With a slight hint from Shen Mo, the Sea Cucumber Monster understood where it had failed.
This magic sword that shattered its shield, whether for flight or executing sword styles, was inferior to an average profound-level middle-grade sword artifact. However, in terms of breaching defenses and penetrating barriers, even a profound-level high-grade sword artifact fell short in comparison! Of course, only those with profound accomplishments in the Forging Path could achieve such a feat. Others simply could not balance the various performance aspects of a magic artifact; a forced forging would most likely result in a defective item.
"Fellow Daoist, your Forging techniques are remarkable. I concede!"
The Sea Cucumber Monster moved its colossal body aside, clearing the way.

In a magnificent, dreamlike hall, Shen Mo finally met the Demon Lord Ming Cang, who possessed an extraordinary demeanor.
