Chapter 1759 (Raw 1771): Holding a Flower with a Smile
Xiao Chen casually settled down in the courtyard that he rented in the northern city .
Then, he started cultivating the Ice Feather Divine Incantation .
This Ice Feather Divine Incantation was a Medial Earth Grade Cultivation Technique, a rare and precious Cultivation Technique that a Rank 5 sect true inheritor would find hard to obtain .
It had a total of six layers . Supposedly, a person with an astonishing level of comprehension ability could merge the six layers into one and comprehend the hidden seventh layer of the Ice Feather Divine Incantation .
Inside the cultivation room of the courtyard, Xiao Chen took out Medial Grade Spirit Jades and placed them in the nodes of the Spirit Gathering Formation .
After filling up the nodes, he sat cross-legged on the prayer mat in the center of the formation . Then, following the circulation method for the Ice Feather Divine Incantation, he slowly circulated his energy .
He closed his eyes and held his hands together around the position of his dantian . Sometimes, he crisscrossed them; sometimes, he placed one hand on top of the other .
As the Ice Feather Divine Incantation slowly circulated, the Spiritual Energy gathered by the formation rushed into Xiao Chen’s body, endlessly flowing through his meridians .
Originally, there was only a purple whirlpool from the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation at the center of Xiao Chen’s dantian .
However, after the Ice Feather Divine Incantation completed a minor cycle, countless strands of pure Spiritual Energy, looking like pure-white feathers, fell like a heavy snowstorm .
The white feathers then formed a white whirlpool around the purple whirlpool .
From today on, Xiao Chen formally cultivated an ice-attribute Cultivation Technique, walking the Ice Thunder Dao .
The initially scattered will of ice in his body flowed in the circulation method for the Ice Feather Divine Incantation, coalescing slowly .
Xiao Chen, who had never practiced an ice-attribute Cultivation Technique before, progressed exceptionally fast in this Ice Feather Divine Incantation .
“Phew…”
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of turbid air .
When he looked around, he saw that the cultivation room had frosted over . Sparse snow slowly fell .
When the snow landed on Xiao Chen’s white robes, it gave him a certain poetic feeling like a tree standing proudly in the midst of winter .
Several white strands appeared among his scattered hair—the sign of successfully cultivating the first layer .
“I managed to cultivate the first layer in half a day . This should be because the will of ice allowed me to cultivate it this fast . ”
Xiao Chen was very satisfied with his cultivation speed . However, he was also very calm about it .
The main reason he could cultivate so quickly was still his good foundation . More importantly, he had just started; this was just the Ice Feather Divine Incantation’s first layer .
A journey of a thousand miles began with a single step .
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Strong auras came from outside the courtyard, rushing over .
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and revealed a smile . “Someone finally came . Let’s see who it is . ”
There was no need to guess . These people definitely came for the so-called ancient Dragon Race totem and the Faux God Flame .
Xiao Chen was not trying to hide his location at all . As long as one put in the effort, anyone could find him .
The most important thing was that Xiao Chen had purposely leaked his location in the first place .
His figure flashed as he flew out of the cultivation room and landed on the roof of his courtyard .
Xiao Chen looked up slightly and saw Huangpu Qi leading the Snow Sword Palace disciples, Senior Ma, and Senior Liu right outside his courtyard . This was a group of “old friends . ”
Then, these people charged in with surging murderous intent .
“Bang!”
Huangpu Qi kicked hard and pulverized the courtyard doors . Then, the entire group rushed inside fearlessly .
When this group looked up, they saw a white-clad Xiao Chen on the roof, smiling at them with a saber in his hand .
Xiao Chen now had a few white hairs on his head . As he stood on the roof, he was like a lone tree standing amid the winter snow and wind, looking extraordinary .
Huangpu Qi felt slightly startled . He smiled . “Xiao Chen, it looks like you anticipated that I, Huangpu Qi, would come for you . You are just a Rank 4 sect disciple and yet—”
“There is no point in talking . In Dragon Flame City, sect does not matter, nor does your background . Strength reigns . The winner is right, and the loser is wrong . Defeat the saber in my hand, and you can gain everything you want; I will give it all to you . ”
Two Dao disks appeared behind Xiao Chen as his fighting spirit blazed in him . His aura reached its peak in an instant .
Huangpu Qi felt stifled . He did not expect Xiao Chen to be so direct .
“Senior Brother, there is no need to be polite with him . We’ll just attack together . He encountered a great fortuitous encounter and will find it hard to escape death anyway . Why the need to go to all that trouble?” a Snow Sword Palace disciple whispered into Huangpu Qi’s ear after stepping forward .
“Indeed . Brother Huangpu, he is just a Rank 4 sect disciple after all . How can he measure up to you in nobility?” Senior Ma, who was at the side, said seriously as he gave Xiao Chen a sinister look .
