Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 531 - 527: Reluctant Yet a Little Greedy

Xia Feng had never heard of such a thing before and suddenly felt nervous.

He had originally thought that as long as he hid inside the Dream Realm Pearl, there would be no traces left in the outside world.

Now, hearing the Jiu Wu Dragon say this, he just realized that he had been too trusting of the Dream Realm Pearl before. He never considered that if someone destroyed the connection between the Dream Realm Pearl and the outside world, they might be forever trapped in spatial chaos or might not be able to get out of the Dream Realm Pearl.

The Jiu Wu Dragon saw him acting like facing a great enemy, and added, "You don’t need to worry too much. Only those who reach my realm can detect that fissure."

Xia Feng’s mood was like riding a roller coaster, swinging between ups and downs.

All the Divine King-level beings in the Divine Domain perished together with the Demon Kings from the Demon Realm, leaving perhaps only the Jiu Wu Dragon as a special existence in the world.

Xia Feng slightly relaxed and looked up at Jiu Wu Dragon, "Thank you for the reminder, I will be more cautious in the future."

The Jiu Wu Dragon nodded slightly, then asked, "You came out from the Ancient Divine Hall, have you already mastered the God-Burying Bell?"

Listening to the Jiu Wu Dragon calling out the name of the God-Burying Bell so casually, Xia Feng realized that his previous choices in the mist had been affected by it subtly.

"Not completely mastered, only roughly comprehended a bit. Many ways of use are still uncertain."

Beside the dragon’s beard, Xiao Yao huffed coldly, "Boasting again, you dare say you’ve mastered the use of the God-Burying Bell within just half a month."

"Even for the most talented, it’s impossible to master it this fast."

"Inside there are understandings regarding the soul. Let alone half a month, rough comprehension even after eight million years would be considered exceptionally gifted."

Xia Feng originally felt a bit lost, having spent a million years to grasp even a bit of the Sound Dao. But hearing Xiao Yao say this, his mood suddenly brightened.

Turns out, it’s not that his talent is poor, but rather that soul comprehension has always been so difficult to grasp.

Xiao Yao, observing Xia Feng’s lack of guilt and instead seeming pleased after her words, looked at him with particular puzzlement.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Xia Feng came back to his senses, smiling as he responded, "It’s all good. I just figured out some things."

"My space’s flow rate is somewhat different from the outside world. It took me around 1.2 million years to master these things."

Xiao Yao paused slightly, muttering something incoherent, but did not continue communicating with Xia Feng.

Nearby, a mist began to envelop Jiu Wu Dragon’s surroundings, its entire body gradually becoming vague.

Its muffled voice emanated from the mist, "Since you have already controlled the God-Burying Bell, leave as early as possible."

Xia Feng was startled, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to explore the depths of God Burial Valley further. But Jiu Wu Dragon seemed to imply he wasn’t suitable for continued exploration?

Jiu Wu Dragon, seeing Xia Feng’s confusion, brought his dragon eyes back for a moment and pondered before explaining, "Although you have controlled the God-Burying Bell, you still need time for thorough refinement."

"Too much greed leads to waste; God Burial Valley won’t run away."

Xia Feng pursed his lips, his expression still somewhat hesitant. This rare entry—it’s unknown when he’ll enter again.

He knew Jiu Wu Dragon intended for him to fully master the God-Burying Bell before exploring other locations for new Divine Artifacts.

Like eating meals one bite at a time, steps taken gradually.

But...

Jiu Wu Dragon chuckled lightly, his vibrating dragon whiskers causing nearby mist to stir.

"Alright, youngsters are always a bit restless and eager."

"If you wish to continue exploring, walk around the Ancient Divine Hall’s location."

"Perhaps now you need to slaughter some resentful beasts to hone your connection with the God-Burying Bell. If I keep resisting, I might seem unkind."

After finishing, Jiu Wu Dragon’s expression turned more serious, and he continued, "But since it’s a fight, I won’t protect you."

"You must discern that profound feeling amid life and death, and whether you grasp it before you die..."

Without finishing, its entire form already vanished into the mist. When Xia Feng looked closely again, there was no trace left at all, including Xiao Yao beside the dragon’s whiskers vanishing in mid-air.

Xia Feng felt a slight sense of loss but quickly regained his spirits.

His journey had never been achieved through relying on others’ protection.

The fact that Jiu Wu Dragon could let him comprehend the God-Burying Bell’s true meaning in life and death was another form of recognition.

He took a deep breath, a God-Burying Bell the size of a bell appeared in his hand, and carrying the bell ventured deeper into the mist.

Previously, surrounded by True God-level resentful beasts, there were already quite a few. Now exploring further, Xia Feng even worried he might suddenly encounter a couple of Main God-level beasts.

Yet, whether due to good luck or the remnant scent of Jiu Wu Dragon scaring off nearby Main God-level resentful beasts.

Anyway, he traveled a long distance without encountering any Main God-level beasts, only shaking the God-Burying Bell to eradicate some True God-level beasts.

But as a Ninth Grade True God, coupled with the formidable Ancient Divine Artifact God-Burying Bell, dealing with resentful beasts posed almost no threat to him.

He didn’t even deploy the Nine Sounds of God Burial to directly annihilate them.

Xia Feng remained slightly unsatisfied in his heart, cautiously venturing deeper.

After traversing about several hundred meters, he finally encountered a Second Grade Main God-level resentful beast.

Xia Feng stood at a distance, observing the mist, his expression notably contemplative.

After brief hesitation, Xia Feng considered first resting inside the Dream Realm Pearl, to confront the Main God-level beast in optimal condition.

It’s known resentful beasts outperform regular cultivators, with fearless, diverse attack methods unlike ordinary cultivators.

If Xia Feng managed to deal with the Main God-level beast, overcoming stronger foes would be relatively easier.

With this thought, Xia Feng promptly pulled open the space and slipped into the Dream Realm Pearl.

Upon entering, many women anxiously gathered around and started speaking in a flurry.
