Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 115 Earth Attribute Lotus Platform

The Xiao family's house, a small courtyard with lights always on.

Inside the house, in the reception room, the room was quite spacious. The floor was covered with mysterious patterns that together formed a circular array of earthen yellow color.

In the center of the formation, a girl in green sat cross-legged with her eyes closed. Her delicate face was bloodless, her usually rosy lips were slightly chapped, and her brows were full of pain. In her dazed state, she murmured something almost imperceptibly.

Qing Shuang watched Xun'er, who occasionally emitted a faint, scorching golden light, from the side, not daring to even breathe.

The clan leader arranged everything for my young lady's breakthrough. Although I know she won't be in any danger, I can't help but feel a little nervous seeing her pained expression.

However, when he occasionally heard the name mentioned by the young lady, he gritted his teeth and felt very dissatisfied.

After watching for a while, Qing Shuang turned around and went into the courtyard. Inside the house, besides being anxious, she couldn't help at all.

"Master Ling, have you found that person yet?" Qing Shuang asked, seeing Ling Ying sitting in the courtyard.

She and Lingying saw that their young lady kept talking about that person, so they decided to disobey orders and go find him. Even if they couldn't help, they could at least keep him company and offer some comfort, just like before. But they didn't see him at all.

"No, we don't know where Young Master Xiao Bai has gone. I heard he left ten days ago and hasn't returned yet!" Ling Ying said, a little annoyed.

She prayed in her heart that nothing bad would happen to this guy, otherwise, if the young lady found out, she was afraid she would turn the entire Gama Empire upside down.

"That bastard, so heartless and ungrateful! It's a shame that Miss treated him so well!" Qing Shuang said angrily.

She guessed that there might have been some unpleasantness between the two, but she didn't expect that the person would not apologize for so many days, and now she couldn't even find him.

With such a proud and aloof personality, I wonder what kind of spell that man cast on her that made her so infatuated with him!

"Watch your words!" Ling Ying said lightly, glancing at her before calmly adding, "Regardless of what he is like, in Miss's heart, his status is far beyond what the two of us can compare to. Be careful what you say!"

"Hmph!" Qing Shuang snorted somewhat displeased, but remembering her mistress's attitude towards that person, she ultimately remained silent.

Just then, Ling Ying suddenly stood up and looked in a certain direction. Qing Shuang, who was a little puzzled, also seemed to sense something and looked in that direction as well.

A moment later, a streak of purplish-red light streaked across the dark night sky, hurtling toward this place at breakneck speed.

Ling Ying recognized the familiar color and immediately knew who it was, her heart sinking with relief.

As the light fell, a pale-faced young man appeared in their line of sight, looking somewhat anxious.

"Elder Ling, how is Xun'er?" Xiao Bai asked as soon as he saw Ling Ying.

"Miss is alright, but this time the pain is more severe than usual!"

Seeing Xiao Bai's expression, it seemed that he already knew that his young lady was not in good condition, and Ling Ying couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

As they were talking, Xiao Bai walked straight in, and the two of them did not stop him.

"Xun'er!"

Seeing her like this, Xiao Bai felt very sorry for her. He had seen her suffer from the pain of being burned by strange fire before, but never as badly as she was now.

"Brother Xiao Bai!" Xun'er seemed to hear his voice and uttered a barely audible call in her drowsy state.

Xiao Bai felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing her call. Although he was eager to go over, he hesitated to act upon seeing the array on the ground.

He didn't know much about formations, but he could roughly tell that it was an earth-attribute formation, probably using earth to suppress the strange fire energy in Xun'er's body and alleviate her pain.

"This is the Earth Spirit Fire Subduing Formation, a formation that gathers earth spirit energy to suppress fire attributes. Miss has not yet broken through to the Dou Zhe level, and her meridians are too fragile. We can only use the gentle and substantial earth attribute from the Five Elements to alleviate her pain!"

Ling Ying seemed to notice Xiao Bai's confusion and spoke up to explain.

Xiao Bai immediately understood what he meant. Xun'er was currently in the Dou Qi stage, so she couldn't use things like the Ice Spirit Cold Spring or Heavenly Cold Qi when Xiao Yan subdued the strange fire in the original work. She could only use the earth attribute, which was relatively gentle and heavy, which was restrained by fire among the five elements. This was to alleviate the pain and to protect her, otherwise her meridians would not be able to withstand it.

In the Five Elements, earth and water are the elements that restrain fire. However, in this case, using water to suppress the strange fire will only make Xun'er's pain more intense.

