I picked up the scattered attributes

The demonic bird wielded the flames with abandon, and all living beings felt as if a vast sun had appeared above their heads in an instant!

The Chiwu clan of Tanggu possesses the bloodline of the ancient Golden Crow and is a natural master of the Great Dao of the Sun!

"Ok?"

In the icy, snow-covered Heavenly Throne Secret Realm, Shuang Xueming, who was secretly observing, suddenly gasped for breath. Then, he couldn't help but smile: "Xia Donghai, Xia Donghai, you are far too arrogant. You offended the Holy Son and still don't know how to restrain yourself. You actually came here and offended us all as well!"

In his view, the reason for Chi Yanli's sudden rise was very simple.

The talks broke down!

Given Xia Donghai's arrogant attitude, it's easy to imagine what kind of embarrassing demands he would make when faced with Chi Yanli's desire to make a deal.

As the pride of the Chiwu clan of Tanggu, how could Chi Yanli possibly accept those outrageous demands?

"Hmph, get lost—"

On the Heavenly Ladder, a dazzling golden divine light crashed down from the sky, like an unparalleled sword beam, sweeping across hundreds of feet. It struck Chi Yanli, causing him to tremble violently, his broken feathers flying everywhere, and he fell backward into the Heavenly Throne Secret Realm on the spot!

"Little Lord--"

In that miniature secret realm, a figure rushed forward to block Chi Yanli's rolling body.

"Xia Donghai actually dares to do this?!" The figure was both angry and anxious, and he actually unleashed a burst of energy, about to rush towards the Heavenly Ladder to fight Feng Xia to the death.

"Luo'er, calm down."

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Chi Yanli's wings stopped her, and at the same time, a deep voice came: "This is part of the deal."

The figure's eyes widened: "A...transaction? Young Master, you're not selling yourself, are you...?"

"He gave me the Immortal-Breaking Talisman, and I..."

Chi Yanli shook his head, using his magic to block the view of others: "First, I'll pretend to lose to him once, and at the same time, I'll grant him another request..."

"Fellow Daoist Feng, you just gave him the Immortal-Breaking Talisman like that?"

On the Heavenly Ladder, Mo Lianque's voice echoed in Feng Xia's mind, filled with confusion and anxiety: "That's a Broken Immortal Talisman! Even if you keep it for yourself, it's still better than..."

"I still have a dozen or so."

Feng Xia's casual remark silenced Mo Lianque. He was stunned for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a question: "Then what request did you make to Chi Yanli, Fellow Daoist Feng?"

"It's a very simple request."

Feng Xia grinned, his expression calm and composed, and said, "I had him and the Holy Son gang up on me, and then... shattered my core."

……

Chapter 0272

"What--"

Upon hearing Feng Xia's reply, Mo Lianque almost involuntarily exclaimed in shock: "Master Feng, have you gone mad? The Yuan Dan is the lifeblood of those with supernatural powers. If it is forcibly broken by external forces, at best one's cultivation will regress, and at worst one will die on the spot!"

Moreover, the existence of Feng Xia, a powerful human, is absolutely indispensable for the upcoming plan to transform the world and everything that needs to be implemented!

Therefore, the moment he heard Feng Xia utter those words, Mo Lian Que had never been as nervous as he was now.

Brother!

I'll call you elder brother now, okay?

You absolutely mustn't let us down at such a crucial moment!

"Is that so?" Feng Xia stroked his chin, uttering an ambiguous question.

"Naturally!"

Mo Lianque was speechless, but still earnestly advised, "Although we have encountered many powerful demons at the Yuan Dan realm along the way, this is due to the opening of the Demon Emperor's Tomb. Within the entire Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, powerful demons at the Yuan Dan realm are still extremely rare! As everyone knows, it is difficult to achieve the Yuan Dan realm, and once the Yuan Dan is shattered, returning to the Yuan Dan realm is extremely difficult..."

As the emperor continued speaking, he could no longer continue.

It wasn't until this moment that he belatedly realized what had happened...

Mom!

The person in front of me has gone through the Yuan Dan realm at least ten times, okay?

However, because Feng Xia had been quite well-behaved lately and hadn't been showing off his self-severing cultivation level at every turn, Mo Lian Que had almost forgotten about it—

The barriers and constraints of ordinary Yuan Dan realm cultivators seem to be non-existent to the Wind Sect Master of Qianqiu Valley!

"However, with a formidable enemy at hand, and the Holy Son arriving at any moment, whether Chi Yanli is trustworthy remains uncertain. While the Soul Blood Oath is insidious, it is ultimately a passive oath. The Chiwu Clan of Tanggu, as a top clan in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, may not be without ways to circumvent the oath! Sect Leader Feng, I hope you will reconsider this matter..."

