"Brother Ye, you don't know?"
Raising his thick brows, Ling Xiao explained, "The Forbidden Heavenly Thunder Grounds is a great treasure ground of our Heavenly Thunder Hall. The heavenly thunder there can temper the body and soul, each strike of heavenly thunder equivalent to quite a few Inner Demon Pills. The more one withstands, the greater the degree of tempering. You also know that as long as one's soul is strong, one's future cultivation will also be faster. It is precisely for the Forbidden Heavenly Thunder Grounds that we siblings have returned to the Heavenly Thunder Hall, preparing to break through to the third level of the Netherpassage stage. "
"Withstanding the strikes of heavenly thunder, then tempering the body and soul?" Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed, suddenly becoming interested.
His method of breaking through was different from others, but it was still effective in tempering the body and soul.
The strength of his soul far surpassed that of the average ninth level of the Manifestation stage, probably being comparable to first level Netherpassage experts.
If it was tempered in the Forbidden Heavenly Thunder Grounds, it might even be able to rise to the second level of the Manifestation stage.
"Not bad. Good, I'll join!"
Ye Xuan immediately nodded.
He had also joined the City Lord Manor of Thunder Light City earlier. It was not like he needed money anyway. If he grew up in the future, he could just leave straight away.
Hearing Ye Xuan's reply, Ling Xiao and Ling Yun exchanged glances, smiling.
This time, not only had they averted danger, they had even managed to recruit a young genius. They had really profited.
While the two siblings were about the same age as Ye Xuan, also two levels higher than Ye Xuan, when they had been at the ninth level of the Manifestation stage, they had not even been able to beat a first level Netherpassage expert, let alone an elite second level Netherpassage expert.
If Ye Xuan broke through to their level, he would definitely be many times stronger than them.
"Welcome. We are a family from now onwards!" Ling Xiao grinned, saying, "Let's go back to the Heavenly Thunder Hall. The trial of the Forbidden Heavenly Thunder Grounds is about to begin."
"Okay!"
Ye Xuan nodded before following them.
He was thinking that after becoming a core disciple, he would be able to learn the Heavenly Thunder Halberd. At that time, he would be able to use it legitimately.
However, the journey back to the Heavenly Thunder Hall this time was not peaceful.
… …
"Ye Xuan, the poison within our bodies has yet to be completely purged. Therefore, we wish to find a place to first dispel the poison before returning to the Heavenly Thunder Hall."
On the way, Ling Xiao told Ye Xuan.
"Alright, I'll protect you!"
Ye Xuan nodded.
The three of them immediately found a mountain and set up an aura-isolating array formation to conceal themselves. Then, the two siblings began to detoxify the poison.
As for Ye Xuan, he could take advantage of this opportunity to break through.
"Ding! Host has consumed 500 Inner Demon Pills!"
"Ding! The host has broken through to the first level of the Netherpassage Realm!"
Two system notifications rang out as Ye Xuan's aura skyrocketed.
Breaking through from the Manifestation Realm to the Netherpassage Realm didn't increase his physical body by much, but the strength of his soul had doubled.
Ye Xuan estimated that his current combat strength was three times that of before.
Even if Ling Xiao and Ling Yun joined forces, they would not be his match.
Now that Mo Xueyi was in hiding, he could make use of the Heavenly Thunder Hall's influence to place a bounty on Mo Xueyi. This was another reason why he had gone to the Heavenly Thunder Hall.
Half a day later.
Ling Xiao and Ling Yun exited seclusion, the poison in their bodies also cleansed. This was all thanks to Ye Xuan.
If not for the two stalks of Clear Tea Grass that Ye Xuan had given them, they would not have been able to detoxify the poison, and might even have been captured by those black-clothed pursuers.
"Eh?"
When Ling Xiao exited the cave, he felt that something was wrong as he could not help but let out a puzzled sound.
"Netherpassage Realm?"
Ling Yun also felt it as she cried out in shock.
In just half a day, Ye Xuan had actually broken through from the Manifestation Realm to the Netherpassage Realm. He was indeed a genius.
"I reached the peak of the Manifestation Realm half a day ago," Ye Xuan explained.
"So that's how it is. It looks like Ye Xuan getting a slot is a sure thing," Ling Xiao smiled.
He and Ling Yun were members of the Heavenly Thunder Hall's Ling Family. Thus, they did not need to compete for a slot as they could directly enter the Heavenly Thunder Forbidden Land to be tempered by the heavenly thunder.
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan was an outsider. Thus, he had to be tested together with the other outsiders.
Now that the Ling siblings had successfully detoxified the poison and Ye Xuan had broken through as well, they could continue on their way.
With their speed, they should be able to reach the Heavenly Thunder Hall in around two days.
However, just as they were about to move.
"Wait."
Ye Xuan suddenly sensed something as he hurriedly called out to the two of them.
"What is it?"
Ling Yun blinked rather strangely.
"There are two experts at the second level of the Netherpassage Realm approaching." Ye Xuan replied.
"What?"
The Ling siblings were very shocked.
They were both at the second level of the Netherpassage Realm while Ye Xuan had only just broken through. If they had not discovered it, how had Ye Xuan discovered it?
However, what they did not know was that the range of Ye Xuan's Eye of Perception was three times greater than that of his spiritual sense.
Very quickly, the Ling siblings sensed it as well.
"Clap clap clap!"
Hurried footsteps resounded in front of them as two figures entered the vision of Ye Xuan's trio.
The newcomers were both men dressed in black.
"Assassins from the Underworld again!" Ling Xiao frowned as he muttered to himself.
However, his expression was extremely relaxed. Previously, he had been chased and beaten up because he had been poisoned. Now that the poison had been cured and his wounds had healed, how could he be afraid of them?
Assassins were skilled in concealment and tracking. They had chased after Ye Xuan's trio based on their footsteps.
However, Ling Xiao still could not understand why someone would pay for his life.
"It's you assassins again. Who exactly is it that is going against my Heavenly Thunder Hall?" Ling Xiao could not help but ask.
"We're not very sure about that either. Since you've encountered me, please allow yourself to be captured. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless."
Said the long-haired man of the two assassins.
"Your mission is to capture us, not kill us?" Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes as he asked again.
"So what if it is?"
The thin man snorted coldly.
"When did the Underworld have a mission to capture people? How strange."
Ling Yun could not help but mutter to herself.
The Underworld had always issued missions to kill people. Now, however, there was actually a mission to capture people. This was really rare.
Could it be that the employer wanted to personally take action?
"You don't have to worry about this. Anyway, your mission rewards are so high that we are tempted," said the long-haired man coldly as he gripped the longsword in his hand tightly.
There were actually two types of assassins.
One was to wait for an opportunity to assassinate, while the other was to directly take action. These two were obviously the second type.
These two did not think much of the first level of the Netherpassage stage Ye Xuan. After all, they could easily kill an existence like Ye Xuan.
They focused their attention on Ling Xiao and Ling Yun. These siblings could be considered first-rate geniuses in the Heavenly Thunder Hall. They could not afford to be careless in the slightest.
