Chapter 331 - Fourth Stage Of The Domain Lord Realm!
Chapter 331 – Fourth Stage Of The Domain Lord Realm!
Time slowly passed as the temperature at the summit of the Second Star Peak dropped even further, Xuan Hao in the middle of the snowstorm that had formed at the summit was still sitting motionless on the ground without opening his eyes.
Fwoosh!
It was at this moment that his domain suddenly stopped expanding and instead just remained in place as the temperature began to drop at an even faster speed than before, as several ice swords materialized inside of the domain.
Whoosh~
The ice swords did not remain stationary for long, as they soon flew over towards Xuan Hao where they surrounded him in the shape of a giant icy blue lotus flower.
Boom!
A large explosion occurred as the surrounding chaotic qi on top of the Second Star Peak was drawn over towards the motionless Xuan Hao inside the icy lotus flower made of the ice swords that had been formed from his domain earlier.
The moment that the chaotic qi entered the icy lotus flower, the icy swords that made up the lotus flower began to radiate an icy white glow. Slowly refining the chaotic qi that entered into a more stable and pure qi. Following which, the now pure qi gently began flowing into Xuan who quickly absorbed the pure qi in the middle of the icy lotus flower.
The entire thing happened unconsciously, as Xuan Hao still remained completely focused on the small divine symbols that the blue divine energy was made up of.
Boom!
Like this, Xuan Hao directly managed to break through and reach the Fourth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm with the help of the surrounding chaotic qi being purified and channelled into him, but this was still far from over as the surrounding temperature dropped even further.
By this point, everything on the Second Star Peak was completely frozen.
If someone else saw the current condition of the Second Star Peak's Summit, they would surely think they had entered some kind of icy hell as the temperature was low enough to even freeze someone at the Core Formation Realm to death! Even someone at the Nascent Soul Realm would have to be cautious or they might end up freezing to death as well…
A Nascent Soul Realm Expert freezing to death was simply terrifying. Not so much because the power it displayed, but the fact that the temperature was extreme enough to the degree that it could even affect the soul!
That is not considering the fact that the chaotic qi would end up killing them way before they even reached the summit…
Yet, Xuan Hao remained completely unaffected by all of this as the temperature continued to drop lower and lower with no end in sight…
…
At the same time Xuan Hao was undergoing enlightenment at the Summit of the Second Star Peak, Zhu Lian had just finished up talking with a few of the people who had come over to ask her for guidance after realizing she had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
It was after all, their dream to be like her and break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Increasing their lifespan and at the same time entering the realm of what was considered the strong.
Zhu Lian did not mind this at all, as she had helped all of them by explaining the process she had gone through when reaching the Nascent Soul Realm. Not mentioning the fact that she had been fed a pill by Xuan Hao beforehand that helped her take the final step and officially reach the Nascent Soul Realm. Only mentioning that Xuan Hao had helped drive out the chaotic qi inside her body and helped her recover some strength before she attempted to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.
At least, the group of old people felt motivated after they heard how Zhu Lian had explained the Cloud Tribulation.
The fact that they would experience a leap in power before the Cloud Tribulation arrived, gave many of the old people on the Third Star Peak the courage they needed to try and take the next step and attempt reaching the Nascent Soul Realm before it was too late…
"By the way, if I may be so rude to ask Miss Lian… Who was the person that came to help you out earlier…?"
An older person who had met Zhu Lian before coming to the Third Star Peak stepped forward and asked just as she was about to leave.
"Ah, that was Elder Xuan from the Flying Sword Sect, he came to help me out because a friend of mine entered the Flying Sword Sect as an Elder a month or so ago…" Not finding bothering to hide Xuan Hao's identity as it would only help paint the Flying Sword Sect in a better picture, Zhu Lian answered her old acquaintance without hiding anything.
"He helped you reach the Nascent Soul Realm… Just because of that…?"
"Yes!"
""…""
The surrounding elders who were about to leave and go back to cultivating stopped as they heard what Zhu Lian and her acquaintance were talking about.
Someone would actually help another person reach the Nascent Soul Realm because of something like that… Why didn't any of my friends join the Flying Sword Sect.
Every single person at the Third Star Peak had this thought go through their head as the lamented over the fact that nobody in their friend group had entered the Flying Sword Sect, if they did so, they might also have gotten the help from Elder Xuan and reached the Nascent Soul Realm just like Zhu Lian.
There were even a few of them that had been elders in some weaker sects inside the territory of the Flying Sword Sect that regretted not just joining the Flying Sword Sect.
Even if their position would be lower than the weaker sect they had chosen. At least they would have a better chance at reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.
A few among them even took out their communication talisman and directly contacted a few of their friends outside the Third Star Peak and encouraged them to go and join the Flying Sword Sect.
"…"
Zhu Lian saw all of this and did not know that she had unknowingly increased the image of the Flying Sword Sect in many of these old people's mind. Even to the degree that they would go out of their way to encourage some of their friends outside the Third Star Peak to go over and join the Flying Sword Sect.
There was even one among the old people on the Third Star Peak that contacted his nephew and told him to quit his current sect where he was a Core Disciple and instead try to become an Outer Disciple of the Flying Sword Sect…
"Hah…" Sighing to herself at the sight of this, Zhu Lian was about to leave when she suddenly felt a terrifying aura erupt from the distance.
Looking over towards the direction that she had felt the aura erupt from, Zhu Lian soon realized that the terrifying aura had come from the Second Star Peak!
Something like this had never happened before on the Shattered Star Peaks and immediately caused her to focus on the direction that the aura came from. Only to realize that it came from the Summit of the Second Star Peak.
"W-what is that!?"
"Something is happening at the Second Star Peak!"
"Maybe a peerless natural treasure is about to be born!?"
Zhu Lian was not the only person who noticed the terrifying aura and the changes happening at the summit of the Second Star Peak.
At this point in time, the entire summit was already surround in an icy storm that caused the surroundings to freeze over completely…
"Maybe the reason Elder Xuan came to the Shattered Star Peak has something to do with what is happening at the Second Star Peak…?" Muttering this to herself as she thought about Xuan Hao, Zhu Lian soon relaxed and felt that it made sense.
After all, someone like Xuan Hao would most likely not come to the Shattered Star Peaks just to help her out.
The reason that he showed up should be because he knew something was going to happen at the Second Star Peak!
"No need for me to worry about any of this… After all, even if I wanted to go and see what it is, I have no way to reach the summit of the Second Star Peak without dying to the dense chaotic qi…"
Shaking her head as she looked up at the ice storm that was increasing in strength on the summit of the Second Star Peak, Zhu Lian began wondering what might be happening up there.
The only thing she could think of was a precious ice related spiritual herb maturing or maybe some powerful ice related natural treasure being born.
Either of the two would be more than enough to cause the people looking on from the Third Star Peak to look up towards the icy storm happening at the summit of the Second Star Peak filled with greed.
Sadly, they had no way to scale the Second Star Peak with their current strength. Even someone in the Nascent Soul Realm would die due to the density of the chaotic qi… Let alone someone only at the Core Formation Realm like themselves!
In the end, they could only look up at the icy storm that was happening at the summit of the Second Star Peak.
Unable to go back to cultivating due to the terrifying aura spreading out from the summit of the Second Star Peak making it hard to calm down and cultivate.
