Wherever that terrifying chill passed, the entire world frozel.
Annihilating everything!
What a terrifying ice blizzard!
“Is this the true profound meaning contained in this Transcendent Martial Art Fragment? It’s so powerful!”
Ling Xiao had never thought that a martial artist’s ability could reach this level.
How was this strengthening the body? This was simply controlling the power of nature.
Not to mention splitting a stone, it could move mountains and drain seas.
This terrifying scene was just an illusion in Ling Xiao’s soul and not actually occurring in reality.
However, the strong pressure in his soul was definitely real.
If he couldn’t withstand it, he would likely lose his life.
Sometimes, an impact to the soul was much more terrifying than a physical injury.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao succeeded.
He gradually controlled the ice blizzard and integrated it into his martial art.
“Snow Lotus Sword Art! This is the Snow Lotus Sword Art! I didn’t expect it to be a sword technique that coordinates with <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>. Moreover, it’s actually a Transcendent Martial Art!”
After passing through the final difficult moment, Ling Xiao understood the general outline of this sword technique with five styles.
Although this Snow Lotus Sword Art had been comprehended from an incomplete profound meaning, so its power was not equal to real Transcendent Martial Arts, it was still much stronger than any peak martial art.
He finally opened his eyes. Flopping to the ground, he looked at the ceiling of the Library Pavilion with satisfaction.
His past two hours of hard work had not been in vain.
This was enough.
“How was it? Ling Xiao, you were the only one to persist for two hours. How many moves did you comprehend?”
Ling Xiaotian came over and asked with excitement.
“Five!”
Ling Xiao said regretfully: “It’s a pity. My soul power is still too weak; otherwise, I would have persisted a little longer.”
“Huh? Why are you all looking at me like that?”
Ling Xiao noticed that several people including Patriarch Ling Xiaotian looked at him with wide eyes as if he were a monster.
“Hehe, Junior Apprentice Brother, don’t you know? From each profound meaning in these Transcendent Martial Art Fragments, you can comprehend at most five moves. You should have gotten a general outline of a martial art. What’s its name?”
Ling Yixue explained with a smile.
“So, it’s like that.”
Ling Xiao sighed in relief. His gain had truly been the best result possible.
“I comprehended a martial art named <Snow Lotus Sword Art>.”
He answered with a smile.
“It’s actually the <Snow Lotus Sword Art>! If you can obtain the matching <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>, the power of this martial art will be even more powerful. Hahaha, I didn’t expect it! An unprecedented genius that can comprehend five styles actually appeared in my Ling Clan.”
Ling Xiaotian laughed to tears.
It was impossible for him to not be excited.
“However, although I have comprehended <Snow Lotus Sword Art>, I still can’t use it in actual combat. The five styles of the sword technique are still in an embryonic form.”
Ling Xiao said seriously.
“That’s very normal. After all, it’s only been a short time. Having an embryonic form is like a woman having a fetus. As long as it is properly nurtured, it will certainly grow.”
Ling Xiaotian said with a smile: “Since this is the case, Ling Xiao, you can enter seclusion here. Almost all buildings within the Ling Clan were destroyed, and only this Library Pavilion is intact. Now that we are building again outside, there is no place to cultivate.”
“Many thanks, Patriarch.”
Ling Xiao could clearly feel that after the life and death battle, although there were fewer people in the Ling Clan, they had become more united.
Perhaps, such a Ling Clan was even stronger than before.
“Also, the Medicine Hall was destroyed, but there is still a batch of Gang Qi Pills. As the most promising martial artist of the Ling Clan, you can have twenty. Use them well.”
“Yes!”
After giving the pills to Ling Xiao, Ling Xiaotian and the others left.
Only Ling Xiao was left on the fourth floor.
He didn’t waste any time. He swallowed a Gang Qi Pill and restored his soul and physical power.
After he recovered, he cultivated the <Snow Lotus Sword Art> that he had comprehended from that stone tablet.
Although it was just a sword art from an incomplete profound meaning, the difficulty of cultivating it was much higher than a Superior Peak Martial Art.
Just the First Style——Flying Snow was no less difficult than “A Terrifying Finger” that he had learned from that blue-robed woman.
In fact, it might have been even a bit harder.
Therefore, whenever his comprehension faltered, he didn’t forcefully continue.
Instead, he practiced other martial arts.
This <Snow Lotus Sword Art> was indeed a treasure, like an excellent material to forge a divine weapon.
Although he was unable to use it now, it would definitely be usable in the future.
He was not impatient.
After all, he had yet to truly master his <Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique>, <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>, <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>, and Cherry Tree and Black Cloud Martial Souls.
He spent three days on the fourth floor.
Finally, he cultivated <Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique> to the fifth layer,the perfection realm. Now, he could not only divide into three shadow clones, but also merge different martial souls into each clone while they displayed completely different attacks.
Now, the strengths of these three shadow clones had reached roughly 80% of Ling Xiao’s own strength.
This was a very terrifying matter.
Ling Xiao even suspected that if he cultivated <Duplicate Shadow Sword technique> to sublimity, his shadow clones might reach 90% of his combat power. Like that, it would be equivalent to four of him simultaneously attacking an opponent.
Although it was a matter of the future, he was still excited thinking about it.
<Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> was consolidated at the seventh transformation, but he didn’t breakthrough for the time being because he had to find more gold. It would be best if he could obtain a gold mine.
Now, <Snow Lotus Qi Formula> had reached the ninth layer, the perfection realm, greatly increasing his total gang qi.
Furthermore, his cultivation base was increased to Mid Rank Six Martial Vein.
At this moment, in terms of his gang qi quantity only, it was equivalent to a Mid Rank Seven Martial Vein martial artist.
In addition, he had reached preliminary mastery in the Cherry Tree and Black Cloud Martial Souls’ attack methods.
As said before, martial souls weren’t strong or weak, only more or less suitable.
The same martial soul would show completely different power in the hands of different people.
This was because a martial soul’s grade could be improved.
Incomplete Soul (10% to 100%);
Intact Soul (a transparent, incorporeal entity);
Out Aperture (a soul that can freely leave the martial artist’s body and cooperate in combat);
Wandering Soul (a soul that can wander far away from the martial artist’s body and act by itself according to the martial artist’s orders for assassination and so on);
Thunder Tribulation (nine-layered thunder tribulation soul);
Divine Soul (the rumored strongest martial soul).
Whether it were a martial or Ren soul, as long as they were battle souls, they had to go through these six stages.
With the advancement of each stage, the martial soul would become stronger.
At this moment, it was hard to tell what stage Ling Xiao’s Landscape Martial Soul was at. However, the Cherry Tree Martial Soul and Black Cloud Martial Soul were transparent bodies at Intact Soul.
They were a lot stronger than incomplete souls but not outstanding among Intact Souls.
