Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

I really wonder what use this fancy dinner plate has…

Thinking this to himself as he looked over the disc shaped object in his hand, Chu Yang began injecting his qi into it. Hoping to see if that would do something.

Fwoosh!

Along with qi being injected into it, Chu Yang had no time to say anything, as he suddenly saw a bright light cover his body before feeling a sense of weightlessness as his vision was overwhelmed by the light. Preventing him from seeing anything.

"W-what happened…?"

Not knowing what had just happened, as he had been blinded by the bright light from the disc as it covered his entire body, Chu Yang could only open his mouth in amazement upon discovering that he was no longer in the place where the two groups of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had been fighting!

The ancient relic had actually transported him somewhere after he injected qi into it!

Thinking about this, Chu Yang looked down on the ancient relic he had taken away. Only to discover that it had already begun disintegrating in his hands. Only a few seconds later. Nothing more than dust was left of the ancient relic that the two groups of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had been fighting for.

"…"

Seeing that the ancient relic had self-destructed, Chu Yang could only blame himself for inserting his qi into it without knowing just what the ancient relic was.

At first, he had wanted to ask the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators about where he was, but in the end, he got distracted by the ancient relic they were fighting over and had somehow ended up being transported somewhere by said ancient relic.

I should find out where the fancy dinner plate took me…

Thinking this to himself, Chu Yang looked away from the remains of what had once been the ancient relic and focused on his surroundings.

A large mountain range was clearly visible in the distance, and he currently found himself in the middle of a large, ruined altar.

"Hopefully there is someone nearby that I can ask for directions…"

Muttering this to himself as he took in his surroundings, Chu Yang could not help feeling a little depressed over his current situation.

"Hm?"

Looking in the direction of the mountain range, Chu Yang suddenly had a bad feeling as he felt a shiver run down his spine.

ROAR!

Soon enough, a large wolf like demon beast easily the size of a small hill appeared on top one of the mountains of the mountain range in distance, as it roared loudly towards the heavens.

RUMBLE! BOOM!

ROOOAR!

Following the appearance and roar of the large wolf demon beast, the sky suddenly darkened as a terrifying bolt of lightning descended towards the wolf demon beast. Instantly causing it to howl in pain as tried its best to resist the terrifying lighting.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Before long, Chu Yang watched the wolf demon beast resit the lighting from above, as parts of the lighting broke of and fell into its surroundings. Instantly reducing a few nearby mountains to dust.

<br/>BOOM!

Not only that, but part of the terrifying lighting also landed right next to Chu Yang. Erasing small hill next to the place he was standing and at the same time almost killing him.

I have to get out of here!                                         

Waking up from his seemingly frozen state after a small part of the lightning landed right next to him, Chu Yang didn't dare watch the wolf demon beast any longer.

Directly escaping in the opposite direction as quickly as he could.

Not caring about where he went, as long as he managed to get away from the terrifying lighting and wolf demon beast that seemed to have been the reason for the terrifying lighting showing up.

Whoosh!

Running as quickly as he could for the next few hours, Chu Yang did not even manage to catch a glimpse of another human being. The same could be said for demon beasts, as it seemed like every living being had hidden away after discovering the large wolf… Not too surprising given how terrifying the wolf demon beast and the lightning was!

"Hah… I should… Hah… Have gotten away by now… Hah…"

Arriving at a small pine forest, Chu Yang exhaustedly collapsed on the ground beneath a large pine tree. Not able to keep running any longer, as all the qi inside his dantian had pretty much been emptied out by him during his escape.

"Hah…"

Taking a deep breath as he calmed down, Chu Yang sat up in a lotus position before beginning to draw in qi from his surroundings to hasten his qi recovery.

By the time he opened his eyes, the sky had already turned completely dark, and a few demon beasts had appeared in the pine forest. Luckily, they were just in the Qi Condensation Realm and had been too scared by his Core Formation Realm aura to attack him.

Rustle~

Standing up, Chu Yang's movement instantly scared some of the more curious demon beasts away, as they had been slowly beginning to move closer to him after seeing him not moving for a long time.

"Looks like I'm not anywhere close to human territory…"

Looking around himself, Chu Yang could not help muttering this to himself as he realized that there was no sign of human activity anywhere around him.

The only place he knew about with human activity, was the stone platform he had ended up on after being transported by the fancy dinner plate… The same place that the terrifying wolf demon beast was located…

"I'm telling you, the demon beast over here were acting quite weird! I'm sure some sort of treasure appeared!"

"Sure… We won't enter another den of Core Formation Realm wolves… Will we?"

"You! It was only one- two times!"

Suddenly hearing loud voices from the distance approaching, Chu Yang instantly rushed towards the origin of the voices.

Whoosh!

"Greetings fellow cultivators!"

Realizing that the origin of the two voices were two humans who were both in the Core Formation Realm, Chu Yang decided to politely greet the two of them.

After all, who knew how long it would take for him to get back to the Flying Sword Sect if the two decided to not help him out?

"Ah- Who are you!"

Screaming in an unbefitting manner, one of the two Core Formation Realm Experts fell to the ground as he cautiously lifted his sword before pointing it towards Chu Yang.

""…""

Both Chu Yang and the remaining Core Formation Realm Expert froze for a short moment upon seeing the pathetic display.

"Ehm! Excuse my companion's behaviour…"

"No worries…"

"Hey! Why are both of you acting so familiar with each other! Chen Yang! You have to be more cautious when encountering strangers! Especially inside the Burning Mountain Range!"

So, I'm inside the Burning Mountain Range, one of the most dangerous places on the continent… How lucky…

Thinking this to himself as he watched the two Core Formation Realm Experts begin arguing with each other, Chu Yang managed to learn the names of both of them. The calmer one was called Chen Yang, while the… 'Interesting' one among the two, was called Gui Hu.

"I swear… When we get back, I will-"

"…"

Listening from the side as the person known as Gui Hu tried his best to start an argument with Chen Yang, Chu Yang could not help letting out a sigh as he realized he had encountered a quite unique person…

Did he perhaps forget about me?

Smiling wryly as this thought passed through his mind, Chu Yang decided to make him aware of the fact that they were not alone.

"Ahm!"

"Ah- You! You are still here?"

Glaring towards the one going by the name of Gui Hu as he said this, Chu Yang could not stop a small frown from appearing on his face.

"Yes, I am."

So, you didn't forget about me… Did you expect me to leave or something?!

"Oh…"

Not knowing what to say after hearing Chu Yang's response, Gui Hu suddenly seemed to realize something as he cautiously looked towards Chu Yang.

"…"

What in the world is wrong with this guy?

"Hah… Might I ask what fellow Daoist is here for? The Burning Mountain Range has been quite dangerous over the past few weeks, as many of the stronger demon beasts from the inner regions have appeared in the outer regions of the Burning Mountain Range. Both of us are from the Explorer Union."

Letting out a sigh as he said this while casting a critical look towards his companion,  Chen Yang asked Chu Yang politely.

"The Explorer Union!? Actually, I got lost while escaping from a powerful demon beast and haven't been able find my way back out again…"

Hearing that the two were from the Explorer Union, Chu Yang felt a wave of relief wash over him.

The reason for this was rather simple, as the Explorer Union had a great reputation for helping cultivators get out of any of the places they were in the process of exploring. The Burning Mountain Range just so happened to be one such location!
