Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 134: Enlightenment

The rest of the summit was uninteresting and just the same barren look with a few lotus flower platforms scattered around the place from time to time. Most of the lotus flower platforms were empty, while some had a group of people on them cultivating silently or just a single person quietly sitting by themselves.

Looking back at where his disciples were sitting, Xuan Hao saw that they still needed another few minutes of rest before getting up again.

”Hah… This Place is great for cultivation, if just the qi around here wasnʼt so chaotic…” Sighing to himself, Xuan Hao absorbed some of the qi in the air as he allowed it to enter his dantian and run rampant before the nascent soul at the centre of his dantian acted and forcefully refined the chaotic qi.

Compared to the normal process of cultivating that only needed one to absorb the qi between heaven and earth, here one also needed to first refine the violent qi before it was safe to absorb into oneʼs own dantian.

The process could be ignored, but it would leave behind lasting damage as the qi inside oneʼs own dantian would start to become more violent and damage the body and meridians of the cultivator over time.

Turning his attention away from the summit of the Third Star Peak, Xuan Hao instead looked out over the rest of the Shattered Star Peaks.

From the summit of the Third Star Peak, Xuan Hao could see the other Star Peaks below the Third Star Peak. Each of them stretched far into the heavens above, with rolling clouds engulfing them upon reaching a few miles into the sky.

Back on the ground, Xuan Hao could not see through the clouds covering their summits of the Star Peaks, but from the top of the Third Star Peak, Xuan Hao could clearly see the Fourth Star Peak to the Ninth Star Peaks summit.

Looking at the rest of the Star Peaks from the Third Star Peak, Xuan Hao felt that something was a bit odd as he inspected the summit of the other Star Peaks from a distance.

Why were all the summits of the Star Peaks completely flat if a star had fallen and smashed through the Star Peaks before finally landing at the Main Star Peak…?

Upon closer inspection, it almost looked like something had cleanly cut off apart from each of the Star Peaks, going lower and lower until it reached the lowest of the Star Peaks. The Ninth Star Peak.

And why would it land on top of the Main star Peak if it were a sky falling from the heavens above, would it not have to fly from somewhere below the Ninth Star Peak before finally reaching the Main Star Peak…?

Xuan Hao found it more and more odd the more he thought about it. Maybe there was something more to the story of the falling star on top of the Main Star Peak?

Shaking his head, a bit at this thought, Xuan Hao decided not to think about the matter for now. After all, he would have to first reach the Domain Lord realm before he could climb up the Main Star Peak of the Shattered Star Peaks!

Looking out in the direction of the Flying Sword Sect, Xuan Hao could not see anything other than a few towns under the Flying Sword Sect scarted all over the place with several large areas of farming land attached to them.

That was expected as while the Flying Sword Sect was located close to the Shattered Star Peaks, it was still too far for him to be able to see it from the top of the Third Star Peak. Maybe if he reached the Main Star Peak and had the cultivation of a Domain Lord, he would be able to see the Flying Sword Sect.

After all, one of the things Xuan Hao had learned after reaching this world, was the fact that the world itself was considered a plane instead of a planet that he had lived on before his transmigration.

Xuan Hao wondered if there was something similar to planets in this cultivation world. Maybe there even existed worlds like other planes much like the one he was currently on out there.

As Xuan Hao drifted away in his own thoughts thinking about the worlds beyond his own, he slowly slipped into a state of enlightenment as the violent qi surrounding his body frantically fought against an unknown power before forcefully being refined and ultimately absorbed into Xuan Haoʼs body.

”Master!” Both Qing Yi and Chu Yang saw the current state of their master and quickly rushed over as they had no clue about what was happening.

The other people on top of the Third Star Peak that had yet to enter a final round of cultivation in an attempt to reach the next realm, also turned around as they all looked in the direction of Xuan Hao full of shock.

”No need to worry, it seems like your master managed to gain a form of enlightenment.” Walking up besides Qing Yi and Chu Yang, the elderly man they had met earlier came over and explained to them in a kind tone while starring admiringly towards Xuan Hao.

”For now, it is best if you donʼt disturb him.” Saying this, the elderly man started taking a bit of distance from Xuan Hao as he found a lotus flower platform and started cultivating together with his friends.

The Rest of the people who paid attention also returned to what they were doing before as they started cultivating with renewed hope.𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

See! Someone managed to gain enlightenment at the Third Star Peak! We will also be able to do that and reach an even higher realm!

Silence once again covered the Third Star Peak as the elderly cultivators felt a wave of hope wash over them as they all started concentrating on breakthrough.

Unintentionally, Xuan Haoʼs enlightenment had caused the violent qi on top of the Third Star Peak to calm down momentarily. Allowing for the elderly cultivators to more easily cultivate, this in turn allowed a few of them to breakthrough to the next realm and increase their lifespan.

Qing Yi and Chu Yang also felt the qi turn calm and gentle as both of them sat down to cultivate a few meters away from their master. Making sure that nobody interrupted his enlightenment.

Like this, everyone on top of the Third Star Peak quietly sat down together and grasped the sudden opportunity before them to cultivate in hopes of breakthrough.
