to chase after the Xuan Gui after she left the Frozen Wasteland. Understanding that the moment someone like himself left the Frozen Wasteland, he would attract the attention of countless Celestial Immortal Realm and Profound Immortal Realm cultivators at the core of the continent.

After all, similar to the difference between someone in the Early Stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm and the Late Stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm or the Sea Formation Realm of the Profound Immortal Realm, there existed differences between those in the Demon King Realm.

Though the battle between the demonic cultivators and the different major powers had escalated to the point where it now involved Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators, the battle was still limited to some extent, as only weaker Demon King Realm demonic cultivators and Early Stage Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators had taken part in the battle so far.

Only when the true upper echelons began to act could the war for supremacy over the continent be considered to have officially begun before that, it was mostly both sides testing each other and trying to potentially nurture more powerful cultivators who could be of help when the true battle officially began.

It was also because of this that the towering demonic cultivator didn't dare to leave the Frozen Wastelands to chase after Xuan Gui. Understanding that doing so might very well provoke an earlier start to the final battle, something he wanted to avoid considering that their preparations for taking on the different major powers at the core of the continent weren't ready yet, as they still needed to drag things out for longer. Harvest more qi and blood from the endless bloodshed spreading through the continent.

Though… There was no way those major powers had any idea about any idea about their plans or they would have long since banded together to launch an all-out attack…
