I picked up the scattered attributes

The old man seemed to hesitate for a long time before finally making up his mind and saying, word by word, "Fellow Daoist, how much do you know about the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom?"

Feng Xia gave a slight smile and nodded slowly.

"The Celestial Pattern Divine Kingdom? There are indeed many karmic connections between me and this ancient divine kingdom."

"If that's the case..."

The old man hesitated for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand: "Please tell me..."

He waved his hand forcefully again.

Then he waved again.

Feng Xia slapped his forehead: "...Oh, I forgot to lift the lockdown."

With the pressure of sealing off all directions of space released, the Xuanhuang Elder was able to successfully open the spatial passage, revealing a vast and boundless Xuanhuang Sacred Mountain!

"There are some things, some secrets, that you might need to know, fellow Daoist."

"Oh?" Feng Xia's eyebrows slowly rose.

"Fellow Daoist, don't you want to know where the Divine Kingdom ultimately went?"

……

Chapter 1024

Xuanhuang Sacred Mountain.

The Mysterious Yellow Sacred Palace.

From all directions, the primordial energy rose, giving rise to countless extraordinary phenomena.

When Feng Xia set foot in this area again, he looked around and couldn't help but marvel: "So that's how it is. So your true form is this Xuanhuang Sacred Mountain. In that case, the aura I sensed back then should also belong to you."

When he first came to the Xuanhuang Sacred Mansion, a hidden aura descended, warning the Supreme One not to act rashly.

At the time, Feng Xia thought that the aura belonged to Ji Yuheng, the Great Evolution God King.

Now it seems that the aura must have come from the Elder Xuanhuang!

However, these words took on a completely different meaning when they reached the ears of the Old Man Xuanhuang.

"So he had already noticed my presence back then!"

The old man Xuanhuang couldn't help but shake his head: "In that case, my evaluation behind his back was actually quite poor."

The one who is truly blind to talent is himself!

"So, fellow Daoist, after keeping this a closely guarded secret, can you tell us now?"

Feng Xia stood with his hands behind his back, scanned the area a few more times, and then asked with a smile, "Where exactly has that ancient divine kingdom that once ruled the heavens and the universe gone?"

This problem has been troubling Feng Xia for who knows how long!

According to the information he had gathered, the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom had left behind a series of backup plans, and its influence had not completely dissipated even now.

The great divine advisor of the divine kingdom, Xiao Weiming, possessed unparalleled wisdom and devised a scheme that transcended eternity.

even……

The time-traveling treasure of Tianwen Ancient Street is very likely also the work of Xiao Weiming!

Ironically, within this very world, the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom has indeed vanished.

The divine realm has shattered, and the gods have fallen. Now, the one that holds the rightful place in all realms is the Ziwei Star Domain!

Between heaven and earth, the Celestial Pattern Divine Kingdom is no more.

"Some of them stayed behind and remained true to their mission."

The old man sighed and tapped his cane lightly on the ground: "For example, I have been guarding this place ever since the day the divine kingdom collapsed."

A captivating glint suddenly flashed in Feng Xia's eyes.

He could tell that the Xuanhuang Elder was of great importance, but he still never expected that the Xuanhuang Elder was actually a remnant of the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom!

Unlike Ji Yuheng, who was always in a daze, the old man Xuanhuang seemed to have remained clear-headed and knew everything that had happened over the years.

"And what about the others?"

"Many people died in a great purge."

Even after many years, when recalling what happened back then, the old man Xuanhuang's pupils still contract sharply.

He stood in the Xuanhuang Qi, leaning on his cane, and remained silent for a long time before continuing, "After an unprecedented victory, the Imperial Preceptor Xiao Weiming suddenly launched a great purge, which came out of nowhere without warning."

"From an ordinary True One Realm cultivator to a Great Emperor in the Reincarnation Realm, all of them have fallen into this trap."

The wind and summer breeze immediately invigorated him.

He had heard about this matter from Emperor You and Emperor Zulong.

The one who launched that great purge was Xiao Weiming, the Grand Preceptor of the Divine Kingdom, the greatest sage in history!

