I picked up the scattered attributes

It should be noted that although he came from beyond the heavens and knew that soon, one of the tombs of the legendary powerhouse Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor would be connected to the space of the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum, Long Da's understanding of the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum itself mostly came from Qing Lin.

What Qinglin didn't know, he naturally couldn't possibly know either.

Before this, he had found a pseudo-dragon cave, where he had already gained great benefits. It was there that the Holy Son mistook him for an opportunity in the Demon Emperor's Tomb and kept "feeding" him with his blood and treasures!

The mere existence of a pseudo-dragon cave allowed him to advance further, solidifying his foundation and giving him renewed confidence to try breaking free from his shell.

So……

What if it's a true dragon's lair?

The mere thought of it was enough to excite him immensely. With that thought, Long Da didn't hesitate any longer and immediately connected to the spiderweb network: "Fellow Daoist Feng! Fellow Daoist Feng! I've found a True Dragon Cave—"

The Holy Son did not notice Long Da's subtle actions.

Having been tricked by Feng Xia twice in a row, he now has little power left, especially his original soul power, which he has completely contained without leaking out in the slightest.

It was precisely because of this that the Holy Son was completely unaware that he had been sold out completely by an egg without even realizing it!

……

Meanwhile, Feng Xia and Zhu You Niang had just ventured deep into a ruin.

Based on his exploration over this period, he has basically confirmed one thing: there are many ruins and buildings in the Demon Emperor's Tomb. Judging from their style, they do not seem to belong to the same race, and may even not belong to the same era!

It is obvious that they could not have all been built by the first Demon Emperor alone.

"Those ruins are also diverse. Perhaps they didn't originally belong to the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum, but were moved here by that Demon Emperor with great magic and refined into a part of the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum space..."

Feng Xia held Zhu You Niang with one hand and stroked the relief on the wall of the ruins with the other, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

He couldn't help but wonder if this was some kind of alternative form of funerary sacrifice.

"Or perhaps, the first Demon Emperor used this action to collect the remains and heritage of various races?" Feng Xia frowned. He still lacked some key information and could not deduce the truth behind it.

"Forget it, let's not think about it too much. Let's defeat the guardian here first."

Feng Xia perked up slightly and stared intently at the giant standing in the tall grotto.

The latter had obviously also noticed the three uninvited guests. After a deafening roar, the giant shattered the earth with his feet and charged towards Feng Xia with the purest physical strength.

"Young Lady!"

"Here we go!"

Boom boom boom boom——

A great battle has begun!

After an unknown amount of time, the earth-shaking commotion finally subsided. Feng Xia let out a long breath and landed on the ground with Zhu Youniang. His body swayed, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

This giant's strength is undoubtedly the greatest among all the guardians Feng Xia has encountered!

"That was... almost a disaster!"

Feng Xia breathed heavily for a few moments, while the girl beside him was also drenched in sweat, her clothes soaked and clinging tightly to her body, her high breasts heaving.

The girl lazily shifted and rolled over to lie in Feng Xia's arms.

The fox spirit Bai Xiao stood behind, watching longingly.

"This giant's strength should have reached the level of a demon king. Its physical strength is comparable to a divine weapon with a nascent core. In fact, if its parts fall off, it will turn into a smaller stone giant and continue fighting!"

"However, due to its clumsy movements and lack of combat experience as a true demon king, it was slowly worn down by me and Youniang. This means that the Azure Dragon incarnation is still a short distance away from the level of a demon king."

Feng Xia's lips curled up slightly, showing no sign of being discouraged by the distance.

Not long ago, there was a significant gap between the two, but now the gap has narrowed considerably. It shouldn't be long before the Azure Dragon incarnation is able to completely overcome it.

"As expected, choosing to let the Azure Dragon avatar break through as soon as possible was the right decision. In addition, these light orbs dropped by the attribute abilities seem to be usable on the avatar as well..."

Otherwise, Feng Xia would have had less experience in the Yuan Dan realm, and even with his extraordinary Azure Dragon incarnation and exceptional bloodline, he wouldn't have been able to maintain such rapid progress.

It still requires his own efforts (external support) to succeed.

"Is this the ancestral land of the Stone Clan that you mentioned?"

Suddenly, the fox spirit Bai Xiao's ears twitched, and she sat up from the ground. Her thick tail stood on end and swayed rapidly behind her. The fox spirit looked warily toward the entrance of the underground cave.

"Hah!" she uttered in a low voice.

An outsider has arrived!

"Seriously, are you sure you're not mistaken? What danger is there in this place? We haven't encountered any danger at all on our way here, except for a few big and small cats."

“Impossible. I clearly read in the ancient books that on the first level of the Demon Emperor's Tomb, in this ruin belonging to the Stone Clan, lies one of the most supreme inheritances…”

"But what we've encountered along the way is so different from what you described, isn't it?"

