I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes Chapter 9

A Divine Bridge to the Other Side

“To call this thing the Dao Platform… It seems a little too small and the shape is a little off.”

“To call it a brick… it's not as if anyone can manifest a brick when they cultivate, right? Could it be that someone uses a brick as their intrinsic divine weapon?”

The stranger thing was that in line with Feng Xia's understanding over the past few months, when divine beings reached the Dao Platform Realm, the Dao Platform that appeared was essentially just an external manifestation of each person's own cultivation.

Just like there was no wife in wife biscuit, no cotton in cotton candy, and no money in the money bag…

The so-called Dao Platform could also be called Dao Foundation, Spiritual Root, Martial Soul among other names. Throughout a very long time in history, it had at least 17 or 18 distinct names. However, it only started having a fixed name in the present time.

After manifesting the brick, Feng Xia could choose to leave it behind his head or to remove it with his hands. If he wanted to, he could even throw it at other people.

“No matter how I look at it, it looks like a brick…”

For a moment, Feng Xia did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“But from another perspective, since the Inception Realm is the first realm, even if I haven't activated a single Mystical Realm, I should still belong to this realm.”

“In other words, it can be considered an incomplete Inception Realm.”

“Other than that, I can only temporarily use the soul divine power, which means an incomplete Divine Power Realm. A Dao Platform with only one brick is equivalent to an incomplete Dao Platform Realm…”

The more he thought about it and analyzed it carefully, the worse his headache got.

When other people transmigrated to another world, they would usually end up being the young master of a useless family, accompanied by a beautiful younger sister. Then, they would get a cheat code and progress rapidly and end up building a foundation that was a hundred times better than their peers…

When it came to him, he felt like the king of super losers. Not only did he have to pick up attribute points, but even his cultivation realms were all incomplete!

“An incomplete Inception Realm, an incomplete Divine Power Realm, and an incomplete Dao Platform Realm. Why don't I choose a word for my current realm…”

Feng Xia sat under the tallest ancient tree and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he spoke slowly.

“Let's call it Realm Realm Realm… Tsk, I'm still not used to not having silly netizens criticizing me.”

Shaking his head emotionally, Feng Xia calmed his mind down and continued to focus on his cultivation.

For him, cultivating the Dao Platform and then learning the flying divine power was his only hope of leaving the Ancient Forsaken Land!

“Senior Chenhai has fallen into a deep sleep and needs to recover the strength he expended previously. It seems that all the roasted spiders are mine during this period…”

The next day, Feng Xia was about to do what he always did, i.e. washing his face, brushing his teeth, and killing spiders…

However, when he stood up below the ancient tree, his hand seemed to bump into something. He opened his eyes and saw 20 spiders neatly arranged in a row!

“This family is really organized… No, after months of my massacre, have these black jade spiders finally learned to kill themselves in front of me?!”

After subconsciously muttering a few words, Feng Xia suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Previously, he was the one who chased after the black jade spider all over the Ancient Forsaken Land. It seemed to have resulted in the black jade spiders taking the initiative to show up at his door and die there… Then, should he still carry out today's compulsory task?

“Since you've come to my door… I'll take the day off today.”

After considering it for a short while, Feng Xia decisively chose to slack off.

On the one hand, since the black jade spiders could move on their own, he naturally did not want to move too much.

On the other hand, he had recently discovered that the Essence, Poison and Swiftness light balls were becoming less useful to him with an astonishing speed.

In the beginning, absorbing one or two Essence light balls could increase his physical fitness significantly.

Later on, he needed three, then five, then more than ten, to have the same effect.

After a few months, he would need days before he could feel any improvement.

“Perhaps I've absorbed too much and developed resistance to them, or perhaps my current physical fitness level is already relatively high, so the effect of a single attribute light ball on me will eventually become zero…”

Feng Xia tried to think of a relatively reasonable reason.

To get out of this situation, he could think of only two options for now.

He could either increase the quantity by killing more black jade spiders and absorbing more attribute light balls; or he could improve the quality, which was to find a way to leave the Ancient Forsaken Land and find something else to absorb…

“The number of black jade spiders has already decreased a lot. If we increase the intensity of the kill, I'm afraid the population will go extinct. In other words, there's only actually one choice.”

As Feng Xia thought about it, he suddenly realized that everything had circled around to the original issue—

To leave the Ancient Forsaken Land!

How could he leave the Ancient Forsaken Land?

Become stronger!

How can I become stronger without leaving the Ancient Forsaken Land?

Just leave the Ancient Forsaken Land first!

“What the heck, this is such a headache—”

Feng Xia looked up at the sky speechlessly. At the same time, he skillfully started a fire. Soon, following the sound of crackling flame, a sizzling fragrance quickly spread in the air.

At the same time, a slim figure with black hair and white eyes seemed to have been waiting for a long time. She descended from a distant tree with a whoosh and slid past like lightning, raising her hand to grab half the roasted spiders.

“???”

