Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough-Novel

Chapter 1139  Shocked Pei Yang

Huh? This is-!?

Only after crossing the spiritual herb fields on top of the Ninth Star Peak did Pei Yang calm down enough to notice the qi between heaven and earth.

"To think the qi in here is so dense… Even when I visited the capital city of the Blue Sea Empire in the past, it was nowhere near as dense as this. Maybe only the place where those Celestial Immortals cultivate can compare to this…" Unconsciously muttering this to himself with a sense of awe present on his face, Pei Yang became even more certain than before that the Star Shattering Sect had a Pseudo Saint Realm Formation Master.

In his eyes, this was the only thing that could describe the terrifying guardian formation and the qi gathering formation that should be covering the Shattered Star Peaks.

The only problem was that he had no clue how the Star Shattering Sect had managed to get their hands on a Pseudo Saint Realm Formation Master. After all, the ones who could reach the Pseudo Saint Realm in their profession were highly sought after by the different powers in the core region, there would be no reason for them to settle down in a sect like the Star Shattering Sect that was located in outer edges of the continent right next to the Frozen Wastelands.

Not to mention, the formation master who had set up the formations of the Star Shattering Sect was not just a Pseudo Saint Realm Formation Master, but one that had reached the Late Stage of the Pseudo Saint Realm!

In the eyes of the cultivation world, an existence like that was rarer than that of a Celestial Immortal and only a few existed across the entire continent. Most of them having been absorbed by the larger powers at the core of the continent while a few eccentric ones wandered the continent searching for an opportunity to breakthrough to the Saint Realm, a realm that nobody had managed to reach since ancient times.

"Huh!?"

However, his shock didn't end there, as he soon spotted a few of the elders from the half spirit race on their way to the spiritual herb fields.

Considering the fact that the current continent was dominated by humans, Pei Yang had never seen any intelligent races outside of the human race and some of the stronger demon beasts he had encountered during his travels across the continent.

For this reason, he could only freeze on the spot with a face of disbelief as he watched the elders from the half spirit race walk past them. Not knowing how to react upon suddenly encountering someone from a race, he had only heard vague tales about in tales describing the past.

Not to mention, the different large powers on the continent had clearly issued an order that any of these races were to be killed on the spot if found, as they posed an existential threat to the humans on the continent.

"They're from the half spirit race, they are part of the Star Shattering Sect, you don't have to worry about them, they are harmless and not too different compared to humans. Outside of the fact that their size is a bit smaller." Noticing the different emotions flashing past Pei Yang's face, Xuan Hao decided to reassure him that the people from the half spirit race were harmless and didn't mean any harm.

"I see… Sorry for my behavior, I just haven't seen anyone from these races before and only heard about them through some ancient tales and the different large powers who want to kill them. Although… I never really understood why those powers want to kill them so much, as they don't seem to be anywhere near strong enough to pose a threat to the continent…"

"That's understandable, the half spirit race is a race born from the union of a spirit and human, so they can be considered to be human to some extent. As for the opinion of the different large powers who want to kill races like the half spirit race, I don't know… Maybe they are afraid that the human race will lose their spot on the top of the continent…" Shaking his head as he said this, Xuan Hao could not help wondering why the different large powers were intent on killing off the different races like the half spirit race.

In the end, the only thing he could think of was the ancient war that had taken place in the past. Perhaps back then these races had allied with the ice phoenix and thus ended up being labeled as enemies by the powers who had managed to survive that war.

"Born from the union of a spirit and a human… How in the world would something like that happen? Isn't it stated that spirits don't have a physical body…?" At the same time Xuan Hao was lost in thought wondering about why the different races from the past had been labeled as enemies of the human race by the larger powers at the core of the continent, Pei Yang was left wondering about something completely different.

…

Making their way to the Seventh Star Peak while both thinking about two completely different things, Xuan Hao, and Pei Yang directly towards Elder Song's courtyard.

"Xuan Hao! And this must be... Senior Pei?"

Having already been contacted by Xuan Hao the moment the two arrived at the Seventh Star Peak, Elder Song was already waiting for them on the path leading up to the entrance of his courtyard.

Even without him saying more than a few words, it was still obvious how excited he was to see Pei Yang. The reason for this being that there was no one more excited about a new powerful elder than him, who was already looking forward to seeing how much the disciples would improve with the guidance of a powerful Earth Immortal.

"Elder Song, I will be leaving him in your care."

Whoosh~!

Leaving with these few words, Xuan Hao made his way back towards his palace where his disciples were probably eagerly waiting for his return.

"Greetings, Elder Song, I heard a lot about you from Xuan Hao along the way."

"Haha, how humble of you to call this old man elder even though I'm barely at the Nascent Soul Realm. Follow me and I will show you where you will be living from now on." Chuckling happily upon hearing Pei Yang refer to him as an elder, Elder Song wasted no time as he began leading Pei Yang in the direction of his future home in the Star Shattering Sect.

"…"

During the entire process, Pei Yang had no idea how to respond to the enthusiastic Elder Song, as he found himself being dragged away from the entrance to the courtyard by him.

The reason why he had called him Elder Song was not because he was trying to be humble and respectful towards him, but because he had never heard Xuan Hao refer to him as anything other than Elder Song. In the end, it caused him to just use it like a normal name. In the end, it resulted in Elder Song thinking that he was being humble and respectful.

All things considered, he didn't try and correct himself after seeing how happy Elder Song was. Even though he had never met Elder Song before, from what Xuan Hao had told him, he could not help feeling a sense of admiration towards the happy old man leading him towards his future home in the Star Shattering Sect.

Not so much because of his strength, but because of how he had been able to climb to his current position in the sect while only being in the earlier stages of the Nascent Soul Realm. Even reaching a point where he overshadowed the sect master to some extent.

I hope I will be able to recover safely without anyone from the Blue Sea Empire appearing. At least I don't want to bring trouble to the sect of my benefactor…

With these thoughts in mind, Pei Yang soon found himself exploring his new home together with Elder Song before being dragged away by him a few minutes later to explore the different facilities of the sect.

From the Combat Hall to the Grand Mission Pavilion and the Grand Library, Pei Yang found himself becoming more and more shocked with every place he visited in the Star Shattering Sect. Reaching the point where he began wondering if the Star Shattering Sect was really just a new sect that had been recently established or some ancient sect that had decided to reveal itself to the world.

The only thing that kept him from believing the last part was the fact that the strongest people in the Star Shattering Sect outside of Xuan Hao had only reached the Domain Lord Realm. If not for this, he would have almost certainly believed that the Star Shattering Sect was an ancient sect that had just recently surfaced.
