Breaking through to the True Profound Realm

Crimson flames shot out of Yang Tian's body… it covered his entire body, and Yang Tian started to refine the powers of the Divine Phoenix Pill and add into his Profound Energy.

Slowly but surely, he felt his Cultivation Base starting to increase.

9th Level of the Nascent Soul Realm!

10th Level of the Nascent Soul Realm!

As he stuck the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, Yang Tian had merely utilised 20% of the power of the Divine Phoenix Pill.

Soon enough, he crossed the bottleneck and entered the 1st Level of the True Profound Realm.

2nd Level of the True Profound Realm!

3rd Level of the True Profound Realm!

4th Level of the True Profound Realm!

5th Level of the True Profound Realm!

This was indeed somewhat better than what the Phoenix Spirit initially expected. It was related to the Fire Spirit Body of the Evil God which had allowed Yang Tian to absorb the 100% of the Divine Phoenix Pill.

It took him 2 days to ultimately refine the Divine Phoenix Pill. After having increased his cultivation base, he went to look at the stone on which the Phoenix had inscribed the Fifth and the Sixth Stage of the [World Ode of the Phoenix].

"What are you doing? Are you trying to forcefully comprehend the [World Ode of the Phoenix] using only the Fifth and the Sixth Stages? That's impossible… Not even my brother would have been able to do that."

Jasmine chirped from within the Sky Poison Pearl. He was somewhat surprised that she had remained quiet for so long. Perhaps it was related to the fact that she didn't want to disturb him during the trial.

"In reality, this isn't all that difficult. I just need to move the Profound Energy in my body so that when it does reach the fifth stage or the sixth stage, it is exactly how it is inscribed on this stone. Using that way, I might not be able to use the profound skills of the First Four Stages left behind by the Divine Phoenix, I would still be able to use my own version of the Fifth and the Sixth Stages."

"Moreover, I merely want to try to comprehend it. If I can comprehend it to the point that I can use these skills, that's good. But if not, that's also fine with me. I would only gain some insight into how to use the Phoenix Flames."

Jasmine was about to speak but just hmphed after she finished hearing him. He wasn't wrong… Just gaining an insight into the Phoenix Flames was a great benefit.

"Alright, but I still feel that it's not worth wasting your time on this stupid stone. Once you return to the Divine Realm, you can also go and get them from the Flame God Realm…" Jasmine said with a shrug.

"Well, you aren't wrong about that. But that time is still years away… Until then, it's better to take all the advantage I can." With that, Jasmine turned quiet and allowed Yang Tian to try and comprehend the [World Ode of the Phoenix].

Days passed in the blink of an eye…

15 days had already passed since Yang Tian entered the Phoenix's Trial Grounds.

Meanwhile, 3 days after Yang Tian entered the Phoenix's Trial grounds, five members of the Black Demon Mercenary Group found the small tribe of the Phoenix Clan. They had come in search of their comrades who hadn't returned…

At this time, their vision fell on Lan Xueruo who was helping out the people of the Phoenix Clan. Her gentle temperament had somehow charmed all the people within this hidden Phoenix Clan. They even thought of her as one of their own. And even Lan Xueruo was happy with these people's hospitality.

She was happy to see how these people were living together… Like a family. And then there was her family… Just fighting against each other.

As these five members of the Black Demon Mercenary Group saw Lan Xueruo. They couldn't help but lick their lips and allow a perverted look to appear on their face.

Just like how those 3 members from earlier had done, these five members fought against Lan Xueruo to take her to their boss by force. But unfortunately for them, they couldn't hope to defeat Lan Xueruo who was at the 3rd Level of the True Profound Realm.

In fact, they all lost quite miserably. And just when these five members felt that they were about to lose their lives. They begged her to forgive them.

Seeing these people beg her, Lan Xueruo didn't have the heart to kill them. She forgave them and asked them that they must not come back later… Or else, she won't be merciful.

Well, this kindness of Lan Xueruo did come to bit her.

This was because a day later, those five members of the Black Demon Mercenary Group returned along with all their other comrades.

The Leader and the Vice-Leader had even more of a heinous look on their faces as they saw Lan Xueruo. It appeared that they were delighted with her beauty and wanted to have 'fun' with her.

The Phoenix Clan Head, Feng Baichuan had heeded Yang Tian's words and kept a supply of food and water within the seal left behind by the Divine Phoenix.

Upon seeing that the entire Black Demon Mercenary Group had come, Lan Xueruo immediately called out for her contracted beast, Little Snow (Giant Snow Eagle) to fight against these people.

However, the other side had 4 experts of the True Profound Realm, one of them was the same as Lan Xueruo, at the 3rd Level of the True Profound Realm. Moreover, there were also a hundred members of the Black Demon Mercenary Group.

Even if Lan Xueruo and Little Snow could fight against these Black Demon Mercenary Group, they wouldn't be able to resist for a long time.

At that time, Feng Baichuan remembered how Yang Tian had asked him to keep a store of food and water within the seal of the rear mountains. The reason he was able to keep the food and water there was because Yang Tian had casually added that the Phoenix Spirit isn't someone, who would be angered by someone merely using the seal to survive. Moreover, if that bunch happened to be the people with its own bloodline, it would definitely not be angry, even if they were cursed.

As they remembered the existence of that seal, Feng Baichuan shouted at Lan Xueruo to hold them for some time until everyone escaped.

Hearing that, Lan Xueruo spared no effort in using all the protective talismans and other treasures she had on her body to hold back the Black Demon Mercenary Group.

The Leader of the Black Demon Mercenary Group also heard of the plan and immediately threw his weapon to kill the people he could.

Unfortunately, he only managed to strike a boy at the age of 16.

A man and a woman turned their heads towards that boy and shouted, "NOO! My SON!"

However, before they could rush back to their son's body, those two were grabbed by other strong people within the Phoenix Clan and taken to the seal.

After the members of the Phoenix Clan had nearly escaped, Lan Xueruo used one last of her talisman to spread smoke. Little Snow returned to her contract seal, and Lan Xueruo immediately ran towards the seal of the rear mountains where Feng Baichuan was waiting for her outside the seal.

He grabbed her hand and took her within the seal.
