"Oh, Xiao 'er, Yun' er, you've returned. The Black Chaotic Corner is quite a distance away from here. I had thought that you wouldn't be able to make it to the Heavenly Thunder Forbidden Grounds this time."
Ling Xiong was currently handling some documents as he said curiously upon seeing Ling Xiao and Ling Yun.
"Greetings, Father!"
Ling Xiao and Ling Yun greeted in unison.
"This is?"
At this time, Ling Xiong's gaze fell on Ye Xuan behind Ling Xiao.
"Father, on our way back from the Black Chaotic Corner, we were ambushed by assassins of the Underworld. Fortunately, Ye Xuan came to our aid, otherwise we siblings might very well have been captured."
Ling Xiao began to narrate the events of the past.
"The assassins of the Underworld only capture people, and not kill them?" Ling Xiao's body shook as he abruptly stood up.
"I find it very strange as well. We siblings have not offended anyone; why would they target us?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.
"Alright, I will send people to investigate this matter."
Ling Xiong nodded, before continuing, "With little brother Ye Xuan's talent, he is indeed qualified to enter my Heavenly Thunder Hall as a core disciple. However, there are quite a few powerful disciples in this time's slot competition, and there are only ten slots. Wanting to obtain one won't be so easy. "
Ling Xiao understood Ling Xiong's meaning. The latter had underestimated Ye Xuan a little. He hurriedly explained, "Father, Ye Xuan's strength is probably not below mine."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Ling Xiong was rather surprised, not daring to believe it.
Ye Xuan was only at the first level of the Netherpassage stage, while there were three thousand core disciples in the Heavenly Thunder Hall. This meant that they were all at the first level of the Netherpassage stage. However, the number of core disciples who could challenge those at a higher level was probably less than a hundred.
"If that is the case, we can fight for it. Little brother Ye, come with me."
Saying this, Ling Xiong brought Ye Xuan along as well. As the latter had saved Ling Xiao, he easily entered the Heavenly Thunder Hall, becoming a core disciple.
Very quickly, Ye Xuan successfully entered the Heavenly Thunder Hall, becoming a core disciple.
After that, Ling Xiong brought Ye Xuan to the registration point for the Heavenly Thunder Forbidden Land's entry battle that would be held three days later.
Ye Xuan glanced at the name list. This time, the Ling Clan's disciples didn't need to compete for the Heavenly Thunder Forbidden Land's spots and could directly enter.
However, those subordinate powers of the Heavenly Thunder Hall as well as the other disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Hall would have to undergo a trial before being able to obtain a slot.
There were only ten spots for this year's competition, and the people who participated in the competition for the spots added up to more than a hundred people.
These hundreds of people were all around twenty-five years old and were at least in the Netherpassage Realm. It was even said that some of them had already reached the third level of the Netherpassage Realm.
"With my current strength, it shouldn't be a problem for me to get a slot …"
Ye Xuan thought to himself.
He was not worried about his own slot, instead wondering if he should let Luoluo join the Heavenly Thunder Hall as well.
Within three days, Luo Luo would also be able to break through into the Ethereal Opening stage. It had to be known that she was a fifteen-year-old Ethereal Opening stage martial artist, being even more formidable than that legendary figure in the history of the Heavenly Thunder Hall.
In the history of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, the person who had broken through into the Ethereal Opening stage at the age of eighteen had been the number one genius.
"Forget it. Luoluo is cultivating in the planting space, so there's no need for her to join. When I enter the Heavenly Thunder Forbidden Land, I'll summon her out as well …"
Ye Xuan planned in his heart.
Luoluo's talent was really too heaven-defying. Having reached the Ethereal Opening stage at the age of fifteen, she could even attempt to break through into the Fulfillment Realm in the future.
The reason why Ye Xuan had dismissed this idea was because that number one genius in the history of the Heavenly Thunder Hall had been strangled in the cradle by someone.
After registering, Ling Xiao arranged a place for Ye Xuan to stay before bringing Ye Xuan to stroll around the Heavenly Thunder Hall.
"Ling Xiao, do I have the qualifications to learn the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd now?"
Ye Xuan suddenly asked.
Hearing his words, Ling Xiao nodded, "You do. All core disciples can learn our Heavenly Thunder Hall's supreme technique, the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd."
"All of them?"
Ye Xuan raised his brows.
He had heard that the Heavenly Thunder Hall had a total of three thousand core disciples and a hundred thousand ordinary disciples.
With three thousand people able to learn the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd, was the Heavenly Thunder Hall not afraid that the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd would spread?
Still, very quickly, he knew that the mid-grade Ethereal Opening ability, the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd, could not be spread.
Because the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd was a heaven-connecting artifact. That ability could only be learnt through comprehending the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd.
Gazing at that Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd before him as well as the hundred Heavenly Thunder Hall disciples surrounding it, Ye Xuan suddenly recalled the Dao Heart Devil Seed Technique.
Wasn't the Dao Heart Devil Seed Technique also learnt through comprehending the statue of the Devil God?
"Ye Xuan, that is the weapon used by our Heavenly Thunder Hall's Founder, our Ling Family's ancestor, the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd."
Ling Xiao introduced.
"This Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd is a little damaged ah," Ye Xuan unconsciously said.
"That's right. When the Founder obtained this Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd, it was already damaged. The Founder said that if it could be repaired, the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd could become a third-grade heaven-connecting artifact. It was with this that the Founder created the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd, "Ling Xiao nodded.
While the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd was only a mid-grade Ethereal Opening ability, it was extremely close to a high-grade Ethereal Opening ability.
Even if a first level Ethereal Opening martial practitioner learnt it, some might not even be able to use it.
"Ye Xuan, you go and try it out first. There are still three days before the entry battle anyway. Even if you can't comprehend it, if you grasp a sliver of the power of heavenly thunder, it would still be helpful to your strength. My brother and I had to learn for a whole three months before we learnt the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd, before going to Black Chaotic Corner for tempering, "Ling Yun smiled as she said from the side.
"Alright, I'll give it a try then."
Ye Xuan nodded.
Actually, he did not need to learn the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd, because he had already copied it down and learnt it.
Now, he was just putting on an act here. This way, he could legitimately use the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd.
Afterwards, Ling Xiao and Ling Yun left, leaving Ye Xuan to comprehend it alone here.
Ye Xuan extended his senses, discovering that there were still third level Ethereal Opening experts here. These should be Heavenly Thunder Hall disciples with higher cultivation bases, but lower comprehension abilities.
At the same time, a white-haired old man was seated in the meditative position in a corner of this palace.
This white-haired old man was the guardian of the Heavenly Thunder Battle Halberd, possessing incomparable strength.
Ye Xuan sat here, 'carefully' comprehending it for three days.
In these three days, Luo Luo successfully broke through to the Ethereal Opening stage. At the same time, the Heavenly Connecting Treasure Tree within the Planting Space had also grown by several hundred metres, the qi of heaven and earth having more than doubled.
At the same time, many natural treasures had been born within the Planting Space, all of which had been devoured by Ye Xuan, increasing his cultivation base.
However, today was the day of the entry battle for the Heavenly Thunder Forbidden Grounds, so Ye Xuan had to leave.
