211: Seventh level of the Profound Saint Realm

Twenty days later

Inside the Xuan Lei Sect, some Disciples began to complain because they had been unable to enter the Heavenly Thunder Pool to Cultivate for a while. However, the answer they received from various Elders was to wait patiently for a bit longer.

On this day, Jiang Ye's aura changed drastically within the Heavenly Thunder Pool; the power accumulated in his body had almost reached its boiling point.

"Hahaha! It's a success, it's a success!" Jiang Ye suddenly burst into laughter. It turned out that besides accumulating the Power of Thunder, he had also done something inconceivable.

Jiang Ye had let his long-dormant God Slaying Bloodline devour his upgraded Pure Yang Bloodline. If Yan Kui were here to see this, he would think Jiang Ye had gone mad! The severe consequences that could arise from merging and devouring two completely different Bloodlines were truly unthinkable.

Now, after devouring the Pure Yang Bloodline, the God Slaying Bloodline had awakened to thirty percent. He was confident that even at his current Profound Energy Realm, with the support of the God Slaying Bloodline Power, he would dare to take on the Ninth Stage Xuan Saint Realm head-on!

Jiang Ye felt the Power of Thunder inside him; he could no longer absorb any more and prepared to Breakthrough his Realm in one go.

"Phew... now I'll give it one last push to see if I can break through two major Realms directly. Break!!"

Boom!!! A powerful aura of Breakthrough erupted. In less than fifteen minutes, he broke through to the First Stage Xuan Venerable Realm.

Immediately after, the Second Stage Xuan Venerable Realm, the Third Stage Xuan Venerable Realm, the Third Stage Xuan Venerable Realm... it continued to surge upward!!

Not far from the Heavenly Thunder Pool, Lei Ming was also shocked by this scene!

Two hours later

Jiang Ye's Realm had reached the Ninth Stage Xuan Venerable Realm, but it didn't stop; he was about to break through to the First Stage Xuan Saint Realm!

Lei Ming, watching from the side, truly couldn't understand. He had seen peerless geniuses and prodigies break through two or three minor Realms, or even five or six in a row. But Jiang Ye had already broken through more than ten minor Realms, and he showed no sign of stopping.

He took out a jade talisman and crushed it, summoning a Xuan Lei Sect Old Ancestor, who was also his father, Lei Huan.

Lei Huan asked, "What's going on?"

Lei Ming pointed at Jiang Ye in the center of the Heavenly Thunder Pool and said, "This kid has broken through more than a dozen minor Realms in a row and hasn't stopped yet. I really don't understand what's happening with him."

"Hmm?" Lei Huan also looked over, just in time to see Jiang Ye break through to the First Stage Xuan Saint Realm. His gaze instantly fixed on him. "This kid! He's the Thunder Body you brought back from outside. Even when Lei Jun mastered the Thunder Body, he was never this terrifying."

Lei Ming nodded. "That's right! This is the first time I've seen someone break through like this."

Lei Huan soon spotted the crux of the matter and said, "It seems he stored the Power of Thunder in his body and released it all at once to help him break through his Realm. However... how could he store so much Power of Thunder? He has absorbed almost all the Power of Thunder drawn down by the eighty-one Thunder Attraction Pillars."

"Twenty days ago, the Disciples cultivating outside couldn't continue because there wasn't enough Power of Thunder. I also can't figure out how he stored so much Power of Thunder in his body; even a Thunder Body would find it difficult to do so."

One hour later

Jiang Ye's Realm had reached the Xuan Saint Realm Fifth Stage. The Power of Thunder he had stored was nearing its limit, so he decided to use the God Slaying Bloodline Power to push through two stages in one go!

"Ah... Break!!!"

Boom!! A powerful surge of Profound Energy erupted within Jiang Ye's body!

Fifteen minutes later, the Seventh Stage of Xuan Saint Realm! Jiang Ye had broken through two stages in a row.

The father and son, Lei Huan and Lei Ming, were also stunned. Seeing that his stored Power of Thunder was almost exhausted, they didn't know where such a strong power suddenly erupted from, allowing him to break through two minor Realms directly.

By this time, Jiang Ye had finished his Breakthrough and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed to adjust his breathing and stabilize his current Realm.

Half an hour later

Jiang Ye opened his eyes and looked at the Power of Thunder in his hand; it was much stronger than what he had wielded before! Due to the surge in his Profound Energy Realm, his other powers had also grown significantly stronger. He was quite satisfied with the results of his nearly three months of Cultivation.

