Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 93: Sitting on the Hilltop

Having the task of investigating the border village where the plague first started stopped, Xuan Hao flew back towards the Flying Sword Sect with a somewhat disappointed expression on his face.

In the future he should make time for himself to go and explore deeper into the Burning Mountain Range, at the very least he should be able to find some demon beasts to fight with and assess his current strength.

Maybe he would even be lucky enough to find something that could help improve Chu Yang's soul purity… But for a spiritual herb that could increase soul purity, there would most definitely be a strong demon beast to protect it.

As he was flying through the sky on his sword, Xuan Hao sensed someone on a small hilltop a little further away from him and grew quite curious as he sensed that the person was infected with the plague.

This was the first time Xuan Hao had seen someone infected with plague still being alive! So, it was a given for him to make his way over to the person in question.

"A-are you an Immortal!?" On the top of the hilltop, a middle-aged woman was sitting down with a depressed look on her face, suddenly sensing something above her, she had looked up and spotted Xuan Hao slowly descending down from the sky on top of sword.

To the middle-aged woman who was nothing more than a normal person, Xuan Hao looked like an Immortal descending from the heavens themselves as he slowly made his way down from his sword and stood in front of the shocked woman.

"…" Xuan Hao did not say anything, instead he gently took the hand of the still shocked middle-aged woman and allowed his divine sense to enter her body and inspect the plague inside of her.

The plague itself was just like what Xuan Hao had seen before as several roots spread out from the dantian area of her body, the life of the middle-aged woman was slowly draining away as the roots absorbed it and transferred it back to where the dantian should have been located.

The dark green orb of energy was there, slowly growing as it absorbed more and more of the middle-aged woman's lifeforce.

"A-are you perhaps here to send me off…?" Not hearing Xuan Hao answer her question as he had gently placed his hand on her, the middle-aged woman already knew what her situation was and momentarily thought that Xuan Hao was an immortal sent down to guide the souls of those who passed on into the circle of reincarnation.

The middle-aged woman had heard tales of immortals descending down from the skies and guiding those about to pass away into the cycle of reincarnation from her village when she was young.

The constant pain with every breath she took convinced her that this must be the case as she felt herself growing weaker and weaker with each passing second.

Xuan Hao did still not say anything as he felt the dark green energy inside of the woman's body suddenly start absorbing the lifeforce of the woman at an increasingly fast pace.

"!"

Trying to forcibly inject his own qi to slow down the absorption of the woman's lifeforce, Xuan Hao suddenly felt a strange kind of power preventing him from doing anything, it was almost like an omnipotent kind of force radiated from the small dark green orb the moment he tried to interact with it and prevent it from absorbing the woman's lifeforce.

Are these the so called "Laws" mentioned in the notebook of Lord Kubera?

The Laws that Xuan Hao thought about was something briefly mentioned in the notebook of Lord Kubera when he talked about the different plagues of the Church of the Plague God.

The Law was the same thing as the Dao that immortal cultivators like himself tried to comprehend, just that the God of Plague called it a Law instead of a Dao.

The problem for Xuan Hao was, that only people at the Domain Lord Realm or at the very least the Half-Step Domain Lord Realm, could start coming into contact with the Dao.

Feeling extremely powerless at the moment, Xuan Hao retracted his qi from the middle-aged woman as he let out a slightly helpless sigh while looking at the lifeforce slowly draining out of the woman's body without being able to do anything about it.

"Maybe I will be able to meet my husband once again in my next reincarnation…? Hah… Mr. Immortal, will you please help me meet my husband once again after I pass away…?" Feeling the surrounding slowly growing dimmer and dimmer, the woman slowly laid down on the ground to relax as she felt it was growing exhausting even to sit up any longer, but even then, she still looked at Xuan Hao with a certain light still shinning in her eyes.

"…" Xuan Hao felt the desperation hidden in the woman's voice and decided to just nod his head in an attempt to let her peacefully pass on without too much worry on her mind.

"I see… Then I must thank you…" Saying that the middle-aged woman slowly closed her eyes as her body completely relaxed on top of the small hill, she had managed to peacefully pass on…

Xuan Hao felt quite sad when he felt that the middle-aged woman he had just met passed away, but he still focused on observing the inner workings of her body, as he saw how the dark green orb of energy matured and the energy flowing through the roots of it slowly stopped working. Leaving only the dark green orb inside the woman's body active.

Thinking of something, Xuan Hao still had no idea how the plague was spreading in the first place, but upon seeing the dark green orb once again, he thought that it might have something to do with it.

After all, the dark green orb in the woman's body was many times bigger than the one he had seen in the abandoned village earlier!
