I picked up the scattered attributes

She couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.

Despite being wanted by His Highness the Holy Son and surrounded by so many demonic beasts, Xia Donghai remained lively and energetic, seemingly able to do whatever he pleased without any restrictions whatsoever...

Just how much strength is this guy hiding?

"Young master, may I ask you a question?"

The fox spirit Bai Xiao suddenly asked.

The Azure Dragon avatar nodded noncommittally: "Ask away."

The fox demon Bai Xiao licked his tail before asking in a serious tone, "What is your true level of cultivation?"

True cultivation?

This question gave Feng Xia a lot to think about.

Does the cultivation level of an avatar count as the cultivation level of one's true self?

According to the description in "The Floating Dream Three Lives Manual", the cultivation of the avatar can be integrated into the main body, allowing the main body's strength to increase by leaps and bounds. But in the end, it is just a kind of fusion.

Therefore, the answer is clearly no.

So what level of cultivation does one's true self possess?

"The reason I let the Azure Dragon avatar go ahead is because the path of cultivation of my true self is not clear. I have entered the Yuan Dan realm many times, but I can feel that it is not the Yuan Dan realm that I truly want."

Having made up his mind, Feng Xia turned to look at the fox demon Bai Xiao and gave his answer in the same serious tone:

"You might not believe my true level of cultivation if I told you."

"Young master, please rest assured, no matter what level you have reached, I will not be surprised." The fox spirit Bai Xiao pursed her lips and smiled with her eyebrows curving.

Hearing this, he felt relieved: "I am now at the first level of the Dao Platform Realm."

Although he had several Dao bricks, he did not have a complete Dao Platform realm. However, when those Dao bricks were pieced together, they could barely be considered as a first level of Dao Platform.

Therefore, he should be at the first level of the Dao Platform Realm.

"You're lying!"

However, the fox demon Bai Xiao opened his mouth and then uttered a few words with resentment: "With a mere gesture, you easily suppressed hundreds of demonic beasts, including many like Wang Kong who were at the sixth or seventh level of the Dao Platform Realm. How could your strength only be at the first level of the Dao Platform Realm? Young Master, you must be lying to me!"

To this, Feng Xia could only shrug:

"See, I told you you wouldn't believe me, right?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that your story is so unbelievable..."

"Alright, alright. Actually, I'm currently at the Dharma Aspect Realm, and I'm preparing to take down that Holy Son."

Feng Xia waved his hand and readily corrected himself.

However, the fox spirit Bai Xiao still didn't believe it. She gently shook her head and said, "The Dharma Aspect Realm is too exaggerated."

"See? I told you nobody cared about that holy son, didn't I?"

"Wait a minute! You just said you wanted to—"

The fox demon Bai Xiao belatedly realized what was happening.

Xia Donghai actually intends to attack the Holy Son. Doesn't he realize that the Holy Son's true form here is not his real body? Even if he kills him, it won't truly harm the Holy Son. Instead, it will only intensify the Holy Son's hatred.

"No, with your great wisdom, young master, you probably already considered this. So why is that..."

Bai Xiao quickly shook his head, rejecting this most unreliable idea.

She could tell that Xia Donghai was a man of great wisdom, and his previous actions had all demonstrated this judgment.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to follow Feng Xia.

Feng Xia chuckled and said, "Since that the Holy Son who came in wasn't his true form, have you considered something... that he left his power on more than just one demon beast?"

Bai Xiao's crescent-shaped eyes suddenly widened, her soft fur bristled, and her thick, fluffy fox tail stood on end.

"You...you mean..."

“His Highness the Holy Son must have more than one ‘avatar’. If there are too many, it will be difficult for him to manage them. What if the avatars are punished? Wouldn’t that be even more troublesome? I, Xia Donghai, have always been kind to people. I’m just helping His Highness the Holy Son solve some troubles.”

"???"

Of course, that's not the real reason.

There is only one real reason—

News came from Long Da's side that he had basically reached his limit in nurturing his power, and then he solemnly announced it to everyone...

