Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Outside of the chaos that was taking place inside the territory of the Star Shattering Sect, the rest of the powers surrounding the Onyx Empire managed to deal with the situation without a lot of problems. The only power that experienced a worse situation than the Star Shattering Sect being the empire that bordered both the Onyx Empire and the Frozen Wasteland.

In the end, this empire was forced to deal with an influx of demonic cultivators from two different directions at the same time.

If not for the timely arrival of cultivators from the Blue Sea Empire, it wouldn't have been out of the question for this empire to end up in a similar state as the Onyx Empire.

At the same time, the first existence in the Dao Seed Realm also appeared a few days after the fall of the Star Shattering Sect branch.

Following this, it didn't take long before the demonic cultivators in the True Demon Realm to get killed, as the demonic cultivators still left inside of the Onyx Empire began fleeing back in the direction of the Frozen Wasteland.

As a result, the number of demonic cultivators trying to enter the Star Shattering Sect's territory began to significantly decrease, as most of the powerful demonic cultivators who learnt about the appearance of the Dao Seed Realm cultivator from the Blue Sea Empire all began to flee back in the direction of the Frozen Wasteland.

In turn, the weaker demonic cultivators became rather easy to deal with as the Domain Lord Realm cultivators of the sect were freed up to help deal with the weaker demonic cultivators trying to rush into the sect's territory.

By the time that the first few people from the Blue Sea Empire appeared to lend a hand in dealing with the demonic cultivators, the situation was already under control. Resulting in them leaving to help out in places where they were more needed.

Of course, this didn't mean that the Star Shattering Sect was completely out of danger, as the people from the Blue Sea Empire would undoubtedly return to survey the situation after the demonic cultivators were fought back.

Not just to ensure that the demonic cultivators had been dealt with, but likely also to get an idea about the current strength of the different forces that were in a sense under their protection.

When that time came, it would be the time for the Star Shattering Sect to endure the scrutiny of the Blue Sea Empire.

Although it might only be someone in the Soul Ascension Realm coming to do this, it was still something that was of upmost importance.

First of all, Pei Yang's existence had to remain hidden as he was still a wanted figure in the eyes of the Blue Sea Empire.

Secondly, the Shattered Star Peaks couldn't be fully exposed to the people from the Blue Sea Empire, as the place would undoubtedly end up being coveted by the Blue Sea Empire. After all, the dense qi of the place and spiritual herb garden on the Ninth Star Peak was more than enough to make even a Dao Seed Realm cultivator greedy.

At the very least, when it came to this kind of thing, Feng Chen had already managed to come up with a way to fool the people from the Blue Sea Empire by utilizing the chaotic qi formation to limit the spiritual qi present on the Shattered Star Peaks in case someone from the Blue Sea Empire wanted to see the sect. Also using the chaotic qi formation to hide anything that the Blue Sea Empire shouldn't see.

Of course, this would only work if the other party was in the Soul Ascension Realm.

If the other party was in the Dao Seed Realm, it could still work, but it would depend on the strength of the Dao Seed Realm cultivator and how suspicious he was of the Star Shattering Sect.

Someone above the Dao Seed Realm wanting to check out the Shattered Star Peaks would make it impossible for him to hide anything with the help of the chaotic qi formation.

Well… He should be able to hide things, but it would just be instantly picked up by the other party…

However, just as Feng Chen returned back to the sect and began to prepare for having to endure the scrutiny of someone from the Blue Sea Empire who might show up at any moment after the demonic cultivators were pushed back to the Frozen Wasteland. News came that the Dao Seed- Earth Immortal from the Blue Sea Empire had been unsuccessful in pushing back the demonic cultivators to the Frozen Wasteland.

Not just that, but he had been ambushed by a group of powerful demonic cultivators in the Demon Lord Realm. Equivalent in strength to someone in the Dao Seed Realm.

As a result of this unexpected ambush, the Dao Seed Realm cultivator from the Blue Sea Empire had ended up dying at the outer regions of the Onyx Empire close to the borders of the Frozen Wasteland.

In turn, the demonic cultivators that had been escaping back towards the Frozen Wasteland had regained their spirits and once again began swarming back into the Onyx Empire and out towards the surrounding powers bordering the Onyx Empire.

Although these demonic cultivators had not yet reached the borders of the Star Shattering Sect and resumed their earlier attack, Feng Chen didn't dare waste a single second as he left the sect and rushed back towards the borders to help out with holding back the demonic cultivators. Understanding that there was little chance of the Blue Sea Empire showing up to survey the territory of the Star Shattering Sect now that they had lost someone at the Dao Seed Realm.

Instead, it looked like the battle with the demonic cultivators was about to take a turn, as demonic cultivators at the Demon Lord Realm were now involved.

Even if he had no idea about the situation outside of the few smaller empires located around the Star Shattering, Feng Chen had a feeling that this was only the prelude to what was about to come.

At the very least, he felt somewhat reassured knowing that Pei Yang was there to help protect the sect in case a demonic cultivator at the Demon Lord Realm appeared. Bringing some semblance of safety to the chaotic time.

Of course, Feng Chen was completely unaware that the Demon Lord Realm demonic cultivators wouldn't be targeting the Star Shattering Sect's territory in the first place and would instead be actively trying to avoid it due to Xuan Hao's friendship with Xuan Gui, who didn't go back on her word and specifically ensured that there wouldn't be any Demon Lord Realm demonic cultivators attacking the Star Shattering Sect.

…

At the same time that Feng Chen hurried back to the border between his sect and the Onyx Empire, the ancestors of the Blue Sea Empire had gathered together at the core of the Blue Sea Empire's capital city to discuss the current state of things.

"In just a few hours, we ended up losing more than three earth immortals dispatched to suppress the demonic cultivators of the Frozen Wasteland and force them back. No matter how you look at this, it's obvious that those demonic cultivators are planning on attacking us for real this time around!"

"Indeed, outside of us, the others also faced similar losses. Even those monks in the west who normally don't interfere also ended up losing one of their senior monks close to archiving enlightenment."

"A monk close to archiving enlightenment… So, someone close to reaching the Celestial Immortal Realm? Looks like they suffered quite a bit…"

As the ancestors discussed, it was quickly revealed that outside of the Dao Seed Realm cultivator that ended up falling in the Onyx Empire, another two Dao Seed Realm cultivators had also ended up dying. Putting the total loss of Dao Seed Realm cultivators at three.

Although not enough to cause any real damage to a massive power like the Blue Sea Empire, it was still something that could be felt and caught the ire of these ancestors above the Dao Seed Realm.

"Those damnable demonic cultivators! I will go and teach them a lesson, or they might think that they can get away with blatantly killing our people!"

In the end, one of the ancestors didn't wait for the rest to finish discussing as he stood up before leaving in the direction of the Frozen Wasteland filled with killing intent.

"This… Is it okay for him to leave like this? We still don't know what those demonic cultivators are planning."

Seeing this, one of the ancestors could not help voicing his concern, as it was rather obvious that the demonic cultivators were plotting something that didn't just involve the few Demon Lords that had shown up so far. Especially considering that the attacks were happening across all demonic cultivator-controlled areas. Not just the Frozen Wasteland.

"Don't bother, one of the people who died was his grandson."

"This… Hah… I understand…"
