165: He obtained the Primordial Purple Qi and broke through to the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm.

The Formation Flags were withdrawn and stored away, and Li Jiangchen's aura receded, as if nothing had happened.

The Phantom Star Emperor, who had been secretly observing, vaguely detected a slight difference in Li Jiangchen's aura, but it seemed veiled, making it impossible to see clearly.

'What is the Origin of this person...'

On the stage, the auction continued.

Perhaps it was Li Jiangchen's repeated bids that heated up the auction, as the prices of subsequent items were all higher than in previous years.

Finally, the last item was presented.

Fairy Honglian looked at the red silk on the tray, her heart surging with emotion.

Even though she already knew in advance about the final grand finale item, she still couldn't hide the tremor in her heart.

Her eyes burned with passion, and her jade hand slowly pulled back the red silk, revealing a crystal ball glowing with a purple aura on the tray.

No words were needed; that hint of purple immediately sent the entire hall into a frenzy.

"This is... primordial violet qi!"

"Heavens, even sealed, one can still sense the rich Origin of Wind contained within that purple hue.

This primordial violet qi is the Profound Truth of Wind."

"Tsk tsk, this is a good item for condensing a Supreme Divine Martial Art..."

Countless pairs of fervent eyes shot over.

"It really is primordial violet qi; that Phantom Star Emperor is quite generous..." Li Jiangchen's heart burned.

His Power of Wind and Thunder had long since reached Perfection of Fusion, and if this Wind Dao primordial violet qi were to empower it, his escape speed would undoubtedly increase greatly.

'I must bid for this item...'

Soon, Fairy Honglian spoke: "As you all can see, this item is indeed Wind Dao primordial violet qi.

It originated from the Minor Thousand Worlds' Storm Realm.

Many days ago, the Storm Realm was breached by the Monster Realm, the Storm Realm Lord died, and the world collapsed. Only this strand of primordial violet qi survived and was acquired by my adoptive father through various means."

Fairy Honglian recounted the Origin of this primordial violet qi, and in just a few words, she made everyone realize the cruelty of the Endless Starry Sky.

When the Grey and Demon Two Realms went to war, the minor and Middle Thousand Worlds in the vicinity had no way to avoid the collateral damage.

And the flames of war would soon spread to the Three Mountains Star Domain.

'The primordial violet qi of the Storm Realm... So, it was this old fellow, the Phantom Star Emperor, who snatched away my Opportunity back then.' The Golden Crown Demon Emperor's eyes turned frosty.

Back then, the Storm Realm was breached by him leading several Seventh Heaven Emperor Realm cultivators working together.

Yet, the greatest Opportunity—the primordial violet qi on the Storm Realm Lord—was snatched away in the chaos.

Now it seems it was none other than the Phantom Star Emperor.

Fairy Honglian took a deep breath and said, "The starting bid for this primordial violet qi is ten million, and each subsequent bid must not be less than one hundred thousand."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Saints gasped.

The starting bid alone was already approaching the limit of a Pseudo-Emperor's net worth.

No one knew what the final transaction price would reach.

Facing primordial violet qi, even Seventh Heaven Emperor Realm existences would likely make a move.

"Eleven million."

"This Saint bids twelve million Origin Qi stones."

...Soon, the price exceeded twenty million Origin Qi stones.

Several Pseudo-Emperors even got into a heated bidding war, their calls echoing one after another.

Suddenly, an aged voice rose from a quiet room in the outer area.

"Hehe, so lively, how about this old man also joins in?" The old man in a straw cloak and hat said, "This old man bids twenty-five million Origin Qi stones."

A wave of pressure swept across the hall, and immediately the eyes of the Saints widened.

"It's The Fisherman, the master of another Origin Mountain in the Three Mountains Star Domain."

"A Seventh Heaven Emperor Realm! I can't believe he would show up."

"It seems the ownership of this primordial violet qi is beyond doubt."

The Pseudo-Emperors immediately fell silent.

With a Seventh Heaven Emperor Realm making a move, raising the price to twenty-five million Origin Qi stones in one go, who would dare to challenge him?

Just then, a clear, cold voice resounded throughout the hall.

"I bid twenty-six million Origin Qi stones."