His Highness has completely lost his usefulness!

Since you've lost your usefulness, Your Highness should peacefully go to the underworld and live out your remaining years there.

"Let's go."

Feng Xia glanced at the fox demon Bai Xiao: "If you have the guts, then feel free to follow me. As for that technique you want to learn, I can teach it to you..."

"Really?" Bai Xiao's eyes immediately lit up.

How many demons wouldn't be envious of the cultivation techniques practiced by the Holy Son of the Demon Clan?

Saying you don't want it is definitely a lie!

"Young master, you don't necessarily want to..."

Bai Xiao's eyes shone with a captivating light, rippling gently. Coupled with her gentle voice and graceful movements, she possessed a mesmerizing charm.

"Looks like you're all ready?" Feng Xia smiled slightly, casually raising his fist. "In that case, I won't hold back—"

"Eh?! Wait, wait a minute! Young master, what are you doing... Ahh!!"

A moment later, the fox demon Bai Xiao, clutching her head and trembling, hid behind a large tree, staring at Feng Xia with a resentful expression: "Why did you hit me? Did I do something wrong?"

"Didn't you say you were prepared to get beaten up?"

Feng Xia gave the fox demon a strange look: "Why are you asking me this now?"

Bai Xiao: "?"

When did she ever say she was prepared to get beaten up?!

Before she could explain, Feng Xia suddenly focused her gaze, raised her hand and gently pulled Bai Xiao onto an ancient tree in the distance.

A few breaths later, a slender figure walked over, looked around, and then looked up at the tree canopy above.

Soon, the girl realized what was going on. She lightly leaped and instantly arrived at the top of the tree, where she met Feng Xia's eyes.

Almost instantly, a smile bloomed on her face, like a bright flower in full bloom.

"Ah Xia, is this the fox you were talking about getting rid of?"

……

Chapter 0246

“Mee--!!”

The moment Zhu Youniang spoke, the fox demon Bai Xiao behind Feng Xia screamed, like a fluffy ball of yarn bursting open, staring at her with extremely wary eyes.

However, the more she looked, the more desperate she felt.

She felt an unprecedented pressure from the half-human, half-spider girl in front of her, which made her feel alarmed, as if she were facing the king of monsters, the one revered by all monsters—the Demon King!

Is this girl a demon king?

How is this possible!

As everyone knows, demon kings are not allowed to enter the demon emperor's tomb. If they violate this rule, they will become the common enemy of the other demon kings and will be attacked by them immediately!

Various rumors claim that the space inside the Demon Emperor's Tomb is unstable, and if the power of a Demon King were to erupt, it could cause a terrible chain reaction, or even trigger a devastating disaster!

Therefore, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, the Demon God Palace had already set up an extremely complex restriction outside the entrance to the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum. Anyone whose cultivation level reached the high stage of the Yuan Dan realm would be detected by the restriction, thus cutting off the possibility of the Demon King entering.

"But if it's not the Demon King, then what is this feeling of trembling..."

The moment Zhu Youniang set her sights on her, Bai Xiao felt a sharp pain all over her body, as if she were being cleaved in two by an invisible blade and about to be torn to pieces.

"It's not her." Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Feng Xia shook her head and said, "She's just a passing simp."

"So it wasn't her after all."

Zhu Youniang nodded, her aura instantly subsiding, while Bai Xiao felt a great weight lifted from her shoulders, her body going limp, and she fell off the tree with a thud.

Furthermore, there was a word she had never heard before that lingered in Bai Xiao's mind:

What does "simp" mean?

"Why did you call me a simp, young master?"

"A-Xia, the dragon is currently located about 160 li to our northwest."

Following Feng Xia's instructions, Zhu Youniang quickly closed her eyes to sense the surroundings and then provided detailed directions.

True.

His Highness the Holy Son is a master of concealment, and Feng Xia is not good at divination. Even with Zhu Youniang's innate ability, she would have to first plant the supernatural power before she could pinpoint the exact location.

But who could blame them when a traitor appeared in His Highness's office?
