I picked up the scattered attributes

Upon hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor's expression finally changed slightly, and he exclaimed, "How could this be? Only six? We clearly agreed beforehand that you would provide us with twelve seats!"

"This is that person's decision, not something we can control."

The two girls shook their heads in unison and said, "However, we heard that the Great Wizard sensed an abnormal change in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He said that this year is different from usual and may involve some kind of astonishing upheaval in heaven and earth. In order to avoid any accidents, he finally decided to reduce the number of people allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum."

"We can't change anything, and neither can you."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanwu's face turned ashen.

After a long while, he took a deep breath, cupped his hands to the two girls, and said, "In any case, I must thank you both for coming to inform me. The opening time of the imperial tomb should not have changed, right?"

"The timing hasn't changed." The two girls shook their heads in unison.

"It's good that the time hasn't changed." Emperor Xuanwu breathed a slight sigh of relief, then bowed again expressionlessly, saying, "Also, please convey my gratitude to that official. If it weren't for his help..."

"we know."

Two young girls suddenly stood up and walked out of the imperial study one after the other. Their figures slowly faded away, turning into phantoms that drifted into the air.

The twin sisters walked quite a distance, when one of them suddenly sneered, "Sister, you've seen it all, haven't you? This guy wasn't thinking about you at all; from beginning to end, he was only thinking about his grand scheme!"

“I know.” The other girl shook her head gently.

"You saw it all and you're still like this? If it weren't for you pleading for him, he wouldn't even have gotten one of the six spots! And look at this guy, thank goodness, he's not even thanking you!"

"He didn't know it was me who did it."

"Then why don't you tell him, sister!"

"It's not necessary."

Amidst the argument, the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance.

Royal study room.

Seeing the two figures leave, Emperor Xuanwu suddenly leaned back, somewhat weakly against his chair. After a short while, he straightened up again and looked towards the door of the Imperial Study—someone else was coming.

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

Both of them bowed to His Majesty the Emperor.

If Feng Xia were here, she would definitely recognize these two people as Mo Zi'an and Qing Yue at a glance!

"You may rise, no need for formalities." Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand somewhat listlessly. "How are your preparations going, you two?"

Mo Zian and Qingyue exchanged a glance, then nodded and smiled in unison, "We have mastered that technique. When we enter the imperial mausoleum this time, we will surely be able to help His Majesty break that seal!"

"A seal..."

Emperor Xuanwu stood up, his hands behind his back, his expression seemingly filled with reminiscence, and his voice gradually became more heroic: "So much has been sacrificed, so much has been given, seven hundred years of long waiting... the time for reward has finally come."

No one could see that in His Majesty the Emperor's eyes, there seemed to be countless overlapping shadows, spanning the long years, shimmering with an immortal brilliance.

After a long silence, he slowly uttered a few words:

"The founding emperor's 'world-changing' plan..."

……

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

When Feng Xia heard Long Da's roar, she actually slipped and almost fell face down to the ground: "You mean this little one... is your mother?"

He raised his hand and pointed to the girl with an unfriendly expression not far away.

No, even describing her as a "young girl" is somewhat inaccurate. The girl was half a head shorter than Zhu Youniang, with a petite and flat figure, and was wearing a simple and loose long dress.

If you put her on the street and told her she was twelve, no one would believe she was thirteen.

But Long Da actually said...

This girl is his mother, a powerful and domineering demon lord!

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Long Da chuckled and circled the girl a few times, then bounced around contentedly: "My mother's original size was too enormous, making it difficult to purify her bloodline in a short period. However, after transforming into human form, this problem was naturally solved. Otherwise, why would some demon beasts transform into human form?"

The girl seemed quite uncomfortable with this form. While Feng Xia and Long Da were talking, she kept twisting her little arms and legs, as if insects were crawling all over her.

Only her pair of golden vertical pupils revealed her non-human identity.

"Are you... a human?"

The girl's gaze fell on Feng Xia, and she uttered a childish voice. Then she frowned, coughed several times, and finally made her voice a little deeper:

What brings you here?

……

Chapter 0134

Feng Xia glanced at Long Da, who immediately understood and flew to the little girl, saying in a high-pitched voice, "Mother, these guys are the ones I brought back. They should be of great help on this trip to the imperial tomb."

"The helper you brought?"

Qinglin's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes swept over Fengxia's people, lingered on Zhu Youniang's face for a moment, and finally settled on Lei Shao and Chu Zhuyun.

