Cultivation knew no time.
Spring passed, summer passed, autumn came, and winter arrived at the end of autumn.
The lush greenery that covered the mountains had already withered. Only the tenacious trees were still standing, no matter how the wind and rain battered them.
A figure was strolling in the mountains as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the backyard. He was leisurely and carefree, like the rolling clouds.
The wind that blew past was ice-cold like a blade. It scraped against the face, causing a slight stinging sensation.
The strolling figure suddenly stopped. He raised his head and saw white snowflakes drifting down from the gloomy sky. They filled the sky and covered the earth, boundless and endless. They were like fairies that descended from the sky, dancing between the heaven and earth. They fluttered under the biting cold winter wind.
Chu Mu extended his hand. A white snowflake quietly fell into his palm. It was a white sparkling snowflake that was chilling to the bone.
With a slight tremble of his hand, the sparkling snowflake dissipated between the heaven and earth. More snowflakes fell from the sky, illuminating the mountains and plains in white. The heaven and earth were filled with snowflakes.
It was snowing.
This was the first time Chu Mu had encountered snow since he came to the Deep Blue World. It was very rare.
Standing on the mountain and looking at the falling snow, the heaven and earth seemed to be silent. Only the sound of the falling snowflakes could be heard. It became clear and gradually magnified in his ears, filling the entire world.
Under the absolute silence, his origin spirit moved slightly. The power of the soul in his spiritual world was mobilized and spread out in a strange way. The power of the soul seemed to have turned into flowers, fusing with the snowflakes and spreading out. Starting from the surrounding snowflakes, the power of the soul spread further and further.
… …
"It's snowing …"
"When was the last time it snowed?"
"It was about fifty years ago …"
"Is this snow? It's my first time seeing it. It's quite nice. "
Not only was there snow falling in the True Sword Sect, there was also snow falling in other places of the Canglan Empire.
The large amount of white snow was like fairies dancing between heaven and earth. It was everywhere in the mountains, forests, plains, and swamps.
The snowfall this time was much larger than before. Not only did it cover the entire Canglan Empire, but it even covered most of the surrounding regions. It could be said that it was the first time in several thousand years that such a large snowfall had occurred.
The temperature was getting lower and lower. Ordinary people had no choice but to wear thick cotton-padded jackets to keep out the cold. Cultivators with lower cultivation bases could not help but feel the cold invading their bodies. They had to be prepared to keep out the cold, otherwise they might be affected.
As for the cultivators with higher cultivation, they were still dressed in long robes. They were not afraid of the cold and the heat. The coldness brought by the falling snow was not enough to threaten them.
In many places, children wearing thick cotton-padded jackets like wrapped rice dumplings were building snowmen and having snowball fights. They were having a great time. Some cultivators who practiced special cultivation methods also took the opportunity to practice without restraint.
Snow had the power of snow. Normally, it would be difficult to comprehend the power of snow when cultivating techniques related to snow because it had been many years since it last snowed. However, it was different now. With such heavy snow, it brought about a clear and direct feeling, making it easier to comprehend.
Under such heavy snow, many cultivators who cultivated snow cultivation methods and comprehended the power of snow all made great progress and became even stronger.
…
In the heavy snow, two people were facing each other on a mountain peak. They were the two core disciples of the True Sword Sect.
"Senior brother Lin, the next move is a sword technique that I just comprehended. Please give me some pointers." The person on the left cupped his hands and said.
"Junior brother is too polite. Come," said senior brother Lin on the right.
"Senior brother Lin, this move of mine is called Sky Full of Snow." As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed out with his sword. The sword pierced into the snow and seemed to be assimilated by the snow. It could not be seen or heard, only the sound of falling snow.
Senior brother Lin narrowed his eyes and stared straight ahead. In the falling snow, there seemed to be a sharp Sword Light flashing. In the end, it was only a newly developed sword technique. It was still rather crude. It seemed mysterious, but there were actually traces to be found.
Under the Sword Light, snowflakes flew over. Each snowflake was like a sharp sword, bringing with it a terrifying sharpness that could cut through everything.
"Crude, barely half a move …" Chu Mu, who had merged his consciousness with the snowflakes, 'saw' this scene.
"Unending River!" Senior brother Lin roared. The moment he stabbed out, the Sword Light burst out. In an instant, Senior brother Lin had stabbed out countless times. Each strike brought with it a resplendent Sword Light, converging into a long river of Sword Light that surged endlessly.
Under Chu Mu's perception, all the mysteries of this move were clearly revealed.
Unending River was a unique move that senior brother Lin had developed after studying the Long River Sword Technique that Chu Mu had created. He had combined the essence of the Long River Sword Technique with his own understanding and many battles.
This move was much more complete and powerful than the Flying Snow that he had created himself.
