Chapter 2255 - 2258: Power, Soaring Wildly!

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh!

The sound of the cold wind arose beside his ears, waves of piercing cold penetrating from the outside to the inside, burrowing into his bones.

Amidst intense pain, Qin Tian awoke.

"I... I'm not dead?"

Waking up to find himself still in the courtyard of the Daoist temple, with his whole body chilled, Qin Tian's first reaction was that he was still alive.

That strange red aura had frozen his Dan Tian Qi Sea, yet he was unharmed?

Qin Tian was amazed. He hurriedly stood up, circulated his Qi to examine his Dan Tian Qi Sea and the meridians throughout his body, and sure enough, he was unharmed.

More than unharmed, his Dan Tian Qi Sea had actually returned to normal from its frozen state.

Aside from some moisture on his body, Qin Tian checked his condition multiple times and found no difference from before he fell unconscious.

"Haha, where did that aura go?"

After many checks, Qin Tian was certain that there was no trace of that aura within his body.

"Could it have disappeared on its own?"

With questions in his heart, Qin Tian got up, found a quiet place to change into clean clothes, and then searched around the Daoist temple without finding anything unusual.

At this moment, the aura continued to surge within this little blessed land, confirming in Qin Tian's heart that it was a precious cultivation place.

Especially for the Sword Drawing Technique he needed to cultivate, the abundant Water Attribute True Qi here seemed almost tailor-made for him, providing a natural cultivation ground. Qin Tian decided to retreat for cultivation in this small blessed land.

"The cultivation of the Sword Drawing Technique mainly focuses on the intent and momentum coming first. Only when the sword is truly drawn does it enter the final stage..."

Standing in the woods of the small blessed land, Qin Tian silently recalled Wang Tianqing's instructions, while holding the Red Sword, slowly beginning to operate as described in the "Sword Drawing Technique."

Braving the wind and rain, even though Qin Tian grasped some key points and understood he needed to use Water Attribute True Qi to create momentum, his initial attempts, numbering hundreds, failed to achieve even entry-level effects — at most, his True Qi shot out, causing some damage to the trees ahead, but this was only damage caused by Qin Tian's True Qi, unrelated to the Sword Drawing Technique.

So he kept trying over and over, probing repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, a month passed.

"Sword Drawing Technique!"

Swoosh!

That day, amid Qin Tian's eighteen thousand nine hundred and twenty-ninth attempt, suddenly, as he shouted the three words "Sword Drawing Technique," the surrounding Cold Ice True Qi abruptly condensed!

Then, as soon as Qin Tian performed the sword-drawing action!

The massive towering tree he had locked onto as his imaginary enemy suddenly showed a crack!

Qin Tian saw a beam of light, like a laser, strike toward the tree at the moment he drew his sword, moving as swiftly as lightning!

Boom!

The towering tree's crack suddenly expanded, and then it split directly in half!

The impact was immense, and the surrounding cold ice aura gradually dissipated...

Watching this scene, Qin Tian's haggard face finally broke into a knowing smile.

Entry-level attained.

After more than a month, he finally reached entry-level cultivation.

But it wasn't enough; currently, this move could absolutely threaten immortality cultivators below the Ascension Stage, yet when confronting opponents at or above that stage, it might only cause some superficial injuries.

Worse yet, opponents could easily evade.

With entry-level experience, Qin Tian did not rush for immediate success. For the next few days, he consistently practiced using the entry-level tricks, mastering the Sword Drawing Technique's entry-level moves.

The saying goes, practice makes perfect, and Qin Tian now had some mastery over this technique, noticing the power of the entry-level move fluctuating.

About when it becomes more powerful, it seems that when his Water Attribute True Qi further condenses around the Red Sword, the move's power increases.

This discovery seemed to open doors for his upcoming cultivation.

As Elder Limp and Wang Tianqing had said, truly refining the Sword Drawing Technique to the Small Success Realm involves flexible use of Water Attribute True Qi being the key!

Following this mindset, Qin Tian continued to explore and cultivate diligently.

Due to his already strong Water Attribute True Qi combined with the Water Attribute True Qi cultivation enhancement in the mysterious little blessed land, in the third month, Qin Tian finally cultivated the Sword Drawing Technique to the Small Success Realm!

Boom!

Boom!

The Sword Drawing Technique at the Small Success Realm, upon drawing the sword, with just a single movement, the giant tree locked by Qin Tian as a target was instantly frozen by Cold Ice True Qi!

Then the entire massive tree was uprooted in the blink of an eye, exploding in mid-air!

Branches split into pieces, dirt scattered all around!

Standing in the woods, Qin Tian stroked his beard, his heart finally at ease.

Three months of day and night cultivation finally paid off; he succeeded in mastering the Small Success stage of the Sword Drawing Technique, an extraordinary feat!

These three months, for cultivation, he hardly ate or drank, neglecting everything else, his clothes stinking, his beard growing more than ten centimeters long — Qin Tian, in the woods, resembled a wild man.

Qin Tian approached the lake, gaze locked on the lake's surface, and activated the Sword Drawing Technique again.

Boom boom boom!

When Qin Tian drew his sword, the calm lake echoed with three continuous blasts. Portions of the water, upon leaving the surface and splattering, instantly transformed into ice!

Such power wasn't achievable using his previous aura alone.

Moreover, this speed was almost ten times faster than other techniques Qin Tian employed.

The Sword Drawing Technique, once a target is locked, unless it immediately escapes his line of sight, it cannot dodge — only counter!

In the following two days, after consolidating the Small Success stage moves and Mnemonic of the Sword Drawing Technique, he was thoroughly adept.

Afterward, he jumped into the lake, enjoyed a comfortable bath, shaved his beard, changed clothes, and returned to his formerly elegant state.

Qin Tian knew well by then, it's just over a month until the spring Martial Arts Competition.

He wasn't planning to go out early; with the Sword Drawing Technique reaching the Small Success stage, why not strive for Great Success?

Though Wang Tianqing previously told Qin Tian that there were hardly any who could achieve Great Success with the Sword Drawing Technique among the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, its difficulty unimaginable.

But switching cultivation technique secrets temporarily over the next month might not yield results, so he decided to go all-in and hoped for a breakthrough with the Sword Drawing Technique.

For ten consecutive days, he continued trying, and sure enough, failure persisted, as if after reaching the Small Success stage, Great Success appeared unreachable, hope unseen.

"Hmm?"

Despite repeated failure, Qin Tian unexpectedly gained something.

After executing a Small Success Sword Drawing Technique, another discovery — he broke through!

Cultivation, a step further!
