Transcending Limits - 83 Mystic Ice Profound Arts
The news that a new core disciple appeared sent waves after waves of shock in the sect. Becoming a Core disciple is extremely difficult. They are the sect’s pillars. Any of the core disciples can rest assured on their future achievements and status.
To Sheng Tian, the biggest benefit of becoming a core disciple is getting a better place to practice.
The residence is surrounded by natural mountains, small ponds and gardens spread out in the vast land.
It is like living in a hillside home in the embrace of nature, however, this is a world where there is no industrialization. So, it is a common thing people lived in such terrains.
The best part? He is neighbours with the Ice goddess!
The Sect itself spans across a vast area, so the core disciple residence has no problem having a large place for itself.
This is unlike the Inner disciple residence where there are little to no natural facilities.
Arriving at a place void of humans and beast, he brandished his sword and ran onto a huge snow mountain.
He would start moving at high speeds before vanishing into thin air and then appearing elsewhere.
This continued for a long time before he started using various other profound arts in the air.
Dark Sword Arts, Destructive Fist, Dragon Roar.
Only after a long while did he stop. He was becoming more and more proficient in using the Profound Arts he had.
But it’s not always good to show your full strength to the enemies, so he had to find alternatives.
He remembered the instructions of the Old Man— learn the profound arts of the Mystic Ice Sect.
He returned to his courtyard and sat down crosslegged under an ancient tree.
*Whoosh*
With a flash of light, four books flew out of his storage ring and landed in front of him.
They are the Profound Arts and Cultivation Technique given by the Old Man.
The first book was’Haven of Mystic Ice’-a defensive profound art.
Using ice profound energy, one can form a shield to block all kinds of attacks. The five stage and skills are Snow Canopy, Ice Wall, Armour of Ice, Bulwark of Cold Moon, the blessings of Ice Phoenix.
With each level harder than the previous. This is a splendid profound art.
The next book was titled Mystic Frozen Arts. The stages and skills are Slash of Rime, Frost of Zephyr, Butterfly of Winter, Breath of Ice Phoenix.
This is a purely an offence profound art. Each skill when used is deadlier and destructive than the previous.
The title of the final profound art book faded in and out of existence. It was called Illusory Snow dance.
It is a movement technique with great agility.
Taking a deep breath, he memorised and started comprehending all of them. Though they are of a very high quality, Sheng Tian managed to comprehend the essence in less than an hour.
As he circulated the Ice profound energy in his profound veins, his gaze turned frosty and the air around him chilled!
“Snow Canopy” he muttered. Instantly, a large canopy made of glistening canopy covered him.
“Destruction Fist” Sheng Tian’s fist shone with a fierce glint as he smashed at his own shield.
Crack. Crack.
Without any resistance, the Snow Canopy broke down.
“That’s trashy. How about Ice Wall?”
Crack. Crack.
“Damn it. Armour of Ice.”
Crack.
“Ooh not the worst.” he sighed looking at the cracks on the armour covering his entire body.
For now, he couldn’t use the Bulwark of Cold Moon and Blessings of the Ice Phoenix.
However, he could try others.
With a flash, Scarlet of Blood appeared in his right hand.
“Butterfly of Winter.” he muttered as a tremendous amount of Ice Profound Energy was poured out of his body.
At that moment, Scarlet of Blood shone with an Icy Blue light.
“Haa” he slashed it at a small hill nearby.
The profound energy turned into an Ice blue butterfly with blinding radiance and shot at the small hill.
Boom!
The hill shook and blasted to countless pieces. Each of these rocks were frozen! This is an insane profound skill with great power!
Finally, taking a deep breath, he circulated the Illusory Snow dance.
In a flash, multiple after images of Sheng Tian appeared. But they were illusory and not like a real one.
Sheng Tian disappeared from his position and appeared 100’s of meters away and each of his Illusory figures appeared at a different place.
The more he practiced, the more real the Illusory figures seemed.
Mystic Ice Formula! It is not a profound art or profound skill, but a cultivation technique.
A cultivator uses Cultivation technique in Cultivating his realm while profound arts are using that realm’s power in an effective manner.
Sheng Tian carefully studied the Mystic Ice Formula. It had nine layers.
