After the Engagement Was Broken Off, I Was Pursued by Peerless Holy Maidens - Chapter 76:

Chapter 76: Multiple People Enter the Dream—A Ten-Thousand-Year Dream

Once the lightning-type heavenly law power was fully absorbed, the Dream Pearl finally stopped moving and returned to calm.

It began rotating slowly again, just like at the very beginning, occasionally releasing a deep and mysterious aura.

Unlike before, the Dream Pearl now had more distinct patterns on its surface, and the aura it emitted was far more profound.

Xia Feng opened his eyes and excitedly jumped down from the bed.

“Dad, Mom, let’s cultivate! You two are now 1st stage Heaven-grade Martial Venerables. In the next two days, I’ll help you both break through to the Martial Emperor Realm!”

Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian looked at each other, confused by their son’s sudden enthusiasm.

“Son, I know that Dream Pearl’s cultivation effect is amazing, but breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm in just two days… that’s impossible,” Xia Naiwen said with a bitter smile.

Xia Feng shook his head and didn’t say more. He directly pulled them to sit cross-legged.

“Saying it a hundred times doesn’t compare to doing it once. Let’s start cultivating!”

He quickly constructed the dream world and brought both of them into it.

In this ancient and primitive dream realm, the density of spiritual energy was several times stronger than before.

Xia Naiwen was shocked as he gazed upon the vast land, the green grass, the flowing streams—and the smiling Xia Feng beside him.

“This is your dream world?” Xia Naiwen asked in disbelief, his mouth slightly agape as he looked around at the lifelike scenery.

“How can it be this real? And I can even retain full awareness? Wife—wife? Xia Feng, what’s wrong with your mother?”

He looked around and soon spotted Huang Xiaoqian sitting on the ground, silently breathing and absorbing spiritual energy, cultivating instinctively.

He called her name a couple of times, but she didn’t react. He started to panic.

“It’s fine, Dad. Let Mom focus on cultivating. For now, only you and I can retain our consciousness in the dream,” Xia Feng explained.

“But… I remember the last time I cultivated here, everything was vague and blurry. I didn’t even remember much after waking up. But this time, I can stay aware—why?” Xia Naiwen asked.

“I told you, Dad, I’m going to help you break through to the Martial Emperor Realm this time, didn’t I?”

Xia Feng chuckled.

“My dream technique has advanced. Not only can you retain consciousness now, but you’ll also receive partial feedback from the cultivation you do here.”

“You mean… I’ll get actual strength feedback like you do in the real world?” Xia Naiwen’s eyes widened in disbelief, and then a surge of joy exploded in his heart.

“Great! Even if it’s just partial feedback, it’s more than enough!” He clenched his fists excitedly. “This time, I’ll give it my all. A thousand years—I’m going to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm no matter what! I can’t keep letting you leave your old man in the dust, hahahah!”

“Who said anything about a thousand years?”

Xia Feng interrupted his father’s laughter and held up one finger.

“It’s ten thousand years.”

Xia Naiwen froze for a moment, and then his jaw dropped again, staring at Xia Feng in disbelief.

Xia Feng shrugged, then sat down cross-legged and began comprehending more of the heavenly rules.

Excitement flickered in Xia Naiwen’s eyes. He hadn’t expected his son’s auxiliary cultivation ability to level up so quickly. With ten thousand years in this realm, if he was lucky, he might even break through to the Profound-grade Martial Emperor Realm!

And so, the two began cultivating—one after the other.

…

A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Xia Feng stood up slowly from the ground, and Xia Naiwen also brushed the dust off his body as the aura of a 3rd stage Yellow-grade Martial Emperor burst forth.

In just one thousand years, he had already broken through to the 3rd stage Yellow-grade Martial Emperor!

Nearby, Huang Xiaoqian, still cultivating by instinct, was a bit slower, but her aura was steadily rising and had signs of an impending breakthrough.

“Dad, comprehending the laws of the world by just sitting and cultivating is way too slow,” Xia Feng said, clearly feeling the stagnation in his own training.

“You got a better idea?” Xia Naiwen asked, turning toward him.

“Of course I do,” Xia Feng smiled. “If you can’t make progress through sitting still, then go fight. Combat will help verify whether your understanding is correct.”

After speaking, Xia Feng closed his eyes, furrowed his brows, and used his spiritual sense to connect to the Dream Pearl suspended in the sky.

A moment later, the dream world began to change drastically.

The lush, spiritually rich scenery was replaced by the familiar surroundings of Xingyu City.

Xia Naiwen looked around at the familiar sights and felt a surge of excitement. He already had a vague idea of what his son intended to do.

After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Xia Feng slowly opened his eyes, his lips curling into a smile.

“Dad, now that you’ve broken through to the Yellow-grade Martial Emperor Realm, go out and try your strength.”

“I’ve reconstructed the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Xia Domains. That place will be the best for your current cultivation. I’ve already set the rules—if you’re killed by anyone, you’ll instantly revive here.”

“Hahaha, good! You wiped out the three domains alone last time, and while I was satisfied, I didn’t get to see it for myself—let alone join in. Now I finally have the chance to personally smash those arrogant bastards’ heads!”

Xia Naiwen was overjoyed. He never thought he’d get a chance to personally beat up those lofty emperors.

He said no more. With nine thousand years still remaining, and unlimited revival, he was confident he could push his cultivation even further!

Once he turned into a streak of light and shot off, Xia Feng looked northeast of Xingyu City.

There, at the border between the Great Xia Empire and the Radiant Sun Empire, was the Eastern Wasteland Forest—a land of criminals and saint beasts.

He was now a Martial Saint, and the Eastern Wasteland Forest was the perfect place for life-and-death battles.

The forest was home not only to Martial Saints, but many of them.

Xia Feng had originally wanted to simulate a holy land, but he had never seen a real one before and didn’t know how to recreate its exact scale.

However, he had memorized the terrain of the Eastern Wasteland Forest. There were city-states filled with Martial Saint Realm criminals, and deep in the mountains lurked terrifying saint beasts, each as powerful as a Martial Saint Realm.

All of them would become stepping stones on his path of cultivation!

Xia Feng grinned, revealing a mix of excitement and cruelty, and turned into a streak of purple lightning, flying in the opposite direction from Xia Naiwen—straight toward the Eastern Wasteland Forest!