She gave a soft snort, a cold smile appearing on her small face: "My child, although you are born with extraordinary wisdom, you have seen too little of the wickedness of the human heart. You are just a few supernatural beings from Qianqiu Valley, not even comparable to Emperor Xuanwu. What virtue or ability do you have to let them enter the imperial mausoleum?"

Long Da didn't recognize Lei Shao and the others, but Qing Lin remembered them clearly.

As Feng Xia listened, he couldn't help but cough and remind him, "Fellow Daoist, Feng... I am not an elder of Qianqiu Valley."

Mr. Wu?

Lei Shao and the others exchanged a slight glance, and then they realized that the new sect leader had likely chosen to use a pseudonym in front of these demonic beasts!

"He's with this group of people, but they're not elders of Thousand Autumn Valley?"

The little girl snorted, crossed her arms, and tried to look down at Feng Xia from her high position, but the attempt quickly failed.

She frowned in dissatisfaction, and suddenly her figure floated into the air, finally gaining high ground in her field of vision.

It really is a demonic beast at the Yuan Dan realm!

Feng Xia felt a chill run down his spine. Humans could only fly if they cultivated the Feather Transformation Technique before reaching the Yuan Dan Realm. The restrictions on demon beasts were less, as those birds were born with the ability to fly.

However, even for demonic beasts, levitation in mid-air like this is absolutely impossible without the cultivation of the Yuan Dan realm.

"Sure enough, I need to find a Feather Transformation Technique to cultivate as soon as possible, or return to the Yuan Dan Realm as soon as possible, otherwise when experts fight, everyone will be flying and disappearing into the ground, and I'll be the only one running wildly on the ground..."

You bastard! Don't you dare try to fly away!

Feng Xia thought to herself, feeling both amused and envious.

The little girl, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly swayed as if she had lost control and crashed face down onto the ground.

Feng Xia: "..."

Long Da was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly, "Mom, are you alright—"

"I'm fine, damn it..."

The little girl struggled for a few moments before getting up from the ground, covered in dust and grime. She muttered with a pained expression, "Damn it, this body is such a nuisance. My limbs are short and weak, and I can't even slide on the ground. Does it have to be like this?"

Upon hearing this, Long Da nodded solemnly: "This is not an ordinary transformation technique, but rather it compresses the physical body and bloodline to a certain extent, allowing you to complete the purification and awakening of your bloodline at a faster speed..."

He paused here, then added in a serious voice, "The larger the body size, the lower the degree of compression, and the lower the efficiency of bloodline purification and awakening. On the contrary, if you could shrink a little more, Mother, perhaps you could complete the step I set before the imperial tomb is opened."

"This is such a hassle, will this really work?"

Feng Xia wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but when the little girl got up, he felt that she seemed to have gotten a little shorter.

"I am Qinglin, the lord of the demon beasts here. If you are not an elder of Qianqiu Valley, then who are you?"

The little girl turned her head and looked at Feng Xia expressionlessly.

Feng Xia subconsciously reached out and rubbed the other's head. Before Qing Lin could react, he continued in a serious tone, "I am the new headmaster of Qianqiu Valley—Wu Yanzu."

As expected, the sect leader used a false name... A look of understanding flashed in the eyes of Elders Lei Shao and Chu Zhuyun.

However, somewhat to Feng Xia's surprise, Qing Lin, being a demon beast, seemed to have no reaction to the head-rubbing gesture. She simply nudged Feng Xia's palm and said with a cold laugh, "New sect leader? Where did that old ghost Ji Qixi go?"

"Senior Ji... has already passed away," Feng Xia replied after a moment of silence.

"died?"

Qinglin was clearly taken aback, obviously not expecting Feng Xia's answer: "How could that guy... how could he die so quickly? The last time I saw him, he was full of confidence, saying he was going to break through to the Yuan Dan stage..."

Lei Shao, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but cough and whispered a reminder: "Senior Qinglin, the last time you met my master was fifty years ago."

"Fifty years? That's not a long time at all..."

Qinglin was somewhat bewildered for a moment.

However, she quickly regained her composure, her golden vertical pupils fixed on Feng Xia, and she spoke slowly and deliberately: "However, even if you are the new head of Qianqiu Valley, the number of places I have is limited. Although my child has already spoken, whether you can get one depends on your ability."

"If we lack the strength, even if I agree to your request, it will be useless."

The little girl paused, her entire body surging with powerful demonic energy, which transformed into a sharp, low shout: "Because it depends on whether my subordinates agree!"

Roar--

Right behind her, countless demonic beasts roared at the foot of the North Cliff, their roars deafening and raising towering dust, as if they could shake the heavens with a single roar!

The world of monsters is simpler and more direct than that of humans, and places greater emphasis on strength.
