Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 279 How could such an evil secret technique exist in the world?

Standing in front of Little Fairy Doctor's room, Xiao Bai sensed that in addition to Little Fairy Doctor's aura, there was also a faintly familiar aura inside the room.

Before he could even wonder what was going on, a series of footsteps sounded inside the room, and the door creaked open.

The Fairy Doctor stood gracefully behind the door, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Bai.

"You broke through?"

Sensing the change in his aura, a hint of joy flashed in her gray-purple eyes.

Xiao Bai nodded, his gaze passing over her and looking into the room:

"A guest?"

"Let me introduce you, this is Han Yue, a classmate from Canaan Academy!"

After Little Fairy Doctor stepped aside to let Xiao Bai in, she closed the door and they went to the table together. She chuckled softly:

"Han Yue came to Tianya City yesterday. She was originally going home, but she happened to run into Zi Yan, who was visiting the city. When she heard that we were also going to Zhongzhou, she came to the inn together and suggested that we travel together."

As she spoke, Little Fairy Doctor winked at Xiao Bai:

"After all, Han Yue is extremely familiar with Zhongzhou. With her leading the way, we can save ourselves a lot of trouble."

Seeing Xian'er's playful actions, Xiao Bai found it amusing. This girl must have already extracted a lot of information about Zhongzhou from Han Yue.

Of the three, Xiao Bai had the most knowledge about Zhongzhou, but even that was only superficial.

I know the division of power and the names of some powerful figures, and besides that, there are a few places with unexpected opportunities.

As for the rest, he really couldn't give a clear answer.

Seeing Xiao Bai's gaze, Han Yue immediately stood up, nodded to Xiao Bai, and her cool voice carried a hint of restraint:

"Lord Xiao, I've long admired your name!"

With snow-white hair and dressed in white, she possessed a cool and ethereal aura, like a fairy from the moon palace.

A pair of icy blue eyes curiously scrutinized the black-robed youth who was famous at Canaan Academy.

The first student since the academy's founding, a sixth-grade genius alchemist, the mastermind behind Zixiao, the number one power in the inner academy, and the city lord of Zixiao City in the Black Corner Region.

These titles made Xiao Bai extremely famous in the academy.

"You're too kind. We're classmates, just call me Xiao Bai!"

Xiao Bai nodded slightly. Of course he knew Han Yue, but they had never crossed paths before, except for a few times he had seen her from afar in the inner courtyard.

After sitting down and pouring himself a cup of tea, Xiao Bai looked at Han Yue, who had not yet taken her seat, and found it amusing. He remembered that in the original story, this woman was poised and generous, not the kind of person who was coy and timid. How did she become like this in his eyes?

He pointed to the chair next to him and smiled:

"Sit down, no need to stand on ceremony, I'm not a cannibal!"

"Sit down. He may seem a bit cold on the surface, but he's actually very gentle!"

Little Fairy Doctor smiled slightly; she certainly knew why the people in the inner courtyard treated Xiao Bai this way.

In the battle within the inner courtyard that day, Xiao Bai defeated a Seven-Star Dou Zong, and with a wave of his hand, countless powerful figures from the Black Corner Region fled in terror.

That invincible demeanor is deeply etched in the hearts of every student at Canaan Academy, and is revered as an idol by many talented students in the inner academy.

Upon hearing this, Han Yue nodded slightly and sat back down in her chair.

She pursed her lips, her icy blue eyes lowered slightly, as if she was organizing her thoughts.

A moment later, she raised her eyes, her voice still cool, but much more natural than before:

"Xiao Xiaobai, my family is based in Tianbei City in the northern region of Zhongzhou. We are quite familiar with the terrain and power distribution in the northern region. If you don't mind, I can show you the way."

Xiao Bai picked up his teacup, took a sip, and smiled:

"That would be wonderful! We're new to Central Plains and definitely need a guide. Thank you!"

Seeing that he agreed, Han Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips:

"You're welcome. We're classmates, and I'm happy to help. By the way, I heard you're planning to go to the Tianmu Mountains this time?"

"Um!"

Setting down his teacup, Xiao Bai tapped the table lightly with his fingertips and pondered for a moment:

"Do you know about the Blood Pool of Tianshan in the Tianmu Mountains?"

He didn't know the exact time when the Blood Pool would open, but based on the original story, he deduced that it should be soon, since it would still be about three years before Xiao Yan arrived in Zhongzhou.

In other words, Xiao Yan participated in the energy tide three years later.

"The Blood Pool of Tianshan in the Tianmu Mountains is famous throughout the entire Northern Region of Zhongzhou; almost everyone knows about it!"

Han Yue sat up slightly and said slowly:

"Every three years, a tide of celestial energy will appear on a crater at the top of the mountain range. After the tide, the Tianshan Pool inside the crater will be filled with an extremely strange red liquid. Because it is as red as blood, it is called the Tianshan Blood Pool."

