On the other hand, the Thunder Emperor, Lei Yuye, upon seeing his sworn brother suddenly fainting was stunned. He thought that Tan Shengyu had been food poisoned by what he ate on the way. He had already warned him to eat outside as breakfast must be served at home, he didn’t listen to him and thought that was why Tan Shengyu lost consciousness.

Lei Yuye scolded while helping Tan Shengyu up, "That’s why I told you not to buy those meat buns!"

Everyone thought that Tan Shengyu was just pretending only to notice that the appearance of Tan Shengyu was strange and there was an eerie green aura coming from him followed by the scent of something rotting. The Immortal Sun Emperor checked on his stupid disciple and frowned when he noticed that the eerie green aura is trying to poison Tan Shengyu’s soul.

The Thunder Emperor said, "This ghostly green aura feels familiar."

"Nethersoul Poison. This is something the Nether Shura Demonic Sect uses to leave traces on their target. They must have noticed his strong yang energy and got targeted by them," said the Immortal Sun Emperor.

A phoenix nirvana flame appeared on the tip of Shen Jueyang’s finger, Lei Yuye recognized it right away. It’s a rare type of flame which is usually wielded by a pureblood phoenix race of flame. However, the true blood flame phoenix had been killed on the Cosmos Battlefield before and now only the Ice Phoenix divine race remains as the True phoenix blood’s descendants. However, since they are a mutated phoenix, not even one of them can use Phoenix Nirvana Flames and its fragments have scattered all over the place used by the other races. In Lei Yuye’s eyes this flame on Shen Jueyang’s hand is one of the fragments when in reality as the ruler of sun and flames, Shen Jueyang can recreate all types of flames.

"Phoenix Nirvana Flames?! You have something good there!" Lei Yuye said.

The Immortal Sun Emperor lied with his eyes wide open, "Picked it up before."

Shen Jueyang once again bathes Tan Shengyu’s body with Nirvana Flames to cleanse not only his vessel but also his body. This is the third time he had bathed in this kind of flames so the usual feeling of burning can no longer be felt by Tan Shengyu. Instead, he feels so relaxed and soothing as if bathing in a perfect temperature hotsprings. The Thunder Emperor also noticed this and frowned. He had heard that this Phoenix Nirvana Flame is the most painful as it removes all impurities in one’s body. However, seeing the relief expression on Tan Shengyu’s face, he felt that this flame might be fake.

"What is this? Is it that relaxing?" Lei Yuye said as he was about to reach out his hand only to be stopped by Shen Jueyang. But the slight touch from his finger tips was enough to turn the tip of his fingers burned black.

The Immortal Sun Emperor scolded him. "Do you not want your hand anymore?!" Shen Jueyang noticed the slight burn on Lei Yuye’s fingers and sighed in relief. He is afraid that Yue Xuexia might mistake him for bullying her uncle and getting kicked out of the house.

Yue Xuexia, who had witnessed what happened, had patted the shoulder of Shen Jueyang and said, "Good job."

Only then did Shen Jueyang let go of Lei Yuye’s hand which is now held by Yue Xuexia and was healed instantly by her Sacred Healing Skill. The burn tips had its charcoaled skin peeled up replacing into a newly healed skin. Now the Thunder Emperor’s hand was as good as new.

The Moon Goddess said to her uncle, "Uncle, don’t try to touch a phoenix flame directly next time. Uncle Shengyu is alright due to his physique but others will be born directly to experience Nirvana. Moreover, according to his master, Uncle Shengyu was burned by Phoenix Nirvana Flames before. It’s normal that at the third time, it wouldn’t have much effect on him anymore."

Tan Shengyu, who felt that the eerie aura in him was completely burned down, started absorbing the phoenix flames. Lei Yuye upon hearing the explanation of his niece finally understood why Tan Shengyu had a refreshing expression while being burned. For him, who had undergone such flame baptism thrice it no longer had any effect on him. This flame is now no different from an ordinary flame for him.

"Hm~ that feels amazing! The heavy thing on me suddenly disappeared. Thank you!" Tan Shengyu said. He didn’t dare to call his own master nephew as being called uncle by the Immortal Sun Emperor.

