I picked up the scattered attributes

Chi Yanli was immediately terrified.

He looked around and quickly realized that, apart from Zhu Youniang, Qinglin and a few others, he was the only outsider still there at this moment!

It's absolutely impossible for me to betray my own people.

Therefore, there is only one answer left.

"He...he...he's trying to trick me again?"

"I don't think I've offended him!"

"Look, Xia Donghai has woken up!"

At the crucial moment, at the very top of the Heavenly Ladder, atop the Central Divine Mountain, a powerful demon noticed this place and exclaimed in a low voice, "This guy is still at the foot of the mountain. Will he really make it to the top of the Central Divine Mountain in time?"

The present era can be described as an unprecedented great age.

The number of outstanding talents emerging far exceeds that of any previous opening of the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

Therefore, although many trial participants exhausted their jade talismans and were repelled by the divine light of the Heavenly Ladder during their ascent, many others chose other paths. As a result, a large number of demonic beasts still gathered on the mountaintop at this time.

Moreover, each and every one of them can be considered a strong person!

"Although there are eighteen other paths on the central sacred mountain that can also lead to the summit and thus into the second level of the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum..."

However, the problem lies in...

There is less than a day left before the first level of the Demon Emperor's Tomb closes!

"Although the longer you wait on the ladder to heaven, the more amazing the rewards are, you also need to make certain trade-offs."

At the summit of the central sacred mountain, before an ancient stone gate, Xuan Qinghe, a descendant of the Xuan Turtle clan with a massive physique, gazed into the distance and then shook his head regretfully: "What a pity. A prodigy of his generation enjoyed immense glory, but in the end, he couldn't even enter the second level."

His tone was particularly wistful.

"This is the consequence of insatiable greed!"

Not far away, a white tiger licking its fur raised its head, and upon hearing this, it couldn't help but sneer, looking down at Feng Xia below and saying, "I've seen far too many of these kinds of guys, and very few of them end up well."

Among the many demonic beasts present, some felt regret, while others gloated.

Feng Xia's previous strong performance did earn him the respect of some demon beasts, but the number of those he "offended" was even more astonishing!

After all, one side is Xia Donghai, whose origins are unknown, while the other side is the Holy Son supported by the Demon God Palace!

"Look, that thing looks like it's starting to move!"

Someone muttered something, and then almost everyone saw at the same time the figure at the foot of the mountain slowly take a step forward, and then…

Disappeared.

Swah——

He's gone!

"This guy just disappeared? Has anyone seen where he went?"

Countless monsters were astonished and terrified.

How could such a living person just vanish in full view of everyone?

Are they seeing ghosts?

"Wow, there are quite a lot of people here?"

The next instant, a soft laugh rang in the ears of all the demons.

……

Chapter 0326

In that instant, no one could see what actually happened.

Even the powerful demons atop the mountain, including Xuan Qinghe and the White Tiger Clan's top experts, couldn't see clearly when that figure disappeared.

same……

The demons were completely unaware that the other party had ascended the central sacred mountain and appeared beside them in an instant!

Several breaths passed before Feng Xia's voice rang out, and a demon beast let out a cry of alarm, stumbling backward, causing an uproar among all the creatures present.

"What? When did this guy get up here?"

"That's too fast! How could it be so fast?"

"Even if he could ignore the pressure of the Heavenly Ladder, there are other restrictions on the central sacred mountain. How did he appear before us in an instant?"

The figure in the blue robe that appeared before them at this moment was none other than Xia Donghai.

Xuan Qinghe stared wide-eyed, his neck stretched more than twice as long as usual. Even with his keen eyesight and experience, he was momentarily stunned.

"What method did he use? Was it a teleportation technique? Or a spatial magic? No... I couldn't figure it out at all!"

The Xuan Turtle clan at the bottom of the Yuanqing River is known for its long lifespan and peaceful nature, and is therefore famous for its extensive knowledge, erudition, and strong memory.

As the current successor of the Xuan Turtle Clan, Xuan Qinghe is one of the best among them!

However, he still couldn't see through Feng Xia's methods. The other party's appearance was as if it had been embedded into their field of vision without pause or process, and they couldn't detect the slightest clue!

"Even I couldn't see through it..."

Xuan Qinghe involuntarily gasped.

