The Celestial Wind Empire's Emperor Tianfeng was initially somewhat anxious, discussing daily with his civil and military officials on how to respond to the situation.

He did not want to surrender the entire nation, but seeing the previous lessons from the Great Chu Empire, he felt that if surrendering could spare their lives, it might be worth it.

After all, it was certainly better than being smashed into a bloody mist, wasn't it?

However, seeing Xia Feng's actions, which could only be described as foolish probing, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Though this Great Xia Emperor's Son was exceptionally talented, he was, after all, young and hadn't experienced much warfare.

Furthermore, no one had ever fought naval battles across the sea for so many years, so it was only natural for him to make foolish moves.

Anyone who has been a general for a few years and fought a few battles should know that.

The greatest fear in marching is the scattering of troops.

If indeed a million-strong army charged directly, Emperor Tianfeng felt he had no chance of winning.

But if Xia Feng dared to separate his soldiers, transporting only tens of thousands by ship at a time, even a hundred thousand, Emperor Tianfeng felt he might be able to have a face-off with the Great Xia Emperor's Son.

He might even win.

If he truly could win, then he would have set an unprecedented example.

Thinking of this, Emperor Tianfeng was so excited that he couldn't even sleep, watching Xia Feng's situation day by day.

But Xia Feng was completely unperturbed.

He had his own plans, and now letting the ships go out to sea was merely an act to confuse everyone.

As expected, the ships, for whatever material they were made from, had an extremely fragile structure and were torn apart by the waves within half a day.

Xia Feng twitched his mouth slightly and turned to glare at Gu Sha Grand General.

"I asked you to find a not-so-sturdy ship, not to prepare an utterly flimsy one!"

Beside him, Chu Yue, who had no experience campaigning with Xia Feng, was still worried at this moment.

"Emperor's Son, these ships can't possibly cross the sea, and we have too many soldiers. We don't have that many ships either."

Xia Feng turned to look at him: "What day is it now?"

Chu Yue, not understanding his meaning, replied: "It's already the beginning of winter."

Xia Feng nodded: "Then it's almost the winter solstice..."

Chu Yue became even more confused, but the nearby Chen Hongyu, having become familiar with Chu Yue during this period, knew this person wasn't bad-natured.

Moreover, he was young, at a stage of fervent patriotism and adoration for the Emperor's Son.

He wrapped his arm around Chu Yue's neck: "Kid, why ask so many questions. The Emperor's Son surely has his plan."

Chu Yue, being dragged by his neck, still showed traces of worry: "But the Emperor's Son..."

"Enough, hasn't the Emperor's Son won enough battles?"

"The Emperor's Son is best at winning with fewer troops; you just stop worrying and trust the Emperor's Son."

Chu Yue reluctantly set aside his concerns but still kept a close eye on the ships going out to sea.

In the end, over ten days, more than twenty ships had broken apart, making Chu Yue so anxious that he almost developed ulcers.

"Emperor's Son, this won't do. We've already lost over twenty ships. If this continues, there'll be no ships left."

Xia Feng turned to glance at him, smiling without saying a word: "Don't worry, I'm using broken ships, many of which are already scrapped, so it's no big deal."

The more he talked like this, the more anxious Chu Yue became: "Emperor's Son, I don't understand..."

Before he could finish speaking, an attendant reported at the door: "Emperor's Son, an urgent report from the Celestial Wind Empire."

Xia Feng's lips curved slightly: "Enter."

He took the scroll, perusing it carefully, the smile on his face continuing to widen.

Beside him, Chu Yue looked puzzled: "Emperor's Son, is there good news?"

Xia Feng slightly tilted his head, producing a cracking sound: "It's good news, sort of."

"Gu Sha! Gather all the soldiers by the sea, we're preparing to cross."

Chu Yue was even more puzzled, but Gu Sha across from him didn't even ask, directly replying: "Yes, Your Highness the Emperor's Son!"

Xia Feng adjusted his armor and was the first to step out of the tent.

Chen Hongyu anchored Chu Yue's neck: "Good luck, kid, you'll soon see the Divine Techniques of His Lord the Emperor's Son."

Chu Yue looked even more bewildered and puzzled: "What?"

He followed Chen Hongyu outside, where a million soldiers were orderly arranging their formations, with no one questioning the sudden orders from Gu Sha.

Everyone was executing commands, even if what Gu Sha said seemed like a fairy-tale, there was no doubt.

Chen Hongyu patted Chu Yue's shoulder: "Kid, to keep up with His Lord the Emperor's Son, the first thing you need to learn is to be like them."

Chu Yue paused, uncertainly speaking, "Obey orders?"

Chen Hongyu rolled his eyes, increasing the grip a bit: "It's to trust the Emperor's Son, you fool!"

Chu Yue still wanted to say something, but that's the Northeast Sea, and even if the Emperor's Son is incredible...

But the next scene choked off all the words he wanted to say.

Xia Feng stood at the sea's edge, bending slightly, a faint blue Divine Power spreading from his palm.

This past half-year, he hadn't been idle, striving daily to transform the Spiritual Qi within his body.

Although he had yet to ignite the Divine Fire, the Spiritual Qi within him was beginning to gradually metamorphose into Divine Power.

This layer of blue Divine Power's light wasn't glaring, yet it was impossible for anyone to ignore.

The next moment, Xia Feng plunged his hand into the seawater, and an extreme coldness instantly spread across it.

Chu Yue instinctively opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but that's the ocean.

That was a body of water...one where the waves were particularly turbulent, even having storms...

But the next instant, something against the normal happened.

That sea, which seemed without boundary, began to freeze under Xia Feng's hand.

A layer of ice, one meter thick, formed a bridge over a hundred meters wide.

Let alone Chu Yue, even the soldiers who had every faith in the Emperor's Son were stunned by the miracle unfolding before them.

This was a possibility they had never considered.

After freezing that part of the sea, Xia Feng took a couple of breaths.

Even for him, using so much Divine Power to freeze the sea was a bit taxing.

However, now he can use the Power of Faith to merge other Great Dao Rules into the Great Dao of Extreme Ice, so although the consumption is great, it's still manageable.

Gu Sha Grand General was the first to come back to his senses, shouting to the orderly: "Pass the word, all soldiers, in formations of ten thousand, follow the Emperor's Son for the campaign!"

The long horn sounded, as Gu Sha and Chen Hongyu followed behind the Emperor's Son, the massive force began advancing forward swiftly.

Xia Feng had consolidated the ice bridge to be wide, accommodating enough soldiers to march at once.

Due to the distance being so vast, Xia Feng recalibrated the ice bridge once in the middle.

Combining the two ice bridges, Great Xia's million-strong army quickly reached the Northern Continent, catching the Celestial Wind Empire's forces by surprise.