Having figured this out, Xiao Bai knew how to help Xun'er. When it comes to understanding the Five Elements, he was now quite an expert, and his body was constantly playing with the interactions of the Five Elements.

He carefully sensed the flow and changes of energy within the formation. In the past, given his current empty soul, he wouldn't have been able to sense anything at all. However, after the rune between his eyebrows opened its eyes, he felt extremely at ease with the surrounding world, and the flow of energy within it was even more acute and clear.

The formation wasn't large, and in an instant, the entire formation's operation clearly appeared in my mind.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Bai turned to Ling Ying and said, "I want to go in!"

"No!" Qing Shuang objected coldly before Ling Ying could speak, then continued, "You won't be of any help going in, and you might even cause trouble for Miss. Just stay here and watch!"

Xiao Bai frowned. He had never seen this woman before, but he figured she must be one of Xun'er's guards. After thinking for a moment, he patiently said, "I have a way to alleviate Xun'er's pain!"

"Hehe!" Qing Shuang sneered, not saying a word, but in her heart she was somewhat disdainful. This arrangement was made by the clan leader. With the clan leader's cultivation level, how could you possibly help him?

"Young Master Xiao Bai, tell me your method first!" Ling Ying saw Xiao Bai's face darken, glanced at her silly disciple Qing Shuang with a hint of speechlessness, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

Xiao Bai ignored the woman; Xun'er's matter was more important at the moment. However, this also made him truly realize just how arrogant these people from the ancient clans were.

What was said in the original work is ultimately just a written description. Now Xiao Bai truly realizes that if he were to encounter people from the ancient clans in the future, given his temperament, he would definitely have to fight them several times.

Putting aside his thoughts, Xiao Bai took out the lotus platform of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame from his ring, and the entire room was immediately bathed in a blue light.

The strange fire had been handed over to Yao Lao, but Xiao Bai kept the lotus platform. Yao Lao was quite dissatisfied at the time, but Xiao Bai ignored him. He had already made arrangements for the lotus platform, which was to be given to Xun'er.

However, the atmosphere that night was a bit awkward, so he didn't feel comfortable bringing it up and has been putting it off until now.

"Is this... the lotus platform of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?" Ling Ying asked hesitantly. He hadn't gone into the strange fire space that day, but he later learned that Xiao Bai had obtained the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

"good!"

"While this thing can contain strange flames, it itself contains fire attributes. Will it really be of any use?"

Ling Ying was a little suspicious; might this thing actually do more harm than good?

Xiao Bai remained silent, channeling the Earthly Nether Lightning into the lotus platform. Xiao Bai's face paled further as the balance within his body was disrupted, and the Metally Tribulation Lightning became active again, causing him even greater pain.

At this moment, the entire lotus platform changed from cyan to brown with a hint of purple. The earth element on the lotus platform instantly suppressed the cyan fire element. To anyone who looked at the entire lotus platform, it was a treasure with a strong earth element.

"Young Master Xiao Bai, are you alright?" Ling Ying asked with some concern when she saw him trembling slightly. This guy can't be allowed to get hurt!

"I'm fine! Is it okay now?" Xiao Bai asked calmly.

"Yes, yes!" Ling Ying nodded hurriedly. The young lady was not in any immediate danger, and this formation was only meant to alleviate her pain. If they could place the young lady on this lotus platform, the effect would be even better!

Moreover, he keenly sensed that Xiao Bai seemed a little impatient. If Xiao Bai held a grudge against him, his future days would probably be difficult. He had been disciplined by the young lady before, unlike Qing Shuang, who was a simpleton.

Xiao Bai followed his senses and entered the formation without affecting it. He came to Xun'er's side and felt a pang of heartache when he saw her pitiful, pale face.

Seemingly sensing his arrival, Xun'er's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"Xun'er, don't be afraid, Brother Xiao Bai will help you!" Xiao Bai patted her little head and said softly, feeling a little speechless about his future father-in-law whom he had never met.

He gently picked her up, and a burning sensation came over him, but Xiao Bai didn't care about the intense heat.

Xiao Bai placed the lotus platform on the array's central eye, and with a thought, Xiao Wu instantly connected with the entire array. Only then did Xiao Bai carefully place Xun'er on the lotus platform.

In an instant, the Earth Qi and Netherworld Qi overwhelmed the strange fire on Xun'er's body, and the girl's tense face relaxed, revealing a faint look of relief.

"Is it just a flame?" Xiao Bai thought to himself, sensing the intensity of the golden flames on Xun'er's body.

