I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

321 Listen, Is This Even Human Language?

“It’s finally over…”

Feng Xia slowly opened his eyes when he felt the ground beneath his feet again. He looked around, and for a moment, he felt like he had reincarnated.

In the Demon Imperial Tombs, the sunlight above his head was slightly illusory. However, Feng Xia still narrowed his eyes instinctively. The violent impact caused by the intersection of dream and reality made him somewhat unable to distinguish the boundary between reality and illusion.

“It’s finally over.”

After a while, Feng Xia sighed again and finally got rid of the trance.

He moved his lips and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Chi Yanli of the Crimson Crow Clan was still close by and had not gone far. When he heard Feng Xia’s whisper, his heart could not help but beat wildly.

“He said it’s over. What’s over?”

“I saw him standing still for a few days. He must have encountered some secrets, so he gave up on the goal of reaching the top of the Heavenly Stairway and stayed behind to try to crack the mysteries of this place…”

“He just said that it’s finally over. Can it be that he has grasped the mysteries of the Heavenly Stairway?!”

A rather terrifying thought appeared in Chi Yanli’s mind.

He instinctively wanted to deny this guess. After all, over the long years, there had been more than one or two of his predecessors who had stepped onto the Heavenly Stairway. However, there was no one who could crack the secret.

Feng Xia just stood there for a few days. Could it be that he had done it?

“Perhaps I’m thinking too much. What Xia Donghai said did not mean that the mysteries of the Heavenly Stairway had been solved, but that his method to resist the divine light of the Heavenly Stairway had finally been completely exhausted.”

Chi Yanli’s expression changed, and he quickly found a more reasonable explanation.

However, what he did not know was…

The moment Feng Xia woke up, the Chaos Jade Talisman in his hand had indeed shattered silently, turning into specks of spiritual light that dissipated into nothingness!

It felt as if he had completed his mission and had finally returned to light and rain, dust and earth.

However, the divine light of the Heavenly Stairway still did not cause any pressure to him.

“Chi Yanli?”

At this moment, the descendant of the Crimson Crow Clan heard Feng Xia’s voice.

He instinctively turned his head and met the young man’s gaze.

In the next second, Chi Yanli could not help but feel his blood run cold.

“You… What!!”

He clearly saw that Feng Xia’s eyes were filled with boundless vicissitudes, as if he had come from ancient times. The aura emanating from Feng Xia’s body was so strong that even an insignificant wisp frightened him. If not for the fact that he still had a rare treasure protecting his body, he might have been crushed to death by that aura in an instant!

However, in the blink of an eye, Feng Xia’s aura began to weaken.

It was as if he had fallen from the clouds. An illusory long bridge behind his head shattered, and then a majestic deity figure was destroyed. In the end, only a hazy painting was left.

Then, the painting also disappeared, leaving only a golden Primal Core floating behind Feng Xia.

Even the golden glaze was receding. It was as if his cultivation level had fallen, and he gradually became no different from an ordinary Primal Core Realm cultivator.

Chi Yanli was completely bewildered as to why such a change had occurred.

At this moment, he heard Feng Xia mutter to himself.

“Ah, I almost forgot that when I ascended the Heavenly Stairway, my cultivation level had already broken through. The nine-turns Primal Core formed an Immortal Golden Core. It seems like I’m too overzealous in hiding it…”

Feng Xia rubbed his chin and a strange smile appeared on his face. When he realized this, he did not immediately restore the Golden Core. Instead, he let it maintain its appearance.

“That’s not too bad either. Perhaps others will think that the cultivation I displayed previously was purely caused by a secret technique. Those who are tempted or not so clever will think that I am seriously injured on the Heavenly Stairway, causing my cultivation to regress and my strength to be different from before…”

Chi Yanli was dumbfounded.

What was this person saying, was he being treated like he did not exist at all?

However, he had to admit that if he had not seen the complete transformation process and heard Feng Xia’s words, he would probably have that same thought if he had seen it at any other time!

Thinking of this, Chi Yanli was extremely glad. Before this, his relationship with Feng Xia was quite good, and they even had a pleasant cooperation.

At the very least, they were not enemies.

“Speaking of which, what is his cultivation level now?” Chi Yanli was puzzled.

Looking at the aura of the Primal Core Realm on Feng Xia’s body, it fluctuated from time to time, as if he had only just broken through to the Primal Core Realm and had not even stabilized his own cultivation!

Bah!

It was fake!

All of them were fake!

Anyone who believed the cultivation that Feng Xia displayed would definitely be the number one idiot in the world. They should be killed and reincarnated to cultivate again. Even then, they should not feel wronged to be treated that way!

Chi Yanli took a deep breath to calm himself down before he transmitted his voice to Feng Xia, “Fellow practitioner Xia Donghai, the ending you mentioned just now is…”

“When I say ending, I naturally mean the end of the Heavenly Stairway trial.”

“The Heavenly Stairway trial… is over?”

Chi Yanli’s heart skipped a beat.

After Feng Xia replied indifferently, he fully mobilized his soul power and injected it into the ancient stairs under his feet. Instantly, his consciousness crossed layers of space and arrived at a dream-like garden.

A clear pond was surrounded by magnificent buildings that were brimming with divine clouds and immortal light. It was like a palace where deities lived.

Occasionally, a few carps would leap out of the pool, creating sparkling water splashes under the sunlight.

If one observed carefully, one would discover that this garden was located in a valley. It was filled with spiritual energy and the terrain was strange. The spiritual energy of the world almost condensed into fog that nourished the strange flowers and plants in the valley. Everyone who came would find it hard not to give praise.

What an otherworldly immortal realm!

...

“I wonder if these plants taste good when cooked… Forget it, it’s not real natural treasures anyway. Even if I eat it, it won’t increase my cultivation.”

Feng Xia shook his head in boredom. He focused his gaze and looked at the figure in the depths of the garden.

At this moment, the other party had obviously noticed Feng Xia as well and turned around, emanating a temperament like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world, with eyes that focused onto Feng Xia.

It was a woman in a white dress. She had a graceful figure and her long hair was bunned up behind her head with a hairpin. When she looked at Feng Xia, she could not help but look surprised.

When he saw the woman’s true appearance, Feng Xia came to a realization.

“So… it’s you.”

Upon hearing Feng Xia’s words, the woman immediately fell silent for a few seconds. Then, in front of Feng Xia, she actually lay down among the flowers and rolled around a few times before closing her eyes.

“As expected… I’m still not awake yet.”
