Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 308 The motivational quote has taken effect.

(PS: In the previous article, some readers mentioned that Binghe's cultivation level was at the peak of the four-star level. After checking the original work, I found that this was indeed the case. I have corrected this. Thank you for pointing it out, and I apologize to all readers!)

"Xiao Bai, this is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

Liu Qing looked at the small jade bottle handed to him and hurriedly waved his hand to decline.

"You, Liu Qing, are usually quite generous, so why are you being so indecisive now? When you gave me the Resurrection Fruit, I didn't say a single word of objection!"

Xiao Bai shoved the jade bottle into his arms and turned to wave.

"I'm leaving now, until we meet again!"

Seeing this, Huoyun quickly stepped forward and said politely:

"Master Xiao Bai, the Valley Master is waiting for you on the flying shuttle!"

Although Xiao Bai was young, he dared not treat him as a junior.

Putting aside the fact that he is now a guest of the Valley Master, just in terms of cultivation level, Tian Leizi of Fenglei Pavilion and Tian She of Binghe Valley are both renowned figures in their respective regions.

One was an eight-star Dou Zong, and the other was a peak Dou Zong; their bodies are still warm!

"Thank you for your trouble!" Xiao Bai nodded, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and led Little Fairy Doctor and Yaotianhuo onto the floating flying boat.

Huo Yun nodded to the Liu family members, then turned and boarded the flying boat.

He came here to repair the teleportation wormhole, but since his own valley master had just casually clicked twice and the wormhole was restored, there was naturally no need for him to stay.

Looking at the small bottle in his arms and then at Xiao Bai walking away, Liu Qing opened his mouth, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Although I know he is an alchemist and has no shortage of pills, what seventh-grade alchemist would be so extravagant as to casually give away a Breakthrough Pill comparable to a seventh-grade pill?

Don't assume that because this place is close to the Pill Domain, there's no shortage of pills.

As a holy land for alchemists, the Pill Tower has no shortage of alchemists, but it can't keep up with the fact that people from all over the Central Continent naturally think of this place when they need high-level pills. Every day, people come to the Pill Tower in an endless stream to ask for pills.

Especially for pills used for breakthroughs, the demand is astonishing. Even if their family wanted to obtain a Breakthrough Pill, they would have to pay a huge price.

"Sigh, Qing'er, put it away. Don't let your friend's kindness go to waste. Relationships need to be reciprocated to prevent them from breaking down."

Liu Cang withdrew his gaze from the black-robed figure in front of him and landed on Liu Qing beside him. He stroked his beard with a look of satisfaction.

It's a great opportunity for the entire Liu family that their grandson has such a powerful classmate, and they have a good relationship with him.

He glanced at an old face as black as the bottom of a pot not far away. The Cheng family and the Liu family were the two major families of Tianhuang City, both of which were affiliated with Burning Flame Valley.

Living in the same city and with similar strength, they naturally disliked each other. Although they dared not go all out, open and covert struggles were inevitable.

He felt extremely pleased to be able to use Xiao Bai's influence to put the old man of the Cheng family in his place.

The setting sun painted half the sky orange-red, and the originally white clouds revealed a golden-red glow, like a burning sea of ​​fire.

A luxurious airship sped through the sea of ​​fire, stirring up layers of silent air currents.

Xiao Bai stood at the bow of the ship, his hands behind his back, his eyes reflecting a red light that seemed to flicker like flames.

"Young friend, are you still troubled by what happened before?"

An elderly man with red hair and dressed in simple robes appeared silently beside Xiao Bai.

"It's not exactly a worry!"

Withdrawing his gaze from the sky, Xiao Bai shook his head slightly; he was simply reflecting on some of his recent actions.

Since arriving in Zhongzhou, he has found that he seems to have too many concerns, which makes him act less freely than when he was in the Northwest Continent.

My own mindset seems to have undergone a change that I haven't even noticed, like that feeling of helplessness when I feel like I've lost control of the situation.

He had already figured out when this feeling arose after reflecting on it.

It was during the Tianmu Mountains that the Heavenly Serpent first summoned the Ice River.

In the original story, these people appeared one by one as Xiao Yan's cultivation level increased.

Who else would summon their boss like this the moment they arrive?

This is like killing a Soul Hall protector and then Soul Extinction jumping out to ask him if he's surprised or not. How can this be played?

He knew some of the specific backgrounds of these forces in Zhongzhou, but not all of them.

Take Ice River Valley for example. Is the strongest force in one of the three valleys really just Ice River?

Could there be something immortal, stronger than the glacier?

As is widely known, there are nine forces in Zhongzhou: one palace, one tower, two sects, three valleys, and four pavilions. The palace and tower will not be discussed further.

Within the two sects, the Flower Sect has two Half-Saints, and the Heavenly Darkness Sect also has a Half-Saint.

