Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 211 The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire (Happy New Year, fellow readers!)

"Brother Bai, I want to show you something!"

Xiao Yan suddenly remembered something, rummaged through his storage ring, took out a broken piece of jade, waved it in front of Xiao Bai, and looked smug.

"Do you know what this is?"

Xiao Bai's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately guessed what had happened. This afternoon, he had made a special trip to look for him, but he didn't expect that this guy in front of him would still succeed.

The soul force swept over it, and after a moment, a burning heat emanated from it.

"The jade storage device of 'Burning Flame Valley'!"

"!" Xiao Yan.

How do you know everything?

Looking at the expressionless face opposite him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes in frustration and complained listlessly.

I was originally planning to show off in front of him, but I didn't expect this person to tell me his background so easily, and it was exactly the same as what the teacher said.

"Little Yanzi, I've already told you, this kid is acting all mysterious, maybe he'll recognize me, but you're still not giving up and insist on showing off!" Yao Lao said with a smile.

"You're quite lucky. You've made a lot of money on your trip, even getting your hands on things from 'Burning Flame Valley'!" Xiao Bai said with a smile.

He only wanted to look at the contents of this thing and broaden his horizons; as for cultivation, he didn't have much of an idea about it.

"Brother Bai, you know about Burning Flame Valley too? Our teacher said it's a force no weaker than the Cloud Mist Sect, specializing in fire magic and following a brutal offensive path. Is that true?"

Xiao Yan looked on with curiosity; he still longed for the outside world.

Xiao Bai glanced speechlessly at the ring on his hand. How much did this old man look down on Burning Flame Valley, comparing it to Cloud Mist Sect?

Among the major powers in Zhongzhou, apart from the One Tower, One Palace, and the mysterious Sound Valley, the Burning Flame Valley has the deepest foundation, and even today, there are still Battle Saints living in it.

"Don't look at me like that. Burning Flame Valley is no weaker than Cloud Mist Sect. Am I wrong?" Elder Yao said confidently.

Back then, he tried to borrow the secret techniques from that pedantic old man Yan Huo, but he refused. He even wanted Yan Huo to praise the Burning Flame Valley, but no way!

"As long as you're happy!"

Xiao Bai shook his head, unsure why his tone sounded so resentful, and not wanting to press further. Looking at Xiao Yan's curious gaze, he helplessly said:

"Your teacher is right, Burning Flame Valley is indeed a powerful force. As for how powerful, you'll find out later. However, they have two famous things that would be very suitable for you!"

"What is it?"

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected to gain something like this. He looked down at the ring, wondering why his teacher hadn't mentioned it.

"!" said the old medicine doctor.

What's the point of saying it? You still won't get it!

"The Nine Dragons Thunderfire, ranked twelfth, and a secret technique!" Noticing Xiao Yan's subtle movements, Xiao Bai smiled unhurriedly.

"A strange fire?!"

Xiao Yan was excited and stood up abruptly, staring intently at Xiao Bai.

"Why are you so agitated? That's the inherited strange fire of Burning Flame Valley, it's been within their sect for hundreds of years. Do you think no one has coveted the Nine Dragons Thunderfire in all that time?"

At this moment, the old doctor spoke in a low voice. The Nine Dragons Thunderfire was silver in color. As the flames rose, nine silver fire dragons shuttled and roamed within them, and from time to time, the roars and might of the dragons could be heard.

Although it's only ranked twelfth, its good looks are undeniable!

Countless people have tried to take it over the years, but the Burning Flame Valley has kept a tight rein on it, leaving behind countless methods to prevent anyone from succeeding!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt as if he had been doused with cold water, instantly calming down. He understood why his teacher hadn't said anything before.

Obtaining this strange flame is virtually impossible!

"Brother Bai, you'd be better off not telling the brothers!"

Xiao Yan wore a bitter expression, feeling like crying but unable to. He had finally learned about a strange fire, but he couldn't get his hands on it. This feeling was too painful.

"I told you this so you would pay attention to that secret technique, but who knew you would focus all your attention on the strange fire!" Xiao Bai said irritably.

"Huh? Xiao Bai, you mean this jade piece?" Yao Lao exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm! That's not impossible!" Xiao Bai nodded, looking at the jade piece, and said softly:

"But don't get your hopes up too high. Given the nature of those dozen or so major powers in Zhongzhou, even if it were true, it would probably be incomplete!"

"!" said the old medicine doctor.

Does this kid even know how to talk?

"Just burn it with a different kind of fire!"

Xiao Bai waved his hand, setting up a soul barrier in the room.

Knowing that Xiao Yan told him this partly to show off, but more importantly, he wanted Xiao Yan to help him shield himself from the aura of the strange fire.

