Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled
Chapter 585 - 581: Is There Danger in Elevating the Celestial Essence Continent to a Divine Domain?
After the two finished their cultivation, they directly transmitted back to Great Xia from the Dream Realm Pearl. Xia Feng originally thought about whether to greet the two Divine Kings.
Qi Wan’Er spoke with a look of helplessness: "My father rarely leaves the Divine King Hall, and then he was caught by my mother. Now they might be a bit busy and can’t spare time for the two of us."
She ruffled her hair: "There’s no need to say goodbye to them, we won’t be able to see them anyway."
Xia Feng suddenly thought of many things, and his expression showed a few traces of sudden realization and admiration: "As expected of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, they play much more extravagantly than us."
Qi Wan’Er glared at Xia Feng playfully: "What are you thinking, they just had a quarrel. They’ve been at odds for years, and neither is willing to back down."
"However, my mother’s cultivation is now higher than my father’s. They should be able to sit down and talk. If they clear up what happened back then, there won’t be so much awkwardness."
Xia Feng nodded, his expression full of agreement, but in his heart, he still felt that the two Divine Kings were playing quite a big game.
Seeing that she couldn’t explain clearly, Qi Wan’Er simply stopped trying to explain and just pulled Xia Feng deeper into the Dream Realm Pearl.
"Hurry, hurry, stop thinking about it. I’m already missing my sisters a little. Let’s hurry back to Great Xia."
Xia Feng knew she was changing the subject, but he didn’t expose her, leading her through the Dream Realm Pearl for half a day, directly back to the True Divine Hall of Great Xia.
As soon as they came out, they were surrounded by Father Xia and Mrs. Xia. Li Qingxue’s beautiful eyes were filled with excitement and worry.
Xia Feng glanced at the newly acquired divine marrows and waved to everyone: "You guys catch up first. I’ll go bury the divine marrows underground in Great Xia, so more divine veins can grow. This way, the soldiers of Great Xia can cultivate faster."
After speaking, he directly tore through space from the True Divine Hall and went out.
Father Xia and Mrs. Xia looked on with emotions: "My son is really capable."
Li Qingxue also nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, my husband is truly capable. Wan’Er, quickly tell us about your experiences in the Celestial Sound Divine Domain with him."
Xia Feng didn’t know they were discussing him behind his back. Nor did he know that Wan’Er was embellishing their experiences into an extravagant tale. At that moment, Xia Feng was busy seeking a suitable location to bury the divine marrows.
Both he and Li Shiqing had cultivated the Great Dao of Celestial Talisman and knew the path of talisman arrays to be particularly profound. If he could bury the divine marrows in the right place, it could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
He surveyed the surrounding environment and found a place somewhat far from the Divine Capital of Great Xia to plan to bury the divine marrows.
The light and shadow around him flickered, and Xia Feng instinctively tensed his body, readying himself for attack.
Although the general cultivation level in Great Xia wasn’t high, what if a Divine King from the Infinite Divine Domain sneaked over secretly?
The person in the light and shadow across from him exuded an intense pressure, and Xia Feng vaguely sensed that this person seemed to be a Divine King.
He furrowed his brow, the God-Burying Bell secretly grasped in his hand, ready to ambush the newcomer.
When Celestial Sword Divine King Li Ya emerged from the spatial transmission, she felt a sense of crisis enveloping her heart. A strand of sword qi suddenly turned into a protective shield around her, then she called out in some confusion: "Xia Feng?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Xia Feng lightly coughed and put away the God-Burying Bell in his hand: "Celestial Sword Mother-in-law, why aren’t you in the Divine King Hall training today?"
Li Ya gave him a slightly teasing look, not exposing his little tricks just now.
"I saw that Qingxue left without even a word, which meant you must have returned."
"Why aren’t you in the True Divine Hall catching up with them? Why did you come here instead?"
Xia Feng paused, gripping the divine marrow in his hand: "I obtained some more divine marrows in the Celestial Sound Divine Domain. Thinking of burying these divine marrows in suitable places to raise the divine power concentration of Great Xia to a higher level."
Li Ya rarely frowned, inquiring inexplicably: "Are you really ready?"
Xia Feng was a bit puzzled. While burying the divine marrows underground, he asked in confusion: "Is there any preparation needed just to bury a divine marrow?"
Li Ya chuckled softly: "Turning an ordinary world into a Divine Domain entails more hardships than you can imagine."
"Are you truly ready to take on more responsibility?"
Xia Feng didn’t quite understand the meaning behind it, yet his hands didn’t stop, and he placed the remaining top-grade divine marrows in suitable spots.
Once he was finished, feeling the divine power around him gradually becoming richer, he turned to Li Ya to inquire: "What does Celestial Sword Mother-in-law mean by this? I seem to not quite understand."
"The history of the Celestial Essence Continent is long enough, and its foundation is sturdy; it simply lacks divine power. Once there is enough divine power, it can surely become a Divine Domain."
"Are there other issues that need solving?"
Li Ya gave Xia Feng a deep look, not sure if she was sighing or lamenting: "Even if I explained it to you now, you wouldn’t understand the depth of it."
"You’ll encounter it in the future and have to make choices then."
Li Ya’s words were as enigmatic as clouds and fog, leaving Xia Feng very puzzled. No matter how he inquired, Celestial Sword Divine King only mentioned that he would understand in the future, making Xia Feng even more perplexed.
It seemed that Li Ya simply came to chat a bit with Xia Feng. After speaking, she directly transformed into a sword qi and soared back to the Divine Capital of Great Xia.
Standing there with furrowed brows, Xia Feng looked at the surrounding divine power growing denser and couldn’t help but feel a bit of confusion rising in his heart.
Before the Ten Great Divine Domains ascended, it seemed that the Martial Gods inside all originated from the Celestial Essence Continent. Some ascended faster and, after breaking through to the Divine King Realm, gradually grasped control over the Ten Great Divine Domains.
Yet none of these people ever thought about their origin, the Celestial Essence Continent.
Supposedly those Divine Kings had the power to enhance the divine power of the Celestial Essence Continent. For them, it would be an easy thing to do, yet not one cultivator who ascended to the Ten Great Divine Domains did so.
Even though most of their family and descendants were still on the Celestial Essence Continent, why hadn’t they resolved this issue?
The more Xia Feng thought about it, the more he felt there were secrets within. After all, entities like the Endless Sea and the God Burial Valley did not seem like things that should appear on an ordinary Lower Realm Continent.
Even within the Divine Domains, he had not seen such levels of existence, but they appeared on the Celestial Essence Continent.
He felt compelled to ask someone about the reason, but the Celestial Sword Divine King clearly didn’t want to tell him now. Moreover, he couldn’t reach other Divine Kings quickly, so he had to suppress this doubt for the time being.
Before tearing through space back to the Divine Capital of Great Xia, Xia Feng looked at the madly surging divine power around him, firming up his resolve.
Since he had decided to elevate the Great Xia Divine Kingdom to a Divine Domain, he wouldn’t abandon the original plan even if there were dangers involved, and he couldn’t interrupt the plan for the Divine Domain ascension.
