Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough-Novel

Chapter 677 Enlightenment Space

Whoosh-!

Not having the chance to observe his surroundings, the blank space around him began rapidly changing. Transforming from a completely empty space into an endless frozen plane filled with a terrifying ice qi formed directly by the Dao of Ice. For a Domain Lord Realm Expert like Xuan Hao, this was something that was impossible to endure with his current strength!

Crack~

Even before he had any time to react, his divine sense that was always active in an area around his body was invaded by the ice qi and began breaking apart at a speed far too fast for Xuan Hao to react.

Swish-!

Not having any time to react to what was happening, the ice qi that invaded his divine sense soon began tracing it back towards him-

Bang!

However, before the ice qi could invade his body and turn him into a human popsicle, a thin greyish barrier had formed around him and prevented the ice qi from invading his body.

"..."

Not knowing what to say as everything had happened far too quickly for him to react, Xuan Hao remained sitting completely motionless for a few seconds as he recovered from the shock of what had just happened.

If not for the fact that he had some sort of barrier protecting him, he was certain that the ice qi floating around in the air around him would have directly killed him before he even had a chance to react!

Thinking about this, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine before turning his attention towards the greyish coloured barrier that was barely visible covering an area only a few meters around him.

However, even after spending a few minutes observing it, he could not see through the greyish coloured barrier and was just about to try to examine more closely.

"Hm?"

It was at this moment that Xuan Hao suddenly noticed a small screen belonging to the system had appeared floating in the air not too far away from him at some unknown point in time.

[Dao of Ice, Enlightenment Space: 16 Minutes Left]

Seeing what was written on the small screen floating in the air, Xuan Hao did not take long to understand what was happening.

The system had somehow transported him into some sort of space that would allow him to comprehend the Dao of Ice!

The enlightenment mentioned by the system was not some sort of profound state of mind he would enter but was instead referring to the system allowing him to enter a special space, that would allow him a closer proximity to the Dao and give him an easier time at comprehending the dao!

Understanding this, Xuan Hao did not bother thinking about the greyish coloured barrier protecting him as he quickly closed his eyes and tried to comprehend the Dao of Ice.

"This!?"

Feeling how insights regarding the Dao of Ice that were untouchable and difficult to grasp started to appear inside his mind with ease after cultivating inside the enlightenment space for a short period of time, Xuan Hao could not help feeling shocked to the extreme.

Not to mention perfectly merging his ice and sword domain together perfectly into a single domain, Xuan Hao had a feeling that if he could stay inside the enlightenment space for a few days, he would be able to comprehend the Dao of Ice to a degree where the strength of his past attack that killed the Third Demonic Transformation Realm demonic cultivator could easily be replicated several times over!

If I just focus all my attention on the Dao of Ice, I will...

No!

Feeling that his path was somewhat changing the more in-depth his comprehension of the dao of ice grew, Xuan Hao forcefully stopped himself from comprehending the dao of ice any further as he turned his attention towards the current situation taking place inside his dantian.

Unknowingly, as his comprehension of the Dao of Ice increased, his ice domain rapidly increased in strength and size. Making it far stronger than his sword domain!

Looking inside his dantian, Xuan Hao could see his partially merged sword and ice domain far more closely connected with each other.

However, upon closer inspection, this connection had nothing to do with them merging together but was instead due to his ice domain slowly devouring his sword domain!

The somewhat unstable balance he had created between the two domains that caused them to start merging together with each had now been broken.

Now that his ice domain was now far stronger than his sword domain, it had begun to slowly devour it!

Even if only for a short time, his sword domain had already weakened by a lot compared to before he had entered the enlightenment space...

Looks like I won't be able to comprehend the Dao of Ice any longer, or I will risk my sword domain getting devoured and the time I used on trying to merge two domains together will be wasted...

Glancing up towards the system screen floating in the air that still had a few minutes left on it, Xuan Hao could not help feeling regretful as he turned, he decided to use his remaining time preventing his ice domain from weakening his sword domain and causing any further damage to it.

...

Whoosh-!

Feeling his surroundings change once again as he soon found himself in a new place, Xuan Hao could not help breathing out a sigh of relief.

Although he had stopped trying to comprehend to Dao of Ice, the Dao of Ice was far too strong in the enlightenment space, and he had unconsciously comprehended it even when he tried not to...

Only after getting moved to a new space did the strength of his ice domain stop improving and he could finally let out a sigh of relief knowing that his sword domain was still there.

Turning his attention away from the situation taking place inside his dantian, Xuan Hao did not even have to look up at the system screen to realize what dao the current enlightenment space was connected to... The seemingly infinite number of swords in all shapes and sizes all around him was more than enough to give it away if the terrifying sword qi taking physical shape around him was not enough of a giveaway.

[Dao of the Sword, Enlightenment Space: 20 Minutes Left]

Yes, Xuan Hao now found himself inside the enlightenment space belonging to the Dao of the Sword! This was also the main reason why Xuan Hao was not too worried about his sword domain any longer, as he was certain it would experience a similar growth and be able to catch up to his ice domain.

The only challenge would be to not increase its strength so much that it would end up devouring his ice domain...

Swish~

Although starting out growing slowly due to the suppression from the ice domain, it did not take long before his sword domain started increasing in both strength and size.

After only a little over half of the twenty minutes had passed, his sword domain had already managed to reach the same level as his ice domain!

Boom!

The change caused by both of his domains once again reaching the same level was not something Xuan Hao expected, as both of them rapidly began merging together at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even if his sword domain was still increasing in both strength and size, it was too late for it to surpass the ice domain and try to devour it at this point in time.

So, the ice domain devouring the sword domain was not just something bad... But it instead allowed my two domains to merge together more easily after reaching the same level of strength...

Realizing what had happened to cause his two domains to suddenly start rapidly merging together, Xuan Hao could not help feeling shocked. Not knowing what to say after witnessing both of his domains getting closer and closer to merging into one.

Fwoosh!

Not having any ability to interfere in what was taking place inside his dantian as his two domains merged together, Xuan Hao could not help showing an ugly expression on his face after feeling the terrible damaged that it ended up bringing to the inside of his body.

Boom-boom-boom!

Not only did the power of his two domains rampage inside his dantian causing all sorts of damage while merging together, but the pain he felt through his soul was close to unbearable!

The main reason why his soul felt like it would split apart at any moment, was due to the fact that it had already merged together with the two domains. Now, not only were his two domains merging together, but they were also rapidly increasing in strength the more they merged together...

In return, as their strength increased and they got to merging together, the burden on his soul would similarly increase!

If he could not endure this increased pressure brought by his two domains merging together... His soul would shatter and he would die!

Something Xuan Hao did not think about before entering the Enlightenment Space created by the system, as both his domains were far weaker than they currently were after being strengthened!
