I picked up the scattered attributes

Feng Xia was about to offer her congratulations when she realized something was amiss: "You just said... you only have a 10% chance?!"

Seeing Ji Qixi's long sighs and near-uncontrollable excitement, he thought the old sect leader of Qianqiu Valley was about to perform a feat of breaking through to a higher realm in an instant or achieving the elixir in seven steps...

After all that effort, it turns out there's only a 10% chance of success!

Why are you talking like you're already at the Yuan Dan realm?

"Given the current situation of Qianqiu Valley, even if there is only a 10% chance, or even just a 50% chance, I will do my best to fight for it."

However, the old sect leader Ji Qixi smiled faintly and shook his head, his deep gaze fixed on the horizon.

He didn't continue speaking, but stood there for a moment before hurriedly taking his leave.

"What do we do? Should we stay here?"

Zhu Youniang peeked out from behind Feng Xia, holding a bag of candied fruit in her hand, and mumbled indistinctly, "If you're still staying in Qianqiu Valley, chew this. The dangers you'll encounter next won't be just what you're facing now. Chew this."

For her, who had transformed into a different human form, it didn't matter where she went after leaving the Forsaken Ancient Land—as long as she was given good food, that was enough.

Of course, this is all on the premise of ensuring one's own safety.

Ok……

Feng Xia's safety must also be taken into account, since her initial purpose in leaving the Forsaken Land was to find an opportunity to openly and legitimately get rid of Feng Xia.

She hasn't even made a move yet, so how can anyone else make a move?

As for the grudges and affections between humans, Zhu Youniang didn't care at all.

None of my business.

none of your business.

"As long as safety is guaranteed, it is fine to stay in Qianqiu Valley for the time being."

Feng Xia shook his head in thought: "Anyway, if I insist on leaving, unless that Yuan Dan realm expert from the Xuanwu royal family comes to hunt me down personally, it's basically impossible for him to stop me..."

Rumbling--

The moment he finished speaking, a violent tremor suddenly came from deep within the earth!

The next instant, a magnificent crimson divine light soared into the sky from the distant Canglan Mountain. After that, four more divine lights rose in four directions!

The five divine lights were incredibly thick, soaring and swirling like dragons, intertwining and converging high in the sky, like a giant cage that completely engulfed Thousand Autumn Valley!

"It looks like we're stuck here."

Feng Xia abruptly stopped in his tracks, a wry smile creeping onto his face: "Sure enough, you can't just make promises you can't keep. I'd barely finished saying it, and the enemy was already at my doorstep..."

Moreover, he had already discerned that it was an extremely powerful formation, activated outside the gates of Thousand Autumns Valley, with the sole purpose of…

"Today, Thousand Autumn Valley is destined to become history—"

At the edge of the sky, a menacing voice echoed over Thousand Autumn Valley!

……

Chapter 0040

"This came way too fast..."

Feng Xia was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Although a Yuan Dan realm cultivator is powerful, the capital of Xuanwu Kingdom is not close to Qianqiu Valley. Even if a Yuan Dan realm cultivator travels at full speed, it will still take a considerable amount of time.

From the time he thwarted the other party's plot to the current sect leader of Qianqiu Valley emerging from seclusion, and now to the formation sealing off the world, how much time has passed in total?

"It shouldn't be that Yuan Dan realm cultivator who came in person, otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to use such methods. This formation... should be a method set up by the royal family in Canglan Mountain."

Feng Xia quickly made a preliminary judgment.

According to various sources, the Yuan Dan realm expert of the Xuanwu royal family usually resides in the royal city to oversee the overall situation of the country, and will never leave the royal city unless there are special circumstances.

Once this person sets off, it means the overall situation is already decided!

"Even without that Yuan Dan realm cultivator, the Xuanwu royal family's methods are still quite formidable."

Even though he was almost certain that he and the Xuanwu royal family would eventually become enemies, Feng Xia still felt a pang of emotion: "These magic arrays outside Qianqiu Valley probably weren't set up temporarily. I wonder how long the royal family has been preparing for this day..."

Ultimately, Qianqiu Valley is no longer as prosperous as it once was.

In its heyday, the entire Canglan Mountain Range was just a corner of the Qianqiu Valley. But times have changed, and now the Qianqiu Valley gate only occupies a small part of the Canglan Mountain Range.

Outside the gates of Qianqiu Valley, a series of magic arrays were secretly erected. When activated at a critical moment, they sealed off the heavens and the earth, turning this once-first holy land into a sitting duck!

"The only question is... what is the true purpose of the royal family?"

Hearing Feng Xia's mutterings, Zhu Youniang tilted her head and looked at him. Her dark hair fell from her shoulders, forming a C shape with the softness of the young girl.

"The real purpose? Could there be a false purpose?"