Of the three valleys that follow, the Sound Valley is mysterious, and the Burning Flame Valley has a Battle Saint, which can be explained by the fact that their ancestors were once very wealthy.

However, it's a bit unreasonable that Ice River Valley, one of the three valleys, only has Ice River, a peak four-star Dou Zun, as its strongest combat force.

It should be noted that the Thunder Venerable of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion has the strength of a three-star peak, and even if the Starfall Pavilion excludes the Medicine Elder, it still has the Wind Venerable, a four-star Dou Zun, in charge.

If Glacier Valley is really like that, then it's really quite disappointing that it's one of the three valleys!

He only has one trump card left to deal with veteran Dou Zun. Once he reveals it, what will happen if an even stronger opponent suddenly appears?

These thoughts made his behavior seem rather contradictory and hesitant.

Sometimes I find Ice Valley annoying, and I want to fight it and wipe it out, but other times I want to avoid it and wait until I'm stronger.

"Young friend. Young friend?"

A call interrupted Xiao Bai's thoughts. He turned his head and smiled apologetically:

"My apologies, Valley Master Tang, I was just lost in thought!"

"Haha, no problem, no problem. May I ask how old you are this year, young friend?" Tang Zhen laughed and asked with great curiosity, looking at his youthful face.

Xiao Bai was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he spoke slowly in a strangely complex tone:

"I'm twenty-two this year!"

Counting the time, he has been in this world for almost eighteen years. The events of his previous life seem to be a little hazy and unfamiliar for a moment.

"So young!"

Tang Zhen sighed softly, but his heart was not as calm as his tone suggested; it was turbulent with emotions.

A 22-year-old Dou Zong powerhouse who can kill a peak Dou Zong is beyond being described as a genius anywhere; he's practically a monster!

Moreover, he not only possesses exceptional talent in cultivation, but is also a seventh-grade alchemist, making him a prodigy among prodigies.

No wonder he seemed to be holding a grudge about what happened before. These geniuses have unlimited potential, and they are all arrogant.

If an ordinary person could escape unscathed from the hands of the two powerful leaders, they would probably be extremely proud, but Xiao Bai seemed to give him a feeling of frustration and discomfort.

If Xiao Bai knew what he was thinking, he would probably roll his eyes.

Which eye saw that he was feeling aggrieved and uncomfortable?

"Temporary honor or disgrace means nothing. You are still young. The Dou Zun realm may be a dream for others, but for you, it is a reality. It just takes some time. Once your cultivation is strong enough, you can naturally smooth over right and wrong with your own hands!"

Tang Zhen patted Xiao Bai on the shoulder and then turned and left.

Xiao Bai stared blankly at his back for a moment, then felt both amused and exasperated. Come to think of it, this was the first time he and Tang Zhen had met.

How can one portray the image of a senior figure who cares for and highly regards a junior?

Turning to look at the golden-red sea of ​​clouds, Xiao Bai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, as if to throw away all the shackles in his heart.

After a long pause, a slight smile curved his lips, and he murmured in a voice only he could hear:

"Spending too much time in the Northwest Continent makes one feel like they can control everything, but little do they know that knowing the plot doesn't mean life is foolproof, nor does it mean they should be timid and overly cautious; that will only lead to losing themselves!"

After speaking, Xiao Bai felt his mind become instantly clear, and he had an urge to roar to the sky. He moved with his will, and a roar resounded through the clouds, like thunder and the cry of a dragon.

Piercing through clouds and splitting rocks, it meanders amidst the fiery glow of the sky.

The group from Burning Flame Valley on the deck of the flying boat all turned their heads to look, and even Tang Zhen inside the cabin couldn't help but turn around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Is the motivational talk working?

Little Fairy Doctor stepped out of the cabin, her black hair billowing in the wind, her skirt fluttering. Gazing at the tall, upright figure at the bow of the ship, a hint of joy flickered in her purple eyes.

She could sense Xiao Bai's joyful mood. Although she didn't know what had happened, she was happy as long as he was happy.

Yao Tianhuo appeared beside her at some point, arms crossed, clicking his tongue in amazement: "This kid, it seems his cultivation is about to break through again?"

How long has it been since he was promoted? It feels like breakthroughs are as easy as eating and drinking. It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others!

Burning Flame Valley.

Located in the southwest of the Central Region, in the Scorching Fire Mountains.

This mountain range is entirely composed of a group of fiery volcanoes, and as far as the eye can see, it is a uniform crimson color.

Thick white mist continues to rise from some of the peaks, and occasionally, magma radiating a fiery red glow overflows from between the mountains.

"What a wonderful place! Cultivating fire-attribute techniques here is absolutely perfect, making it twice as effective with half the effort. I've wanted to come and see it for years, but I never had the chance!"

Gazing at the endless volcanoes in the distance, Yaotianhuo took a deep breath, countless violent fire-attribute energies rushing into his lungs, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes, looking quite content.

