Having finished reading through the side quest and with nothing more to do while watching over the rabbit demon beast, Xuan Hao decided to use his dao domain to slowly cut up what remained of the sandworm. Given that the sandworm was already dead, this was far easier to do compared to when he had first tried to break through its defenses.
Whoosh~
After cutting up the sandworm into smaller and more manageable chunks, he separated the scales, meat, teeth, and other useful materials before placing them inside a few spare interspatial rings that he carried with him. After all, given the size of the sandworm, there was no way he would be able to fit everything inside single interspatial ring…
In the end, not only did he manage to harvest a lot of meat that would be beneficial for the growth of demon beasts, but he also managed to gain a lot of other useful materials that could be used in the creation of powerful artifacts and alchemical concoctions of the Soul Ascension Realm. The only problem was that there wasn't really anyone in the current Star Shattering Sect that could make use of the Soul Ascension Realm materials for now.
"Even if the materials harvested from the sandworm isn't useful to the current Star Shattering Sect, they should at the very least serve as encouragement for the elders and disciples to improve. Maybe I could even try to use some of the materials myself…" Muttering this to himself as he put away the last few parts of the sandworm, Xuan Hao soon shook his head. Although he wanted to try and use the scales and teeth of the sandworm to make something, he also understood that his current level when it came to blacksmithing was far too low.
Maybe if he improved his alchemy a bit further and reached the Master Realm, he would be able to make something using a few unique materials harvested from the sandworm, but that would be it. If he wanted to make use of the more powerful materials, he would have to surpass the Master Realm in alchemy.
All things considered; Xuan Hao once again felt that his professions were lacking too far behind when compared to his current cultivation realm. Not only that, but he also felt that the current Star Shattering Sect was lacking when it came to experts specialized in different professions.
The Star Shattering Sect might be improving quickly at the moment, but it would inevitably end up running into a barrier at some point in time if there were no artifacts, potions, pills, or talismans to support the rapid growth of the sect.
Looks like I will have to ask Elder Song about this after returning to the sect and see if he already has some plans to deal with this issue. Given how he is, I don't doubt that he already has some ideas about this issue…
Thinking about this, Xuan Hao could not help smiling wryly when thinking about Elder Song.
Without him, there would have been no way for the Star Shattering Sect to grow so fast and still remain stable. In a sense, Elder Song was the most suitable person for running the Star Shattering Sect and he didn't doubt that Feng Chen would be more than happy to hand over the role of sect master as long as Elder Song managed to reach the Domain Lord Realm in the future.
Unfortunately, the damage that his soul had suffered while taking care of his granddaughter had still not been fully recovered after he used the purification pill. Even then, he wouldn't have any problem reaching the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. Forming a pseudo domain should also be possible, as that mainly relied on comprehension and didn't involve any kind of tribulation.
Breaking through to the Domain Lord Realm and having to face a tribulation that was specifically targeting his soul on the other hand… That was not something he could endure without his soul fully recovering.
At least there was still a long time until Elder Song reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm considering that he was still in the earlier stages of the Nascent Soul Realm and there should be more than enough time to find something to help remove the last bit of hidden injuries in his soul.
Although this might have been difficult before, it should not be too hard to find something like this with his current cultivation realm. Not to mention, he could always try to go through the Explorer Union and buy something through them.
After all, the Explorer Union was spread across the entire continent and sold countless precious materials and spiritual herbs. Even if the price of spiritual herbs or medicine that could heal the hidden injuries inside a soul were expensive, he was not really poor. Especially when considering that large number of special materials he had managed to gather from the sandworm.
Given its size alone, the number of defensive artifacts that could be crafted from its scales alone would be more than enough to make him the riches person in the Sky Empire, let alone if he decided to include things like its teeth and the meat containing part of the power belonging to the Earth Immortal Realm.
In a sense, after killing the sandworm and harvesting its materials, Xuan Hao had become the richest person in the Sky Empire. The only problem was that even if he wanted to sell part of the sandworm, he doubted that there would be anyone who could pay the price. Maybe only the Explorer Union would be able to do this, but they would properly need some time to transfer over these resources first…
Squeak…
Lost in his own thoughts as he had nothing better to do while watching over the rabbit demon beast, an exhausted squeak soon echoed out beside him, as the rabbit demon beast slowly opened its eyes before a powerful aura belonging to the Third Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm emerged around it.
It had successfully passed through the tribulation!
