Chapter 124: The Schemes of Summer Eastsea and His Son

"Heaven Rank Martial Emperor, seven days?" Summer Bright was a bit surprised, unsure what his grandson was thinking.

This is clearly impossible, how could he... wait!

Summer Bright seemed to have thought of something; he turned his head to look at Xia Feng.

"A single day's dream is ten thousand years; we now have a full seventy thousand years, we can't just waste it, right?"

Xia Feng smiled.

As soon as he said this, Summer Bright's eyes revealed a look of ecstasy.

"That's right, seventy thousand years, I almost forgot about this!"

"Within these seventy thousand years, as long as Grandpa you can break through to above Heaven Rank Sixth Level, coupled with the Void Cauldron, even if they are the Ten Great Xia Emperors from previous generations, it won't be easy for them to take the Void Cauldron!"

Xia Feng let out a cold snort, turned his head to look in the direction of the imperial palace, his eyes as cold as an iceberg.

Summer Bright couldn't help but burst into laughter; he, too, had been thinking about how to defeat Summer Skyfate in battle during this period, but had forgotten that his grandson had such a Heaven-Defying cultivation method.

"Okay, although I no longer have the Emperor Body and am now a Mortal body, with the help of the Void Cauldron, it won't be a problem to condense more than a dozen Great Dao rules!"

"Little Feng, come with me."

Summer Bright leaped from the window, suddenly soared into the sky, and then flew towards the back of the Imperial Capital.

Xia Feng also followed behind Summer Bright, accompanying him the entire way.

The grandpa and grandson, one after the other, flew like this for a full half an hour.

When Summer Bright left the Imperial Capital, he did his best to suppress his Aura to avoid causing trouble, so his speed was a bit slower.

But after they were ten thousand li away from the Imperial Capital, Summer Bright suddenly erupted with the full speed of an Earth Rank Martial Emperor, leaving Xia Feng far behind.

Then, in a deep mountain shrouded in thick fog, Summer Bright landed.

Xia Feng scanned his surroundings and found that he was actually unable to sense nearby objects with his spiritual energy.

This surprised him; one must know that he was already a Half-Emperor at this point, and these thick fogs could actually block even his senses?

"Mist Beast Mountain, a gathering place for Sacred Beasts in the Great Xia Empire that is comparable to a Top-Grade Saint Realm."

Summer Bright explained to Xia Feng: "These thick fogs can isolate detection below the Earth Rank Martial Emperor level. If it's a bit further away, even a Heaven Rank Martial Emperor would have difficulty sensing it."

"Don't underestimate this place; it once produced an Emperor-level beast of the Huang Realm."

"There used to be Emperor beasts, so now there aren't any?" Xia Feng was a little dumbfounded; he didn't expect this place to have so much history.

"That's right. When I first broke through to the Huang Realm Martial Emperor, I always wanted to find someone to spar with. Later, I heard that there were Emperor beasts harming the surrounding towns here, so I took the initiative to bring troops over."

Summer Bright laughed heartily.

Alright, so it turns out that strange beast was dealt with by his Grandpa. Xia Feng's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that this place had become ordinary.

Under Summer Bright's lead, the two finally arrived at a mountain cave.

This mountain cave was ten meters wide and about five meters high. The thick fog inside was even denser. Xia Feng followed closely behind Summer Bright. Once Summer Bright disappeared into the thick fog, it was difficult for him to sense the other party's Aura.

"This is it, the former hiding place of that Mountain Rock Dragon Lizard. Cultivating here, no matter how much commotion is caused, it won't spread out."

Summer Bright stopped his steps. He knocked on the hard rock walls around him, then nodded and said.

Xia Feng looked intently and saw that these rock walls actually seemed like living things, actively swallowing and exhaling the thick fog, as if the outside thick fog was created by these rock walls.

"The shed skin left behind by the Mountain Rock Dragon Lizard when it transformed before. This thing is very crafty; its fighting ability is average, but its ability to hide itself is stronger than anyone else's." Summer Bright looked at Xia Feng's puzzled expression and took the initiative to explain to him.

Then, Summer Bright threw out a bead, and with them as the center, a space with clear air was immediately cleared out.

Dust-Repelling Bead. It can be used in any environment and terrain in the wild, and can independently create an area suitable for people to rest.

This thing isn't very precious; some Martial Emperors and Martial Saints who enjoy exploring treasures often carry it.

It wasn't early now, so the two sat down cross-legged and began to enter the dream world.

Under Xia Feng's guidance, Summer Skyfate quickly arrived at the dream world again.

After the life-and-death battle with Summer Skyfate, Summer Skyfate's comprehension of the Space Great Dao reached another level. By the five hundredth year, he had broken through a minor Realm. This speed made Xia Feng exclaim in admiration.

Compared to his Grandpa, his speed was much slower.

The Supreme Art had previously withstood Xia Naiwu's full-strength blow. At this time, its golden characteristic had dissipated, turning into an extremely ordinary Saint-level Superb Cultivation Technique.

Xia Feng studied it for a long time but couldn't find a way to restore it to its original state. In his helplessness, he could only abandon the Supreme Art and begin to focus on condensing Great Dao rules.

