I picked up the scattered attributes

Mingyoujun instinctively wanted to refuse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a sharp pain spread throughout his body, as if countless thorns were covering him, piercing his flesh and choking him to refuse.

Nine Lotus Heavenly Heart Prison.

My heart is the heart of Heaven, and my will is the will of Heaven!

For those who have never witnessed the power of the Dao Heart, unless the difference in cultivation level is too great, the Nine Lotus Heavenly Heart Prison is practically an invincible weapon.

Sorry, you're more than one version behind!

“My master is Lu Hua, the third prince of Lingyun Kingdom. However, I have heard my master mention that he is actually a secret elder of Xuantian Sect.”

At this moment, Mingyoujun could no longer bear the pain and knelt down in the wind once again.

The pain in one's heart is worse than being torn to pieces!

Even with powerful cultivation, if one's Dao heart is not firm, it is almost impossible to endure such pain.

"A hidden elder of the Xuantian Sect?"

Feng Xia suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

The term "Secret Elder" can be interpreted in a completely different way, and it's essentially... a spy!

"I understand." After a short while, Feng Xia calmly acknowledged, quickly making a judgment in his mind, "So the Third Prince Lu Hua is a member of the Star Moon Demon Sect."

"What?" Mingyoujun was dumbfounded.

"Huh? Why?!"

The woman standing nearby couldn't help but exclaim, "He clearly said Xuan Tian Sect just now!"

"If the Third Prince were truly a member of the Xuantian Sect, he should have kept this a secret and not told anyone. Yet, he specifically mentioned it to you..."

Feng Xia smiled calmly and said, "No matter where he comes from, he can't possibly be from the Xuan Tian Sect."

"Then why is it the Star Moon Demon Sect?" the woman couldn't help but ask.

Her personality was clearly somewhat carefree; in this situation, curiosity actually outweighed fear, and she even had the leisure to inquire whether what Mingyoujun said was true or false.

The master isn't from the Xuantian Sect?

Upon hearing Feng Xia's analysis, Ming Youjun was struck dumb.

He wanted to refute Feng Xia on the spot, but the more he thought about it, the more horrified he became to discover that... what the other party said was absolutely right!

The identity of such a secretive elder should be kept hidden until death, so how could it be easily revealed?

"Why...why wasn't I aware of this before? Logically speaking, I should have noticed this problem..."

Mingyoujun was momentarily lost in thought.

He was, after all, the head of Mingkong Academy, a powerful expert at the peak of the True Spirit Realm. Yet, he only noticed the clues now, despite the fact that the flaw was so simple and obvious!

Almost instantly, a chilling name flashed into my mind:

"It's...it's the Star Moon Demon Sect's...Illusory Heaven Bewitching Cloud Ghost Technique!"

Only the infamous secret technique of the Star Moon Demon Sect possesses the power to make even a peak True Spirit Realm expert lose their mind and their ability to make accurate judgments!

"So the Star Moon Demonic Sect has such a secret technique... That saves me the trouble of framing them again."

Upon hearing this name, Feng Xia subtly retracted the second half of his statement.

Yes, you're right, you're absolutely right.jpg

"What task did that Third Prince assign you?"

After a moment of silence, Feng Xia spoke up again and asked.

This is what he cares about most.

"The task the Third Prince gave me..." Ming Youjun, who was already terrified, answered honestly without thinking, "The Third Prince gave me many cultivation techniques he had collected, ranging from the Opening Wheel Realm to the Yuan Dan Realm, and even some from the Dharma Aspect Realm and the True Spirit Realm. He asked me to send these techniques to the Ming Kong Academy, saying that he hoped to broaden the people's knowledge and make them available to students at a very low cost."

"As expected of the Third Prince."

Before Feng Xia could think it through, she heard the woman beside her exclaim, "There's a reason why people call the Third Prince the conscience of the royal family."

As she spoke, she suddenly frowned: "Could such a benevolent person be a spy for the Star Moon Demon Sect?"

"What a load of rubbish about the conscience of royalty."

Feng Xia couldn't help but sneer coldly: "You think all his techniques are really good stuff?"

If he's not mistaken...

During this period of time, he saw many flaws in the techniques of various supernatural beings in Lingyun Kingdom, most of which were techniques that had been passed down from Mingkong Academy!

As one of the three major universities in Lingyun Kingdom, the number of students who enter Mingkong Academy to study and pursue the Dao each year, and the number of students who graduate from Mingkong Academy, is an absolutely terrifying astronomical figure.

