Mrs. Xia was also beside them, tears of excitement streaming down her face as she tightly held her son's hands.
"Well done, my son! I never imagined your strength would be this formidable. Even nine Martial Emperors combined are no match for you! Truly worthy of being my son, the grandson of Emperor Tianming's son!"
He was genuinely happy. Ever since his father passed away, Xia Naiwen hadn't felt this joyous!
All these years, he forced himself to bury those painful memories, living a restrained life, but it slightly improved after Xia Feng was born.
But today, he vented his frustrations. Watching Xia Feng battle those nine people in the sky, slaying them one by one, he finally experienced the exhilarating joy of triumph.
"Dad..."
Sensing his father's excitement, Xia Feng said nothing. Instead, he opened his arms and tightly embraced the man before him, allowing him to vent his emotions.
Yes, for all these years, his parents lived in constant fear.
But why?
His grandfather had done nothing wrong, that old bastard...
In Xia Feng's eyes, there was a flicker of anger. He took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing his fury.
After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Father Xia and Mrs. Xia had mostly vented their emotions, allowing Xia Feng to finally step out of Father Xia's embrace.
"Dad, Mom, I only spared three people from the Three Great Dynasties, they will come for revenge." Xia Feng looked into the distance, frowning deeply.
He wasn't worried about the enemies coming for him; he feared most that they would use his parents to coerce him.
Both of them are at the Martial King Realm, and Mother's strength is somewhat lacking, merely a Yellow Tier Fourth Layer Martial King.
Not to mention if a Martial Emperor attacks, even the weakest Martial Venerable would be invincible to them.
Thinking about this, Xia Feng couldn't help but feel anxious.
His strength had grown to withstand the dynasty's strongmen, but what about his parents?
Father Xia seemed to see through Xia Feng's thoughts. No one knows a child better than their father; after all, he watched this boy grow up.
"Son, now you're a Martial Emperor; enemies might arrive at any time. Your mother and I might become a burden to you."
"Perhaps we should leave first, take the route through the Eastern Wilderness Forest, and within fifteen days, we'll reach the borders of the Rizhao Empire."
"Once we get there, we'll hide. When your strength is formidable..."
"No way!"
Before Father Xia finished speaking, Xia Feng firmly rejected.
"On the way to the Eastern Wilderness Forest, there are countless Spirit and Fierce Beasts. It's right at the border intersection, mostly a lawless area filled with fugitives, escapees, and desperate criminals. Dad, I won't agree to you going there!"
Joking aside, heading to the Rizhao Empire via the Eastern Wilderness Forest is a true perilous journey, where one might carelessly be killed by powerful Spirit Beasts or border criminals!
Even Martial Emperors tread cautiously in the Eastern Wilderness Forest.
Not to mention his parents are only Martial Kings!
"Child, I understand, but if we stay in Xingyu City, it will definitely implicate you." Father Xia sighed, "On the contrary, going to the Eastern Wilderness Forest gives us a glimmer of hope. You can also have the freedom, and later, when you are powerful enough, come find us."
Mrs. Xia wiped her tears, holding onto Father Xia's arm, putting on a light-hearted appearance.
"Son, don't worry, we know the route in the Eastern Wilderness Forest well, with the map left by your grandfather. We'll be alright."
"We've weathered so many storms over the years; this will pass safely too. Listen to your mother, don't be stubborn."
Xia Feng clenched his fists tightly, his eyes slightly red.
Is it because of insufficient strength?
Because of insufficient strength, his parents were willing to venture into a practically deadly place as Martial Kings for his sake.
Damn, if only his parents could cultivate in the Dream Realm like he did!
Wait a minute...
Xia Feng paused; cultivating in the Dream Realm?
These days, he had been cultivating in the Dream Realm alone, but could he possibly bring others into the Dream as well?
Before, when the Ten Top Grade Saintesses approached him, they also mentioned some things about the Dream Realm and him.
Although Xia Feng had no memory of it, but...
Does this mean the Dream Realm Pearl could be effective for others too?
Thinking of this, Xia Feng's breath quickened.
"No need, no need to go to the Eastern Wilderness Forest! I have a solution!"
He turned around, quickly walked up to his parents, grabbed them, and excitedly said, "Dad, Mom, I have a method, which might rapidly enhance your strength."
"That way, you won't have to worry about the enemies showing up and being helpless!"
"Enhance our strength?" Father Xia looked puzzled, then shook his head, "Son, your mother and I have very ordinary aptitude. After so many years, we're still just Martial Kings; the bottleneck is there. It'll take hundreds of years to reach Martial Venerable."
"No, it won't take hundreds of years, believe me!" Xia Feng shook his head with a firm look.
Father Xia and Mrs. Xia exchanged glances, hesitant to speak.
But thinking about Xia Feng's rapid progress in strength recently, along with their trust in their son, they ultimately decided to try their son's method.
That night, Xia Feng brought his bewildered parents to sit in the hall together.
Both felt a bit at a loss, unsure of what Xia Feng was up to.
They only saw Xia Feng close his eyes, frown continuously, and sweat seeping from his brow.
Meanwhile, Xia Feng was concentrating his entire mind on the Dream Realm Pearl within his sea of consciousness.
"How do I bring people in?"
The little figure formed by Spiritual Sense looked at the Dream Realm Pearl, rubbing its chin, continuously pondering.
He attempted to use Spiritual Qi to activate the Dream Realm Pearl, hoping it might establish a link with the two outside.
But the Dream Realm Pearl remained unmoved.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Xia Feng was getting anxious.
No matter what method he used, the pearl just hung peacefully in his sea of consciousness, spinning quietly.
He took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.
He actively recalled the process of entering the Dream Realm before.
First, he closed his eyes, then went to sleep, outlining the scenes and events he wanted to appear in his mind...
Once he fell into the Dream, everything began to operate according to the preset program.
So, in the waking state, is it impossible to mobilize the Dream Realm Pearl?
Thinking this, with no other options, Xia Feng didn't hesitate any longer and immediately began to relax his mind, forcing himself to fall asleep.
Outside, Father Xia and Mrs. Xia saw Xia Feng sometimes breathing quickly and then sweating nervously, which left them very concerned.
They didn't know what cultivation technique their son was using, but it seemed quite painful.
