Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1936  Ascension Realm Tower, Twenty-Sixth Floor (30)

Making his way up the spiral staircase to the twenty-sixth floor, the first thing he realized wasn't anything related to the twenty-sixth floor, but instead the fact that the distance he needed to travel to reach the twenty-sixth floor had widened more than ten times compared to the twenty-fifth floor, a distance change that undoubtedly signified a certain difficulty increase from what little he had managed to put together about the vast distances one needed to traverse between the different floors of the tower.

Of course, though the distance was challenging to traverse in a few days even for someone in the Sea Formation Realm, it wasn't much of a challenge to someone who had comprehended the Dao of Space, as he managed to reach the twenty-sixth floor after only a little over ten minutes.

The floor itself was far more interesting when compared to the previous twenty-fifth floor, as different from the desolate desert, what met him on the twenty-sixth floor was a large forest that stretched as far as he could see.

But outside of the forest that seemed to dominate the twenty-sixth floor, Xuan Hao found his attention being pulled towards the virtual panel that had appeared in front of him more so than the tall trees near the spiral staircase.

[Current Floor: 26]

[Task: Kill 3 Celestial Lord Realm Demon Beasts]

[Progress: 0/3]

[Reward: 2.500.000 Ascension Coin, the passage to the twenty-seventh floor reveals itself]

And reading through the task that had been assigned to him, it wasn't difficult for him to understand that it would likely not be possible for him to clear the twenty-sixth floor of the tower with his current strength.

After all, though he knew little about the Celestial Lord Realm that came after the Celestial Immortal Realm, one thing he did know was that the Celestial Lord Realm was comparable to the Land Creation Realm. Meaning that the strength of the demon beasts and other creatures on the twenty-sixth floor of the tower had indeed reached the Land Creation Realm in terms of strength like he had expected.

Not just that, but from how the task didn't specify he had to kill demon beasts at the Early Stage of the Celestial Lord Realm, he had a feeling that the strength of the demon beasts and other creatures on the twenty-sixth floor of the tower wasn't just limited to the early stage of the realm.

Keeping in mind what he had encountered in the past, it was very likely that there were demon beasts beyond the early stage of the realm hidden inside the forest.

With all that in mind, after another quick glance at the surrounding trees, Xuan Hao turned around and left the twenty-sixth floor of the tower. Not planning to try clearing the twenty-sixth floor of the tower for now, as he was almost certain that he wouldn't be able to gain much from rushing into the forest and dying to a Celestial Lord Realm demon beast- or at least he wouldn't gain much from it for now, as he had not yet fully digested what he had learnt from his battle with the withering tree.

…

Arriving back down on the ground floor of the ascension realm tower again, the first thing he noticed from a quick look around the place was that the number of people present on the ground floor had decreased a lot compared to back when he had first taken a short break to check out the shop on the ground floor.

Although part of this had to do with the tenth floor of the tower becoming a popular gathering place for the sect elders who had managed to reach the tenth floor, it undoubtedly also had to with the younger disciples having mostly used up their free chances to enter the ascension realm tower and wouldn't recklessly enter it without any preparation like they had done in the past.

Of course, this was not to say that the place was empty, as it was still bustling with activity, it was just that he would no longer have to squeeze his way through a crowd of younger disciples to enter the shop section of the ground floor.

Something he took full advantage of, as he soon enough found himself in front of the ascension secret realm that he now had more than enough ascension coins to afford. Wasting no time as he directly bought it before watching it disappear from the shop, as it had seemingly been some kind of unique item that could only be bought once.

"Look! Something new appeared in reception area!"

"Ah? A gate? Isn't this one of those gates normally used for secret realms?"

"Perhaps a new place to go outside of that damnable field filled with demon beasts… I really could use somewhere different for a change…"

"Hehe, who knows? Maybe this place will lead to somewhere far deadlier than the first floor of the tower, though, being stuck on the first floor, I think it might be better to give up on the ascension realm tower for now and instead focus on improving your cultivation."

But before he even had the chance to investigate where the ascension secret realm had disappeared to, he heard a sudden clamor from just outside the shopping section. Making it rather obvious where the ascension secret realm had gone, as he stepped out to see that a brand-new door standing more than five meters tall and three meters wide had appeared next to the spiral staircase.

Not too surprisingly, there was already a large crowd of disciples gathered around the door that had seemingly appeared out of thin air in the eyes of these disciples, a few of them were even trying to push it open but found themselves unable to push it open.

From a glance, Xuan Hao understood why these disciples were unable to push open the door, as there was some restriction in place that would only allow someone at the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm or above to enter. Even if the door was open, the restriction would prevent these disciples from entering.
