Giving Birth But Not Raising, Why Are You Crying Now That I’ve Become an Immortal Emperor? - Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 – Ye Lingyun Practices Swordsmanship! Great Snow No Trace

According to Xue Yi, the Falling Snow sword technique she created consists of three moves: Startling Snow, Frost Descent, and Great Snow No Trace.

“Young Master, this is the first move of the Snowfall Sword Technique, Startling Snow!”

Xue Yi stood tall and graceful, holding her sword. With a soft shout, she raised her long sword, drawing an arc in the air, leaving behind an enigmatic trace. A sharp sword energy, filled with a killing intent, suddenly surged from the sword.

Cheng—!

The sharp sword energy whistled through the air with a breaking sound, its cold light flashing for a brief moment.

Even though they were separated by tens of steps, Ye Lingyun still felt an extreme sharpness approaching him, causing a subtle pain on his face.

The sword’s gleam emanating from Xue Yi’s hand carried a force capable of cleaving and breaking through, showing its extraordinary power.

“Second move, Frost Descent!”

She swung her sword again. The movement of the sword shifted, and a vast wave of cold spiritual energy surged forth. The wind howled, and snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the previously clear sky.

Xue Yi’s figure flickered, hidden among the falling snow, leaving behind countless white afterimages. The sword lights crisscrossed the air, each one filled with an unfathomable power, dazzling and amazing.

Ye Lingyun, whose cultivation was still far below Xue Yi’s, felt his body chill within the snowy scene. The overwhelming sword energy, vast like an abyss, caused his breath to pause.

Only when the snow in the sky began to disperse did he finally exhale deeply, feeling a slight chill on his back. Despite the short time that passed, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Above the training ground, the white afterimages converged into Xue Yi’s slender figure. She tightly grasped the Xueluo sword, her face becoming completely indifferent, devoid of emotion.

At this moment, she seemed to transform into a sword made of eternal ice, a lone figure gazing up at the heavens amidst the overwhelming sword energy.

“Final move, Great Snow No Trace!”

Great Snow No Trace, the killing move of the Falling Snow Sword Technique, was seldom shown in public. When used, it was a sure kill. To demonstrate it to Ye Lingyun today meant breaking the rule she had once set.

However, this also showed her loyalty to Empress Chu Xi and the importance she placed on teaching Ye Lingyun the sword technique.

Zeng—!

With a flick of her wrist, her Xueluo sword trembled slightly. A sharp and unmatched sword aura materialized but vanished in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Ye Lingyun’s face stiffened, and a grave expression appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, he clearly felt that while the sword aura dissipated into nothingness, an extremely sharp presence was rapidly gathering in the air. Its speed was already at its peak!

In a flash, the head of a scarecrow, a hundred steps away from them, broke off silently and fell.

Before the head could even hit the ground, the sword aura erupted from the scarecrow’s body, exploding outward in all directions!

One sword became countless swords!

Bang bang bang!

In a series of dull explosions, the area within several dozen steps of the scarecrow was filled with destructive sword energy, tearing apart the scarecrows and cracking the ground with hundreds of fissures. Dust flew everywhere.

This was the power of Great Snow No Trace without any spiritual energy involved, yet it was enough to obliterate all life within its range.

To avoid harming Ye Lingyun, Xue Yi had already greatly restrained the sword’s power.

Otherwise, with her nearing the Great Perfection realm, she could easily defeat opponents of the same level, let alone a few scarecrows, which were like ants.

[You have observed Startling Snow, snow light sword, unstoppable. You have comprehended the sword style Startling Snow, achieving perfection.]

[You have observed Frost Descent, snow falling from the sky, vast as an abyss. You have comprehended the sword style Frost Descent, achieving perfection.]

[You have observed Great Snow No Trace, returning to the origin, dividing into myriad swords. You have comprehended the sword style Great Snow No Trace, achieving perfection.]

The cold, emotionless prompt echoed in Ye Lingyun’s mind.

With his extraordinary comprehension, he had already grasped all the key aspects of the Falling Snow Sword Technique, reaping great rewards.

Xue Yi sheathed her sword and walked toward him, speaking calmly, “Young Master, this is my best sword technique, the Falling Snow Sword.”

Ye Lingyun smiled brightly, generously praising her, “Heh, Sister Xue, in my view, this stunning sword technique is nothing short of perfect.”

Hearing this, Xue Yi couldn’t help but smile faintly, “Alright, next I’ll teach you the incantations and techniques of this sword style. You can try practicing, and I’ll correct any mistakes you make.”

She clearly hadn’t anticipated that, after Ye Lingyun carefully observed and with his exceptional comprehension, he had already mastered the Falling Snow Sword Technique by now.

“Alright!”

However, Ye Lingyun didn’t say much more, simply nodding happily.

…

At the same time, outside the Great Chu Imperial Palace, the clear sky suddenly rippled, scattering the surrounding clouds. A slender figure in Daoist robes appeared.

Dongfang Yuqing had arrived.

With her hair pinned high and a calm expression, her cool gaze swept across the magnificent palace complex below, her figure suspended in the air.

Surrounded by an ethereal aura, a mysterious force encircled her, enhancing her already breathtaking beauty, making her appear even more otherworldly and intriguing.

Her celestial beauty, exclusive to Taoism, made one feel they should not approach, yet simultaneously, they couldn’t help but be drawn to her.

Her overwhelming presence reminded everyone that she was not someone to be trifled with.

The moment she appeared, she immediately caught the attention of the Empress Chu Xi, who had been lazily lying on her jade couch.

“This aura is…”

Chu Xi raised an eyebrow, her sleeve sweeping out, and a blinding golden light appeared. Her graceful figure vanished in an instant.

When she reappeared, Chu Xi was already hovering above the imperial palace.

Upon seeing the newcomer’s face, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she immediately flew toward her.

Dongfang Yuqing was a top-tier expert within the Dao Palace, with high prestige and status. Today, her visit to the Great Chu was an important event, and Chu Xi, the current Empress, naturally had to greet her in person.

Landing not far from Dongfang Yuqing, Chu Xi bowed elegantly, “Great Chu Empress greets you, Senior.”

Dongfang Yuqing withdrew her gaze from the palace below and glanced at Chu Xi, giving a slight nod in response.

“Senior, may I ask why you have come to our Great Chu?” Chu Xi asked softly, her gaze fixed on Dongfang Yuqing.

“I’m here to take a disciple,” Dongfang Yuqing replied.

Chu Xi was taken aback and asked, “Take a disciple? May I ask who you have chosen? I will send someone to bring them to you.”

Dongfang Yuqing made a gesture with her hand and said calmly, “No need. The person is already in the palace. Just go down and you’ll see.”

Hearing this, Chu Xi became even more puzzled but still smiled and gestured, “Since that’s the case, please, Senior.”
