Section 84

Summer Bright didn't dither, quickly walked up, and dripped his essence blood.

However, as the essence blood dripped onto the Void Cauldron, it immediately stopped trembling, as if somewhat discouraged, and settled back in place, motionless.

Summer Bright knew that divine weapons possessed sentience, and this was it disdaining his low cultivation Realm during the process of contact with his essence blood.

But Summer Bright didn't care; he had already gone through great ups and downs, strong winds and heavy rains. A divine weapon recognizing a master wouldn't be enough to stump him.

Fortunately, he directly sat down cross-legged beside the Void Cauldron and began to rebuild his cultivation path, utilizing the surrounding void energy.

The Space Great Dao and spiritual energy within this Void Realm were far beyond what Xingyu City could compare to. In just three years, he broke through to the Martial Venerable Realm in one go.

Another five years passed, and he achieved the Heaven Rank Ninefold Martial Emperor, only a step away from the Martial Saint.

During these eight years, the Void Cauldron remained like a dead object, not moving at all.

But just as he condensed the first set of spatial element rules in the tenth year, achieving the Yellow Rank Martial Emperor, the Void Cauldron trembled slightly again.

Summer Bright's mouth curved upward, knowing that this great cauldron had been trapped in the void for countless years and had long harbored the desire to see the light of day again. Since he specialized in the Space Great Dao and his cultivation Realm was improving so rapidly, this item was also starting to get tempted.

But Summer Bright wasn't in a hurry. He continued to condense the spatial element rules he had condensed before.

Ten, twenty, thirty.

Walking a path already walked once again was incredibly smooth.

What's more, the concentration of spiritual energy within this void world even surpassed the treasure land of the Great Xia Empire, the Eight Gates Azure Mountain.

After the thirtieth void element rule was successfully condensed, the Void Cauldron could no longer resist and actually tilted towards him on its own initiative.

At this point, Summer Bright immediately became pleased. He knew that things had naturally fallen into place.

He dripped his essence blood again, and soon, he formed a connection with the Void Cauldron.

With the help of the Void Cauldron, Summer Bright's cultivation speed advanced by leaps and bounds. In just over ten years, he forcefully rose from the Earth Rank Martial Saint to the Huang Realm Martial Emperor!

Having re-cultivated and obtained the Space Great Dao, he was finally able to use the complete Void Cauldron.

Originally, Summer Bright's plan was to use this void world to at least break through to the Heaven Rank Martial Emperor, so that when he returned to the Great Xia Empire, he would be qualified to reclaim what belonged to him.

But unexpectedly, the spatial Jade Slip he had left behind shattered, and the information about his family being in danger was instantly transmitted to him.

Thus, without any hesitation, he directly embraced the Void Cauldron, tore through another space in Xingyu City, and reappeared in this world!

This time, his appearance, using the Void Cauldron to instantly kill General Liao Changfei, saved Xia Feng and the couple Xia Naiwen.

After learning the whole story, Xia Naiwen and Xia Feng exchanged a glance and couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.

"Old Dad, your Luck... it's simply incredible."

Xia Naiwen shook his head in slight shock. A true divine weapon recognizing him as master, furthermore in a void world that perfectly matched his attributes, and cultivating all the way to Martial Emperor as a Mortal.

This probability was far too low. Perhaps only someone with great Luck like Summer Bright would have a chance to encounter it.

"Grandpa is awesome."

Xia Feng was simpler; he voiced this exclamation from the bottom of his heart.

Leaving aside the deeply imprinted image of him toying with General Liao Changfei, the story Summer Bright recounted, compared to his Dream Pearl, was probably only slightly less impressive.

"Alright, it's time for you to talk, kid." Summer Bright patted Xia Feng's shoulder with immense fondness and smiled, "A Half-Emperor at twenty-three. This talent, looking back hundreds of thousands of years, is undoubtedly the first."

"When I was your age, I was only an Earth Rank Martial Saint. I also saw that your Emperor Body was condensed by yourself, not an Heavenly Emperor Body Physique. How exactly did you Cultivate, kid?"

"And your parents. When I left, they weren't even Martial Kings, yet in these past twenty-odd years, they've also become Heaven Rank Ninefold Martial Saint. Could it be that you also found a unique cultivation space like the void world?"

Xia Feng scratched his head, then chuckled.

Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian also found it amusing upon hearing this, covering their mouths to suppress their laughter.

Seeing the three of them so in sync, Summer Bright's eyes immediately lit up: "Good kid, could it really be?"

"Not exactly, but it's close." Xia Feng smiled and shook his head, "You'll know what's going on once Grandpa experiences it himself."

"What's going on? You're hiding things from your own Grandpa." Summer Bright immediately bristled and glared.

"Alright, Father, Little Feng's cultivation method is too peculiar. You probably wouldn't believe it if we told you. It's better for you to experience it yourself."

