155: It's simple. I just broke through the Dongxuan realm.

Gu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes and said indifferently, “You… only have one chance to draw your sword.”

Upon hearing this, the seven people were slightly stunned, then angrily said, “Arrogant!”

“You’re on the verge of death and don’t even realize it!”

“Later, I’m going to blast your Sword Body into pieces and make you kneel on the ground and crawl like a dog!”

“Die!”

The seven people erupted in anger simultaneously, each unleashing their secret techniques, and seven brilliant Sword Qi, as if capable of cleaving the sun and moon, were about to burst forth.

They all surged towards the figure in the center.

“Sword of Piercing Heart!”

“Lifeless Sword Qi!”

“Startling Dragon Slash!”

...“So powerful, these… these are all killer moves that only True Disciples can cultivate!”

“With seven True Disciples attacking together, even an ordinary Cave Profound Old Monster would have to retreat.”

“Li Daoyi is dead for sure!”

The onlookers stared at the sky full of sword shadows, their eyes filled with astonishment.

In the distance, Yan Xu, the Elder of the Enforcement Hall, had a hint of a smile on his face.

Sun Guangsheng in the crowd shook his head and sighed, “Alas, why bother…”

In the Void Realm, Su Meiqing’s gaze was icy, showing no expression, but her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and waves stirred in her heart.

Whoosh—

He moved!

Gu Changsheng’s expression was cold, his body faintly revealing Profound Cave power, and a faint sword shadow appeared in his palm, devouring all surrounding light like a black hole.

At the same time, various mysterious auras flickered around him.

Mystic Sword Body, activate!

Sword Heart Transcendent, activate!

The two Major Achievement level sword arts amplified the power of the Wisdom Sword Technique by eight times!

Clang—

Gu Changsheng used his palm as a sword, casually tearing through the air, and a faint glow sliced through the Void Realm, like a black meteor streaking across the sky.

The Sword Qi manifested and dissipated; upon contact, the seven killer moves crumbled and scattered.

However, the remaining power of the sword gleam was undiminished, flashing past the figures of several people in a flash of lightning, passing straight through their bodies.

Pfft—

The seven True Disciples all flew back several hundred feet, their crimson blood splattering across the Void Realm.

“My head hurts so much!”

“Damn it!”

“Ah!”

With his Heavenly Soul damaged, Yan Xing only felt his mind become Chaos, and the secret technique he had clearly comprehended now seemed like an impenetrable mist.

“This is… the Wisdom Sword Technique…” Everyone was dumbfounded.

“Not only that, when Li Daoyi used his sword art just now, his body faintly revealed Profound Cave power.

With such great power, it must have been boosted by the Mystic Sword Body.

At least it’s at the Major Achievement level.”

“Yan Xing and the others are finished… The Wisdom Sword Technique primarily harms wisdom.

Even if they survive, their Comprehension Ability will be damaged, their foundation greatly reduced, and they will eventually be overthrown by others.”

Boom—

The residual power of the Wisdom Sword Technique, like a blazing flame, slammed into the protective Formation around the Duel Sword Platform.

Immediately, the azure light screen produced layers of ripples, continuously spreading.

The Formation trembled, emitting a sound like a grand bell, and after a huge bang, the outer azure light screen burst like a bubble.

Suddenly, the entire audience was stunned.

The Formation of the Duel Sword Platform could only be broken through by Dongxuan Realm level combat power.

Doesn't that mean that Li Daoyi, with his True Core cultivation, could rival a Dongxuan Realm Cultivator and fight across realms?

Simply unheard of!

In the distance, Yan Xu, the Elder of the Enforcement Hall, was startled, and a resentful look flashed in his eyes.

Yan Xing and the others were from his faction; with their souls damaged and their foundations greatly reduced, the struggle for the Sword Lineage was likely to be lost.

Yan Xu’s eyes flickered, as if he thought of something, and his voice, like a grand bell, spread throughout the entire venue: “Li Daoyi,

the Sect’s secret technique exchange records have never shown you exchanging for the Wisdom Sword Technique and the Mystic Sword Body.

You, using despicable means to secretly learn this Sect’s secret techniques, how can you not know your crime!”

As soon as these words came out, the entire audience was in an uproar.

Laws must not be lightly passed down.

Even a True Disciple, wishing to obtain Shu Mountain’s powerful Dao of the Sword secret techniques, would need to exchange them with a vast amount of merit points.

There were exceptions, unless you were a Dongxuan Elder, with greatly increased authority, then naturally no one would dare question your study of True Disciple secret techniques.

All the Shu Mountain Disciples frowned.

“The Sect’s secret techniques already had a Restriction placed in the sea of souls during their exchange, so they couldn’t be stolen at all.

Unless Li Daoyi could deduce the secret techniques simply by observing them with his naked eye.

If that’s true… this… this is simply a heaven-sent genius!”

“Although Li Daoyi is overbearing, if he possesses such talent, it might not be impossible for him to glimpse the threshold of the Yang Spirit Realm.”

“The Enforcement Hall is going a bit too far…”

Suddenly, a cold snort came from below the stage: “Hmph, Li Daoyi violated Sect rules, secretly learning secret techniques, and should have his cultivation crippled.”

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and it was Gu Luosheng, his face full of anger.

Seeing his enemy being praised by so many Disciples, the fire of jealousy in his heart was about to erupt.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately drew agreement from many interested parties.

