Chapter 75: Xia Feng Gets Kicked Out of the Dream Realm

Late at night.

For Xia Feng, entering the dream realm to cultivate had always been the main method of improving his strength.

That night, he once again brought his parents into the dream realm for cultivation.

Upon entering, Xia Feng looked up at the sky of the gray, hazy world—and was immediately stunned.

Something was clearly wrong. The dream world had changed in ways he couldn’t understand.

Now, yellow sand filled the air, and though the Dream Pearl still hung high in the sky, it no longer looked tranquil. Instead, it emitted a constant humming sound that made his spirit feel disoriented.

“What… what is going on?”

Xia Feng’s heart pounded. He could clearly sense that all the spiritual energy in the surroundings was being sucked dry by the Dream Pearl!

In such a place, cultivation was absolutely impossible. There would be no gains.

“No way, big bro—my dear brother—you can’t mess with me like this! I just reached the Martial Saint Realm, and now you break down on me?!”

Xia Feng was practically in tears. He hurriedly flew into the sky and hovered around the Dream Pearl to inspect it.

Unlike before, the Dream Pearl no longer glowed brightly. It had become dim and dull.

It slowly rotated in midair, looking like a tired old ox resting after grinding grain.

Xia Feng, frustrated, stretched out his hands to search for the source of the problem.

But the moment his fingers touched the Dream Pearl, an overwhelming suction force exploded from it.

“Ah—!” Xia Feng let out a startled cry, and before he could even withdraw his hand, his consciousness suddenly turned fuzzy.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself staring into the anxious faces of Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian.

“Son, what’s wrong? Just now you suddenly cried out and collapsed. You’ve been out cold for half an hour! We thought something went wrong with your cultivation—you scared us half to death!”

Huang Xiaoqian was terrified. Seeing that her son was unharmed, she finally let out a long sigh of relief.

“I… I’m fine. Dad, Mom, just let me rest for a bit.” Xia Feng shook his head, pretending to be calm so they wouldn’t worry.

“Son, this dream realm cultivation method of yours… are you sure it won’t harm your body?”

Xia Naiwen, a man of experience, frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, “Maybe we should stop using this dream method to cultivate. If anything happened to you, your mother and I would never forgive ourselves!”

“No, no, Dad, Mom. I know my body best—there’s no danger, I promise. Please don’t worry, really!”

Xia Feng was startled. He only wanted to ease their minds but didn’t expect his father to misunderstand.

“Really?” Xia Naiwen narrowed his eyes in doubt.

Xia Feng had never lied to him before, but Xia Naiwen still felt the whole dream realm seemed suspicious.

“Really! I swear to the heavens, Dad, Mom—just let me rest for half an hour, and I’ll be fine!”

Xia Feng quickly nodded, even raising a hand to swear an oath in order to reassure them.

Seeing this, Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian finally nodded and chose to believe their son.

Xia Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, brows furrowed. He took a deep breath and focused his mind, trying to feel the abnormality within the Dream Pearl.

In his spiritual sea, the tiny golden figure of his soul wore a puzzled expression.

The Dream Pearl had changed.

It had become deeper in color, its surface runes clearer, and while it rotated, it faintly emitted a force that felt incredibly familiar.

The closer Xia Feng got, the more familiar the power became.

“Wait a minute… this is… the power of the lightning law I comprehended?!”

After a careful check, Xia Feng’s eyes flew open.

“This pearl… it’s absorbing my law power?!” Xia Feng was shocked. He didn’t know whether this was good or bad.

The Dream Pearl had helped him cultivate—that was how he had managed to become a Martial Saint so quickly.

But the power of laws was the foundation of a Martial Saint!

Losing it could mean losing his realm.

To become a Martial Saint, one had to grasp the path of laws. It wasn’t just the result of cultivation—it was the qualification itself.

Without a law, he would fall back to being a 9th stage Heaven-grade Martial Emperor!

Just as Xia Feng was panicking, the Dream Pearl suddenly reacted, as if it had a consciousness.

A stream of pure black energy flowed out of it and shot into Xia Feng’s spiritual body.

His consciousness trembled violently.

Then, countless fragments of obscure and complex knowledge erupted in his mind.

The knowledge was vast, chaotic, and made his head spin with dizziness and pain.

Slowly, after half the time it took an incense stick to burn, Xia Feng finally began to understand the meaning behind the information.

“The Dream Pearl… it’s refining itself using my heavenly law comprehension…” Xia Feng murmured.

The fragments were jumbled, but after piecing them together, Xia Feng finally understood what the Dream Pearl was trying to do.

It had detected that he had mastered a heavenly law.

Now, it was using that law power to unlock more seals within itself and enhance the power of the dream realm.

During this process, he would be unable to cultivate within the dream world.

But once the upgrade was complete, the Dream Pearl would gain the ability to provide strength feedback.

Even better, he would be able to bring two chosen people with him into the dream realm, and when they woke, they would receive 50% of the power they cultivated in the dream world.

Additionally, the time ratio would increase from one dream equaling a thousand years… to one dream equaling ten thousand years!

“What the—this is insane! So this is like a system upgrade, and now it’s in maintenance mode?”

Xia Feng was stunned. He never imagined the Dream Pearl could auto-upgrade.

Apparently, it had kicked him out during the maintenance phase.

But after fully reading through the information, his shock turned into joy.

“Kicked out? Who cares! I’ll gladly take that trade!”

If he could get upgrades like this every time, he’d be happy to get kicked out once in a while.

Now that he’d become a Martial Saint, the Dream Pearl had also begun to evolve along with its master.

“I can designate who joins me in cultivation… and it gives feedback too?!”

Xia Feng jumped up in excitement.

This meant that when he brought his father or mother into the dream world again, if they cultivated to the 9th stage Heaven-grade Martial Emperor Realm in the dream, they would at least receive 9th stage Earth-grade Martial Emperor feedback in reality!

No longer would they have to settle for just experience and aura gains without real power!