When Feng Xia looked down again, he was confused.

He had only looked up at the sky. How did half the roasted spiders disappear in the blink of an eye?

“Could it be that these spiders can't withstand the heat, so they all decide to revive and slip away…”

However, as soon as Feng Xia turned around, he immediately saw the culprit. A short… a petite girl was squatting on a tree nearby. Her long dark hair hung down and fluttered gently in the breeze.

“Why is it you again?!”

“I said I'd come back again.”

The girl was clutching an empty skewer. She had already eaten her first roasted spider.

She stuck her tongue out and licked the corners of her mouth with a satisfied expression. As she continued to munch on her second roasted spider, her eyes with only the whites, looked in Feng Xia's direction.

“…Are you here to kill me again?” Feng Xia immediately became extremely alert.

“I … Oh, yes. I did come with the intent to kill you.”

The black-haired girl was stunned for a few seconds. Only the slight movements in her throat gave an indication that she was still swallowing her food. It was not until a few seconds later that she changed the topic rather stiffly.

… You just said “oh, yes,” right?

Feng Xia felt as if he was about to be drowned by criticism. A mysterious girl who said that she wanted to kill him actually needed him to take the initiative to remind her to kill him?

“But until then…” The girl paused and raised her smooth chin slightly, as if weighing her words. “I will drain you completely.”

Feng Xia: “?”

Young lady, since you can talk, why don't you talk more?

“So … what do you want to do now?”

When he saw that she was still squatting on the treetop and showed no signs of attacking, Feng Xia heaved a sigh of relief and thought, “This girl really doesn't seem very smart…”

“Eat.”

The girl still had food in her mouth and mumbled a word incoherently.

Alright.

However, just when he finished eating a skewer of roasted spider, the girl had already finished eating all her skewers. Her listless eyes immediately locked onto Feng Xia.

“These are mine!”

Feng Xia became alert again.

Seeing that she did not succeed, the girl immediately rolled her eyes and puffed out her chest unhappily. She snorted and said, “What's so great about it? If I didn't take the initiative… Huh? What is that—”

The moment she turned around, Feng Xia had also sensed the abnormality.

He looked up at the distant sky. At the edge of the Ancient Forsaken Land, the deep abyss formed a barrier. Past the abyss, there was only an endless sea of clouds.

Now, in the depths of that distant sea of clouds, there was a sudden golden light.

At first glance, the golden light was still extremely far away, but in the next moment, the golden light had become incomparably thick. It was like a divine bridge that connected the heavens and the earth, dazzlingly crossing the entire vast sea of clouds!

Kaboom—

Amidst the violent tremors, the sea of clouds split into two.

Divine light forged a path, the clouds parted and the sky appeared. There appeared a divine bridge that led to the other side!

“What the hell!” Feng Xia was shocked. “Senior Chenhai! Senior Chenhai! Come out and take a look! The Ancient Forsaken Land seems to have opened up!”

However, Patriarch Chenhai was in a deep sleep and clearly could not hear Feng Xia calling out to him.

Shortly after this, an excited voice came from the other side of the Divine Light Bridge.

“We did it! The ancient records were right. Every 3,600 years, the legendary Ancient Forsaken Land will open up. Everyone… our opportunity has arrived!”

That laughter was filled with boldness. Even though Feng Xia had yet to see the person's face, he could deeply feel… the high spirits that came from the depths of his soul!

“Gentlemen… our time has come!”

At the end of the golden bridge, a graceful figure in white finally appeared in Feng Xia's line of sight.

It was a handsome young man dressed in white. He walked with his head held high and looked very joyful.

“The Ancient Forsaken Land has finally opened up… All the opportunities here will finally belong to my Thousand Autumn Valley!”

Feng Xia was instantly on high alert.

Based on what this person said, it seemed like he wanted to farm the Ancient Forsaken Land like a game dungeon?

If that was the case, did that mean that he would become a non-playing character in the dungeon?

“And this so-called Thousand Autumn Valley… It sounds like it's not to be trifled with…”

Feng Xia's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this.

He suddenly realized a problem…

Although he already had some understanding of the outside world from Patriarch Chenhai, the information that Patriarch Chenhai had… was still something from 3,000 years ago!

The outside world had already developed for a full 3,000 years. Who knew what it looked like now?

According to Patriarch Chenhai, before he was suppressed, the world was already filled with Dao Platforms…

“This information is slightly too outdated.”

At this moment, more figures walked onto the Divine Light Bridge. Most of them were young and could not hide their excitement. They looked at the Ancient Forsaken Land in the distance and discussed non-stop.

Heck it, is it even a dungeon raid team?

Feng Xia could not help his expression from darkening, when suddenly a chattering voice stood out among the noisy crowd.

“Eldest Brother, if you can get an earth-shattering opportunity in the Ancient Forsaken Land, you will definitely be able to become a powerhouse of the Inception Realm this time, right?”

“?”

Feng Xia stumbled and almost fell.