"It is said that the Blood Pool can help peak Douhuang experts break through to the Douzong level, but there are only ten spots available, so every three years it attracts countless people to flock there, filling the entire Tianmu Mountain Range."

As she spoke, Han Yue's icy blue eyes looked at Xiao Bai, a strange light flashing in them. She had longed for places like the Blood Pool before, but later she realized just how fierce the competition was there!

Each time it opens, in addition to forces like the Four Directions Pavilion and the Three Valleys, countless geniuses from the Northern Region participate in the competition for those ten spots.

It was like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge!

However, if Xiao Bai were to go, Han Yue was very confident that with his strength, securing a spot would be a piece of cake.

"If your goal, Xiao Bai, is the Blood Pool, I suggest you set off as soon as possible. According to past patterns, the exact time when the Blood Pool opens is not fixed. Sometimes it opens a few days earlier, and sometimes it opens later. The last time the Blood Pool opened was half a month after this time three years ago."

"Half a month?"

Xiao Bai paused in tapping the table, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing the change in Xiao Bai's expression, Little Fairy Doctor asked softly.

Thoughts flickered in Xiao Bai's eyes, and his voice deepened slightly:

"Time is tight. It takes about twenty days to travel from Tianya City to the space wormhole in the northern part of Zhongzhou. If the opening of the Blood Pool is not delayed this year, we will not be able to make it in time."

If we miss it, where can we find another place with such abundant natural energy?

Without a treasure land rich in energy, it is possible to break through, but the energy required to break through to the Dou Zong level is immense!

The Northwest Continent is energy-poor, and many Dou Zong cultivators have to spend time slowly absorbing the free-floating energy of heaven and earth in the void to accumulate their power little by little.

Even if the energy in Zhongzhou is relatively abundant, it will still take a long time.

And right now, what he lacks most is time.

This is also one of the reasons why those people from the ancient eight clans could cultivate so quickly, step by step; the energy environment of the small world was always much better than that of the outside world.

The higher one's cultivation level, the higher the environmental requirements become in order to break through quickly.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor was taken aback. She hadn't expected that it would take so long to pass through the spatial wormhole, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Actually, it's not that there's no way."

Seeing two pairs of expectant eyes looking over, Han Yue's icy blue eyes flickered slightly:

"But this method is useless to explain."

Tell me about it!

Seeing the troubled look on Han Yue's pretty face, Xiao Bai knew it wouldn't be easy, but he still held a glimmer of hope.

"Sigh, the twenty days you mentioned is the speed of a level four spaceship. If there were a higher-level spaceship, such as a level seven one, it could reach Zhongzhou within half a month. However, level seven spaceships are only possessed by some large forces with Dou Zun experts stationed there!"

With a slight sigh, Han Yue explained the origin of the story, and finally shrugged helplessly.

"A level seven spaceship?"

Xiao Bai was surprised. He knew that space ships were divided into nine levels, but he didn't really know the specific differences between them.

"That's right. It's said that a spaceship of this caliber requires a Dou Zun to build, so it's extremely rare to see it for sale. Even if it is, it's usually at auctions where it's fiercely contested by numerous Dou Zong families!"

Han Yue's words made the atmosphere in the room momentarily heavy.

Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the rim of the teacup, a trace of worry flashing in her gray-purple eyes.

"A spaceship that only a Dou Zun powerhouse could build."

Xiao Bai murmured softly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He raised his hand to look at the snow-white storage ring on his hand, remaining silent.

"Stop looking, let's go straight to the space wormhole!"

The moment the aged voice echoed in his mind, Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow and transmitted his voice in an annoyed tone:

"Why didn't you tell me you had this sooner? You made me worry for nothing!"

"Hey, you ungrateful wretch! If this girl hadn't told me, how would I have known what kind of ship you were on for those twenty days? Instead of explaining yourself, you're blaming me!"

Yao Tianhu rolled his eyes inside the ring, then chuckled smugly:

"However, when I traveled back in the day, I collected an eighth-level spaceship called the 'Flowing Cloud Shuttle,' which is even faster than those seventh-level ones!"

A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes, but at the same time, a little doubt remained in his heart.

"A Dou Zun realm cultivator can open their own passages, so why are you collecting this?"

"I'm now certain you really haven't had a teacher. Do you really think it's so easy for a Dou Zun to create space? Just throw a punch in the void and go wherever you want?"

Yao Tianhuo's voice echoed in Xiao Bai's mind, carrying a hint of disdain:

"The stability of a spatial channel is closely related to distance. Short distances are naturally easy to manage, but for long-distance teleportation channels across continents, even a Dou Zun needs to rely on spatial nodes and constantly try and fail to succeed. Wouldn't it be better to just use a ready-made method if you have that kind of energy?"

"Ahem. Alright, I'm tired. You may leave now!"

Xiao Bai coughed lightly a few times, his face unusually flushed. He really didn't know that there were such things involved in the long spatial passage.

