Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 530 - 526: Deciding to Continue Exploring God Burial Valley

When Xia Feng refined the God-Burying Bell, it took him two hundred thousand years. He anticipated that mastering the Nine Sounds of God Burial, as a complementary Ancient Divine Technique, would not be easy.

Even so, he didn’t expect that it would take a million years of cultivation just to barely get started with the Nine Sounds of God Burial.

When Xia Feng emerged from the Sword Pool, his expression looked even more helpless.

During these hundred years, he had been cultivating the Nine Sounds of God Burial in the Sword Pool. His body became more resilient through the cleansing of Sword Intent, but he still hadn’t thoroughly mastered the Nine Sounds of God Burial.

He even doubted if his talent in the Great Dao of Music was extremely weak, otherwise, why would it take such a long time to formally get started.

Beside him, Li Qingxue had thoroughly mastered the Holy Sword Technique, the trace of Great Dao Rules it contained, and the Sword Qi within the Dream Realm Pearl allowed Li Qingxue to continue improving.

In a million years, Li Qingxue had advanced to the Second Grade True God Realm, while the other women cultivated to between the Fifth Grade Celestial God and the Seventh Grade Celestial God.

Xia Tianming had also experienced explosive growth and had now broken through to the Ninth Grade Celestial God Realm, just needing some insights to break through to the True God Realm.

As for Father Xia and Mrs. Xia, their progress was slower, but they too had broken through to the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God Realm, and might soon advance to the First Grade Celestial God Realm.

Xia Feng sighed slightly. It seemed like in a million years, only his own progress was the slowest.

His highest cultivation was still in the Sword Dao, having made no progress in those million years, only stabilizing his Ninth Grade True God Realm.

However, his cultivation in the Great Dao of Music had broken through from the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God Realm to the Ninth Grade Celestial God Realm.

Yet Xia Feng still felt his grasp on the Great Dao of Music was somewhat weak.

When Sun Yazhu and the other women approached, they saw the regret and conflict on Xia Feng’s face.

She turned to the other women and said, "Be mindful, husband doesn’t seem in high spirits, so let’s refrain from mentioning the God-Burying Bell."

Qi Wan’Er opened her mouth, originally curious, but upon hearing Sun Yazhu, she noticed Xia Feng indeed didn’t seem happy. Hesitating briefly, she closed her mouth.

Xia Feng restrained his emotions and welcomed them with a smile: "We couples certainly have a deep connection."

"I just finished cultivating, and you all came to find me."

Sun Yazhu shot a playful eye-roll: "Husband, you have no idea. Ever since you started cultivating, we sisters have come by daily to see if you’ve stopped cultivating."

"In the earlier days, you were completely immersed in your cultivation, never noticing we sisters coming and going."

"Hmph, now beauties don’t catch your eye, your mind is all on cultivation~"

Xia Feng flushed, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, pulling her closer: "I’ve indeed neglected you all over the years."

"Don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you all today."

He spoke while lowering his head to kiss her on the top of her hair, his expression turning particularly tender.

The women playfully left the area of the Sword Pool with Xia Feng, and only after nearly three days of merriment did they halt their antics.

Sun Yazhu gently tapped Xia Feng’s chest with her delicate fingers and softly asked, "Husband, what are your plans next?"

Her days in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain were fairly good; while she couldn’t meet her husband face-to-face, she had plenty of time to be with Xia Feng within the Dream Realm Pearl.

But she also knew her good days in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain didn’t mean the other sisters were doing well in their respective Divine Domains.

Li Qingxue, hearing Sun Yazhu mention this, had a gentle and happy glint in her eyes.

Over the million years, she had explained to the sisters how Xia Feng earned the recognition of the Divine King.

Therefore, the other women also held some hope, wishing Xia Feng could also conquer their own father or mother, and lead them back to the Great Xia sooner.

Though they had many thoughts, they didn’t show a trace on their faces, fearing their expectations might pressure Xia Feng.

After all, they knew they had given Xia Feng plenty of trouble.

If their parents hadn’t forcibly taken them from the Great Xia, Xia Feng wouldn’t have such pressure.

His own cultivation speed wasn’t considered slow, with top-notch talent and comprehension, plus the Dream Realm Pearl, a formidable treasure never heard of before.

Xia Feng originally didn’t need to struggle so hard. But when he emerged from the Sword Pool earlier, the regret on his face clearly was frustration over his slow cultivation speed.

The women felt a pang of heartache, absolutely unwilling to add any more pressure to Xia Feng because of themselves.

Xia Feng didn’t expect the women had thought so much.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke: "I plan to set aside the God-Burying Bell for now, it seems I’ve reached a bottleneck in the Great Dao of Music."

"I’ll go out and continue exploring deeper into the God Burial Valley, I haven’t ventured far yet."

Xia Feng’s expression held more anticipation, seemingly eager to see what treasures the God Burial Valley could still offer.

He knew that exploring the God Burial Valley once brought more improvement than the inheritance from two Secret Realms in the Divine Domain.

The women also heartily agreed with Xia Feng’s idea, each offering encouragement, hoping he’d gain more inheritances.

Xia Feng reassured the women, then left the Dream Realm Pearl, reappearing in a corner of the Ancient Divine Hall.

The moment he appeared, the Jiu Wu Dragon noticed the anomaly within the Ancient Divine Hall, its originally resting eyes suddenly opened, looking toward the hall.

Xia Feng sensed the Jiu Wu Dragon guarding from outside and felt moved, quickly stepping out of the hall.

"Thank you, Lord Ji Wu, for your protection."

A transparent figure of Xiao Yao floated down by Jiu Wu’s side, with a touch of displeasure, she huffed, "Just thanking Lord Ji Wu and not thanking me?"

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, seemingly puzzled as to why she was still here after being released.

Xiao Yao’s face was angry, turning away and huffing again: "Stop pretending, you two agreed to let me out."

Puffed up with anger, her barely over a meter figure floated beside Jiu Wu, nestling under its dragon whiskers, unwilling to deal with the two any longer.

Xia Feng scratched his head, muttering: "Actually, even if I went into the space, I don’t really need you to protect me."

Jiu Wu blinked its dragon eyes, understanding he was referring to Xiao Yao, but it still explained.

"Although your entire body went into the space, the space’s entrance remained in your previous position."

"Unless you leave directly, opening a new portal elsewhere, that position will still have some trace."
