Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1296  Guarding the Border and a "Small" Mountain

As the three ancestors from the Blue Sea Empire remained trapped inside the formation, the three Demon Lord Realm demonic cultivators quickly flew off in the direction of the Onyx Empire before splitting up and disappearing in different directions. Intent on carrying out the task that had been given to them by the demon king, as they understood only death would await them if they refused to do so.

Crack-!

BANG!

And like this a few hours quickly flew by without much happening before the three ancestors of the Blue Sea Empire finally managed to break through the formation that had trapped them, as all three of them used their full strength to attack the Blood Lotus Demon King that had been patiently waiting for them-

BOOOM-!

Soon resulting in the devasting shockwave that Elder Dust Fairy had seen, as the four began to fight with each other. Destroying anything in their path.

Unfortunately for the ancestors of the Blue Sea Empire, they couldn't kill the demon king in front of them, while the Demon Lord Realm demonic cultivators that they had originally planned to kill had long since disappeared.

In the end, as the battle dragged on and several powerful auras appeared from the deeper parts of the Frozen Wasteland, the three could only reluctantly turn around and leave the Frozen Wasteland without accomplishing anything other than killing a bunch of weaker demonic cultivators that could easily be replaced.

"Hmph! Don't think you will get another chance to leave this wasteland again in the future!"

Feeling unsatisfied with this kind of situation, the ancestor that had originally gone to kill the demonic cultivators behind the death of his grandson decided to not fully leave the place, as he directly placed himself at the border between the Onyx Empire and the Frozen Wasteland. Intending to stay behind and kill any demonic cultivator that appeared to calm down his killing intent.

Of course, considering that this wasn't inside the Frozen Wasteland itself, the other two ancestors didn't say anything and just quietly left to inform the other ancestors about what had happened so they could figure out what the demonic cultivators were planning.

More importantly, they also had to figure out how the situation was like with the other empires around them and if they had taken any losses among their Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators. After all, it was clear that the demonic cultivators were planning something big.

Following the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire settling down inside the Onyx Empire, it didn't take long before the Star Shattering Sect and surround small empires found out about what had happened, as the number of demonic cultivators trying to invade their territory sharply decreased with the appearance of the Blue Sea Empire Ancestor.

For some empires that only bordered the Onyx Empire and not the Frozen Wasteland itself, the assault of the demonic cultivators came to full end, while others like the Star Shattering Sect still had to deal with the attack of demonic cultivators coming from other parts of their territory.

Even then, the stress on the Star Shattering Sect itself was reduced to a manageable level, as demonic cultivators stopped coming from the direction of the Onyx Empire and now only came from the opposite direction of the Onyx Empire where the demonic cultivators seemed to be far weaker… And over a short period of time, it became a popular place for the disciples and elders to go for training in combat against the demonic cultivators.

After a few weeks, the Situation in the Star Shattering Sect's territory stabilized and reconstruction of the branch sect that had been destroyed officially began.

The only thing that worried Feng Chen, Elder Song and the rest of the higher ups of the sect was the presence of the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire, who remained at the Onyx Empire's borders with the Frozen Wasteland. Killing any demonic cultivator daring enough to try and cross over.

Although he hadn't really done anything to the Star Shattering Sect, it was still a worrying thing when such a powerful cultivator had decided to settle down next to you. Especially considering that the strength of this cultivator was more than enough to destroy the Star Shattering Sect.

However, the most worrying thing was that he would have a reason to do so if he noticed the existence of Pei Yang or became greedy after seeing the abundant spiritual qi present inside the chaotic qi formation of the Shattered Star Peaks where the main sect of the Star Shattering Sect was located.

Not that there was much the Star Shattering Sect could do other than pray that the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire didn't decide to leave the Onyx Empire and check out the surrounding powers.

…

At the same time back in the mystic realm, Xuan Hao slowly opened his eyes after having remained seated in front of the small mountain with the fourth celestial gate on top of it for the past few weeks.

Having been fully focused on comprehending the formation that protected the small mountain, he had ended up losing track of time in the process.

In the process of doing so, he had not only managed to deepen his understanding of the formation but had also managed to increase his understanding of the Dao of Formations.

Although not to the point where he broke through to the Large Success Realm, he was at least one step closer to reaching the Large Success Realm and should be able to reach it if he decided to spend another few months in front of the ancient formation guarding the small mountain.

A terrifying comprehension speed, but ultimately not what he planned on using his time on at the moment, as his goal for now was to complete a celestial trial and get his hands on the scroll containing information on the Dao Domain Lord Realm.

After having done that, he could always return to comprehend the ancient formation for a few months and reach the Large Success Realm in the Dao of Formations.

The main reason for his confidence in being able to return and comprehend the formation in the future came from the fact that the ancient formation guarding the small mountain wasn't hostile in any way nor would it be trapping him upon entering it.

Instead, he had managed to learn that the sole purpose of the formation was to protect the small mountain from any attacks that might damage it… And only if he tried to damage the small mountain would the ancient formation guarding it activate and possibly trap him in the process.

As long as he didn't do any of this and just peacefully entered the formation and made his way to the fourth celestial gate, everything would be fine.

The only problem was that the ancient guardian formation seemed to view even the slightest movement of spiritual qi as damaging the natural environment of the small mountain. Essentially meaning that he would be forced to seal his cultivation base before entering the range of the formation.

Even though doing this wouldn't affect the strange of his physical body and he would still be able to almost instantaneously undo the seal if he encountered any dangerous situation inside, it also meant that he would be limited to walking normally up the small mountain without using any strength above what a normal mortal could do. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Though it might not be that much of a problem to climb up the mountain in this kind of manner, the small mountain was only small in terms of cultivators. For a normal mortal, the small mountain was already like a giant piercing through the sky. Standing over ten thousand meters tall.

Even if there was a path to follow, it would still take a few days to reach the summit where the fourth celestial gate was located…

"Haaa… Nothing to do about it if I want to reach the fourth celestial gate without having to try and force my way through the formation." Muttering this to himself as he looked up at the now towering mountain and the summit that now loomed far above him, Xuan Hao spent the next few minutes sealing off his own cultivation base.

Making sure that no spiritual qi leaked out from his body before he stepped on to the long path leading up the mountain towards summit where the cave with the fourth celestial gate inside of it was located.

At the very least, although the formation seemed to react to his dao domain. Preventing him from flying up, it didn't react to his divine sense. Allowing him to fully explore the mountain and continue comprehending the ancient formation as he slowly made his way towards the summit.

In the process, he noticed that his comprehension speed of the Dao of Formation did increase by a bit after entering the formation, but it had nothing to do with the mountain, but more so the fact that he could now personally feel the formation with his own body.
