Soon, the news of Xia Feng's great victory against the Celestial Martial Army spread throughout the Eastern Continent.

The Celestial Martial Grand General was killed in action, and the entire Celestial Martial Army was annihilated. The symbolic city of the Eastern Continent, Spirit City, was reclaimed.

The good news reached the other nine battlefields, and the troops of the Great Xia Empire, originally suppressed, immediately shook off their gloom and reignited their fighting spirit.

Very soon, the invading Rizhao Empire's army found themselves in great distress; what they had thought to be a weak enemy had suddenly become a tough nut to crack.

Before long, four of the nine lines in the Eastern Continent began a counterattack, pushing the frontlines back.

Meanwhile, Xia Feng settled in Spirit City, organizing troops for post-war reconstruction.

About seven days later, the other Martial Sovereigns from Lingxiao Pavilion of the Great Xia Empire also led their troops to earn glory, thoroughly driving out the Rizhao Empire's army.

The fifty thousand soldiers that Xia Tianming had promised to Xia Feng also gradually entered Spirit City.

At this moment, Spirit City had nearly eighty thousand troops stationed.

Even if the Rizhao Empire regrouped their forces to attack, Xia Feng was confident they could be stopped outside Spirit City.

While the troops rebuilt the defenses, Xia Feng did not remain idle.

Each night, he would pull Xia Tianming, Huang Xiaoqian, Xia Naiwen, and the five Saintesses into dream realm cultivation.

Seven days of time, seven thousand years of cultivation.

Xia Tianming's realm remained the same, as he was already a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign, and breaking through to Martial God was not an easy feat.

What Xia Feng could do was to give him as much time as possible to comprehend the origins of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

On the other hand, Xia Feng's parents, Huang Xiaoqian and Xia Naiwen, progressed pleasingly, both stepping into the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Saint, just a step away from Half-Emperor.

The Ten Top Grade Saintesses, with their exceptional talents, each cultivated for an average of thirty thousand years, comprehending a unique Great Dao Law for themselves, breaking through to the Yellow Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign.

To enhance the soldiers' training, Xia Feng did not lead them into dream realm cultivation in the last three days.

The previous thirty thousand plus the later fifty thousand men, Xia Feng, in three days, led eighty thousand troops into dream cultivation in one go.

A thousand years in the Gu Sha Army doubled their combat power, and after thirty thousand years, this eighty thousand strong army underwent a transformation, mastering two complete Emperor Level Battle Arrays!

Each of these Emperor Level Battle Arrays could elevate Xia Feng's strength to the Profound Tier Martial Sovereign Fifth Layer.

At this moment, Spirit City was indeed impregnable.

But he himself...

Ten days passed, and Xia Feng sat alone atop the city walls of Spirit City, furrowing his brows and letting out a sigh.

The ten women also sat companionably behind him, knowing what weighed on his mind, yet helpless to aid him, offering solace through their presence.

In these ten thousand years, Xia Feng had yet to cross that hurdle, still lingering at the Yellow Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign strength.

For him, breaking through to the Profound Tier seemed more difficult than ascending to the heavens.

Poor talent was part of the issue, but primarily, he lacked the cultivation technique to aid his progress.

Each grand realm of a Martial Sovereign was like a heavenly chasm. Many without talent were stuck at the Yellow Tier Martial Sovereign.

He had always been cultivating the Supreme Technique, and it also helped him comprehend and absorb various martial techniques and divine techniques.

But after Xia Naiwu delivered a severe blow, shattering the divine essence of his Supreme Technique, Xia Feng could no longer enjoy the accelerated cultivation.

"It's alright, husband. As long as one is determined, nothing is impossible. Your cultivation speed is already commendable, don't lose heart,"

The Celestial Fox Saintess, Yu Siya, said softly as she sat beside Xia Feng, leaning closer, her snow-white hands gently clasping his right arm.

She comforted him with a soft voice, her face showing a tender smile.

Sun Yazhu also took the initiative to sit behind Xia Feng, rhythmically tapping his back.

The other ladies also gathered around, staying by Xia Feng's side.