"Haha. As long as Brother Tianhuo doesn't mind, you're welcome to come anytime. Burning Flame Valley always welcomes you!"

Upon hearing Yao Tianhuo's praise, the members of Burning Flame Valley all smiled. Tang Zhen even laughed loudly. He knew that Yao Tianhuo was not from this era, so he did not consider cultivation level when making the decision and happily extended an invitation.

The Blazing Fire Mountain Range enjoys considerable fame throughout the Central Continent, partly due to the presence of the Burning Flame Valley, but its geographical location is also a key factor.

The environment here is harsh and not particularly pleasing to the eye, but the rich fire element makes some people who cultivate fire-attribute techniques risk coming here to cultivate, even knowing the danger.

"Hehe, Brother Tang, you're too kind. I'll definitely come often when I have the chance!" Yao Tianhuo replied with a smile.

This era is basically a time of change for him, so it's good to make more friends!

As they ventured deeper, the continuous mountain ranges swept past beneath their feet. Xiao Bai watched as the lush greenery gradually disappeared, replaced by endless red earth. Not to mention trees, even grass was hard to find.

At this moment, he finally realized why Yao Tianhuo's praise had won the favor of the people in Burning Flame Valley.

The environment here is truly appalling!

Even high in the sky, the scorching heat shot straight up and hit me in the face, along with the lingering smell of sulfur.

Besides Huo Xiu, who would be willing to come to this place?

A moment later, the airship passed through a mountaintop platform and suddenly trembled slightly. Then, after a strange fluctuation, the space in front of it began to ripple slowly.

"What a powerful spatial barrier! It's probably strong enough to withstand attacks from high-level Dou Zun. As expected of Burning Flame Valley, its foundation is truly far beyond that of ordinary forces!"

Yao Tianhu stroked his beard, his eyes showing surprise, and clicked his tongue in admiration.

Upon hearing this, the members of Burning Flame Valley once again revealed their reserved smiles.

"!" Xiao Bai.

Is this old guy planning to retire in Burning Flame Valley?

The spaceship passed through the spatial barrier, and the scene before them suddenly changed.

"A world of its own."

The sudden change felt like being in two different worlds, causing Little Fairy Doctor to widen her purple eyes slightly in surprise.

The once barren, crimson mountains have vanished, replaced by a magnificent and awe-inspiring landscape.

Nestled among the mountains, rows of crimson palaces stand in a harmonious arrangement, with fiery red energy flowing between them like clouds and mist, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.

At the very center, a towering peak pierces the clouds, its summit enveloped in blazing flames, and a magnificent ancient palace can be vaguely seen sitting atop it.

"Hehe. Little Fairy Doctor, this can hardly be considered a world of its own. Only a Dou Sheng-level expert could accomplish such a feat. However, this space has been painstakingly created by generations of our Burning Flame Valley ancestors, so it can be considered a paradise within this volcanic world!"

Tang Huo'er covered her mouth and smiled, then whispered an explanation beside her.

Tang Zhen, standing to the side, glanced at him and nodded with a smile.

A hint of pride flickered between Huo Yun and Huo Lie's brows. Being able to build such a massive project in this volcanic world was indeed something they were proud of.

Taking in the expressions of the others, Xiao Bai chuckled to himself.

He had never seen the world created by the Dou Sheng and did not understand it, but he knew about the Burning Flame Valley.

How could the Burning Flame Valley be a pirated version of an ancestor with the same cultivation level as Xiao Xuan?

Although not as powerful as the major ancient imperial clans, they are definitely among the top-tier existences below the imperial clans.

It seems that apart from Tang Zhen, the others in Burning Flame Valley are no longer aware of their former glory.

Shaking his head, as he surveyed the space, he suddenly realized something was missing.

Oh, right, the Radiant Fire!

The old man kept praising her, but why did he suddenly fall silent when it came time to actually praise her?

Looking to the side, I saw that he was also examining the space, his eyes filled with doubt and surprise. He had almost plucked out a few hairs from his beard, but his mouth was tightly shut.

Well, it seems you're quite knowledgeable; you know it's not a good time to praise someone.

Going along with Tang Huo'er would make him seem ignorant and invite contempt, but telling the truth, judging from Tang Zhen's expression, also seemed inappropriate.

"Welcome, Valley Master!"

The flying boat landed in front of a grand hall, and dozens of voices rang out in unison.

These figures, dressed in red robes, were not very old, but their auras were deep and not superficial, indicating that they had a solid foundation.

"Young friend Xiao Bai, young lady Little Fairy Doctor, brother Tianhuo, please follow me!"

Tang Zhen waved to the disciples who were bowing around him, dismissing them to their respective duties, and then turned to the three of them with a smile.

The group jumped off the flying boat and followed Tang Zhen toward the fiery red hall.

Several figures were already waiting in the hall. The moment Xiao Bai stepped into the hall, he felt a gaze piercing towards him. He looked up and was startled:

What are you doing here?
