I picked up the scattered attributes

He was very confident in his intuition.

For a fleeting moment, he did indeed sense a faint, eerie aura, like an ocean of mist rising up, threatening to engulf all living beings in the myriad realms.

However, that aura came quickly and went even faster, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Could it be that the Dao Ancestor, the source of the strange phenomenon, sensed my arrival? That seems unlikely. If it were them, they would either leave no trace or strike with lightning speed..."

In Feng Xia's perception, that faint fluctuation of energy just now seemed more like some kind of natural rule!

"That aura wasn't coming towards me, but rather towards..."

He looked towards the other end of the ship: "Is it heading towards Li Qingmu?"

……

Chapter 1131

Feng Xia had already prepared herself mentally before arriving at Ziwei.

Every top-tier family in Ziwei (the Purple Star) is bound to be connected to the source of the mystery. The only exception in this matter is that they have survived to this day in this universe.

It's just a matter of how many people are involved.

Feng Xia had no idea that even a junior like Li Qingmu would receive such strange attention!

He clearly sensed it very clearly in that instant.

The fleeting, eerie aura was clearly aimed at Li Qingmu.

"But this aura is very weak, what exactly is going on?"

Just as Feng Xia was frowning, Zu Long suddenly came to pay his respects.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately realized each other's purpose.

Zulong also sensed that strange aura of calamity.

"The situation is a little strange, but it doesn't seem to be aimed at us." Zu Long's expression was slightly solemn. "Or perhaps, this is just a test?"

"Don't act rashly. Let me sense it out first."

Feng Xia pondered for a moment, his perception soared infinitely, as if he had leaped into the heavens and arrived at a perspective that transcended all things.

He saw the materialized Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and at the end of these Great Daos, a hazy mist surged and shrouded the place, which had never dissipated throughout the ages.

The fog displayed a variety of colors, as many as nineteen in total.

However, the gray and blood-red colors appeared extremely weak, being the thinnest colors in the fog.

"There doesn't seem to be any overreaction."

Feng Xia did not recklessly activate the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, but instead used this special state to quietly observe the movements of the strange source.

Although he has entrusted himself to the Heavenly Dao and possesses the ability to contend with the nineteen mysterious Dao Ancestors, it is only an ability. If his actions are too drastic and are detected, his journey to Ziwei will likely come to an end.

Simultaneously contending against nineteen mysterious Dao Ancestors...

With Feng Xia's current cultivation level, even if there were ten more of him, he still couldn't do it!

and so--

Secretly observing (Fuuka limited).jpg

Therefore, the only option is to quietly observe the strange movements.

"There seems to be nothing unusual, and they didn't seem to sense my presence. So that strange aura from earlier probably wasn't aimed at me..."

Feng Xia quickly regained his senses and shook his head at Zu Long: "The only thing that puzzles me is, what exactly did that kid do to suddenly attract the attention of this strange source?"

“But in short, it’s not enough to just keep an eye on us.” Feng Xia stroked his chin, lost in thought for a moment. “Based on our previous speculation, the Li family and other top-tier families in Ziwei should all have some special marks on them, which control their life and death, and even their thoughts.”

Zu Long frowned slightly and couldn't help but say, "Controlling life and death is understandable, but if even their minds are controlled and they are completely brainwashed... those top families couldn't possibly have cultivated so many powerful individuals, could they?"

If one's thoughts are controlled, unable to think freely, and unable to perceive the mysteries of the universe...

It's simply impossible to cultivate to the level of a God Lord or God Sovereign!

Otherwise, wouldn't those ancient emperors have been able to create batches of divine rulers with a wave of their hands?

Obviously it is impossible!

"Mind control does not mean brainwashing."

Feng Xia shook his head, his gaze deep, and said slowly, "For example, as soon as they have a thought that they shouldn't have, they will immediately feel great pain. Over time, this will become an instinct to avoid any related thoughts."

"This……"

Zu Long's brows furrowed even deeper.

He was able to understand what Fuuka was saying.

However, during the era in which he was active, innate gods and demons suppressed the world with absolute power. Such methods of twisting people's hearts were unheard of in that era!

Even in the later Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom, he remained the God of War, fighting against heaven and earth with unparalleled bravery, and didn't need to bother with trivial matters.

These matters will be handled by designated personnel.

"Times have changed."

Even the First Emperor couldn't help but sigh.

The times have changed.

The Celestial Kingdom is no more.

He is no longer the war god he once was. Now that he has been resurrected and returned, if he wants to return to his peak and turn the tide, he must face these things whether he likes it or not!

"If we follow your line of thinking, wouldn't that kid named Li Qingmu be..."

Zulong also stroked his chin: "He has harbored rebellious thoughts towards the Dao Ancestor, the source of this strange phenomenon?"

"I was just using an analogy; as for the truth, only he himself probably knows."

Feng Xia neither confirmed nor denied: "However, this person is perhaps worth paying some attention to. Perhaps one day in the future, he will play an unexpected role."

Zu Long nodded nonchalantly.

For a period of time afterward, everything was calm and peaceful.

Feng Xia cultivated methodically, truly integrating the lessons learned from the battle with the Demon Dragon Emperor into his own cultivation.

"The Dao Court corresponds to the Great Thousand Universe. Above the universe is the Immortal Realm. So above the Dao Court, there should be a similar realm... the ultimate realm of all paths, following the Great Emperor!"

Feng Xia couldn't help but feel excited.

That step will be an achievement that countless sages have never attained. He will truly surpass all his predecessors, and there will be no one like him before or after him!

"But in my mind, the Dao Court realm is already perfect, and all the myriad paths of the heavens are under its control. So what should I do to advance further at that level?"

Although he had a general direction, Feng Xia didn't have any further clues for the time being.

After all, no one has ever been able to reach that point since ancient times.

Whether they are innate gods and demons or countless beings born after birth, no one has ever succeeded!

"Even the nineteen bizarre Dao Ancestors from another universe... they are very likely still groping in the dark!"

Reaching the Emperor Realm is already fraught with countless difficulties and dangers.

Not to mention realms above the Emperor Realm?

For several years in a row, Feng Xia couldn't find any solutions.

At his current level of cultivation, being stuck in a rut for hundreds or even thousands of years is not uncommon.

He was so bored and restless in his cabin that he left his room and went to the deck of the ship to look out at the outside world.

The vastness of the Ziwei star field far exceeded Feng Xia's expectations.

After a voyage that lasted several years, they finally passed through the Tian Shi Yuan and Tai Wei Yuan, and approached the Zi Wei Yuan, where the main star Zi Wei was located!

"Ok?"

Feng Xia felt something and looked towards a planet in the distant starry sky.

That was an ordinary star on the outer edge of the Purple Palace Enclosure. Even so, if placed outside the Purple Palace Enclosure, it would be a star with a fairly high level of life.

On this star, no intelligent life has yet been born, but the flowers, grass and trees are lush, and there are mythical birds and beasts living there. The primordial energy of heaven and earth is swirling into mist, giving it the feel of a paradise on earth at first glance.

But in Feng Xia's perception, a sense of destruction suddenly arose from the depths of this star.

Then... it swept across the entire star at an astonishing speed!

……

Chapter 1132

That aura came incredibly suddenly.

Under Feng Xia's watchful gaze, a once vibrant star suddenly emitted an aura of destruction from its core, followed by a spray of ash that instantly engulfed the entire planet!

That scene was absolutely terrifying!

"Those ashes of war—"

Feng Xia's heart skipped a beat: "I've seen it before!!"
