On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!

"Eleven thousand Origin Stones!"

Feng Qingzong immediately raised the price by two thousand source stones, and everyone fell silent because the price was simply too high.

Lin Xuan also approved of the price. After all, the Holy Race had only accumulated a little over 10,000 source stones in 100,000 years. The fact that Feng Qing Sect could produce so many source stones at once was enough to prove the strength of Feng Qing Sect.

"As expected of the Fengqing Sect, they are so wealthy and powerful that they have acquired this Ascension Pill in such a grand manner."

"Hehe, after all, this is someone who can rival the six ancient clans."

"That's true. It's indeed a formidable force. If the Fengqing Sect had another True Immortal Realm expert, could they completely replace the Feather Clan at the first ring?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, let's wait and see."

"..."

Countless people discussed it, and they all highly recognized the strength of the Fengqing Sect.

Lin Xuan let out a slight breath, his face expressionless. He had already achieved his purpose in coming to the Xuanwu Auction, and the rest was none of his concern.

"Alright, now it's time for us to get our things and leave."

Lin Xuan stood up, and Qingfeng and Lan Zhantian immediately stood up and followed behind him.

"Fellow Daoist, these are your auction items."

A half-immortal realm expert personally came to Lin Xuan's room and threw out a storage ring.

Lin Xuan casually scanned the storage ring with his spiritual power. Inside the storage ring lay a jade box containing the Soul-Forging Grass, ten passes, and the Immortal Technique Myriad Buddhas Facing the Sky Seal—only three items in total.

"Alright, here are our Originium. Let's take stock of them."

Lin Xuan also tossed out a storage ring, and the half-immortal realm expert from Xuanwu Auction House caught the storage ring, glanced at it, and confirmed that it was genuine.

"Fellow Daoist, the Heavenly Blade Sect is no pushover, especially Mi Zhu of the Heavenly Blade Sect, who is vengeful and vindictive. You must be careful."

After giving his advice, the half-immortal expert left the ninth room of the Heavenly Realm.

Lin Xuan simply smiled faintly.

"That's alright, we'll deal with whatever comes our way, right?"

Lin Xuan looked at Zuo Qingfeng and Lan Zhantian and said with a smile.

Lan Zhantian and Qingfeng burst into laughter upon hearing this.

The three of them seemed to disregard the Heavenly Blade Sect.

The three of them walked out of the Xuanwu Auction House and flew directly towards Tianyuan City in that ring.

And just as the Xuanwu Auction House had said, the Dao Sect was indeed vengeful.

Mi Zhu, accompanied by two semi-immortal realm experts, directly intercepted Lin Xuan and his companions.

"Hmph, I told you, I won't let you off easily."

Mi Zhu stared at Lin Xuan with a sinister look in his eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent.

Lin Xuan sighed helplessly; this was truly frustrating.

"So, what do you want to do?"

Qingfeng took a step forward and looked coldly at Mi Zhu.

"What do you want to do?" Mi Zhu said with a forced smile. "You are also half-immortal realm experts. I don't need you to go too far. Right now, the three of you should apologize to our Heavenly Blade Sect and hand over the Myriad Buddhas Facing the Sky Seal. Then I will let you three leave."

Mi Zhu's words made the people who had gathered around to watch the spectacle secretly curse him for being shameless.

After the group of powerful members of the Fengqing Sect won the Ascension Pill, they were not in a hurry to return. Instead, they watched with amusement the battle between Lin Xuan and his two companions and the Heavenly Blade Sect, not worried that the treasure would be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

Of course, within the entire Second Ring Road, no sect dared to provoke the Fengqing Sect in public, unless they wanted to be removed from the list of the eighteen major powers.

"Why does that person look so familiar?"

Within the Fengqing Sect, a man looked at Qingfeng with slightly narrowed eyes, his gaze filled with doubt.

The elder at the head of the group was also taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately looked at Qingfeng with a frown.

"I also felt that the person looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't quite place him for the moment."

Several other experts within the Fengqing Sect raised the same question.

The atmosphere in the room began to become tense.

Lin Xuan almost burst out laughing when he heard Mi Zhu's words.

It seems that this young master of the Mi Zhu sect is very confident, even somewhat inflated, as he can utter such bizarre remarks.

Could it be that this guy reached the semi-immortal realm by taking drugs?
"What a fool."

Lan Zhantian crossed his arms and looked at Mi Zhu with an expression that said, "You're an idiot."

Mi Zhu was furious upon hearing this.

"What did you say?!"

"If I say you're an idiot, you're not only brainless, but you can't even hear properly. If you're not an idiot, then who is?"

