The Unadorned Art of Calming the Sea and Waves. Heh, heh.
The Five Splendors Art of Sinful Seas and Passionate Waves!
This was Qingqiu Forest's clan-protecting cultivation art, which Hu Qian Ning had used before.
Just listen to those two names. They were needlepoint against wheat awn, neither yielding an inch!
One ice, one fire!
Qingqiu Forest might merely have been at odds with the Infinite Hall, but it had a blood feud with the Ice Palace.
The tangled history behind that could wait for another time.
The Unadorned Art of Calming the Sea and Waves was primarily an ice-attribute cultivation art. Anyone without an exceptionally powerful ice-attribute martial soul absolutely could not dabble in it.
This art followed an extreme path of cultivation, guiding its practitioners to absorb high-quality ice-attribute soul power and circulate that force through their meridians and flesh.
Eventually, every inch of skin and every meridian would brim with this freezing power, turning the body into a vessel for storing ice-attribute soul power.
More unusually still, this art employed an extreme method to forcibly batter open the practitioner's other soul nest, creating an entirely new space to store even greater quantities of ice-attribute soul power.
In short, this art tempered people as though they were ice. Through repeated forging and polishing, it ultimately molded a true "Heavenly Snow Woman," a woman made of ice.
In the terms of mystical cultivation, it forged an acquired, imitation Nine Yin Severed Meridians constitution within the practitioner's body, or even a Profound Yin Body.
