Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 191: Sky Empire Blocks the Entrance of the Secret Realm

"So… What did I say? Still want to try another of those maps you bought earlier?!" Looking over at her companion with a mocking smile on her lips, the female of the duo snickered as she asked.

"I-I'm sure its just a mistake… This time for sure! As people say, third time's the charm!" Not willing to give up, the male took out yet another map as he prepared to enter the Nascent Soul Realm area once again.

"Enough! We can't continue visiting those wolves and that map is the exact same as the first one!" Stopping him before he made his way back over the border, the female signalled for him to look at the map more closely.

The male companion stopped in place as he took out the first map and compared it with the third map.

"I-it's the same!? W-what about the rest of the maps…?" Screaming out in surprise like he had gotten the shock of his life, he hurriedly took out the rest of the maps he bought and compared them with each other. Only to end up disappointed.

All of the maps led towards the same cave with a pack of Nascent Soul Realm wolves living in it…

"H-how could they scam me like this!? I-I swear I will get my revenge when I find them again!" Angrily proclaiming this, he proceeded to throw all of the maps away and begin sulking as he thought about the large amount of spirit stones that he wasted on those maps…

Rolling her eyes at her companion's childish display, she walked over beside him and asked, "So can we go explore the place I want to. Seeing as we are finished with your treasure maps…?"

"Hah… Fine, but we have to find those people when we leave the secret realm!" Agreeing to follow her lead, the male companion quickly calmed down and thought about how to deal with those people who scammed them after they made their way back out of the secret realm.

"Sure~" Not wanting to continue this anymore, the female agreed. Not wanting to talk about how the Sky Empires people had most likely already chased away those people and their chances of finding them once again being reduced to close to nothing…

Satisfied with his female companion's response, the male of the two happily followed as the two of them once again entered the Nascent Soul Realm area.

This time moving in a direction far away from a certain cave filled with wolves…

…

A day passed as Xuan Hao had decided to slow down a bit while making his way back towards the entrance of the secret realm.

The reason for this was not that he did not want to leave faster or anything along that line.

Instead, it was because he had managed to spot a group of Nascent Soul Realm Experts earlier and had overheard them talking about the Sky Empire already arriving and blocking the entrance to the secret realm off.

Searching anyone leaving the secret realm and Xuan Hao knew that he would most likely end up being stuck in the secret realm for a while longer before other people showed up and allowed people like himself a chance to escape without getting all the thing on him robbed clean by the Sky Empire…

Because of this, Xuan Hao had decided to spend some more time in the Nascent Soul Realm area and decided to explore it more in depth as he slowed down and looked out for new ruins or precious spiritual herbs while flying above the ancient forest.

Other than the group Xuan Hao had overheard earlier in the day, there was also other groups of cultivators present in the Nascent Soul Realm area trying to find ruins or treasures just like himself!

"But how come they did not get killed off by that Half-Step Domain Lord Realm wolf at the border?" Thinking about this, Xuan Hao felt a bit confused. The demon wolf should still be fine and these people at the earlier and middle stages of the Nascent Soul Realm running around should not have the strength to deal with the wolf and its pack…

Maybe something changed and the wolf decided to move its pack away from the border deeper into the ancient forest?

Xuan Hao had no clue what happened to the strong wolf demon beast and its pack, so he decided to ignore it for now.

After all, with his current strength, he would be fine even if he encountered the wolf and its pack…

"Hm? Maybe the people from the Sky Empire started entering the secret realm already and dealt with it?" Thinking a bit deeper about it, Xuan Hao realized that the Sky Empire would most likely have people at the Domain Lord Realm present.

Dealing with a small demon beast half a step into the Domain Lord Realm, should be relatively easy for someone like that.

Xuan Hao immediately began to feel the danger, as encountering a Domain Lord at his current state was not really something that he wanted to happen.

"I should land on the ground and walk the rest of the way… If a Domain Lord spots me flying around, I will definitely get stopped by them…" Thinking about this, Xuan Hao quickly began descending towards the ancient forest below him as he put his sword away and began walking in the direction of the border.

"Well… At least I should be able to more easily find any ruins hidden beneath the ancient trees this way…" Xuan Hao did not feel that this was a problem and even felt like travelling on the ground was a good change of pace from all that flying earlier.

"Hm… I wonder what other powers will show up at the secret realm… I don't really know that many empires or powerful organizations outside of the Sky Empire and the Explorer Union…" Thinking about this, Xuan Hao began looking forward to the inevitable clash between these great powers outside of the secret realm.
