On the Martial Arts Platform, Xia Ningxue of the Guanghan Palace faced off against Yuexi of the Mysterious Lady Palace.
Xia Ningxue, in a white dress with a Zhanlan Immortal Sword hanging at her waist, had her ink-black hair gently fluttering in the breeze, her cold beauty incomparable.
Opposite Xia Ningxue stood another stunning beauty, wearing a water-green fairy dress with bright eyes and white teeth, transcending the worldly plane.
Both were astonishingly talented immortals of the younger generation within the Immortal Realm, and victory would grant either a spot in the top four.
Xia Ningxue represented Guanghan Palace, and Yuexi represented Mysterious Lady Palace, both had reasons they could not afford to lose.
“Xue’er has less cultivation time than her opponent, she might be at a disadvantage.”
Lu Changsheng knew that Yuexi, the top talent of the Mysterious Lady Palace, had cultivated for over seven hundred thousand years, making Xia Ningxue’s contest with her somewhat unfair.
Xia Ningxue glanced at Lu Changsheng with the corner of her eye.
As long as she defeated the top talent of the Mysterious Lady Palace, she could meet Lu Changsheng in the top four, and then no matter who won or lost, she could accept the outcome.
“The competition is about to begin. If you’re distracted, be careful that I defeat you.”
The pleasant-sounding voice of Yuexi detected Xia Ningxue’s diversion and thus reminded her.
“I will not admit defeat easily.”
Xia Ningxue drew her Immortal Sword, spreading cold Sword Qi around, making the surrounding space-time seem to freeze into ice due to the chilling Sword Qi.
“The Eighth Grade Dao Artifact of Guanghan Palace—the Huhuan Sword!”
“This is the personal sword of the Guanghan Palace Master, Li Heng. Who would have thought she would lend it to a disciple?”
“With the Holy Maiden of Guanghan Palace entering the top eight, the reputation of Guanghan Palace has soared. It’s not surprising that the Palace Master highly values this disciple.”
“Unexpectedly, besides Mount Taihua, Guanghan Palace also has someone in the top eight of the Immortal Realm. We really underestimated Guanghan Palace.”
Yaochi, Mount Taihua, Primordial Mountain, Changliu Mountain, and other Holy Lands couldn’t help but feel emotional.
Guanghan Palace Master Li Heng was highly focused, paying attention to this battle.
Regardless of victory or defeat, she had to avoid any accidents befalling her disciple in this contest.
Xia Ningxue’s entry into the top eight had already exceeded Li Heng’s expectations.
The Mysterious Lady Palace, an institution of the Ancient Heavenly Court, was a top three Divine Palace, gathering the strongest group of Goddesses and Immortal Ladies of the entire Immortal Realm at that time; even the Mount Taihua Goddess and the Taiyin Goddess were Sword Maidens who came from the Mysterious Lady Palace.
As the top talent of the Mysterious Lady Palace, Yuexi’s natural abilities didn’t need further mention.
“Bright as Taiyin, deeply hidden as the most subtle…”
Xia Ningxue recited the Mnemonic Verse, and the extreme chill spread out.
Yuexi’s expression changed; her surroundings seemed to become mist-covered waters, vast and boundless, with an endless ice field ahead of her.
Yuexi’s Spiritual Energy within her Zodiac Meridians, having suffered the invasion of cold air, circulated poorly.
“Is this the unique aspect of Guanghan Palace’s Cultivation Techniques?”
Yuexi knew that Guanghan Palace was located in the northern part of the Immortal Realm’s Endless Ice Field and utilized the extreme chill of the place to cultivate unique Cultivation Techniques.
The Everlasting Immortal took the opportunity to instruct his disciples: “This is the Sect-Defending Skill of Guanghan Palace, ‘Vast Misty Waves.’ Although the name of this technique sounds very artistic, it is extremely formidable. It can make the opponent fall into a chilling mindset, blocking their Zodiac Meridians, hindering their circulation, and making it difficult for them to utilize their full strength. This technique has eleven levels, and it is said that at the highest level, with just a thought, one can freeze everything within a hundred thousand miles, causing all living beings within that range to wither. Even slightly weaker Divine Kings would fall.”
“Hiss…”
The disciples, including the White Immortal Emperor and Li Changye, felt chills down their spine after hearing the description from the Everlasting Immortal.
With one thought, a hundred thousand miles freeze over, and Divine Kings fall.
Such was the fearful power of this particular technique from Guanghan Palace.
“The Cultivation Technique ‘Vast Misty Waves’ of Guanghan Palace is a commendable technique, but everyone from our Mysterious Lady Palace is well-versed in literature, proficient in dealing with various Cultivation Techniques.”
The Mysterious Lady Palace Master remained calm. Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire
The Sect-Defending Skills of Guanghan Palace were indeed not bad, but they still fell short when compared to the transcendent existence of the Mysterious Lady Palace.
Yuexi, her Direct Disciple, naturally had utter confidence in Yuexi’s strength.
Yuexi took out a green bell, and with a shake, the sound of the bell rang out. Invisible ripples spread out like water rings: “Impervious to All Laws!”
The cold air around Yuexi retreated, her True Qi resumed its normal circulation, unaffected by the extreme chill.
“Eternal Sword Strike!”
Xia Ningxue struck with her sword, the Huhuan Sword releasing dazzling cold light, freezing the space within tens of thousands of miles, the world turning bitterly cold as if time itself halted.
The harsh sword light captured the essence of heaven and earth, freezing everything.
“What an astonishing momentum!”
“Could this really be a sword technique that a cultivator of the Immortal Emperor Realm could use?”
“This woman’s potential is simply limitless!”
Xia Ningxue unleashed her full power with her sword, using another Sect-defining Ultimate Art of Guanghan Palace, causing an uproar among the onlookers.
The power displayed by Xia Ningxue exceeded what a normal Immortal Emperor should possess.
“She truly is extraordinary.”
Emperor Ku’s eyes blazed; Xia Ningxue had once saved his life, and he believed her to be no ordinary person. Her performance against the longer-cultivating Yuexi was beyond his expectations.
Inside the realm of Eternal Sword Intent, Yuexi felt threatened.
Xia Ningxue, in her cultivation space, had comprehended higher levels of Guanghan Palace’s Sect-defining Techniques, making her Sword Intent nearly invincible at the Immortal Emperor nine-layered Realm.
Yuexi pinched her sword fingers, and a verdant Immortal Sword flew out from her scabbard. The sword’s lush green light, vibrant as spring, illuminated all directions: “Three-foot Green Peak, traversing mountains and rivers, eliminating demons and dispelling fiends, Unity of Person and Sword!”
Green Sword Qi broke through the ice, shattering inch after inch of the frozen ground and fracturing the glaciers.
Both women, peerless and favored by the heavens, caused earth-shattering disturbances with their confrontation.
