238: Above the Emperor Realm

Over the next two days, taking advantage of the fact that both Sect Masters and the Ancestor were busy with their Breakthroughs and no one was there to restrain them, the entire Sect decided to celebrate for two days at the urging of Jiang Ye and the other young men, following their victory over the invading enemies!

Every Disciple of the Xuan Lei Sect was jubilant, drinking to their heart's content. At the Elders' table, Grand Elder Liu Gang shook his head helplessly; if the Sect Master or Ancestor were to scold them later, he would be the one to take the blame.

However, he didn't really mind. The younger generation was so outstanding now, and the Xuan Lei Sect had become the number one power in the Profound Realm. As the Sect's Grand Elder, he felt quite confident.

The Second Day

News spread throughout the Profound Realm that Jiang Ye and his two companions had killed a Xuan Emperor Realm Sixth Stage expert from the Forbidden Ground's Wu Family in front of the Xuan Lei Sect's gates, causing another shockwave. The forces that previously had conflicts with them were all terrified.

Jiang Ye also found an excuse to make the various powers of the Profound Realm foot the bill for their two-day celebration. He publicly declared that Wu Linglong was his wife, and any power that had previously participated in making her a prize for the Profound Realm Youth Competition must prepare a generous compensation and deliver it to the Xuan Lei Sect within three days, or he would personally come to seize their assets!

As it turned out, less than three hours after the news was released, leaders of various forces personally came to apologize and deliver gifts! Grand Elder Liu Gang was delighted; the entire Sect had a wild two-day celebration and still managed to make a profit.

The Xuan Lei Sect's deterrent power was now in a league of its own in the Profound Realm, even surpassing that of the former Shen Xuan Alliance!

Shortly after, a special person arrived at the Xuan Lei Sect—Lü Tan, who had forfeited the championship in the Profound Realm Youth Competition. He said he wanted to see Jiang Ye and the others. Upon hearing this, Shi Bao instantly flared up and rushed out to start a fight!

The two fought for over a dozen rounds in the air, much to Lü Tan's surprise.

“Fatty! You actually broke through to the Emperor Realm in such a short time. How did you do it?”

“I'll do your mother! You teamed up with those women to steal my long saber. Today, I'll make sure you die here!”

“Wait!” Lü Tan quickly shouted to stop him. “Don't you want to know what good things are specifically in that Secret Realm? Even if we keep fighting now, you can't take me down!” Boom!! Lü Tan's Profound Energy aura erupted, overpowering Shi Bao!

Shi Bao cursed, “Your uncle! A Xuan Emperor Realm expert actually went to participate in the Profound Realm Youth Competition? You were gunning for Jiang Ye's wife. You're dead today!”

“Don't go stirring up trouble! I had no idea she was his wife. Besides, I only signed up to play around after hearing about the reward.”

At this moment, Jiang Ye and Shi Feng also came out. Shi Feng shouted loudly, “Fatty Bao! Wait a moment.”

The two in the air stopped and descended to the ground. Shi Feng asked Lü Tan, “What exactly is inside that would make people from the Forbidden Ground fight for it?”

Lü Tan thought for a moment and said, “This is a serious matter. Let's find a quiet place to talk.”

The group led him to a courtyard, and the four of them sat down around a stone table to begin their conversation.

Lü Tan asked, “Do you know of the Realms above the Xuan Emperor Realm?”

“Hmm?” The group was stunned. Jiang Ye said, “Isn't the Emperor Realm the highest Realm on this continent?”

Lü Tan shook his head. “Of course not! Above the Xuan Emperor Realm are the Profound Transformation Realm, the Entering Profound Realm, and the Cheng Xuan Realm. The truly high-level domain of the Divine Profound Continent is called the Super Profound Domain! Even the Forbidden Ground where I reside is merely a transit station connecting to the Super Profound Domain. In front of those people from the Super Profound Domain, people from the Forbidden Ground are just like ants!”

“Damn!!” The three of them exclaimed simultaneously. They had been overjoyed about breaking through to the Xuan Emperor Realm, only to find out they were still just a few ants.

Jiang Ye said, “Tell us about the things inside that Secret Realm. What exactly are you people from the Forbidden Ground going in there for?”

