Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 510 You'd better be more careful in the future!

Inside the pavilion, as Xiao Bai finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Xun'er's beautiful eyes darted back and forth between Xiao Bai and Gu Yuan, her hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, her heart filled with trepidation.

Gu Yuan's gaze fell on the seven pieces of ancient jade on the table, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He naturally wanted the Emperor-grade embryonic pill.

but----

Gu Yuan's gaze swept over Xiao Bai, then over Zhu Kun and Xiao Xuan, and finally turned into a heavy sigh.

He waved his hand, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "You brought the ancient jade back, so it's up to you how you deal with it."

Gu Yuan was now fully aware of the Soul Emperor's scheme.

He also knew that Xiao Xuan and Zhu Kun had both contributed greatly to the fact that these seven ancient jade pieces were still here.

Xiao Xuan, in particular, did not hesitate to burn his remnant soul in order to block the Soul Emperor and protect the ancient jade.

If Gu Yuan were to take these seven pieces of ancient jade, Zhu Kun and Xiao Xuan would definitely object.

But if the ancient jade is in Xiao Bai's hands—

This is the result that everyone can accept.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai ignored the ancient jade on the table.

He tapped the stone table lightly with his fingertips, producing a crisp sound, then looked at Zhu Kun and suddenly smiled, "Uncle Zhu, actually—before, you wanted the Soul Emperor to open the Dou Di Cave, right?"

Although Xiao Bai's words sounded like a question, they were spoken with an affirmative tone.

The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

Everyone was stunned.

All eyes turned to Zhu Kun.

Zhu Kun looked up at Xiao Bai in disbelief, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

He had never told anyone about this idea.

Xiao Bai—how did he know?

After a long pause, Zhu Kun nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Not bad."

"What?!"

Zi Yan opened her mouth wide, her purple-gold eyes scanning her father up and down as if she didn't recognize him.

"Dad, you—"

She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan were also unsettled, their eyes fixed on Zhu Kun, filled with doubt.

Why?

Why did Zhu Kun make Hun Tiandi open the Dou Di Cave?

Did he not know that once the Soul Emperor obtained the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, he would likely step into the Emperor Realm and become a disaster for the entire continent?

Facing the puzzled, confused, and even questioning gazes of the crowd, Zhu Kun slowly spoke: "I know more about the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, or rather, the Tuoshe Cave, than any of you."

His voice was calm, yet carried an indescribable sense of vicissitude: "So I know—the Emperor-grade embryonic pill is not the most precious thing in the cave."

"Not the most precious thing —"

Gu Yuan repeated the sentence, his hand trembling slightly.

He stared intently at Zhu Kun and pressed, "Could you explain more clearly?"

Imperial-grade embryonic pill.

That's a treasure that has a very high probability of enabling a peak nine-star Dou Sheng expert to break through to the Emperor Realm!

What could be more precious than this?

At this moment, Xiao Bai calmly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly said, "Uncle Zhu, are you trying to say—about the Emperor's Origin?"

"The Origin of the Emperor?!"

The moment those four words were uttered, everyone was startled.

Although I don't know exactly what this thing is, just from the name I know it must be related to the Dou Di!

Everyone's ears perked up.

"Huh?! You know—?"

Zhu Kun froze, staring at Xiao Bai as if he were a monster, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Just who is this guy?

It's as if this continent holds no secrets for him at all!

The Origin of the Emperor —

This is the biggest secret he has buried deep in his heart!

How could Xiao Bai know?!

Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan, standing to the side, also stared intently at Xiao Bai, their eyes filled with shock, doubt, and an indescribable emotion.

Xun'er, Cai Lin, and the other girls, who were sitting on the edge of the pavilion behind Xiao Bai, also looked at Xiao Bai's back in disbelief.

Although this man, who was closest to them, had always acted in a magical way, he was now shrouded in mystery in their eyes.

Xiao Bai remained calm and said frankly, "I guess Uncle Zhu's idea is that there are two things in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave that could potentially become emperors."

"Even if the Soul Emperor obtains the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, he still retains the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe."

"Moreover, compared to that, the original inheritance is even better."

