Chapter 685 - 216: Dao Rival Hami
However, as Zi Yuan initiated her move, the world froze, and the myriad waves calmed.
The sword descended—
A streak of silver flashed from the petite girl’s hand!
The iron curtain shrouding the sea and sky emitted a teeth-clenching sound, splitting from the sky to the ocean floor under this silver streak!
The sky over the sea was initially covered with billowing dark clouds, and the waves beneath her feet were restless.
Beneath the fierce wind, a small crack opened up in the sky, allowing warm sunlight to pierce through.
It fell upon the waters, which too, had been split apart.
The seabed, destined never to see the light of day, was graced with a sliver of daylight.
"Protego Totalum (Total Protection)!"
Qianzhen Cao’s choice was simple; she unfolded her defense.
According to the spell’s setting, it generates a powerful long-term protective barrier over a defined area, which can be stacked with multiple protective spells.
But Qianzhen Cao had no time to unfold and stack other protective spells; she simply channeled the maximum magic power into the spell in one breath.
Then she flipped around and dodged!
The sword’s light was momentarily impeded, and then it instantly shattered her broomstick!
Without the broom, Qianzhen Cao began plummeting towards the ground...
Of course, it wasn’t because she couldn’t fly.
But according to her own set up, without a broomstick, she couldn’t fly.
As the current Daoist Master intending to establish the Harry Potter Lineage, one must never defy one’s own setting!
As she fell, she hurriedly conjured a magic broom.
Only then did she stabilize herself, preventing herself from crashing into the ocean floor.
Even the pointed tip of her witch’s hat was cleaved by the sword, making Qianzhen Cao wince with heartache.
Without thinking too much, she immediately turned and looked towards their Sect Leader again.
Zi Yuan’s attack wouldn’t just be a one-time occurrence.
The more powerful the disciple, the more extravagant the attacks they endure...
Standing between heaven and sea, the purple magical girl turned her hand to sheathe the sword, making a gesture as if to draw it again.
Behind her, a sea wall stood like a mountain, and the abyss between sky and sea in front of her was as grand as a metaphor!
This sword once again froze heaven and earth!
Qianzhen Cao reached out and pinched back the point of her witch’s hat, then took a deep breath.
She knew this sword was likely to cut her back to her original form.
Although Lady Zi Yuan wouldn’t really land a killing blow, once reduced to her original form, her plan to establish a new Harry Potter path would be impossible.
For Harry Potter!
She couldn’t lose!
She must make the Sect Master acknowledge Harry Potter!
As Zi Yuan gathered strength and drew the sword, Qianzhen Cao’s magic wand suddenly changed color.
From its original black, it turned into a grayish-white appearance.
Even Zi Yuan’s cold eyes showed a hint of astonishment.
At the moment the magnificent sword qi was unleashed, Qianzhen Cao’s magic wand suddenly erupted with a large amount of gray-white residue!
Entwining around all the sword qi!
"Expelliarmus (Disarm)!"
The gray-white residue swiftly consumed the sword qi, and even surged forward, intending to swallow Lady Zi Yuan’s ancient and rustic immortal sword as well!
It even wanted to engulf the magic armor along the sword.
It was only when Zi Yuan unleashed her magic power and incinerated it, that it finally vanished.
The sword qi disappeared, the sea slowly melded back together, even issuing a rumble, and the sliver of sky gradually became shrouded by the thick clouds once more.
Zi Yuan hovered above Qianzhen Cao, "Residual magic power?"
"Heh heh." Qianzhen Cao, though panting heavily, almost unable to get up, lay slumped over her broom.
After all, using the gray-white residue’s magic to nullify the Sect Master’s weapon was no easy matter.
It drained all her magic power and energy.
"Well, Sect Master, impressive, right? This is our Harry Potter compatibility..."
"Stop talking nonsense, where did your residual magic power come from?"
Qianzhen Cao obediently replied while lying on her broom, "Lord Bingtang ordered us to keep watch over some known Old World tracks, learned during battles, and then I used the Harry Potter cultivation method to integrate the residue magic power into my own system."
Zi Yuan fell silent.
Knowing about residual magic power, or even coming into contact with it, wasn’t a rarity.
Many magical girls in the Cyan Cloud Sect were researching this area of knowledge.
But hardly anyone could directly figure out how to use it, like Qianzhen Cao.
"Did you figure it out alone?"
"Yes."
Whereupon Zi Yuan felt a sense of exasperated disappointment.
If she had just followed the orthodox path of cultivation immortality, how great it would be!
Such a good talent, wasted on dabbling in unorthodox methods, simply a waste of heaven’s bounty!
Zi Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "The method to manipulate gray-white residue was researched using our Cyan Cloud Sect orthodox immortal law."
"Huh?"
Qianzhen Cao was taken aback, "But Sect Master, I used Harry Potter..."
"I’ll open a separate branch for you, so you can go recruit disciples on your own."
Qianzhen Cao blinked and instantly understood, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, yes, this method was researched with our Cyan Cloud Sect’s orthodox cultivation method!"
"Hmph."
Zi Yuan snorted coldly, saying nothing more.
If people knew such an important method was researched using the Harry Potter setting, it would be a disgrace to the ancestors.
She couldn’t allow it.
Stepping back and giving her a sub-sect to recruit disciples was no big deal.
Qianzhen Cao cheerfully looked at Zi Yuan, climbing off her broom:
"Our Harry Potter spells, don’t they look a lot like spells in the Cultivation Realm?"
"In what way?"
"Like in terms of effects, usage methods, don’t our orthodox cultivations also require chanting spells? Things like ’urgent and as per the decree’ or such."
"How many online novels did you seriously read? Can you even consider that orthodox cultivation?"
"That’s what people online always say..." Qianzhen Cao cautiously flew next to the Sect Master, "Sect Master, in the future, do we have a chance for our Harry Potter Lineage to be integrated into the orthodox Cyan Cloud Sect?"
"Don’t even think about it!"
"Oh..."
Zi Yuan was too tired to bicker over these trivial matters with Qianzhen Cao any longer:
"Tell me, how do you use your gray-white residue?"
