I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

354 Only Children Make Choices

“If I can find some information, then I didn’t come for nothing.”

Feng Xia calmed himself down and looked around, taking in the sight of all the relief carvings and murals on the wall. After a while, he could not help but sigh. “What a pity. The murals on the wall are really badly damaged…”

Even if he looked through all the remaining relief carvings and murals, he did not obtain much useful information.

The only thing he knew was that the owner of this space seemed to be the person who met the Lingyun Emperor.

On the murals, this expert was called…

“Emperor”!

This turned out to be quite interesting.

After all, this person was from the same era as the Lingyun Emperor.

Back then, Lingyun Kingdom was like the sun in the sky. All the land under the sky belonged to the king; all the people living in the land bounded by the shores were the king’s citizens. As long as one was within the boundary of Lingyun Kingdom, there was only one emperor, the only emperor!

Even the leaders of the four great clans—the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise— only dared to call themselves kings and never dared to be associated with the word “Emperor.”

However, the owner of this mysterious space dared to do so!

“The information recorded on the murals is limited. I wonder if Brother Lu’s cultivation was still incomplete when he came here, or if the other party’s cultivation was indeed on par with him or even surpassed him?”

The former situation was relatively easy to understand.

As the saying went, one must be adaptable and know what to say in different situations.

Even if it was the Lingyun Emperor Lu Tiancheng, it was not impossible for him to concede to someone else when his cultivation was still incomplete.

If it was the latter situation, then it might be much more complicated.

“Within the boundary of Lingyun Kingdom, there are most likely no experts who can call themselves emperors. Then, the other party is very likely from outside Lingyun Kingdom, or maybe even outside this Profound Origin World.”

Outside the Profound Origin World!

At the thought of this possibility, Feng Xia felt a headache coming on.

When he was in the dream realm, he had also come into contact with some forces from outside the Profound Origin World, such as the Soaring Immortal Sect, Starmoon Demon Sect, Xuantian Sect, among others.

Among them, he understood the Xuantian Sect the best.

Therefore, he knew very well that none of these forces from outside were easy to deal with.

If one was strong enough, they might retreat or become an ally. However, if one was weak, they would definitely bare their fangs and devour one’s flesh!

This was because at the end of the day, both sides came from different worlds, belonged to different races, had different civilizations, and even their world views and values were completely different!

One might think that the other party was strong and reliable, but the other party might think that one was delicious!

“But at least from these murals, the communication between the two sides seems relatively pleasant. They must have come to some unspeakable deal. I wonder, after all these years…”

Did the deal still stand?

After 3,000 years, was the other party’s attitude towards Lingyun Kingdom still the same, or had there been a change long ago?

“No matter what, since we’re already here, we have to make a trip.”

Feng Xia grinned instinctively and revealed a bright smile.

However, he soon realized that he was still in the form of the black jade spider. The smile on his face now seemed a little sinister and terrifying.

“In that case, these insects don’t seem to be targeting me. Instead, they have been heading towards the end of this passageway… from the beginning?”

Feng Xia suddenly realized something and thoughtfully said, “In other words, I didn’t need to run so hard earlier?”

As he thought about it, he shook his head again. “I don’t think so. I can feel a strong sense of hostility from these insects. If not for the changes I made using the Mysterious Art of Creation, the battle might have already started.”

Since nothing happened, no matter how he hypothesized, it could only be a resounding afterthought.

Finally, just as his thoughts were running wild, this winding passageway finally came to an end.

It was a stone door covered in strange patterns. At first glance, it looked like cracks caused by a blast. However, if one looked carefully, one would think that it was a spiderweb.

Just as Feng Xia was hesitating, the swarm had already arrived in front of the door. They stopped in an orderly manner and looked in the direction of the door together. They were like an army waiting to be inspected, and they no longer behaved as crazily as before.

“Did these insects come here to…”

Feng Xia’s heart skipped a beat as a bold idea appeared in his mind.

Since the old men and women outside the village might be the remnants of the Lingyun Kingdom era, could an expert who was willing to cooperate with the Lingyun Emperor be the same…

“Back then, I already suspected and thought about what happened to those experts from more than 3,000 years ago? Logically speaking, some should have survived!”

Reality was often so unexpected.

In the past, he had never met any of them other than Patriarch Chenhai.

At this moment, he seemed to have encountered a large group, and among them… there was a super powerful one!

“Who lives for 1,000 years? How does one survive after 10,000 years?”

At this moment, a long and lonely lament with a trace of sadness seemed to have crossed the ages. Like a drop of ink dripping into a pond, it slowly spread out and rippled.

Feng Xia’s hair stood on end, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

Had he… been discovered?

“No, this voice isn’t directed at me!”

Soon, Feng Xia heaved a sigh of relief because he heard the voice continue, “Little girls, have you made up your mind? Do you want to leave this world with me and live forever, or do you want to stay and fall from grace and be destroyed in the blink of an eye?”

Wow, usually, those people who appeared with their own poems and songs were all master experts hovering in the background!

Feng Xia immediately thought of something.

“Can it be that the voice behind the door… is the ‘Emperor’ on the mural?”

...

“That doesn’t seem right either. If the other party is the ‘Emperor’, with the strength that was depicted on the murals, he should have long discovered my arrival…”

Feng Xia’s thoughts raced.

Let us see what was going on first!

Feng Xia focused his attention and heard another voice coming from behind the stone door. This time, it was the voice of the girl that Feng Xia was familiar with. “We’ve already made a decision.”

“Oh? Since you’ve already made your decision…”

Feng Xia’s heart skipped a beat.

Zhu Youniang continued in a giggling voice.

“Xia once said that only children make choices. A mature adult will, of course, choose… all of them!”
