Chapter 2159: Chapter 2156: Ice and Fire, a Unique Martial Arts Dao
Xiao Yi’s tone was not assertive.
His tone contained a sense of speculation and doubt.
Xiao Yi continued to gaze at the world of illusion.
His clear and deep eyes always focused, seemingly wanting to see the edge of this world.
After a while, Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze and shook his head.
Bang...
Xiao Yi’s hands opened wide, and a wisp of white ghostly cold flame appeared out of thin air.
The flame, entirely white, shimmered with a ghostly light.
At the instant the flame appeared, everyone around squinted their eyes.
"Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire?"
Indeed, it was one of the formidable flames in the world, Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire.
The flame’s outer layer glowed white, bitterly cold like ice.
Yet inside, the dancing flame was filled with scorching heat and an aura of silent annihilation.
Xiao Yi looked at the Senior Swordswoman and said, "In fact, as early as seven days ago, when I first witnessed your sword technique, I felt that your sword dao was somewhat similar to my Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire skill."
"No, I should say it even aligns," Xiao Yi added.
The eight Masters of the Main Hall perceived for a moment, nodded, and said, "Indeed so."
"One can’t say they are completely aligned, but there are nearly identical alignment points between the two."
"It feels like..." The Wind Shattering Palace Master frowned, speaking yet unsure.
"How to put it..."
Xiao Yi spoke solemnly, "It seems like the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire skill detached from the Ice Nether Sword Dao."
"But it also feels like the Ice Nether Sword Dao detached from the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire skill."
"Yes, that’s the feeling, very strange," the Wind Shattering Palace Master said solemnly.
Xiao Yi again looked at the illusionary world, "I also feel that within the Ice Nether Sword Dao, there are many things that the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire skill does not have."
"And the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire skill, conversely, has many things the Ice Nether Sword Dao does not have."
"What do you mean?" The Senior Swordswoman’s brow furrowed tightly, listening in confusion.
Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed as he said, "Within this illusionary world, at the end of the wind and snow, lies the place of the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire."
The eyes of the Senior Swordswoman instantly brightened, then she suddenly understood, "I understand what you mean now."
"No wonder I’ve always felt that in my current cultivation of the Ice Nether Sword Dao, there seems to be a faint hint of fire attribute, very subtle."
Xiao Yi nodded, "If I’m not mistaken, as you continue to cultivate the Ice Nether Sword Dao, and its level gets higher and higher, this feeling will become clearer."
"Of course, it’s just a hypothesis."
Having said this, Xiao Yi looked at the Senior Swordswoman and smiled, "I had you condense this Sword Dao mainly to take a look."
"Moreover, I wanted to see how these two opposing martial paths of ice and fire can be integrated."
Right now, in the Ice Nether Sword Dao of the Senior Swordswoman, there contains a hint of fire attribute, though very faint, it exists.
This also indicates that the Ice Nether Sword Dao surprisingly can simultaneously contain both ice and fire, which is something that Xiao Yi has been puzzled by and wants to unravel.
"Ah, I see." The Senior Swordswoman smiled smugly, "You rascal, want to learn the Ice Nether Sword Dao?"
"Sure, I can teach you."
The Senior Swordswoman’s tone was full of pride and even a bit flippant.
"But with a condition, you must return with me to the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect and inherit the Sword Sect."
"Hm?" On the side, the eight Masters of the Main Hall changed color, "No way."
"Absolutely not."
The Asura Hall Master stared at the Senior Swordswoman in displeasure, "I say, young girl, aren’t you being a bit too unkind?"
"The Ice Saint’s Holy Pill was gifted to you by me."
"That is why you were able to find the Ice Saint Inheritance and attained your current powerful cultivation strength."
The Senior Swordswoman glared beautifully, "What’s the matter? The things I obtained by my own strength have nothing to do with you?"
"At worst, I’ll return my Martial Arts Saint Pill to you some other time."
"When it comes to Xiao Yi inheriting, there’s no backing down. Back then, my Master admonished repeatedly that the inheritance of the Sword Sect must not break..."
"Hmph." The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master snorted coldly, instantly interrupting.
"What’s so great about the Ice Nether Sword Dao?"
"The Eight Palaces, each has its own treasures, the Asura has the Ice Saint’s Holy Pill, the fellow named Luoo has the Dawn Bell, and my Demon Hunting Main Hall has something with a longer legacy."
The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master proudly looked at Xiao Yi, "Yi Xiao, I mean, Xiao Yi boy, with your pride, I don’t think you would want another’s already obtained inheritance, then falsely pass it down to you."
"Return to my Demon Hunting Main Hall to inherit, take that thing, I assure you, with your abilities, you can definitely find an opportunity not inferior to the Ice Nether Sword Dao’s, no, even one that surpasses it."
"Heh." Senior Luoo smiled indifferently, "If it’s not something suitable for yourself, no matter how precious, no matter how ancient, no matter the heavenly opportunity it is, what’s the use?"
"Boy." Senior Luoo gazed at Xiao Yi, "I think I’ve remembered, the first 5 minutes I guided you back in the day."
"You asked me about these matters of martial arts, about the difficulty of water and fire blending."
"Back then, I advised you, why trouble yourself? Just walk the martial arts path that feels most comfortable to you."
"You also heeded my advice then and stopped being entangled, which allowed you to grow step by step into today, achieving your current Saint Sovereign cultivation."
A faint look of long-suppressed pride flashed across Senior Luoo’s face.
"At that time, I didn’t clarify things with you, just told you not to be entangled."
"Now, I’ll tell you, ice and fire, are not unable to blend, just extremely difficult, even perhaps no one can achieve it."
"Today, you specifically ask about this Ice Nether Sword Dao matter with the real purpose of uniting your whole Sword Dao, Ice Dao, and Fire Control skill, right?"
"Hmph." Senior Luoo snorted coldly, sweeping his gaze over the Asura Hall Master, Demon Hunting Main Hall Master, and Senior Swordswoman.
Then, his gaze returned to Xiao Yi, "I tell you, even I can’t do it."
"I even believe, even the Ice Saint Senior back then might not have done it."
"As you said, the Ice Saint Senior probably hadn’t fully perfected this Third Sword Dao, the Ice Nether Sword Dao either."
"But I know someone who, countless years ago, started delving into this quandary of martial arts."
"Who?" Xiao Yi couldn’t help but ask.
Senior Luoo stood with his hands behind his back, proudly saying, "A peer of mine, also a close friend, one of the Flame Dragon Six Venerable Masters, the Ice Venerable."
"Millions of years ago, that old fellow was already trying to merge ice and fire."
"Taking his own martial path of ice and integrating it with the Fire Dao."
Senior Luoo’s words ended here.
The name Ice Venerable alone was already enough to represent a lot.
The results of the Ice Venerable’s countless years of personal attempts must be extraordinary too.
"He single-handedly pioneered a unique martial arts path, though it’s not too long and not quite successful."
"But in the end, he managed to tread that path."
"I believe that with your abilities, you can certainly go further and longer on this path."
Senior Luoo spoke solemnly, "Come back with me to the Black Demon Hall, then everything is negotiable."
"This..." Xiao Yi frowned, hesitating.
On the side, the Asura Hall Master, Demon Hunting Main Hall Master, and others’ expressions changed suddenly.
The Wind Shattering Palace Master directly mocked, "Luoo, what’s the difference between you and a rogue now? Dignified Luoo Venerable, don’t you even care about your face?"