Anger welled up in Huangpu Qi’s heart . Livid, he demanded, “Could it be that you think I, Huangpu Qi, am no match for him? I am a Snow Sword Palace true inheritor, an early-stage Star Venerate . Do I need your help to deal with one Rank 4 sect disciple?”
Huangpu Qi looked up and said, “As long as you don’t use that Puppet Technique from that day, I, Huangpu Qi, am not afraid to fight you . ”
As a Rank 5 sect disciple, Huangpu Qi naturally had pride in his heart . From the very beginning, he had never treated Xiao Chen as his opponent .
Back then, after Huangpu Qi was forced to leave, he had brooded over it, thinking that Xiao Chen just used an unorthodox skill .
Huangpu Qi had rage bottled up in his heart since then . Now, he wanted to fight Xiao Chen alone .
This proposition suited Xiao Chen’s intent .
Xiao Chen said softly, “Don’t worry . The skill from that day has very stringent requirements and wastes a lot of energy . I definitely will not use it when fighting with you . ”
“Then, you can go die . ”
Huangpu Qi radiated murderous intent as he shot forward, charging over .
“Whoosh!”
Snow started falling from the sky, and boundless cold Qi spread out . Frost instantly covered the entire courtyard, turning it into an ice palace .
The moment Huangpu Qi drew his sword, it radiated a boundless sword light .
Then, his figure vanished, merging into the snow in the air .
“Exquisite!”
The many Dragon Flame City experts watching from hiding and the Snow Sword Palace disciples could not help praising when they saw Huangpu Qi’s sword strike .
“Huangpu Qi truly lives up to being a Snow Sword Palace true inheritor . The merger of his Sword Dao and Ice Dao is at a level that many of the senior generation cannot achieve . ”
“It is truly indescribably exquisite . The moment the sword was drawn, the flying snow and the sword light merged . Is the falling snow just snow or sword light? It is hard to differentiate them, almost like an illusion . ”
“I heard that the founder of the Snow Sword Palace comprehended the Snowflake Divine Sword from the great snow . Then, he created the Rank 5 Snow Sword Palace . The Snow Sword Palace’s high-leveled Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques are all derived from the Snowflake Divine Sword . This Huangpu Qi has indeed figured out a trace of its true meaning, truly admirable . ”
On the roof, Xiao Chen immediately made out the merits of this move as he looked at the snow filling the air .
It had to be said that Huangpu Qi’s sword strike was indeed eye-opening .
It was not just purely cultivation . Huangpu Qi was also very accomplished in the Ice Dao and Sword Dao, someone worth studying .
As the snow flew about, it had a dream-like beauty . It was like shattered jade, as clear as crystal, yet like the vast sea, rising and falling with hidden currents .
This was Huangpu Qi’s true strength . It was also the reason why he thought highly of himself and looked down on Xiao Chen .
How should I break this move?
Should I search for Huangpu Qi’s true body among the snow filling the air, differentiating the sword light from the snow?
If I did that, then I would have fallen for Huangpu Qi’s trick, defeated after one move .
The spring snow arrived in the air; flowers bloomed everywhere . Of all the trees in the garden, which one was the true plum tree?
Snow is everywhere, sword light is everywhere . With one wrong look, the place becomes filled with danger .
However, why must I look?
Flowers will wilt, snow will melt; there is nothing eternal in this world .
However, I have resolved the mundane, stepping out from it . True or false depends on my thought .
If I want it to be true, the flowers will bloom, never wilting eternally .
If I want it to be false, the snow will fly, never melting eternally .
Wind and snow filled the garden as Xiao Chen’s mind wandered .
In a thought, he comprehended many things from Huangpu Qi’s move .
Invisibly, the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique’s Resolving the Mundane improved further . Xiao Chen also gained the confidence to break this move .
Xiao Chen’s energy circulated in the manner for the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique . However, he did not draw his saber, only using the true meaning of Resolving the Mundane .
Xiao Chen extended a finger, and that white whirlpool in his dantian started spinning wildly .
All the ice-attributed Veritable Essence Energy in Xiao Chen’s body poured out . Then, he gently tapped the flying snow .
Suddenly, the wind and snow filling the garden froze in place .
All the snowflakes started blooming in the air . One petal…two petals…three petals…until seven-petaled flowers were formed .
The snow filling the air all froze and turned into flowers in an instant .
The courtyard, the snow, the house, and the white-clad bladesman formed a poetic scene .
Huangpu Qi, who had merged with the snow, was forced out of the scene that he created .
When Huangpu Qi looked up and met Xiao Chen’s eyes, he saw Xiao Chen standing alone on the roof, smiling while holding a flower between his fingers .
This shocked Huangpu Qi, prompting him to retreat hastily .