Lan Zhantian appeared indifferent, completely disregarding Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu was furious. In a flash, he flew in front of Lan Zhantian and a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. The sword was shimmering with an extremely strong immortal aura. It was a genuine immortal weapon.

With the immortal weapon in hand, Mi Zhu appeared even more formidable, his long sword slashing down and drawing a crackling arc in the sky.

Lan Zhantian showed no panic in the face of such a powerful attack, and simply threw a punch at the immortal artifact with great calm.

"Boom!"

A tremendous cracking sound rang out, and the surrounding semi-immortal realm experts immediately understood and used their Origin Qi to set up a huge Origin Qi light screen to protect the Second Ring below from the impact of the battle between Lan Zhantian and the other person.

After exchanging this move, Lan Zhantian only took a few steps back, while Mi Zhu on the other side actually retreated more than ten steps before regaining his footing. After this exchange, the difference in skill was immediately apparent.

Mi Zhu looked at Lan Zhantian in disbelief, while Lan Zhantian looked down at Mi Zhu.

The people around them looked at the two with complicated expressions.

Lan Zhantian's strength was somewhat beyond everyone's imagination, while Mi Zhu's weakness was also beyond imagination.

Is it that this mysterious half-immortal is too strong, or that Mi Zhu, the young master of the Heavenly Blade Sect, is too weak?

This is a difficult problem.

Mi Zhu gripped her long sword tightly, staring intently at Lan Zhantian, her face extremely grim. She never expected to be caught off guard by Lan Zhantian, nor did she expect his combat strength to be so formidable.

"Hehe, your strength seems to be just so-so. If your strength is as you've shown so far, then I'll be very disappointed."

Lan Zhantian sneered and calmly looked at Mi Zhu.

Qingfeng and Lin Xuan stood behind Lan Zhantian without saying a word.

Qingfeng couldn't hide the smile on his face as he watched Lan Zhantian's performance.

Lan Zhantian was discovered and nurtured by Qingfeng, and now this guy has surpassed his master. How can one not be gratified?

Lin Xuan highly acknowledged Lan Zhantian's combat strength, which was indeed extraordinary. If it weren't for that incident back then, Lan Zhantian's strength would probably be even greater.

The so-called young patriarch of the ancient clan may not necessarily be able to overpower Lan Zhantian.

"How arrogant!"

Mi Zhu shouted loudly, and an extremely strong aura suddenly erupted from his body. He immediately unleashed hundreds of slashes at Lan Zhantian.

Faced with Mi Zhu's wild, slashing sword, Lan Zhantian simply made a few simple hand gestures, and a blue light screen appeared in front of him.

"Bang bang bang~~" Hundreds of sword lights struck the light screen, and a series of violent bombardments rang out. After hundreds of bombardments, Lan Zhantian's blue light screen had reached its limit.

“Boom~Crack!”

Mi Zhu entered with his sword, suddenly cleaving the light barrier in two, and then using the force of the light barrier to slash straight at Lan Zhantian's head. This action was completed in one smooth motion, without any hesitation, and even cultivators at the third level of the Myriad Manifestations Realm could not catch Mi Zhu's attack.

"boom!"

The longsword was powerful, but Lan Zhantian's speed was even better. He teleported dozens of miles away, causing the slash to miss its mark.

"Damn it!"

Mi Zhu suddenly turned around, and there stood Lan Zhantian, dozens of miles behind him.

"They say it's a give-and-take situation, now it's my turn!"

Lan Zhantian gave a soft shout, and a halberd of Origin Qi materialized in his hand.

Before Mi Zhu could fully react, Lan Zhantian had already arrived directly in front of him, his blue halberd thrusting straight at him, causing the surrounding Origin Qi to boil.

"Keng!"

As the young master of the Heavenly Blade Sect, Mi Zhu was quite capable. He reacted immediately, holding his longsword horizontally in front of him, which blocked Lan Zhantian's halberd.

"Tianwei!"

Lan Zhantian went all out. As soon as he uttered the words "Heavenly Might," a power belonging to the Heavenly Dao suddenly burst forth from the halberd. Under the blessing of this power, Mi Zhu immediately found himself unable to withstand it.

"Break it for me!"

Lan Zhantian roared, and his halberd was unstoppable, sending Mi Zhu flying.

"Heavenly Slash!"

Lan Zhantian suddenly raised his halberd and brought it down towards Mi Zhu, as if the surrounding space was about to be cleaved apart by the blue halberd.

