After a long time, Xia Tianming slowly opened his eyes.

"I still need the Divine Fire."

Xia Tianming abruptly uttered an unfamiliar term, leaving everyone in a daze.

"What is the Divine Fire?" Xia Qingyang asked.

"I have sensed the condition of my body. Indeed, my physique has transformed into a Divine Body, but if I want all my Spiritual Power to convert into Divine Power, I need to wait for the Great Dao to fully integrate into me," Xia Tianming explained.

"Only after truly mastering the path of space will the Divine Fire ignite, which also means becoming a true Martial God."

"Before the Divine Fire is ignited, one can only be called a Demigod."

"Is igniting the Divine Fire difficult? Is it like undergoing the Divine Tribulation, with a nine lives and one death chance..." Xia Qingyang hastily asked, but he couldn't help but pause when it came to the Divine Tribulation.

If it were really a nine lives and one death situation, he would feel a bit more balanced, but was Xia Tianming truly in such peril...

"Don't worry, ancestors," Xia Tianming smiled. He naturally understood that the ultimate goal of successive Emperors of the Xia was to become Martial Gods, so they would care about the issue of the Divine Fire.

"The transformation of the Divine Body is complete; only time remains."

"Having condensed a Divine Body, there's no longer a limit to one's lifespan. Divine Power will also gradually convert with the absorption of the Great Dao; it's just a matter of time."

"I have the Divine Artifact Void Cauldron, which shares the same origin with the path of space, accelerating the ignition of the Divine Fire significantly, perhaps half a year, maybe a year."

Xia Tianming assessed his situation.

The Xia Emperors suddenly realized.

According to Xia Tianming, in half a year or a year, the Great Xia Empire might truly produce a Martial God.

And even if Xia Tianming isn't a true Martial God yet, a Demigod is enough to dominate the world!

"The Xia Family producing a divine being, truly heaven-sent for our clan!"

"That Rizhao Empire beside us has been making a lot of noise, haven't they?"

"Tianming, when should we find a day to go flatten the Imperial Capital of Rizhao Empire together!"

"Damn it, the eighth Cyan Emperor's antics were so disgusting during my reign that I couldn't eat for quite a while, I can't let this go!"

The eleventh Xia Emperor thought about the previous incident where Rizhao Empire invaded the border and demanded compensation, infuriating him to the point of jumping up and down.

"Yes, yes, but Tianming is already a Demigod now, so whether we push Rizhao Empire or not isn't important. I think he should guide us first, as my days are numbered!"

The ninth Xia Emperor hurriedly spoke, eager to cling onto his leg.

After all, his primary goal was to break the damn lifespan limit and become a true Martial God powerhouse!

"Nonsense, get in line. When it comes to age, Xia Haiwei and I haven't even said anything, so why are you speaking?" Xia Qingyang said, instantly fuming, giving the ninth Xia Emperor a smack on the back of the head.

"If there's any guidance to be given, it should start with us. What do you say, Tianming?"

Xia Tianming smiled and nodded.

"The ancestors are right. During this time, I will impart the insights of breaking through to becoming a Martial God to you all."

"Thank you, ancestors, for safeguarding my path during this breakthrough."

"No need to be so formal; after all, we are all a family connected by blood," Xia Qingyang waved his hand with a smile.

Standing aside, Xia Donghai showed hesitance. He finally mustered the courage to step forward, only to be greeted by Xia Tianming's cold gaze.

"However... if you have not yet reached the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign, perhaps it's better to improve your strength first. You still lack many things and should take it step by step."

"If I were to teach you too many overpowered techniques prematurely, it might not be good for you."

Upon hearing this, the last three Xia Emperors immediately frowned, but only Xia Donghai stood there frozen.

He understood very well why Xia Tianming said this.

Being only at the Celestial Tier Fifth Layer, he was far, far behind these ancestors.

To reach the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer, it would take at least tens of thousands of years.

This meant that for those tens of thousands of years, Xia Tianming wouldn't provide him any support at all.

In simple terms:

Xia Donghai, who do you think you are to deserve Xia Tianming's help?

Xia Tianming didn't care about Xia Donghai's thoughts. Since certain actions were taken, there were consequences to face.

This breakthrough to Martial God marks the end here.

Seeing a living Demigod appear before them, even the ten Xia Emperors lost the desire to continue their seclusion.

They stepped out of Dragon Hall, waiting for Xia Tianming's personal guidance.

Xia Tianming returned to Dragon Hall with Xia Feng, but Xia Feng unexpectedly found that his grandfather didn't look too well.

After returning to the Imperial Study together, Xia Tianming let out a heavy sigh.

"Grandfather, wasn't breaking through to Martial God a good thing? Why the sigh?" Xia Feng asked, puzzled.

Xia Tianming shook his head, refraining from answering Xia Feng's question.

He brought out the Void Cauldron, then shockingly performed a secret technique to slice his wrist right before Xia Feng's eyes!

"Buzz!"

A buzzing sound arose as the link between the Void Cauldron and Xia Tianming began to intermittently sever until a "crack" marked the complete disconnection.

"What are you doing...?"

Xia Feng was stunned, not understanding why his grandfather would abruptly do this.

Why would he willingly sever the connection with the Void Cauldron?

"I know you're confused, but I'll explain it to you in a moment," Xia Tianming said, looking into Xia Feng's eyes. "For now, just recognize the Void Cauldron as your master and store it in your Storage Space."

Despite his confusion, seeing Xia Tianming's earnest gaze, Xia Feng complied.

His Essence Blood dropped, absorbed by the Void Cauldron, which, having already been tamed by Xia Tianming, did not resist the Xia Feng sharing its origin.

Soon, a faint connection formed between the person and the artifact.

Even though this was a preliminary recognition, Xia Feng could already use his mind to store it in his Storage Ring.

"Clink."

With a clear sound, the Void Cauldron vanished in front of them.

"Very good."

Xia Tianming nodded contently upon seeing this.

"Xiao Feng, entrusting the Void Cauldron to anyone else would make me uneasy, but you're the most suitable."

"Grandfather, did you do this because you're afraid someone might take the Void Cauldron away?"

Xia Feng thought for a moment and said seriously.

Xia Tianming first smiled at these words, then sighed again, gazing with concern into the distance.

"You're indeed my grandson, Xia Tianming's wise child."

"Someone is approaching."

"During my breakthrough to becoming a Martial God, I could sense some gaze cast my way."

"If I am not mistaken, it should be someone from the Infinite Divine Domain."