If he wasn't mistaken, for the Supreme Art to return to its previous state, he would likely need to find the remaining half of the Supreme Art.

He would put this matter aside for now. What Xia Feng needed to do now was to become a true Martial Emperor.

The grandpa and grandson continuously cultivated, and Summer Skyfate on his side wasn't idle either.

After the great battle with Summer Skyfate, having failed, his mind was extremely twisted, his eyes blood-red, and he didn't even know how to restrain himself. At this moment, he was more like a demon than a demon.

"What state are you in!?"

Summer Eastsea stood in front of him, his gaze suddenly turned cold, and then he fiercely slapped him across the face.

This slap was extremely fast. Summer Skyfate couldn't dodge it, nor did he dare to dodge it, and could only endure this slap.

A blow from a Heaven Rank Fifth Level Martial Emperor, even when holding back, made him dizzy and see stars.

The demonization on his body quickly disappeared, and his eyes returned to their original state.

"Truly a piece of trash. You only lost the position of Emperor; are you finished from now on?"

Summer Eastsea pointed at him coldly, then sat back down, revealing a look of disappointment.

"Back then, I didn't punish you when you framed your older brother because your character and schemes made me approve of you."

"Your older brother was a martial arts fanatic; he repeatedly told me he didn't want to be the Xia Emperor. But he has an Heavenly Emperor Body; if he doesn't become the Xia Emperor, then who will? I need more time to break through to the Martial God level!"

"Therefore, when you schemed and obtained the Emperor Body, I sided with you and didn't punish you."

"Look at you now, where is your wisdom? Where are your methods of achieving your goals at any cost? I should have stuck to choosing your older brother back then!"

With this scolding, Summer Skyfate finally sobered up. He quickly knelt down and said, "Father, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry."

"What are your plans next?" Summer Eastsea sat on the chair, looking at him coldly.

Summer Bright lowered his head, a sinister light flashed in his eyes, and then he laid out his daytime idea.

"Summer Skyfate was able to defeat me simply by relying on his Divine Artifact. Without his Divine Artifact, he's nothing!"

Chapter 125: Seventy Thousand Years, Grandpa Breaks Through to Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor

Summer Skyfate gritted his teeth tightly. Thinking of that figure, his eyes almost spat fire.

Summer Eastsea looked at him coldly, signaling him to continue speaking.

"Seven days later, the Old Ancestors from previous generations will compete for the Void Cauldron. After the Void Cauldron is taken away, I will challenge him again. Without the Void Cauldron, I can easily kill him!"

"Not bad, you're not completely hopeless yet." Summer Eastsea nodded, then with a wave of his hand, three black spheres containing terrifying power appeared before Summer Skyfate.

Summer Skyfate felt extreme terror from these three spheres. This terror could even threaten his life.

He widened his eyes in horror, looking at Summer Eastsea.

"These are Sky Thunder Blast Beads. In five thousand years, I only condensed three." Summer Eastsea said expressionlessly.

"The power of each one is no less than my full-strength blow. To be on the safe side, take these things."

"Thank you, Father! Your son will definitely not disappoint you and will surely retake the position of Xia Emperor!"

Summer Skyfate, who had obtained the Sky Thunder Blast Beads, immediately burst into ecstasy. With this thing, Summer Bright was certain to die!

Summer Bright understood his Father's meaning, quickly put away the three Sky Thunder Blast Beads, and then kowtowed three times to Summer Eastsea.

"Go, and don't disappoint me this time." Summer Eastsea rubbed his temples, then waved his hand casually.

Summer Skyfate nodded quickly, then suddenly flickered and disappeared from the spot.

"Retreading the Emperor's Path twice, a Mortal body breaking through to Earth Rank Martial Emperor in fifty years, and even obtaining a Divine Artifact... Could my choice have been wrong?"

After Summer Skyfate left, Summer Eastsea looked into the distance with his eyes and said faintly.

Inside the Imperial Dragon Hall, these Old Ancestor Xia Emperors of the Xia Family also began to quietly prepare for the great battle seven days later.

During this time, they did not choose to improve their strength, but instead actively studied the combat characteristics of the other Xia Emperors, wanting to find a way to restrain them.

The appearance of Summer Bright and the Void Cauldron immediately made the stagnant Great Xia Empire begin to become active.

Everyone had their own thoughts, moving forward for their own goals.

...

A talent with Superb potential, when placed in a Dynasty or Holy Land, would be a key cultivation target.

However, in front of an Empire, Superb potential is just an extremely ordinary existence.

He watched the eleven Martial Emperors of Lingxiao Pavilion besiege Summer Bright, watched the desperate battle between Summer Bright and Summer Bright, and even the heaven-reaching power of the Divine Artifact Void Cauldron.

Yet, despite all this, Xia Feng did not successfully break through to become a Martial Emperor within twenty to thirty thousand years.

The Great Dao rules, in his eyes, had become something profound and mysterious, something he couldn't grasp no matter how hard he tried.

In contrast, Summer Bright, with the help of the Void Domain, made rapid progress in his Realm over two thousand years, directly breaking through to the Realm of Earth Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor!
