Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

I should check out the little bit still left of the third exchange hall in this place and see if I can find something useful…

Glancing in the direction of the few parts of the third exchange hall that had been floating through the empty void in front of him, Xuan Hao jumped up and flew towards the closest piece of land still floating in the void.

Considering that there wasn’t any aura present outside of the one that should have belonged to the elder of the Mirage Sect, he didn’t feel any fear doing this, as the presence of the robe that had been handed to him by the elder in question also carried some hints of that aura. Allowing him to fearlessly move through the void without any worries.

Not just that, but he could also feel that the remnants still left lingering in the void moved to protect him.

”Looks like I won’t have to worry about anything dangerous happening…” Chuckling as he felt this, Xuan Hao soon landed at the land that had been closest to the spatial passage he had come through.

Although it had been severely damaged and the building still left standing on it had essentially been torn in half, Xuan Hao didn’t let that discourage him as he flew inside the building. Not wasting any time as he searched through the entire place.

Unfortunately, even though it didn’t seem like the space of the third exchange hall had been targeted during the attack back then due to the absence of the third exchange hall itself, it looked like everything that had been left behind was damaged to some extent during the movement of the third exchange hall.

Though there might not have been a lot of damage and the scrolls, or other precious materials would have been able to survive for a long time without any disturbance floating motionlessly in the void, the preservation formations that would have ensured they remained intact far beyond their normal shelf time had been destroyed when the third exchange hall had been forcefully moved.

In the end, the scroll and books crumbled with time and the few precious materials that had been left behind similarly eroded due to the lack of spiritual qi in the air inside the empty space. The qi gathering formations that would normally have filled this space long since having perished during the battle that should have taken place back then.

”I hope at least some of the smaller preservation formations managed to survive. At least considering that this place wasn’t attacked, it should be more likely to find something here compared to the other places.” Shaking his head as he muttered this to himself while looking towards the dozen or so other pieces of land still left floating in the void, Xuan Hao didn’t waste any time as he flew over to search through them.

Hoping that his thoughts about the place would be accurate and he would have the chance to find a storage room for scrolls or precious materials that had managed to survive the movement of the third exchange hall.

Not anything large, just a small room would do.

Be it precious materials or scroll recording ancient techniques or records of the past, a small intact room would be able to allow the strength of the Star Shattering Sect to rapidly increase…

Thump~

Thinking this to himself as he landed at the second and by far the largest piece of still intact land floating inside the space that had once housed the third exchange hall, Xuan Hao stepped forward and entered the rather large tower like structure on the floating land.

From past explorations of the other two exchange halls, he knew that this tower should have originally been connected to the exchange hall through a long path outside the exchange hall itself.

However, every other exchange hall he had visited so far, this tower had been completely obliterated. Leaving nothing behind but a pile of rubble and a few traces of what had once been.

Because of this, the tower was also the thing that Xuan Hao looked the most forward to exploring, as it seemed to be a fully intact building without any sign of damage. Meaning that the preservation formation inside it might still be intact!

With that in mind, Xuan Hao didn’t waste any time as he made his way over the entrance of the tower-

Whoosh-!

However, before he even had a chance to enter the tower, a familiar looking preservation golem appeared in front of the door leading into the tower.

Not just that but compared to the other preservation golems that he had encountered so far, the one standing in front of the tower was completely intact without any damage. Confirming his guess that the tower had managed to remain fully intact due to not being directly attached to the exchange hall itself.

Normally this would not have mattered if the exchange hall had been attacked, but given that the exchange hall wasn’t attack, the tower had managed to survive and even seemed to still function like it should have done in the past before the fall of the Mirage Sect.

Lost in his own thoughts as he kept looking at the preservation golem in front of him, the preservation golem suddenly stepped forward. ”Tier three trial participant, would you like to enter the Exchange Hall, Tower of Secrets?”

”Huh? Tower of Secrets?” Taken aback, Xuan Hao could not help muttering this to himself as he stared at the preservation golem filled with confusion at the sudden question.

”New trial participant detected; would you like an explanation of the Tower of Secrets?”

”Yes.” Hearing the words of the preservation golem, Xuan Hao quickly calmed down as he nodded his head. Remembering that the main purpose of the preservation golems was just to act as guides and help the trial participants of the celestial trials… And the preservation golem in front of him should be one such preservation golem in charge of the place called the Tower of Secrets.

”Acknowledged, the Tower of Secrets is one of the main exchange locations for the Exchange Hall. Inside the Tower of Secrets, you can exchange celestial coins granted through the completion of the celestial trials for different movement and combat techniques stored inside the Tower of Secrets.”

”I see… But how do I get these celestial coins? I don’t remember getting anything like that after completing a celestial trial…” Frowning slightly as he said this, Xuan Hao could not help thinking that he might have ended up leaving behind the so-called celestial coins mentioned by the preservation golem by accident because he didn’t know what it was.

”Celestial Coins are awarded for anyone completing the celestial trials. Would you like to view your current progress and celestial coins trial participant?”

”Yes.”

Swish-!

Already familiar with the how the examination of the preservation golems was done due to his first experience encountering one of them, Xuan Hao wasn’t as shocked when it easily passed through his dao domain and directly appeared in front of him this time around.

Instead, it only made him more amazed over the strength of these preservation golems, while also making him certain that it would be best not to do anything that caused them to attack him.

”Initial examination will begin now, please do stand still during this process as movement might cause inaccuracies in the examination.” Hearing the familiar instructions, Xuan Hao remained still as he waited for the examination to finish.

”Examination has been completed; would you like me to list your current progress?”

”Yes.”

”Confirmation of trial participant granted; I will now list your current progress in the Celestial Trials…” Not wasting a single second after hearing Xuan Hao’s response, the golem began speaking again.

”… Cultivation realm of trial participant, Late Stage Dao Domain Lord, number of trials completed, 3, requirement to enter Tower of Secrets at the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, 3, faction, no information available. Trial participant has been granted temporary elder status and can freely access any exchange hall without normal limitations. Total available celestial coins, 7. No more information can be gathered on the trial participant.

It is recommended that the trial participant buys knowledge regarding the Dao Domain Lord Realm if the elders of the trial participant haven’t informed the trial participant. Information on the Dao Domain Lord Realm can be found at the second floor of the Tower of Secrets.”

”Huh? Information on the Dao Domain Lord Realm!?” Hearing what the preservation golem said, Xuan Hao could not help exclaiming out loud with a shocked expression on his face. Never having expected the preservation golem to directly mention information on the Dao Domain Lord Realm, something he really needed at the moment given his lack of knowledge on how to reach the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm.

After all, a guess was still just a guess and couldn’t compare to real knowledge from someone who had managed to reach the realm!