"good!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan did not hesitate. A burst of azure flame erupted from his palm, enveloping the broken black jade piece.

As time passed, ripples began to appear on the smooth surface of the jade piece, as if it were about to melt.

Suddenly, a blinding green light burst forth from the melting liquid of the jade piece, slowly twisting into a curtain of light in the air.

"It really is!!"

Upon seeing the large characters on the screen, Yao Lao shuddered, nearly tearing off his beard, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire!"

Upon hearing the teacher's voice, Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat. His eyes swept across the light screen, and from the conversation between the two, he knew that this might be a good thing.

Looking at the information on the screen, Xiao Bai frowned, cursing the bastards of Burning Flame Valley in his heart for making such a big fuss, only to have a brief introduction on the screen.

After a while, under Yao Lao's guidance, Xiao Yan absorbed the information from the jade tablet and exclaimed in amazement:

"This Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations... I truly wonder what kind of person could have created it!"

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was filled with emotion, Xiao Bai had a strange look in his eyes. When Xiao Xuan created this secret technique back then, he probably never imagined that it would become an aid to the Xiao family's resurgence.

The Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire is almost one of Xiao Yan's most important opportunities, aside from the Burning Technique.

"Brother Bai, you were right! This secret technique originally had three layers, but there's only one layer here!" Looking at Xiao Bai, Xiao Yan was shocked by the accuracy of his guess, but also a little regretful.

"Hehe. But one layer is fine too. It's only three Qi-restoring pills I got, so I've already made a huge profit!"

After dealing with the strange fire aura and withdrawing the soul barrier, Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Yan, who was like a fox that had stolen a chicken, and shook his head with a slight smile.

Silent all night.

The next few days passed quietly.

In the past few days, apart from treating Nalan Jie, Xiao Bai spent the rest of his time searching for the vice president of the Alchemist Guild of the Chuyun Empire.

However, since this guy was in disguise and Xiao Bai had never seen him before and was unfamiliar with his aura, there were no results for the time being.

Xiao Bai wasn't worried about this. Anyway, that guy would definitely be exposed at the Alchemist Conference, and then we'd know who it was.

"call"

Xiao Yan withdrew his hand from Nalan Jie, let out a long breath, glanced at the unconscious old man, and thought of the old man's expression these past few days, begging Brother Bai not to knock him out, and secretly shook his head with amusement.

He rose and walked towards the listless figure in black robes beside him, saying softly:

"Brother Bai, the poison in his body will be completely cleared after at most two more treatments!"

"Hmm!" Xiao Bai nodded nonchalantly.

"By the way, tomorrow is the first round of the Alchemist Conference. Are you going?" Sitting down on a chair, Xiao Yan seemed to remember something and suddenly asked.

"Go!" Xiao Bai slowly uttered a single word. Of course he had to go tomorrow; he still wanted to find that guy's whereabouts!

"Alright, tomorrow I'll show you how I can take down those guys without using any special fire!" Xiao Yan said confidently.

"oh!"

"Huh?" Xiao Yan realized that Xiao Bai's behavior was a bit unusual today, and said sparingly, "Brother Bai, what's wrong with you today? You seem a bit down!"

Xiao Bai shook his head slightly without saying anything, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Counting the days, Cai Lin should have arrived by now, but there's still no news. Could it be that there's been a problem with the altar baptism?

After pondering for a long time without success, Xiao Bai had no choice but to give up.

If Cai Lin hasn't appeared by tomorrow after we find that guy, he might have to go back to the Tagor Desert to check on things.

"Oh, young friend Bai, can't you let this old man stay awake next time?" Nalan Jie woke up at this moment and complained slightly. He felt very uncomfortable having to faint every time.

"At most two treatments will completely clear the poison from your body. Don't come over for the next couple of days, I have something to do!" Xiao Bai ignored his complaints and spoke directly.

"But if you encounter any trouble, young friend, rest assured, in this Gama Empire, I still have influence. If needed, just ask!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Nalan Jie was getting anxious. The branding poison was about to be removed, but it was stuck here, neither going up nor down. How could this be allowed!

"We're going to the Alchemist Conference. What, does the Nalan family pre-select the champion?"

Seeing him pat his chest with a hint of arrogance on his face, Xiao Bai spoke with a mocking tone.

Xiao Yan is going to the Alchemist Conference tomorrow, and he needs to find someone, so he won't have time.

"Uh, this old man really can't be of much help!" A hint of realization flashed in Nalan Jie's eyes, and he gave an embarrassed smile before speaking:

"Young friend Bai, young friend Yan Xiao, my Nalan family is hosting a banquet tonight. Would you two do me the honor of joining us at our humble abode, so that I may extend my hospitality?"

