I picked up the scattered attributes

An increasingly intense sense of despair welled up in my heart.

Pfft!

The Holy Son collapsed to the ground, weeping bitterly in despair.

"Xia Donghai... I, the Holy Son, am not finished with you..."

……

"Huh, that's it?"

Outside, the moment the lotus flower burst forth with light, Long Da instinctively tried to leap far away.

However, he then realized that nothing seemed to have happened.

"Feng Xia, the tricks you left behind haven't failed yet, have they?"

Long Da cautiously looked around, and as soon as he spoke, he noticed something was wrong: the Holy Son Ying Daoyi, who should have been furious, was not reacting at all!

There was neither anger nor curses.

He just stood there blankly, and although his physical body still had a breath, he seemed to have lost his soul and no longer made the slightest movement.

"You... destroyed his soul?"

This scene caused Long Da to catch his breath, and he asked with great difficulty.

In his view, only by destroying the Holy Son's soul could this effect be achieved; otherwise, how could the Holy Son's current state be explained?

The only problem is...

Destroying the Holy Son's soul is virtually impossible!

Before this, how many times had the Holy Son been killed by Feng Xia, and each time he was completely annihilated, body and soul?

But in the end, this guy was still able to revive from the annihilation, just as the cycle of life and death that people talk about had long lost all meaning for him!

"That's not the case. If I could destroy his soul, I wouldn't need to go through all this trouble."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xia chuckled and said, "If you look closely, you'll see that I didn't destroy his soul. In fact, I didn't directly attack his soul either. Instead, I trapped his consciousness within the supernatural power."

"Consciousness... trapped within supernatural powers?"

Long Da was stunned: "This is actually possible? What's the difference between trapping consciousness and trapping the soul?"

"The difference is small, but you could also say it's big."

Feng Xia said leisurely, "Directly attacking the soul is extremely difficult. The slightest mistake will lead to failure. However, if it's just a temporary attack, the difficulty and risk are much lower. Not only that, it also becomes more secretive and unpredictable..."

The more Feng Xia talked, the more animated he became. Even through the spider web, Long Da could hear the soaring spirit in his voice: "In my imagination, this is a great supernatural power of the soul path, but to be more precise, when it evolves to a higher level, it may become a great supernatural power of the Dao heart!"

"What the hell is this 'Great Divine Power of the Dao Heart'..."

After exchanging only a few words with Feng Xia, Long Da felt like he was listening to gibberish.

who am I?

Where am I?

what am i doing?

He hurriedly interrupted Feng Xia, saying, "Stop, stop, stop! Forget about your great supernatural powers and just tell me, how long can this thing last?"

"It can last a long time, or it may only last for a moment."

After a moment's consideration, Feng Xia replied with some hesitation, "The exact duration depends on the level of this Holy Son's Dao Heart cultivation."

“If the Holy Son has a pure mind and a firm Dao heart, then it won’t be long before he can break free from the shackles of the Nine Lotus Heavenly Heart Prison.”

"Conversely, the weaker his Dao heart is and the more chaotic his mind is, the deeper he will sink into this supernatural power until he exhausts all his mental strength."

While the Azure Dragon incarnation was seeking opportunities to improve its cultivation, Feng Xia, the true body of the Azure Dragon incarnation, was also not idle in seclusion in the Purple Mansion between the Azure Dragon incarnation's eyebrows.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to digest the divine object "Seven Soul Essence Crystal", he not only comprehended the deeper mysteries after the transformation of his soul, but also absorbed the mysteries of the three major techniques "Floating Dream Three Lifetimes Technique", "Heavenly Pattern Divine Embryo Record" and "Azure Bright Nine Heavens Diagram". Finally, he created this great divine power "Nine Lotus Heavenly Heart Prison"!

And the Holy Son Yingdaoyi was his first experimental subject.

In the instant before finally killing the Holy Son, Feng Xia secretly planted the Nine Lotus Heavenly Heart Prison Divine Power deep within his soul.

Under normal circumstances, the Holy Son might have noticed that something was wrong.

However, during the period between the Holy Son's avatar being killed and his resurrection in a new backup body, his consciousness will remain in a state of ignorance, completely unaware of the abnormality in his soul.

It now appears that this new supernatural power is quite effective!

"It looks like this guy won't wake up anytime soon, which gives us enough time."

