They instinctively held their son's hand and asked, "Son, are you alright? Our strength has not improved much over the years, perhaps we should just give up."
But Xia Feng did not respond to them.
No, it wasn't that he didn't respond; Xia Feng's throat rolled, and the sound of snoring while asleep rang out.
"..."
"Child's father, is our son asleep?" Mrs. Xia said, half amused and half helpless.
She thought Xia Feng was activating some cultivation technique, but it turned out he was sleeping.
"Maybe he's too tired after the battle today. It was against nine Martial Emperors," Father Xia said awkwardly, with three black lines appearing on his forehead.
"Never mind, let him rest well. Although we don't know what method he's trying to use, it seems to have failed,"
Father Xia sighed, "Let's rest too. Tomorrow morning, let's tidy up things; I'll go to the library to find a map of the Eastern Wilderness Forest. Our son has finally made progress, we mustn't hold him back."
Mrs. Xia nodded in agreement.
So, the two stepped forward, intending to carry the sleeping Xia Feng to the bed.
However, the moment they touched Xia Feng, a kind of incomparable drowsiness rapidly surged over them.
They had no time to react; they felt their eyelids grow heavy and instantly collapsed to the ground.
...
In the Dream Realm.
Father Xia and Mrs. Xia were groggy, entering the Dream Realm for the first time, their consciousness was not clear.
They vaguely remembered, Xia Feng pulling them to a grotto heaven blessed land to meditate and cultivate, constantly absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Meanwhile, Xia Feng directly tossed his Supreme Technique into the sky, its golden pages transmitting the sound of the Great Dao. They instantly felt the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi became more intimate, absorbing faster.
"It really is possible!"
Xia Feng looked at his parents meditating with eyes closed, his heart filled with excitement.
Initially with no idea regarding the Dream Realm Pearl, unexpectedly he found a way to bring people into the dream realm!
Before losing consciousness, Xia Feng kept telling himself to lock onto his parents' aura, bringing them into the dream.
When he fell asleep and his parents stepped forward to carry him to the bed, the aura immediately awakened Xia Feng, promptly, he grabbed onto those two familiar auras, together they entered the dream realm!
"This way, dad and mom's strength can also be improved, at least to have some self-defensive power!"
Xia Feng clenched his fist, exclaiming excitedly.
Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years.
Another thousand years had passed.
In this thousand years, Xia Feng successfully broke through to the Celestial Tier Martial Emperor level, moreover mastered a new divine technique.
Perhaps inspired by pulling people into dreams, the divine technique Xia Feng comprehended was related to the Illusion Realm.
He didn't deliberately cultivate the divine technique, only subconsciously wanted to bring his parents into dreams during his thousand-year slumber.
Through subtle influence, Xia Feng acquired the divine technique.
His eyes slowly faded from blood-red, then stood up excitedly.
"Fantastic, if I had this divine technique earlier, those three wouldn't have escaped that day!"
After testing, Xia Feng named this divine technique Celestial Illusion.
As the name implies, when the enemies' minds are distracted or when they are in a divine split state, Xia Feng can instantly draw them into a dream-like illusion realm.
Before they realize it's an illusion and escape, it will be as if they're asleep, unable to control their bodies in reality!
This is an incredibly powerful controlling ability!
Add the Demon Flute, gifted by Demon Sound Saintess Qi Wan'Er, and there was no way to lose!
Turning his gaze to his parents, with their overwhelmingly strong aura, Xia Feng smiled wider.
After a thousand years of cultivation, the two of them were Celestial Tier Martial Venerables now.
A thousand-year Celestial Tier Martial Venerable breakthrough was faster than Xia Feng when he advanced from Martial King to Earth Tier Martial Venerable!
Both were under a century old.
Father Xia, needless to say, with the bloodline of an Emperor's son wouldn't be too lacking, would it?
Though Mrs. Xia never revealed her origins to Father Xia, marrying the Emperor's son in those days, she surely wasn't of a mundane background!
Very soon, the world constructed by the Dream Realm Pearl began to collapse.
Upon awakening, Xia Feng eagerly looked beside him, at his parents.
"I…" Father Xia was the first to wake up. He seemed still muzzy, patting his forehead, mumbling, "What's happening? I felt like I was cultivating within a dream for a thousand years..."
"I also remember cultivating for an incredibly long time in the dream, seemingly reaching Celestial Tier Martial Venerable level." Mrs. Xia responded with a yawn.
Perhaps it's just my recent desire for power. Son, you've awakened, too?" Father Xia turned to Xia Feng.
However, Xia Feng remained silent, his expression becoming peculiar.
"No, this isn't right." He exclaimed, suddenly standing up, examining his parents with trepidation.
What's going on; evidently, in the dream realm, his parents cultivated to Celestial Tier Martial Venerable, why did their strength remain at Martial King level?
"That wasn't a dream, it truly existed!"
Xia Feng was somewhat flustered, taking a deep breath, he spoke to his parents.
"Think carefully, in the dream realm, you cultivated for a thousand years together, your strength climbed to Celestial Tier Martial Venerable, in its entirety, regarding spiritual Qi condensing into spirit liquid, everything was real!"
Seeing Xia Feng's anxious expression, Father Xia was briefly startled.
"When you say it like that, it seems..."
Frowning, he shut his eyes.
Subsequently, as the vague feeling from the dream realm faded away, Father Xia's consciousness abruptly became clear, his eyes snapped open, immediately unleashing his own momentum!
Boom!
A gust swept through the hall, scattering furniture and sending books flying everywhere.
If it were not for Xia Feng spreading Martial Emperor's Mist to protect, this room might have been obliterated.
"This is the aura of Celestial Tier Martial Venerable!" Mrs. Xia exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, she too recalled everything from the dream, following suit, she started operating spiritual power based on previous insights.
Boom!
Similarly, the aura of Celestial Tier Martial Venerable swept through the surroundings!
"What's happening?!" Patriarch Ma, looking toward the City Lord's Mansion, expressed fear.
"Has someone come to trouble our Young Master again?" Patriarch Li shouted instinctively.
"Impossible, the Martial Emperor was slain by the Young Master; what can two Martial Venerables do? Perhaps they came to seek apprenticeship with the Young Master!" Patriarch Wang retorted dismissively.
His conjecture drew nods from the other two patriarchs.
Who from the Martial Venerables would dare to trouble Xia Feng at the City Lord's Mansion? That would be signing their own death warrant!
Since Xia Feng's rise, their stance towards Martial Venerables shifted from reverence and fear to slight contempt.
Remember, the City Lord bears the Xia surname; they're, after all, Xia Feng's people.
How quickly they forgot their former disdain towards the Xia Family.
