Attempting to absorb beyond my level could collapse my Sword Dao, outweighing any gains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng pondered this, acknowledging the validity of Li Qingxue’s concerns, and stored the two freshly-acquired First Grade Celestial God sword hearts in his storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see if any more sword beasts appear. If not, I’ll escort the others out first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingxue felt a bit helpless: \"I didn’t expect the Holy Sword Secret Realm to gradually suppress other Great Daos as time passes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought the other sisters might gain some opportunities in here too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yazhu shrugged: \"It’s alright. Even if we don’t gain anything, being able to meet like this is already very joyful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You explore the secret realm thoroughly, and share anything good you find with us later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Xia Feng was a bit worried that Li Qingxue’s fast cultivation progress might cause unease among the other women as they explored the secret realm together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they seemed to notice Xia Feng’s concern and amusingly gathered around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Husband, the timing of the Holy Sword Secret Realm’s opening is just fitting. If it was our secret realm opening, the other sisters surely wouldn’t overthink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our greatest wish is to assist you, husband. We’re happy that Qingxue can help you now, no reason to be jealous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Siya rolled her eyes playfully: \"Husband always treats us like kids to coax. Our relationships are really good with each other~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng smiled: \"Well then, dear sisters, I’m preparing to send you back to your respective divine domains. Who’ll go first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody spoke, as everyone wanted to stay with Xia Feng a little longer, but seeing no one else move, Sun Yazhu, being the chief wife, stepped up first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go first, to not waste your time. This place is rich in Divine Power, and it’s perfect with the sword beasts and sword hearts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once we’re gone, you’ll likely be very busy again, husband.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood on tiptoe to kiss Xia Feng’s cheek: \"Alright, send me back. I need to focus on cultivating the Celestial Pill Great Dao. Sooner or later, it will help you, husband.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng bowed his head to kiss her, then with a smile, said: \"Don’t worry, you’ve already helped me a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Dream Realm Pearl is always here. I’ll drop in to visit whenever possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke while escorting Sun Yazhu through the dream realm, eventually sending her back to the Divine Maiden Hall in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Sun Yazhu setting the example, the other women were sent back by Xia Feng one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Xia Feng looked at the surrounding environment and said to Li Qingxue and Xia Tianming: \"Find a safe spot, I’ll first attempt to absorb a sword heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingxue nodded, as she too wanted to attempt absorbing a sword heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng hesitated before speaking: \"Grandfather, would you like to try absorbing a sword heart?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A lower level one, perhaps it contains the most basic fragments of the Great Dao of Celestial Sword, maybe you could also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, two strands of Sword Qi shot straight towards Xia Feng and Li Qingxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng drew his Heaven-Burying Sword and swung it, while Li Qingxue blocked with her Divine Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragment of the Great Dao of Celestial Sword Xia Feng faced had already been comprehended by him, so upon splitting it, a white light simply merged into his Heaven-Burying Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Qingxue’s one, something she hadn’t previously comprehended, caused her to stand still like a post, beginning to comprehend the Great Dao once it dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianming chuckled: \"You see, even the Holy Sword Divine Domain perceives me as unsuited to practicing swordsmanship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sword Qi only sought you two, with no intention towards me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng looked at the dissipated Sword Qi, speaking helplessly: \"Had I known, I’d have let Qingxue handle it, perhaps she’d feel more of the Great Dao fragments. Me scattering it like this is such a waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianming shrugged: \"Before cutting it open, no one knew if the Great Dao inside was within your grasp or not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re willing to concede the Sword Qi...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1093,"2026-06-05T22:57:42.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","f22108d32acfc77057dae9b5ad86a870e38dbbc5485fa542059838e0fd902e65","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-449","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-447",634,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-cover.jpg"]
