After he returned to Xia Residence, Xia Tian immediately entered his dual cultivation space again, and he spent 15 days in his space with Zhu Honglian, which meant three days in the outside world.
Since Zhu Honglian didn't have a special bloodline like Xia Xing, and even though she had also swallowed the energy surge pill, it still took quite some time for Xia Tian to help her break through to the 1st Stage Soul Condensation Realm.

Just like before, after he brought Zhu Honglian out of his space, Xia Tian accompanied his women in turn for the whole day.
But some of them began to get busy with their businesses: Liu Ying began selling pills and the like. Xiang Yin and Yu Suya began selling his wine. As for Liu Meng and Chen Xue, they were still improving their sewing skills.
Zhu Yuhe then asked Xia Tian to move the teleportation formation in the capital palace to the Xia Residence, so the Bai Sisters could go back and forth more easily.
However, several women asked Xia Tian to send them into his Ancient Sacred Realm, especially since they couldn't dual cultivate with him. They were Yin, Xin, Murong Yuexin, and Shen Huang, and they wanted to cultivate normally within his space.
But unexpectedly, Fu Jie wanted to come with them; she decided after hearing Yue's explanation about the Ancient Sacred Realm, and Xia Tian didn't mind her wish. After all, she is Liu Ying's beast contract.
Although Fan Quexian and Shui Liuli weren't ready to become Xia Tian's women yet, they chose to remain in the outside world to spend their time with him and the others.
At night, Xia Tian then brought Yu Suyin, who had made up her mind to re-cultivate, into the dual cultivation space, and they stayed there for a long time.
Apart from dual cultivating with Xia Tian, Yu Suyin was also cultivating normally, and she had also trained with him.
Unknowingly, three days had passed in the outside world, and Yu Suyin's cultivation had already reached the 3rd Stage Soul Condensation Realm.

After he finished with Yu Suyin, Xia Tian did not immediately bring his other women to re-cultivate, and he chose to accompany his women for two whole days.
And during those two days, he continued to teach and guide each of his women in their respective fields. Liu Ying was in alchemy, Chen Xue was in painting, Xia Ning was in poetry, and so on.
Apart from his official women, Xia Tian also accompanies Fan Quexian and Shui Liuli to deepen their relationship.

