Invincible!

Chapter 216 Practice
The Great Perfection Sword Intent is extremely intimidating even to Golden Core cultivators.

As Li Xian revealed his sword intent, the auction proceeded more and more smoothly.

Everyone bid honestly and participated in the auction without daring to make any mistakes.

In this situation, finally...

"Next up is the grand finale of this auction, a top-tier material containing Daoist principles, used to refine tribulation-crossing magic treasures—Nine Heavens Breath Soil."

The auctioneer's enthusiastic introduction caused another stir in the auction hall, which had been quiet for nearly two hours.

Countless people craned their necks to see the treasure that was about to be revealed on the auction stage.

A very small number of people quietly got up and left the auction house at that moment.

Clearly worried that something unexpected might happen at the upcoming auction, affecting innocent bystanders, they wanted to get out of this mess as soon as possible.

Of course, thanks to the mastery of sword intent displayed by Li Xian, only a few people left.

Even some people who originally wanted to leave early stayed, trusting that the number one true disciple of the Great Luo Immortal Sect could stabilize the situation.

At this moment, he looked expectantly at the auction stage, wanting to see clearly what kind of wonders this treasure, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, possessed.

After all, this is very likely the closest they will ever come to things like tribulation and Daoist principles in their entire lives.

"Everyone, please take a look."

The owner of the Immortal Pavilion, Shi Gui, personally came to the auction stage and took out an item contained in a transparent crystal. As he made a hand seal, the crystal unfolded, and an indescribable Daoist aura emanated from a small patch of soil at the center of the crystal.

Under this Daoist aura, the cultivators who were nearby felt their own magical power and even true essence become active.

Those cultivators of the third realm who followed them seemed to have grasped the principles of transformation and change between energy and matter, greatly enhancing their understanding of the ever-changing nature of magical power.

Song Xuanyan, Wei Lie, Guan Canghai, and others couldn't help but stand up abruptly.

"Nine Heavens Resting on the Earth!"

"Taoist materials!"

"It can be refined into a treasure for transcending tribulations!"

A longing gleamed in everyone's eyes.

Tantai Yue and Wei Lie, both of whom were at the Golden Core stage, were even more eager to make their move.

After a moment, the two glanced at Li Xian, who had returned to the balcony and was looking down at the entire scene, and considering the oppressive force of his sword intent, they decided to suppress their thoughts for the time being.

"Dacheng Sword Intent!"

Even though Wei Lie was a Dao Child and had cultivated to the Golden Core stage...

However, he has only been in the Golden Core realm for a little over thirty years, and has not yet honed his sword intent to perfection.

Faced with the suppression of Li Xianda's sword intent, he might not be able to unleash even 70% of his full strength.

With the advantage of realm, even with only 70% of his strength, suppressing Li Xian should not be difficult, but the key is that there are other competitors in the arena.

Especially Guan Canghai, who has been in the Golden Core realm for a hundred years...

While pondering, although he felt that Li Xian was not qualified to be compared with Yi Yuanshi, he still suppressed his displeasure and transmitted his voice to Li Xian: "True disciple Li, Guan Canghai is a figure in the Wuji Star Palace comparable to the Dao Child level. Moreover, he has been cultivating the Golden Core for nearly two Jiazi years. He must have honed his sword intent to the Great Perfection level. When he makes a move to seize the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, you will not be able to stop him!"

On the balcony, Li Xian glanced in his direction but did not respond.

Wei Lie was somewhat annoyed.

However, as a Golden Core cultivator, he naturally wouldn't let emotions easily sway his decisions.

He patiently explained, "The only way to ensure the successful auction of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil is for us to cooperate! Guan Canghai and I are the only two Golden Core cultivators present. You possess a fully developed sword intent, and your combat power is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator. In fact, your sword intent attacks are even more difficult to defend against. Only by joining forces can we truly suppress the entire audience..."

Just as he was having a telepathic conversation with Li Xian, Guan Canghai suddenly stood up.

His eyes gleamed with barely suppressed joy.

"It truly is the Heavenly Soil!"

With the item right in front of him, the Golden Core elder of the Wuji Star Palace wasted no more time.

He stepped forward with a bang: "Not long ago, my Wuji Star Palace lost a piece of Nine Heavens Breath Soil. I have been investigating for many years and finally confirmed that it is the one right in front of me. Today, I will bring this item back to Wuji Star Palace. Anyone who dares to stop me is an accomplice in stealing my Wuji Star Palace's Nine Heavens Breath Soil. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body shimmered with dazzling starlight.

Bathed in starlight, the person seemed to transform into a silicon-based life form, becoming taller and more magnificent than ever before.

The elder of the Wuji Star Palace suddenly appeared and rushed towards the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, causing an uproar in the crowd.

"Starlight Undying Body!"

"It is the supreme and wondrous method of the Wuji Star Palace!"

"A Golden Core cultivator who has mastered an unparalleled technique!? This... this is probably equivalent to a peak Golden Core cultivator! In the entire Ascending Immortal City, only City Lord Gu in person could suppress him!"

Exclamations quickly rose from the crowd.

Countless eyes turned toward the figure standing on the platform.

Wei Lie also seized the opportunity to say, "Li Xian, did you see that? I told you, Guan Canghai is naturally gifted and no less than the Hidden Dragon of my Great Luo Immortal Sect. After nearly three hundred years of accumulation, his strength is in no way inferior to mine. How could he be afraid of your Great Perfection Sword Intent?"