His voice was calm, as if he were talking about something trivial.

But to everyone's ears, these words were like a thunderclap!

Two things?!

The Emperor-grade embryonic pill—it's enough to drive the entire continent mad.

Now Xiao Bai actually says there's something else—even better than a first-grade Emperor-level pill?!

Zhu Kun looked at Xiao Bai with deep eyes, remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Not bad."

"When the Soul Emperor first came to me, I didn't have this idea, but when I saw Yan'er fall into the Soul Emperor's hands, this thought did indeed arise in my mind."

His voice carried a hint of shame and helplessness: "At that time, I thought, since the Soul Emperor wanted the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, I might as well let him open the cave, and I could also use this opportunity to escape."

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't get the Emperor Pill later. Once he gets the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, he will immediately refine it and break through to the Emperor Realm."

"Refining a nascent Emperor-grade pill takes time."

"During that time, I could have used his opening of the cave to search for the origin of the emperor."

"Once I find the Emperor's Origin, I'll turn the tables on him—"

Zhu Kun paused, then smiled wryly, "It was indeed a risky plan, but at the time—I had no other choice."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a mix of emotions.

Indeed, if the Soul Emperor had actually obtained the ancient jade and opened the cave, Zhu Kun's plan might not have been without a chance of success.

After all, he knew that cave better than anyone else.

"But----"

Zhu Kun raised his head and looked at Xiao Bai, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Since you know the situation inside the cave and that there are two opportunities, why have you been trying to stop the cave from opening?"

This was also a question that both Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan had in mind.

Only today did they learn that such a shocking secret existed within the Tuoshe Cave.

Two opportunities to become emperors —

If this news gets out, the entire continent will probably go crazy!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai shook his head helplessly.

He knew that the allure of becoming a Dou Di was simply too great.

Some things are better explained in advance.

"Uncle Zhu, you should know—the identity of Emperor Tuoshe, right?"

Xiao Bai looked at Zhu Kun and asked slowly.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun nodded: "If we're talking about who understands Tuoshe the most right now, it should be me—"

He paused, then added with a wry smile, "Of course, except for you, kid."

To this day, he still can't understand how Xiao Bai, who is so young, knows so many secrets that seem to be no less than those of him, an old man who has lived for tens of thousands of years!

Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan, who were standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

Xiao Bai has far too many secrets.

"You two, stop changing the subject and keep talking!"

Gu Yuan couldn't help but urge him on, his voice tinged with urgency.

He desperately wanted to know the answer.

At his level, very few things can stir his emotions.

But the secrets of the Dou Di are an exception!

Looking across the entire continent, only the cave of the ancient emperor Tuoshe is the most likely place for them to understand that realm!

Now that Xiao Bai had seen through his thoughts, Zhu Kun relaxed and slowly began to speak: "Do you know what the number one strange fire on the Strange Fire Ranking is?"

This question surprised everyone.

Everyone knows about the ranking of different types of flames.

Second place goes to the Void Devouring Flame, and third place to the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

But what is number one?

It seems like I've never heard of it before?

After thinking for a moment, everyone realized they had no recollection of the First Strange Flame and shook their heads in unison.

At this moment, Xiao Bai spoke.

His voice was calm, yet it resounded like thunder in everyone's ears: "The ranking of strange flames lists a total of twenty-three strange flames, but there are actually only twenty-two types."

"Because the last twenty-two different flames merged into one—that is the first different flame."

Xiao Bai paused, then said, word by word, "It is called—Emperor Flame."

"Imperial Flame?!"

As everyone was still in shock, a gasp rang out from outside the pavilion.

Everyone turned to look and saw a young man in black standing outside the pavilion, staring inside with a shocked expression.

No one in the pavilion showed any surprise.

With their cultivation levels, they had sensed Xiao Yan's approach long ago.

They just didn't say it out loud.

Xiao Bai glanced at Xiao Yan, who was walking over with a sheepish grin, but ignored him.

Xiao Yan didn't care and stood silently in front of the pavilion, processing the shocking news.

The First Strange Flame—was actually formed by fusing other strange flames?