How many of these people learned techniques with flaws?

How many years did this situation last?

It is likely that even Lord Mingyou himself has no way of knowing this.

"It seems even Emperor Lingyun didn't notice the problems with these cultivation techniques," Feng Xia pondered to himself. "No, it's also possible that he's too busy, focused on breaking through to the Divine Realm, and simply hasn't had time to pay attention to them..."

For those top-tier supernatural beings, a seclusion lasting for decades or even centuries is not a rare occurrence.

For those in seclusion, they may not even feel the passage of time, while the outside world has already undergone tremendous changes, with the sea turning into mulberry fields!

"That explains why Emperor Lingyun rarely appears..."

In an instant, Feng Xia felt the fog in her heart dissipating.

The truth about the Dreamland is gradually being revealed, with only the tip of the iceberg showing.

"This...this is impossible, right?"

Before Mingyoujun could speak, the woman with green hair spoke first: "Over the years, it's impossible that no one has noticed the problem!"

"Perhaps it's not that no one discovered it, it's just that the people who discovered it are no longer around."

Feng Xia suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Do you think I suddenly 'cheated' back then, and even got caught on the spot, resulting in severe injuries and being in a coma for many years?"

"What did you say--"

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately covered her face and turned pale.

……

Chapter 0307

At first, Feng Xia didn't think of this.

The Seventh Prince had carried the burden of infamy for many years. He only glanced at those shameful memories and did not truly dwell on them, nor did he savor the unique life he had experienced.

But at this moment, a part of the Seventh Prince's memories were still slightly touched.

Immediately afterwards, more unpleasant memories of that competition flooded his mind like a tide.

"……really."

After a long silence, Feng Xia solemnly uttered two words.

In the Seventh Prince's memory, the so-called cheating was that his magical power suddenly lost control, as if it were being driven by another person. At the same time, he also had an extremely ordinary secret treasure that suddenly unleashed earth-shattering power!

The competition at that time stipulated the level of magical artifacts that could be used, and it also underwent rigorous checks to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition.

After all, both the Xuantian Sect and the Lingyun Kingdom have many stronger beings with profound foundations. As long as they are willing to pay the price, even a small Opening Wheel Realm cultivator can be equipped with a full set of Divine Bridge Realm treasures!

As an exchange competition between the Xuantian Sect and the Lingyun Kingdom, intended to promote communication and strengthen relations, it would lose its original meaning if it resorted to any means necessary.

As it turned out, even the Seventh Prince hadn't anticipated this...

The protective mirror on his body, which was originally just an ordinary Dharma Aspect Realm treasure, suddenly unleashed power comparable to the peak of the True Spirit Realm!

To outsiders, this scene undoubtedly became irrefutable evidence that he had cheated by bringing in high-level magical artifacts and even attempted to kill his opponent.

That is why Cai Pan of Xuantian Sect was so furious.

It was just a friendly exchange match, yet you wanted to kill their Xuantian Sect disciples. Do you really think the Xuantian Sect has no one left?

It was after that incident that relations between the two forces deteriorated rapidly.

Even today, although the two sides are not exactly hostile, they have basically stopped interacting with each other, and occasionally small-scale conflicts even break out.

It can be said that the source of the deterioration in the relationship between the two forces was that competition back then.

And all the suffering the Seventh Prince experienced stemmed from this.

"You...didn't cheat back then?"

The green-haired woman gaped in disbelief: "This...this can't be, right?"

If she could move, Feng Xia would definitely be glaring at her right now: "What do you mean 'impossible'? Do you know who the Xuan Tian Sect member who competed against me was? That's my wife's older brother, my brother-in-law! What on earth do you think got into me, that I'd rather force myself to cheat in that kind of situation than kill my own brother-in-law?"

The woman with green hair suddenly fell silent, stammering.

Mingyoujun, who was standing to the side, was equally dumbfounded.

The Seventh Prince has been in a coma for over twenty years. The relationship between the Xuantian Sect and the Lingyun Kingdom has plummeted to a freezing point in recent years. In addition, the royal family has suppressed the matter as a scandal, so almost no one has heard the inside story!

At this moment, Feng Xia brought up the Seventh Prince's past, which reminded him of many things. The more he thought about it, the more horrified he felt!

"This...this, this, this..."

"Besides this matter, what else did the Third Prince instruct you on?"
