I picked up the scattered attributes

Feng Xia immediately slapped his forehead, snapping out of his ingrained thinking: "Even some Yuan Dan realm magic treasures can change size. If it's a divine-level magic treasure, then it really can't be judged by its conventional size..."

"But something still doesn't seem right. The Wu Guan that Master spoke of is a rough man, but in your words, Wu Guan is the number one goddess in the world. Where exactly is this mistake?"

Feng Xia rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and then his mind started to wander.

For example, he realized a very critical problem.

"Since you claim that Wu Guan is the number one goddess in the world, why is there no trace of her in the Dream Kingdom?"

Under normal circumstances, a person cannot appear out of thin air.

According to various clues, the "useless" sixteenth prince in the dream is likely the later Chenhai Ancestor. In real history, Lingyun Kingdom fell overnight due to the appearance of the Great Black Hand. The sixteenth prince was lucky to survive and, with a series of coincidences, embarked on a unique path of soul cultivation.

This means that...

If Wu Guan's reputation is so great, he should logically appear in dreams as well.

However, no matter how hard Feng Xia racked his brains, he couldn't find any trace of Wu Guan's existence.

Simply put, this is not scientific!

"He couldn't have just appeared out of thin air, could he?"

"But don't think she just appeared out of thin air."

Feng Xia raised his question, but the next second, the woman shrugged and confirmed this impossible guess: "Wu Guan is a natural saint born from the moon after the destruction of Lingyun Kingdom. In a sense, she is actually the moon goddess."

As she spoke, the woman suddenly waved her hands, her soul power fluctuating, and a screen materialized in front of her.

"This jade screen is a relic from the Lingyun Imperial Palace. When the goddess was born, countless strange phenomena appeared in the world, and this screen happened to face the moon, thus capturing that scene completely."

Swah——

Amidst the surging divine light, a figure leaped onto the screen, her ethereal beauty and extraordinary presence captivating. She wore a simple white dress, her back to the screen, her body appearing slightly ethereal.

Even so, the figure had fair skin and a cold expression, and Feng Xia could still feel a strange sense of holiness, like an immortal who was not accustomed to worldly affairs. People did not even dare to look at him from afar, as if just one glance would fill their hearts with shame.

"Where do you think she got the name 'Wu Guan'?"

The celestial maiden, standing to the side with her arms crossed, chuckled calmly, "So many years have passed, and you still look stunning!"

Feng Xia took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Well, this is a fantastical world where anything can happen. To dwell on whether something is scientific or not in such a place... is a sure way to lose.

Suddenly, his expression shifted slightly, his gaze falling on the woman beside him, and he said with a strange look:

"So here's the question... why are you wearing such revealing clothes?"

"I'm just bored. I'm stuck here and can't get out. Can't I even change my clothes every day?" As she spoke, the woman plopped down again, shaking her head as if searching for something in all directions.

Before Feng Xia could speak, the other person suddenly burst out laughing.

"Feng Xia, you died such a terrible death!"

"what?"

At that moment, Feng Xia had a sudden, inexplicable thought:

In the final days before the Old Ancestor of the Dust Sea was suppressed, the extremely powerful treasure, the Heavenly Ladder, was not by his side. Could it be because the spirit of this artifact was... just too crazy?

If Ancestor Chenhai had already made preparations to fight Wu Guan to the death, he naturally wouldn't have brought along this eccentric spirit.

—What if, before the battle even begins, your own weapon betrays you, and the reason for the betrayal is to seduce the enemy… that would be a laughing stock for eternity!

Thinking of this, Feng Xia rolled her eyes and asked, "What do you mean I died a terrible death?"

The woman raised her hand and pointed to the void, her smile growing wider: "It means exactly what it says. I've been in dreams so many times over the years that I can't distinguish between dreams and reality anymore. So when I first saw you, I even thought I was still dreaming."

"and then?"

"Then you told me that I realized you're actually a real person. So now, looking back at your past experiences, tsk tsk tsk... how many times have you died? And each time the way you died was different. The fact that you haven't broken down yet is nothing short of a miracle. I'm willing to call you the strongest!"

Feng Xia: "..."

At this moment, he became even more certain of one thing.