Mi Zhu was startled by the violent power that was coming towards him. He didn't care about anything else and immediately activated his Dharma Form.

After the Dharma Form was activated, a powerful amplification was instantly applied to Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu's power was greatly enhanced.

Lan Zhantian's Heavenly Slash was also forcibly swallowed by Mi Zhu.

"Ho ho ho~"

A series of fierce roars rang out, and the enormous creature standing behind Mi Zhu was none other than a strange beast, the Silver-haired Roar.

This strange beast was extremely ferocious when it was alive, and it remained difficult to tame even after it died.

Mi Zhu was able to obtain such a strange beast only because of his father's influence.

Silver-haired Roar roared provocatively at Lan Zhantian, but Lan Zhantian seemed indifferent to everything that was happening, as if nothing was worth paying attention to.

"To provoke the Heavenly Blade Sect is a foolish decision!"

A smug smile suddenly appeared on Mi Zhu's face.

The other members of the Heavenly Blade Sect were all like this, exuding a noble aura.

"It's just a beast, so bring it on."

Lan Zhantian simply beckoned to Mi Zhu, completely disregarding Mi Zhu and his beastly form, the Silver-haired Roar.

"court death!"

Mi Zhu could not tolerate such provocation. He stepped on the Silver-haired Roar, and a silver energy ball condensed in the mouth of the Silver-haired Roar.

"boom!"

A powerful force suddenly shot out from the silvery-white energy ball, heading straight towards Lan Zhantian.

Lan Zhantian immediately tried to counterattack, but this time he had clearly underestimated the silver-haired roar.

Lan Zhantian was directly injured.

"it is good!"

"Young Sect Master is mighty!"

"Young Master has the potential to become a true immortal!"

"Young Master, you have brought glory to our Heavenly Blade Sect!"

Within the Heavenly Blade Sect's camp, fierce roars echoed through the sky.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Blade Sect members, although their young sect leader only had a slight advantage, his terrifying power was enough to demonstrate his strength.

Lan Zhantian sneered as he listened to the roars, for he hadn't even manifested his Dharma form yet.

Even with his full power, Mi Zhu, who had just attained the Dharma form, could only suppress himself. What kind of might is that?
"What a boring battle."

As the members of the Fengqing Sect watched this scene, the leading elder yawned listlessly.

The other half-immortal realm experts also found it boring.

This battle was not evenly matched; Lan Zhantian was never serious from beginning to end, and he didn't even bother to activate his Dharma Form.

On the other hand, Mi Zhu not only used violent attacks but also employed his Dharma form, yet he still couldn't do anything to Lan Zhantian.

"This person doesn't seem to be from China; he's most likely from somewhere else."

"Didn't they say that people from the Northern Continent and the Western Continent have already arrived in Shenzhou? These people are very likely cultivators from other continents."

"Huh? Wasn't it said that the immortal paths to other continents had been severed? How come there are still half-immortal realm experts appearing on other continents?"

"Hehe, in times of great strife, perhaps such miraculous things will happen."

"This guy is really something, he actually managed to make Mi Zhu helpless against him."

"..."

"Aren't you going to unleash your Dharma form?!" Mi Zhu stared intently at Lan Zhantian, feeling utterly humiliated.

When fighting against oneself, and even when one has already manifested their own Dharma Form, the opponent is unwilling to manifest it, which is indeed a situation that leaves one helpless.

Lan Zhantian chuckled, his attitude completely indifferent.

"Hehe, the main thing is that I really don't need to use this Dharma Form to beat you. It would be a waste to use the Dharma Form on you."

Lan Zhantian's words were full of sarcasm, which made Mi Zhu even angrier.

This is blatantly admitting that you're too weak and easy to bully, isn't it?!

The long sword in Mi Zhu's hand absorbed a large amount of power, which then burst out towards Lan Zhantian.

Lan Zhantian was not afraid of Mi Zhu's ultimate move at all. He immediately made a few hand gestures, and a sharp blue source energy enveloped Lan Zhantian.

"Battle Laws, activate them!"

Lan Zhantian directly activated the power of the laws, and a celestial artifact suddenly appeared in his hand.

Lan Zhantian's immortal weapon is a giant halberd, which is one of the treasures of the sect and one of the most valuable items in Bai Xiaosheng's collection.

Lan Zhantian took out his giant halberd, and his combat power instantly increased significantly.

The surging fighting power and momentum pressed frantically towards Mi Zhu's side.

Mi Zhu, sensing the combat energy emanating from Lan Zhantian, couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The difference in skill was immediately apparent; Mi Zhu knew he was no match for him. (End of Chapter)
