Chapter 1526 Dragon Tooth Mountain City (3)

chapter 1526 dragon tooth mountain city (3)

arriving at the entrance to the explorer union branch located in the city, xuan hao made his way inside without any hesitation before walking up to one of the counters to ask about information on the different soul ascension realm cultivators and above present in the dragon tooth mountain city and the dragon tooth mountain itself.

considering that he wasn't the only person who wanted to get information on the different powerful cultivators present in the city and on the mountain itself, the staff member behind the counter showed no change in expression as he was handed over a small booklet that recorded the information of most of the soul ascension realm cultivators and above currently present.

of course, the information itself was highly inaccurate compared to buying detailed information on the different soul ascension realm or stronger cultivators, as some of the people might not be present in the city any longer, while everyone mentioned was not thoroughly analyzed and had just been roughly estimated as either soul ascension realm or earth immortal realm without anything more detailed.

not to mention, it was clear from a glance that the booklet did not contain information on all the soul ascension realm cultivators or higher inside of the city, as those belonging to the crimson dragon empire were excluded and those who had not yet revealed their strength in public were amongst the most obvious cultivators not part of the booklet.

one such example would be the few soul ascension realm cultivators who had lined up with him to enter the city.

following them entering the city closely behind him, neither of them had deliberately shown off their cultivation base. instead, they went about their own business with the clear intent of avoiding drawing any attention to themselves.

for this reason, the information in the booklet could at most be relied on as a form of help for weaker cultivators so they would know who to offend or not. after all, to a domain lord realm cultivator, it didn't matter if the other party was a soul ascension realm cultivator who had just passed through the second tribulation or someone who stood at the pinnacle of the realm.

no matter which of the two they offended, the fate of a normal domain lord realm when faced with someone in the soul ascension realm would normally be death.

it was also for this reason that the clerk behind the counter didn't find anything odd about xuan hao asking for this kind of information, as he was currently still disguised as someone in the domain lord realm.

so... so many soul ascension realm cultivators...!

of course, xuan hao's mind wasn't the slightest bit concerned about the thoughts of the clerk or the original purpose of the booklet, as he was wholeheartedly focused on the sheer number of soul ascension realm cultivators recorded inside of the small booklet.

just the ones that had been recorded down numbered a little over 70 soul ascension realm cultivators and 6 dao seed realm cultivators.

when that time came, he should have broken through to the profound immortal realm and these kinds of issues would resolve themselves.

as for the question of how many dao seed realm cultivators the current star shattering sect could accommodate? that question had never come up in his conversation with elder song.

the reason being rather simple, as both understood that it would be hard to recruit someone who had managed to reach the dao seed realm as a wandering cultivator.

anyone that could be recruited would be a blessing for the current star shattering sect, as it would help significantly increase the strength of the sect while also helping the star shattering sect keep its carefully crafted image as an ancient hidden sect intact.

with that in mind, xuan hao didn't go to find one of the soul ascension realm cultivators on the booklet but instead went out to search for one of the dao seed realm cultivators. hoping that he will be able to recruit at least one of the six people listed in the booklet.

scratch that, from the little information in the booklet, two of them have strange hobbies and should be avoided if possible while a third was a well-known con artist that even dared to scam the dao seed realm cultivators from the crimson dragon empire.

in the end, he was left with three potential future elders in the dao seed realm.

now, the main problem that stood between him and recruiting these dao seed realm elders to join his sect was figuring out where they were, as the booklet didn't really contain any information about where they were. only that they had been in the city within the past month.

for all he knew about the three, they might have already left the dragon tooth mountain city discreetly.

one way he could find out with some certainty was buy more detailed information from the explorer union, but... asking the clerk offhandedly about the price for information on the location of someone in the dao seed realm, he quickly realized that it would be better for him to first look around the city himself and see if he could find anything.

the error he had caused in the guardian formation of the dragon tooth mountain city not long ago fell completely to the back of his mind as he left the explorer union to search for the three dao seed realm cultivators who had the potential to become elders of the sect.

this was not completely his fault, as he did ask the clerk about the formation and specifically maintenance of the formation. using his identity as a pretext to feign curiosity for the inner workings of the massive and complex formation- well... not entirely him feigning curiosity, as he was indeed interested in the formation and how it worked.

in the end, he learnt that the formation went through yearly safety checks and the next one was still a few months away. leading him to fully believe that he would be safe for the next few months without anyone noticing a small error that had taken place in the formation before being quickly fixed a second later by the formation itself.
