I picked up the scattered attributes

As for their encounter with the Thousand-Winged Ancestral Dragon Ship in the ancient timeline, the two were initially unable to trust each other. It was only after they fought side by side against Ying Daoyi, the Lord of Gray Mist, that they finally established a certain level of trust.

Before the two could have a deeper conversation, the Lord of the Blood Demon descended once more, forcing Feng Xia to activate the Heavenly Dragon Eight-Tone Bell to fight back.

The Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor has always been an enemy, and his will is still suppressed in the Forsaken Ancient Land, making it impossible for him to reveal many secrets to Feng Xia.

As for the schoolteacher, he appeared at the Tianwen Academy less and less often.

Feng Xia visited Tianwen Ancient Street several times, but was unable to find any trace of the schoolteacher.

"I've finally waited for this day."

Feng Xia's gaze remained calm as he stared intently at Zu Long: "I imagine Fellow Daoist Zu Long must have made some preparations back then, and those preparations were probably mostly related to the Great Abyss, right?"

"Strictly speaking, it is related to the alien ruins behind the Great Abyss."

The mighty man, formed from the primordial divine thunder, sighed: "Speaking of which, since you obtained that bell, you should probably know that back then, the Imperial Preceptor, acting on His Majesty's orders, joined forces with the Heavenly King of Lingbao to create an eternal and ultimate Dao weapon, transcending time and space, eternally above all Daos."

Feng Xia's expression suddenly changed: "That's right."

When he helped the spirit of the pig-slaughtering knife to resolve its obsession, he had seen this scene in the spirit's memories.

It was precisely because their goals were so lofty that even though they forged a powerful artifact like the pig-slaughtering knife, it was ultimately treated as scrap, and this became an obsession that the knife spirit could not shake off.

"But now that I think about it, I was using the Heavenly Ladder to reenact that scene. The Heavenly Ladder was a magic weapon crafted by Ancestor Chenhai. With my master's cultivation level back then, was he capable of crafting such a magic weapon...?"

The thought of climbing the ladder to heaven momentarily distracted Feng Xia.

Back then, his cultivation level wasn't high enough, so he didn't notice anything unusual at all.

Now, with a clear perspective, they immediately saw through the trickery.

It's like a weak person trying to read the soul of a strong person; they can easily be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of memories...

The Heavenly Ladder, at best, is only a quasi-divine level magic weapon, while the Pig-Slaughtering Knife, as the weapon of the Knife King, is almost as powerful as an imperial treasure.

The fact that the Heavenly Ladder could recreate the memories of the spirit of the pig-slaughtering knife is itself an incredible thing.

"From the hundred lifetimes of reincarnation on the Heavenly Ladder, I also comprehended an eternal and invincible Dao Heart... Is an eternal and invincible Dao Heart so easily forged? With just a magic weapon that's not even at the divine level..."

For the first time, Feng Xia realized that there were more secrets hidden in this matter!

However, at this moment, Zu Long spoke again, interrupting Feng Xia's thoughts.

"But such powerful magical artifacts only exist in theory, especially those that are so easy to create?"

The burly man shook his head, his expression somewhat wistful: "Many times, even if the embryo of an Eternal Dao Weapon is formed, there is no good place to test it. After much deliberation, the Great Abyss of the Universe becomes the best testing ground. Many newly forged magical treasures will pour their power into that bottomless abyss."

Feng Xia thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

The vast abyss of the universe only takes in and never gives out.

If you want to test the power of a magical artifact, is there a better testing ground than this?

"and then?"

"In one experiment, they forged a magic weapon that was considered the closest to an eternal Dao weapon, and attempted to use it to break through the Great Abyss. However, during the process, a small accident occurred." Zu Long took a deep breath as he said this. "The magic weapon's movement was too violent, and it went out of control and fell into the depths of the Great Abyss."

Feng Xia was both amused and exasperated by what she heard.

Looking back now, that magical artifact was definitely not a true Eternal Dao Weapon.

But for the powerful figures of the ancient god kingdom at that time, he might have been their greatest hope.

But then, hope plummeted into the abyss.

“That’s how experiments are; nothing is ever completely smooth sailing,” Feng Xia couldn’t help but shake his head.

"Although I felt very helpless, I eventually accepted reality."

Zu Long nodded in agreement, then continued, "The abyss of the universe is a place of no return; this is common knowledge. Therefore, after that experiment failed, everyone quickly regained their confidence and began preparing for the next experiment. Who would have thought that not long after that..."

