I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

Chapter 14

Patriarch, Times Have Changed!

Giving him a beautiful smile… not right.

Giving him a warm smile… not right.

Giving him an amiable smile… Still not right!

In short, Bai Canghai felt that even though the young man clearly looked about the same age as him and had a kind smile on his face, he could not help but feel his hair stand on end when the man called out to him.

There was not much of a shocking aura surrounding Feng Xia, but Bai Canghai still could not help but want to keep…

Shuddering.

Shuddering.

“You don’t have to be so scared. If I wanted to get rid of all of you, I wouldn’t have to waste my breath on you.” Feng Xia knew what was going on, so he shook his head in amusement. “I just wanted to ask you something.”

Compared to how high-spirited he looked not long ago, the current Bai Canghai could be said to be a completely different person!

If they were now in the era before Feng Xia transmigrated, someone might have already submitted his photo online with a posting. “Shocking news! Thousand Autumn Valley’s eldest disciple’s public image is ruined!”

Then it would be time for the internet brigade to police the posting for the eldest disciple.

“Then… Senior, please ask your question.”

Seeing that Feng Xia really did not seem to have any ill intentions, Bai Canghai reluctantly nodded and said with a bitter smile, “Senior, what do you want to know?”

“Tell me about Xuanwu Kingdom, then about your Thousand Autumn Valley.”

Feng Xia thought for a moment and did not directly ask what was on his mind. Instead, he shook his head and looked as if he could see through the vast sea of clouds. “After all, I haven’t been concerned with the matters of the world for many years.”

Since Bai Canghai and the others thought of him as an old senior, Feng Xia felt that there was no need for him to deny it. Anyway, he found that it was quite a convenient identity.

However, since he was an old senior who had been out of action for a long time, he had to put on a corresponding persona.

Since this was not a persona that he had personally admitted to, he naturally did not feel any psychological burden for the pretense.

“Our Thousand Autumn Valley was once the number one holy land of Xuanwu Kingdom…”

“Xuanwu Kingdom?” Feng Xia raised his eyebrows, his mild tone revealing a tinge of confusion.

Did he actually have to start with a story from that kind of place?

Bai Canghai was slightly shocked.

This man had never even heard of Xuanwu. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely think that such a person was ignorant and inexperienced… But this was a Champion. How could this man be ignorant and inexperienced?

Therefore, Bai Canghai instantly thought of another possibility.

“Could it be that before this senior went into seclusion… Xuanwu Kingdom has yet to be established?!”

If that was the case, then it was not surprising that Feng Xia knew nothing about Xuanwu Kingdon.

However, the problem was—

“It was 769 years ago that the first Emperor Xuanwu entered the Dao with martial arts and annexed the surrounding countries. After 19 years of war, he finally established Xuanwu Kingdom…”

The founding of Xuanwu Kingdom was more than 700 years ago!

If he was an old antique who was older than Xuanwu Kingdom, how powerful could he be?

Bai Canghai did not know the exact answer, but he knew very well… perhaps Feng Xia’s true power was even stronger than just a Dao Platform Realm Champion!

After all, even divine beings who had reached the Dao Platform Realm could not live for 700 years.

“I see. I’ve never heard of it.”

Feng Xia nodded nonchalantly. Hearing these names, he felt as if he was scrolling through Weibo and reading the news. He would read it today and forget about it tomorrow. No matter how well the news was written, he would only have three reactions.

Heck.

Bookmarked.

Hahahahahaha.

However, when Bai Canghai saw how the man responded, he was even more shocked.

“I can’t believe it’s really…” He could not help but gasp.

This was a terrifying expert from more than 700 years ago, who existed before the Xuanwu Kingdom!

“The Hundred Nether Sect demoness need not feel bitter to be defeated…”

…

On the other side.

After Feng Xia and Zhu Youniang walked out of the Ancient Forsaken Land, the isolated place fell silent again.

Suddenly, countless faint shadows gathered from all directions. Under the shade of an ancient tree, they gradually condensed into the figure of a girl in a black dress.

“Phew… What an interesting fellow.”

Yan Wuyou’s face was quite pale, and her raised chest was heaving up and down. After a long time, she turned to look at the entrance of the Ancient Forsaken Land. Then, she took a deep breath and walked to the deepest part of this isolated place.

Finally, she came to an ancient tree that reached into the clouds.

There was a shallow depression under the ancient tree, which gave a vague hint that someone had sat there for a long time. There were also footprints that had yet to disappear, which led towards the forest in the distance.

When she saw this ancient tree, even someone as calm as Yan Wuyou could not help but breathe heavily.

An unprecedented brilliance appeared in her pale eyes. After that, this notorious demoness of the Hundred Nether Sect suddenly fell to her knees and kowtowed to the ancient tree.

“Yan Wuyou, the sole successor of the Yan Clan of the Three Lives Hall, greets the first Clan Master!”

“You…”

The time ticked by.

Just as Yan Wuyou almost suspected that she had found the wrong place, an ancient voice suddenly sounded, like time was being ripped apart. Yan Wuyou felt her entire body tremble, and then she realized that her surroundings had completely changed.

