Chapter 146: External Incarnation

146. Chapter 146: External Incarnation

"Xiao Yan, do you really know Xiao Yao?"

Xi Lan was somewhat curious, and Fang Qingyan nodded, briefly recounting how the two had grown up together.

However, Fang Qingyan did not mention that Xiao Yao's cultivation had been stuck without breakthroughs before, achieving a breakthrough to the peak of Qi Refinement in just one year.

She was no fool and understood clearly that Xiao Yao must have had her own opportunities, and if this got out, it would be astonishing.

It would bring some unnecessary trouble to Xiao Yao later.

So, she only mentioned some trivial matters.

After a long while, Xi Lan patted her shoulder and said, "When there is time, I will take you to the Taixu Sect to see her."

Moreover, the terror of the sword technique was even more formidable than imagined.

"External power, no matter how strong, is still external power; only one's own strength is truly useful."

"What you need to do next is select two or three Spells and specialize in these few Spells."

However, what was most important for her now was preparing for the Ten Veins Grand Competition.

Indeed.

She saw Zi Qianxue wielding her Long Sword, dancing with the grace of an immortal, yet the Sword Qi she emitted was terrifying.

"As long as you cultivate two or three Spells to the Great Success stage, combined with my Qianxue Sword Technique, crushing cultivators of the same stage will be no problem."

Following Zi Qianxue's words, the Sword Qi she slashed out appeared like an inverted river of ice; mist instantly filled the surroundings, and the next second, everything around Zi Qianxue as the center was frozen by ice.

Although Zi Qianxue did not criticize Luo Yao as being utterly useless, it was close to that.

Luo Yao did not know about Fang Qingyan's situation; she thought Fang Qingyan had returned to the Xuanyuan Sect.

In the days that followed, Luo Yao practiced this sword technique with her master.

If Spirit Power were added, would it not be even more terrifying?

"The second form is called Wind and Snow Overwhelming the Sky."

No wonder Loose Cultivators ultimately struggle to achieve great success; no one to guide them, no one to point out cultivation problems, no systematic teaching, no guidance on cultivation...

If she relied too heavily on her Dharma Treasure, and one day encountered someone with the ability to suppress that Dharma Treasure, how would she fight others without it then?

Zi Qianxue did not immediately teach Luo Yao the sword technique; instead, she ordered Luo Yao to attack her with full force, using whatever means necessary, even the methods she commonly used in battle.

"The fourth form is Frost Bright Moon."

Xi Lan introduced the incident where she met Xiao Yao in the Ancient Battlefield; hearing about the critical moments, although Fang Qingyan knew they were safe in the end, she could not help but feel nervous for Luo Yao.

"Although your strength has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, without relying on a Dharma Treasure but solely on your own combat power, you can handle ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, but you cannot face those geniuses."

Moreover, the Sword Qi within this phantom could switch between illusion and reality.

Furthermore, the water vapor in the air instantly condensed into ice crystals, solidifying the surrounding space to form a transformed realm of ice and snow, making it difficult for opponents to break free from the constraints.

In other words, Luo Yao's combat power relied entirely on external forces; without these external forces, she was left with only Spirit Power thicker than her peers.

At this moment, Fang Qingyan felt somewhat fortunate to have met Yunhua Xianzi and fortunate to have joined the Wangyue Pavilion.

"Does Senior Sister also know Xiao Yao?"

Even Luo Yao, who was merely an onlooker and did not face this move directly, almost felt she was going to die; if this were an enemy, the terror would have killed her many times over.

Just thinking about the dense frost Sword Qi in battle, the sheer number alone made one's scalp tingle.

"The third form is Ice Sealing the Nine Heavens."

If Zi Qianxue had not guided Luo Yao, she probably would not have discovered her own problems, and in the future, she would likely suffer a major fall.

Luo Yao was not depressed by the setback; instead, she began to think seriously.

However, Luo Yao did not choose immediately because there were too many options, so she could only first learn the External Incarnation given by her Eldest Senior Uncle.

She also thought that after resolving the matters here, she would return to the Xuanyuan Sect, at least to bring Fang Qingyan to Pingzhou.

Zi Qianxue finished demonstrating quickly, but Luo Yao stood stunned in place; compared to the previous Ruoshui Sword Technique, this was truly heaven and earth apart.

Luo Yao widened her eyes, watching her master condense the power of frost with a gentle sword intent, like the bright moon in the sky, quiet and mysterious.

Xiao Yao has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage; I must also hurry up, otherwise, how can I protect Xiao Yao in the future?

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Part of the reason was also that her cultivation had been too weak before, making it impossible to unleash the power of that sword technique, so she felt it was ineffective and thus used her Dharma Treasure to defend against enemies most of the time.

Luo Yao nodded; her master's words made her path forward clear very quickly.

Even though the master at the Xuanyuan Sect had taught her the Ruoshui Sword Technique, she rarely used it.

Zi Qianxue sheathed her sword and came to Luo Yao's side, saying, "Now, if you only learn the first form and cultivate it to the Great Success stage, even Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators may not necessarily be your match."

The layers of frost Sword Qi covered one another, finally merging together, rolling like a snow avalanche and a surging torrent sweeping toward the enemy, covering heaven and earth with astonishing power.

"The first form is called Cold Shadow Condensing Frost."

"Condense your own Spirit Power into ice power at the sword tip and slash it toward the enemy."

The Sword Qi swirls like frost, capable of solidifying the enemy's attacks and causing the enemy to fall into a state of brief confusion and immobility.

Luo Yao nodded; indeed, just now Zi Qianxue only demonstrated without using her full Spirit Power, yet it was already so terrifying.

Moreover, when the enemy discovers that this frost Sword Qi is a phantom and lets their guard down, it instantly transforms the phantom into a solid form; the unprepared enemy will instantly become a hedgehog.

Zi Qianxue introduced and demonstrated simultaneously; it sounded ordinary, but Luo Yao quickly realized the uniqueness of this move: this technique slashes out many shadows of ice swords, which appear as phantoms but are actually real ice Sword Qi.

Defeated, and defeated miserably.

After all, the gap between the two was simply too large; Luo Yao attacked with full force, using whatever means, yet she did not even scratch a single hair on Zi Qianxue.

The result was self-evident.

She indeed relied on Dharma Treasures in battle, while her own Spells and sword techniques were rarely used.

Of course, besides this sword technique, Zi Qianxue also gave Luo Yao many Spells for her to choose the ones suitable for herself.

With such a terrifying sword technique, after four strikes, which enemy could possibly stand against it?

"No matter how formidable the sword technique, it still requires someone to wield it."

Hiss!

If the first move is this terrifying, then the subsequent moves must be...

No wonder she had heard that her master basically never used Spells, and in combat, she primarily relied on this set of sword techniques.

"As for Spells, we will choose them later; for now, I will teach you the sword technique."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yao immediately held her breath; this was her master's signature move.

So this is how a sword technique is used!

As long as one learns this Spell, not only can there be one more person to assist in one's cultivation, but during battle, there can also be one more person to help defend against enemies.

It can be said that this is no longer a Spell, but a legendary Supernatural Ability.
