Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1394  Meeting Elder Song and Life of Shu Yin

Finding herself in front of Elder Song after a few minutes walking into the core of the Star Shattering Sect, Shu Yin could not help feeling a bit surprised, when she learnt that he was actually the Vice Sect Master of the sect.

The main reason for this surprise being that the Vice Sect Master would normally be one of the strongest cultivators in the sect, but Elder Song was still in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Not to mention him being among the strongest of the Star Shattering Sect, he was still far from the few Domain Lord Realm cultivators she had run into during her time inside the Star Shattering Sect.

"Elder Song is an important person of the sect and is also the sole person in charge of the sect's internal management, his current position was given because of how excellent he is when it comes to managing the sect. Not so much because of his strength."

Seeing the clearly confused expression on Shu Yin's face upon realizing that Elder Song was only in the Nascent Soul Realm, Shen Xuefeng quickly jumped in to explain, something that had become rather normal considering that most of the wandering cultivators wanting to join the sect ended up meeting with Elder Song at some point and would show a similarly confused expression.

It wasn't that surprising considering that higher positions like Vice Sect Master, Sect Master, Core Elders and so on were normally held by the strongest experts of the sect. Not like the Star Shattering Sect where the Vice Sect Master position had essentially turned into a sect management position that didn't really care about the strength of the person holding down the position.

Then again, this was mainly because of Elder Song, as the position had been left to him so he could continue doing what he did best without any problems and continue to help increase the strength of the sect like he had done so far.

In a sense, it was also because he was incredibly good at his work and the rest of the sect elders knew about how hard he was working that nobody really complained about him being the Vice Sect Master. Especially so because none of them dared even think about taking on the workload he allocated to the position itself.

"I see…" Nodding her head in understanding after hearing what Shen Xuefeng said, Shu Yin slowly found a place to sit down before Shen Xuefeng introduced her to Elder Song and they began discussing the matter of her joining the Star Shattering Sect.

Even if Elder Song really did want to have someone of her strength level join the sect right away, he still had to make sure that she wouldn't end up causing any problems for the sect in the future.

Slowly, a few hours flew by with Shen Xuefeng silently standing on the side and listening to the two of them as they talked about Shu Yin's past and her reason for wanting to join the Star Shattering Sect.

In the end, she and Elder Song ended up learning a lot about Shu Yin.

Before cultivating, Shu Yin was a normal village girl living on the eastern side of the continent that was home to several large Buddhist temples. From there, she had originally been fine with living a normal life, but an arranged marriage was suddenly forced upon her by some local noble son and she decided to flee her home to avoid the marriage, thus starting her journey of wandering the continent.

The first few years, she was just a normal mortal without cultivation, that was, until she stumbled on an ancient cave dwelling of a long dead Domain Lord Realm cultivator. Finding a suitable cultivation mantra and a large number of resources. Allowing her to take her first step onto the path of cultivation.

Of course, knowing that the treasures of a Domain Lord Realm cultivator might attract unwanted attention, she ended up spending the next two hundred and fifty years in secluded cultivation inside the cave and only dared venturing out of the cave when the resources were running out and her cultivation had reached the Peak of the Core Formation Realm.

Next on, she officially began journeying across the continent as a wandering cultivator. Encountering all sorts of opportunities and deadly situations that ultimately helped push her to understand more about the world around her, while at the same time aiding her cultivation.

In the end, she managed to successfully step into the Domain Lord Realm just when her lifespan was about to reach its end. Allowing her to transcend the normal level of wandering cultivator and start moving away from the eastern part of the continent and even visit the core region of the continent.

Of course, her strength was far from enough to wander around the core region of the continent and after witnessing a battle between two Earth Immortal Realm cultivators, she ultimately decided against entering the core region and instead spent most of her time exploring different ancient sites to further her cultivation.

At first, she had hoped that she would be able to reach the Soul Ascension Realm by continuing to explore like this, but after she broke through to the Seventh Stage of the Domain Lord Realm at the age of 5000, she ran into a wall that she couldn't cross no matter how hard she tried… And over the next four thousand years, her cultivation barely improved. Only recently breaking through to the Eighth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm.

Although her strength was impressive and she was already close to the Soul Ascension Realm at this point in time, her slow cultivation speed after stepping into the Later Stages of the Domain Lord Realm made it clear to her that she wouldn't be able to break through to the Soul Ascension Realm by cultivating while wandering the continent like she had done so far, as she had less than a thousand years left to live at this point in time.

Starting to feel the desperation that all cultivators about to reach the end of their lifespan felt, she ended up wandering into some more dangerous areas in search of opportunities and found herself falling into far more deadly situations over the past hundred years than what she had experienced during the 9000 years before that.

In the end, it was also this that had caused her to end up inside the territory of the Star Shattering Sect after having ended up passing through some kind of ancient teleportation formation.

As of now, she was 9156 years old and at the Eighth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm and most important of all to Elder Song, she was a wandering cultivator that didn't get involved with any other powers during her time wandering across the continent. Outside of the explorer union that was unavailable to most wandering cultivators. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even if her age was a bit worrying as she was already close to reaching the end up her lifespan if she couldn't break through to the Soul Ascension Realm, Elder Song didn't really feel that worried about it, as she still had a little under 900 years left to live.

Helped by the resources of the Star Shattering Sect and with the guidance of someone like Pei Yang or Xuan Hao, she stood a good chance of being able to reach the Soul Ascension Realm. Especially considering the existence of the Dao Enlightenment Monument that was incredibly useful for anyone in the Domain Lord Realm.

Even if she didn't get any help from Xuan Hao or Pei Yang in her cultivation, with the rich cultivation environment of the sect and the Dao Enlightenment Monument, Elder Song felt that she would still stand a good chance of reaching the Soul Ascension Realm and possibly even the Dao Seed Realm in the future.

"Hm… I will do a more in depth look into your situation and determine the accuracy of what you said with the explorer union, but if there is nothing wrong, I can confidently say that you are more than welcome to join the Star Shattering Sect. Of course, starting as a guest elder before officially becoming an elder in the future."

As he thought about everything, Elder Song slowly nodded his head before saying this. Agreeing to have Shu Yin join the sect, as there seemed to be nothing wrong with what she told him about her past.

Of course, it would still have to be confirmed through the explorer union first, but he didn't feel like there would be any problems in this regard, as Shu Yin had used the explorer union a lot according to herself. Meaning that they should have information on her as long as they paid the price.

So for now, Shu Yin was granted a temporary residence inside the sect until everything was sorted out and she could officially join the sect as a guest elder with the chance to become a real elder.
