Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 222 Keep swearing! If it weren't for Yunzhi, I'd beat you up, believe it or not?

(Sorry, the chapter was under review and I kept getting it rejected, which is why it's been delayed until now!)

Midday on the moon.

The noise in the hall subsided, and the group left.

Xiao Yan stepped forward, his expression complex, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He never expected that this guy would simply point a finger and seal away his greatest asset.

It's alright that it was just Brother Bai this time, but if others could do the same, it would be extremely terrifying to even think about!

"Don't worry! That spirit absorption was just a way you increased your success rate in subduing the strange fire when your strength was low!"

"Your technique is quite miraculous, allowing you to refine exotic flames for your own use. As your control over the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame deepens, the Spirit Absorption skill will become optional, and you won't face the situation where sealing the Spirit Absorption leaves you without any flames to use!"

As if knowing what he was worried about, Xiao Bai waved his hand to release the seal in his body and said calmly.

The Naling thing is a common tool used by almost everyone else on the continent to subdue strange flames.

Xiao Yan possesses the Burning Technique, and he has already completely refined the strange fire and stored it in his spiritual storage; it's just a habit he's used to!

Otherwise, a small Nascent Soul could withstand some lower-ranking Strange Flames.

The first few types, or those that are combined in large numbers, can instantly incinerate the space itself. As for absorbing spirits? No spirits work!

"Your brother Bai is right. That spirit-sealing technique isn't your weakness. Besides, how many people in the world have sealing techniques as monstrous as his? They can seal anything!"

The old doctor's voice suddenly rang out.

"Xiao Bai, where is my Soul Elixir?"

"You old man, you really don't stand on ceremony!" Xiao Bai shook his head and smiled, then reached out and touched a porcelain bottle as white as jade, which appeared in his hand.

"Hehe. Why should I be so polite with you?" The old apothecary put away the porcelain bottle with a straight face. He had provided the pill formula and the medicinal materials.

"You'll stay here tonight. I've set up a soul barrier around you to prevent any accidents!" Xiao Bai's smile faded, and his gaze turned suspicious.

"good!"

Xiao Yan was no longer worried. His expression gradually became serious. His teacher's silence earlier meant that the mysterious guy was nearby. He was not at ease if he went back to the Mittel family now.

"The day after tomorrow is the agreed-upon day. I'll take advantage of this time to consume the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill and break through to the Great Dou Master realm in one fell swoop!"

After saying that, Xiao Yan turned and left.

Watching the disappearing figure, Xiao Bai withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Cai Lin beside him with her beautiful, deep-set eyes, and chuckled softly:

"Are you secretly blaming me for agreeing to add Xing Tian?"

"Hmph! A mere Douhuang-level magical beast? I don't even consider it a threat!" Cai Lin tilted her head slightly, glanced at Xiao Bai out of the corner of her eye, and snorted softly.

Although I knew he might have some plans, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

This guy clearly knew she was going to clash with the Gama royal family, yet he still increased their fighting strength!

"Haha." Looking at Cai Lin beside him, who seemed aggrieved yet had a haughty expression, Xiao Bai felt extremely fond of her. He took her delicate hand and laughed, "Don't worry! I didn't mention any conditions!"

"Want to know what conditions I'm going to set?"

"What are the conditions?"

Cai Lin raised her eyebrows slightly, genuinely curious as to why this jerk had disregarded her feelings.

"Do you remember the map you drew?" Xiao Bai blinked, his eyes full of laughter.

"You wouldn't be thinking of using this to get Jia Xingtian to agree to cede territory, would you?" Cai Lin stared blankly at Xiao Bai, looking at him like he was an idiot.

"What kind of look is that?" Xiao Bai was immediately dissatisfied and reached out to pinch her smooth chin.

"Heh." Cai Lin gently slapped his pig's hand away and sneered, "There's no way Jia Xingtian would agree to that!"

"He had no choice!" Xiao Bai slowly withdrew his hand, his eyes gradually sharpening.

"I don't want to kill him. A peak Dou Huang with the potential to break through to Dou Zong is a considerable fighting force even in the vicinity of the Jia Ma Empire. Keeping him alive will be very useful!"

"If he doesn't know what's good for him, we don't necessarily need him. I've already given him a chance; if he makes the right choice, he'll go much further!"

"Are you hiding something from me?" Cai Lin frowned slightly. From his tone, she could tell that Xiao Bai had some kind of plan, and that she was part of it.

"No!" Meeting Cai Lin's suspicious gaze, Xiao Bai quickly shook his head. He couldn't tell her everything now.