After reading it thoroughly, he shook his head and didn’t cultivate in it. The Heavenly Sword Arts is much more profound and mysterious than Mystic Ice Formula.
Night fall and soon, it was the day of selection for the Frozen Hell.
The shimmering rays of sun were the last to wake up today as every single disciple of the Sect arrived at the Sect Grounds before dawn.
Looking at the thousands of disciples, Sheng Tian shook his head.
Currently, there was a huge mat on which the thousands of disciples were seated. The outer disciples were seated at the last, the inner disciples in the front. The core disciples sat beside the stage on luxurious chairs.
Several Elders stood on the sidelines and maintained order.
“Fuck. When is that Old Man coming?” Sheng Tian muttered and facepalmed.
“You shouldn’t be talking.” a beautiful cold voice sounded by his ear.
Turning to his left, he saw Leng Yue Yan’s stunning face was still veiled, but soul stirring eyes were looking at him.
“Haha” he lightly chuckled in embarrassment. Then, he moved closer and whispered in her ear “But I don’t like silence. And you are also talking.”
“Why is your ear so red?” Sheng Tian raised an eyebrow at Leng Yue Yan whose ears and neck instantly became beet red.
“Hiss.”
“Hiss.”
Gasps of extreme shock were heard in the crowd as all the male disciples felt a stabbing pain in their hearts and unknowingly, tears rolled down their eyes.
Though the core disciples were seated separately, their actions were visible to the huge crowd. When they saw the new core disciple “Sheng Tian” whispering something to the Ice Goddess and her blushing, their minds went blank!
“Ice Goddess!” one of the passionate youth couldn’t control himself and yelled his lungs out.
“Please don’t fall for anyone!”
“You are the only one who shouldn’t be touched.”
Wails, shrieks,yells were all that filled the air as the silence Elders worked so hard collapsed utterly in the span of a moment.
Leng Yue Yan turned to Sheng Tian and glared at him in anger.
Though she didn’t know why she talked to him, she couldn’t accept him coming so close and whispering to her like that, could she?
Sheng Tian just shrugged off the increasingly Lethal cold energy coming from her and smiled “Wow. You have so many fans. I want some passionate fans as well.” saying so, he smiled at the female disciples in the crowd.
“Whhaaa.”
“Haa…ndsome!”
“You are the best!”
“Husband~”
“Sweet heart.”
The words of the female disciples completely overshadowed the reaction of the Male disciples shocking everyone.
Many of the female disciples of the Sect known for their Cold nature now had icy stars in their eyes as they gazed at Sheng Tian like love struck fools. .
Some of them even drooled.
Some passed out in happiness.
More sensitive ones wetted the ground, ahem.
“What the?!” Xu Tian and Shi Yan exclaimed as their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Even they, the Senior core disciples could never dream to get such reaction. Yet how did this fellow, who barely arrived at the sect did it?
Just why is he so handsome?
Meanwhile, Qi Yue looked dazed before she quickly turned to the side and snorted “Humph! I will make you my slave and play with your body all I want! Be grateful!” she said in a small voice.
“The fuck is wrong with this world.” Sheng Tian’s hair stood up as he realised that some of the passionate gazes were from the male disciples of the sect.
Leng Yue Yan looked at the chaotic scene as her eyes widened. Turning to look at Sheng Tian, she shook her head, not wanting to meddle in his mess anymore.
“Enough!” a majestic voice sounded as an Old Man in shiny Ice Blue robes landed on the stage followed by the Sect Master and Senior Elders.
“Disciple greets Seniors.” every single person stood up and bowed to them, including core disciples.
And when Sheng Tian bent, he secretly cursed “Shameless Old Man. how dare you impose like a gentle man by wearing those cool clothes?! Wait till I rip you off your storage ring!”
The Old Pervert on the stage suddenly had an ominous feeling and turned to look at the core disciples, Sheng Tian to be exact.
He was greeted by a humble and obedient smile from Sheng Tian which instantly made him conclude ‘No doubt. It is this little bastard! He is definitely plotting something!’
Then, he turned to the Silent crowd and started speaking “Disciples of my Mystic Ice Sect, there are only 500 slots for the Frozen Hell. If you want to win, you need strength and luck. If any of this is high enough, you will be eligible.”
“Now, let’s start.” his voice travelled to every corner, loud and clear; filled with dense profound energy.
