Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough Chapter 330

"This should be the Second Star Peak…"

Having left Zhu Lian to fend for herself against the swarm of elderly cultivators curious about the person who broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm back at the Third Star Peak, Xuan Hao flew up towards the peak of the Second Star Peak.

He felt like he would at least have to check it out...

After all, from what he knew, there should not be anyone that had made their way up the Second Star Peak since the star fell from the sky and shattered eight out of the nine mountain peaks…

"This… Is getting quite difficult…"

Whoosh!

Flying up towards the peak of the Second Star Peak, Xuan Hao soon found himself landing on the small worn-down path leading up the mountain.

"I never expected for the chaotic qi to become so dense…"

Having felt an increased pressure from the chaotic qi as he flew up the Second Star Peak, Xuan Hao was forced to land and walk. Using his domain to fly up the mountain was simply way too exhausting, and it was close to impossible for him to recover any of the qi that he expended given the fact that there was only chaotic qi around him…

He could still sit down and slowly absorb and purify the chaotic qi, but that process would take a long time and Xuan Hao did not really want to spend a few days scaling up the Second Star Peak…

Walking up with only his physical strength while protecting himself from the chaotic qi with his domain was a way easier solution and would at most add a few extra minutes to his journey up the Second Star Peak…

"Hah… Finally, here…"

Taking his last step up the Second Star Peak, Xuan Hao could not help but let out an emotional sigh as he looked at the summit of the Second Star Peak stretching on for miles in every direction.

The only thing standing out about the environment of the Second Star Peak's Summit, was the large chunks of blue coloured rocks that were spread around all over the entire summit.

"What is this…?" Walking up to one of the nearby chunks of blue coloured rocks, Xuan Hao soon felt himself lose all feeling in the arm he was holding onto the blue coloured rock with.

Thumb!

Letting go of the rock immediately, Xuan Hao retreated a few feet away from the strange and now dangerous blue coloured rock.

Looking back down at the arm he had been holding the blue coloured rock with earlier, Xuan Hao saw that it was completely encased in a thin layer of ice as he could barely move it…

Note to self. Don't touch strangely coloured rocks on the ground without thoroughly inspecting them first…

Having dedicated the small lesson to memory, Xuan Hao used the next half hour slowly removing the ice from his arm and recovering it back to normal.

"Now… Let's see what's hidden inside of this… rock…" Proceeding cautiously, Xuan Hao spread out both his divine sense and his domain before he began to slowly and methodically inspecting the small chunk of blue coloured rock in front of him.

Inside the rock, Xuan Hao found an energy that was eerily similar to the green energy that he had found in the form of the plague of the church of the plague god… From what he remembered; it should be-

"Divine energy…" Muttering the name of the thing inside of the rock to himself in disbelief, Xuan Hao became even more cautious of the small chunk of blue rock in front of him.

Divine energy was related to some kind of church, and he did not really have any good impression of the churches in this world…

Even if he had only encountered one, Xuan Hao still remembered the fact that the Sky Empire was currently in the process of creating the Sect Alliance to weaken the churches influence according to what Shu Yao had said.

However, inspecting the divine energy inside of the rock, Xuan Hao found out that there was a stark difference between the green and eerie divine energy of the church of the plague god and the blue divine energy inside of the rock.

The green divine energy gave of an eerie and evil feeling, while the blue divine energy just gave off the feeling of endless coldness. Almost like it could freeze one's soul to death with ease…

The coldness from the blue divine energy was not malicious or evil like the green divine energy and it didn't attack. The earlier point in time where his arm was covered in a layer of ice and slowly began to lose feeling, was most likely just the result of him coming into contact with the divine energy. Not the divine energy attacking him…

"Just how powerful is this divine energy…" Xuan Hao could not help but feel baffled when he realized just how strong the blue divine energy inside the rock was. The green divine energy of the church of the plague god that he had encountered seemed weak and harmless in comparison to the blue divine energy!

The two divine energies were on completely different levels…

"But… where did these rocks come from…?"

Looking away from the small rock in front of him, Xuan Hao looked out over the summit of the Second Star Peak and looked at the countless small and big blue rocks that covered the entire place.

All likely to be filled with the blue divine energy…

Just how much divine energy was left in this place and for what reason…?

Is this perhaps related to the star that fell from above and destroyed this peak along with the other seven peaks?

Thinking about this, Xuan Hao turned his gaze away from the blue rocks on top of the Second Star Peak's Summit before looking up in the direction of the Main Peak.

Even from the peak of the Second Star Peak, Xuan Hao could still not see the top of the mountain. Only barely able to see a few weird blue clouds that concealed what he assumed to be the peak of the mountain.

Looking up at the blue clouds from below, Xuan Hao felt a wave of fear wash over him.

The blue coloured clouds were dangerous... Just looking at them gave him a feeling of certain death, but at the same time, he felt his curiosity towards what was hidden on the Main Peak increase even further.

I will stay here for some time and see if I can learn something from studying the blue divine energy. After that, I will head up the Main Peak!

Supressing his feeling of curiosity, Xuan Hao decided to first study the blue divine energy now that he had gotten the chance to study divine energy for the first time without it dispersing or trying to escape like the green divine energy had.

Maybe he would even be able to absorb some of the powerful divine energy and increase his cultivation realm…

Whoosh~

Feeling motivated to improve, Xuan Hao sat down beside one of the larger blue rocks filled with divine energy and began to study the divine energy.

Soon finding himself open to a brand-new world, as the energy was far more complicated than he had ever imagined.

The energy itself consisting of an endless sea of small divine symbols that seemed to contain the information of both the laws that made up the world and something far surpassing it.

Sadly, the information was simply way too profound for the current him to understand and he could only grasp at a few small pieces of information concealed inside the sea of divine symbols…

But even then, Xuan Hao still managed to gain a lot from what little piece of information that he managed to comprehend.

The small bits of information were far beyond anything he had ever come into contact with before and Xuan Hao slowly began to enter a state of enlightenment as he began to merge together the information, he had comprehended from the sea of divine symbols hidden inside of the blue divine energy with his sword domain.

At this point in time, Xuan Hao's sword domain fully spread out. Slowly, a change began to take place inside of the sword domain, as it began to emit a freezing aura. Similar to the freezing aura emitted from the blue divine energy.

Whoosh!

The environment on top of the Second Star Peak seemed to have completely changed, as the ground was covered in a layer of frost with Xuan Hao in the middle.

The temperature had already dropped below freezing and seemed to show no signs of stopping!

Slowly, the temperature grew colder and colder, but Xuan Hao was completely unaffected by this. Instead, he was completely focused on the information inside the sea of divine symbols that was hidden inside the blue divine energy!

Disregarding everything that was happening on the outside…
