After a pause, Talmon continued to explain, "We had too few people, and so, we had to return to the basecamp to recover often. That's why our progress was heavily affected."
"Thus, in the end, we decided to choose some talented young people on Earth, teach them martial arts, and train them. When their strength improved, they helped us search for the treasures in the Ice-sealed Realm."
Fade recalled what Aldred had told him before.
"And this was when Master and the others were chosen by Prohibition Island?"
However, Talmon shook his head and said, "Aldred and the others were not in the first batch. They were in the second."
"The first batch lacked experience, and with the difference between both worlds, they encountered a lot of problems in training.
Hence, not many succeeded. In the first batch of more than a hundred people, only two were capable of helping us and were able to stay in the organization."
"So few." Fade was somewhat surprised.
Talmon sighed softly and said, "It was way better than you think. Given our experience back then, it is considered good that we were able to cultivate a Heaven-level martial artist in just a few years."
"In addition, those two really were excellent. They've remained on Prohibition Island, and have grown to become Palace Chiefs."
Hearing this, Fade could not help but be surprised. "They became Palace Chiefs? Who are they?"
Aldred smiled and said, "One of them was the Chief of Brightness Hall. However, more than 200 years ago, he was seriously injured when exploring the Ice- sealed realm and he eventually died."
"You should be very familiar with the other. He is the present Chief of Green Wood Hall, Janus.”
"Ah, Janus. He was one of the first batches of people to be chosen from Earth!" Fade was really shocked, and then he asked, "Grandmaster, when did the second batch of people enter Prohibition Island?"
At the mention of this, Talmon sighed and said, "Originally, we planned to select the second group of members immediately after a decade, but at that time, something big happened and everything changed.'
"At that time, the first batch of trainees were done with their training. Although only two stayed on Prohibition Island in the end, the others who did not stay could be regarded as masters. In addition, during those years, we also gathered some masters from Earth and a team of hundreds of people."
"After we had adequate preparations, we went into the Ice-sealed realm once again."
"This time, we seemed to be lucky. I found an ice path within half a month after arriving. Deep within it, in the depths of the extreme cold, I found a bead like a pearl that emitted cold energy."
"Right then, we were sure that this pearl was the treasure we were looking for, the Ice Soul Pearl."
"I was so excited and was about to keep the Ice Soul Pearl in my sack. However, never did I imagine that at the last moment, the three servants whom I trusted would sneak an attack and fight with us."
"After that, Master discovered Yarrow, followed by his escape from the Island and his entrance into the Ice- sealed Realm, right?"
Aldred nodded and said, "At that time, I was chased by the Three Palace Masters. With the secret signal from Yarrow, I escaped into the Ice-sealed Realm and met Master."
"I explained the situation and asked to be Master's apprentice. I worked on cultivating and improving my skills while looking for information about the Island."
"In the next few hundred years, my strength slowly increased and I gradually entered the Physical Refine Realm. I also slowly investigated some information, and set up the Double Blades during this process."
"Of course, they're not idle on Prohibition Island either. They're constantly sending people to explore the Ice- sealed Realm to search for treasures and kill people. At the same time, they also made progress in recruiting Earth people and began to expand the influence of Prohibition Island."
"After all, they are not from Earth and they can't move freely."
Speaking of this, Fade thought of Secondson who was chasing him, and could not help but say, "However, Secondson came out of Prohibition Island and directly chased me. His strength did not seem to be restricted."
Aldred could not help but roll his eyes at him. "You boy, you have been making rapid progress recently. You are a bit arrogant. Do you really think that Secondson only has that little strength?"
"His strength is at the eighth stage of the Physical Refine Realm, despite being suppressed. With his true level, he would at least be at the fourth stage of the Soul Refine Realm. Firstson is even stronger. He's at least at the sixth stage and is close to the seventh." "If they didn't have the world volition to suppress them, they would have pinched you to death with one finger. Kid, how could you have a chance to escape?"