His cultivation is about to advance to Dou Huang, and he will leave soon after the matter of Yunlan Sect is settled.

This departure may be to Zhongzhou to seek more opportunities, and he will rarely return in the future. Before leaving, he will take care of all matters.

These things involve him personally, the Xiao family, Cai Lin, and Yun Zhi!

He wanted to preserve as much of the high-end combat power as possible to deal with any unforeseen circumstances, since there were still people he cared about here.

"Alright, my darling queen, it's late, we should rest!"

Xiao Bai reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, then lifted her up in his arms and carried her toward the backyard.

A soft gasp escaped from Cai Lin's red lips, her suspicion instantly replaced by a blush, and a faint blush crept onto her alluring cheeks.

"Xiao Bai, you filthy scoundrel, release me right now!"

"Hehe. You've already scolded me, so if I don't do something, I'll be missing out!" Xiao Bai didn't stop walking, ignoring her struggles, he held her tightly with both arms, unmoving!

"You bastard!"

Light clouds drifted by, and the moon seemed to hide away as if shy.

Gently placing the delicate body in his arms on the bed, Xiao Bai gazed into those long, narrow, beautiful, watery eyes, the playful look within them irritating him. He seized those alluring red lips and kissed them fiercely.

"Um"

A seductive voice occasionally escaped from those intertwined lips, instantly igniting a heated atmosphere in the room.

Cai Lin's beautiful eyes were half-closed, so alluring they were almost dripping with moisture. She neither refused nor resisted; instead, she stretched out her slender arms and gently wrapped them around Xiao Bai's neck, cooperating with him.

"call"

After a long while, Xiao Bai slightly raised his head, let out a long breath, and looked at the alluring woman beneath him, her long black hair lazily spread across the bed. He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her rosy, enchanting face, and whispered:

"Fairy!"

"Do you like it?" Yingying's watery eyes gazed at the man on top of her, Cailin's voice alluring and gentle.

"Um!"

"Do you want it?"

"Um!"

"No!" The allure around her vanished abruptly, Cai Lin straightened her pretty face, and her delicate body disappeared onto the bed.

"Hmph! So what if you're a Dou Zong! I hate the power of space!" Xiao Bai's face darkened as he glared at a cold and beautiful woman sitting at a table not far away and shouted angrily.

"Ha, little fighting king!"

After straightening her disheveled clothes, Cai Lin glanced at the impotent and furious man on the bed, sat down at the table, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and quietly calmed her restless heart.

"!" Xiao Bai.

Never before have I felt such an urgent need to improve my strength.

I really want to shout, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river!"

A moment later, Xiao Bai turned over and stood up, then walked straight outside.

"Where are you going? Aren't you going to rest?"

"Rest my ass! Go cultivate!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's face darkened even more, and he stormed out the door.

Looking at the closed door, Cai Lin's lips curled up slightly, her hand supporting her chin, her eyebrows raised gently:

"She has quite a temper!"

He got up and went to the bedside. His gaze paused for a moment. Beside the pillow, a small jade bottle lay quietly.

She had seen this bottle during the day; it was the one Xiao Bai used to store the Soul Spirit Liquid.

She walked over and picked up the small jade bottle, feeling the lingering warmth on it. A gentle glint flashed in Cai Lin's beautiful eyes as she murmured to herself:

"Xiao Bai, I belong to you, and you belong to me!"

The night slowly passed.

As dawn broke, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared suddenly by the lake, as if in a flash.

"Xiao Bai, I want to sleep, please let me go! I'm still a child, if I don't sleep well I won't grow tall!"

Panting heavily, Zi Yan lay sprawled on the stone table beside her. Her once bright eyes were now dull and lifeless. She waved her small hand and said weakly.

That wretched bastard dragged her out last night to practice some kind of spatial power with him. They practiced all night long, and he almost exhausted her!

At first, she was overjoyed, thinking that this jerk had finally had a change of heart and would play along with her.

To her surprise, he went crazy, constantly asking her about her innate spatial talent. She had no idea about it; she usually just thought of it and used it.

Later, when there was really no other way, I kept helping him use that talent so he could observe and learn. Once he started using it, he couldn't stop, and he still does now.

This wasn't playing around, it was torture! It almost killed her!

Go!

Sitting cross-legged by the lake, Xiao Bai waved his hand dismissively.

"yeah!"

With a cheer, Zi Yan felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She stopped pretending to be weak and ran away in a flash.

He rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to this little girl, and gradually relaxed his mind and body. A faint spatial power slowly emerged around his body.

