I picked up the scattered attributes

This seal is named—

The wrath of all beings!

From a distance, the Dharma Seal resembles a lotus, with each petal composed of flames. Even a single wisp contains earth-shattering power.

"No...how could you...possibly—"

Boom——

Without giving the other party any chance, Ying Daoyi in the dream was engulfed by flames.

"It's over. Even if it's just in a dream, let it all end here—"

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Lu Tiancheng slowly opened his eyes. Even with his cultivation at the Divine Realm, he had been nearly blinded by the divine light for a moment, and it took him a long time to regain some of his vision.

"The Imperial Advisor—"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but call out.

However, he did not see the Imperial Advisor. Instead, he heard a long sigh, barely audible, that said, "Your Majesty, if we meet again in the future, I, Feng, am still willing to be your Imperial Advisor."

His Majesty the Emperor, with a majestic expression, looked around. The Lingyun Imperial Palace had long since been reduced to ruins, but after that attack, the terrifying black hand had also vanished without a trace.

A few wisps of fire still burned, releasing strange substances after incinerating the giant black hand, nourishing the surrounding world that was on the verge of collapse.

Some of the wounds fell into the bodies of the injured, causing their wounds to heal rapidly; in the blink of an eye, they were almost fully recovered.

A strange light shone from the ruins, and a thin figure struggled to get there from afar. The first one to arrive was none other than the youngest prince, the sixteenth prince.

"Father, it's so good to know you're alright!"

The boy's eyes were bright and sparkling.

Dreamland - Completed successfully.

Chapter 0322

"it is finally over……"

When he felt a solid sensation under his feet again, Feng Xia slowly opened his eyes. He looked around and for a moment felt as if he had been reborn.

Inside the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum, the sunlight overhead appeared somewhat illusory. However, Feng Xia still subconsciously squinted. The intense impact of the interplay between dreams and reality made it difficult for him to distinguish between the two.

"It's finally over."

After a short while, Feng Xia sighed again, finally shaking off that dazed feeling.

He grinned, and a smile gradually spread across his face.

Not far in front of him, Chi Yanli of the Chiwu clan had not gone far. Hearing Feng Xia's whisper, his heart pounded wildly.

"He said it's over, but what's over?"

"I saw him standing still for several days, so I figured he must be hiding something. That's why I gave up on climbing the Heavenly Ladder to the top and stayed behind to try and unravel the mystery of this place..."

"He just said it's finally over. Could it be that he has already mastered the secrets of the Heavenly Ladder?!"

A rather chilling thought suddenly popped into Chi Yanli's mind.

He instinctively wanted to deny the guess, after all, over the long years, there had been many predecessors and sages who had stepped onto the ladder to heaven, but none of them had been able to decipher the secret.

Feng Xia just stood there for a few days, how could he possibly crack the secret?

"Perhaps I'm overthinking things. What Xia Donghai meant wasn't that the mysteries of the Heavenly Ladder had been figured out, but rather that the means he possessed to counter the divine light of the Heavenly Ladder had finally been completely exhausted."

Chi Yanli's expression changed several times, and he quickly came up with a more reasonable explanation.

What he didn't know was...

The moment Feng Xia woke up, the Chaos Jade Talisman in his hand had indeed shattered silently, turning into specks of spiritual light and dissipating into nothingness!

That feeling was as if I had completed my mission and finally returned to the light and rain, to the dust and earth.

However, the divine light of the ladder to heaven did not put any pressure on him.

"Red Flame Departure?"

Just then, this descendant of the Chiwu clan heard Feng Xia's voice.

He subconsciously turned his head and his eyes met those of the young man.

The next second, Chi Yanli felt a chill run down his spine.

"You...what?!"

He could clearly see that Feng Xia's eyes were filled with endless vicissitudes, as if they came from the distant past, vast and unfathomable. The aura emanating from his body was so strong that even a tiny wisp of it made him tremble with fear. If it weren't for the protective treasure he had, he might have been crushed to death by that aura in an instant!

However, in the blink of an eye, Feng Xia's aura began to weaken.

It's like falling from a vast cloud, with a long, empty bridge behind your head shattering, followed by the annihilation of a majestic deity, until finally, only a hazy, indistinct picture remains.