The Thunder King, Lei Yuye said, "No wonder he looks like he is bathing in some kind of relaxing hot spring? No, wait!? Xue’er you’ve met that bastard ex-husband of yours?!"

Yue Xuexia wanted to deny that she didn’t have a husband and that she isn’t Yue Xuehua but someone similar to her. If it was the other people she would refute them right away but not his uncle. After all, it’s so annoying to make further explanations and she is so lazy to speak more than necessary.

"Yes. He taught me cultivation in the mortal world I was reincarnated from and gave me the flying ship that we had used to arrive in this world. Wash your hands. Breakfast is about to be served," said the Moon Goddess as she walked back to the kitchen.

Lei Yuye thought that his niece was annoyed that he brought up her ex-husband and decided not to speak anymore, afraid of picking on his niece’s wounds.

"Alright, let’s not talk about the Immortal Sun Emperor in front of my niece. She must have hated him for what happened in their past life," said Lei Yuye.

Shen Jueyang’s thoughts: ’Instead of being lazy I think she is just too lazy to explain things to you.’

Tan Shengyu said, "But Bro, aren’t you the one who opened that topic?" In the end, he got a hit on the back of his head for being too honest.

Shen Jueyang turned the conversation into something serious and said, "The problem is the Nether Shura Demonic Sect. You are being targeted."

"Isn’t it gone now? I’ve burned all traces of aura in me," said Tan Shengyu, looking confused.

The Thunder Emperor said, "The Nether Shura Demonic Sect is said to follow the Ancient Shura Clan who follows the Primordial Shura God’s path. They are well known for their slyness and cruelty. They are a bit similar to our clan, like how we never let go of those who kill our kind. In their case, they never let go of their target and only stop if the target is taken away by them or they kill him. There should be something like a tracking tattoo on your body that is shaped like a green skull."

Upon hearing this Tan Shengyu shivered instinctively and now looked terrified as he looked all over his body and saw a green skull on right ankle. Seeing this strange tattoo he felt cold all over his body.

Tan Shengyu said, "Boohoo~ I really have one on my ankle!"

Glancing at the green skull tattoo, "You should stop buying cheap things. Those were either cursed or had long gone bad," Shen Jueyang said.

Lei Yuye clicked his tongue and said, "That’s why I told you not to buy it. Who the hell sells a tray of meat buns for a few coppers!"

"I’m wrong! It smells delicious. I couldn’t help myself!" Tan Shengyu said.

The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "Those were made to target people with extra powerful yang energy in their bodies. Your type of soul is the kind they love eating the most."

"What should we do then? Will I get eaten?" Tan Shengyu said. "Can this tattoo be removed?"

The Thunder Emperor said, "What are you so scared about?! Even though I don’t know where my niece plans to go next, she will most likely go visit the other haven. I will join you on the way. Don’t worry with me here, nothing will happen!"

"As for the tattoo, we can only grab one of them and ask how to remove it," said Shen Jueyang. "Let’s worry about it after breakfast."

Tang Yuyi called them over, "The breakfast is served!"

Everyone gathered at the table to eat breakfast together.

Meanwhile at the Regal Lei Sect...

Those who needed to break through had all fled out of the territory afraid that they might destroy their empire if their divine punishment landed in their palace. This is especially true for those who had successfully broken through the godking king as they number more than a dozen after receiving the blessings. Even the ancestors of the Lei Clan had gotten some minor breakthrough to their realm.

Getting minor breakthroughs is a huge leap for their strengths after all most of their cultivation realm were at least peak emperor realm or already at tribulant realm like Lei Yuhuang who had broken through from two-halos Tribulation realm cultivator to four-halos Tribulation realm cultivator.

Lei Yuhuang was the most delighted while half of his body was covered with Ancient Lightning runes looking seemingly similar to how the former Primordial Lightning Gods look. No lightning armor or weapons, simply using his body to fight, control lightning to create a weapon.

"Hahaha~ Lao Yue, I am finally one halo stronger than you are!" Lei Yuhuang shouted while laughing in excitement and delight.
