Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 441 - 437: Xia Feng’s Wild Fantasies

Xia Qingyang’s expression was somewhat dazed, as if he hadn’t expected to suddenly appear here.

"Back already?"

He looked around in confusion at his surroundings; the scent of the lit Calming Incense from before hadn’t dissipated yet.

"How long have we been gone?"

Xia Qingyang glanced up at the timing board, shocked to find that he had only been away for more than a day.

"This... how is this possible?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Although there were no concrete memories, he felt like he had spent an eternity in the Secret Realm.

Yet the dated calendar on the board, and his own cultivation, all told him that this was not a dream.

"I’ve become a Martial God?"

All around him, the past Emperors Xia were waking up, each one expressing similar sentiments.

Last to awaken were Father Xia and Mrs. Xia, who also looked dazed when they opened their eyes.

Xia Qingyang thought something had happened to them and went over, puzzled, to lend a helping hand: "What’s wrong? Why do you look like this?"

Xia Naiwen opened his mouth, taking a long time before regaining his senses and voice: "Feng’er said to find ten thousand of the Great Xia’s elite, the most... the most loyal ones."

Xia Qingyang caught the implicit meaning and stood there in a daze for a moment, then finally came to his senses.

"Can he... even with ten thousand?"

The words came out in fragments, but Xia Naiwen understood and nodded: "The time may be short, not enough to elevate them to Martial God, but they can certainly reach Martial Saint."

"For those with stronger talents, even the Peak of Martial Sovereign isn’t impossible."

Xia Naiwen gulped, and after recovering, quickly went to organize suitable candidates.

Choosing the right candidates would take some time, but Xia Feng in the Holy Sword Secret Realm looked somewhat wistful.

"One step at a time."

Sun Yazhu looked puzzled: "Husband, I still don’t understand what you’re planning."

"The Great Xia has no enemies on the Celestial Essence Continent anymore, why elevate the cultivation of all the elders to such a degree?"

"Moreover, it’s not just the elders; you’re even planning to elevate the elite of the Great Xia by a level."

"If their cultivation rises too high, there’s a chance some might develop ulterior motives."

Xia Feng smiled with his eyes, turning to look at her: "It’s alright, as long as the ancestors’ cultivation can suppress these people."

Beside them, Xiao Qingxue spoke, somewhat thoughtfully: "Is Husband guarding against those from the Demon Realm and Netherworld?"

Xia Feng was taken aback: "Hah... if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have thought of that."

"We still need to guard against loopholes from the Demon Realm and Netherworld. Perhaps I should elevate the ancestors’ cultivation even more."

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked down at the Nine Evils, which had been resting on his left wrist.

This Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python had been following him for some time now, currently stuck at the Celestial Tier First Layer Martial God realm. To advance further, it would need more of a bloodline connection.

Xia Feng patted his sleeve: "Jiu Xie, stay on the Celestial Essence Continent for a while, protect the Xia Family for me."

Jiu Xie poked its head out, somewhat bewildered: "Okay, Master."

Xia Feng pondered for a moment: "You were born in the Great Xia, and after devouring the unusually evolved Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Grass, you became what you are now."

"Perhaps your destiny isn’t in the Divine Domain. While you’re idle on the Celestial Essence Continent, you might as well look for more suitable Spirit Grass."

He patted his sleeve again: "Stay away from God Burial Valley, or you might lose your life. I won’t be collecting your corpse."

Jiu Xie’s body shivered, and its voice quivered: "Master, you’re overestimating me; I wouldn’t dare cause trouble there."

Xia Feng did not continue speaking, only giving a few instructions before contemplating how to further arrange the situation in the Great Xia.

He returned to the Dream Realm Pearl, attempting to contact Xia Naiwen, who quickly entered, busy on the other side.

"Is there anything else you need?"

Xia Feng paused before speaking: "I recall that the Sect Leader of the Bull Subduing Sect was called Niu Zhan, wasn’t he?"

Xia Naiwen nodded: "Indeed, I believe the first Secret Manual you cultivated was from his family, right?"

Indeed, back then Xia Feng’s first Cultivation Technique was given by Niu Zhan, although coerced by the Five Great Saintesses of the Northern Border. Since then, Niu Zhan had always firmly supported Xia Feng.

Now that there’s a benefit, he naturally thought of this person who’s always been by his side.

At least his stance was far better than those who wavered back and forth.

Xia Feng glanced at Xia Naiwen: "Father, let’s bring him over this time."

"It’s been peaceful for so long."

Xia Naiwen considered it briefly and then nodded: "Alright, bring him over tonight at the hour of the Boar. I’m just about ready here, waiting only for the dream to enter at night."

Xia Feng nodded, trusting his father to handle matters well.

However, Xia Naiwen seemed a bit hesitant, as if he wanted to ask something but was unsure about saying it outright.

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow: "Father, ask whatever you want to ask, no need to beat around the bush between us."

Xia Naiwen looked a bit embarrassed before regaining his composure, asking with some confusion: "Feng’er, what are you planning with all of this?"

"Honestly, when the ancestors were just at the Peak of Martial Sovereign or the Demigod Realm, I wasn’t worried."

"Now that they’ve all broken through, they can’t continue their cultivation in the Lower Realm and will likely consider the Divine Domain."

"When the time comes and they leave... if they go to the Wuji Infinite Divine Domain, they might start conflicts with the families there and blame you for overdoing it."

Xia Feng listened and then laughed: "Father, why speak so implicitly? You’re just worried that the ancestors might betray the Xia Family."

"What I’m doing now is to solve this problem."

Xia Feng extracted nine Top Grade Divine Marrows from the Dream Realm Pearl’s Divine Vein and handed them to Xia Naiwen: "When you leave, infuse this into your Divine Sense and take it out."

"Didn’t we plant a Top Grade Divine Marrow before? Use these nine to form a Ten Directions Perfect Spirit Gathering Array around that one."

"In time, when these divine marrows form a Divine Vein, the entire Great Xia will be enveloped in Divine Power."

"By then, it will no longer be just the Great Xia Dynasty on the Celestial Essence Continent; it will be the Celestial Essence Divine Domain, Great Xia Clan."

Xia Feng paused before continuing: "Somehow, the Great Xia Dynasty sounds more profound."

Xia Naiwen was in a state of constant shock, unable to regain his composure. These were nine Top Grade Divine Marrows.
