In an instant.

Chen Qingfeng's head was surrounded by mystical light, continuously gathering.

In just a short moment, he directly ascended from the Qi Condensation Third Level Realm to the Qi Condensation Tenth Level.

The ‘Realm’ wheel was still increasing.

The dazzling light was still gathering.

When the ‘Realm’ wheel above Chen Qingfeng's head, with nine rings, converged into a complete circle, a second ‘Realm’ wheel immediately appeared.

“Foundation Establishment…”

“He reached Foundation Establishment!”

“His Cultivation, is it actually above Foundation Establishment?”

Stunned!

When everyone present saw this scene, they were all completely stunned.

Especially Su Meier, Yin Rushuang, and Tong Shuyao, all three had expressions of intense shock and disbelief, completely unexpected that Chen Qingfeng, who was originally only at the mere Qi Condensation Third Level, had hidden his strength so deeply.

“His ‘Realm’ wheel is still increasing!”

“Even after Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, it hasn't stopped!”

One ring!

Foundation Establishment First Level!

Two rings!

Foundation Establishment Second Level!

Three rings!

Foundation Establishment Third Level!

Four rings!

Foundation Establishment Fourth Level!

The further it went, the quieter the entire scene became!

Until…

When the second ‘Realm’ wheel above Chen Qingfeng's head formed a full ten rings, creating a complete closed loop, within the vast auction hall, besides countless gasps of cold air, no other sound could be heard.

“Hiss—”

“Foundation Establishment Peak!!!”

“This kid, is he actually at the Foundation Establishment Peak Realm??? ”

Boom!!!

Exploded!

The entire scene completely erupted.

Even Prodigies like Lu Shaojie, Qi Chunshan, Zhu Zi, Su Meier, Yin Rushuang, and Tong Shuyao, who were among the top one hundred on the Heaven's Pride Ranking, had their expressions completely changed at this moment, with waves of shock rising in their hearts.

“He's at Foundation Establishment Peak?”

“This… how is that possible?”

“Among the entire Tianyi Sect, those who possess such a Realm are almost all on the Heaven's Pride Ranking, why have I never heard of him in the Sect before?”

“What is his name?”

“What is his background?”

“Moreover, he seems to be a Sword Cultivator…”

“Being a Sword Cultivator is one thing, but he also possesses so many Spirit Stones…”

Lu Shaojie's lips continuously let out murmurs of shock.

If one were to say.

Before, in front of Chen Qingfeng, he still had endless arrogance and a sense of superiority.

Then now.

As Chen Qingfeng's Foundation Establishment Peak Realm was exposed, the last shred of arrogance in his heart was mercilessly shattered by Chen Qingfeng.

[Ding—]

[Su Meier's Affection +10, you have received 10% of Su Meier's deceased husband's Cultivation returned!]

[Ding—]

[Yin Rushuang's Affection +10, you have received 10% of Yin Rushuang's deceased husband's Cultivation returned!]

[Ding—]

[Tong Shuyao's Affection +20, you have received 20% of Tong Shuyao's deceased husband's Cultivation returned!]

[Dustless Sword Art has automatically Cultivated to the fifth level!]

[Heavenly Book of Alchemy has automatically Cultivated to the fifth level!]

[Great Luo Formation has automatically Cultivated to the fifth level!]

[Divine Smithing Art has automatically Cultivated to the fifth level!]

[Congratulations on successfully entering the Core Formation Realm, you have received a gift package: Law, Heaven, Image, Earth!]

Several system prompts sounded at once.

Within Chen Qingfeng's body, three vast streams of True Essence were instantly injected again.

The True Essence converged into his Dantian, forming swirling vortexes, and in the blink of an eye, as it circulated through his body, it directly began to condense, forming a thumb-sized Core!

Core Formation?

He just reached Core Formation?

The Core Formation Realm that Su Meier had spent a full ten years trying to Breakthrough, he actually reached it in an instant?

Indeed.

This is the difference!

“Why did it suddenly get quiet?”

“Didn't you just say I had no brains?”

With the Foundation Establishment Peak ‘Realm’ wheel above his head, Chen Qingfeng looked at Lu Shaojie in the distance and couldn't help but ask leisurely.

Lu Shaojie.

He had two ‘Realm’ wheels above his head, but his second ‘Realm’ wheel only had six rings, indicating that he was merely at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Realm.

As for Qi Chunshan and Zhu Zi.

The ‘Realm’ wheels above their heads had eight and nine rings respectively.

This indicated that their Realms were at Foundation Establishment Eighth Level and Foundation Establishment Ninth Level respectively!

Just one step away from entering the Foundation Establishment Peak Realm.

If they were to truly fight.

Three against one.

Against an ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivator, it seemed they really had a chance to fight!

“You hid too deeply…”

“A Foundation Establishment Peak Realm, yet you paraded around with a Qi Condensation Third Level Cultivator's ‘Realm’ wheel, truly… his grandmother's beast.”

Full of anger, it turned into a gritted-teeth curse, which was the complete sentiment of Lu Shaojie and the others.

It was bad enough that he was rich.

He actually suppressed his Cultivation.

Suppressed it by an entire major Realm.

Is this even human?

If he's human, I'll eat him!

And more importantly, why could he change his ‘Realm’ wheel? Suppress it when he wanted, raise it when he wanted? Why couldn't they do that?

What secret art did he use?

“Beast?”

Heh heh.

Still dare to be a troll?

Hearing these two words, Chen Qingfeng suddenly smiled and, with lightning speed, appeared in front of Lu Shaojie.

“Slap—”

A hurricane rose.

A clear, crisp sound instantly rang out.

Before anyone around could react, Lu Shaojie's body was directly sent flying by Chen Qingfeng's slap.

Silence!

The entire scene.

Suddenly fell into a deathly silence once again!

Everyone stared blankly at Chen Qingfeng in the arena, then looked at Lu Shaojie, who had fallen in the distance, blood continuously spilling from his mouth, their hearts convulsing wildly.

“This kid…”

“Is he really crazy?”

“Although he has Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivation, Lu Shaojie is the Young Master of Eight Treasures Peak's Peak Lord!”

“Eight Treasures Peak is notoriously protective of its own, and he only has this one son. If he finds out his son was beaten, wouldn't he skin him alive?”

The crowd present couldn't help but discuss amongst themselves.

Either.

Chen Qingfeng was a reckless fool.

Or.

His background was even greater than Lu Shaojie's.

Otherwise.

Daring to touch Lu Shaojie, there would be no need for Eight Treasures Peak's Peak Lord to step forward; just Lu Shaojie's Senior Brothers in Eight Treasures Peak would be enough to kill Chen Qingfeng.

“As fellow Sect members, aren't you going a bit too far?”

Standing in the arena.

Qi Chunshan and Zhu Zi coldly watched Chen Qingfeng, their faces already filled with chill.

Although Chen Qingfeng was at Foundation Establishment Peak.

But if they were to truly fight, it was still uncertain who was stronger or weaker!

“Too far?”

“What? You're only allowed to bully the weak and rob me, but I'm not allowed to preemptively take action and grind him into the dirt?”

“What's wrong? Unconvinced? If you're unconvinced, then make a move. Should I go easy on you few wastes and let you call more wastes from Eight Treasures Peak, Qiqing Peak, and Wuping Peak?”
