The Heaven Crushing Techniques actually placed a lot of emphasis on understanding and aptitude.
The aptitude referred to here was not aptitude in cultivation. Instead, it was aptitude in observing the Dao of the Heavens. The two were not the same.
Those who understood would be able to grasp the basics very easily, and the more they studied, the more profound they would become.
Those who didn't understand would be able to achieve very little no matter how hard they tried.
Take Xue Zhantian for example. Even though he hadn't joined the Heaven Crushing Sect, the Ancient Dragon Empress was very optimistic about him and had taught him the Heaven Crushing Techniques under the condition that the mystic techniques were kept a secret. Now, he was the most proficient Heaven Crushing Techniques cultivator below the Dao Integration Stage.
This was the aptitude of the Heaven Crushing Techniques.
Aptitude was far more important than perseverance in studying.
She could only teach them how to fuse heaven crushing true intent into their own power. Even though they could improve through practice, aptitude determined everything!
Ten days of study was enough to determine which of these people would be able to progress further and further in the Heaven Crushing Sect and become the pillars of the sect.
"Next, use your Heaven Crushing Techniques to attack me with all your might, and I'll use my Heaven Crushing Techniques to defend myself." The Ancient Dragon Empress stood on the drill ground with a confident expression on her face.
After attaining heaven crushing true intent, one would be able to fuse their own power to create Heaven Crushing Techniques.
This was the allure of the Heaven Crushing Sect.
It was easy to get started, but if one wanted to progress further, they had to rely on aptitude!
"Who's going first?" the Ancient Dragon Empress asked with a smile.
Everyone looked at one another.
A black-robed man with a cold expression stepped forward. "I'll go first!"
The first to step forward was Yao Mingxi from the Spirit Sword State. He was once An Lin's diehard fan, but now, he was a Return to Void Stage sword immortal!
"Please." The Ancient Dragon Empress waved a sleeve through the air before extending a slender hand toward the man.
"Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, I'm going first."
Yao Mingxi drew his longsword, and it flew through the air like a dragon!
The sword projection transformed into an azure dragon that roared toward the Ancient Dragon Empress with earth-shattering might. It was imbued with a sense of pride and arrogance, as if its life was in its own hands!
The Ancient Dragon Empress' colorful dragon robe fluttered violently in the face of the sword intent. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her pure golden eyes seemed to have pierced through the darkness, as well as the power to split heaven and earth apart!
"Break for me." She spat out the True Dragon's decree. The sound waves transformed into substance and instantly spread out.
Yao Mingxi's green dragon was instantly shattered by the sound waves.
At the same time, his chest felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and his body flew backward like a cannonball.
"Pfft …" He spat out a mouthful of blood and tumbled to the ground in an extremely sorry state.
The Ancient Dragon Empress shook her head. "His aptitude is mediocre. Even 'My Destiny Is My Own' is so powerless … "
When she said that his aptitude was mediocre, she meant that he was no different from the average Return to Void Stage cultivator.
Yao Mingxi crawled up from the ground and was a little disappointed to hear this, but he quickly composed himself and extended a respectful salute. "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress."
The Ancient Dragon Empress nodded with a smile. For some reason, she was feeling quite elated.
These kids had been messing around with her for the past few days …
She was going to get back at them today!
Raphaella offered a comforting smile. "You don't have to feel too much pressure. After all, only one out of ten Return to Void Stage mighty figures who cultivate the Heaven Crushing Techniques are quite outstanding. Even if you're only mediocre, you'll still be able to deal with the Heavenly Human Tribe more easily after cultivating the Heaven Crushing Techniques. It's a win-win situation! "
The Archangel's warm smile coupled with her gentle and considerate words instantly alleviated Yao Mingxi's sense of disappointment. Even the people behind him were feeling a lot less tense.
An Lin was even more impressed by this six-winged angel upon seeing this. Wouldn't it be great if she could handle the diplomatic affairs of the Four Nine Immortal Sect?
"Who's next?" the Ancient Dragon Empress asked with a smile.
"Let me, let me, let me!" Liu Qianhuan waved her wand with an eager expression. She wore a sailor outfit that revealed her long, sexy legs.
"Bring it on." The Ancient Dragon Empress prepared herself.
The pink wand in Liu Qianhuan's hand rotated at high speed as a terrifying power converged.