"Emperor You and the First Emperor also mentioned this matter to me."

Taking a deep breath, Feng Xia said without changing his expression, "However, they are not very clear about the origin of this great purge."

"Have you met the Nether Emperor and the Ancestral Dragon?"

The old man Xuanhuang was once again shaken and gasped.

It's no exaggeration to say that every time I see Kazeka, the shock I feel far surpasses any previous moment!

"I guess so," Feng Xia nodded.

"In other words, neither Emperor You nor the First Emperor died."

The old man paced back and forth, his expression shifting constantly, as if he were hesitating about something.

Feng Xia interrupted him helplessly: "No, Emperor You is indeed dead, and so is the Ancestral Dragon. However, they were later resurrected, which is why I was able to see them."

Even Feng Xia couldn't say for sure whether the state of the Nether Emperor could be considered a resurrection.

As for the Ancestral Dragon, it was forcibly transformed into a dragon boat, existing in a state between life and death.

He had promised Zu Long that he would one day resurrect him, but fate had other plans. After returning to this era, he was even busier and still hadn't been able to find Zu Long's whereabouts.

"No, if the Imperial Preceptor wants to kill, even the Emperor will die! His soul will be scattered, his body will perish, and his true spirit will be obliterated. He won't even leave a trace in the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

The old man shook his head firmly in denial, saying, "But in reality, that great purge encompassed many people. Who among them truly had their spirits extinguished and could never reappear in the world?"

"No, not even the Black Emperor!"

"Although the Imperial Advisor never mentioned the true purpose of that purge to anyone, I have a terrible suspicion..."

Feng Xia finally understood: "Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps mean—"

The old man slammed his cane down heavily, and said in a stern voice, "The reason for launching this great purge is not to shake the foundation of the divine kingdom, but because the Grand Preceptor has discovered a fatal flaw within the foundation of the divine kingdom that must be addressed. If the flaw is not removed, true victory will never come!"

"Then, what is the lesion you mentioned, fellow Daoist?"

Feng Xia narrowed his eyes and went straight to the most crucial question.

What kind of lesion would require such a brutal removal method?

"I do not know the truth, but I am not without speculation."

Behind the old man Xuanhuang, Xuanhuang Qi surged and transformed into the image of a supernatural being.

This supernatural being started from the Opening Wheel Realm, taking one step at a time, building the Dao Platform, refining the Yuan Pill, and finally becoming a true first-realm god.

"The Imperial Preceptor once mentioned that the Divine Power Realm... might be unnecessary."

"Ok?"

The Grand Preceptor of the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom actually said these words.

He himself had almost forgotten about the traps in the Divine Power Realm!

"The realm of Divine Power is likely an artificial addition, its true purpose being to conceal another realm."

The Old Man of Xuanhuang is known for his outrageous words; if the secrets he reveals at this moment were to be leaked, they would surely shake the entire universe!

Feng Xia then recalled that when Zhu Youniang broke through to the next realm, she mentioned that she had once felt a new realm above the Divine Bridge Realm.

Could this new realm be what the Old Man of Xuanhuang was referring to?

"But what's the point of concealing this realm?" he couldn't help but ask.

"After the Divine Bridge Realm comes the True One Realm, and above the True One Realm is the Myriad Manifestations Realm. The essence of the Myriad Manifestations Realm is to manifest all things in the universe. Only at this realm can a supernatural being truly perceive the universe with their primordial spirit!"

"but."

Almost simultaneously, Feng Xia and Elder Xuanhuang exchanged a glance and uttered the same sentence: "There's something wrong with our universe!"

……

Chapter 1025

"When a person with supernatural powers refines their primordial spirit and true spirit, they reach the True Spirit Realm."

"At this level, the primordial spirit leaves the body and comprehends the universe."

Feng Xia's thoughts quickly became clear, as if he were speaking to the Xuanhuang Elder, or perhaps he was muttering to himself: "But at this time, the primordial spirit is still very fragile. To truly roam freely in the world and perceive the universe, one must first overcome the Yang God Tribulation and achieve the True One Realm!"
