Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough-Novel

Chapter 131: Towards the Third Star Peak

The path leading down from the Ninth Star Peak and deeper into the Shattered Star Peaks, was way more deserted compared to the path leading to the lush forest at the summit of the Ninth Star Peak.

The reason for this was that the other Star Peaks did not have any special or unique herbs growing at them in abundance like the Ninth Star Peak, other than that, the violent qi at the other Star Peaks were more violent and chaotic compared to the Ninth Star Peak.

The few who did make their way over the Ninth Star Peak and towards one of the other Star Peaks, were most of the time people coming to sightsee the area, but most of them were people who came to try and breakthrough here as a last resort.

After all, while the qi on top of the Shattered Star Peaks were more violent and chaotic compared to the normal qi on the ground, it was also denser and closer to heaven. Allowing a cultivator to have a greater chance at having a breakthrough, even if the violent qi would end up harming them a bit in the process…

Xuan Hao glanced a bit around at the people passing by and noticed that most of the people going to the other Star Peaks were of the elderly generation… Even if you could breakthrough with help of the denser qi at the Peaks in the Shattered Star Peaks, you would still end up having your dantian damaged in the process.

For this reason, most of the people willing to go to the Shattered Star Peaks looking for an opportunity to reach the next realm were those from the elder generation at the end of their lifespan, with no other alternative available to them.

The Third Star Peak had even gotten the reputation of being a sacred resting ground for many, as the elderly cultivators at the end of their life would go up there in an attempt to either reach the Nascent Soul Realm or Core Formation Realm and in turn increase their lifespan or pass away trying.

Out of all the cultivators who went up the Third Star Peak to try their luck in breaking through to the next realm, only few people had succeeded over the years.

Among them were Foundation Establishment cultivators who managed to reach the Core Formation Realm, while there was only one who managed to surpass the others before him.

That person had managed to reach the Nascent Soul Realm! Later on the person had joined the Seven Fates Sect and ended up becoming one of the seven fate elders! The weakest person among the seven fate elders of the Seven Fates Sect was said to have reached the fourth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

This meant that the person who reached the Nascent Soul Realm at the Third Star Peak had managed to progress further than just the three lowest stages of the Nascent Soul Realm and had managed to reach the fourth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm!

When this news was a hot topic a few hundred years ago, it had apparently caused a flock of old people at the brink of death to swarm the Third Star Peak looking for a breakthrough.

In the end, most of the elderly people going up the Third Star Peak back then never returned and those who did were the ones that gave up after reaching the summit of the Third Star Peak and felt how violent and chaotic the qi up there truly was.

Xuan Hao looked into the distance and saw the Third Star peak towering above the clouds as he started wondering a bit to himself.

Where had the corpses of all the elderly people who ended up passing away over the years go?

"Master are we going to visit any of the other Star Peaks as well?" Shaking him out of his train of thought, Chu Yang walked a little closer to Xuan Hao as he asked.

"No, we won't be going to any of the other Star Peaks for today and both of you are still only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so staying at the Shattered star Peaks for too long will be harmful to you." Saying this, Xuan Hao saw both of his disciple's nod in understanding as they had already started to feel the effect that the violent qi had on them.

At the moment this feeling of pain inside of their dantian was trivial, but over time it would grow stronger and stronger until it became unbearable for them.

Xuan Hao knew that this would happen over time to them, but he had planned to leave the Shattered Star Peaks way before it started to become painful for them.

After all, he did not come to the Shattered Star Peaks to torture his disciples...!

Like this time passed by quickly and soon Xuan Hao and his two disciples finally made it to the bottom of the Ninth Star Peak. Only Reaching this far could they be considered to have truly entered the Shattered Star Peaks.

Many considered it a requirement to first climb the Ninth Star peak and make their way to the other side of the lush forest on the summit and down the path leading to the bottom of the Ninth star Peak inside the Shattered Star Peak.

The reason for this was that one could not climb any of the other Nine Star Peaks unless you first passed over the Ninth Star Peak and followed the already carved path.

Of course, someone at the Nascent Soul Realm could ignore this restriction and just directly enter the Shattered Star Peaks and climb up whatever Star Peak they wanted.

Below the Ninth Star Peak was a rocky mountain terrain with a few bits of vegetation here and there.

The path leading through the Shattered Star Peaks continued forward for a bit and later split up into eight directions, each leading to one of the remaining eight Star Peaks.

Glancing down at the ancient path starting to look more and more worn out the deeper they went into the Shattered Star Peaks; Xuan Hao made his way towards the Third Star Peak together with Qing Yi and Chu Yang.
