Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 431 - 427: A Dream of 100,000 Years, Collective Breakthrough
In the following days, Xia Feng directly trained with the girls inside the Dream Realm Pearl.
To avoid wasting time and having some plans of his own, Xia Feng allowed the girls to claim they had sensed a breakthrough barrier in their respective Divine Domains, so they all declared seclusion training.
It’s known that the duration of a Martial Artist’s seclusion can vary; some may break through in ten days to half a month, while others may not emerge for three to five years.
The Divine Kings of the other Nine Great Divine Domains reacted differently but ultimately agreed to the girls’ requests.
After all, since the ten women ascended from the Lower Realm, their cultivation progress had been genuinely fast with the help of the Dream Realm Pearl.
So the Divine Kings simply assumed the girls had just broken through to the Profound Tier First Layer Martial God, preparing to solidify their realm.
Once everyone gathered inside the Dream Realm Pearl, Xia Feng also brought Father Xia and Mrs. Xia inside.
The girls looked at Xia Feng, seemingly puzzled as to why he brought them all into the Dream Realm Pearl.
Xia Feng paused, not revealing his audacious idea, as they hadn’t yet entered the Secret Realm, and whether they could succeed still required a trial.
He forced a smile: "Grandfather, Qingxue, and I will enter the Holy Sword Secret Realm to seek opportunities in a few days."
"I’m afraid of what happened last time in the Infinite Secret Realm—getting so busy I couldn’t speak to you."
"After all, danger can arise at any time in a Secret Realm, and if something really happens when I enter, I might not even have time to notify you."
The girls couldn’t care to question further, each cautioning Xia Feng in turn.
"You don’t need to be so pessimistic; it’s just a Secret Realm, not that dangerous."
"As long as you don’t covet the inheritances, it’s just an ordinary treasure-seeking Secret Realm."
"Moreover, with the Celestial Sword Divine King supporting you, even those with ill intentions must think twice."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingxue displayed a slight bitter smile.
Sun Yazhu, always sensitive, saw her expression and stepped forward, worriedly holding her hand.
"Qingxue, what’s wrong? Are you facing any difficulties?"
Sun Yazhu felt a bit puzzled because Xia Feng was right beside Li Qingxue; what difficulty could she have?
Could the Celestial Sword Divine King be pressuring Xia Feng and them?
The other girls simultaneously considered this issue, looking over with slight worry.
"Husband, you’re all right, aren’t you?"
Xia Feng quickly explained: "Everything’s fine, everything’s fine—speaking of which, I obtained the Ten Directions Killing Mirror in the Infinite Secret Realm before."
"When I left the Infinite Secret Realm, the Wuji Divine Monarch even mentioned this Ten Directions Killing Mirror."
"The more people there are, the more powerful the Killing Mirror becomes. I figured it would be perfect for my beloved wives."
The girls’ attention quickly shifted to the Ten Directions Killing Mirror. The Wuji Divine Monarch used supreme power to elevate this Killing Mirror to a top-grade secret treasure level when Xia Feng exited the Infinite Secret Realm.
Sun Yazhu still looked worriedly at Xia Feng, but seeing his usual expression and his nodding smile, she relaxed.
No matter what happens, she believes her husband is capable of handling it.
In five days outside, fifty thousand years passed inside the Dream Realm Pearl.
Even though Xia Feng usually didn’t care much for his cultivation realm, at this point, he felt a bit anxious.
He had been stuck at the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God Realm for fifty thousand years; counting previous breakthroughs, one might say he had been stuck for nearly a million years.
Xia Feng knew he practiced too many paths and sensed that although he hadn’t broken through, his foundation was becoming increasingly solid.
But he still felt slightly imbalanced, even wondering if he’d ever reach the Celestial God Realm.
Beside him, Li Qingxue reached out to hold his hand: "Husband, don’t rush—building a stable foundation is more important than chasing a hollow level."
"Look, compared to the you from a few days ago in the ring, aren’t you completely different now?"
Xia Feng paused, then forced a smile: "I get what you mean."
"I was too impatient."
In these fifty thousand years within the Dream Realm Pearl, Xia Tianming cultivated to the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God.
Li Qingxue, through dual cultivation insights into the Heaven-Burying Divine Technique and occasional sword technique feedback from the Sword Spirit, progressed exceptionally fast.
Now she had also broken through to the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God, while the other nine women reached the Celestial Tier First Layer Martial God.
Initially, Xia Feng worried they might get jealous, but Sun Yazhu found time to comfort him.
"Husband, we’re about to enter the Holy Sword Secret Realm. The nine of us can’t accompany you, only Qingxue will be with you."
"So her stronger cultivation makes us more at ease."
"Our sisterly relationship is strong; we won’t get jealous over such things."
Feeling both bittersweet and proud, Xia Feng embraced each of the girls, his determination intensified.
Even Father Xia and Mrs. Xia reached the Yellow Tier Ninth Layer Martial God in those fifty thousand years.
The Holy Sword Divine Domain is about to open.
The girls circled Xia Feng with concern, offering numerous reminders.
"Husband, remember, nothing’s more important than your life."
"Though there are inheritances in the Secret Realm, obtaining them often comes at the cost of one’s life, and the Holy Sword Divine Emperor belongs to the Li Family—they might not hand the inheritance to outsiders."
"Qingxue should have some advantage, but caution is still wise."
Xia Feng nodded, lightly replying, "Really, you’ve said these things how many times?"
Exasperated, Sun Yazhu spoke: "I know you’re eager, but my father often said many Martial Gods were stuck at the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer for millions of years without progress."
"Compared to them, your talent is remarkable, husband. Given the numerous paths you cultivate, your journey is naturally more challenging."
Xia Feng squeezed her hand, suddenly turning: "Don’t worry, we’re off."
After saying this, he withdrew his divine soul, exiting the Infinite Secret Realm.
The other girls’ figures gradually vanished from the Secret Realm, reappearing in their respective Divine Domains.
This time, in only five days of seclusion, they advanced so much but didn’t plan to leave seclusion, wary of the Divine Kings’ scrutiny, which could reveal Xia Feng’s treasure.
Thus, the girls chose to continue their seclusion unanimously.
