Even Xuanyuan Ze was taken aback, and a trace of unease flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, although drawing inscriptions was more complicated than drawing talismans, drawing a single inscription didn’t need a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, the challenge is to etch the big dipper sword inscription.\" Yang Zitao announced, but everyone was still confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big dipper sword inscription was an attack-type inscription usually etched on swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a sword was etched with it, it could unleash seven times its usual attack power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for a skilled inscription master, one week was enough to etch the Big Dipper sword inscription.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It must not be an ordinary big dipper sword inscription.’ Zhen Yuan thought, and he was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The challenge has three requirements.\" Yang Zitao said and quickly continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One, the inscription will not be etched on a sword but on a piece of ice porcelain.\" He said, and even Zhen Yuan frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice porcelain was brittle and completely unsuitable for etching a domineering rune like the Big Dipper sword inscription.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two, you cannot reinforce the ice porcelain before etching the Big Dipper sword inscription.\" Yang Zitao continued, and Xuanyuan Ze could no longer hold back his anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Yang, can we reinforce the ice porcelain after etching the inscription?\" He asked, and Yang Zitao sighed before shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You cannot.\" He said and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third requirement, the inscribed ice porcelain must withstand three uses without shattering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they heard this, Xuanyuan Ze and the knowledgeable spectators felt like they had heard something fantastical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This challenge is unwinnable.\" A female inscription master stated, and the surrounding cultivators turned to look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it really so difficult?\" Someone asked, and the female cultivator snorted before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s almost impossible to touch ice porcelain without shattering it. Do you really think such a material can be used to etch inscriptions?\" She asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are the elders going for a loss-loss outcome?\" Someone asked, and the surrounding cultivators felt like they had suddenly seen the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If senior brother Zhen loses this challenge, he and Shen Xu will only get a pardon, nine treasures, entry tokens, and honorary elder positions. However, if he wins, they will get an additional eleven treasures. How can the sect be willing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The elders may also be trying to curb their arrogance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Zhen and junior brother Shen are indeed a bit too arrogant.

However, the sect won’t tolerate them if they push their luck and become uncontrollable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is everyone acting like senior brother Zhen can’t find a way to complete the challenge?