The entire hall fell silent.

Instantly, countless gazes shot over, all uniformly looking towards the quiet room where Li Jiangchen was.

"What is the Origin of this person? He dares to bid even in the face of a Seventh Heaven Emperor Realm."

"Is he courting death... or does he have some backing?"

On the mountaintop, Lady White Bone pouted her tender red lips and said, "That fellow The Fisherman loves to play these kinds of games.

However, that kid dares to challenge a Seventh Heaven Emperor Realm.

Phantom Star, do you really not know this person's background?"

The Phantom Star Emperor remained silent, merely shaking his head slightly.

"Hehe, young man, quite interesting, to dare to contend with this old man for this primordial violet qi." The Fisherman's gaze penetrated layers of Formations, and a young figure appeared in his vision.

His eyes glowed faintly, and he cast a physiognomy Divine Ability that could detect a person's Luck.

The Divine Abilities and secret techniques cultivated by Saints... often manifest in their Luck.

Therefore, The Fisherman often used this to investigate the background of his targets.

The next moment, a brilliant Luck, like a great sun, soared up, transforming into a towering Sword Qi.

"This is..."

The Fisherman's pupils contracted, and he quickly averted his gaze, trembling all over, his thoughts racing.

This kind of Luck manifestation... He had traveled through various Star Domains and had fortunately seen it once on a mysterious beggar.

It turned out that person was a Nine Heavens Supreme who played with the starry sky.

And the Luck of the person before him... seemed even more powerful than that Supreme's back then.

"Cough cough, a gentleman helps others achieve their goals. This old man most enjoys supporting the younger generation, so I will not contend with this young man for this primordial violet qi." The Fisherman's voice resounded through the main hall.

Leaving everyone baffled.

"Then many thanks for Your Excellency's generosity," Li Jiangchen said, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, yet The Fisherman found it immensely satisfying, as if it should be so.

'That fellow The Fisherman is not such a generous person; did he see something...' The Phantom Star Emperor remained silent.

He had once contended with him over the three Origin Mountains back then, so he naturally knew that he possessed a secret technique to detect Luck.

'This person's cultivation cannot be fake. He must be a Personal Disciple of some Supreme.

After the auction, it would be good to form a positive connection.'

At this point, no one else on the floor bid.

Ultimately, this primordial violet qi fell into Li Jiangchen's hands.

The auction ended, but many people secretly waited, unwilling to leave.

Among them was the Golden Crown Demon Emperor.

A moment later

"It is indeed Wind Dao primordial violet qi." Li Jiangchen drew a wisp of purple Qi to his fingertip, continuously integrating it into his Power of Wind and Thunder.

"Once it is completely refined, my escape speed will increase by at least thirty percent.

In the future, if I find a few Emperor-grade Wind Dao Divine Abilities, I might even be able to form a Supreme Divine Martial Art."

Putting away the primordial violet qi, Li Jiangchen took out the miniature Immortal Cave he had previously acquired. As he injected true essence, spatial fluctuations appeared around him in the next instant, and the surrounding scenery dramatically changed.

Pavilions, towers, flowers, birds, insects, fish, verdant jade ancient trees... a scene full of vitality.

Most importantly—an incredibly rich Origin aura.

"The dense Origin aura is indeed enough to allow one to Break Through to the Sixth Heaven Realm."

"In that case, let's begin the Breakthrough."

Li Jiangchen sat cross-legged, and the Demon cultivation on his panel burned.

[Year 1, you began to comprehend the Power of Space.]

...[Year 100, you comprehended Spatial Profundity to Sixth Heaven Perfection Realm.]

...[Year 200, you comprehended the Time Profundity to Sixth Heaven Perfection Realm.]

...[Year 1200, you comprehended the Profound Truth of Fire to Sixth Heaven Perfection Realm.]

At this moment, endless Origin Qi surged from all directions, forming an Origin Qi funnel at the mountaintop, frantically absorbing and transforming into drops of true essence that merged into his body.

But it was still a drop in the bucket.

Li Jiangchen resolutely crushed ten million Origin Qi stones, and the extremely rich and pure Origin Qi merged in, finally alleviating the pressure of insufficient Origin Qi.