"It's possible that the book was from an earlier period, and as time passed, the creatures in this ruin gradually died out, eventually turning into the form we see today."

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped abruptly.

Pairs of eyes blinked and gazes met, causing the air around them to freeze for a moment.

"Have you received the inheritance here?"

Several pairs of eyes quickly fell on Feng Xia and the others. Suddenly, one of the figures exclaimed in surprise, "That guy... seems to be Xia Donghai, who has recently become infamous!"

"It really is Xia Donghai..."

"He looks rather weak!"

“If you look closely at his body, you can see that his yin energy is significantly stronger than his yang energy. The balance of yin and yang is not well maintained, which means that he has only just entered the Yuan Dan realm! This is a situation that only beginners who have just entered the Yuan Dan realm often encounter!”

The outsiders were silent at first, exchanging glances, and then almost simultaneously erupted:

"Hand over your inheritance immediately, and we, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, may spare your life!"

……

Chapter 0255

Let's rewind to a short time ago.

After defeating the stone giant, the stone giant's body gradually turned into spiritual light and dissipated into the air. At the same time, a talisman filled with strange light suddenly flew through the air and landed in Feng Xia's hand.

"what?"

Looking at the talisman in his hand, Feng Xia frowned: "It seems... it's neither a God-Breaking Talisman nor an Immortal-Breaking Talisman? That's strange, could it be a Spirit-Breaking Talisman?"

The answer is of course no.

The jade talisman that Feng Xia obtained after defeating the stone giant was something he had never seen before. It was completely different from the previous three jade talismans and was a brand new one!

The jade talisman had an ancient and simple color, and was filled with a mysterious aura that was melodious and ancient, like a sacred object from the primordial era!

"That's strange. Could it be that there are other jade talismans besides those three types?"

Not only that, Feng Xia thought of even more.

This stone giant is roughly equivalent to a demon king in strength, and possesses extraordinary innate abilities and extremely high defensive power, making it a formidable opponent.

If the opponent hadn't lacked wisdom and combat experience as a true demon king, even with the butcher's knife in hand, it would have been almost impossible for Feng Xia and Zhu You Niang to defeat them.

"Axia."

The gentle words from beside her slightly interrupted Feng Xia's thoughts.

Zhu Youniang stretched out her slender fingers and gently drew a few circles on Feng Xia's chest, her eyes filled with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking... indeed, the Yuan Dan realm should have a more detailed division, just like the previous major realms," Feng Xia said with a soft sigh.

In the Demon Emperor's Tomb, defeating a guardian who is one level higher than you can yield a Spirit-Breaking Talisman.

Two minor realms correspond to the God-Breaking Talisman, and four minor realms correspond to the Immortal-Breaking Talisman.

If we follow the outside world's division of the Yuan Dan realm, which only has three levels: initial, intermediate, and advanced, then a trial participant at the initial level of the Yuan Dan realm would already have to deal with a participant at the advanced level. And if someone is at the intermediate level of the Yuan Dan realm, they might have to defeat a guardian at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm, or even a guardian at the Dharma Aspect realm!

No matter how you look at it, it's a bit outrageous.

Furthermore, although this guardian stone giant is powerful, it is clearly within the Yuan Dan realm, roughly on par with the demon kings of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

This means that within the internal rules of the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum, there is an even more detailed classification for those who have reached the Yuan Dan realm.

"Sure enough, even without the opportunity to ascend the Heavenly Ladder, just based on this information alone, coming to the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum was definitely the right decision!" Feng Xia's eyes gradually brightened. "It has immense reference value for both the Azure Dragon incarnation and my own cultivation!"

"However, simply knowing that there are more detailed classifications is not enough; you also need to know the specific criteria for judgment..."

Just as Feng Xia was pondering, a series of footsteps sounded, and one figure after another appeared at the entrance of the grotto!

The air fell silent for a moment.

There were seven figures of varying heights: a burly man with bare chest and exposed breasts, a woman as delicate as a willow branch, a scholar with a frail appearance, and a young man carrying a bamboo box.

Their eyes were sharp and their aura was powerful, clearly indicating that they possessed considerable cultivation and strength. When they saw the Azure Dragon incarnation, their eyes lit up immediately.

Why is Xia Donghai so weak?

"Yin and Yang are out of balance, and the Qi is disordered... These are signs of someone who has just entered the Yuan Dan realm and has not yet solidified their foundation!"

The seven figures exchanged a glance, and without much hesitation, they made their move almost instantly.

In an instant, they rose up in a staggered fashion, completely surrounding Feng Xia and his two companions.

"Hand over your inheritance immediately, and we, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, may spare your life!"