Lü Tan held up three fingers and said, “For three kinds of ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine: the thunder spirit flower, the Chaos Grass, and the cold marrow fruit. Then, they are refined into Medicinal Pills to assist those at the Xuan Emperor Realm Ninth Stage in breaking through to the Profound Transformation Realm!”

Shi Feng said, “Refined into Medicinal Pills? The Alchemists around here probably can't refine them, right?”

“That goes without saying! Even in the Forbidden Ground, only three people are confident they can refine them.”

Jiang Ye asked, “Then doesn't everyone in the Forbidden Ground want them?”

“They definitely want them! The optimal opening time for that Secret Realm is in twenty days. Large forces and Hidden Families from the Forbidden Ground will be looking for you very soon.”

“Hmm? How do they know those three weapons are in our hands?”

“The Divine Calculators of the Investigation Tower have already calculated your location. I expect people from the major forces will find you within the next few days.”

“Damn!! Is this Investigation Tower really that powerful?”

“Outside of the Super Profound Domain, there is nothing they cannot find!”

Shi Bao said, “Then what do we do? It's already such a struggle to kill a Xuan Emperor Realm Sixth Stage. If those with higher Realms come, we won't be able to beat them!”

Lü Tan said, “Hand the weapons over to me first. I am the young clan leader of the Lü Family, a Hidden Family. I can protect these three weapons.”

“Hmm?” Jiang Ye and the other two were stunned at the same time. “If we give them to you, how will we get in?”

Suddenly, the Sect's protective array activated. Jiang Ye stood up immediately. “What's going on?”

Lü Tan said, “It should be the forces from the Forbidden Ground coming to the door. Let's go take a look together!”

“Let's go!”

The four arrived at the main gate and saw quite a few people had arrived. At this time, the three Great Ancestors of the Xuan Lei Sect had also broken through to the Xuan Emperor Realm First Stage and appeared there to confront the people from the Forbidden Ground.

Jiang Ye stepped forward and gave a salute. “Three Ancestors! What's happening?”

Ancestor Lei said, “It's the forces from the Forbidden Ground. They say you must hand over those three weapons.”

Jiang Ye used his Soul Power to probe and found that three people were a level stronger than the Xuan Emperor Realm Sixth Stage he had killed before. He thought for a moment; now was not the time to fully reveal his strength. He stepped forward, took out the sha long spear, and looked at those people.

“You want this spear, right?”

A young man named Lin Le from the Lin Family, a Hidden Family, said, “You ant are quite sensible. Hand it over!”

Jiang Ye said, “There are three weapons in total. One is in the hands of this young clan leader Lü, and the other two are here.” After speaking, he nodded toward Shi Feng.

Shi Feng understood his meaning and immediately took out the sha long sword and threw it to Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye caught the sword and said, “Now all three weapons are here. Everything should follow the principle of first come, first served. young clan leader Lü was the first to come and ask for them, so I'm giving them all to him now. Whatever happens with the Secret Realm later has nothing to do with me!” After saying that, he threw the long spear and the sword directly to Lü Tan.

Lü Tan was stunned and almost cursed out loud. This was making his Lü Family take the heat!

The forces outside the array were all taken aback. What the hell!! He was letting them fight it out with a Hidden Family?

Lin Le of the Lin Family said, “young clan leader Lü, you can't swallow all three alone, can you?”

Lü Tan said, “Then I'll give you one!” As he spoke, he threw the sword directly out to him.

Jiang Ye and the others also almost cursed; this bastard was incredibly shrewd!

After getting the sword, Lin Le said smugly, “Good! young clan leader Lü still understands the situation. Has the location for the weapons been clarified?”

Lü Tan said, “I will notify you three days in advance.”

“Good! Then we'll meet again then. Let's go!”

After Lin Le finished speaking, he led his Family members and tore through space to leave. The remaining people didn't know what to do, but a young man from the Profound Heaven Sect, a major force in the Forbidden Ground, stepped forward. He was Tang Huan, the Young Hall Master of the Profound Heaven Palace.

“young clan leader Lü, my Profound Heaven Palace also wants some guarantees.”