"Ha ha."

Having seen this kid's calm and collected demeanor so many times, seeing him blush for the first time made Yao Tianhuo feel refreshed, and he burst into laughter inside the ring.

Xiao Bai rolled his eyes speechlessly, then resolved in his heart that after arriving in Zhongzhou, he would definitely read more books in his spare time and would never make such a common-sense joke again.

Otherwise, if you reach a higher level later on, it will definitely become a dark history.

"Xiao Bai, don't worry, look on the bright side. Maybe the Blood Pool event will be postponed this year!"

Seeing Xiao Bai slightly lost in thought, his expression shifting, a hint of worry flashed in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes. She gently waved her jade hand in front of his eyes and softly advised:

"Even if we miss it, I'll stay with you and look elsewhere. Zhongzhou is so vast, there must be a suitable place for a breakthrough!"

Upon hearing this, a warm glint flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes. He grasped her soft, slightly cool hand and chuckled softly:

"I already have a solution to this, don't worry!"

"Really?"

Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face lit up with surprise, her little mouth slightly open; she looked even happier than Xiao Bai.

Meeting the curious gazes of the two women in the room, Xiao Bai nodded, squeezed the soft little hand in his palm, and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips, without explaining.

Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly withdrew her jade hand. Seeing Han Yue's eyes darting away and a faint blush rising on her cheeks, she clearly noticed their little interaction. Her pretty face flushed slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with embarrassment and annoyance. She rolled her eyes at him and quickly got up.

"I'll go and call Ziyan."

"No need, she's currently crouching next to the wormhole, we can just go straight there!"

After admiring the beautiful woman's shy charm for a moment, Xiao Bai smiled, waved his hand, and got up to walk directly towards the door.

About half an hour later, the three of them crossed a large part of Tianya City and arrived at a huge Black Stone Square.

"So that's a wormhole?"

Xiao Bai and Little Fairy Doctor glanced over the crowd and looked at a towering stone platform in the center of the square, both of them with a hint of shock in their eyes.

On the high platform stood a colossal, pitch-black vortex, over ten zhang in diameter, resembling a giant beast opening its blood-red maw, as if about to devour everything.

The vortex slowly rotated, and an extremely powerful spatial force permeated the area around it, bringing with it eerie howling sounds that shook the soul.

"What's so surprising!"

Seeing Xiao Bai's ignorant look, Yao Tianhuo's voice rang out with a hint of sarcasm:

"This thing looks like it's been neglected and is almost broken. How can a spatial wormhole that's maintained by a Dou Zun allow spatial power to run rampant like this?"

"!" Xiao Bai.

Is this old guy addicted to criticizing him?

"Elder Yao, I saw a secret technique in an ancient book that can turn men into women. Why don't we try it when we're refining the bodies?"

Upon hearing Xiao Bailiang's chilling voice, Yaotian Fire, which had been smug just moments before, immediately went out of control. The thought of that scene sent shivers down his spine.

This is even harder to accept than giving him a female body directly; just thinking about it makes him want to vomit.

How could such an evil secret technique exist in the world?

"Ahem. I suddenly remembered that the 'Flowing Cloud Shuttle' requires a special technique to activate, and I'll have to teach you how to do it properly later."

After coughing twice, Yao Tianhuo's tone instantly became serious, as if he hadn't been the one showing off just now.

Xiao Bai sneered inwardly, "Old man, I don't believe I can't deal with you!"

"Xiao Bai, you've finally emerged from seclusion!"

Zi Yan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, leaping up and clinging to him like a koala, holding a half-eaten candied hawthorn skewer in her hand. Her big eyes sparkled with anticipation as she asked:

"Should we leave now?"

"Um."

Watching Zi Yan secretly wiping the icing off her lips on his shoulder, Xiao Bai was speechless and gently flicked her head.

"hey-hey."

Upon being discovered, Zi Yan covered her forehead and jumped off him, quickly devouring the remaining candied hawthorns. Grabbing Xiao Bai's sleeve, she hurried towards the center of the square.

"I heard from those people that you have to drive a boat inside, it sounds like so much fun, remember to let me come later!"

This scene left Han Yue, who was standing behind her, completely stunned.

One is a well-known brute in the inner court, and the other is the most prestigious person in the inner court. I never expected that the two of them would get along so interestingly.

The four arrived at the spatial wormhole, where Luo Cheng, seemingly having received word, was already waiting.

"Young master, is there anything I can do for you?"

"You don't need to do anything; they'll come to you when they need you!"

After saying that, Xiao Bai glanced at Luo Cheng, who seemed to be letting out a slight sigh of relief, but ignored him and led the three women into the spatial wormhole.

Watching the four figures disappear, Luo Cheng sensed the faint glow emanating from the mark in his sea of ​​consciousness. A bitter expression appeared on his aged face. He shook his head and sighed:

"Alas, what an unexpected disaster, a misfortune for our family!"
