I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

287 The 16th Prince

After disconnecting from his conversation with Long Da, Feng Xia turned his attention back to the Heavenly Stairway.

While he was distracted, more and more demon beasts had already stepped onto the Heavenly Stairway. They were all bathed in the dreamy divine light. For a moment, even those ferocious-looking demon beasts looked a little divine and extraordinary.

“This must be the difference between high-end special effects and 50-cent special effects…”

After letting out a sigh that no one could understand, Feng Xia immediately smiled and turned to nod at Zhu Youniang and Qing Lin, as well as Bai Xiao, Mo Lianque and the others in the distance.

!!

Only after that did he truly relax his mind and fuse with the divine light of the Heavenly Stairway!

Kaboom—

At this moment, Feng Xia felt as if 1,000 or 10,000 explosions had happened in his mind. His body and soul were trembling violently, as if the surrounding world was crazily rejecting his existence!

“Damn it, what’s going on—”

Feng Xia only had time to cry out before he completely lost consciousness.

…

Lingyun Kingdom.

The capital.

On this day, the streets and alleys of the capital of Lingyun Kingdom were decorated with lanterns and colored banners. The entire place was filled with a festive atmosphere. Even outsiders who had just arrived here could not help but be infected by this atmosphere.

Today was a very special day!

After three years of nurturing, the 16th Prince, son of the Lingyun Emperor, was finally going to be born today!

For this reason, the emperor had already informed the entire country three months in advance. After the birth of the 16th Prince, the entire country would hold a banquet for seven days and seven nights, with guests coming from all over.

Regardless of status or background, as long as one was willing to send blessings to the 16th Prince, one would be a guest of the emperor!

As time passed, more and more experts arrived.

Some of them came to the capital in their true forms, while others had their essence souls leave their bodies and let their consciousnesses travel thousands of miles just to wish the 16th Prince a happy birthday.

In the sky above the capital of Lingyun Kingdom, many long bridges could be seen across the sky, connecting the sky to the ground as if they were connected to another world. Experts with oppressive auras crossed the divine bridges and descended into the royal palace of Lingyun Kingdom.

Among these experts who arrived, some were overlords who had been famous for many years, some were hermits who had been in seclusion for many years, and some were superior beings who ruled over large clans.

“Master Tai Zhen has arrived with a congratulatory gift for the 16th Prince, the Divine Transformation Screen…”

“Loner Xuan Yin has arrived with a congratulatory gift of 30 catties of purple bamboo branches for the 16th Prince…”

One name after another was announced from the direction of the palace, bringing new topics of conversation for many living beings in the capital.

At this moment, the world suddenly darkened in four directions.

“Which deity is here? What a domineering aura!” A passerby could not help but feel shocked.

However, before anyone could say anything, a monstrous bang suddenly came from the Yuanqing River in the north. Shockingly, the entire Yuanqing River had been lifted into the sky!

Amidst the terrifying waves, a huge figure with tortoise and snake on it came forward on the waves, emanating an incredibly dense and terrifying aura.

“Hehe…”

The figure chuckled and said in an old voice, “I didn’t expect my other three fellow practitioners to be here too. This is really a rare occasion.”

“Hey, I thought a coward like you won’t come out.”

Another figure walked over from the east with a surging and sharp aura. It sneered at the creature from before and said, “Today is the 16th Prince’s birthday. Since that fellow Lu Tiancheng personally issued an invitation, we have to show the Lingyun Emperor some respect.”

Crackle—

Almost at the same time, a figure covered in flames arrived, followed closely by a white tiger that was emitting lightning!

“So the four of them are here too!”

“With the arrival of these four Sages, our 16th Prince is really very honored!”

Countless living beings in the country were shocked.

At the same time, a strong sense of pride filled everyone’s chest!

Only their emperor could invite these four Sages to come at the same time!

Not long after, the pressure in the sky dissipated, and four uniform voices could be heard from the direction of the palace.

“King Zhendong, Azure Dragon, wishes the 16th Prince vigorous vitality and innate sacredness!”

“King Zhenxi, White Tiger, wishes the 16th Prince great bravery and good combat skills!”

“King Zhennan, Vermillion Bird, wishes the 16th Prince invulnerability against all evils…”

“King Zhenbei, Black Tortoise, wishes the 16th Prince…”

Almost at the same time, a clear cry could be heard from the backyard of the palace.

“The 16th Prince is born…”

…

Time passed quickly.

It had been 10 years since the birth of the 16th Prince.

However, unlike the huge commotion that shook the entire country back then, the entire Lingyun palace seemed to have selectively forgotten about the existence of the 16th Prince.

Even the emperor, who had liked him very much in the beginning, rarely saw him now. Even if they did meet occasionally, he did not treat the 16th Prince well.

As everyone knew…

The 16th Prince was a complete good-for-nothing!

He had clearly received the blessings of the four Sages and the nourishment of countless natural treasures, but in the end, his acupoints were innately blocked and his meridians severed.

Not only that, but the 16th Prince was very mischievous. Not only did he sneak out of the palace all day long, but he also kept stirring up all kinds of trouble and even blew up half of the palace at one time!

His poor cultivation talent was still barely acceptable, but his action of blowing up the palace had made the entire royal family a laughingstock!

Even though the emperor had ordered the news to be sealed off, there were still all kinds of rumors circulating…

The 16th Prince was only a few months away from turning 10 years old. He had not even activated his first Mystical Wheel. Instead, he had been caught a few days ago trying to sneak into the ancestral temple!

What kind of place was the ancestral temple?

It was a sacred place to honor the ancestral spirits of Lingyun Kingdom!

Given all these, how could the emperor not go from being fond of him to being furious to finally exhibiting his current cold attitude?

Not long ago, the emperor had issued an imperial edict. If the 16th Prince was still unable to activate his Mystical Wheel this year, he would be stripped of his status as a prince. Although he could keep his allowance, he had to move out of the palace, or even the capital of Lingyun Kingdom!

“My royal son, what are you thinking about now?”

In a corner of the imperial garden.

The 16th Prince was wearing a pair of shorts and did not have the bearing of a member of the royal family at all. His feet were bare and his two fair calves were on full display.

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded from behind him.

He turned around and saw a graceful woman standing not far behind him.

The 16th Prince did not get up. Instead, he smiled and said, “Her Majesty my mother, I’ve been thinking about a problem for the past 10 years…”

The graceful woman walked forward and asked curiously, “Oh, my royal son, what problem are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking…”

At this point, the 16th Prince paused as if he was considering something. Then he looked at the carps in the lotus pond and spoke.

“Do these carps dream?”