“Yes, Senior Brother Gu is right.

Just by looking with the naked eye, to deduce a secret technique.

And it’s the Wisdom Sword Technique… Mystic Sword Body… such powerful secret techniques among the True Disciples, do you believe it?”

“Our Shu Mountain is a righteous Sect, how can we tolerate such a despicable person!”

“We earnestly request all Elders to cripple Li Daoyi’s cultivation to serve as a warning to others!”

For a time, the Disciples demanding strict punishment were thunderous in their shouts.

Sun Guangsheng was dejected: “Li Daoyi… he’s probably finished…”

Originally, Su Meiqing, who was standing proudly in the Void Realm, shook her head and turned to leave.

‘Sure enough, others are unreliable… only I myself…’ Gu Changsheng looked at Su Meiqing’s departing back, his eyes growing firmer.

Thump—

Yan Xu stepped onto the Duel Sword Platform.

His expression was sinister, his Qi surged, and his Middle Stage Dongxuan Realm cultivation was fully revealed.

He clutched a silver chain in his hand, emitting a restricting profound light, and sneered, “Li Daoyi, will you surrender, or do you want this Old Man to act personally?”

‘Li Daoyi, today is a death trap, how will you break it?’ Yan Xu secretly sneered in his heart.

Gu Changsheng’s expression was calm, facing the overwhelming accusations, as if a gentle breeze, a faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth: “Simple, I’ll just Breakthrough to the Dongxuan Realm.”

A trace of Qi was revealed, like a lotus gradually blooming.

As the petals unfolded, the ground beneath Gu Changsheng’s feet was covered with countless cracks, and his aura steadily climbed.

Until… he suddenly Broke Through.

Dongxuan Realm!

Instantly, the entire audience was speechless.

Punishment not applying to True Disciples was still an unwritten rule.

Secretly learning secret techniques, such a matter, when applied to a Dongxuan Elder, was nothing.

Moreover, Shu Mountain had an extremely high tolerance for Dongxuan Elders.

Even if they violated the rules, the Enforcement Hall had absolutely no authority to judge them.

“Holy crap! Li Daoyi actually Broke Through to the Dongxuan Realm without a sound, that’s too outrageous!”

“So, he had been suppressing his cultivation all this time, fighting one against seven, no wonder…”

“It seems that the master of this Sword Lineage is none other than him.”

Many Shu Mountain Disciples exclaimed.

Gu Luosheng, however, had a bitter expression, unable to believe his eyes.

How long had it been, and Li Daoyi had actually Broke Through to the Dongxuan Realm?

Thinking of years of scheming, it all seemed as ridiculous as child’s play now.

“It’s over, it’s over…”

Old Ancestor Jin Jian’s face turned pale.

If he had known Li Daoyi would Breakthrough to the Dongxuan Realm so quickly, how would he have dared to seek him out?

“You…”

On the Duel Sword Platform, Yan Xu’s fingertips trembled, his eyes filled with astonishment.

With Li Daoyi’s Breakthrough to the Dongxuan Realm, the original crime of secretly learning techniques was completely baseless.

And for this, he had offended an existence of the same rank.

‘I shouldn’t have been greedy for that benefit… Damn Jin Jian.

I need to find a way to make amends…’

Yan Xu’s expression suddenly changed, a smiling face, like nothing had happened, he put away the chain: “Haha, good.

Congratulations to True Disciple Li Daoyi on his Breakthrough to the Dongxuan Realm.

This is truly a blessing for our Shu Mountain.”

Secretly, he sent a sound transmission: “Li Daoyi, this humble one was also misled by a villain. Three days later, this humble one will definitely visit to apologize…”

‘This old ghost’s ability to adapt to the situation is no less than his cultivation…’ Gu Changsheng immediately understood Yan Xu’s meaning.

The Dongxuan Realm wasn’t about fighting and killing, but about exchanging benefits.

He immediately smiled and said, “It was all a misunderstanding.

Elder and I are both fellow Disciples of Shu Mountain, fighting among ourselves, it’s all due to a villain instigating from behind.”

Secretly, he sent a sound transmission, demanding a series of resources.

If he wanted to reconcile, without shedding some blood, how could it be so easy?

Gu Changsheng only stopped when he heard Yan Xu’s face gradually turn pale.

Yan Xu was annoyed in his heart, but he couldn’t show it, and his smile completely froze on his face.

He subtly nodded in agreement… Three days later.

Yan Xu flew out of his Immortal Cave, his face ashen.

“This Li Daoyi, he really opened his mouth wide… However, if this enmity can be resolved, it’s worth it.

Perhaps, I can even take the opportunity to win him over and bring him into our faction.”

Inside the courtyard.

Gu Changsheng’s expression was calm as he put away a Storage Pouch.

Inside, there was a massive amount of Dao of the Sword resources.

The most valuable among them were three Spirit Treasure-grade Flying Swords.

“Feiyu, Jingzhe, Queyue… three Spirit Treasure-grade Flying Swords.

The power of my Zhuxian Sword Formation has increased again…”

Gu Changsheng smiled faintly, his gaze shifting to the brocade box on the table.

Inside, the head of Old Ancestor Jin Jian was displayed.

Sometimes, an enemy doesn’t necessarily need to be personally killed.

As long as your value is great enough, just by giving a few hints, others will help you solve your troubles.
