"Huh? Ah, it's nothing, I was just thinking about how much you two managed to improve over the past two years." Hearing Qing Yi suddenly calling out to him with a worried expression on her face, Xuan Hao quickly reassured her as turned his attention away from the emergency quest and back towards his disciples.
Even though he only had three months to somehow reach the Pseudo Saint Realm in blacksmithing, he at least wanted to check up on his disciples before starting to worry about it.
At least Qing Yi and Mui didn't realize anything had happened as both of them just smiled happily after being praised before Xuan Hao checked their cultivation more in depth by examining their dantian and guided them on where they were lacking and could improve before trying to further increase their strength. Boom-!
In the end, Qing Yi managed to successfully cross the small gap between the Fifth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm and the Sixth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Officially breaking through to the Sixth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm with his help and reaching the final minor realm before what could be considered the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
""Master!""
At the same time Qing Yi returned to her room to stabilize her cultivation base after having broken through to the Sixth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, Chu Yang and Bai Ning arrived at the entrance to the palace after having learnt about his return to the sect from a few of the elders who had seen him together with Pei Yang earlier in the day.
Huh? This is...
Upon seeing the two walking over, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a profound sense of shock.
Even from a distance it was clear that Chu Yang had already managed to enter the later stages of the Nascent Soul Realm over the past two years. Having successfully managed to break through to the Eighth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Surpassing many of the sect's elders in the process. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
However, the most shocking thing was not how much Chu Yang's strength had increased over the past two years, but the fact that Bai Ning standing beside him had already managed to form a pseudo domain!
Although it was only a pseudo domain and felt different from any domain he had encountered so far, it was still a domain, what's more, the domain itself clearly felt different from any domain he had encountered so far. The normal feeling of power that would come along with a domain was not present and instead, a sensation similar to standing in the middle of a forge engulfed him as he used his divine sense to examine the domain.
This is... a pseudo domain for the Dao of Blacksmithing!?
Even without him saying anything, it was easy to guess that Chu Yang wanted to fight him and test out his new strength, likely due to the fact that the number of elders who could train with him at this point in time was close to nonexistent and the ones who could were too busy with keeping the sect running most of the time.
Whoosh-!
Whoosh-!
Not a second later, the master and disciple both left in the direction of the Combat Hall.
...
"That brat really did improve quite a bit; his current strength is already enough to be considered invincible in the Nascent Soul Realm. Now all he needs to do is establish a domain and breakthrough to the Domain Lord Realm..."
After spending an entire day inside the Combat Hall together with Chu Yang, giving him a chance to use all of his combat techniques and helping him improve in the process, Xuan Hao could not help sighing with amazement as he watched Chu Yang in deep meditation digesting what he had learnt.
"Now... It's time for me to find out a way for me to reach the Pseudo Saint Realm in Blacksmithing within the next three months..." Turning his attention away from Chu Yang and leaving him alone to meditate, Xuan Hao frowned slightly as he made his way out of Chu Yang's room and into a small garden located in between the training ground and the palace.
So far, from what he knew about the realms of professions, the only way to reach the Master Realm and improve beyond it was to comprehend the dao of the profession.
If this was not possible it would be impossible to reach the Master Realm, let alone reach the Pseudo Saint Realm.
Given his current realm in blacksmithing only being at the Master Realm, he really had no idea how he would cross over the Master Realm and then the Grandmaster Realm after that before reaching the Pseudo Saint Realm in three months.
Even if he had the help of the system, he doubted that he would be able to comprehend the Dao of Blacksmithing to whatever level was needed for him to reach the Pseudo Saint Realm.
"Maybe I should go and ask Pei Yang, considering his experience, he might have a better idea about the Pseudo Saint Realm and how to reach it..." Muttering this to himself as he felt the difficulty of the task in front of him, Xuan Hao didn't stand around the small garden for long, as he soon jumped into the air and made his way to where Pei Yang was staying.