"Don't worry, they're all young people, so you'll probably have a lot in common."

"I have something to do, I can't go!"

Xiao Bai shook his head, showing no interest whatsoever in the banquet. What was he going to do with all the second-generation heirs of the Gama Empire gathered here?

"I need to rest well and prepare for tomorrow's conference!" Seeing Nalan Jie's gaze, Xiao Yan shook his head and said calmly.

"!" Nalan Jie.

Given his status, it's unlikely that many people in the Gama Empire would refuse his personal invitation. However, these two people showed him no respect whatsoever.

Nalan Jie left helplessly.

Xiao Bai returned to the courtyard.

I saw a small figure sitting on the steps in front of the door, chin in hand, big eyes staring blankly, seemingly lost in thought.

"Zi Yan, what are you doing sitting here?"

Xiao Bai walked over, sat down beside her, touched her ponytail, and asked softly.

"Xiao Bai, you're back!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Zi Yan narrowed her dark eyes and said with a smile;

"I'm sitting here, of course, waiting for you!"

"What are you waiting for me for?"

Xiao Bai's eyes showed doubt. He had been busy these past few days and hadn't paid attention to her. He wondered where she had been playing all day.

"Someone invited me to a party. I came to ask if I could go?"

Zi Yan's big eyes lit up with anticipation; no one had ever invited her before!

At Canaan College, people avoided her like the plague, and no one would invite her to any party.

"Who invited you?" Xiao Bai asked in surprise.

"It's that Nalan Yanran! She even gave me an invitation!"

With a flick of her small hand, a gilded invitation appeared in her palm, which she then waved at him.

Then, she lightly tapped her chin with her jade-like finger and said, "Oh, by the way, she also said you'll be going!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

"Do you want to go?" Xiao Bai asked after a moment.

"I want to! I don't even know what this banquet is like!" Zi Yan blinked her big eyes, looking very curious.

"Then go ahead. Ya Fei should be going later. Just go with her. Don't be naughty, but if anyone bothers you, don't hold back, just punch them back!"

Xiao Bai patted her little head and said gently.

"Aren't you going?" Zi Yan tilted her head and looked at Xiao Bai.

"I won't go!" Xiao Bai waved his hand, stood up, and walked into the courtyard.

"Then... I won't go either!" Zi Yan watched his departing figure, looked at the invitation in her hand, felt a little reluctant, but still put it away.

evening.

Looking at the backs of the two figures, one tall and one short, Xiao Bai shook his head.

Ziyan thought that the reason he wasn't going was because he had some grudge against the Nalan family and wanted to stand with him against the enemy.

Turning back into the house, Xiao Bai took out a handwritten booklet from his storage ring. Looking at the crooked handwriting, he was speechless but also a little moved.

This is the information Xiao Yan compiled about the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame. He spent several nights writing it down into a booklet for him.

Quietly flipping through the contents, he discovered a secret technique created by a peak Dou Sheng. Although it was only the first level, many of the ideas within might offer him some insights into other areas.

Xiao Xuan was the foremost figure of his era, a genius of unparalleled talent.

If it weren't for the lack of Origin Qi on the Dou Qi Continent, a thousand years later, he might have already shone brightly in the Great Thousand Worlds and become a regional overlord.

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai felt a little regretful that such a person had fallen like this!

Putting aside his thoughts, Xiao Bai intently looked at the contents of the booklet, sometimes frowning, sometimes delighted.

Looking inward at his dantian, he felt a little regretful. If all the lightning seeds had not gathered and merged into it, circulating in a balanced manner, he would have really wanted to try to achieve a lightning transformation.

When you are focused, you hardly notice the passage of time.

In the blink of an eye, the moon hung high in the sky.

At one moment, Xiao Bai suddenly looked up and gazed in a certain direction in the city.

"Tsk tsk. This old guy, I don't know what's wrong with him, suddenly releasing his aura in the middle of the night!" Hai Bodong's voice rang out not far behind Xiao Bai.

"Is this the Dou Huang from the royal family?" Xiao Bai didn't turn around; he already knew when Hai Bodong arrived.

"That's right! His name is Jia Xingtian, the old monster of the royal family!"

Hai Bodong walked over and sat down next to Xiao Bai, explaining with a smile:

"Judging from their appearance, they're heading to the Nalan family. I wonder if it's because of the Yunlan Sect, given the current state of the royal family and..."

Hai Bodong's words came to an abrupt halt. He couldn't help but blink, only to find that there was no one on the other side, just a slowly fading afterimage.
