148 An Imperfect Realm Leads to Tears During Cultivation

If the Second Ancestor of the Xuanwu Kingdom was still alive, then the words of the current Xuanwu Emperor, Mo Lianque, finally had some credibility in Feng Xia’s ears.

No matter how weak his cultivation was, an old monster that had lived since 700 years ago would have reached the peak of the Primal Core Realm!

Even… the Dharma Characteristic Realm!

“If the Second Ancestor that Your Majesty mentioned has reached the Dharma Characteristic Realm, then Xuanwu Kingdom would have the ability to tussle with the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons after the world recovers.”

Hearing this, Feng Xia nodded his head, acknowledging the Xuanwu Emperor’s words.

Of course, they would only have the ability to tussle.

After all, according to Qing Lin’s judgment, the ruler of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons might have already reached the Dharma Characteristic Realm. If Mo Yuanlong was the number one expert in Xuanwu Kingdom earlier, then the ruler of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons might very well be the number one expert in the world!

Not only that, but what was even more terrifying about the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons was that the reproduction ability of most demon beasts generally surpassed that of humans!

Even without talking about the top-level combat power, and only comparing the mid-level and bottom-level, there was still a huge gap that existed between the two sides.

“As the saying goes, if you hear the Dao in the morning, you can die in the evening. Your Majesty, I can understand that you want to pursue a glorious world and are unwilling to be mediocre.”

At this point, Feng Xia finally chose his words carefully and said, “However, are you prepared to pay any price? Are you prepared to make all the humans in Xuanwu Kingdom pay for your great wish?”

“There is only one chance. I won’t implicate my people.”

The Xuanwu Emperor took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression, “Regarding this, I can swear on my Dao heart. If I break this oath, my Dao heart will shatter and my cultivation will be destroyed!”

Feng Xia knew that in this world of divine beings, swearing on one’s Dao heart was considered a serious oath.

If one violated an oath made on one’s Dao heart, the best case scenario was that one’s Dao heart would collapse and one would lose one’s cultivation. The worst case scenario would be that one would go berserk and die on the spot!

“However, this is still not enough.”

Facing the incomparably solemn Xuanwu Emperor, Feng Xia ended up shaking his head. With a thought, a magnificent lotus appeared out of thin air.

This lotus glowed with a crystalline light. Its material was neither gold nor jade. Unlike ordinary lotuses, its petals were long and slender as if they were made of sharp swords.

“This is…” The Xuanwu Emperor’s heart skipped a beat.

“This is a sword wheel condensed from my divine power. Your Majesty, please swear on my sword wheel.” Feng Xia put his hands behind his back and said lightly, “If you break the oath, you don’t need to break your Dao heart. This sword wheel will kill you. It will find you anywhere and you won’t be able to escape!”

“What a terrifying divine power!”

The Xuanwu Emperor, Mo Lianque, looked over and felt a chill in his heart.

He could see that this divine power that Feng Xia displayed was far more complicated than it looked. It was made up of many different systems fused together. Even a Primal Core Realm cultivator like him could not see through the profundity within.

At the same time, the Xuanwu Emperor felt helpless.

All the plans he had prepared previously did not take into account the appearance of the anomaly that was Feng Xia. As a result, they had unknowingly reached this point where they stood on opposing sides.

He could completely feel Feng Xia’s murderous intent and knew that if he did not swear on this sword wheel, it would be difficult for him to end this situation peacefully today. By then, he might not even be able to walk out of the Thousand Autumn Valley, let alone carry out his plan to change the world!

“Sect Master Feng, if only you had appeared a few years earlier…”

Sighing inwardly, Mo Lianque’s expression finally turned solemn as he nodded and said in a deep voice, “I will swear on your sword wheel.”

Feng Xia smiled and raised a hand.

“In that case, please go ahead, Your Majesty.”

A moment later.

The Xuanwu Emperor heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. With a thought, he removed all the complicated emotions from his mind and a calm expression appeared on his face once again.

“Sect Master Feng…”

“Hmph.” A little girl’s soft snort came from afar.

“Ahem! Sect Master Wu, you…” Mo Lianque quickly changed his way of address. However, in the next second, he cried out in shock again, “Wait a minute, Sect Master Wu, what are you doing?!”

“Destroying my cultivation of course. I’ve already finished fighting. What do I still need this Primal Core Realm cultivation for?”

At this moment, Feng Xia’s aura fell rapidly. When he heard what Mo Lianque said, he immediately looked over with a strange expression on his face and said matter-of-factly, “An imperfect realm leads to tears during cultivation. If one wants to cultivate, one naturally has to strive for perfection.”

But you’ve already bloody destroyed your cultivation realm twice!

Even with Mo Lianque’s bearing, he almost cursed at this moment.

Over the past 700 years since the founding of Xuanwu Kingdom, countless predecessors and sages had fallen while on the path to reach the Primal Core Realm. Feng Xia, on the other hand, condensed the Primal Core as if it was even easier than eating and drinking. It was not enough to destroy his own cultivation just once, but he actually did it a second time!

At this moment, there was only one Mystical Wheel left behind Feng Xia’s head. The eight small spiritual light bells flew back into the depths of the valley. There were only three shiny Dao Bricks that undulated in his Mystical Wheel.

“Why? Does Your Majesty have any other thoughts?”

Seeing the Xuanwu Emperor’s expression, Feng Xia said with a faint smile, “If you have an idea, you can give it a try. Let’s see which is faster, Your Majesty’s actions or me cultivating back to the Primal Core Realm?”

The Xuanwu Emperor: “…”

How could you do such a comparison?!

At this moment, he did not even have the strength to shake his head. He could only smile bitterly and say, “Sect Master Wu, there’s no need to probe anymore. Since I’ve already made an oath, I definitely won’t break it. Moreover, I’ve indeed thought it through just now. My path might not be right. If my path is wrong, perhaps your existence will become a way out for Xuanwu Kingdom.”

—I don’t think so.

Feng Xia complained in his heart. He stayed behind in the Thousand Autumn Valley as the Sect Master because of the favors he owed.

However, it was a different situation with the Xuanwu Kingdom. He was a transmigrator to begin with, so he had no sense of belonging in the Xuanwu Kingdom. Perhaps he would run away without a word when there was a calamity?

Feng Xia would run like the wind!

I don’t even have that much confidence in myself!

After destroying his cultivation and removing the influence of the demonic aura, Feng Xia’s way of thinking quickly returned to normal.

… Probably.

“No matter what, with Sect Master Feng… Wu’s current strength, there are some secrets that you can know.” After a long silence, the Xuanwu Emperor finally shook his head and said, “This is an extremely ancient secret. Only the Xuanwu Emperor of each generation is allowed to pass it down through word of mouth.”

“The truth is that this world did not dry up naturally. Someone did it on purpose!”

“Someone set up a huge Heaven and Earth Array to plunder the spiritual energy of the world for his own use!”
