After the celebration feast, Xia Feng immediately began to focus on cultivation.
His talent had already improved significantly, and the cultivation with the Dream Realm Pearl would complement it even more.
Over at the Rizhao Empire, things seemed a bit too strange this time; Xia Feng always felt that something bad might happen.
They surrendered too quickly, without any reason at all.
Perhaps it wasn't just him; Xia Tianming might have the same concern.
On the night Xia Feng returned, Xia Tianming proactively requested that for the next ten days, Xia Feng must accompany him in training.
After advancing to the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign, Xia Tianming, with Xia Feng's help, had been cultivating continuously for two hundred thousand years.
He felt like he had grasped something, but when he opened his palm, it was utterly empty.
This feeling made Xia Tianming uncomfortable; he really wanted to know what he had found.
Also, the Rizhao Empire unsettled him a bit; at any moment, only having powerful strength in his own hands could decide everything!
Xia Feng nodded, so in the following ten days, as always, he took the ten women into the Dream Realm in batches to cultivate with his parents and grandfather.
Year after year of cultivation, at the fifty-thousandth year, Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian finally took that last step to become Half-Emperors, turning into complete Martial Sovereigns.
Though they were Yellow Tier First Layer Martial Sovereigns, they had entered the strongest combat power system of the Empire.
Xia Feng and the ten women's progress was rapid as well; after fifty thousand years, Xia Feng became an Earth Tier Eighth Layer Martial Sovereign, while the ten women uniformly advanced to Earth Tier Sixth Layer Martial Sovereigns.
At the end of the fifty-thousandth year, Xia Tianming's eyes suddenly became incredibly clear.
After waking up, he grabbed Xia Feng's wrist, a hint of wild joy flashing in his eyes.
"Xiao Feng, I got it, I know what it is!"
"So, the end of the Martial God's path is like this: after condensing forty-nine Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, one must sever all of oneself, condense a Divine Body, convert Divine Power, and turn the complete Heavenly Dao integration into part of oneself!"
"Transforming the power of heaven and earth into one's authority, this is the Martial God!"
"Transformation, transformation... one needs not only the confidence to defy the heavens but also the courage to contest authority with the Heavenly Dao..."
Xia Feng listened to Xia Tianming's excited muttering, feeling bewildered.
He could understand the surface meaning, but his grandfather's current demeanor left him totally confused.
"Forget it, forget it; you haven't reached this realm yet, and I can't explain some things. When you achieve the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign, I'll pass it on to you!"
Xia Tianming laughed heartily, patting Xia Feng's shoulder vigorously, then scratched his head somewhat sheepishly.
"Xiao Feng, grandpa has a personal request..."
"Grandpa, just say it; no need to be so polite with me."
"Your cultivation method feedback is a bit slow; I'm thinking, for the time being, could you refrain from bringing my daughters-in-law and Xia Naiwen in..."
At this point, Xia Feng immediately understood Xia Tianming's intent.
For him, the cultivation feedback in the Dream Realm was a hundred percent, but for others, it was only about seventy to eighty percent.
Seeing that Xia Tianming found a method to break through the Martial God barrier, it was normal for him to be anxious.
If fewer people were brought into the Dream Realm, the spare energy could be fed back to Xia Tianming, allowing him to achieve a hundred percent positive feedback.
"No problem, grandpa. Your breakthrough to Martial God is what's important; your daughters-in-law certainly think so too!"
Xia Feng nodded with a smile.
Honestly, he and the ten women still have a very long time together, and they aren't lacking this bit of cultivation time.
Conversely, Xia Tianming's breakthrough in realm is something different; if he takes that step, the entire Great Xia Empire will transcend!
No matter how many Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereigns an empire has, it can only remain an empire.
But if one reaches that realm, the empire can ascend, becoming the supreme Divine Domain!
Martial God experts possess Divine Soul Divine Power, living as long as heaven, as old as earth!
If Great Xia Empire has Xia Tianming as a pioneer, the remaining Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns will receive personal guidance from a Martial God expert in the future.
That would be far better than them fumbling around on their own.
Why do many Divine Domains have multiple Martial Gods?
The difference between a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign with a Martial God's guidance and those without is like night and day!
The former's millennium of cultivation can outweigh the latter's hundred thousand years and more!
This is the disparity!
News of Xia Tianming's imminent breakthrough soon reached the ten women and the Xia Naiwen couple.
Everyone was extremely excited; they all knew what a Martial God signified.
So, for the next five days, Xia Feng took Xia Tianming into the Dream Realm, conducting specialized training for him.
Over fifty thousand years, Xia Feng stopped cultivating and instead observed Xia Tianming's comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
This is a path every Martial Sovereign must take, and Xia Feng would walk it in the future too.
Having such a vivid example beside him, witnessing firsthand how a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign transforms.
Opportunities like these are so rare that many Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereigns may not find them even with a lantern.
Xia Feng sat cross-legged quietly feeling the changes in Xia Tianming's aura.
Xia Tianming's realm had reached its peak, and no matter how much he comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it was useless.
At this point, he switched to another cultivation method.
He no longer pondered over what the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was all about or how to learn and control the power of the void.
In his mind, space turned into a void, something undefined.
What is space? How can one master and use space?
These questions began to change from the rote answering of the past.
Xia Tianming stroked his chin, staring intently at the questions overhead.
The original answers were incorrect; to truly master the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and genuinely acquire the authority of Heaven and Earth, he couldn't respond based on pre-designed answers.
What is space, and what is the Dao he cultivates?
Xia Tianming pondered this question for a full thirty thousand years.
It was at the fortieth thousandth year that he began to write.
Xia Feng sat beside him, eyes fixed on him.
"Redefining the Dao of Heaven and Earth... this method..."
Watching Xia Tianming, Xia Feng also contemplated how he should walk his future path to sovereignty.
He was different from ordinary people; Xia Feng cultivated ten different Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. While these unique Great Dao brought him great strength, they seemed to restrict him as well.
If he had to answer, how should he define these ten entirely different Dao?
Vaguely, Xia Feng furrowed his brows, feeling that his future breakthrough to the Martial God would be far more challenging than for most people!
