Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough-Chapter 1594: Expansion (1)

Back in the Star Shattering Sect, Xuan Hao could not help feeling surprised when he learnt about what had happened back in the Blue Sea Empire after he had left Xuan Gui on her own to exact her revenge against the Blue Sea Empire. Having never expected her to take down such an important location, costing the Blue Sea Empire countless precious cultivation resources, while at the same time slowing down the reinforcements that would have normally been dispatched to replace the exhausted soldiers fighting at the frontline against the demonic cultivators.

Overall, causing the Blue Sea Empire to lose a lot of ground against the demonic cultivators, as they were pushed back for two entire weeks before regaining stability and blocking any further advance. Unfortunately, it caused more than a dozen smaller kingdoms and even a smaller empire to fall in the process, as the demonic cultivators made full use of the opportunity that had been handed to them.

Luckily for the Star Shattering Sect, the kingdoms that had fallen wasn't anywhere near the Star Shattering Sect's territory, but instead rather far away from the sect, as it seemed like the demonic cultivators of the Frozen Wasteland were doing their best to not accidentally draw the Star Shattering Sect into their battle with the Blue Sea Empire.

Something that was understandable considering that it was more likely for an ancient hidden sect to take the side of the Blue Sea Empire over demonic cultivators, even if the Blue Sea Empire and the ancient hidden sect in question were at odds with each other.

After all, the two had not yet broken all ties with each other and started fighting to the death, they had only really engaged in blocking trade or travel for each other. Nothing major enough to make the demonic cultivators believe that the Star Shattering Sect would take their side in fighting the Blue Sea Empire.

On the other side of things, there was also a chance of the Star Shattering Sect taking either side, turning it into a three-way battle that would only be slightly better than the Star Shattering Sect teaming up with the Blue Sea Empire in the eyes of the demonic cultivators from the Frozen Wasteland.

In turn, because of this, while the battle between the demonic cultivators and the Blue Sea Empire didn't directly affect the Star Shattering Sect in any way, the demonic cultivators made sure to send over someone to manage the demonic cultivators that were attempting to breach the territory of the Star Shattering Sect.

Not stopping them so to speak, as that was pretty much impossible, but instead ensuring that there wasn't anyone in the Demon Lord Realm among the demonic cultivators attempting to attack the Star Shattering Sect's territory. Knowing that if someone at that level attacked the Star Shattering Sect, it would cause the strength of the cultivators sent out by the Star Shattering Sect to deal with demonic cultivators to increase, something that the demonic cultivators wanted to avoid.

Knowing about this and personally sensing a demonic cultivator in the Demon King Realm appearing around the borders of the sect's territory every now and then, Xuan Hao could no help breathing a sigh of relief as he kept an eye on the slowly expanding borders of the sect.

Although the sect had decided to not expand its territory in the past to avoid the attention of the Blue Sea Empire, by now, it didn't really matter as much. Not to mention, the territory that the sect was taking over now had already been abandoned by the Blue Sea Empire and been overrun by demonic cultivators.

Of course, outside of that, there was also the fact that the Blue Sea Empire was far too busy to even notice the smaller kingdoms around the Star Shattering Sect slowly being swallowed up, as the sect expanded its influence.

The main reason for this was that the areas where the sect was expanding were far outside the Northern Central Region and weren't considered important in the eyes of the Blue Sea Empire.

Even if the Star Shattering Sect took over the territories of a few smaller kingdoms, it didn't really matter to the Blue Sea Empire, as it wouldn't affect their control over the other smaller kingdoms and empires bordering them.

For this reason, as the war between the demonic cultivators of the Frozen Wasteland and the demonic cultivators grew increasingly intense, Xuan Hao was personally visited and recruited by Elder Song to aid in the expansion of the sect, using his skills in the Dao of Formations and the Dao of Space to draw up several new teleportation formations connecting the new territory of the sect to the old territory of the sect.

By the time that it had been a month since he had left Xuan Gui in the Blue Sea Empire to cause chaos, the territory of the Star Shattering Sect had more than doubled, as over a dozen smaller kingdoms bordering the sect's territory had been swallowed up. More than doubling the sect's overall territory in an extremely short period of time, something that had only been possible due to the different wandering cultivators that had been recruited as elders of the sect assisting in stabilizing the new territory of the sect.

After all, compared to someone in the Domain Lord Realm, someone in the Soul Ascension Realm could stabilize a far larger region. The main reason why the territory had not expanded any further was because they also needed to ensure their borders with the Frozen Wasteland remained stable… And considering that most of the new territory bordered the Frozen Wastelands, this wasn't easy to accomplish, as the main limiting factor for the sect's expansion was no longer high-end cultivators, but instead disciples capable of helping keep the weaker demonic cultivators at bay.

And so, with a clear objective in mind, Elder Song set out to do a large-scale recruitment of new disciples throughout all the branch sects that had been established throughout its territory. Intending to solve the lack of weaker cultivators that the sect was experiencing.
