Additionally, while wielding the sword, Shunguang herself shows herself capable of manipulating space, creating spatial-esque areas that can entrap opponents, as well as her attacks becoming capable of cutting through space itself)

Weaknesses

The Qingming Sword comes with great cost when utilizing it's power, starting off with the user becoming more forgetful and losing their memories, before eventually taking the user's five senses and absorbing them completely. Usage of the Qingming Sword often takes a heavy toll on Ye Shunguang, at best rendering her fatigued and at worst rendering her completely unconscious. It is worth noting that following the event's of 2.5's Main Story, as well as the events of the Sword Seeker Chronicles, Ye Shunguang has gained far better control over the Qingming Sword, mitigating it's negative effects and allowing her to utilize the sword without facing it's negative drawbacks.

Ranked #3 of 42 in Zenless Zone Zero by strength.
