I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

Just Slightly Less Talented Than the Patriarch

“Senior, why won’t I dare to come back?”

Feng Xia felt stunned as he stepped into the space that was filled with clouds.

The previously blurry memories seemed to have found an inlet. In an instant, the memories surged into Feng Xia’s mind in waves.

After a while, Feng Xia’s lips twitched imperceptibly, revealing a sincere smile. He spoke in a confused linguistic style that would make any language teacher angry:

“Senior, you’ve helped me so much. Your kindness will always be remembered by this kid. How can I dare to not return? Do you think this kid is that kind of person?”

“￥...%!)(!*#@”

You do look like that kind of person. And I think you dare to do anything!

And does this kid have no sense of danger?

What I want to do is to possess you! Possess you! Possess you!

I must emphasize the fact three times due to its importance.

Not only do I want to snatch your body, but I also want to devour your soul. You are making it very hard for me when you face me with such a sincere expression and treat me like your senior.

“What the hell is wrong with this kid?”

After pondering for a long time, Patriarch Chenhai still could not figure out why Feng Xia was feeling so excited. Could it be that this kid did not know he was about to die?

When this kid escaped the last time, it was purely accidental. He did not expect that this kid not only had innate divine strength, but his spiritual strength was also far superior to ordinary people. He actually broke free from the shackles of the soul seed!

However, Feng Xia would definitely not be able to escape this time!

“Senior, for the past few days, I’ve been trying to find a way to leave the place. However, no matter which direction I head in, I’ll eventually be blocked by a natural chasm…”

Feng Xia then deliberated his words carefully and said sincerely, “That’s why I specially came to ask you if there’s a way to leave this place?”

“A way out of this place?”

Hearing what Feng Xia said, the corners of Patriarch Chenhai’s mouth curled up into a mocking smile. “As that bastard Wu Guan’s successor, since you can enter this place safely, how dare you come and ask me… regarding how you can leave this damn place?”

So who exactly is Wu Guan?

I have nothing to do with him!

When Feng Xia heard this, he felt as if there was something stuck in his throat. He could neither spit it out nor swallow it and it felt really uncomfortable.

“There’s something you don’t know, senior.”

Many thoughts flashed through his mind and Feng Xia suddenly had an idea. He smiled and said, “Although I’m the successor of that Wu Guan, I’m the least valued among all his disciples. Otherwise, why would he send me here?”

“Oh, you’re not entirely wrong about that…”

“You are so wise!”

Seeing that the person was showing some signs of relenting, Feng Xia immediately struck while the iron was hot and made full use of his bragging ability. In an instant, he came up with a complete story. “In fact, many years ago, old man Wu Guan already rarely showed himself in front of others. The internal affairs were all handled by his disciples. As I have very few people in my team, we are often bullied by the other teams…”

Feng Xia’s voice was low, as if he was recalling painful memories.

—In fact, he was just racking his brains to remember all the novels he had read before.

A moment later.

“I see! I see…”

Patriarch Chenhai suddenly raised his voice and sneered, “Heh, it’s just as I expected. Even after 3,000 years, Wu Guan is still not a good person!”

Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say is right!

Feng Xia secretly apologized to the senior named Wu Guan who he had never met before.

I’m sorry, but I’ll still do it again.

“Kid, since you’ve been bullied by your fellow disciples and forced to enter this Ancient Forsaken Land without any way to escape, why don’t you just betray your master!”

Patriarch Chenhai seemed to have thought of something interesting and suddenly chuckled. “You’re trapped here and so am I. We can be said to be in the same boat! Therefore, if you’re willing, I can teach you a peerless technique. Once you cultivate it successfully, you’ll have a good chance of leaving this Ancient Forsaken Land!”

That technique was called the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique”. The soul seed he used previously was also a divine power from the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique”.

Once one mastered the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique”, one’s soul would become incomparably powerful. Creating dreams and entering others’ dreams would be nothing difficult. One could even use one’s mind to distort reality and perform all kinds of unbelievable divine power!

There were a total of nine cultivation levels, and every level completed meant a huge leap in abilities.

It was not an easy task to possess another person.

If one’s soul was not strong enough, it would simply dissipate after leaving one’s body. Otherwise, it was also not impossible for one’s soul to be swallowed by the target being possessed.

“Hehe, kid, do you want to learn it?” Patriarch Chenhai chuckled, as if he was in no hurry at all. “Back then, that bastard Wu Guan wanted to learn my ultimate technique, but I kicked him out. If I hadn’t been trapped until now, you wouldn’t be qualified enough to have the chance to learn it.”

Of course, the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique” that he intended to teach Feng Xia was not the complete version. Instead, it was a special modified version which had 12 flaws!

As soon as this young man completed the first level, the twelve flaws would become locked and ready and the kid would completely fall within his control.

By then, escaping 3,000 years of suppression would no longer be an extravagant wish!

Ancient Forsaken Land?

Based on the name alone, it did not sound like a nice place… Feng Xia frowned subconsciously, but his eyes lit up when he heard the second part of what the patriarch said.

The senior was indeed a very kind person!

