Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough-Novel

Chapter 622 Spirit Chess

Returning back to the Flying Sword Sect, Xuan Hao quickly found Elder Song just having finished talking with a group of elders in the Flying Sword City located just outside the sect, as he was making his way back.

Even without knowing what he had been talking about, Xuan Hao could easily guess that it had something to do with what would happen with the Flying Sword City now that most of the people from the Flying Sword Sect, except a few people left to manage the old sect, would be leaving soon.

Given the fact that most of the people living inside the Flying Sword City were all somewhat related to someone from the Flying Sword Sect, there was no way Elder Song wouldn't come up with a way to possibly move these people to the new and growing city located at the base of the Ninth Star Peak.

Although the city located at the base of the Ninth Star Peak was still far smaller than the current Flying Sword City and there was no way for it to house if everyone from the Flying Sword City moved over there… Not to mention, the Spring Flower Sect would most likely also be in a similar situation!

If the city at the base of the Ninth Star Peak wanted to house both all these people, it would have to at least grow to twice the size of the current Flying Sword City… Something that would at least take a few years. Even with the current speed that the city was growing.

Whoosh~

Not bothering to think too much about this, as Elder Song should have already thought about a solution for this problem, Xuan Hao descended from the sky and landed a few meters in front of Elder Song who had just stepped into the Flying Sword Sect.

"Elder Xuan? Is there something I can help with?"

Seeing Xuan Hao suddenly appear in front of him, Elder Song was not surprised and instead just showed a curious expression while asking him. Wondering why Xuan Hao had come to see him.

"Actually, I do have to something to talk to you about… Can we go to my pavilion and talk…?" Thinking that it would be taking quite some time to convince Elder Song, Xuan Hao said this as he signalled towards his pavilion barely visible in the distance.

"Hm? Sure, let's get going!" Feeling that it might be something serious after hearing what Xuan Hao said, Elder Song quickly put on a serious face before both of them headed towards Xuan Hao's pavilion.

What followed, could easily be considered the most painful time in Xuan Hao's life so far, as he informed him about the qi rich water before trying his best to convince him about not using it for the next few months…

In the end, Song Jia who just so happened to be currently staying at his pavilion to play with Qing Yi. Ended up being his saviour, as she overheard their discussion and jumped in to help him convince Elder Song to hold back on using the qi rich water for the next few months!

For some reason, with Song Jia's help, Elder Song had almost instantaneously agreed to not using the qi rich water before it had filled up the lake… Song Jia truly had far more power over Elder Song compared to him…

If not for Song Jia's help, Xuan Hao was almost certain that he would have been unable to convince Elder Song!

After he had managed to convince Elder Song through Song Jia's help, Xuan Hao didn't stay at the Flying Sword Sect for long. Spending a short time playing together with both Song Jia and Qing Yi, who were playing a game called spirit chess.

The game itself was similar to the chess he already knew when it was just two people playing. However, it was still different from the chess he knew, a simple example would be the fact that the pieces got all sorts of special abilities, one of which was called hell storm that would cause a small fire to sweep through the board it was played on and reduce any pieces in its path to dust…

"Well, I will have to get going, I still have something to do back at the Shattered Star Peaks-"

"Master… Are you just saying this because you lost…?"

About to take his leave, Xuan Hao could not help frowning upon hearing what his disciple said.

Looking down at the spirit chess board that showed a complete victory for one side, while the other had been completely erased without even taking a single of the victor's pieces, Xuan Hao could not help feeling his frown deepen even further.

"Ah, don't leave yet, I promise I will not win too quickly next time!"

Hearing Song Jia saying this as she jumped in from the side and looked towards him with a pitiful expression, Xuan Hao had no idea what to say as he felt like a sword had been stabbed through his chest for some reason.

"No, I have to go, if I delay any further, it might cause problems for the rest of the elders!"

Swish-!

Not giving Qing Yi and Song Jia any time to respond, Xuan Hao flew into the sky and disappeared after saying this.

For some reason, he had a feeling that saying for any longer would end up being seriously damaging to his mental state.

…

Having made his way back to the Shattered Star Peaks, Xuan Hao did not go back to the Seventh Star Peak, but instead headed directly for the Main Star Peak.

Back when he had created the chaotic qi formation, he had sealed off the Main Star Peak and the Second Star Peak with it. The main reason why he had sealed the Second Star Peak, was because not only was it dangerous, but he also didn't really want anyone to know about the blue divine energy present there.

After all, given his current strength, he had a feeling that the people who could potentially be interested in absorbing something like the blue divine energy… Would be far stronger than himself!

The Main Star Peak on the other hand not only had the large rock filled with the blue divine energy that had most likely been the reason for the other eight star peaks current conditions, but there was also the fact that he had not explored the place fully yet.

The formation he had been trapped inside of the first time he made his way onto the Main Star Peak, the winged lion demon beast and the pagoda, was more than enough for him to understand that someone should have stayed on top of the Main Star Peak in the past… And that person had most likely been the target of the huge rock filled with blue divine energy!

Even if that person was no longer alive, Xuan Hao did not doubt the fact that all kinds of dangers could still be present on the Main Star Peak. For this reason, he had left back then without exploring any further.

Now that he could be considered to have enough strength to fight against someone at the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm, Xuan Hao wanted to try and explore this place again!

If things ended up getting too dangerous, he could always leave and come back later when his strength had increased even further.

Whoosh~

With this thought in mind, Xuan Hao passed through the thin barrier formed around the Main Star Peak by the massive rock filled with blue divine energy.

Rustle~

Landing on the ground beside the massive rock filled with the blue divine energy, Xuan Hao narrowed his eyes as the bush not too far away from him suddenly began moving before a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"You are… The blue deer from back then…?" Muttering this, Xuan Hao watched the familiar looking blue deer happily stomping the ground before running over to him.

Thump Thump!

It was only when the blue deer had made it all the way over to him that Xuan Hao realized that it had already grown many times larger compared to when he had last seen it.

If it had been only half a meter in height before, it was now over one meter in height! The growth rate of the blue deer was simply incredible. Especially considering the fact that it had not only grown in height, but its cultivation realm had also increased. Reaching the Core Formation Realm!

Not only that, but he also noticed that a small pair of antlers had appeared on top of its head.

"Hm?"

Looking even more closely, Xuan Hao discovered that small dragon-like scales had appeared all over its body…

Why do I have a feeling that you are not just a blue deer…?

Thinking this to himself, Xuan Hao soon shook his head. Even if he wanted to find out what race the blue deer in front of him belonged to, he had no way to find out.