The spirit of this ladder to heaven is indeed a complete lunatic!

……

Chapter 0325

"They died from falls, from exhaustion, from self-destruction..."

While Feng Xia was still in a daze, the woman had already started counting on her fingers: "These are just the most common ways to die. There are also those who died from qi deviation, those who were slapped into mincemeat, and those who were trapped in restrictions and starved to death..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh again, her eyebrows curving slightly as she stared at Feng Xia with a teasing expression.

Even though she didn't continue speaking, Feng Xia seemed to have already heard those words—

You died such a miserable death!

"No matter how many times you die, it's just in a dream; it can't be real."

Feng Xia twitched the corners of her mouth, her expression gradually returning to calm, and replied with a smile, "Let's get back to Wu Guan's matter. Judging from the current situation, something must have gone wrong..."

"What other problem could there be? It's nothing more than excessive longing, excessive longing, and more excessive longing!"

"If hatred can be considered longing, then it can indeed be called excessive longing."

For a moment, Feng Xia was speechless.

After much persuasion, he finally confirmed one thing with resignation:

The woman who was transformed from the spirit that ascended the ladder to heaven was completely ignorant of what had happened back then—she had truly secluded herself in the same place for over three thousand years!

"Never mind, when I see Master again, I must ask him what happened."

Feng Xia temporarily put aside his hesitation and focused his gaze on the woman: "Then, would you be willing to leave here with me?"

The woman lazily rolled over, lying face down on the grass, her legs swinging back and forth in front of the fan.

"No, I'm lazy."

"You will be able to see Ancestor Chenhai again."

"I have no interest in ordinary old men."

"If you find Ancestor Chenhai, you might be able to see Wuguan as well."

"make a deal!"

Before anyone knew it, the woman had stood up. Without any hesitation, she moved closer to Feng Xia, her nose almost touching his face, and squeezed out a sentence, word by word: "It's a promise, you absolutely have to help me find Wu Guan!"

"make a deal!"

A smile finally appeared on Feng Xia's face.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he felt his progress in refining the Heavenly Ladder suddenly leap forward from 99% to a perfect 100%!

"It's just as I expected!"

Feng Xia's expression shifted slightly as he thought to himself, "The reason I haven't been able to reach perfection isn't because there's a problem with the 'Floating Dream Three Lives Technique' I'm cultivating, nor is it because there's a problem with my refining method, but rather because I haven't gained the approval of this artifact spirit..."

Now that it has gained recognition, everything will fall into place naturally.

"Speaking of which, since you are a spirit who ascended the ladder to heaven, yet you can't remember your own name, how about we call you... Spirit Maiden?"

"This name is alright."

"Actually, I originally wanted to name her Lingling Qi..."

"roll!"

The spirit girl rolled her eyes and turned her back to Feng Xia: "Oh right, I forgot to tell you earlier, although I've temporarily accepted you, don't expect me to help you fight. Unless you run into some big trouble, you'll still have to do it yourself!"

"What?"

"Because I'm lazy!"

"..."

That's a reason that's hard to refute.

In any case, gaining the Spirit Maiden's approval and successfully taking control of the Heavenly Ladder was an unexpectedly great achievement for Feng Xia!

After all, at the beginning, he only wanted to hone himself on the Heavenly Ladder to make up for the short training time.

Now, not only has the initial goal been perfectly achieved, but even the ladder to heaven has been taken away along with it...

It couldn't be more awesome!

Feng Xia glanced at the dazed spirit maiden again, shook her head, and withdrew her consciousness from the inner space of the Heavenly Ladder.

He stayed inside for a long time, but in reality, only a moment passed in the outside world.

At this moment, seeing Feng Xia's lips slowly curl up, Chi Yanli, who was already uneasy, felt his heart almost jump out of his throat.

"Fellow Daoist Xia Donghai?"

He was all too familiar with the smile on Feng Xia's face.

Not long ago, when the other party said they wanted to make a pleasant deal with him and then rip off the Holy Son, they showed the exact same smile!

That kind of smile that makes you feel like you're basking in a spring breeze, and makes you unconsciously believe him!

"Who is he trying to trick this time?!"
