I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

This Lesson Teaches Us That One Should Not Trigger Flags

What what what?

What the heck do you understand?

And what exactly are you thanking me for, and why should I be thanked?

For a moment, Feng Xia was dumbfounded as he looked at the old man who had bowed deeply to him. “Um… what you said just now, can you say that again?”

At this moment, the old man also realized that he had lost his composure earlier. He took a deep breath and said with an extremely serious expression, “Fellow practitioner, you might not know this. Although what you said earlier might have been unintentional, it’s no less than enlightenment to me!”

“There are very few people who can see through the secrets of the Primal Core. Even though there are people who know how to condense the core, they often keep it to themselves.”

“For you to tell me the way, it’s equivalent to giving me a new life!”

At this point, the old man bent his body again and bowed deeply to Feng Xia.

This time, Feng Xia finally understood what it was all about.

Even so, he still felt a headache coming on.

“You said that the nonsense I spouted just now… I mean the things that I unintentionally mentioned are actually the secrets of Dao Platform Realm divine beings breaking through to the Primal Core Realm?”

“That’s right. The words ‘stabilize Yin and Yang’ summarizes the essence of the Primal Core.”

There was a trace of brightness on Ji Qixi’s aged face. “Xuanwu Kingdom has been established for more than 700 years, and there are many people who have achieved the Dao Platform. However, I’m afraid there’s hardly anyone who can take the last step and forge that Primal Core in a hundred years!”

Even though Feng Xia was already mentally prepared, he was still left speechless.

“Is it because the spiritual energy has declined too much in the past 3,000 years, or is Patriarch Chenhai’s bragging… that exaggerated?”

Feng Xia’s eyes darted around as various thoughts ran through his mind.

Perhaps it was because Patriarch Chenhai had been sealed for too long and had never met a person he could communicate with, and that made him feel repressed for too long. Therefore, when Feng Xia went to look for him, as long as the old man had nothing to do, he would brag about all kinds of great deeds that had happened in his life.

About things like the Three Gods of the Primeval Realm and the Three Holy Lands…

About the best soul cultivation technique in the world…

Also about the bad guy Wu Guan and his forty-four harems…

It was indeed very boring to practice martial arts. Therefore, most of the time, Feng Xia would quietly listen to the old man’s stories. Anyway, he just treated it as a fantasy novel.

Patriarch Chenhai talked about his idea of hierarchy in the outside world.

Mystical beings were ranked below dogs. Dao Platform beings were everywhere.

Primal Core beings could barely be considered humans. Dharma Characteristic beings were only at the elementary level.

There were higher realms above the Dharma Characteristic Realm.

“Logically speaking, there were so many experts 3,000 years ago, and there was no lack of people with extraordinary strength. It was not strange for them to live for more than 3,000 years like Patriarch Chenhai.” Feng Xia frowned and thought to himself, feeling a little confused. “But, where did all these people go?”

Hearing what this Sect Master Ji said, it was not difficult for Feng Xia to deduce a fact—

After 3,000 years, even the method to condense a Primal Core had been lost. Therefore, the divine beings of the later generations could only find things out on their own bit by bit.

“No matter how you look at it, isn’t it a little too exaggerated?”

“It doesn’t feel like a natural decline after the spiritual energy is exhausted. Instead, it feels more like… more like…”

Feng Xia was halfway through muttering to himself when his blood ran cold.

A terrifying thought had entered his mind.

“It’s more like someone deliberately prevented the divine beings from passing their legacies on to the next generations? But… who can possess such power? Can the ‘god’ that Patriarch Chenhai mentioned do this?”

“To be able to grasp the secrets of the Primal Core, your background must be very extraordinary. However, you share with me the secret of breaking through to the Primal Core Realm without holding anything back…”

At the same time, Ji Qixi finally stood up again and said emotionally, “Your words are like a gift. Now, I have a 10% chance of breaking through to the Primal Core Realm.”

“It’s good to be confident. Just… Wait! What did you just say?”

Feng Xia was about to cup his fists and congratulate the old man when he realized that something was wrong. “Did you just say that… you only have a 10% chance?!”

He saw Ji Qixi sighing with emotion and feeling agitated for so long that he thought this old Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley was going to immediately perform a breakthrough right there and then…

In the end, he only felt that he had a 10% chance!

Then why did he make it sound like he was already in the Primal Core Realm?

“With the current situation in the Thousand Autumn Valley, I’ll do my best to fight for it even if it’s just a 5% chance, let alone 10%.”

The old Sect Master, Ji Qixi, smiled faintly as he shook his head and looked into the sky.

He did not continue speaking. Instead, he stood there for a moment before hurriedly bidding farewell and leaving.

“What are we going to do? Are we going to stay here?”

Zhu Youniang poked her head out from behind Feng Xia, holding a packet of candied plums in her hand. She muttered incoherently, “If you still stay in the Thousand Autumn Valley, chew chew, the danger you’ll encounter next won’t just be these, chew chew.”

For a mutant like her, it made no difference where she went after leaving the Ancient Forsaken Land—as long as she had good food.

The underlying assumption was that she was able to stay safe, of course.

Well…

She had to include Feng Xia’s safety as well. After all, her original motive for leaving the Ancient Forsaken Land was to find an opportunity to openly vent her anger on Feng Xia.

She had not even made her move yet, so how could anyone else?

As for the grudges between humans, Zhu Youniang did not care at all.

None of my business.

None of your business.

“There’s no harm in staying in the Thousand Autumn Valley for the time being, assuming that it’s still safe.”

Feng Xia shook his head as he thought intently. “In any case, if I insist on leaving, it’ll be impossible for anyone to make me stay unless that Primal Core Realm cultivator from the Xuanwu Kingdom royal family comes personally to kill me…”

Rumble—

The moment he finished speaking, a violent tremor suddenly came from the depths of the ground!

In the next moment, a magnificent red divine light shot into the sky from the distant Mount Canglan. After that, four more divine lights rose in four different directions!

The five beams of divine light were extremely thick. They flew around like flood dragons and intertwined in the sky, becoming a huge cage that enclosed the Thousand Autumn Valley within it!

“It looks like we won’t be able to leave.”

Feng Xia had just taken a step forward when he suddenly stopped and smiled bitterly. “As expected, one shouldn’t trigger flags. I’ve only just finished speaking, and the enemy is already at my door…”

Moreover, he could already tell that it was an extremely powerful array formation. Given that it was activated right outside the main gate of the Thousand Autumn Valley, it could only have one purpose…

“Today, the Thousand Autumn Valley is destined to become history—”

At the end of the horizon, a murderous voice sounded, echoing above the Thousand Autumn Valley!
