From the chaotic sea of ​​stars, it began to wreak havoc on all the heavens.

Chapter 211 Bingling
Of course, this only applies to power.

What truly matters is the artistic conception.

If one hasn't fully grasped the essence of the art, it's merely powerful in name only, and can be easily countered.

Take Lin Yun, the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Meteor Sect, which is one of the two sixth-grade sects in the Ice Crystal Empire, along with the Ice Absolute Sect.

In another six months, it will be the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition.

At that time, his top-tier Earth-level cultivation technique, the Heavenly Meteor Grand Art, will reach the eleventh level. In terms of cultivation technique level, only Sikong Sheng, the eldest disciple of Suspended Mountain, and Yan Chihuo, the eldest disciple of Fire Spirit Hall, can surpass him.

The only one who could rival him was Tuoba Ku, who had also cultivated a top-tier Earth-level defensive technique to the eleventh level.

In other words, his basic strength is already enough to rank him in the top five or even the top three.

However, his application of artistic conception was not mature enough. In layman's terms, his combat skills were lacking. Coupled with his arrogance, he lost to Murong Qingcheng, the second disciple of the Flying Demon Sect. His mentality collapsed, leading to repeated defeats.

Originally, they were poised to secure a top-five finish and even contend for a top-three position, but have since fallen to seventh.

Thinking about it, it really is quite tragic.

After pondering for a while, the true qi circuit diagram and mental incantation of the first three forms of the Aohan Blade Technique appeared in Qin Sheng's mind.

Qin Sheng's figure flashed, transforming into a phantom, and he rushed to a valley shrouded in a blizzard. He began to comprehend it.

The profound meaning of the "Aohan" sword technique is best understood in such a freezing, wind-swept place.

"A chilling glance!"

After meditating quietly for an hour, Qin Sheng placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword and instantly drew the Fine Snow Blade.

Chi!
A giant snowflake the size of a tire appeared in the air, transformed into blade-like energy, and shot out, cutting a vacuum zone in the storm-shrouded valley.

The vacuum zone extends all the way to the valley wall, where a deep groove is cut, leading all the way to the top of the valley.

"Such sharp swordsmanship." Qin Sheng was somewhat surprised.

Logically speaking, the Aohan Blade Technique, imbued with the essence of Aohan, should be quite sharp and fierce. However, while it is indeed fierce, its sharpness has not diminished like that of a Nascent Soul cultivator; on the contrary, it has been enhanced to an extremely high degree. It possesses a sense of both strength and gentleness.

"Three feet of ice!"

The second sword move was unleashed, and a giant, illusory snowflake flashed, giving rise to more than a dozen unevenly layered sword beams, which swiftly slashed through the air, turning the entire valley into ruins. The final sword beam drew a stunning arc.

Cut the entire rock face off, then freeze it.

The frozen rock face shattered into billions of ice crystals upon impact, dissipating with the wind.

"Red apricot blossoms in the snow!"

The third move of the Aohan Blade Technique was unleashed. Blade energy as red as apricot blossoms swept across the valley, eventually splitting it in two and creating a deep passage large enough for one person to pass through, with shattered ice flying everywhere.

"The more powerful the sword technique, the more it seems to help in comprehending the sword intent. After just a simple study of the Snow-Proud Sword Technique, my sword intent has already shown signs of improvement. However, the Cold-Proud Intent is exceptionally easy to comprehend. If I can comprehend it to perfection and then integrate it with the ice and wind intents that are similar to it, I think I should be able to transform this sword technique into a true top-tier Earth-level sword technique."

Although he had not yet fully mastered the first three moves, Qin Sheng had already gained a preliminary understanding of the power of the Snowfall Blade Technique.

Once he masters it, it won't be inferior to that top-tier Earth-level sword technique.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the usually peaceful Ice Absolute Sect suddenly became lively.

The main hall plaza of the Ice Absolute Sect.

A large number of disciples dressed in white robes surrounded them.

And disciples kept pouring into the square. The noise filled the entire area.

"Damn, my attack power is only 47, how is that possible?" "Mine is only 49, let's try again."

"Hehe, mine is over fifty."

"."

Just as everyone was discussing, a voice suddenly silenced the crowd in the square, "Look, Senior Sister Bingling is here."

Everyone consciously made way for her, and then a woman with a high ponytail, two strands of bangs on her forehead, a cold and noble appearance, wearing a white Taoist robe, pure and immaculate, unlike any mortal, walked gracefully to a stone pillar standing in the center of the square.

This stone pillar is ten feet tall and three feet wide. The lower half of the pillar is covered with a crystal plate, which is inlaid with eight rows of crystals, ten in each row.

In general.

When an attack from a Qi Refining Realm martial artist lands on it, a maximum of twenty lights will illuminate.

The Condensation Realm can light up a maximum of forty lights.

A maximum of sixty lights can be lit up in the Embracing Origin Realm.

When it lights up, it means you have reached the peak of these three realms respectively.

The twentieth, fortieth, and sixtieth beads were all tampered with.

When it lights up, in addition to its original color, it will also emit three other colors.

This represents breaking through the three limits of that realm.

Take sixty as an example.

If you light up sixty, it means your strength has reached the peak of the late stage of the Embracing Origin Realm.

If it's the sixtieth one, it will turn red after lighting up, which means its attack power has surpassed that of most late-stage peak martial artists in the Embracing Yuan Realm.

It can contend with the most powerful level six demonic beasts, that is, the level six demonic beast overlords.

If it's purple, it means you've broken the second limit of a Yuan-embracing martial artist, and are able to kill a level six demon beast overlord with relatively little difficulty.

If it is black, it can instantly kill a level six demon beast overlord, making it virtually invincible below the Star Realm.

This was clearly a test pillar used to test a martial artist's attack power.

Bingling stood in front of the attack power test pillar and casually threw a punch.

boom!
Ice shards scattered everywhere, and the first sixty crystals lit up almost simultaneously, with the last one turning purple.

This casual strike from Bingling already possessed the attack power to break through the second limit of a martial artist in the Yuan Realm.

"The sixtieth one is purplish, terrifying. Three years ago, Senior Sister Bingling was only at the early stage of the Embracing Yuan Realm, yet she still managed to achieve a score of sixty. She won eighth place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Now, three years later, her cultivation has reached the peak of the late stage of the Embracing Yuan Realm. Senior Sister Bingling's strength has progressed rapidly, and she probably already has the strength to challenge for the top five or even the top three on the Hidden Dragon Ranking."

"Don't even mention the top three, we could even compete for first place."

"Indeed, this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking is a once-in-a-millennium event. With Senior Sister Bingling's strength and talent, she will surely win the first place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and bring boundless fortune to our Bingjue Sect."

The entire audience erupted in uproar. The disciples were all incredibly amazed, and some even believed that Bingling already possessed the strength to contend for the top spot on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Despite the crowd's discussion, Bingling showed no sign of pride. She simply nodded slightly towards the high platform of the Ice Absolute Sect's main hall above the testing pillar.

Then leave.

On that high platform, two figures were standing.

One was a mature and beautiful woman around thirty years old, and the other looked to be twenty-four or twenty-five years old, dressed in white, with a cool and aloof temperament, and her appearance was surprisingly three or four parts similar to Bingling.