Just then, Feng Xia, with his hands behind his back, looked at the demons and chuckled, "It's quite lively on this mountaintop, isn't it? So even those fellow cultivators who didn't climb the Heavenly Ladder have gained a lot; their strength must have improved considerably..."

For no apparent reason, Xuan Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

The descendant of the White Tiger Clan grinned, revealing a set of sharp teeth, his eyes flashing with ferocity: "Xia, since you know that times have changed, you should understand that ascending the ladder to heaven... ascending to heaven in one step is not just an empty phrase!"

"At the foot of the mountain, you could control everything and suppress everyone, but now... you can't do that anymore!"

For some reason, this white tiger was full of hostility towards Feng Xia.

Roar--

He let out a deep roar, opened his mouth and spat out a demon core. Layer upon layer of malevolent energy swept out like a storm, almost forming a terrifying white tiger phantom behind his head. It leaped down from the mountain peak, exuding a chilling and fierce aura!

"Hiss... What is that thing? Wang Jue of the White Tiger Clan... He's reached the Dharma Aspect Realm?"

"Could it be that we have witnessed the birth of a Dharma Aspect Realm expert?!"

The many demonic beasts were in an uproar.

The white tiger phantom almost immediately reminded them of... the Great Dao Dharma Image!

It's important to understand that even if one successfully ascends the central sacred mountain via the Heavenly Ladder, the rewards will vary depending on individual talents.

Could it be that the White Tiger Clan's King Jue's talent is truly astonishingly strong, directly surpassing the Yuan Dan realm on the Heavenly Ladder, cultivating his own Great Dao Dharma Form, leaping above the Demon King realm, and becoming an existence on par with the King of the Kingdom?

"No, that is not the true form of the Great Dao."

It was at this moment that Xuan Qinghe recovered from his shock. He stared at it for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "Look carefully, that is not Wang Jue's Great Dao Dharma Image, but a rare treasure of the White Tiger Clan. It is imprinted with the image of a near-god ancestor. As long as the bloodline is pure enough, one can receive the blessing of this scroll and greatly enhance one's combat power!"

The demons examined the area carefully once more and finally discovered something unusual.

The phantom image behind the White Tiger Clan King Jue's head was actually an unfolded scroll painting, hidden within a dense aura of malevolence.

As you can see, the scroll is quite tattered, with holes in some places, clearly showing that it has suffered some damage over the long years.

The painting merged with Wang Jue's aura, but it did not belong to him, nor was it the so-called Great Dao Dharma Form.

"Senior, how did you know so much? How did you figure it out?"

Someone exclaimed in admiration to the mysterious old tortoise.

If Xuan Qinghe hadn't pointed this out, they would never have discovered this. Recalling what happened at the foot of the mountain, the old tortoise seemed to know many secrets as well.

"Hehehe, read more and learn more."

Xuan Qinghe answered calmly, but another thought surfaced in his mind: "Senior? Do I really look old? I've only just come of age..."

"Even if it's not a true Dharma form, it's enough to suppress you."

Hearing all the discussions of the surrounding demons, Wang Jue's expression remained unchanged. Looking down at Feng Xia, he said indifferently, "Xia Donghai, you wasted your chance to ascend the Heavenly Ladder! Falling into this predicament is entirely your own fault."

Feng Xia smiled faintly and said leisurely, "Oh? I didn't realize my situation was so difficult. Fellow Daoist Bai... could you enlighten me a little?"

"My surname is Wang, not Bai."

Wang Jue's expression darkened slightly, and he raised his paw to point towards the foot of the mountain: "These guys, they're all your Daoist partners, right?"

The white tiger refers to Zhu Youniang, Qinglin, Bai Xiao and their group. At this moment, Feng Xia has already arrived at the top of the mountain, while they are still at the foot of the mountain.

"so what?"

Feng Xia didn't bother to correct him, and instead continued to ask with a smile.

"So in the end, you abandoned your Daoist companions, betrayed their trust in you, and climbed to the summit alone. Let me ask you..."

Wang Jue stepped forward, his roar shaking the heavens, and shouted fiercely, "You stand here watching them, don't you feel any remorse?!"

"So that's what happened..."

This time, it was Feng Xia who was speechless.

He had assumed that Wang Jue was connected with the Holy Son of the Demon Clan or the Demon God Palace, which was why he had chosen this moment to launch his attack. However, it now seemed that he had been overthinking things.

"Wang Jue was absolutely right!"