One moment before, it was a verdant and ancient jungle.

Right now, it was an endless sea of clouds!

On the other side of the sea of clouds, a white-haired figure slowly appeared. Yan Wuyou could not help but feel agitated. She shivered slightly as she looked at that figure without moving. It felt as if there was a surging tide in her chest.

“Young girl… you’re the successor of the Yan Clan?”

“First Ancestor… I’m the 41st successor of the Yan Clan.”

Yan Wuyou replied without any hesitation.

Patriarch Chenhai asked again, “How is the Three Lives Hall?”

This time, Yan Wuyou was silent for a moment. Then, she exhaled and replied stoically, “First Ancestor, the Yan Clan is still around.”

“I can indeed feel the bloodline in you…”

Patriarch Chenhai let out a long sigh. “It’s been 3,000 years. It’s good that there’s still someone around… It’s good that there’s still someone around.”

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Wuyou asked, “May I ask First Ancestor, given that 3,000 years have passed. Can you already…”

“I can’t.”

She was immediately interrupted.

“W-why?”

For the first time, Yan Wuyou turned pale and could not help but cry out.

She had spent so much time and effort to find out where the First Ancestor of the Three Lives Hall was being suppressed. Then, she hid herself within the group from the Thousand Autumn Valley and was almost killed by that mysterious young man… Was it not all because she wanted to welcome the return of the First Ancestor?

In the end, she had really come face to face with the First Ancestor, but he had told her…

It did not matter that you think it was possible, he felt that it was impossible.

“Hmph… Back then, I was schemed against by a bad guy and almost died on the spot. Fortunately, an anonymous expert helped me out. The bad guy had no choice but to suppress me in the Ancient Forsaken Land.”

Patriarch Chenhai snorted. “However, the seal left behind by the bad guy is equally as shameless as him. I’m not just the target of suppression, I’m also the core of the entire sealing arrangement. No matter how much power I accumulate, 90% of it will be absorbed by the arrangement.”

In other words, it was equivalent to him fighting against nine of himself forever!

“More importantly…”

As he spoke, Patriarch Chenhai narrowed his eyes and the image of a young man appeared in front of him. “A few days ago, I tried to break the seal, but unfortunately, I was still a step away. In the end, I failed and even exhausted all the strength that I had accumulated.”

He chose a relatively tactful way to describe the situation.

After all, he had been spun around like a fool by a young man. Not only did he fail to possess the man time and time again, but he had also almost exhausted his remaining strength. Instead, he had allowed the man to learn the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique” and given him a great deal for no reason…

It was too embarrassing to tell this to a junior.

“Damn it! Where did this bastard come from?!” Patriarch Chenhai muttered softly. The more he thought about it, the more indignant he felt.

“Ah, what did you just say, First Ancestor?”

“I’m just talking to myself. However, although I can’t escape now, I can still guide your cultivation and let the Yan Clan have a few more descendants of the Dharma Characteristic Realm. Although I can’t be considered a super expert, I can still do that…”

“Ah?” Yan Wuyou was stunned when she heard that. “What realm is the Dharma Characteristic Realm?”

“Ah?” Patriarch Chenhai was stunned. “You… don’t know? You don’t know what realm the Dharma Characteristic Realm is? As the successor of the Yan Clan, how can you not know when it’s common knowledge…”

Yan Wuyou blushed and said in a low voice, “I… I’m too ignorant.”

“No… Young girl, tell me something. The most powerful person in the outside world… What realm is that person in now?” Patriarch Chenhai finally realized the root of the problem.

“It should be the Primal Core Realm above the Dao Platform Realm…”

“????”

At this moment, Patriarch Chenhai almost vomited blood on the spot. “Primal Core Realm? Before I was suppressed and sealed, hundreds of people of this trashy standard could die with a sneeze from me. Now, you’re telling me a person of this realm is the most powerful?”

Girl, are you kidding me!

Hearing this, Yan Wuyou became even more confused. She muttered, “But even the strongest person in the Yan Clan is only at the Dao Platform Realm. It’s rumored that only an old emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom has reached the Primal Core Realm…”

“Oh heavens—”

Patriarch Chenhai felt the urge to vomit blood grow stronger. “How did the successor of the Three Lives Hall’s Yan Clan end up worse than people from a small country? How guilty! How guilty!”

Yan Wuyou’s face burned, but she did not dare to retort.

After scolding and nagging for a long time, Patriarch Chenhai coughed and said in a hoarse voice, “In that case, all the more you have to stay here and cultivate with me. When you reach the Dharma Characteristic Realm… no, the Primal Core Realm, you can leave.”

“Primal Core Realm? How long do I have to cultivate for?” Yan Wuyou’s face turned pale again.

She had turned pale more times today than in the past year combined!

Patriarch Chenhai smiled noncommittally and said, “Young girl, don’t worry. With my meticulous cultivation, you will definitely be faster and stronger than that kid. When you leave the Ancient Forsaken Land…”

At this point, Patriarch Chenhai suddenly gritted his teeth and spoke sternly.

“You must beat that kid up on my behalf!”
