After the Engagement Was Broken Off, I Was Pursued by Peerless Holy Maidens - Chapter 44:

Chapter 44: Can’t Sleep? Go Find the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden

“The cultivation method of the Iron Horn Sect is pretty average. With husband’s current realm, he really does need a new one.” The Heavenly Sword Holy Maiden, Li Qingxue, nodded.

She exchanged glances with the other four Holy Maidens from the Northern Region, then took out a secret manual that radiated the aura of ancient techniques.

“Husband, with your current Earth Tier Martial Venerable cultivation, this technique is just right for you,” Li Qingxue said as she handed it to Xia Feng. “Although it’s only a partial manual, the five of us all believe that this is the most suitable technique for you.”

“The most suitable for me?” Xia Feng was puzzled. “How do you know?”

“We just know. All you need to do is cultivate it,” Li Qingxue and the others said with a smile, shaking their heads.

In the dream world, it was with this Supreme Art that Xia Feng had cultivated to perfection. Just a casual strike could split mountains and shatter seas, unstoppable in every way.

They had already considered this when they left before. That’s why, on their way here, they went to retrieve the partial Supreme Art hidden within the unnamed canyon.

“All right.” Xia Feng nodded and took the partial Supreme Art without the resistance he had at the beginning.

As expected, when it comes to living off a woman’s support, there’s only the first time—and then every time after that.

The moment Xia Feng touched the Supreme Art, it turned into a golden light and seeped into his body through his arm.

“What?!”

Xia Feng cried out in surprise. He had never seen anything like this.

In the next second, the Supreme Art manifested as a golden page within his dantian and began slowly spinning.

Although he hadn’t started cultivating yet, Xia Feng could feel the spiritual power in his body being purified by the golden light.

This cultivation technique seemed to have its own consciousness, gently nurturing and refining Xia Feng’s dantian on its own.

“What level is this technique?” Xia Feng looked up in astonishment.

A flicker of surprise appeared in the eyes of the ten Holy Maidens, but as experienced cultivators, they quickly composed themselves.

“Husband, the Supreme Art has no specific level,” said the Heaven-Slaying Sword Holy Maiden, Yun Xuezhi, shaking her head.

“No level?” Xia Feng was stunned.

“No, that’s not exactly right,” Yun Xuezhi frowned slightly, recalling the memory from the dream realm. “While it doesn’t have a level, the Supreme Art evolves along with its host.”

“Even though this is just a partial version, it should be enough to cultivate up to the 9th stage of the Heaven Tier Martial Saint Realm.”

“That powerful?!” Xia Feng was startled again.

A technique that could reach the 9th stage of the Heaven Tier Martial Saint Realm—and this was just a partial version.

If it were complete, who knew how far it could take him?

This wasn’t something that could be measured in value anymore.

“This is way too precious…” Xia Feng sucked in a cold breath. He felt unworthy, as if he didn’t deserve something so valuable.

“Just take it, husband. This technique was made for you. In anyone else’s hands, it’d just go to waste,” said the Heavenly Violet Thunder Holy Maiden, Wang Yuwei.

“That’s right. Only you are worthy of the Supreme Art, husband. Just cultivate it.”

“Other cultivation techniques are good too, but in terms of results, the Supreme Art is definitely the best.”

The ten top-tier Holy Maidens spoke in unison, all urging Xia Feng to cultivate the Supreme Art. With no other choice, Xia Feng had to accept it.

A warm feeling spread in his heart. Though he didn’t know why, he could clearly feel the genuine care these ten women had for him.

Seeing Xia Feng accept the technique, the ten women finally looked satisfied.

They didn’t know the true origin of the Supreme Art. If it weren’t for their memories of the dream realm, they never would have guessed that such a massive treasure was hidden beneath that unnamed canyon.

“Right, there are also martial techniques,” Yun Xuezhi suddenly remembered. She took out her storage ring, and with a flash of golden light, dozens—nearly a hundred—manuals dropped to the ground.

High-grade Supreme Martial Technique – Nine Heavens Cloud Palm
High-grade Supreme Martial Technique – Subtle Dragon-Slaying Blade
High-grade Supreme Martial Technique – Mist Mountain Hand
High-grade Supreme Secret Art – Blood Demon Burst
…

“Husband, these are what I collected after eliminating Mist Mountain Sect,” Yun Xuezhi said with a grin. “Your current level is Earth Tier Martial Venerable, just right for cultivating these high-grade supreme martial techniques.”

Xia Feng’s eyes lit up. His biggest weakness right now was his lack of martial techniques, which was why he had struggled so much in battle earlier.

Although Mist Mountain Sect was just a mid-level sect, likely due to its ties to the Sky Elephant Sect, it had a foundation that far exceeded most mid-level sects.

Other sects would treat even one high-grade supreme martial technique as a sect-defining treasure. Mist Mountain Sect, on the other hand, had seven or eight of them!

Xia Feng stepped forward and selected a few, including Mist Mountain Hand, which had been used against him by Mist Mountain Sect—it was one of their signature arts.

He also chose a movement technique called Phantom Dream Spirit Steps.

Even though it was only a high-level Earth Tier martial technique, in combat, movement skills often outweighed offensive ones in importance.

If your opponent can’t even touch you, then no matter how powerful they are, what’s the point?

By the time he was done picking, it was already deep into the night.

Everyone was a bit tired after the hard-fought battle, so Xia Feng’s mother arranged the best rooms for the ten Holy Maidens to rest.

Holding the Supreme Art and his new martial techniques, Xia Feng also returned to his own room, eager to enter the dream realm and master them all.

However, for the next half an hour, he tossed and turned in bed but simply couldn’t fall asleep.

With a helpless look on his face, he sighed. Maybe he was too excited from obtaining new techniques and cultivation methods—he just couldn’t relax like he usually did.

“This won’t do. If I can’t sleep, I’ll miss a whole opportunity to cultivate.”

Xia Feng sat up from the bed, unwilling to waste the night.

His main path of cultivation was through the dream world. If he couldn’t fall asleep, his progress would come to a halt for the day.

Wait a second!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind—Yu Siya!

Yu Siya specialized in the Dao of Charm. She could easily make someone lose consciousness. If she used a bit of charm on him, maybe it would have the same effect as hypnosis.

The moment that idea came, Xia Feng immediately got up and headed for Yu Siya’s room.

It was already very late. Her room was dark. Standing outside, Xia Feng hesitated.

He’d been so focused on getting help sleeping that he hadn’t realized how awkward the situation actually was.

It was the middle of the night. A grown man knocking on a young Holy Maiden’s door… wasn’t that a little inappropriate?

“Maybe I should come back tomorrow…”

Xia Feng sighed and turned around. But before he could leave, the door behind him creaked open.

A stunningly seductive little face peeked out.

Yu Siya licked her lips, raised an eyebrow playfully, and said, “Husband, you’ve already come all this way—why are you trying to leave now?”

“Since you came looking for me, let me accompany you tonight~”

With a mischievous smile, Yu Siya’s soft, delicate hand grabbed Xia Feng and impatiently pulled him into the room.

The room was filled with a sweet fragrance. Under the moonlight shining through the window, Xia Feng saw Yu Siya dressed in a thin, shoulder-strapped gown. Her delicate figure and snow-white back were clearly visible…