Knowing that he lacked actual combat experience, the senior had thrown moves at him and practiced with him in the dream. Now that the senior knew he lacked skills and the basic understanding of the power of this world, the senior was going to teach him his own unique technique…

Where can you find such helpful people?

“Yes, of course I want to learn it! Why not?”

After some thought, Feng Xia agreed and said sincerely, “I hope you will teach me.”

“Hahahaha! Wu Guan, Wu Guan! I really wish I could see your expression! I don’t think you’ll ever expect that your successor will be kidnapped by me, and even…”

Patriarch Chenhai laughed loudly. His laughter was like thunder, making the sea of clouds churn.

The next moment, the wild laughter stopped abruptly. Feng Xia noticed that the surrounding sea of clouds had become still, as if everything had been frozen in place. In the depths of the vast sea of clouds, a pair of eyes seemed to have manifested out of nowhere and they shone like specks of fire!

“Kid… My cultivation technique is not that easy to learn!”

“If you want to learn the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique”, you have to pass my test first!”

Swoosh—

Two streaks of divine light flew out and struck Feng Xia between the eyebrows!

Boom!

Feng Xia felt as if there were 1,000 or 10,000 explosions next to his ears. He was already in a dream, but at this moment, he seemed to have fallen into another completely new dream. Dreamy and blurry lights appeared one after another, completely filling up his vision.

He involuntarily sat cross-legged, and looked as if he had fallen into a deeper dream.

“Heh! Hehe! I don’t care if you’re really being ostracized or if Wu Guan sent you to test me. Since you’re able to break free from my dream, your soul must be extraordinarily talented. You’d likely master the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique” in half the amount of time needed…”

The faster the kid learned the incomplete “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique”, the more the kid would not be able to escape his control!

“If you want to learn this cultivation technique, you have to wake up from the dream on your own and take back control of the dream. Back then, I spent seven days and seven nights and almost starved to death before I was enlightened at the critical moment.”

Patriarch Chenhai fixed his gaze on Feng Xia. “Apart from his innate divine strength, this kid’s soul is also quite powerful. However, it’s still a little weaker than mine back then. Well, it’s better than nothing. It’s been 3,000 years in this godforsaken place that not even a dog wants to come. I definitely can’t miss this chance!”

Inside a light halo that looked more dreamlike than light reflected from glass, Feng Xia was fully focused and on high alert.

“From this senior’s tone, I’m sure this test won’t be easy to pass… Eh?”

As a person born in modern society, Feng Xia naturally understood very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world—

He suddenly caught his breath and looked strangely at a light ball with a faint golden glow not far away. It rolled silently to his feet.

A few words appeared on the light ball:

“Floating Dream Three Lives Technique: Incomplete Version”

“Eh? What is this?” Feng Xia’s expression became a little strange as he recognized the origin of the light ball at a glance. “Didn’t he say it was a test? Then why did an attribute light ball just drop down?”

He looked ahead and saw more balls of light falling down out of nowhere.

In the blink of an eye, many more attribute light balls rolled towards his feet. Feng Xia counted a total of twelve of them.

Feng Xia carefully touched one of them. The attribute light ball immediately turned into a stream of light and entered his fingertip. At the same time, an incomplete fragment of the cultivation technique became imprinted in his mind.

“These fragments …”

He glanced at the fragments on the ground and immediately accelerated his rate of absorption.

A day passed quickly. After absorbing the 12 light balls, a complete version of the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique” appeared in Feng Xia’s mind.

It coalesced into the form of an ancient book, suspended in Feng Xia’s mind. It shone with golden light and, even though it had no real form, it presented itself in a way that it could be seen.

As for the profundity of the “Floating Dream Three Lives Technique”, due to the short period of time, Feng Xia was only able to comprehend the first three levels. Furthermore, comprehending it was one thing, but whether he could “understand” it and its specifics, that would depend on his subsequent cultivation.

After all, this cultivation technique had a total of twelve levels!

Every time he completed a level, he would be able to master a great divine power. If he could successfully cultivate it to the max, he could enter the Dao in his dreams and could change the world with a dream. He would become a god!

Feng Xia found his own vocabulary lacking and could only come up with one word:

Awesome!

However, at this moment, Feng Xia’s entire attention was focused on another matter:

“Strange. Is this the end? What happened to the test?”

He had finished learning the cultivation technique and comprehended it. Was there going to be a test?

However…

Where was the test?

Let the test appear quickly!

“Well, it doesn’t feel right to just go out like this. It’s a little like handing in your paper too early in the examination hall… Why don’t I wait another day… Maybe the senior forgot about it?”

Feng Xia calmed his thoughts and began his first cultivation.

In the world outside.

“The second day has already passed, and the kid is still unresponsive. Is it still not… eh?”

Patriarch Chenhai, who was observing the situation carefully, suddenly noticed that the young man’s eyes fluttered abruptly and opened slowly. An indescribable rainbow light flashed past his eyes, as bright as the stars and yet also as deep as an abyss..

“Senior, I have comprehended it.”

The young man smiled at him and said.

…