This power was imbued with the power of termination, and if unleashed to the extreme, it would be able to bring the entire heaven and earth to an end!
The Ancient Dragon Empress' eyes lit up. "Oh? That's pretty good heaven crushing true intent. It's very unique …
"Eat this, Heaven Crushing Final Spark!"
The young sorceress roared as a pillar of light imbued with the power of termination erupted from her wand!
Boom!
A white energy wave tore through the earth before crashing directly toward the Ancient Dragon Empress' face.
"Shatter." The Ancient Dragon Empress stood on the spot as she unleashed her mantra again. Her soundwaves transformed into substantial sound waves that crashed toward the energy wave!
The Ancient Dragon Empress' power was just about to shatter the light wave. However, Liu Qianhuan seemed to have thrown all caution to the wind, and she tossed her wand into the air before stomping her foot again. "Sorceress mode activate, Heaven Crushing Final Spark!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Over a hundred golden holes suddenly appeared in the air, all of which were quickly accumulating energy. The energy within each hole was comparable to the power of her Heaven Crushing Final Spark.
Boom boom boom!
Over a hundred Heaven Crushing Final Sparks crashed toward the Ancient Dragon Empress at once!
The Ancient Dragon Empress' expression finally became grave upon seeing this.
"Heaven Crushing Armor." The Ancient Dragon Empress took a deep breath as an indestructible armor materialized around her body.
If she was going to crush the heavens, then she had to protect herself first. A semi-transparent golden dress draped over the Ancient Dragon Empress' body. This was her armor to crush the heavens!
Relentless explosions rocked the earth.
The Ancient Dragon Empress was blasted over a hundred times, and Liu Qianhuan didn't even have a chance to see how the Ancient Dragon Empress was faring before she heard a familiar voice.
"Heaven Crushing Wrath Palm!"
A palm strike suddenly tore through the energy explosions before crashing into Liu Qianhuan's body and sending her flying before tumbling to the ground with injuries.
Liu Qianhuan had been defeated.
A hint of surprise appeared on the Ancient Dragon Empress' face. "Your aptitude is exceptional. You were able to fuse the dao of termination into your heaven crushing technique and end the heavens with your own dao. If you cultivate diligently, you'll definitely be able to make new breakthroughs. "
"Thank you, Teacher." Liu Qianhuan extended a curtsey with a wide grin in the face of the praise, as if she had only done something insignificant.
The Ancient Dragon Empress' lips twitched. She was the fourth heavenly disciple! Couldn't she at least pretend to be ecstatic when she gave her such a high evaluation?
No one took the Ancient Dragon Empress' evaluation to heart.
Only Raphaella was extremely surprised. Even if they didn't unleash their cultivation bases or divine dao, it would still be quite an impressive feat to be able to force the Ancient Dragon Empress to unleash a Heaven Crushing Technique.
As expected, the Four Nine Immortal Sect really was filled with prodigies.
"Dabai, you go!" An Lin instructed.
"Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, I'm coming! Woof! " Dabai pounced toward the Ancient Dragon Empress excitedly with his tongue hanging out of his mouth. His eyes were still fixated on her voluptuous breasts and her tall, slender figure.
A disdainful expression appeared on the Ancient Dragon Empress' face. "F * ck off!"
Dabai was knocked flying by the terrifying soundwaves …
He also received an average aptitude rating.
Raphaella heaved a sigh of relief. It looked like there were only a few freakishly talented prodigies.
Right at this moment, Sect Leader An Lin was a little displeased.
The Ancient Dragon Empress had been teaching them for ten days, but they kept losing … Not only was this a disgrace to the sect, but it was also a disgrace to their teacher …
The Ancient Dragon Empress seemed to have seen everyone's concerned expressions, and she offered words of encouragement, "If you're scared, you can team up and fight together. I can still assess your cultivation level."
An Lin paused momentarily before suggesting, "How about Merlin, Cassidy, you two come at me together? You've been Holy Disciples for so long, so you should have some synergy with each other."
Merlin and Cassidy readily accepted this arrangement.
An Lin didn't want to embarrass himself too much, so he offered another word of encouragement, "If you defeat Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, you'll each be rewarded with three milliliters of holy blood!"
Boom! Boom!
Heaven crushing power erupted into the heavens!