He paused abruptly at this point.

Even though his entire body was composed of primordial divine lightning, he still subconsciously swallowed at this moment.

"About ten years after that, the connection with that magical artifact, which had been completely severed, was re-established without any warning!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xia's spirits lifted.

If a so-called eternal weapon is forged, it can mostly ignore the barriers of the cosmic abyss. So what about the embryo of an eternal weapon?

History has provided the answer to this question.

After disappearing for ten years, it re-established contact with the ancient god kingdom!

—From the other side of the cosmic abyss.

"The end of the Great Abyss leads to another universe?"

Feng Xia asked with a look of surprise.

He knew perfectly well how terrifying the barrier between the two universes was.

Even the nineteen powerful beings from the other universes at the source of the mystery only managed to establish a passage connecting the two universes after a long period of effort, allowing a small portion of their people to descend into this universe.

If Feng Xia hadn't stumbled upon the passage established by the Lord of the Blood Demon by sheer chance, it would have been virtually impossible for him to travel to another universe with his own strength!

Now it seems that the cosmic abyss is a naturally existing passage.

The only problem is that this passage is one-way; once you go in, there's no chance of coming back.

—Until the embryo of that Eternal Dao Weapon sent a reply for the first time from the ruins of the alien universe.

"The ruins of that alien universe are called Taixu by us."

Zu Long said, enunciating each word clearly.

……

Chapter 1090

Too much!

Upon hearing this term, Feng Xia's spirits lifted slightly, and many associations inevitably arose within her.

Zulong continued, "Although it is a ruin of another universe, there is almost no spiritual energy there, and the Great Dao has withered. Even the most powerful gods would lose all their cultivation there, and the power they can exert would be at most equivalent to the level of opening the wheel or the Dao platform."

"However, this applies not only to us, but also to certain invaders."

"Could it be that..."

Feng Xia suddenly realized something.

Zu Long nodded: "At that time, some people realized that Taixu could be a safe haven, and if any accident were to occur, it would be the last hope for our universe. At the same time, it could also be a battlefield for a decisive battle, bridging the gap between us and the enemy!"

"So...so that's the place!"

More memories surfaced in Feng Xia's mind.

His teacher had once told him that if he ever found himself in dire straits, he could go to a place where there was no primordial energy of heaven and earth, nor any of the myriad paths of the heavens; it would be a good place to avoid trouble.

Later, he also saw a mysterious battlefield in the memories of the spirit of the pig-slaughtering knife.

On that battlefield, even someone as powerful as the Blade King of the Ancient God Kingdom only behaved like a powerful supernatural being, and his limit was to cause damage of a dozen feet with a single strike.

"After I first met Yu Hui, I traveled the universe with him. Once, we accidentally stumbled into a strange place, devoid of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and the myriad paths of the heavens. We almost got trapped there and couldn't get back..."

Now, all the clues connect, and these three areas in my memory may all be the same place.

Beyond all the heavens and myriad realms, in the ruins of another universe—the Great Ruins!

The only thing that made Feng Xia somewhat uncertain was the strange place he and Yu Hui had accidentally wandered into.

If that really is Taixu, then my return was far too easy.

"But without a doubt, the first two places refer to... Taixu."

He took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and said, "I see. I finally understand many things."

Sending Lu Tiancheng and the others into the cosmic abyss seems like sending them to their doom.

But actually...

"Fellow Daoist, are you going to send them to the remnants of the Ancient God Kingdom?"

Feng Xia squinted his eyes.

Zu Long nodded slowly: "That's right. The situation was very critical at the time, and I was no longer suitable to protect them. If we went to Taixu, they would naturally be able to find protection."

After they finished speaking, the two fell silent again.

Feng Xia's brows furrowed at times and then slowly relaxed at others.

After an unknown amount of time, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Zu Long also breathed a sigh of relief.

Back then, Feng Xia was extremely weak and didn't even catch his eye. It was only after he displayed his strange abilities that he managed to injure the powerful figure at the source of the strangeness, which made Feng Xia look at him with new respect.

But now, both Longmen Pass and the golden bell have fallen into Feng Xia's hands.

This forced Zulong to reconsider the importance of Fengxia.

Fortunately, Feng Xia did not pursue the matter further.

"I understand what you're saying, but even if you were weak back then, it shouldn't have been too difficult for you to take down that Void Hunter, right?"

It should be noted that the Void Hunter from back then, despite its bizarre nature, was far less powerful than Wang Qianjun.
