Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

After a long while, that golden-glowing vortex gradually dissipated.

Along with it, the projection of the Divine Emperor in Xia Feng’s sea of consciousness also completely disappeared, and the last trace of the Holy Sword Divine Emperor in this world was gone.

Xia Feng opened his eyes, faint spots of golden light swept past his eyes, clearly indicating that his realm had increased too rapidly, and he was slightly unaccustomed to it.

However, after adjusting his breath for a moment, he managed to retract all the golden light back into his sea of consciousness.

Li Qingxue’s expression was somewhat complex, with worry and joy intertwined.

She took two steps forward and softly asked, "Have you received the inheritance?"

Xia Feng nodded, slightly sensing his own cultivation, realizing it was the Holy Sword Divine Emperor’s compensation for not acquiring the Holy Sword, as well as an admonishment not to continue cultivating Demonic Qi.

Li Qingxue noticed he hadn’t quite recovered and, with a hint of concern, asked: "I see your cultivation has increased significantly, did it happen too quickly?"

It must be known that Xia Feng’s greatest advantage was that he began practicing the Ten Dao before reaching the Martial Sovereign level, establishing a particularly solid foundation.

If, after obtaining the Divine Emperor’s inheritance, his cultivation had abruptly increased and weakened his proud foundation, it would have been better not to have accepted this inheritance at all.

Xia Feng closed his eyes to feel it slightly, then revealed a smile.

"Don’t worry, the Divine Emperor and I don’t have a grudge, naturally he wouldn’t do something like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs."

"The projection in the inheritance probably had one-tenth of the Divine Emperor’s cultivation, and he merged all the remaining energy into my body."

"If it were someone else, they might have been elevated to the Main God or even the Divine King realm."

"However, because I cultivate too many Great Daos, the Holy Sword Divine Emperor didn’t push it too much, only raising my cultivation by one major realm."

"When we leave the Secret Realm, I will consolidate my realm a bit."

Li Qingxue slightly sighed in relief, with the worry on her face disappearing to only leave joy.

"Husband, you’re amazing, to have obtained the Divine Emperor’s inheritance."

Xia Feng was just about to say something when the surrounding space faintly felt like it was going to collapse, and the void fissures began to converge toward Xia Feng’s body.

He was momentarily stunned, vaguely guessing something, while beside him, Xia Tianming sensed the space and his expression revealed some understanding.

"Is it that after the inheritance is taken, the Secret Realm will collapse?"

Xia Feng shook his head: "This Secret Realm is also part of the inheritance, under normal circumstances, it would transform into an independent space belonging to me."

"However, now that the Dream Realm Pearl has intervened, this space is likely to end up in the Dream Realm Pearl as well."

"The Dream Realm Pearl is currently devouring this space."

He closed his eyes and sensed slightly, then added: "It will take about two to three days, let’s take this opportunity to consolidate our cultivation inside the Dream Realm Pearl."

After saying this, he directly pulled Li Qingxue and Xia Tianming into the Dream Realm Pearl.

Once inside, Xia Feng turned to Li Qingxue and said: "The Divine Technique the Holy Sword Divine Emperor passed to me is called the Holy Sword Technique, which is a bit easier to cultivate than the Heaven-Burying Divine Technique, and more suitable for the Li Family bloodline you possess."

Li Qingxue caught the underlying meaning in Xia Feng’s words. Although she was curious about this Divine Technique left behind by her ancestor, she wished more for Xia Feng to become stronger than for her own advancement.

Xia Feng noticed her hesitance, smiled, and said: "Don’t overthink it. The Holy Sword Technique requires some bloodline prerequisites, but my Heaven-Burying Divine Technique is much more formidable."

"Moreover, have you forgotten our Dual Cultivation Technique?"

"If it weren’t for you practicing too few Great Daos and being unable to comprehend the Heaven-Burying Divine Technique, I would actually prefer you to cultivate the Heaven-Burying Divine Technique with me so we could complement each other."

After Xia Feng said this, the worry in Li Qingxue’s heart eased significantly.

Xia Feng not only intended to teach Li Qingxue but even wanted Xia Tianming to also cultivate the Holy Sword Technique.

The main focus of this technique was the power of bloodline. There was temporarily no one in the Xia Family stronger than Xia Feng, but if Xia Tianming cultivated it, he could leverage Xia Feng’s bloodline strength.

However, after Xia Tianming broadly understood the principle behind the technique, he hesitated for a moment and then declined Xia Feng’s suggestion.

Xia Feng wanted to persuade further, but Xia Tianming’s resolve was firm.

"Quit wasting your effort. My primary focus was the Great Dao of Space. Any understanding of the Great Dao of the Celestial Sword only occurred after entering the Secret Realm and being enhanced by the Sword Heart."

"Although I have understood the Void Sword Dao, I’m not particularly interested in the Great Dao of the Celestial Sword, not to mention that the Holy Sword Technique is so complex to cultivate."

"I’m not being polite with you. If there is a Divine Technique for cultivating the Great Dao of Space in the future, I certainly wouldn’t refuse it."

Since Xia Tianming spoke so plainly, Xia Feng didn’t insist, instead focusing on instructing Li Qingxue.

In the two days outside, two hundred thousand years passed inside the Dream Realm Pearl.

As the Holy Sword Secret Realm was gradually consumed by the Dream Realm Pearl, the sword dao rules within the Dream Realm Pearl became increasingly clear and complete.

In this environment, Li Qingxue’s understanding of the Holy Sword Technique progressed rapidly.

Xia Feng practiced sword dao with her almost every day, and after a hundred thousand years, Li Qingxue had completely mastered the Holy Sword Technique.

In the subsequent hundred thousand years, while Xia Feng consolidated his realm, Li Qingxue and Xia Tianming also worked hard to elevate their realms.

The Dream Realm Pearl, now infused with the Holy Sword Secret Realm, was filled with scattered Great Dao of Celestial Sword, making it exceedingly easy for Li Qingxue to break through to the Celestial God Realm, and by the end of cultivation, her realm advanced to Ninth Grade Celestial God.

But Xia Tianming didn’t have such a good opportunity. Two hundred thousand years only allowed him to reach barely the First Grade Celestial God Realm, afterward consolidating his cultivation and further understanding the rules of the Great Dao of Space.

Xia Feng felt something in the void and called Xia Tianming and Li Qingxue, then left the Dream Realm Pearl with them.

Outside, the Holy Sword Secret Realm was already on the brink of shattering, nearly all life energy and Great Dao rules having been consumed by the Dream Realm Pearl.

Now, the Holy Sword Secret Realm, unable to persist, began sequentially teleporting out the living inheritors inside.

Xia Feng emerged from the Dream Realm Pearl upon sensing this.

Otherwise, Xia Feng was concerned that when the Holy Sword Secret Realm completely vanished, the space they occupied would also change accordingly.

Then it would be troublesome to locate the direction to the Celestial Sword Divine Domain.

Also, it wouldn’t be convenient to explain to others about their final destination.

The three of them stood together, watching the Holy Sword Secret Realm fade away, not resisting the accompanying feeling of being drawn and left the Holy Sword Secret Realm with its pull.