“At least in my opinion, there should be a real objective.” Feng Xia calmly appreciated it for a few seconds before frowning and pondering, “If the royal family’s objective is just those eight small bells of spiritual light, then there is no need for them to set up these magic arrays.”

After all, if Feng Xia hadn't stumbled upon it, that Yuan Dan realm cultivator would have succeeded sooner or later, and at that time, destroying Qianqiu Valley would have been effortless.

I'm not targeting anyone specifically, but everyone in Qianqiu Valley is trash.jpg

Conversely, if it weren't for those eight small bells of spiritual light, what other treasures in the entire Thousand Autumn Valley could possibly warrant such a massive mobilization of the royal family?

Even someone with only an appendix and tonsils could figure out that the massive formation currently causing turmoil outside Thousand Autumn Valley, which is practically locking down heaven and earth, could not have been set up in just a few days, and the price paid must have been extremely staggering.

Surely the Xuanwu royal family wouldn't have gone to such great lengths just to completely eliminate a declining sect?

"However, Qianqiu Valley is already in this state, and even the sect leader is prepared to fight to the death. If there are still any treasures left, they probably won't keep them hidden any longer..."

After a short while, Feng Xia finally gave up thinking.

Moreover, he discovered a sad fact: he was indeed not good at thinking and uncovering the truth by peeling back layers of information.

He prefers to slap the interference to death and let the truth unfold itself... or rather, let the truth naturally surface...

"Let's go see who's here."

Thinking of this, Feng Xia waved his hand and left with Zhu You Niang.

……

The suddenly appearing five-colored array suppressed spiritual energy and sealed off a region of land.

If the previous seven chimes were like a small pebble thrown into a lake, then at this moment, it is undoubtedly like a mountain falling from the sky, almost filling the entire lake!

With a deafening roar, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered!

"Good heavens, what on earth has happened—"

"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—this is the Five Elements Sealing Formation. Who sealed off Thousand Autumn Valley?"

"Has an enemy invaded Qianqiu Valley?!"

In an instant, various exclamations and shouts rose and fell, and some disciples recognized the great formation outside the mountain gate. They were stunned and overwhelmed by indescribable fear.

They even used the Five Elements Sealing Formation, which clearly indicates that they have ill intentions!

Lei Shao, who was seeing Bai Canghai off, immediately twitched his face and asked in disbelief in a trembling voice, "The Five Elements Sealing Void Formation? What exactly happened? Why did the Five Elements Sect suddenly attack our sect?"

The sects and forces in the Canglan Mountain area are not limited to Qianqiu Valley alone.

In fact, since the First Holy Land has been declining, the majesty of the Xuanwu royal family has become increasingly strong. In order to avoid its sharp edge, most sects have chosen to relocate to the Canglan Mountains, which are far away from the royal city.

The Five Elements Sect is one of them.

"Master, don't have too many expectations for the Five Elements Sect."

Bai Canghai, who was standing to the side, paused for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although the Five Elements Sect is nominally an ally of Qianqiu Valley, everyone knows that they have long since completely sided with the royal family and become its loyal henchmen."

“Of course I know, but back then…” Lei Shao’s face twitched, and he whispered hoarsely, “The Xuanwu royal family wanted to destroy the Five Elements Sect, but in the end, it was our sect’s ancestors who shielded the Five Elements Sect from that calamity…”

"But that was once the first holy land. Now, Qianqiu Valley is barely able to save itself."

At this point, Bai Canghai suddenly raised his hand and tossed the baggage aside. His chest heaved as he burst into laughter: "I originally wanted to leave the sect and search for a way to revive Qianqiu Valley on my own, but now... it seems I can't leave."

"My disciple, do you blame your master?"

Lei Shao suddenly took a breath, staring intently at Bai Canghai: "If I hadn't been injured, if I were stronger, with your talent, you could have achieved far more than you have now..."

"If it weren't for my master, I might have starved to death in that famine long ago."

Bai Canghai didn't say much, but slowly raised the sword in his hand.

Lei Shao remained silent.

Then he burst into laughter.

"In that case, my disciple and I will go and meet the Five Elements Sect! We'll let those bastards know that even though Thousand Autumn Valley has fallen, it's not a bunch of lackeys who can bully us—"

……

"It looks a bit like the Five Elements Sealing Formation."

At the edge of the massive light-screen cage, Feng Xia, accompanied by Zhu You Niang, appeared silently.

Looking at the five-colored light wall, Feng Xia raised his hand and punched it, then frowned and said, "This strength... doesn't seem like something that can be broken by force."

He also discovered a problem with himself: his true cultivation level was still too low!

Despite his ability to use soul powers due to his elemental attributes, and his achievement of perfecting the Sword Heart, he was virtually invincible in battle.

However, when the adversary is not human...
