Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Following his brief stay at the border of the sect's territory, Xuan Hao could not help feeling curious about the artifact that one of the True Demon Realm demonic cultivators had used to sense him and in turn avoid him. After all, an artifact capable of doing something like that was definitely at the peak among Transcendent Grade Artifacts. Possibly even surpassing it.

In turn, it also made him a bit confused as to why none of the other demonic cultivators had made a move to try and seize this powerful artifact given that they clearly knew about its existence and power.

The only reason he could think of behind them not doing something like that was that there was a more powerful demonic cultivator behind the one carrying around the artifact, though, the strength of the one carrying around the artifact should also be strong.

After all, no matter how intimidating that demonic cultivator's backing might be, there would always be those who didn't care about any of this.

Unable to satiate his curiosity of this specific demonic cultivator and only feeling himself growing more curious about the demonic cultivator in question, Xuan Hao ultimately decided to try and contact Xuan Gui to see if she knew anything about this demonic cultivator…

"An artifact capable of detecting danger… The only artifacts I know about capable of doing something like that are the protective talisman refined by the Great Demon King of the Frozen Wastelands, though… The refinement of those talismans is incredibly difficult and requires the blood and soul of at least three Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators. For a treasure like that to be outside the core, it should be one of the Demon King of the Frozen wasteland's offspring."

"Requires the blood and soul of three Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators!? And… Offspring? The Demon King of the Frozen Wastelands has children?" Listening to what Xuan Gui told him, Xuan Hao could not help showing a somewhat shocked expression on his face before asking about the offspring thing. Never having thought that the ruler of the Frozen Wastelands would actually have children, as it didn't really seem to fit with what he had seen from demonic cultivators so far for them to have children and even take care of them.

Even more so considering that this care involved refining a protective talisman with the blood and souls of three Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators!

"It's not what you are thinking, these children aren't the same as what you think, they are a backup plan created by the Demon King of the Frozen Wasteland. Allowing him to be reborn through these children even if his main body and soul is destroyed.

This kind of technique is practiced among some of the stronger Demon Kings of the Frozen Wastelands, though it's hard to cultivate given that the children in question are people selectively cultivated by the Demon Kings over a long period of time… And only in the True Demon Realm can they be used for their original purpose.

The main problem in this kind of technique is the fact that they will be able to detect the purpose behind their existence when they reach the Demon Lord Realm and given the connection established between them and the Demon King, they will naturally grow in strength without even cultivating. Leaving only a window of a few hundred years or a thousand years in the best-case scenario where they are useful.

Out of all the Demon Kings in the Frozen Wasteland, only the Demon King of the Frozen Wastelands has the ability to cultivate this technique without any problems. Keeping a constant number of bodies available all across the Frozen Wastelands.

As of now, the number of such children that I know about is around twenty, with three of them being in the True Demon Realm, those in the True Demon Realm all get a protective talisman, though it's rarely used and as far as I know, is recycled to another child when the child is about to reach the Demon Lord Realm."

"This…"

Hearing the origin of the artifact or what he now understood to be a talisman of some sort, Xuan Hao could not help becoming even more shocked than before as he learnt about the terrifying methods of the Demon King in control of the Frozen Wasteland.

Even if you managed to kill his true body and destroyed his soul, he still had several backups scattered all across the Frozen Wastelands that would allow him to reemerge in the future.

Not just that, but it was also clear that someone taking their survival so seriously would also have several other backup plans to ensure their survival. Not to mention, there would definitely also be some of those children hidden away outside the Frozen Wasteland after they broke through to the True Demon Realm and were deemed suitable.

However, the fact that there were more than twenty of those children around was more than enough to make Xuan Hao understand that killing the Demon King of the Frozen Wastelands wouldn't be something easy even if he ended up breaking through to the Profound Immortal Realm in the future.

At the same time, he also understood why those Celestial Immortals from the core region of the continent hadn't destroyed the Frozen Wasteland, it was simply far too difficult.

Not to mention, there were more forbidden grounds similar to the Frozen Wastelands where demonic cultivators gathered. Each of them is now attacking the core region of the continent from different directions.

Although he doubted that all of them had reached the same level as the Demon King of the Frozen Wasteland in terms of their survival ability, he didn't doubt that they should all have some kind of method or thing that had allowed them to continue staying around.

As for a demonic cultivator above the Demon King Realm… Xuan Hao and even Xuan Gui had never heard about someone like that before but given that he knew about the existence of a realm like the Profound Immortal Realm, Xuan Hao had a feeling that there should also be a demonic realm equivalent to the Later Stages of the Profound Immortal Realm…