Xia Feng's mood lifted somewhat.

Despite the unsatisfactory progress in his cultivation, having such tender wives by his side was a heartwarming solace.

"Perhaps it's time to change my cultivation technique? At this rate, who knows when I will break through to the Profound Tier Martial Sovereign..."

Xia Feng's eyes flickered with contemplation as he murmured softly, stroking his chin.

The ten women beside him were momentarily startled, then hastily exclaimed: "Husband, don't change your technique!"

"The Supreme Technique is of great use to you, and you'll rely on it for the breakthrough to Martial God... Also..."

Mid-sentence, Yu Siya faltered, her thoughts a bit scattered.

In the dreams of the ten women, it seemed Xia Feng reached the pinnacle of the Martial Dao using the Supreme Technique.

But thinking about what happened after Xia Feng used the Supreme Technique to break through to Martial God, Yu Siya suddenly felt a blur.

Not just her, but the other nine women also had a haziness in their eyes, unable to recall clearly.

Was it the unique divine nature of a Martial God, or the interference of the Supreme Technique?

Either possibility seemed to highlight the uniqueness of the Supreme Technique.

Xia Feng fell into deep thought once again.

Then he raised his head, looking at the ten women: "Since you remember what happened in the dream, where did I obtain the second half of the Supreme Technique?"

The ten women immediately nodded.

"Husband, it's the God Burial Valley," the Overlord Blade Saintess Yun Xuezhi said first.

"God Burial Valley?"

Upon hearing this name, Xia Feng's pupils shrank abruptly.

The faces of the Ten Great Saintesses were equally heavy.

Seeing this, Xia Feng forced a helpless smile.

"So it turns out to be this place, a legendary forbidden area where even a Martial God would easily perish if careless..."

"Looks like acquiring the Supreme Technique is indeed no easy task... Truly, divine artifacts are hard to come by."

Xia Feng sighed deeply.

God Burial Valley, located at the heart of the Celestial Fall Divine Domain, was also quite distant from the Infinite Divine Domain.

Traveling from the Infinite Divine Domain to the Celestial Fall Divine Domain would take at least hundreds of years on foot.

Generally speaking, the interactions between Divine Domains typically use large-scale Spirit Transmission Arrays, allowing for instant travel.

However, the spiritual energy required for such large-scale Spirit Transmission Arrays is immense, with thousands of jin of Top Grade Dragon Crystals needed to activate it once.

Therefore, most empires are unable to construct such large-scale Spirit Transmission Arrays, mainly due to the lack of financial resources.

Moreover, there is no need for empires to transport between Divine Domains, as all major empires are within one Divine Domain, and the farthest distance between neighboring empires is generally only a year or two.

For martial arts experts who live for thousands of years, this is nothing.

Xia Feng immediately looked worried. He also wanted to quickly enhance his strength, but unfortunately, he only possessed half of the Supreme Technique, with very poor results.

But from the intention of the ten ladies, it seems he must cultivate this Supreme Technique if he wants to break through to Martial God.

"It seems I need to find another way."

Xia Feng sighed lightly, then leaned back, resting his head on Sun Yazhu's lap.

"Where should I start?"

"Elixirs, weapons, martial techniques?"

Xia Feng's thoughts floated away as he began considering ways to enhance his strength.

Elixirs... Elixirs effective for Martial Sovereigns' cultivation are at least in the Tier Eight Top Grade range, unattainable for either Xia Feng or Sun Yazhu to refine.

Moreover, elixirs typically deplete potential and cause significant harm to the body.

Xia Feng shook his head, dismissing this idea.

Perhaps enhancing the quality of the weapon?

The Qingxue Sword Xia Feng currently possesses is already an Emperor Level Middle Grade weapon. As an Imperial Prince, using an Upper Grade Emperor Weapon, or even a Top Grade Emperor Weapon, would not be out of the question.

However...

The Qingxue Sword, gifted by Li Qingxue, has always accompanied Xia Feng, and is now in perfect harmony with him, making it remarkably easy to wield.

