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

On the main road of Bingjue Peak.

"Hello, Senior Brother Qin."

Good morning, Senior Brother Qin!

A group of inner disciples, both men and women, walked towards us. Most of them were at the Nascent Soul Realm, with the highest being the late-stage peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

After nodding in acknowledgment, Qin Sheng thought to himself:
It seems that during these nearly two years of seclusion...

Because of his intervention, the fortune of the Ice Absolute Sect soared, allowing many disciples who were stuck at the late stage of the Condensation Realm to break through and enter the Embracing Yuan Realm.

Once Qin Sheng was out of sight, the people began to whisper among themselves.

"Senior Brother Qin is now a legendary genius in the Southern Zhuo Region. At the level of Embracing Yuan Realm, he comprehended the attribute sword intent ahead of time. With the cultivation of the late Embracing Yuan Realm, he broke into the Hidden Dragon Ranking and won first place. Ye Chen and Sikong Sheng, who ranked second and third, are no match for him at all."

"Hmm, not bad. I heard that when Senior Brother Qin joined the sect, he was only cultivating the most common human-level cultivation technique. Even so, he reached the Embracing Yuan Realm before he was even twenty years old. In the short span of a year, he cultivated our Ice Absolute Sect's high-level Earth-rank martial art, the Frosty Cold Blade Technique, to its highest level. It's just that Senior Brother Qin was delayed a bit earlier due to cultivation resources and cultivation techniques, otherwise he might have had a chance to surpass the Profound Empress."

"Even now, he's still not bad. Didn't you see that Senior Brother Qin's aura is already no different from those Star Realm elders? He entered the Star Realm at the age of twenty-two, which is much stronger than that Sikong Sheng from Suspended Mountain. When Sikong Sheng was twenty-two, he had only just refined half-step True Essence. I heard that more than half a year ago, he went to Tianfeng Kingdom and suffered another crushing defeat against Ye Chen, who ranked second on the previous Hidden Dragon List. He is no match for our Senior Brother Qin at all."

Even though Qin Sheng had gone far away, he could still hear the people talking.

I felt a little sympathy for that arrogant guy.

This is really something else, actively seeking out torture.

After bypassing a large number of buildings, Qin Sheng arrived at the Ice Absolute Hall inside the Ice Absolute Peak, the main peak of the Ice Absolute Sect.

After a briefing, Qin Sheng went inside.

Bingling happened to be there too.

Thanks to the pills Qin Sheng had given her, her Ice Heart Technique progressed rapidly.

Now, he has even refined his true essence and officially entered the Star Realm.

The other party was only twenty-four years old at the time.

In the Southern Domain, being able to reach the Star Realm at the age of twenty-four is already quite remarkable.

Like her, Bingling also planned to go out to gain experience, seek opportunities, and hone her skills.

The sect's higher-ups would naturally not object to this.

After all, everyone knows that flowers grown in a greenhouse can never truly thrive. But that's assuming you reach a certain level first.

Perfectly, the Star Realm is the pass to leave the Southern Zhuo Domain.

Both Bingling and Qin Sheng undoubtedly meet this condition.

Seeing that Qin Sheng had also broken through to the Star Realm, the higher-ups of the Ice Absolute Sect were naturally overjoyed.

A moment later, after obtaining the consent of the sect's higher-ups, the two walked out of the main hall.

"Long time no see." Bingling smiled slightly. The two were from the same sect, and although their relationship was not close, it was by no means distant. Moreover, Qin Sheng had given her a bottle of such precious pills before, so it was natural for them to greet each other when they met.

Qin Sheng smiled and said, "It seems your strength has improved quite a bit."

Compared to the last Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, Bingling's cultivation technique has now reached the twelfth level, making her a formidable opponent within the Star Realm.

“You are too.” Bingling said in a gentle tone.

In fact, just as Qin Sheng noticed the change in her strength, so did she.

Qin Sheng was already very strong in the previous generation, and even though she has now advanced to the Star Realm, she is not very confident.

