Whether it's the cultivation world, other worlds, or the immortal realm, in the end, it all comes down to who has the strongest fist.

Coincidentally, Ye Feng felt that his fists were already very hard. He was invincible below the Immortal Realm, but he wouldn't go up to the Immortal Realm for now.

When he returned to the Shushan Sword Sect, all the management members were already waiting in the main hall.

They had all finished exchanging pleasantries with Shenqing Zhenjun, and after hearing what Shenqing Zhenjun said about Fairy Youlan, they were all filled with indignation.

Jian Chen said with a furious expression, "Youlan is a member of my Shushan Sword Sect. Others may fear the Wanhua Sect, but my Shushan Sword Sect is not. If you don't hand over the person, we will raze the Wanhua Sect to the ground today!"

“Uncle is right! Our Shushan Sword Sect has not performed a sword-raising ceremony for many days, which has made us look down on by outsiders.”

"Junior brother, go and tell that Peony Fairy of the Myriad Flowers Sect that if she doesn't release the person, we will definitely not let the Myriad Flowers Sect off the hook."

Ye Feng gestured with his hand, and only spoke after the sounds in the main hall had subsided: "I have a general understanding of the situation. Sister-in-law Youlan has gone to the Myriad Flowers Sect's Immortal Realm base because of the cultivation technique she practices. The sect leader of the Myriad Flowers Sect is a top-tier Golden Immortal, and there is also a Quasi-Immortal Emperor overseeing it. Although they cannot descend to the mortal realm, we certainly have no chance of winning in the Immortal Realm. As for the Myriad Flowers Sect in the mortal realm, it is incomparable to the importance of Sister-in-law Youlan."

Jian Chen hurriedly said, "Are we just going to let this go? We can't swallow this insult, even if it means we both die!"

Ye Feng hurriedly said, "Uncle-Master, don't worry. Of course we will save her, but first we should consider a more civilized approach. After all, Sister-in-law Youlan is still in their hands, so we should try to avoid taking action if possible. I have already contacted the Myriad Flowers Sect, and they will report my conditions to the Immortal Realm. We will wait for their reply before making a decision."

Shenqing Zhenjun nodded in agreement, saying, "Since Junior Brother has suggested a solution, let's wait a bit. As Junior Brother said, Youlan's safety can still be guaranteed, and taking action now is indeed not the first choice."

Jian Chen retorted angrily, "So we can't do anything? Just let ourselves be bullied and watch?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "How can we just stand by and watch? We naturally have to do something, at least show our strength and let them know that our Shu Mountain Sword Sect is not to be trifled with."

Jian Chen's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "How do you show off your muscles? Tell me properly!"

Ye Feng looked at the people in the room and said, "It takes a thousand days to raise an army for one day, and a thousand days to raise a sacred beast for one day. I have already made up for the congenital defects of those sacred beasts. Now it is the harvest season. With their blood and flesh as the catalyst, I believe it will not be difficult for all of you senior brothers and uncles to take your strength to a whole new level."

"A big step?"

Jianxin, Xing Zuo, and the others were all immediately intrigued.

They were already on the verge of advancing. If they could take a big leap forward, what level of strength would they reach?

Ye Feng chuckled but didn't speak. His goal wasn't just to be invincible in the cultivation world. According to his plan, the day he and his group ascended would probably give the immortal world a huge surprise, or perhaps... a shock?

...

...

July 15th, sunny.

The once clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds. The clouds were so thick and heavy that they blotted out the sun, making one feel terrified at first glance.

Thunderbolts flashed incessantly above the dark clouds, seemingly poised to strike with the might of heaven and earth at any moment.

Countless cultivators witnessed this shocking scene and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"What's going on? That direction should be towards the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, right?"

"Could it be that some great demon has been born there, which is why heavenly punishment has descended?"

"Heh, a great demon? It might be a great demon elsewhere, but to choose to emerge within the Shu Mountain Sword Sect's territory, it's not a great demon, it's a complete fool."

"Then what do you think this is?"

Shi Feixiang chuckled and said, "In my opinion, this should be the legendary tribulation of lightning!"

"Lightning tribulation? What is lightning tribulation?"

"I don't know!"

"I know about tribulations, aren't those only experienced when treasures are born? Could it be that a treasure is about to be born?"

"No, no."

Shi Feixiang shook his head and smiled, explaining, "The appearance of a treasure is far from being this powerful. If I'm not mistaken, this must be the power of heaven and earth brought about by the collective advancement of the group."

"Group entry?"

"What does 'group advancement' mean? Does it mean a group of people are promoted at the same time?"

"What level would a group need to reach to attract this level of divine might?"

No one answered him, but he already had the answer.

This was because, under the cover of dark clouds, dozens of giant swords of different colors rose from the ground at the same time.

Some swords were snow-white with snowflakes all around them, some were purple with lightning, and some were emerald green with a gentle breeze. Even though dozens of giant swords were the same color, there were subtle differences in their details.

The thunder seemed to have been brewing for a while, and countless bolts of lightning, each a hundred meters thick, descended from the sky, striking towards the giant sword forest.

Faced with such divine might, those giant swords remained fearless, instead unleashing their towering sword beams to directly confront the thunder!

"My goodness, this hundred-meter-long lightning bolt must have the combat power of a Nascent Soul cultivator? Are we just going to go head-to-head like this?"

"Fusion Realm? Don't you know what realms above Fusion Realm are called? This is clearly an attack from the Mahayana Realm!"

"Holy crap, are you kidding me?! Are you trying to tell me that a bunch of sword immortals from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect are currently advancing to the Great Ascension Realm? Are you kidding me?"

"Although I want to say it's impossible, I think with Ye Zhizun, anything is possible."

...

Both Qingcheng and the Peony Fairy were gazing at the majestic power of heaven and earth in the distance.

Qingcheng laughed and said, "This is a blatant show of force. It's clearly telling you that you either release Youlan or prepare to face the wrath of the Shushan Sword Sect."

Peony Fairy frowned and said, "It's all easy to talk things out if we're reasonable, but if we resort to force, my Myriad Flowers Sect isn't made of clay! Although there aren't that many Mahayana Realm cultivators in this realm, if Master sends some people down, how will they deal with it?"

Qingcheng shook her head and said, "If you really fight with the Shushan Sword Sect, then you have to be prepared to deal with it. It's not that your master is heartless, but the Immortal Realm can't afford to lose manpower. You don't think that Ye Feng is just an ordinary Mahayana Supreme Realm cultivator, do you?"

Peony Fairy immediately became anxious: "Master, you can't just stand by and watch us die, can you? You were the one who built the Myriad Flowers Sect in the cultivation world. Aren't all the senior sisters and uncles in the lower realm at the peak of this realm? Even if we can't launch a counterattack, we shouldn't have any problem protecting ourselves with the help of the great formation, right?"

"A counterattack? Self-defense? A grand formation?"

Upon hearing Peony Fairy's words, Qingcheng burst into laughter, unable to straighten up.

"That's the funniest joke I've heard all year! It's fine if you don't mention the grand formation, but once you activate it, who knows who it'll be helping!"