As he spoke, fearing that the Nine Heavens Breath Soil would fall into Guan Canghai's hands, he strode forward and said, "Since the Immortal Ascension City has invited my junior brother Li to oversee the scene, this item should naturally be kept safe by our Great Luo Immortal Sect. Quickly give it to me!"

"Let me speak fairly. Elder Guan has no proof whatsoever. He just claims that this item belongs to your Wuji Star Palace. The Wuji Star Palace is acting far too domineeringly."

Tantai Yue also appeared and released her aura as a seventh-level Golden Core cultivator without reservation.

The appearance of yet another Golden Core cultivator immediately changed Wei Lie's expression.

However, Elder Guan of the Wuji Star Palace acted with utmost decisiveness, rushing directly onto the auction stage without being influenced by anyone, determined to seize the Nine Heavens Breath Soil as quickly as possible.

"Buzz!" A ring of light appeared from the auction stage.

There is clearly a sixth-order formation here specifically designed to protect the items to be auctioned.

but……

"Break this mere sixth-realm formation!"

Guan Canghai's expression hardened, his golden core trembled slightly, and his powerful magic force surged into the light barrier like a torrent.

"Oh!"

As numerous valuable decorative items around the auction stage shattered simultaneously, the light curtain exploded.

"Guan Canghai!"

Seeing that the elder of the Wuji Star Palace had already made his move, Li Xian suddenly leaped down: "I have already made it clear that auctioneers must abide by the auction rules, and the highest bidder wins! If you intend to forcibly seize the auctioned item and trample on the rules, then let me see if you have the strength to do so."

"Rules? Since when did a mere disciple have the right to talk about rules?!"

With starlight flowing all over his body, Guan Canghai let out a low shout. His Undying Starlight Body caused his body to grow more than ten meters tall, like a star god or demon, carrying the momentum of ten thousand feet of starlight, and he threw out a punch.

"Get out of here!"

"Buzz!"

As Guan Canghai displayed his Starlight Undying Body, a dark golden light also emerged from Li Xian's body.

The Hunyuan Fuli True Body, which already possesses the advantages of both the Chaos Heavenly Demon Body and the Fuli True Body, manifested and met Guan Canghai's punch head-on with the force of ten thousand feet of starlight.

"Oh!"

The moment the two collided, a muffled thunderous roar seemed to echo through the auction hall, which was as large as a theater.

Immediately afterwards, countless forces and hurricanes swept violently in all directions.

Even though the emergency array inside the auction house was activated immediately in an attempt to offset and mitigate the impact, the violent shockwave still swept outwards for hundreds of meters.

Fortunately, those who were able to participate in this final auction were at least at the third or fourth level of cultivation, so they wouldn't be directly crushed by the explosion like ordinary people. Even so, the shockwave from the explosion still blew those third and fourth level cultivators off their feet.

Some people were covered in bruises and swelling from being hit by shattered tables, chairs, rubble, and decorations, looking extremely disheveled.

"Back off! Back off!"

"A battle of Golden Core cultivators! This is a battle of Golden Core cultivators! This kind of battle is absolutely not something we can easily intervene in, we can't even get close!"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

Now they finally realized how foolish it was to try and watch the excitement at the Golden Core stage up close.

The numerous cultivators at the third and fourth realms scattered in a panic.

Only a small number of cultivators at the fifth or sixth level, confident in their superior cultivation, refused to completely withdraw from the auction.

This scene filled Shi Gui with bitterness.

Small powers that rashly put up high-value items for auction are courting disaster.

He couldn't even understand why his city lord would release this treasure, which would likely offend the Wuji Star Palace, the Daluo Immortal Sect, the Yaoyang Immortal Sect, and the Dayu Immortal Dynasty.

What are you picturing?

While Li Xian and Guan Canghai were clashing, Wei Lie seized the opportunity to rush straight to Shi Gui: "Quickly, my junior brother has already helped you hold off Guan Canghai, but he may not be able to hold him off for long. Quickly hand over the Nine Heavens Breath Soil to me for safekeeping, lest something unexpected happens!"

"call out!"

Just as he reached Shi Gui, a sword aura tore through the void and swept straight towards him.

The Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi!?
Wei Lie's expression changed, and his figure, which was rushing towards him, suddenly retreated to avoid the sword energy.

He turned his head abruptly to look at Li Xian, both shocked and furious: "Li Xian, what are you doing?!"

At this moment, he was also surprised to find that Guan Canghai's attack with his Undying Starlight Body was actually blocked by Li Xian with his Floating Dawn True Body.

Even Guan Canghai, a Golden Core cultivator, was forced to retreat by Li Xian!?

what happened! ?
Guan Canghai was worried that he and the newly emerged Golden Core cultivator Tantai Yue would benefit from his attack, so he held back when he made his move!
"Everyone back to your positions, let's have a proper auction!"

Li Xian made a gesture with his hand.

A sword aura left a mark directly in front of the auction stage.

"Those who cross the line are responsible for their own lives."

"You are responsible for your own life and death!?"

Upon hearing this, everyone except Guan Canghai, who was filled with surprise and doubt, changed their expressions.

"never mind."

At this moment, Li Xian suddenly changed his mind.

He came to Dengxian City to find someone to practice his skills; helping out at Xianpinlou was just a side job.

It seems the Holy Son of the Imperial Palace has not yet arrived...

Let's use these people to stretch our muscles.

"Judging from your expressions, you seem quite resentful that I told you to honestly participate in the auction."

His gaze swept over Guan Canghai, Tantai Yue, and even included Wei Lie and the restless Song Xuanyan: "All of you, come at me together. I'll give you a beating, and you'll naturally behave."