Before he started practicing cultivation techniques, and because of the seal from Gu Yuan, he didn't know whether Xun'er's body contained a complete strange fire or a child fire.

Xiao Bai wanted to check Xun'er's condition to see if he could help, but he hesitated to act, fearing that Gu Yuan might have left some hidden tricks in the seal inside Xun'er's body.

If they really have a backup plan, and they get hit, Xun'er might end up a widow!

She didn't dare let Xiao Yi treat her right now, because who knew if the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, now imbued with the Qi of Yi Wood, would go berserk.

He had no choice but to sit down to the side, close his eyes, and while recovering his soul power, he mobilized Xiao Bing and Xiao Yi to suppress the restless Geng metal tribulation lightning.

A streak of light flashed across the night sky and landed at the Xiao family's residence, attracting the attention of some members of the family.

The old apothecary sensed his presence and instantly floated out of the room. He saw Xiao Bai land somewhere in the Xiao family compound, which was the residence of that mysterious little girl. He then paid no further attention to it.

"What's wrong, teacher!" Xiao Yan ran out wearing only a pair of pants and shirtless, and hurriedly asked.

Just now, he saw the old doctor's figure flash out and thought something had happened, so he hurriedly put on a pair of pants and ran out while soaking in the bathtub.

"It's nothing, your beloved Brother Bai is back!" Yao Lao stroked his beard, glanced at him, and said indifferently.

"real!"

Xiao Yan jumped up with joy. He had gone to look for Xiao Bai a few days ago, but the door was locked and he didn't see him.

"Heh. You're so disgusted with the pills I refine?" The old medicine master looked at him with a dangerous glint in his eyes, as if he were about to wipe out his sect at the slightest provocation.

"Haha. The Foundation Establishment Elixir refined by the teacher is undoubtedly excellent, but..." Xiao Yan hesitated to continue.

Seeing that the old doctor's expression, which had eased somewhat, instantly tensed up upon hearing the word "however," and stared intently at him, he couldn't help but swallow hard, swallowing back the words he was about to say.

"Speak up. Why did you stop? But what? Keep talking, your master is listening!" The old doctor's tone was calm, but a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

"Haha. It's nothing, it's nothing. Teacher's pills are the best!" Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and chuckled, thinking to himself, no wonder the old man's expression has been a bit unpredictable these past two days.

"Hmph!" The old doctor snorted coldly, too lazy to bother with this kid. He knew what the kid was thinking.

He thought that the Foundation Establishment Elixir he refined wasn't as effective as the one refined by Xiao Bai, so he secretly went to find his brother Bai behind his back. Unexpectedly, Bai wasn't there, so he came back dejectedly to use the one he refined. This kid actually thought he didn't know!

"What a lucky guy who doesn't know how good he has it!" Yao Lao thought with a hint of resentment.

He, Yao Chen, a dignified eighth-grade alchemist, never imagined that the pills he refined would one day be disliked by others. Just thinking about it makes him feel a little depressed.

No! We can't let this kid follow Xiao Bai around. If this continues, this disciple will be ruined. He needs to experience the hardships of life. Those three years of training don't seem to be enough!

Once he breaks through to the Dou Zhe level, we need to take him out to gain experience, let him see some blood, and broaden his horizons. Otherwise, he'll just stay cooped up in Wutan City. This kid's knowledge is just too shallow!

After this trip, he felt that he needed to change his approach to training Xiao Yan.

Look at that kid Xiao Bai, he's only two years older than him, but the difference is too big. I just sensed that kid seems to have broken through again, and he's already at the Dou Ling level!

I remember the last time he broke through to the Great Dou Master was in Stone Desert City. It hasn't been that long. This kid is truly a monster!

"Go, go, go, continue your cultivation. Last time you shamelessly said that we came back as Dou Zhe, but now you're still stuck in the Dou Zhi power. How dare you!" Yao Lao waved his hand and directly led Xiao Yan into the house.

"Teacher, I just finished cultivating!" Xiao Yan's face fell, and he cried out in a somewhat mournful tone.

As dawn broke, the night quietly passed.

Xiao Bai felt a gentle gaze fall on him, and couldn't help but open his eyes. Instantly, a slightly haggard but pretty face appeared before him, with a faint smile.

"Xun'er!" Xiao Bai looked at the girl lying on the lotus platform, her head close to his, and asked with delight, "Are you feeling better?"

Xun'er's eyebrows curved, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and her usually clear voice became slightly hoarse as she softly said, "Brother Xiao Bai, don't worry, Xun'er is much better now!"

Xiao Bai gently patted her head with a touch of pity: "That's good!"
