I picked up the scattered attributes

After all, the demon race is more focused on their own power and the strength of their bloodline, and they generally don't value external things like formations.

The array masters of the Demon God Palace are the result of years of accumulated experience.

In other places, even under the command of the Demon King, there might not be a single array master.

“I know those guys’ array skills very well. They can handle routine repairs without any problem, but you’re overestimating them if you think they can repair the teleportation array in the underground vault.”

Yu Qianjue shook his head and sighed.

As for the grand formations of the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum and the Demon God Palace, they were not set up recently, but were crafted in the ancient Dark Ages by the strongest formation masters of that era.

The Dark Ages were merely the aftershocks of the Soaring Era, a lingering echo of resentment.

The era of soaring clouds, how glorious it was!

"It's fine, as long as he's a formation master, it's all the same anyway."

Feng Xia looked delighted and bowed to Yu Qianjue: "From now on, I will have to ask for your guidance, fellow Daoist."

"Of course, of course, we'll go along with whatever the host says."

Yu Qianjue responded with a similar response, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and then he realized—damn it, I'm clearly the master of the Demon God Palace, okay?!

You're a usurper, what are you pretending to be the master of this place?

Pooh!

After taking one last look in the direction of Thousand Autumn Valley, Feng Xia took a deep breath, opened a spatial passage with the Heavenly Dragon Eight-Tone Bell, grabbed the trembling guardian with one hand, and returned to the Demon God Palace with Yu Qianjue.

……

Yu Qianjue's arrival did not attract too much attention.

Feng Xia simply gathered his companions together, introduced them to the Demon Emperor (former), and then had them return to their places.

This left Yu Qianjue somewhat frustrated.

It's one thing if Feng Xia isn't shocked or in awe of him, but why do all these people seem so used to him?

He is the ruler of the Demon Emperor Kingdom!

Okay... although it's from the previous generation now.

At the same time, Yu Qianjue also met his successor: a rather delicate and cute little girl.

He almost thought he was hallucinating, and finally understood why Feng Xia had said he was the Demon Emperor's guardian—

The guy who became the current ruler of the Demon Emperor Kingdom was neither a powerful and mighty demon nor a handsome and dashing winged god like him, but a rather timid and shy little girl!

How will he ever be able to face people again?

Oh, he's no longer the ruler of the Demon Emperor Kingdom, so he doesn't need to go out and meet people every day anymore. Okay, then it's alright.

Yu Qianjue was quite open-minded about this.

"Are these all the array masters?"

A few days later, Feng Xia looked at the several demonic beasts in front of him and let out a long breath.

After the War of the Eight Kings, they took over the Demon God Palace. Before that, many of the demon beasts in the Demon God Palace had already been frightened and fled.

Those who remained were mostly minor demons with relatively low cultivation levels.

As for the array masters in front of him, Feng Xia didn't see a single one of them, clearly having already fled when things got wrong.

However, Feng Xia did find a familiar target inside—a rather large Xuan Turtle. Sensing Feng Xia's gaze, it almost instinctively shrank its neck.

"Xuan Qinghe?"

Feng Xia recognized the identity of this black tortoise.

Back when they were at the bottom of the Heavenly Ladder, the other party had repeatedly cosplayed as the mysterious old senior, speaking in an old-fashioned manner. However, in his perception, Xuan Qinghe's life force was quite young, and his age was definitely not that old.

"Demon Emperor... no! Retired Emperor!"

Upon hearing Feng Xia call his name, Xuan Qinghe immediately trembled before cautiously replying:

"It's down."

"You also know about formations?"

"Is such that."

Xuan Qinghe continued cautiously, "Although I am not an expert in formations, my clan has a vast collection of texts, and even the documents related to formations are all imprinted in my mind..."

Feng Xia understood immediately.

Turns out he's a tool... oh no, a tool turtle!

……

Chapter 0472

Xuan Qinghe was not proficient in the art of formations.

However, due to the special nature of the Xuan Turtle Clan, they possess countless ancient books, many of which are rare and unique editions. Among these are books and documents on formations.

As the current successor of the Yuanqingjiang Xuan Turtle clan, even though he was not proficient in formations, all the knowledge and records about formations existed in Xuan Qinghe's mind.

In other words, he is actually a human-shaped... turtle-shaped encyclopedia!

"No wonder I called you over."

Feng Xia nodded in sudden realization.

Xuan Qinghe smiled bitterly, enduring Feng Xia's gaze, and dared not utter a single word more: "That's exactly right."

His heart was filled with boundless emotions.

Back when they were at the foot of the central sacred mountain, Feng Xia's identity had not yet been exposed. In his eyes, he was just a young demon with exceptional talent and astonishing strength.

Who would have thought that so little time had passed?

Feng Xia defeated the combined forces of the Eight Kings, shocking the world in one battle. He then entered the Demon God Palace and directly became the guardian of the current Demon Emperor!

That's true, but after returning to the bottom of the Yuanqing River and analyzing the situation with their clansmen, the Xuan Turtle clan unanimously concluded that...

The newly appointed Demon Emperor is nothing more than a puppet.

The true mastermind is the hidden demon king Xingji, also known as Feng Xia.

This speculation was largely confirmed after they were summoned by Yu Qianjue and arrived at the Demon God Palace.

Even the former Demon Emperor Yu Qianjue treated Feng Xia with courtesy and as an equal...

Feng Xia's true identity has long been self-evident!

"Fellow Daoist Feng, what do you intend to do?"

Yu Qianjue glanced at the few demons, then looked at Feng Xia and asked.

He had a vague suspicion that Feng Xia was going to use the same trick again, the same one from the Moonlight Tree.

But in the next moment, Feng Xia suddenly raised his hand, and a dreamlike light burst forth from his palm. One after another, shadowy figures broke through the air from the Demon God Palace, as if drawn by some inexplicable force, and fell one by one into Feng Xia's palm.

"What is this?"

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

With a series of crisp snapping sounds, the shadows fell from Feng Xia's palms again, scattered like stars in front of them, forming a neat network.

"Gentlemen, this is called Go."

Feng Xia smiled slightly and spoke.

Including Yu Qianjue, all the demons perked up.

Feng Xia's smile grew even brighter: "As for the rules, please allow me to explain them in detail."

He didn't really understand much about the rules of Go.

Ultimately, there are very few people who truly understand Go. As far as Feng Xia was concerned, his only understanding of Go was that "if you surround it, you can capture it."

However, this is not a big problem.

After all, there is no one else in the world who knows how to play Go.

Therefore, Feng Xia can confidently say: No one understands Go better than me!

If you encounter something he doesn't understand, then just rely on love... oh no, just rely on bluffing and nonsense to get through it.

"Go, is this a completely new game of chess?"

Yu Qianjue's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.

Listening to Feng Xia's description, he felt that Go, which seemed simple, contained profound truths and was almost divine, with skill approaching the Tao!

"Could it be that this kind of Go... is derived from Fellow Daoist Feng's understanding of the Great Dao?"

The moment Yu Qianjue thought of this, he couldn't help but be moved.

If this speculation is true, it means that Feng Xia may seem to be teaching chess skills, but in reality, he is passing on the great Dao in a disguised way!

A teacher is one who imparts knowledge, teaches skills, and resolves doubts.

“Array masters have no status among the demon race. As the guardian of the current Demon Emperor, his status is completely different from these people, yet he is still willing to impart all his knowledge. Such magnanimity, such spirit…”

Yu Qianjue subconsciously shook his head, secretly comparing the options in his mind, and then came to a sad conclusion:
