Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 455 - 451: Xia Feng Awakens, Sword Heart Distribution
Li Qingxue’s expression became anxious: "Husband?"
Xia Feng’s body was limp. Even though he had fainted, blood was still continuously seeping from his mouth.
Li Qingxue’s face became even more flustered. She took out several elixirs from her storage ring, unsure whether to feed them to Xia Feng.
She was so concerned that she was in disarray, her heart full of the already unconscious Xia Feng.
Next to her, Xia Tianming came forward to check and discovered that Xia Feng had only fainted due to overexertion.
However, that sword technique was somewhat too powerful; with Xia Feng’s current cultivation, he shouldn’t have been able to execute such a formidable sword technique.
It was only because he connected with the stars in the void, borrowing the star power along with an indescribably subtle epiphany of his own, that he condensed this move.
Therefore, it’s estimated that it will take a period for him to recover.
Xia Tianming glanced at the sword slaves still searching for scattered sword hearts nearby and then said to Li Qingxue, "Find a quiet place to wait for him to recover."
"Feng’Er has cultivated the Great Dao of Life and the Celestial Pill Great Dao. Both Daos have the ability to heal himself, so let’s not blindly give him any elixirs that might affect his condition."
Li Qingxue, originally flustered by concern, wiped the tears of anxiety from her face and, somewhat embarrassed, spoke up.
"Sorry, I lost my composure."
Xia Tianming shook his head: "I know you’re worried about Feng’Er too. Let’s first find a quiet place."
The two of them surveyed their surroundings and found that the Sword God Hall seemed to have quieted down again.
However, Li Qingxue was still worried that Li Qingyu might still be hiding nearby. If something like a frenzy stone appeared again,
it wouldn’t be much of a concern for them, but if the recuperating Xia Feng were disturbed, she would feel as if she could tear Li Qingyu apart with her bare hands.
In the end, they chose a quiet cave. After Xia Tianming went in, he found some trembling wild beasts inside.
The divine pressure released by the Sword Beast Leader earlier frightened the surrounding wild beasts, making them uninterested in fighting.
Xia Tianming easily dealt with the few beasts, set things up a little, and then let Li Qingxue bring Xia Feng in.
Li Qingxue looked around the surroundings and found a quiet place to sit cross-legged.
After collecting the scattered sword hearts, the sword slave handed the storage ring containing the sword hearts to Li Qingxue.
Li Qingxue opened it and found nearly a thousand sword hearts inside.
With a tinge of resignation, she handed a few lower-level ones to Xia Tianming.
"Grandfather said before that he wanted to try cultivating the Great Dao of Celestial Sword?"
"First, enlighten yourself with them, and then try using the lower-level sword hearts. They contain the foundational Dao, and with your talent, grandfather, you are sure to comprehend them."
Xia Tianming did not refuse. Truly, the three had slain so many sword beasts this time; it was no waste to use a few low-level sword hearts.
Had it not been because Li Qingxue knew Xia Tianming was just beginning to cultivate the Great Dao of Celestial Sword and couldn’t possibly comprehend a First Grade Celestial God Realm sword heart, she would have handed him some Celestial God Realm sword hearts.
Xia Feng had fainted for about two hours before gradually regaining a bit of consciousness.
As soon as he regained consciousness, he turned his head with an uncontrollable nausea, his whole head feeling as if someone was frantically stirring inside his skull, making it impossible to resist the urge to vomit.
However, after dry heaving a couple of times, he didn’t vomit anything, though his temples throbbed painfully.
Xia Feng took two elixir bottles from his storage ring, poured several pills into his mouth, and swallowed them roughly.
Feeling his sea of consciousness begin to gradually calm, along with his overly exhausted divine power within his body slowly starting to gather again, his complexion improved a bit.
Next to him, Li Qingxue was full of concern: "Husband, are you feeling better?"
"Is there anything I can help with?"
"I’ve also accumulated quite a few elixirs. If you need any, I can see if I have them here."
Xia Feng smiled, rubbing her head: "It’s alright. I just overworked a bit earlier."
"I’ve already somewhat recovered now; it’s nothing too serious. I’ve taken some elixirs, and I’ll enter the Dream Realm Pearl to slowly recuperate later."
Seeing that he didn’t seem to be forcing himself, Li Qingxue’s heart eased, but it was filled with lingering fear.
Tears dotted her face as she reached out to hug Xia Feng: "Husband, you scared me earlier. You just collapsed like that, and it felt like the sky was falling."
Xia Feng, heart aching, embraced her: "Alright, I’m fine now."
"The situation then was quite urgent. If I couldn’t think of a solution, we’d be surrounded by those sword beasts."
"Don’t cry anymore. I won’t do anything that risky in the future."
Upon hearing Xia Feng’s promise, Li Qingxue knew he might still take risks next time, but she relaxed a little bit.
Leaning softly into Xia Feng’s arms, she then turned to see Xia Tianming had relocated to avoid any awkwardness.
Li Qingxue cleared her throat and quickly pulled away from Xia Feng’s arms, a blush spreading across her face, looking particularly embarrassed.
Xia Feng, beside her, didn’t seem to mind but instead looked at the situation outside.
"The core assessment of the Holy Sword Secret Realm might have to wait until the later stages of the Secret Realm opening."
"Let’s absorb some sword hearts first."
With that said, Xia Feng was the first to enter the Dream Realm Pearl.
Then he pulled Xia Tianming and the others in with him.
The sword slave stood guard outside against any sudden appearance of wild beasts. Should anything arise, it would immediately alert Li Qingxue, who would then notify Xia Feng.
Actually, the sword slave was also of Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God Level, capable of handling the surrounding beasts; however, Xia Feng was still concerned and instructed it to inform Li Qingxue if anything happened.
Inside the Dream Realm Pearl, Xia Feng took out the sword hearts and sorted them roughly with Li Qingxue.
At his current level, only sword hearts above the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God Realm were of any use to him.
Li Qingxue could still absorb some sword hearts of Celestial Tier Seventh or Eighth Layer Celestial God. Those of even lower levels, Xia Feng left for Xia Tianming.
The three of them cultivated in the Dream Realm Pearl for ten thousand years, equivalent to a full day outside.
Xia Feng absorbed them rapidly, comprehending everything in less than a thousand years. The remaining time was mostly spent comprehending those two Great Dao of Space-Time skills he had learned earlier.
Perhaps it was due to the rich presence of the Great Dao of Time in the Dream Realm Pearl, but Xia Feng found practicing these two skills much smoother this time, unlike before when it seemed somewhat laborious.