The next day, Xia Tian brought Murong Mengxin to re-cultivate, and due to her bloodline, she only needed ten days for her cultivation to return to its original level.
Since the day of the inter-sect competition was approaching and there was only a week left, Xia Tian decided to return to the sect first.
Before that, Xia Tian entered the fortress to meet his grandfather and inspect the construction of the houses inside, and he was quite satisfied to find that quite a number of houses had been built.
"What do you think, Little Tian?"
"I'm satisfied with the speed of their construction, and I think they'll have everything finished soon."
Xia Ling nodded to him. "I think everything will be finished in two weeks."
"Yes." Xia Tian then said. "Anyway, I'm going back to the sect today, so you better leave this place first, Grandpa."
"All right." Xia Ling agreed with his grandson. "Just let these soldiers stay in here to work things out, and you can send them back when their job is done."
"I thought so." They immediately left the fortress after that.
Suddenly, Xia Tian remembered about the Yan Sisters' request, so he decided to sneak into the Alchemy Guild. Unfortunately, he couldn't find Yan Jin there, because he was out looking for herbs in preparation for the alchemy competition, so he returned to his house and informed them.
The Yan Sisters were disappointed to hear that, but they couldn't do anything for now and could only wait for Xia Tian, so they decided to return to their sect first for the time being.
After that, Xia Tian said goodbye to his grandmother, mother, and the others. He then sent some of his women back to their respective sects.
Yin, Xin, and Yu Suyin to the Twin Star Sword Sect.
Murong Mengxin to the Medical Valley Sect.
Xia Xing and Zhu Honglian to the Jade Pearl Sect.
However, Fan Quexian decided not to return to her sect, and she chose to cultivate in the ancient sacred realm together with Murong Yuexin, Bing Huang, Shen Huang, and the beast women.
On the other hand, Xia Tian sent Estella into the dual cultivation space, and he allowed her to absorb Xiao Yuxi's energy.
Then Xia Tian, Mo Xiaoqi, Su Fei, and Shui Liuli returned to the Star Moon Sect.
"What's your next plan, Brother Tian?" Shui Liuli asked as they walked into the sect.
Although Shui Liuli was still not willing to be his woman, their relationship had improved a lot. Not only with her, but Xia Tian's relationship with Fan Quexian had also developed in a more positive direction, especially after they had spent so much time together.
Su Fei and Mo Xiaoqi also looked at him, because Xia Tian had not told them anything.
Xia Tian then spoke to the three women. "For the time being, I will prepare myself to participate in the inter-sect competition. However, I will also train the three of you in the gravity field, so that way you guys will become stronger."
"I also can't wait to train above level 3, husband." Mo Xiaoqi said with a smile, and Su Fei also agreed with him.
The two of them had already decided not to re-cultivate just yet, that was because Xia Tian's cultivation was still in the Earth Origin Realm like theirs.
"Yes, I think you and Fei'er should be able to train at level 4 or 5 by now." Xia Tian then turned to Shui Liuli. "As for you, I want you to familiarize yourself with Level 3 first."
"I understand, brother." Shui Liuli replied with a nod of approval.
After that, Shui Liuli went to the medical hall, and Su Fei went to the dual cultivation chamber.
On the other hand, Mo Xiaoqi didn't return to her room but instead went to the gravity field directly.
Seeing Mo Xiaoqi like that, Xia Tian could only shake his head; he himself knew that he wanted to become strong as soon as possible, especially after regaining his past memories.
[Hey, master! Even though Xiaoqi didn't say anything to you, she felt very pressured by her parents' situation; that's why she was so eager to become strong.]
"Well, I know that." Xia Tian then sighed heavily. "Unfortunately, I can't do anything to save Tianhu and Jinshi for now, but I will definitely help Little Qi to save them in the future."
[Anyway, when are you going to meet the Oracle, master?]
"Hmm? Since the inter-sect competition will take place in a week, so I plan to go see him once it's over."
[Tch, if it wasn't for the competition's prize being a Crimson Fire Soul, then the competition would be of no use to you.]
"True! The Crimson Fire Soul is of great use to Ying'er, so I must obtain it." Xia Tian then used his void breaking steps to go see Yu Yunzhi.
However, when he arrived inside her room, Xia Tian saw Yu Yunzhi quarrelling with Liu Tao, and he decided to eavesdrop on them from within the void.
"Tell me the truth, Yunzhi! Do you already have another dual cultivation partner? Is your new partner a member of this sect?" Liu Tao asked with a dark face.
It had been more than two months since they last dual cultivated, but Yu Yunzhi had continued to reject him even now, and that made him think that she already had another partner.
However, Liu Tao never saw her leave the sect, so he suspected that Yu Yunzhi had dual cultivated with one of their sect elders, but he would never have guessed that her new partner would be Xia Tian.
Yu Yunzhi glared fiercely at Liu Tao. "I do have a new dual cultivation partner, and he is much more skilled and satisfying than you, but I will never tell you the identity of my new partner."
"You-!"
"Since you already got the answer to your question, then you can leave my room right now." Yu Yunzhi said, motioning towards the door.
Liu Tao gritted his teeth, and his aura leaked from his body, but he immediately calmed himself down and left Yu Yunzhi's room.
After all, Yu Yunzi's cultivation was four minor levels above his, and he would be the one to lose if he fought with her.
Yu Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief after Liu Tao left the room, and she leaned back in her chair as she muttered to herself. "That damn Xia Tian! He never thought about my feelings! He's been away for two weeks, but he still hasn't returned to the sect until now."
Hearing that, Xia Tian immediately came out behind Yu Yunzhi and whispered in her ear. "Did you miss me that much, Little Yunzhi?"
