Chapter 126: Master and Disciple Trip Outside

Moving his divine sense, a bit close to the black rose made out of dark qi, Xuan Hao felt that it gave off a similar aura as the black robed person he first met back in Bright Sun City.

So, it was the Black Rose Sect's cultivation mantra…?

Thinking about this, Xuan Hao felt that it made sense. After all, it was not like Chu Yang had broken through and created his first pillar with the Soul Spear Divine Mantra…

But then again, he had been at the second stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm when he first took him as his second disciple, should one of the small pillars flying around the central pillar not also have the black qi in a rose shape engulfing it…?

Turning his attention back to the pillars floating around in Chu Yang's dantian, Xuan Hao saw the dark qi in the form of a rose surrounding the central pillar slowly being eroded and changed into a sharp spear qi by the other four pillars.

The four pillars were slowly changing the black qi of central pillar into spear qi, while at the same time blocking any incoming qi from reaching it and in turn strengthen the black qi inside of the dantian.

Normally, such a thing would have caused the black qi to go berserk and try its best to break free from the other pillar's slow erosion, but instead it had given up on resisting the four smaller pillar and let them slowly grind away the black qi.

Was this due to the fact that the Soul Spear Divine Mantra was a higher ranked cultivation mantra? Or maybe it was something else…

Xuan Hao had no idea what the reason for the black qi's obedience was, but as it did not harm his disciple in any way and instead it would bring massive benefits to him when the black qi in the form of a rose was gone and replaced with the superior spear qi, Xuan Hao decided not to interfere in the process.

"Hm… I can see that both of you have not been slacking in your training over the last month, so instead of me correcting mistakes that I thought you would have made, we will instead do something else…" Feeling a bit helpless upon saying this, Xuan Hao had expected to be spending the day helping correct his disciple's cultivation and any mistakes they made along the way.

How come neither of them had any mistakes in their cultivation… Maybe it's because it is still in the earlier cultivation realms… Yes, that must be it!

Xuan Hao nodded to himself at this thought as both Chu Yang and Qing Yi looked at him questioningly.

Was their master perhaps looking forward to them having made mistakes in their cultivation and now became disappointed that they had cultivated without making any mistakes…?

"So instead, we will be going on a little trip outside of the sect. Both of you have yet to explore the surrounding area around the Flying Sword Sect yet, so this should be a great opportunity to explore the area and get to know it!" Not really paying attention to the questioning look that his disciples gave him, Xuan Hao announced their trip outside the sect with a smile appearing on his face.

Chu Yang and Qing Yi did not say anything to stop their master as both of them were quite curious about the different places surrounding the Flying Sword Sect… To this day, both of them only knew about Demon Beast Forest, Flying Sword City and the spirit stone mine stolen away by the Raging Flame Sect.

They both wanted to know more about the different territories under the Flying Sword Sect.

With that, Xuan Hao and both of his disciples made their way down the mountain and out of the Flying Sword Sect.

The first stop on the trip was the Star Peak Mountain, the highest mountain in not only the Flying Sword Sect's territory, but the whole Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

Originally the founder of the Flying Sword Sect wanted to establish the sect on the Star Peak Mountain due to its high altitude resulting in the qi between heaven and earth being denser than normal, but he soon found out why no other sect placed their sect on Star Peak Mountain.

The qi between heaven and earth on Star Peak Mountain was too violent! Calming down the qi between heaven and earth enough for it to be usable in cultivation required a grand formation laid out by a Domain Lord that focused in calming down the violent qi!

But why would someone like that ever bother coming to a place like the Heavenly Sky Kingdom…?

Xuan Hao personally felt that it was a great pity that the qi on the Star Peak Mountain was so violent. The Flying Sword Sect would be able to improve their strength by a lot, if they managed to calm the violent qi and move their sect to the Star Peak Mountain!

This would also cause a lot of greedy people to appear… The only reason why the Flying Sword Sect was even allowed to place themselves so close to the Star Peak Mountain in the first place was because most people viewed it as being useless due to the violent qi, but if the Flying Sword Sect somehow managed to calm down the qi at Star Peak Mountain…

"Maybe I should get a disciple that specializes in formations in the future…" As they made their way towards the Star Peak Mountain, Xuan Hao thought about what his third disciple should be…

He already had one that specialized in alchemy and botany… Maybe getting a few more disciples that focused on different professions would not be a bad idea…

…

As Xuan Hao and his two disciples were making their way towards the Star Peak Mountain, a beautiful young woman wearing a pure white robe in her late twenties appeared at the entrance of the Flying Sword Sect holding onto what looked to be a small green jade with her left hand.

"It's been over 200 years, I wonder how Fengfeng has been doing with that witch Zu Fei around him… But for him to ask me to come over…" Talking to herself, the woman walked straight past the Core Formation Realm elder at the entrance to the sect and entered the Flying Sword Sect without him noticing.

"I wonder where that Elder Xuan is…? Fengfeng asked me to find him first upon arriving, but it seems like he might not be here at the moment… Guess I will just go find that witch Zu Fei…" Narrowing her eyes a bit upon mentioning Zu Fei, the young woman made her way in the direction of the Vice Sect Master's pavilion without losing her way, extremely familiar with the interior of the Flying Sword Sect.
