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

Chapter 214 Participation
"Have you grasped the essence of the sword?"

A glint of anticipation flashed in the eyes of the Ice Absolute Sect Master. If he could comprehend the sword intent, then a top-ten finish would be a sure thing.

"Two months ago, my sword intent had already reached 60%."

Bingqing made a surprising statement.

Now, the members of the Ice Absolute Sect could no longer remain calm.

The Ice Absolute Sect Master could no longer hide his joy. "That's right, now my Ice Absolute Sect has at least two disciples who can enter the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and they are two of the very top ones."

The other elders also smiled sincerely, "Yes, Sect Master, Qin Sheng is indeed exceptionally talented, no wonder he is valued by Elder Bingqing."

"Okay. Elder Bingqing, please take him to the square to gather in half an hour. Also, tell him that as long as he breaks into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, our sect will make an exception and teach him the supreme technique of the Ice Absolute Sect, the Ice Heart Technique."

The Ice Absolute Sect Master then made a bold statement.

Upon hearing this, Bingqing inwardly groaned, but at the same time, a strange sense of joy arose within her.

As a top-tier Earth-level cultivation technique of the Ice Absolute Sect, the Ice Heart Technique can only be practiced by the sect leader, his successors, and core elders.

If Qin Sheng could obtain the Ice Heart Technique, perhaps they could really keep him in the Ice Absolute Sect.

A moment later, the sect gathering ended.

The crowd gradually dispersed, each returning home with joy to prepare for their departure to the Hidden Dragon Ancient Land in half an hour.

Only Bingqing left, her heart heavy with worries.

With mixed feelings, she flew to Qin Sheng's courtyard and stood before his room. She raised her hand to knock, but hesitated and then withdrew it.

Just as she was hesitating, Qin Sheng's voice suddenly rang out from behind her, "What do you need me for?"

Bingqing took a deep breath, turned around, and said coldly, "The sect leader asked me to inform you to meet at the main hall square later, in preparation for heading to the Hidden Dragon Ancient Land. Oh, you've broken through?"

"Yes, I just broke through a few days ago." Qin Sheng nodded.

Then, looking towards the direction of the sect's main hall, he said, "Since it's time, let's set off."

"Hmm." The two stopped talking, leaped out of the courtyard, and headed towards the main hall square.

Throughout the journey, Qin Sheng remained silent, but Bing Qing seemed hesitant to speak.

Qin Sheng casually said, "Master, please speak your mind."

Although the other party was forced into it, it did save him a lot of trouble over the past year.

Moreover, he had tasted the flavors of mother and daughter, as well as the flavors of married women, disciples, and spirit pets, but he had never tried to rebel against his master and disciple.

Now that we have the chance, shouldn't we try it?

However, he also knew that in this world that values ​​martial arts willpower, it was not so easy for a talented woman to fall in love with a man.

This is especially true for the most talented.

Moreover, Bingqing in front of him is a swordsman whose sword intent has reached 90%.

Bingqing was unaware of Qin Sheng's true nature. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "What are your plans after the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition ends?"

"I will go into seclusion to refine my true essence, attempt to break through to the Star Realm, and then venture into the True Spirit Continent," Qin Sheng said, feigning indifference.

After saying that, Qin Sheng added, "Don't worry, as long as you keep my secret, I will remove the divine restriction spell for you before I leave."

"Then you'd better break through to the Star Realm before leaving the Ice Absolute Sect. The sect leader has learned of your martial arts strength and plans to teach you the top-tier Earth-level technique, the Ice Heart Technique, after the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition."

A subtle change, unlike anything she'd seen before, flickered in Bingqing's tone. She seemed somewhat inexplicably lost.

But Qin Sheng's next words turned her worries into joy: "Venturing across the continent doesn't mean leaving the Ice Absolute Sect. My good master."

Qin Sheng emphasized the importance of a good mentor.

When the two landed on the plaza, the disciples and elders of the Ice Absolute Sect, who were preparing to head to the Hidden Dragon Ancient Land, witnessed this astonishing scene.

Bing Qing, an inner sect elder renowned as one of the three great beauties of the Ice Absolute Sect, was seen chatting and laughing with a young man. Incidentally, the other two great beauties are the sect leader of the Ice Absolute Sect himself and Bing Ling, the sect's eldest disciple.

Upon seeing this scene, the mature and beautiful elder of the Ice Absolute Sect revealed a maternal smile on her face, and then respectfully said to the sect leader of the Ice Absolute Sect, "Sect leader, that is Qin Sheng."

"Late stage of the Embracing Origin Realm, hmm, I originally thought he would only reach fifth or sixth place at most, but now it seems that he might even be able to compete for first place."

The sect leader of the Ice Absolute Sect looked Qin Sheng up and down and nodded.

"First? Sect Master, that's probably impossible, isn't it?" The one who spoke was Bingling, who was standing behind her.

It wasn't that she was jealous of talent; rather, Yan Chihuo's sword intent had already reached 60% before Qin Sheng.

Even the opposing team wouldn't dare say they could take first place.

After all, there is Sikong Sheng above him, who possesses the bloodline of a king.

Although she said she wanted to compete for first place, it was actually just out of a strong sense of competitiveness.

To be honest, there's not much hope.

Even though Qin Sheng possessed 60% of the sword intent and his skill level was no less than Yan Chihuo's and the top disciples of the seven major sects, the difference in martial arts grade was still undeniable.

She really didn't think Qin Sheng had the ability to win first place.

"Sect Master, although Qin Sheng's talent can be described as top-notch, isn't this expectation too high? After all, Sikong Sheng of Suspended Mountain is not easy to deal with."

The Grand Elder of the Ice Absolute Sect also did not believe that Qin Sheng could win first place.

But the Ice Absolute Sect Master's next words silenced the two, leaving them utterly shocked: "His Frostbite Blade Technique has reached the thirteenth level."

Then, neither of them spoke again.

As a powerful figure at the Spirit Sea Realm, the sect leader possessed incredibly sharp eyesight. Naturally, he wouldn't be mistaken.

They knew very well what the thirteenth level of the Frostbite Blade Technique meant.

This means that, in terms of cultivation level alone, Qin Sheng is already number one on this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking, and rightfully so.

In addition, there is 60% sword intent.

Even if someone cultivates a top-tier Earth-level technique to the eleventh level, it would be difficult for them to surpass him in terms of technique mastery.

A moment later, Qin Sheng and Bing Qing walked over and greeted the sect leader and the grand elder of the Ice Absolute Sect.

Then they boarded the Ice Absolute Sect's unique level eight flying beast mounts and headed towards the Hidden Dragon Ancient Land.

"Disciple. Let me introduce you. This is the eldest disciple of the Ice Absolute Sect, and also my niece, your senior sister."

Bingqing formally introduced Bingling to Qin Sheng.

Cold and elegant, pure and flawless, she was truly one of the most beautiful women in the Southern Zhuo Region. Qin Sheng subtly sized up Bing Ling, then clasped his hands and said, "Senior Sister Bing."

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I haven't even tasted the flavor of my fellow disciples yet.

"Yes, you must be my aunt's disciple, Junior Brother Qin Sheng. I look forward to sparring with you on the Hidden Dragon Ranking."

Bingling is usually very quiet and can be described as sparing with words.

But today she unusually spoke a few more words.

Although Qin Sheng's skill level surpasses hers.

However, a martial artist's strength has never been determined solely by the level of their martial arts techniques.

There is also the level of martial arts skill, the ability to adapt to changing situations, and one's own control over martial arts and artistic conception.

And the will to fight.