Xia Naiwen also smiled and shook his head.

Night fell.

Xia Feng led the bewildered Summer Bright to sit down in the room. Summer Bright's expression was very strange. His grandson clearly said he was taking him to Cultivate tonight, but once they arrived, the kid sat down for less than a minute, tilted his head, and actually fell asleep!

This made Summer Skyfate feel somewhat absurd and even toyed with, but Xia Feng was his own grandson, and Xia Naiwen was also beside him, looking at him with a confident expression. Only then did he continue waiting.

Soon, Summer Bright suddenly felt an inexplicable wave of fatigue arise within his body. He was immediately startled and wanted to dispel this power.

"Don't resist, Father. This is Little Feng's method. Just relax your mind."

Seeing this, Xia Naiwen quickly spoke up.

Summer Bright hesitated for a moment, then nodded, completely relaxed his body, and allowed the fatigue to carry him into sleep.

Before his family, Summer Bright's trust was unconditional.

Soon, Summer Bright, opening his eyes again, stared in shock at the empty and unfamiliar surroundings before him.

Xia Feng stood beside him, smiling and explaining to Summer Bright.

...

A dream of ten thousand years.

After experiencing the life-and-death battle with General Liao Changfei, Xia Feng's understanding of the Great Dao power exclusive to Martial Emperors deepened.

In his previous cultivation, he had always kept his nerves taut, not daring to waste a single moment, desperately trying to condense the Emperor Body.

But after General Liao Changfei died, a sense of ease he had never felt before appeared in his heart.

The alternation of tension and relaxation, the change in his state of mind, coupled with a deep understanding of the Martial Emperor Realm, Xia Feng finally slowly began to condense his own Great Dao power.

However, this Great Dao power was not yet complete. Ten thousand years, for his top-grade talent, was still a bit too challenging to achieve Martial Emperor.

But being able to reach this point, only a step away from breaking through to Martial Emperor, was also something to be joyful about.

Chapter 103: Grandpa's Monstrous Talent

After waking up, Xia Feng felt that he was only one step away from entering the Martial Emperor Realm, and he still felt some regret.

Before Martial Emperor, his top-grade talent was still useful, but after reaching Martial Emperor, his top-grade Aptitude was truly a bit insufficient.

But beside him, the old man in green robes slowly opened his eyes.

His pupils were like ancient wells without ripples, and the Aura on his body was restrained to the extreme. He looked completely like an ordinary old man.

But after he fully opened his eyes, the heaven and earth above Xingyu City suddenly produced an extremely terrifying pressure.

Xia Feng felt this majesty and immediately widened his eyes.

"Son, what Realm has your Grandpa broken through to? Why would heaven and earth produce a tangible pressure?"

Xia Naiwen, who had also just woken up, walked to the window and looked at the nearly frozen space outside, his mouth wide open.

"This feeling is... Earth Rank First Level Martial Emperor?"

Before Xia Feng could speak, Summer Bright couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Earth Rank First Level Martial Emperor? Father, in ten thousand years, you actually jumped two Realms? Could it be that your Emperor Body is still there?"

This gave Xia Naiwen a big start. Martial Emperor Realm Breakthroughs were often calculated in tens of thousands of years. In the Great Xia Empire, many Huang Realm Martial Emperors spent thirty to forty thousand years just to barely reach the Huang Realm Ninth Level.

But Summer Bright actually jumped directly from the Huang Realm Martial Emperor Realm to the Earth Rank First Level in just ten thousand years!

That was a full eighteen minor Realms!

"No, the Emperor Body is long gone. This dream world is too terrifying; it can even simulate the Domain of the Void Cauldron!"

Summer Bright took several deep breaths. He couldn't be mistaken about the feeling of being an Earth Rank Martial Emperor.

No matter what, he was someone who had walked the Emperor's Path again!

"A dream of ten thousand years, and it can actually feedback the cultivation Realm to reality... Xia Feng, come here, I have something to tell you."

After the shock, Summer Bright quickly regained his composure. He furrowed his brows and beckoned to Xia Feng.

Xia Feng quickly walked over.

"Grandpa."

"Besides me and your Old Dad and mother, is there anyone else who knows about your dream cultivation?"

Summer Bright's expression was quite serious, even a little frightening.

Even a Martial Warrior who was once at the Martial Emperor Ninth Level was so wary of the Dream Pearl. Even if Xia Feng was any dumber, he would understand Summer Bright's meaning by now.

"This..."

He stroked his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Are there others!?"

Xia Feng's reaction instantly gave Summer Bright a big scare. He quickly held onto Xia Feng's shoulders and said urgently.

"Who are they? Do they pose a threat to you? Is there any possibility of a leak?"

"What are their Realms? Are they within Xingyu City!"
