Whoosh-!
"Wah!? What is happening!?" As the server was still happily celebrating over the fact that Xuan Hao had stopped ordering, she was suddenly caught off guard when the powerful aura of the domain belonging to the supreme elder of the Sky Mist Kingdom began spreading out to cover more than half of the square before coming to a stop only a short distance away from the small caf??.
Of course, this was not the limit of the supreme elder's domain, but he didn't want to spread out his domain too much and offend someone by accident, he had only used his domain as a demonstration for the people listening to his lecture in the middle of the square to get a clear feeling over just how powerful his domain.
Part of him doing this was because he wanted to large group of people to start praising him, while the other part of him wanted to genuinely allow these still weak cultivators to come into contact with his domain to get a clearer understanding of what a domain was so they would have an easier time establishing their own pseudo domain in the future.
After all, if they really did, they were sure to remember this favour in the future and help spread the name of the Black Mist auction house! Even better if his teachings ended up helping one of them reach the Domain Lord Realm, as he would end up with one more friend in the Domain Lord Realm!
No matter what, there was only benefits to him doing something like this... And this was also the reason why he was showing off his domain without holding back as he began giving a brief explanation of how he reached the Domain Lord Realm and what kind of domain he had. Even going as far as informing them how he would cultivate to increase the strength of his domain.
In the first place, the way he cultivated would not really be of any use to anyone other than those who cultivated a similar domain as him... And even if they did end up copying him from what he said today, he made sure to keep out the more important parts!
"How interesting..."
Looking at the domain that covered the centre of the square in an ethereal mist, Xuan Hao could not help showing a surprised expression on his face after he realized that he could not see the supreme elder or the people that had been in the middle of the square any long.
Without the help of his divine sense or domain, there would be no way for him to see the situation taking place inside the domain!
"A mist domain, derived from the Dao of Mist..." Muttering this to himself as he observed the domain in close detail without alerting the supreme elder of the Sky Mist Kingdom inside, Xuan Hao could not help feeling amazed at the mist domain's ability to hide people.
Even if its combat strength should be weaker compared to a more combat oriented domain like a fire domain or a sword domain, the mist domain made it close to impossible for someone in the same realm to kill the other party if he wanted to hide by merging together with the mist domain.
As for what the supreme elder was talking about, Xuan Hao and the rest of the people outside the mist domain could still hear him clearly due to the domain not isolating the sounds coming from inside the mist domain.
When the supreme elder of the Sky Mist Kingdom started explaining how he would cultivate to increase his strength to the group of people sitting in front of him filled with admiration listening to everything he said, Xuan Hao was also listening with an interested expression on his.
Compared to the way he had cultivated during the Domain Lord Realm by comprehending the different Daos that his domain had been derived from, the supreme elder of the Sky Mist Empire was different from him!
Instead of comprehending the Dao of Mist that his domain was derived from, he had instead decided to comprehend the different Daos that were related to the Dao of Mist and combine his new understanding of these related Daos together with his domain of mist to strengthen it and allow it to grow closer to the Dao of Water that the Dao of Mist existed under.
Hearing about this, Xuan Hao began inspecting the domain of mist in front of him more closely and did indeed discover a different dao present inside the domain outside of the Dao of Mist. The Dao of Rainwater!
Although the presence of the Dao of Rainwater was faint, it formed a perfect cycle inside the domain that allowed it to constantly increase in strength, while at the same time strengthening the Dao of Mist present inside the domain. Inevitably causing the strength of the domain to grow and the cultivation realm of the supreme elder of the Sky Mist Kingdom to rise!
"..."
Seeing just how smart this elder was, Xuan Hao could not help feeling that his current domain was rather lacking.
Compared to the supreme elder of the Sky Mist Kingdom whose domain would continually increase in strength by itself, Xuan Hao had to constantly comprehend the different Daos that had been integrated into his domain to increase in strength.
For the first time in quite some time, Xuan Hao felt like an inexperienced junior when he compared his own domain with the mist domain of the supreme elder of the Sky Mist Kingdom.
Even if he was far stronger than the other party, Xuan Hao did not feel embarrassed to say that his domain was lacking when compared to the supreme elder of the Sky Mist Kingdom.
To be honest, given the constant increase in strength that the supreme elder of the Sky Mist Kingdom's domain was going through, Xuan Hao would not be surprised if the other party ended up reaching the Soul Ascension Realm in the future... Or even beyond that!
