Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1356  Large Success, Dao of Ice

Landing at the Peak of the Second Star Peak that seemed to be without any changes from the last time he had been there with countless smaller and larger rocks filled with the blue divine energy still motionlessly covering the mountain peak, Xuan Hao could not help breaking a sigh of relief for some unknown reason.

Even though he didn't really expect something to have changed since his last visit to the Second Star Peak, he was still happy when he personally saw that there hadn't been any changes since he had last been there and absorbed some of the blue divine energy from one of the smaller rocks.

If something really did up changing without him being around and with the chaotic qi formation already having locked down the area to prevent anyone else from reaching the Second Star Peak, he would have to move forward far more carefully.

On a positive note, he at least managed to confirm that absorbing the blue divine energy inside one the rocks last time around didn't seem to affect the rest of the rocks with divine energy inside them.

However, there was a change taking place, though not one related to the Second Star Peak, but instead Xuan Hao himself, as he clearly felt the flame imprint between his brows revealing itself without him personally intending to do so.

Not just that, but he could also clearly feel that the flame imprint seemed to be trying to reach out towards the nearby rocks filled with blue divine energy. Clearly trying to absorb the blue divine energy inside of them.

Of course, given that he still wasn't fully aware of just what the flame imprint was and whether or not it would pose any danger to him in the long run, Xuan Hao decided to start slow. Picking up a smaller rock on the ground before slowly allowing the flame imprint between his eyebrows to absorb it. At the same time allowing his comprehension of the Dao of Ice to rapidly increase, as he felt the profound Dao of Ice inside the blue divine energy flowing through his body before entering the mysterious space contained inside the flame imprint.

The main difference compared to the past when the small flame, that had now turned into a flame imprint, had absorbed the blue divine energy, was the fact that his body could now endure the blue divine energy flowing through it without any major problems.

Although the strength of the blue divine energy was still far too strong for him to try and personally absorb with his current strength, it did bring some benefits outside of increased comprehension of the Dao of Ice, as Xuan Hao clearly felt both the size and strength of the meridians throughout his body growing as the blue divine energy flowed through them. Strengthening his already strong foundation even further.

Unfortunately, after a little over three hours on top of the Second Star Peak slowly absorbing the blue divine energy inside a few of the smaller stones scattered around on the mountain peak, Xuan Hao felt that the capacity of the mysterious space inside the flame imprint seemed to have reached its limits. Unable to absorb any more of the blue divine energy.

Unfortunately, after a little over three hours on top of the Second Star Peak slowly absorbing the blue divine energy inside a few of the smaller stones scattered around on the mountain peak, Xuan Hao felt that the capacity of the mysterious space inside the flame imprint seemed to have reached its limits. Unable to absorb any more of the blue divine energy.

Even then, this did not seem to slow down his comprehension of the Dao of Ice, as the lingering power of the blue divine energy was still present throughout his body. Allowing him to continue comprehending the Dao of Ice without any problem. Slowly allowing him to get closer and closer to the Large Success Realm in the Dao of Ice.

Considering that the Dao of Ice was one of the first Daos he had comprehended back when he was still in the earlier stages of the Domain Lord Realm, it was also one of the Daos he had the longest time to comprehend.

Thus, as two months flew by on top of the Second Star Peak without any interruptions, Xuan Hao managed to break through to the Large Success Realm in the Dao of Ice.

Regrettably, after breaking through to the Large Success Realm in the Dao of Ice, the last bits of power left behind in his body by the blue divine energy disappeared. Making him open both of his eyes as he scanned the unchanged desolate landscape of the Second Star Peak that had seen no changes during his two month long secluded cultivation.

Turning his attention towards the mysterious space hidden away inside the flame imprint, he noticed that it was still filled to the brim. Not able to allow him to try and absorb more of the blue divine energy.

Even though he had originally wanted to be a bit more cautious about the flame imprint absorbing the blue divine energy, he couldn't bring himself to stop after he noticed how much it help with his comprehension of the Dao of Ice. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I really have to be more cautious the next time around. Maybe find out more about the flame imprint and whether or not it will pose any threat by continuing to absorb the blue divine energy…" Muttering this to himself as he shook his head, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a bit conflicted as he unconsciously touched the area where the flame imprint was located.

Although he was cautious about the danger that it might pose to him at some point in the future, it was also a fact that it had saved him on several occasions in the past.

Because of this, Xuan Hao silently ended up deciding to continue trying to absorb the blue divine energy on the Second Star Peak with the flame imprint when it had finished absorbing what had been absorbed this time around.

Not only because it would be useful for his comprehension of the Dao of Ice, but also because he was genuinely curious about what kind of changes would take place in the flame imprint if he continued to have it absorb the blue divine energy. Especially considering the phoenix feathers it had absorbed and the fact that there was an even smaller phoenix inside it.

Would continuing to absorb the blue divine energy perhaps cause the small phoenix inside the small flame between his brows to grow? Maybe the mysterious space inside the small flame was specially created to nurture this small phoenix?

But… If that was the case… What was he? An egg?

Shaking his head with a slightly wry smile on his face as he thought about this, Xuan Hao decided not to think too much about the meaning behind the small flame imprint or the even smaller phoenix inside the flame imprint for now.

Though, he did take note of the fact that it seemed like the small phoenix had grown in size after the absorption of blue divine energy this time around. Even if it was only at a scale that could be measured with his divine sense, it had indeed grown…

"

Haaa… For now, I should get back to the sect and see what has happened during the time I was gone. Hopefully the new elder changes encouraged the elders in their cultivation.

Shaking his head as he decided not to think about the small flame imprint any longer, Xuan Hao began making his way back towards the sect while wondering just how many elders had managed to break through to the Domain Lord Realm over the past two months following the encouragement in the form of the core elder position being limited to a hundred people.

Whoosh~!

Without even waiting until he was back home, Xuan Hao spread out his divine sense and covered the Shattered Star Peaks. Searching for any new Domain Lord Realm cultivator he hadn't felt before. Knowing that anyone who had managed to reach the Domain Lord Realm over the past two months should still be consolidating their cultivation base inside the sect at this point in time.

"1… 2… 5… 7 people!? There is actually seven who managed to breakthrough to the Domain Lord Realm over the past two months!?"

However, the discovery that seven people had actually managed to break through to the Domain Lord Realm in this relatively short period of time was still shocking. Especially considering that he also noticed that there were several elders of the sect currently at the last steps of preparing to break through to the Domain Lord Realm.

In another month, it wouldn't be shocking for the number of Domain Lord Realm cultivators in the Star Shattering Sect to grow by another five to ten people!

Indeed… In terms of encouraging the elders of the sect, it seemed like the new arrangement for the core elder and grand elder positions had worked perfectly, as it seemed to have sparked these elders competitive spirit.

With that in mind, Xuan Hao also decided to check out on Feng Chen and the rest of the sect's elders who had already managed to reach the Domain Lord Realm to check out how they had been doing and whether or not they were still stuck at the First Stage of the Domain Lord Realm.
