Chapter 135: Breakthrough! To the Nascent Soul Realm?
As the rest of the people were absorbed in their own cultivation, Xuan Hao felt himself gaining a deeper understanding of the world as he felt himself getting immersed in a brand-new world.
Comprehending the Dao was something that one could only hope for.
In that moment, when his thoughts, the environment and everything else around him all fused together, he was able to touch a hint of the Dao for the first time. But in order for that to happen in the first place… The prerequisite was that one would have to reach the state of becoming one with the world.
Only after one’s mind managed to completely become one with the world, was one capable of touching upon the Dao and start comprehending it.
Night descended upon the Third Star Peak, and the many elderly cultivators along with Xuan Hao’s two disciples were both in deep meditation as the formerly violent qi seemed to have completely turned docile. Not harming anyone and instead assisting them in their cultivation.
Soon the first rays of light came from the east as the people on top of the Third Star Peak slowly woke up and discovered that they had managed to improve by leaps and bounds with only a single day and night of cultivating.
As the rest of the cultivators on the Third Star Peak slowly woke up from their meditation, Rays of sword qi began to surround Xuan Hao, still seated on the ground.
First, some rays of black light appeared, slowly forming one sword after another around him. One sword after another surrounded Xuan Hao as the spectators looked on with shock as the entire Third Star Peak slowly filled up with the swords formed by the black light.
But this was only the begging as immediately afterwards, dots of pure white light began to gather as well, forming into pure white swords as well.
Two colours of swords, one white and one black, floated around the Third Star Peak as a terrifying sword qi erupted from them before quickly disappearing again. Making the people present feel like they never appeared in the first place.
Currently, Xuan Hao felt like the world in front of him had completely changed as he felt the changes brought about by the sudden enlightenment had allowed him to start grasping his domain even before reaching the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm! Even then, it was still the half complete domain of a half-step Domain Lord and not a complete domain.
Thinking about it, his current strength should have surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm and only those at the half-step Domain Lord Realm should be able to pose a threat to the current him.
Other than that, his cultivation had also increased from the sixth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm and reached the seventh stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Opening his eyes and seeing both his disciples still deep in meditation, Xuan Hao decided not to disturb them as he turned around and looked at the other people present at the Third Star Peak.
At the moment, most of the people cultivating had still not woken up yet as they were still trying to breakthrough to the next realm, but the few that had managed to wake up by now all looked at Xuan Hao filled with awe.
From the strength of the sword qi that the black and white swords excluded earlier, they were certain that the person in front of them was someone at the Nascent Soul Realm!
It had to be said that many of the elderly cultivators present dreamed of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm as the increase in lifespan was enormous compared to the small increase one got in the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation Realm!
But even if they wanted to, reaching the Nascent Soul Realm was too difficult for most and remained a mere dream till the day they passed away.
BOOM!
Just as everyone was focusing on Xuan Hao, a violent explosion occurred as all the qi on top of the Third Star Peak mobilized and flew in the direction of a certain elderly man sitting with his eyes closed in a lotus position on top of a lotus flower platform together with his friends.
This was the elderly man that Xuan Hao and his two disciples had met earlier on their way up the Third Star Peak and later talked with his disciples when Xuan Hao was going through enlightenment.
At this moment inside of the elderly man’s dantian, his core was slowly showing cracks as an endless stream of qi from the outside world streamed into the core, causing it to grow more and more unstable.
The elderly man focused all his attention on his core as the it started to break apart, revealing a small soul shining in all kinds of different colours inside. This was the Nascent Soul of the elderly man!
It had just been born and was extremely weak, at the moment that the Nascent Soul was born a silver cloud filled with an unfathomable aura appeared inside the dantian of the elderly man.
The silver cloud slowly flew over and merged together with the Nascent Soul as it grew stronger and started growing extremely unstable to the point that it was close to collapsing at any moment.
This could be considered the tribulation that a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would go through upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm for the first time. The tribulation was known as the silver cloud tribulation.
If the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator endured and successfully merged his newly born Nascent Soul with the silver cloud, he could be considered to have reached the Nascent Soul realm.
On the other hand, If the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator did not endure the strengthening, his soul would perish, and he would die…
The elderly man started sweating profusely as he focused all his attention on merging his newly born Nascent Soul together with the silver cloud.
Like this, a few hours passed with the elderly man trying his best to merge the silver cloud and newly born Nascent Soul together into one.
“Haha… I succeeded!” Followed by the happy exclamation of the elderly man, the aura of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator slowly spread out with him at the centre.
