Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled
Chapter 591 - 587: Celestial Pill Pride Challenges Xia Feng
The prides of the Celestial Sword Divine Domain and the Celestial Sound Divine Domain were obviously familiar with Xia Feng. Even though they were extremely jealous of him, they dared not act rashly at this moment.
However, the people from the Celestial Pill Divine Domain, who particularly admired Sun Yazhu’s alchemy talent, didn’t want her talents to be delayed by a man, so they prepared to teach Xia Feng a lesson.
This was, after all, their Divine Domain. Having lived here for many years, they were quite familiar with the surrounding spatial barriers, thinking to use a bit of territorial advantage to strike at Xia Feng.
Even though Xia Feng had prepared himself for a challenge from many prodigies, he didn’t expect his first challenger to be a woman.
He glanced at Sun Yazhu beside him in surprise, even shock, and asked in a low voice: "I didn’t expect you to be popular with both men and women."
Sun Yazhu’s originally gentle face turned red, and she pinched Xia Feng’s waist angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t even know her."
The woman who spoke turned pale upon seeing the two flirting and said, "Stop maligning Yazhu Goddess; she indeed doesn’t know me."
"My name is Zhou Meimei, from the Zhou Family of the Celestial Pill Divine Domain."
After she said this, she paused, seemingly wanting to see Xia Feng afraid and begging for mercy, but Xia Feng merely responded with a nonchalant "Oh."
"So, why is a woman like you challenging me?"
He looked intrigued: "I originally thought my challengers would be my wife’s suitors."
Zhou Meimei turned white with rage: "What do you, an outsider, know! No one is worthy of Yazhu Goddess. With such high alchemy talent, she should focus entirely on alchemy, beyond your reach."
Xia Feng clicked his tongue: "Aren’t you imposing your ideas on others?"
"You didn’t even ask her if she wants to focus solely on the Alchemy Dao, yet you assume she must dedicate her life to the Celestial Pill Divine Domain."
"Hmph, I thought the Celestial Pill Divine Domain was the most open-minded, but I never imagined that you are the most rigid, stubborn, and traditional."
After these words, the faces of all the Celestial Pill prodigies changed, even Sun Yazhu couldn’t help but press her lips together.
Zhou Meimei trembled with anger, her voice sharp: "You’re wrong! Everyone should dedicate their life to the Celestial Pill Divine Domain, not just the Goddess alone."
"She grew up in the Lower Realm, surely brainwashed by you people lacking dedication."
"Once the Goddess spends more time in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain, she will surely understand her role."
Xia Feng’s expression darkened: "If true dedication is what you mean, I have nothing to say. I fear you want to raise her up and deceive her."
"Claiming to be from the Zhou Family suggests the Zhou Family is significant in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain."
"If wholeheartedly dedicated to the Celestial Pill Divine Domain, why do family and sect distinctions still exist? Shouldn’t everyone be united?"
Zhou Meimei’s lips trembled, unable to find a suitable rebuttal, growing inexplicably furious.
Seeing herself unable to win verbally against Xia Feng, she remembered she came to challenge him; a transparent spiritual force emerged from her mind towards Xia Feng.
It was mentioned before that cultivators from the Celestial Pill Divine Domain are not adept at battle, yet have their attack methods within the Celestial Pill Divine Domain.
In thickening spatial barriers, their spiritual power is heavier than others, exerting more worldly might.
Coupled with the unfamiliarity others have with this heavy barrier of the Celestial Pill Divine Domain, these duels often end with the cultivators of the Celestial Pill Divine Domain shattering the opponent’s mind.
Zhou Meimei charged confidently; although her Cultivation was only at the First Grade True God Realm, her spiritual power was stronger than a Sixth Grade True God’s. Unfortunately, she met the anomaly, Xia Feng.
Xia Feng too was annoyed, having been irked by these people’s chatter; with someone charging directly, he had no intention of holding back.
So, he quickly unleashed the power of the True God Realm, colliding with Zhou Meimei’s spiritual force.
Though bystanders could discern the duel somewhat, they couldn’t see the detailed contest between the two.
Initially, people thought Zhou Meimei would gain the upper hand, that even if Xia Feng persisted, he’d ultimately succumb, and they’d be rid of him.
Then, the Divine Maidens would surely see his lack of knowledge and might even directly abandon him.
Sadly for them, reality was entirely different from their assumptions.
As Xia Feng came into contact with her spiritual attack, he raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.
As the onlookers thought he’d be red-faced and increasing his spiritual force output, Xia Feng casually glanced at Zhou Meimei; then, his overwhelming spiritual power crushed hers.
It even charged into Zhou Meimei’s mind, causing chaos and turbulence.
When Xia Feng retracted his attack, Zhou Meimei stood dumbfounded, like a soulless puppet.
Sun Yazhu, looking a bit worried, asked Xia Feng softly: "Did her mind get destroyed?"
Xia Feng, knowing her soft-heartedness, gently rubbed her hair: "Don’t worry, just a small lesson, it’s not lethal; her foundation is strong, a few days in this stupor will do."
The surrounding Celestial Pill prodigies sighed in relief, and their demeanor towards Xia Feng softened considerably.
Xia Feng, with a half-smirk, scanned those around: "Who’s the next challenger?"
"If queuing seems cumbersome, you’re welcome to come all at once."
The Celestial Pill prodigies lowered their heads, avoiding Xia Feng’s gaze, clearly self-aware.
Zhou Meimei’s Cultivation wasn’t weak among them yet lost so decisively against Xia Feng. Naturally, those of similar Cultivation had no desire to target him.
As for Celestial Pill prodigies with higher Cultivation than Zhou Meimei, they were at least tens of thousands of years his senior and wouldn’t stoop to challenging a youngster.
But the prides from other Divine Domains thought differently; to them, the Celestial Pill Divine Domain wasn’t adept at battle, so losing to Xia Feng was understandable.
However, they were determined to regain face.