"Is this the space?" Xiao Bai murmured softly, his eyes thoughtful.

After observing Zi Yan's talent for a whole night, Xiao Bai finally touched the threshold of spatial power. The origin of the little golden dragon gave him a concrete perception of spatial power.

Zi Yan, on the other hand, allowed him to truly experience the vastness of space. The feeling of carefree traversing the void was truly captivating.

Only after truly understanding this talent did Xiao Bai realize its power. Take Zi Yan as an example; she was still a Dou Wang, yet she could briefly traverse the void without anyone teaching her, relying entirely on instinct.

Even though his physical body could distort space, and he had the support of the little golden dragon's essence and a sense of space, he still couldn't achieve that level.

"What a terrifying talent!"

The Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void seems to have the rules of space integrated into their bodies from birth. They don't need to comprehend or practice; as long as they grow step by step, they will become the best in the space.

They were born with an extra divine skill compared to others; no wonder this race is so powerful!

No one can say for sure how many powerful members the Ancient Dragon Clan has. Even Zhu Kun himself probably doesn't know. This clan loves to wander around, and some of them disappear for thousands of years without a trace.

Some even suspect that those who have disappeared without a trace may have already been transported to other dimensions!

Gathering his thoughts, Xiao Bai released his soul power along with the surrounding spatial fluctuations, quietly sensing this magical and profound power.

Darkness, deep, vast, and omnipresent!

As this feeling deepened, Xiao Bai gradually felt a desire to merge with it, as if he himself wanted to integrate into this vastness.

Not far away, Xiao Yan's arm, which was about to wave, froze, his mouth agape, his expression blank.

He could clearly see Xiao Bai sitting there cross-legged, but his soul perception told him that there was no one there. This strange feeling left him wondering what was going on.

"Teacher, what's going on with Brother Bai?"

After regaining his senses, Xiao Yan hurriedly asked in his mind.

"This kid is a monster! He's only a Dou Wang! And he's already reached this level of understanding of space?"

Yao Lao cursed out loud, his tone one of shock. Even a typical Dou Zong wouldn't be able to perceive space to this extent, would he?

"Spatial power?!" Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that something only a Dou Zong can use?"

"That's why I called him a prodigy. I've seen people comprehend spatial power at the Douhuang stage, but Douwang people are simply born with this talent, it's impossible for others!" Yao Lao sighed slightly and explained.

Throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent, why is it that only Dou Zong can sense the power of space and apply it in a rudimentary way? It is only when one reaches the Dou Zong level that one can break through space and begin to understand space.

Below the Dou Zong level, aside from a few exceptionally talented peak Dou Huangs, who can perceive such a high-level thing as space?

Moreover, this kid is self-taught and has actually combined soul power and spatial power to perceive the void, a privilege that only Dou Zun possesses.

The reason why a Dou Zun can open up spatial channels is precisely because of this method: a powerful soul combined with the use of spatial power.

"Then this guy... isn't he getting more and more terrifying!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sighed. If even his teacher, with his knowledge, could express such sentiments, then his previous idea of ​​beating him up would never have a chance to come true.

"Who's scarier!"

The faint voice behind him made Xiao Yan's expression change, his eyes narrowing. The black-robed figure by the lake was slowly dissipating. A smile instantly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly turned around, feeling guilty, and said:

"Haha, of course it's my dear Brother Bai!"

"Weren't you trying to break through? What are you doing here?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's guilty expression, Xiao Bai was too lazy to ask further. He already knew what this guy was thinking.

"Nalan Jie is here!" Upon hearing this name, Xiao Yan's smile gradually faded.

"Let's go! Let's deal with it all at once today!" Xiao Bai nodded and walked outside.

One hour later

"Sir!" Nalan Yanran called out to Xiao Bai, who was about to leave, and asked softly, "I'm going back to Yunlan Sect soon. You'll be going tomorrow, right?"

Xiao Bai glanced at the expressionless Xiao Yan and nodded slightly.

"Great! Tomorrow I'll introduce the teacher to my husband and show him what a true talent is. Otherwise, she keeps bringing up that scoundrel who only knows how to fight spirits!"

Nalan Yanran's eyes lit up with joy as she happily spoke.

"!" Xiao Bai.

If you keep swearing, I'd beat you up if it weren't for Yunzhi's sake, believe me?

"Hey! You'll be coming with Mr. Xiao tomorrow too, right?" Nalan Yanran's eyes shifted slightly as she looked at the figure next to Xiao Bai, her tone seemingly casual.

"Hehe. Of course I'll go!" Xiao Yan said with a forced smile.
