As his two disciples were trying to find a way for them to reach the Pure Heart Island, Xuan Hao was making his way up the Main Peak of the Nine Star Peaks.
The journey up the mountain was calm and relaxed for the most part. Only begging to grow more difficult after he reached the height where the summit of the Second Star Peak was located.
At that height, the chaotic qi seemed to have undergone a change of some sort, as it became difficult for even Xuan Hao to advance forward. The chaotic qi forcing him to use his two domains together to protect him from it infiltrating his body and injuring him.
Slowing down, Xuan Hao could not help but feel how terrifying the chaotic qi truly was!
Looking up towards the clouds obscuring the peak of the Main Peak, Xuan Hao began to doubt whether he would even be able to make his way up there in the first place. The increasing pressure from the chaotic qi in the air made it harder and harder for him to move forward and Xuan Hao doubted that he would even have been able to reach his current height in the past before obtaining his new Ice Domain.
Thinking about this, Xuan Hao realized that the only reason why he could continue forward was due to the fact that he had two different domains to help support him and keep the increasingly scary chaotic qi out of his body and dantian. Preventing it from wreaking havoc inside of him.
Whoosh~
A cold wind blew past him, causing Xuan Hao to shiver for a short moment as he felt the chaotic qi increase in strength once again.
This continued on as Xuan Hao slowly managed to make his way up the Main Peak, soon standing directly in front of the weird clouds that were hiding the summit from being seen by anyone looking on from below.
"Hah…"
Taking a deep breath, Xuan Hao used both his domains to their limit before walking headfirst into the weird clouds obscuring the Main Peak…
…
Walking into the weird cloud, Xuan Hao suddenly felt himself being pushed forward. Soon finding himself in front of what could only be described as a giant version of the blue rocks that he had found on the Second Star Peak's summit.
"W-what is this!?"
Not knowing what to say as he felt an enormous pressure suddenly engulf him, Xuan Hao quickly retreated a few hundred feet away from the giant blue rock before catching his breath.
The pressure given off by the giant blue rock seemed to only cover the few dozen meters around the rock itself, but the pressure alone was more than enough for Xuan Hao to feel the threat of death the longer he remained, as both his domains were slowly cracking apart under the pressure of the giant blue rock.
"Is this perhaps the star that fell in the past…?"
Looking over at the giant blue rock easily large enough to be considered a small hill with its size, Xuan Hao felt like calling it a rock was not suitable.
Rustle~
Hearing some movement behind him when he was wondering over what to call the giant rock in front of him, Xuan Hao spotted a small blue deer without any cultivation appear from some foliage that had grown around the mountain peak.
"Hm? The chaotic qi is gone…?"
It was only at this moment that Xuan Hao realized the fact that the terrifying chaotic qi was no longer around. Instead, being replaced by a weird energy that reminded Xuan Hao of the blue divine energy he had studied earlier. The only thing missing was the part where it could freeze even him to death if he came into contact with it…
Heck, even a random deer could survive with the weird energy around. Showing no side effect up other than the fact that it had turned blue…
Lowering his guard as he no longer exerted his two domains to their limits, Xuan Hao felt at ease. Finally capable of moving around normally, without having to use both his domains to keep the chaotic qi from invading his body.
The energy that had take up the place of the chaotic qi also did not seem to be harmful in the slightest as Xuan Hao absorbed a tiny amount of it into his body to check its effects.
Instead, the blue energy seemed to replace qi. Easily being refined and turned into pure qi inside of his dantian before Xuan Hao fully absorbed it!
While not as useful as the chaotic qi that he had ended up refining and absorbing at the summit of the Second Star Peak, Xuan Hao still felt that the weird blue energy was far more useful to cultivate with compared to the qi back in the Flying Sword Sect.
More importantly than that, it was easy to absorb and even someone only at the Qi Condensation Realm would be capable of absorbing the weird blue energy to increase their cultivation speed!
The chaotic qi might be more useful to Xuan Hao due to the fact that he was able to refine it, but for someone weaker than him, it would just be seeking death to absorb chaotic qi on the Second Star Peak's summit…
Someone below his strength would definitely benefit way more from absorbing the weird blue energy on the Main Peak… The only problem for them would be reaching the Main Peak.
Even Xuan Hao doubted that he would be able to take someone up to the Main Peak with him given his current strength and how hard it had been to reach for him alone in the first place…
"The weird blue energy seems to be coming from the blue rock…"
Focusing on the weird blue energy, Xuan Hao soon followed the direction it came from and soon found out that the giant blue rock the size of a small hill was the culprit behind the energy on the Main Peak.
The weird blue energy seemed to be slowly leaking out from the giant blue rock. Slowly having filling up the area of the Main Peak…
Xuan Hao also felt that the clouds surrounding the Main Peak had something weird going on about them.
Looking at it from the inside, Xuan Hao felt that the weird clouds were in place to keep the chaotic qi out and keep the weird blue energy inside.
In a sense the clouds could be considered a natural formation of sorts that kept the weird blue energy inside and protected it along with the blue deer from the chaotic qi.
After all, if the chaotic qi could enter, Xuan Hao was certain that the blue deer and the other living creatures that might be present at the Main Peak would soon die off.
The chaotic qi was strong to the point that even Xuan Hao struggled to keep it out with his Sword Intent Domain and Ice Domain working together… There was no way a blue deer without any cultivation would be able to survive under such terrifying circumstances!
"I wonder if there is anything other than the blue rock up here… From what happened at the other eight peaks, it looks like there has been someone else living at the Shattered Star Peaks in the past."
Muttering this to himself as he looked towards the lush forest that seemed to cover the Main Peak, Xuan Hao felt himself grow curious.
Someone who was able to live on the Shattered Star Peaks before it was destroyed by the blue rock in the past, was way stronger than any power Xuan Hao had seen before!
There might even have been someone above the Domain Lord Realm present!
Thinking about this, Xuan Hao could not help but grow excited at the thought of finding the inheritance of an expert above the Domain Lord Realm.
Given the fact that nobody had reached the Second Star Peak in the past few thousand years since the rock had destroyed it along with the other seven Star Peaks, Xuan Hao was almost certain that nobody should have reached the Main Peak before him!
This meant that he would be the only person to have reached the Main Peak over the last thousand or so years!
All he could do now, was hope that nobody had reached the Main Peak before the blue rock had fallen from above…
If that was really the case, then…
Roar!
Not waiting around for any longer, Xuan Hao only took a single step forward before a terrifying roar sounded out in the distance.
Instantly causing him to freeze on the spot. The roar was clearly coming from a demon beast, and it was by no means a weak demon beast!
Rustle~
Following the roar, Xuan Hao heard the sound of something large approaching him at a terrifying speed.
ROAR!
Before Xuan Hao even managed to comprehend what had happened, a large demon beast slowly appeared in front of him.