Now that the other party has also entered the Star Realm, the gap is probably even greater than unimaginable. "Let's not talk about this anymore. What are your plans next?"

Qin Sheng asked casually.

Bingling said, "I plan to go to Martial Soul City first to buy some pills to improve my cultivation, and then go to the Blood Demon Battlefield. After that, I will go to other domains to train."

"Is it going to be this difficult right from the start?" Qin Sheng was somewhat surprised.

Bingling suddenly rolled her eyes at him, uttering a rare statement that was out of character for her, "Look at the pressure you and Ye Chen have put on the younger generation of Nanzhuo Domain. You even defeated and trampled Sikong Sheng underfoot. Naturally, we're also striving to catch up. I'm sure Yan Chihuo and Li Daoxuan feel the same way. Perhaps the three of us will leave Nanzhuo Domain together someday. After all, we don't have the strength to venture into other domains on our own like you and Ye Chen."

"Okay. Take care. I don't have anything to give you before I leave. Take this knife. If you encounter any unavoidable danger, draw it. It will kill all living beings within a ten-mile radius of your protective true essence. But you must remember, it can only be used five times. After five uses, it will dissipate."

Qin Sheng took out the treasured sword formed from the gold-devouring insects and gave it to the other party.

Although Bingling was shocked, she wasn't one to pry into other people's secrets, so after accepting the gift, she skipped the previous topic and asked, "Where's my aunt? You've made such a big deal of advancing to the Star Realm, why haven't I seen her?"

"She's in seclusion now, and she probably won't come out for two or three years."

As early as when the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition began, Qin Sheng had already taught his opponent the first level of the Chaotic Heaven Technique, as well as the first two levels of the Great Evolution Technique.

With his talent, it would take him three to five years to emerge from seclusion, and less than two years have passed since then.

"Then be careful while you're out and about." Bingling rarely showed a hint of concern.

Qin Sheng said, "You are the same. The next time we meet may be at the Enlightenment Tea Ceremony two years from now."

The two walked very close and talked to each other, which immediately attracted a lot of attention. Some were envious, some were curious, but there was no jealousy or hatred.

Although Bingling was once the senior sister of their Ice Absolute Sect, she possessed both talent and beauty, and was the perfect partner in the hearts of many martial artists.

But Qin Sheng is more outstanding.

Even if Qin Sheng and Bing Ling get really close, no one will say anything.

If you're so capable, then you too can advance to the Star Realm at 'twenty-two'. If you're so capable, then you can also comprehend the elemental sword intent ahead of time at the Embracing Origin Realm. If you're so capable, then you can also win first place in your first Hidden Dragon Ranking competition.

After leaving the Ice Absolute Sect, Qin Sheng and Bing Ling immediately set off.

Bingling went to Wucheng, while Qin Sheng went to the Blood Demon Battlefield.

After all, it was a soul-searching operation targeting a Star Realm swordsman who had comprehended the essence of swordsmanship.

It's best not to let anyone else know.

The Blood Demon Battlefield is located on a Bloodstone Island in Starfield Lake.

Once inside, Qin Sheng disguised himself during the day and hunted down unlucky swordsmen to improve his understanding of swordsmanship.

He also took the opportunity to cultivate the Great Evolution Technique.

At night, he cultivates the Chaotic Heaven Technique to improve his martial arts skills. He also uses high-grade spirit stones to refine his true essence and elevate his martial arts realm.

Six months passed in this state.

Qin Sheng's sword intent was finally perfected.

During this period, he even captured several swordsmen who had mastered the Great Perfection of Sword Art.

None of these people who were able to enter the Blood Demon Battlefield were kind-hearted.

Of course, there is an exception, such as the white-robed swordsman who is the leader of the top ten swordsmen in the Star Realm, whose sword intent has been perfected.

After searching the soul, Qin Sheng found that this guy was actually quite nice. Instead of killing him, he fed him a Soul Fusion Pill to help repair his soul damage and restore his sanity. (End of Chapter)