But in an instant, an image of Yan Kui appeared in his mind as if a spell had been cast. "This tiny bit of strength is worth you being so happy?"

Jiang Ye was instantly speechless. His excitement, which had just flared up, was extinguished like a bucket of cold water had been poured over it.

Jiang Ye had long noticed Lei Ming and the other person nearby, so he stood up and flew toward them, arriving in front of them.

"Vice Sect Master Lei! Who is this Senior?"

Lei Ming chuckled. "Hehe, this is one of the three Great Ancestors of our Xuan Lei Sect, Lei Huan, who is also my father."

"Oh, Disciple Jiang Ye greets Ancestor Lei!" Jiang Ye bowed respectfully to Lei Huan.

Lei Huan chuckled and said, "Not bad, not bad! You've broken through two major Realms in less than three months since joining my Xuan Lei Sect! You are truly unprecedented!"

Jiang Ye smiled. "It's all thanks to the Heavenly Thunder Pool; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly."

Lei Ming suddenly said, "By the way, you're just in time for the Profound Realm Youth Competition. You should participate then. The rewards for this competition are very generous; even entering the top ten will grant you a significant amount of resources."

"Oh? What level of strength do they have?"

"This time, all the hidden prodigies of every power will show themselves. However, with your current strength, I'm afraid no one among the younger generation in the Profound Realm is your match anymore."

Jiang Ye asked again, "Then how many hidden prodigies does the Xuan Lei Sect have?"

"There are three. They Cultivate by the side of the three Old Ancestors all year round. My son, Lei Jun, is one of them, and he has already reached the Xuan Saint Realm Fifth Stage."

"Holy crap! As expected of the prodigies here in the Profound Realm; their Realms have reached such a level. No wonder you don't care about that Secret Realm in the Outer Profound Realm."

Lei Ming smiled. "Alright, you've just finished your Breakthrough, go and rest first! In two days, when those few people come out of seclusion, I'll introduce you to each other so you can look out for one another during the competition."

"Alright! I'll head down and rest then."

The first person Jiang Ye thought of was Wu Linglong. Being at a vigorous age and having been away from 'business' for too long, he was feeling quite restless.

Yan Yun Tower

Jiang Ye arrived at the entrance of the hall and asked a beautiful, slender female receptionist, "I'm looking for your new Disciple, Wu Linglong."

The female receptionist smiled flatteringly. "Hehehe, Young Master has come at a bad time. Junior Sister Wu is currently in seclusion, preparing for the Profound Realm Youth Competition in ten days. She's expected to come out in four or five days."

"I see! Sigh... then I'll come back to find her in a few days!"

"Hehehe, you might not be able to see her in a few days either. There are already more than a dozen people wanting to see her, all of whom are young talents from various major powers."

Jiang Ye was stunned. "Why are so many people looking for her? What do they want with her?"

"To see that legendary smile, of course. Junior Sister Wu is no ordinary beauty. If she weren't the True Disciple of our Grand Elder, she probably would have been married off as a concubine to some powerhouse from another organization long ago."

"Huh? A concubine? Such a beautiful woman being someone's concubine?" Jiang Ye asked in doubt.

"That's just how our Yan Yun Tower is. We raise some considerate concubines for the Elders and Sect Masters of powerful organizations to seek protection! So, although our Yan Yun Tower isn't very strong, few powers in the Profound Realm dare to provoke us."

Jiang Ye felt some anger. "Dammit! You guys didn't force Wu Linglong to do anything after she came here, did you?"

"Hehehe, how could we? The Disciples of our Yan Yun Tower do everything voluntarily. If they can marry a Sect Master or Elder of a major power, they'd be more than happy! With a backer, they no longer have to..."

The female receptionist suddenly stopped and didn't continue. Jiang Ye's first instinct was that this Yan Yun Tower was not a good place, and he had to take Wu Linglong away.

"Can you be sure when Wu Linglong will come out of seclusion? Can you help me send her a message? Just say Jiang Ye from the Xuan Lei Sect is looking for her."

The receptionist said hesitantly, "That... I'm afraid not! She won't show her face again until the Profound Realm Youth Competition."

"Hmm?" Jiang Ye felt that something was wrong and asked again, "What exactly is going on?"