Then, the painting disappeared, leaving only a golden elixir floating behind Feng Xia.

Even that shimmering golden luster was fading, as if its cultivation level had dropped, gradually becoming no different from an ordinary Yuan Dan.

Chi Yanli was completely baffled as to why this change had occurred, having no idea why.

Just then, he heard Feng Xia mutter to himself:

"Ah, I almost forgot that when I was climbing the Heavenly Ladder, my cultivation had already broken through to the ninth level of the Yuan Dan realm, achieving an immortal golden core. It seems I concealed it a little too much..."

Feng Xia stroked his chin, a strange smile on his face. Upon realizing this, he didn't immediately restore the golden core, but instead left it in this state:

"That's not bad. Maybe others will see it and think that the cultivation I displayed before was purely due to a secret technique. Some of the more foolish ones might even think that I was seriously injured on the Heavenly Ladder, causing my cultivation to regress and my strength to never be the same again..."

"..." Chi Yanli was completely dumbfounded.

Listen to what you're saying. Does it mean he doesn't exist at all?

However, he also had to admit that if he hadn't witnessed the entire process of change and heard Feng Xia's words, he would most likely have had the same thoughts if he had met him at any other time!

Thinking about it this way, Chi Yanli felt extremely fortunate. Before this, his relationship with Feng Xia was quite good, and they had even had a pleasant collaboration once.

At the very least, the two sides are not enemies.

"On another note, what exactly is his cultivation level now?" Chi Yanli wondered again.

Judging from the Yuan Dan realm aura emanating from Feng Xia, and the occasional fluctuations, it was as if he had just broken through to the Yuan Dan realm and his cultivation was not yet stable!

Pooh!

fake!

It's all fake!

Anyone who believes in Feng Xia's displayed cultivation level is absolutely the biggest idiot in the world. They should all be killed and reincarnated to start over. Basically, no one would be wronged!

Chi Yanli took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions before transmitting his voice to Feng Xia: "Fellow Daoist Xia Donghai, what you just said about the end..."

"The end I'm referring to is naturally the end of the Heavenly Ladder Trial."

"The Heavenly Ladder Trial...is over?"

Chi Yanli's mind suddenly jolted.

After Feng Xia gave a nonchalant reply, he fully activated his soul power and poured it into the ancient steps beneath his feet. Instantly, his consciousness traversed multiple spaces and arrived in a dreamlike garden.

A clear pond, its surface undisturbed, is surrounded by magnificent buildings, radiating divine light, like a palace inhabited by gods.

Every now and then, a few carp leap out of the pond, splashing water droplets in the sunlight.

A closer look reveals that this garden is nestled in a valley, a place of exceptional natural beauty and unique topography. The primordial energy of heaven and earth seems to condense into mist, nourishing the exotic flowers and plants within. Anyone who visits cannot help but exclaim in praise:

What a paradise on earth!

"I wonder if it would taste good as a stir-fry... Oh well, it's not a real rare treasure anyway, so even if I ate it, it wouldn't increase my cultivation level."

Feng Xia shook his head listlessly, his gaze narrowing as he looked at the figure deep within the garden.

At this moment, the other party also noticed Feng Xia. She turned around, her demeanor like that of a fairy descended to earth, and her eyes fell on Feng Xia.

She was a woman in a white dress with a graceful figure and long hair tied up at the back of her head with a hairpin. When she looked at Feng Xia, her eyes couldn't help but show surprise and doubt.

Upon seeing the woman's true face, Feng Xia couldn't help but realize:

“So… it’s you.”

Upon hearing Feng Xia's words, the woman remained silent for a few seconds. Then, right in front of Feng Xia, she suddenly lay down with a thud, rolled around a few times in the flowerbed, and closed her eyes.

"As expected... I'm still not fully awake."

……

Chapter 0323

"..."

Faced with the woman who suddenly plopped down on the ground and buried her face in the flowers, Feng Xia felt an unusual and intense sense of speechlessness.

Please, we've known each other for a long time, and this is how you react when old friends meet?

After a three-breath silence, Feng Xia suddenly raised his foot and kicked it with a thud.

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts—"
