Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

The aura of a Nascent Soul Realm Expert was way weaker compared to the sword qi that had appeared earlier, but even then, it shocked all of the cultivators present.

Xuan Hao was already in the Nascent Soul Realm before his enlightenment, so him being stronger than someone who had just reached the Nascent Soul Realm was expected.

What shocked them was the fact that someone actually managed to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm! This had only happened one time before and that person had already reached the middle stages of the Nascent Soul Realm by now!

For another Nascent Soul Realm Expert to appear on the Third Star Peak, there would surely be a swarm of new people coming to try their luck on top of the Third Star Peak, like what had happened in the past when the now elder of the Seven Fates Sect reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

Xuan Hao saw the small silver cloud merging together with the newly born Nascent Soul inside of the elderly man as a new and strong vitality spread through his body, making him look full of energy once again, even with his elderly appearance.

The silver cloud tribulation was a relatively ordinary one as most people breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm either experienced the silver cloud tribulation or the slightly inferior bronze cloud tribulation.

The cloud tribulations were each divided up into the bronze, silver and finally gold cloud tribulation. The gold cloud tribulation being the hardest to overcome with the most benefits, while the bronze cloud tribulation was the worst with little chance for improvement after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

The quality of tribulation that one would experience upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm was dependent on how strong the foundation was. Most people experienced the silver cloud tribulation, while those going through the bronze cloud tribulation was mostly people who reached the Nascent Soul Realm through the help of pills or other external methods.

Back when Xuan Hao had gone through the cloud tribulation in the past his tribulation was of course the golden cloud tribulation. In the Flying Sword Sect, only the Sect Master had also gone through the golden cloud tribulation like him and even then, the golden cloud tribulation could also be divided even further into strong and weak ones.

Watching as the elderly man slowly calmed down and looked around himself with both wonder and happiness in his eyes, Xuan Hao decided not to disturb him as the elderly man enjoyed the feeling of his newfound strength after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

Focusing on both his disciples still focused on their cultivation completely oblivious to the outside world, Xuan Hao saw that both of them had managed to grasp the opportunity and improve. All they needed was a small push before reaching the next minor realm.

But doing so here would not be a good idea… After all, the purifying effect brought about whenever you constructed another pillar inside your dantian was not really something you wanted to experience in public, especially not if you were a girl like Qing Yi…

Just as Xuan Hao was debating on whether or not he should wake up his disciples to prevent them from going through the body cleansing in public, the qi on top of the Third Star Peak suddenly became chaotic and violent once again, causing a few people to wake up from their cultivation immediately upon sensing the change in the qi they were absorbing.

Qing Yi and Chu Yang were the same as both opened their eyes and look around themselves with a confused expression on their face. Not really understanding what had just happened to the formerly abundant calm qi that could be absorbed and refined with almost no effort from their side.

”It seems like both of you benefited quite a bit from the trip and are both close to breaking through, we should get back to the sect again so you can focus on breaking through in peace.” Seeing both of them had finally woken up from their earlier meditation, Xuan Hao informed both of them.

”Master! What happened earlier?! All the qi suddenly became calm, and we could easily cultivate without any of the demerits from the from the formerly violent and chaotic qi! Was it perhaps because master gained enlightenment that the qi calmed down!?” Qing Yi almost jumped up as she excitedly asked Xuan Hao with curious look in her eyes.

”Calm down a bit first.” Chuckling a bit at the excited appearance of Qing Yi, Xuan Hao reminded her as her excitement was a little too much for him at the moment.

Maybe I should be stricter with her in the future, or else I will never have a quiet and docile disciple in the future… What happened to her, compared to how calm and shy she was in the beginning, she has way too much energy now!

”Yes master…” Stopping in place, Qing Yi looked a bit guilty as she spotted Chu Yang from the corner of her eye smiling from where he was sitting on the ground in her direction.

”…” Narrowing her eyes and starring back at him, Chu Yang realized that he was spotted and did not shrink back like he would in the past and instead met Qing Yi’s gaze.

”I will go over and talk to the elder who just reached the Nascent Soul Realm, you two can talk to each other about what you gained from earlier with each other while I’m gone.” Seeing both of his disciples sending different kind of looks to each other while ignoring the fact that he could see what both of them were doing, Xuan Hao decided to just go over and talk with the elderly man who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Who was he to get in the way of the young ones?

Thinking this, Xuan Hao made his way over towards the elderly man who had just reached the Nascent Soul Realm. Not realizing his train of thought was a bit wrong considering his own age.

Qing Yi and Chu Yang realized that their master had seen what they had done and quickly agreed in a slightly embarrassed manner as they slowly thought about how their master might have seen their earlier behaviour.

”Ah!”

Both Qing Yi and Chu Yang felt a slight panic at that moment. No matter what, they would not be able to endure if their master started thinking that both of them were interested in each other in that way!

What if their master started trying to ’help’ them!?