Mo Lianque continued to persuade him, undeterred.

He didn't notice that below the ladder to heaven, Feng Xia suddenly stretched out a hand and gently reached forward, as if picking something up from the ground.

Immediately, a smile appeared on Feng Xia's face: "Your Majesty, what if... I could control his oath mark?"

His gaze lowered slightly, as if it were falling on the attribute light orb he had just absorbed in his palm.

【Fragmented Soul Blood Oath Mark】×1.

Originally, if things hadn't gone smoothly, Feng Xia would have wanted to beat up Chi Yanli a few more times. However, even he didn't expect that the attribute ability would be so powerful this time!

When the siege of Qianqiu Valley broke out, Feng Xia had taken a tattered slave contract from the Tianjue Sect Master, thus learning the identity of the traitor in advance.

Therefore, he intends to repeat the same trick this time.

The only unexpected thing was that the shipment was successfully delivered after only one attempt!

—You should know that he was prepared for repeated setbacks.

"Wait, judging from the usual behavior of attribute-based abilities, they'll drop damaged items instead of complete ones, poor-quality items instead of good ones, and if there are too many drops, they'll reduce the drop rate..."

Feng Xia suddenly realized something: "Could it be that this Soul Blood Oath mark is one of the worst drops from Chi Yanli's humanoid pool?"

In other words, it wasn't a stroke of luck for him to sell everything in one go.

Instead, it's because his character is as bad as ever, and he hasn't produced anything good!

"This is truly a story that makes you want to be on top..."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Feng Xia continued seriously, "Furthermore, there was a reason why I asked Chi Yanli to help the Holy Son shatter my Yuan Dan."

Mo Lianque almost instinctively wanted to answer, "Do you think the principles that Master Feng taught you are just for fun?"

Based on his understanding of Feng Xia, this guy with the peculiar thought process might actually give such an answer!

"Your Majesty, have you ever considered this question... how should one cultivate at the Yuan Dan realm?"

Just then, Feng Xia suddenly asked a question.

Mo Lianque stared blankly, then subconsciously replied, "Of course, it's about continuously strengthening the Yuan Dan, increasing the magical power it can hold, or trying to integrate rare and precious materials to refine it into a special kind of Yuan Dan..."

His practice of the "Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Technique" also contains corresponding methods and secret techniques.

Mo Lianque could only speak halfway through his sentence before he could stop.

How could this Sect Leader Feng not know those secret techniques?

However, Feng Xia still raised this question!

"Sect Leader Feng, what do you mean..." His Majesty the Emperor seemed to understand something, a hint of surprise and deep shock showing in his eyes as he looked at the figure shrouded in divine light.

"Just like the 'Divine Power Realm Trap' I mentioned before, I suspect that the cultivation method of the Yuan Dan Realm... was also deliberately altered by some dark force."

"This... how is this possible?" Mo Lianque swallowed hard, as if struck by lightning. "Such a thing... it's impossible for anyone to do, right? I've heard that even in the ancient times when the human race was at its peak, the cultivation method for the Yuan Dan realm was the same as it is now..."

"Who would know about such a thing?"

Feng Xia shook his head noncommittally.

What Mo Lianque said was indeed true.

Even in the cultivation techniques passed down to him by Ancestor Chenhai, the chapters about the Yuan Dan realm are quite rare, which suggests that if there really is a mastermind behind the scenes, it is likely to be even older than the era in which Ancestor Chenhai was active!

but……

Having pondered this far, Feng Xia's gaze remained calm and serene as she continued, word by word:

"And now, I may have found the true path of spiritual practice."

This occurred right after the battle with the stone giant from the ancestral land of the Stone Clan.

He pondered...

Perhaps this is how one can cultivate at the Yuan Dan realm.

……

at the same time.

The outermost edge of the first level of the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum.

Here, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely thin. Even compared to the outside world, or even compared to Xuanwu Kingdom, the spiritual energy environment of this region can be described as extremely barren.

It can be said that this is a border area that no one entering the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum would ever approach.

However, on this very day, a divine light suddenly shot into the sky from the border region. It was so dazzling and radiant that it illuminated the heavens and the earth, and it was filled with a kind of natural tremor. Wherever it passed, many living beings involuntarily submitted!

Amidst the divine light, a dignified young man strode through the air, his expression solemn, heading straight towards the central sacred mountain.

"Everyone."

The youth's voice resounded throughout heaven and earth: "I am the Holy Son Ying Daoyi! Follow me in battle, let us jointly punish the traitor Xia Donghai, ascend the Heavenly Ladder, and reach the Ninth Heaven—"
