"Ahm... Let's get this lecture started now that everyone is ready!" Feeling the countless pairs of eyes locking on to him as he heard the people praising him quite down, the supreme elder from the Sky Mist Kingdom smiled awkwardly for a split second before calmly announcing the start of the lecture without caring about the few people who rolled their eyes upon hearing him say this.
"To start off with, in today's lecture, I will do a brief description of the Qi Condensation Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm. Following this, I will do a more in-depth explanation of the Core Formation Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm and explain to you about my experience when going through those two major realms. At the end, I will allow all of you to see my domain as I will recount my breakthrough to the Domain Lord Realm.
Now, to start of with, the Qi Condensation Realm-"
Understanding that it would be best not to delay the lecture any more than he already had, the supreme elder from the Sky Mist Kingdom gave a brief introduction to what he would be talking about before officially starting the lecture.
In turn, this caused the unsatisfied people waiting for the lecture to forget about their dissatisfaction. All of them taking no more than a few seconds to sit down and listen to the lecture.
All things considered, even if the old man had dragged out things for a little over fifteen minutes listening to people praising him, he was still someone in the Domain Lord Realm. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could not word out their displeasure. Especially considering that this was a public lecture that the senior had set up on his own!
...
Listening to the lecture while sitting in a small cafe not too far away from the centre of the square that the public lecture was being held, Xuan Hao could not help showing a surprised expression on his face as he continued listening to the old man's explanation of the different cultivation realms.
"This... Is worse than I expected..." Glancing away from the lecture taking place and instead focusing back down at the cup of tea in front of him, Xuan Hao could not help shaking his head as he said this with a disappointed expression on his face.
Just from listening to the Domain Lord's explanation of the Qi Condensation Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm so far, Xuan Hao could tell that his understanding of the two realms were far below that of himself!
If it was already like this at the earlier cultivation realms, how much worse would this person's understanding of the Nascent Soul Realm and the Domain Lord Realm be compared to him?
Now that I'm already here, I should see if his comprehension of the Domain Lord Realm will be of any use-
"Hello! Is there anything I can help with?"
"Yeah, I want this, this and this!"
Feeling like he might have ended up wasting time coming to listen to the public lecture given by the supreme elder of the Sky Mist Kingdom, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a bit sad as he decided to order three different slices of cake to enjoy while waiting for the old man to reach the end of his lecture and start talking about the Domain Lord Realm and how he had reached the Domain Lord Realm.
"Here you are~"
"Thank you."
Chomp~!
Hm? This is better than I thought... Maybe it's because I haven't eaten anything for the past few months?
Biting into the first slice of cake that arrived, Xuan Hao's eyes could not help sparkling for a short moment before he consumed the first slice of cake in a matter of seconds.
Chomp~! Chomp~!
Not long passed before the remaining two slices of cake similarly disappeared into thin air, causing the few people sitting on the table beside him to look over with a surprised expression on their faces.
"Ah... Can I get another three slices...?"
Xuan Hao paid these people no mind and instead called out to the server who had just taken a new order after having given him the three slices of cake walked past him again.
"Another three slices- Ah! Y-you are already done!? Ahm... I mean, Of course I will!"
Understanding that Xuan Hao should be a possible gold mine for their small cafe, the server quickly nodded her head with a happy expression on her face before running off to the kitchen before returning with more cake for Xuan Hao.
Unknowingly, time slowly began passing as Xuan Hao enjoyed all the different cakes that the cafe had to offer. The server who had at first looked at Xuan Hao as a possible gold mine had also started looking at him as some kind of monster, as she wondered where all the cake, he was eating disappeared to...
"Now, the lecture is about to reach an end... But before that, I will do a quick demonstration of my domain and talk briefly about my experience when reaching the Domain Lord Realm!" As time had flown by with Xuan Hao enjoying all sorts of delicacies, the lecture was also slowly coming to an end with the supreme elder of the Sky Mist Kingdom saying this with a proud expression on his face.
"Finally... Reaching the important part..."
Having not really paid too much attention to the lecture due to just how inferior the other parties understanding of the Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation and Nascent Soul Realm was compared to himself, Xuan Hao could not help showing a happy expression on his face after hearing that the supreme elder would finally start talking about some of his experiences in the Domain Lord Realm.
"..."
Standing at the side of Xuan Hao's table waiting for another order to come her, the server could not help showing a surprised expression on her face upon noticing that Xuan Hao was not ordering anything.
I-is it finally over...?
The server could not help exclaiming happily inside her head after this thought appeared. Even if she had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was still exhausting for her to constantly run back and forth with new dishes and desserts for Xuan Hao all the time without a single second of rest.
Although Xuan Hao was definitely a customer that would bring in a lot of profits to the small cafe, the server could not help wishing for it to end so she could take a break...