Compared to other weapons, the Qingxue Sword can unleash Xia Feng's full strength one hundred percent.

More importantly, if he were to change weapons, I'm afraid Li Qingxue...

After considering it, Xia Feng also rejected this suggestion.

So what about martial techniques?

Xia Feng has only been a Martial Sovereign for a bit over a month, and the Great Xia Empire has amassed countless Emperor Level Martial Techniques.

While in the Imperial Capital, he followed Xia Tianming to the Library Pavilion for a long time, and took four Emperor Level Upper Grade Martial Techniques to prepare for cultivation.

Later, with the outbreak of war in the Eastern Continent, Xia Feng rushed here without time to study them.

Later, he focused on training the military array and enhancing the strength of the ten ladies' grandfathers and parents, also attempting to break through to the Profound Tier.

The hope of breaking through to Profound Tier Martial Sovereign now seems faint, and it's time to try new martial techniques.

Xia Feng recalled that two of the four martial techniques were related to Celestial Thunder, and the other two were methods of augmenting attacks with fire and ice.

Celestial Thunder, ice and fire…

Wait a minute.

An idea flashed in Xia Feng's mind, as if he had grasped something.

Though he lacks the Supreme Technique and a stronger talent, he still has some exceptional traits.

A typical Martial Sovereign would have only one Great Dao Rule, while Xia Feng possesses ten.

The ten Great Dao Rules allowed him, even at Yellow Tier Second Layer, to easily overcome Xia Naiwu, another Yellow Tier Second Layer Martial Sovereign.

This trait enables him to achieve true invincibility at the same realm.

At this moment, Xia Feng's understanding of the Great Dao of Purple Thunder has reached nine rules, while the understanding of the other nine Great Dao Rules lags slightly.

If he can't break through to Martial Sovereign through the Great Dao of Purple Thunder, then using the other nine Great Dao Rules might also be a feasible path.

With this thought, Xia Feng immediately stood up from Sun Yazhu's soft and tender thighs, turned to the ten ladies, and revealed a radiant smile.

"I know what to do next for my cultivation."

"But my Top Grade talent is really too ordinary. Relying solely on myself, it will be difficult to achieve any breakthrough in a short time."

"Therefore, I need your full support."

"Only with your help can I possibly enter the Profound Tier in a short time."

"Huh?"

The ten ladies were momentarily stunned, not expecting Xia Feng to ask for their help at this moment.

But they quickly nodded; helping their husband was a duty they couldn't shirk as wives.

"Husband, just tell us how we can assist in your cultivation,"

The Celestial Talisman Saintess, Li Shiqing, stepped forward lightly, brushing her white little hand against Xia Feng's face, and chuckled.

The cool little hand brought Xia Feng a warmth, and he immediately held Li Shiqing's small hand, then, gaining strength, embraced her in his arms.

Then, with a mischievous smile, Xia Feng said, "Well then, ten Great Dao Rules, let's start with cultivating the Talisman Dao Rules today."

While the Celestial Talisman Saintess Li Qingxue was momentarily in a daze, Xia Feng directly embraced her delicate body and walked towards the room of the City Lord's Mansion.

As he walked, he continued smiling and saying to the other saintesses, "Today we'll cultivate the Great Dao of Celestial Talisman, and later, I will seek you out to cultivate the remaining nine Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!"

"Husband, you don't mean..." The Celestial Talisman Saintess Li Qingxue's snow-white face instantly flushed bright red, and her usually calm demeanor was temporarily unsure of how to handle this situation.

"Yes, dual cultivation."

Xia Feng shamelessly admitted.

He nodded and said, "On my own, the cultivation is too slow, and my perception and understanding of the ten rules are limited."

"At this moment, I can only rely on your understanding of this Dao to reach a higher level."

"I hope you will pour out all your understanding of your Dao without any reservation."

Xia Feng stated most solemnly.

Soon, the door of the City Lord's Mansion was closed.

Quickly, a burst of spiritual power from the Great Dao of Talisman erupted in the air, as Xia Feng's comprehension of the Great Dao of Talisman began to rise layer by layer...