After a moment, Feng Xia finally revealed a bright smile: "Long Da, when are you coming to climb the Heavenly Ladder?"

"How dare you ask an old man such a question?!"

……

Chapter 0288

After severing his connection with Long Da, Feng Xia turned his attention back to the Heavenly Ladder.

During the time his attention was diverted, more demonic beasts ascended the Heavenly Ladder. Bathed in the dreamlike and enchanting divine light, even those with ferocious appearances seemed somewhat sacred and extraordinary.

"This is the difference between high-end special effects and cheap special effects..."

He uttered a sigh that no one could understand, then smiled slightly, turned around and nodded to Zhu Youniang, Qinglin, and Bai Xiao, Mo Lianque and others in the distance.

Only after that did he truly relax and merge into the divine light of the Heavenly Ladder!

Boom——

In that instant, Feng Xia felt as if a thousand or ten thousand explosions had occurred in his mind, and his body and soul were trembling violently, as if the surrounding world was frantically rejecting his existence!

"Holy crap, what's going on—"

Feng Xia only had time to cry out in surprise before she completely lost consciousness.

……

Lingyun Kingdom.

The capital city.

On this day, the streets and alleys of the entire capital of Lingyun Kingdom were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the atmosphere was festive. Even newcomers to the place would be unconsciously infected by this atmosphere.

Today is a very special day!

The sixteenth prince of the Lingyun Kingdom, after a three-year gestation period, is finally about to be born today!

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor had already announced to the whole country three months in advance that after the birth of the sixteenth prince, the entire country would hold a grand banquet for seven days and seven nights to entertain countless guests from all over the country.

Regardless of status or origin, anyone willing to offer their blessings to the Sixteenth Prince is a guest of His Majesty the Emperor!

Time passed slowly, and more and more powerful individuals were invited to attend.

Some of them came to the capital in person, while others sent their spirits out of their bodies, their consciousness traveling thousands of miles, all to celebrate the sixteenth prince's birthday.

Above the capital of Lingyun Kingdom, one can often see long bridges spanning the sky, connecting heaven and earth, as if linking to another world. Powerful figures with an aura that can suppress heaven and earth cross the divine bridges and descend into the royal palace of Lingyun Kingdom.

Among these powerful figures who arrived, some were established overlords who had been famous for many years, some were hermits who had been living in seclusion for many years, and some were leaders of powerful clans.

"The Venerable Taizhen has arrived, presenting the Sixteenth Prince with a congratulatory gift—a Divine Transformation Screen."

"The Hermit of Mysterious Seclusion has arrived, bringing thirty catties of purple bamboo branches as a congratulatory gift for the Sixteenth Prince—"

One name after another emanated from the direction of the palace, constantly becoming new topics of conversation among the many people in the capital.

At that moment, the sky and earth suddenly darkened simultaneously in the four directions: east, west, south, and north.

"Who is this powerful figure who has arrived? Such an overbearing aura!" A passerby couldn't help but feel shocked.

However, before they could say anything, a deafening roar suddenly came from the Yuanqing River in the north, as if the entire Yuanqing River had been lifted into the sky!

Amidst those terrifying waves, a colossal figure, entwined with a tortoise and a snake, rode the waves, emanating an incredibly heavy and terrifying aura.

"Ha ha……"

The figure chuckled, his voice aged, "I didn't expect the other three fellow Daoists to come as well. This is truly a rare and grand occasion."

"Hey, I thought you coward wouldn't come out."

Another figure walked in from the east, his aura surging and sharp. He sneered at the person from before, "Today is the birthday of the Sixteenth Prince. Since that fellow Lu Tiancheng personally invited us, we should give Emperor Lingyun face."

crackling-

Almost at the same time, a figure engulfed in flames arrived, followed closely by a white tiger with eyes gleaming with lightning!

"So those four are here too!"

"With these four holy figures personally present, our Sixteenth Prince is truly honored!"

Countless lives in the country were shaken.

At the same time, a strong sense of pride filled everyone's hearts!

Only their emperor could possibly manage to summon all four deities at the same time!

Before long, the oppressive force in the sky dissipated, and from the direction of the palace, four unified voices rang out one after the other:

"King Qinglong of the East wishes the Sixteenth Prince a long and healthy life, and that he may be born with divine virtue!"
