Thinking about how I've been unable to contact Xia Tianming in the Dream Realm Pearl recently, the mood of Xia Feng receiving his title was shrouded with some gloom.
After the Great Xia Guards publicly announced it, Xia Feng waved his hand: "Come in, I'm just a bit worried about my parents' health."
The Great Xia Guards obediently followed Xia Feng into the main tent, and then Xia Feng waved his hand to dismiss everyone else.
Chu Yue and Feng Yu wanted to stay, but since they had only surrendered recently, although their performances were quite good, Xia Feng trusted them.
But they also understood that Xia Feng's attitude indicated that there were important matters to attend to, and considering their shallow roots, it was more appropriate to avoid causing trouble in such circumstances.
With that in mind, the two of them saluted Xia Feng and then left the room.
"Has there been any major events in the court recently?"
Xia Feng straightforwardly asked, as he had been busy with sieges lately.
Father Xia and Mrs. Xia were tasked in the court with allocating personnel to take over the Empire territories Xia Feng had captured, keeping them extremely busy.
As a result, they rarely entered the Dream Realm Pearl for cultivation, meeting once in ten days was considered lucky.
Every time their demeanor was particularly normal, not like anything major had happened.
But the sudden unease in Xia Feng's heart left him unable to ignore it, so he had to grab a guard to inquire in detail.
The guard recalled: "Previously, there was some dispute in the court over your crossing the Northeast Sea, but nothing else major."
Xia Feng knew of this matter. Initially, to deceive the nations of the Northern Continent, he feigned madness and foolishness at the Great Chu border.
Clearly able to cross the sea, he pretended to be weak, resulting in considerable hesitation among the court ministers.
The conservative faction believed that capturing the Eastern Continent was already difficult, and there was no need to provoke other continents, which would make the journey far distant and difficult to bring soldiers along.
This issue was mentioned twice in the Dream Realm Pearl by Xia Naiwen, who seemed quite impatient with those old immovables, yet helpless.
Xia Feng let out a long breath, realizing that he seized the Northern Continent, and his father's demeanor was likely to slap those old immovables in the face.
Thinking of this, he turned again to ask the guard: "Is there anything else?"
The guard thought long and hard, but eventually shook his head: "Haven't heard of anything else."
Xia Feng felt slightly more at ease and instructed the guard to rest.
Once the tent was empty, he then unfolded the holy edict to examine it closely.
Every word was personally written by his father, expressing love and praise for Xia Feng.
The corners of his lips slightly curved up. Just as he prepared to store the holy edict in his storage ring, he noticed a faint golden-white light emanating from the Dream Realm Pearl.
Then it absorbed the holy edict piece by piece as if devouring it.
Xia Feng's expression was horrified, instinctively trying to grab the holy edict written by his father, but he only managed to catch the end of it.
The Devouring power of the Dream Realm Pearl was something Xia Feng, a demigod, could not resist; it easily consumed the last part.
Just as Xia Feng, suspicious and uncertain, was ready to explore the unusualness of the Dream Realm Pearl, overwhelming bloody mist directly flooded into the Dream Realm Pearl.
Compared to the previous slow absorption of power of faith through statues, the gathered power of faith this time almost toppled Xia Feng over completely.
If not for the chair behind him, an embarrassing scene might have occurred.
He ignored the holy edict and concentrated on directing the autonomously gathered faith.
Back in the Dream Realm Pearl, he had simulated igniting divine fire with faith power, and was familiar with controlling these forces.
Outside, noticing some movement, people came over to check.
But seeing Xia Feng quietly seated in the main position, with faint white light shimmering around him, seemingly cultivating,
No one dared to disturb him and withdrew in succession, with Chu Yue and Feng Yu even guarding the area to protect Xia Feng.
Xia Feng did not expect the manipulation of power would take so long, like experiencing a lengthy revelation.
When he returned to his senses, it was a month later.
He introspected himself and saw that transient strand of divine fire within his body, his expression showing a burst of excitement.
This divine fire had not been thoroughly ignited; given his dual cultivation of Ten Dao, the difficulty of igniting divine fire is a thousand times greater than others.
To have such a transient strand of divine fire now is already a very rare thing.
Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets the myriad.
The most rare is this Dao begets one principle; ancestors have always said the beginning is the hardest.
Now Xia Feng's beginning is already well set; with continued earnest absorption of faith power, achieving Martial Godhood is inevitable.
Thinking of this, he touched the Dream Realm Pearl on his chest.
It seems the title from the holy edict formed a certain connection with the Dream Realm Pearl; he felt that almost all the Great Xia people who believed in him had poured their entire faith power into it once and for all.
Normally needing statues to transfer it, eventually only absorbing a tiny part.
Now this letter really saved him a lot of trouble, thinking of this he prepared to reply to his father.
Using the holy edict as a reply letter, Xia Feng is likely to be the unique one.
Just as he was looking for paper and ink everywhere, Chu Yue and Feng Yu, who had guarded him for a month, finally couldn't endure and entered.
"Emperor's Son, has something urgent happened?"
Gu Sha and others had already gathered, Xia Feng had not gone outside to check, although everyone heard the Emperor's Son was comprehending in retreat,
During military campaigns, his ongoing absence can only cause some instability in military morale.
Xia Feng understood this reason, especially as Beiman, despite seeking peace, their faith power output remained unusual.
Additionally, each reigning Khan awaited their surrender ceremony before entering Great Xia Imperial Capital, if he remains absent, those people might harbor ulterior motives.
Thinking of this, he showed a smile: "It's not an urgent matter, it's good news."
He clenched his right fist, rules of Great Dao of Thunder and Lightning and Great Dao of Li Huo simultaneously entwined around his hand.
This display left Feng Yu stunned.
Beside him, Chu Yue was just a Yellow Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign, unaware of its implications, but Feng Yu, as a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign, was aware it was a step to be crossed sooner or later.
"E-E-E-Emperor's Son... this, is this... have you become a Martial God?"
His gaze had heated sparks, appearing even brighter than the divine fire illusion in Xia Feng's body.
Xia Feng knew what he was excited about but shook his head: "I haven't crossed that step yet, but I'm close."
Feng Yu initially felt a bit disappointed, but after reconsidering, whether or not that step was crossed, the Emperor's Son has now grown stronger, which is a fact.
Previously, the Emperor's Son could defeat a Martial God as a demigod, now he must be even more formidable.