The falling snow was torn apart by the Unending River Sword Light, turning into fragments of snow that rolled back, sending the opponent flying. At the same time, it also created a vacuum. After a moment of pause, more snow fell and filled the vacuum.
…
"A snowflake is a sword. How many snowflakes is a sword …"
A figure stood silently in the snow. His sword was sheathed, and his hand gripped the hilt. His eyes shone brightly. He was completely covered in snow, turning into a snowman.
One breath. Two breaths. Three breaths …
Fifteen minutes … Fifteen minutes … Thirty minutes …
The melodious hum of a sword rang out in the silent world. It rippled outwards, and a ring of silver ripples seemed to spread outwards. Soon after, a sword stabbed out. The Sword Light dispersed, fusing into the falling snow and falling from the sky. Every snowflake possessed an astonishing sharpness, but the moment they landed, they dissipated into nothingness. This was because the snowflakes could not withstand the power of the sword.
The power of the soul fused into the snowflakes, constantly spreading outwards. Very soon, it enveloped the entire True Sword Sect. It continued to spread outwards, moving further and further away from the True Sword Sect.
Everything that happened under the cover of the power of the soul was sensed by Chu Mu. He could clearly 'see' everything.
The sudden snowfall gave Chu Mu a different kind of insight.
"If … I can make my power be like the snowflakes, boundless and omnipresent …"
The thought only flashed through Chu Mu's mind. He knew that it was impossible. Perhaps only supreme experts, emperors, or even Saint Kings, could achieve this.
With a thought, a thought flashed through his head. Afterwards, Chu Mu unleashed his Sword Domain.
The Sword Domain was unleashed at full force. With Chu Mu as the center, it covered a radius of three thousand meters in the blink of an eye. The power of the Sword Domain was invisible. It could not be seen. It could only be felt.
Under the Sword Domain, all the falling snow suddenly froze. Space seemed to freeze, and everything came to a standstill.
Within a radius of three thousand meters, there were countless falling snowflakes. They were suspended in mid-air as if they had been frozen. The scene looked very unique.
"Disperse!" Chu Mu called out. Within the Sword Domain, he was the ruler.
With that, the frozen snowflakes in the air dispersed in the blink of an eye. They completely vanished, as if they had never appeared in the first place.
An even stranger scene appeared. With Chu Mu as the center, a three thousand meter radius was completely empty. Yet, beyond that, there were countless snowflakes floating down.
Soon after, Chu Mu's mind moved, and the snow falling from the sky once again fell into the sword domain and froze.
Chu Mu analysed the falling snow. His power of the soul fused into every single snowflake, comprehending its mysteries.
The snow did not seem to possess any power, but it still possessed its mysteries. Chu Mu's burst of inspiration made him try again. He wanted to see if he could guide sword intent and sword force into the falling snow and fuse it with the Sword Domain to strengthen it.
The most basic Sword Domain only had the ability to weaken the opponent's strength and speed and increase his own strength and speed. Even if he cultivated it to the limit, it would not change. It would only weaken stronger enemies. However, the developed Sword Domain was different from the most basic Sword Domain.
Now, Chu Mu was walking down the path of comprehending the Sword Domain to a higher level.
The falling snow and the power in the sky transformed the power of the falling snow into a type of power within the Sword Domain, assisting the Sword Domain in attacking enemies within.
He tried again and again, failing again and again. After failing, he summed up his shortcomings and continued to try, improving bit by bit.
The Eternal Sword Intent fused into the snowflakes. The Eternal Force made the snowflakes seem to have solidified, preventing them from melting. The Sword Intent increased the power of the snowflakes, making them as sharp as swords. Combined with Sword Origin and Sword Force, each snowflake seemed to have become a sword that had been tempered thousands of times. They possessed terrifying power.
With Chu Mu's current ability, he could only create a hundred snowflakes.
"Fall!" With a low shout, as if it was the command of a ruler, the hundred snowflakes that contained astonishing sharpness and power seemed to have transformed into divine swords that fell from the sky. They stabbed towards Chu Mu as if they could slay gods and demons.
Chu Mu wielded both swords. He directly used the Sword Style of the Acala. The moment he used the Sword Style, Chu Mu felt as if his feet had formed a close connection with the earth. Many arms grew out of his body. Each arm held a sword. As they swung, they defended against the hundred falling swords.
These hundred swords were the product of the combination of Chu Mu's Sword Intent, Sword Origin, and Sword Force within the Sword Domain. They possessed great power. Every time he defended against them, he could feel a huge impact.
When Chu Mu defended against all the hundred snowflake swords, small nicks appeared on one of the swords in his hands. This was an ordinary Heavenly Saint Sword. It couldn't be compared to the Eternal Spirit Sword, but it was still very hard and resilient. Under the snowflake swords, there were nicks on it. It was enough to show that the snowflake swords' sharpness was very astonishing.
"Not bad power. I'll use it as the first form of the Sword Domain," Chu Mu thought.
