Faced with such an overwhelming attack, Shenqing Zhenjun did not move.
The words Ye Feng had said kept replaying in his mind.
"The strongest is also the weakest; break one point and you break everything; if there is no flaw, then there is a flaw everywhere."
Therefore, Shenqing Zhenjun chose to confront them head-on.
Aiming at the point of greatest explosive power, he drew back his longsword and thrust it out with an unremarkable strike.
There are no techniques involved.
It's the "flat thrust" that we practice most often in daily sword training.
But when he thrust out this sword, Shenqing Zhenjun felt that the world had become a chaotic mess, devoid of any other colors.
Amidst this chaos, his natal flying sword, "Yu Sheng," shone brightly.
At the tip of the sword, first a cold glint appeared, followed by a line of light.
In the end, he cleaved the heavens with a single sword!
"Click".
It's like the axe blow from the great god Pangu when he first created the world.
A flash of sword light, like the first ray of sunlight piercing through the darkness.
Then came the dazzling glory!
In that instant, it wasn't just Wang Li's protective aura that was shattered.
Furthermore, there's the bottleneck for Shenqing Zhenjun!
Advancement to the Mahayana realm.
The fourth person in the history of the Shushan Sword Sect to reach the Great Ascension Realm.
The second Mahayana realm still exists!
After the sword pierced through Wang Li's self-destructing aura, its momentum did not slow down in the slightest.
Wang Li stood there stunned, forgetting to dodge.
Or rather, there's nowhere to hide!
"puff!"
With a soft sound, Wang Li's chest was pierced straight through!
"This sword strike was an attempt by you to severely injure my junior brother without even asking what happened. Do you admit it or not?"
"Cough cough..."
Wang Li coughed twice, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"I admit it..."
“Your son insulted us, and even insulted my junior brother’s parents. Shouldn’t he be punished?”
Circumstances dictate the course of events; what else can Wang Li say?
After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "...It's deserved."
Shenqing Zhenjun remained indifferent and spoke again: "Fifty million high-grade spirit stones, and we'll pretend this never happened. Is that acceptable?"
Wang Li ultimately did not say no.
Although he had the Sky-Stealing Doll, he couldn't possibly die here, but the value of the Sky-Stealing Doll was far more than fifty million high-grade spirit stones!
Finally, he took out a Sumeru bag from his bosom and tossed it to Shenqing Zhenjun before gradually retreating.
After the sword tip detached from his body, Wang Li took a deep look at Shenqing Zhenjun.
Without saying a word, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished.
The onlookers were completely dumbfounded.
"Mommy, what did I just see?"
"A Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivator broke through the self-destructing protective aura of a Mahayana Realm cultivator?"
"Damn, I feel like my back is soaked with cold sweat, this is just too incomprehensible!"
"Damn it! I've been cultivating for thousands of years and I've never seen anyone who could withstand a self-destructing protective aura with just skill. This move blinded my 24K pure diamond eyes!"
"Holy crap! Didn't you feel it?! This is the aura of advancement!"
"What?! Just one big battle, and he directly broke through the tribulation and advanced to the Mahayana realm?!"
The audience was so shocked by Shenqing Zhenjun's two moves that they were completely overwhelmed!
You defeated a Mahayana cultivator while still in the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and now you've directly become a Mahayana cultivator!
Are you going to break through the void and ascend directly to the immortal realm in a little while?
...
Shenqing Zhenjun's lips curled up, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
The Nine Swords of Dugu are unparalleled in the world!
Shenqing Zhenjun had not expected that this sword strike would be so powerful.
He never expected that he would break through to the Mahayana realm just because of this one sword strike.
With his current combat strength, even without his junior brother's culinary disasters, dealing with a mere demon would be a piece of cake.
It can be said that he has already reached the Mahayana stage, which is a foregone conclusion.
He tossed the Sumeru bag in his hand again and couldn't help but laugh even more happily.
With this additional 50 million, this procurement trip was essentially a complete success.
While it's impossible to equip every disciple with a magic weapon, at least some disciples with high contribution points can be armed.
With a single step, Shenqing Zhenjun was back beside Ye Feng and the other two.
Ye Feng and Meng Keyi said with beaming smiles, "Congratulations, Senior Brother, on making another great step forward."
Jian Chen looked at him with surprise and delight, his expression filled with satisfaction.
Shenqing Zhenjun smiled and said, "The way of the sword has no end. I am just taking the first step. I believe that my junior uncle and junior brother will also make such progress in a few days."
This wasn't just a polite remark.
Rather, he genuinely believed that as long as he mastered the Dugu Nine Swords, breaking through to the Mahayana realm would be a certainty.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Feng again.
I, a practitioner, have already reached the Mahayana realm. As a preacher, what level has this junior brother reached?
...
Having witnessed the birth of a Mahayana Realm expert, the onlookers naturally offered their congratulations.
"Congratulations to Sect Master Shenqing on reaching the Mahayana Realm. Ascending to heaven in the future is a certainty."
"Congratulations, Sect Master. You will surely be able to cleave through the void with your sword in the future."
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations, Sect Master."
Almost everyone sent their blessings.
After all, it's just a matter of saying a few words; it won't cost you anything.
Although they have different traditions, there is no conflict of interest between them. It's better to sell to others and leave a good impression than to lose out.
After this little incident, the group of four lost interest in attending the auction.
Shenqing Zhenjun was in a hurry to go back and consolidate his Dao fruit.
Meng Keyi and Jian Chen were getting anxious.
Seeing that his junior brothers and nephews had already taken the lead, it would be impossible not to feel anxious.
Ye Feng didn't care. He hadn't found anything he needed after looking around, so he might as well go back. He also had an idea about the Mountain Cottage, so he would go back and see if he could put it into practice.
So the four of them swept up a large number of defensive magic treasures in the treasure pavilion, squandered all their spirit stones, and then returned directly to their sect.
Just as the four of them reached the mountain gate, Jian Qingfeng's towering sword shadow suddenly trembled.
Then, a huge sword shadow slashed towards Shenqing Zhenjun.
Shenqing Zhenjun knew that his ancestor had sensed something, and he had no intention of hiding it.
A blue sword shadow, seemingly capable of piercing the heavens and earth, rose up behind him.
The sword shadow was incredibly solid, and although it was slightly smaller than Jian Qingfeng's, it wasn't much different.
Similarly, a sword shadow shot out from the blue greatsword and collided directly with Jian Qingfeng's sword shadow.
"Click".
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a sound like glass shattering.
The sky where the two sword shadows met seemed to crack open.
Void Rift!
The next step is to shatter the void!
Although this step is extremely difficult, an attack that can reach the level of a void rift is already far beyond the average Mahayana realm.
The diners still above the mountaintop pavilion also felt the two fluctuations.
He could also sense the sword intent of Shenqing Zhenjun.