How similar this is to his Burning Technique cultivation!

Could it be that the ultimate goal of the Burning Technique is to fuse all the different flames and transform them into the Emperor Flame?!

"Xiao Bai, you mean—the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, the one ranked first... Emperor Yan?!"

Gu Yuan's expression was incredibly complex at this moment, and his voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was greatly shocked by the news.

"good."

Xiao Bai nodded and continued, "The true form of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is Emperor Flame."

These words were like a bombshell, exploding in everyone's minds.

In the silent pavilion, disbelief filled everyone's eyes.

No one expected that Tuoshegudi was neither human nor magical beast, but rather an emperor formed from a strange flame!

No wonder Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was the last Dou Di on the continent to date, yet none of his bloodlines or races survived to the next generation.

"Emperor Flame—the true form of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe is actually Emperor Flame—"

Gu Yuan murmured repeatedly, his deep eyes flashing with thoughts and sudden realizations.

Xiao Xuan unconsciously rubbed the rim of the teacup with his fingers, clearly digesting this astonishing information.

Xun'er, Cai Lin, and the other girls stared wide-eyed, their red lips slightly parted, completely stunned by this revolutionary secret.

Xiao Yan's breathing quickened, his eyes fixed on Xiao Bai. He hadn't expected to hear such explosive news while visiting Brother Bai.

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind like lightning: Burning Technique, Strange Fire, Emperor Flame —

When these pieces of information were put together, it made him feel as if he had touched the edge of some earth-shattering truth!

Xiao Bai's gaze swept over everyone, and he slowly said, "The reason I'm wary of the Soul Clan opening their cave isn't really because I'm wary of the Soul Emperor, but rather—"

"Void swallows flames."

"Void Devouring Flame?!"

Everyone was surprised again.

They knew that Void Devouring Flame had suffered a great loss at Xiao Bai's hands.

How could it make Xiao Bai so wary?

"The Void Devouring Flame, like Emperor Dan, was once a member of the Tuoshe Cave."

Xiao Bai's voice was calm, yet it made everyone's hearts leap into their throats: "But then—it escaped from there."

"More importantly—"

Xiao Bai paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "It not only possesses the secret technique of the 'Transforming Pill Ring' that subdues the Emperor Pill, but the statue containing the Emperor's Origin is very likely—and only it and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame can open it."

The atmosphere in the pavilion froze instantly upon hearing these words.

Everyone was stunned.

turn out to be----

So there were so many twists and turns in this whole thing!

No wonder Xiao Bai remained unmoved even though he knew there were two opportunities within the cave!

It wasn't that he didn't want it, but rather—he had already seen through it all!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun couldn't help but grimac, his face showing a "toothache" expression.

He had originally planned to have the Soul Emperor take the Emperor Pill while he secretly went to obtain the even more precious Emperor's Origin.

But now, after hearing what Xiao Bai said, he suddenly felt that his plan was ridiculously naive.

"That old bastard, Tosha—"

Zhu Kun cursed under his breath, his tone filled with resentment, "It really lives up to its reputation as a spirit of a different kind of fire, so cunning! Leaving so many backup plans for the Void Devouring Flame, which is also a different kind of fire, could it be Tuoshe's favorite son?"

Thinking that he had been suppressed in front of the cave for tens of thousands of years, working hard to "guard the gate" but not getting any benefits, Zhu Kun's resentment rose sharply.

Zi Yan looked at her father's dark face and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.

"Old man, that old bastard Tuoshe suppressed you when he was around, but now that he's gone, he almost managed to pull a fast one on you. You'd better be more careful in the future!"

,.! 」Candle Kun.

"Xiao Bai, you just said... that the statue where the Emperor's Origin is located can be opened not only by the Void Devouring Flame, but also by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame?"

After calming his shocked emotions, Xiao Xuan's eyes regained their composure. Thinking of what Xiao Bai had just said, he couldn't help but ask softly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai tilted his head slightly, looked at Xiao Yan leaning against a pillar in the pavilion, nodded gently, and smiled, "That's right. The Pure Lotus Demon Flame, like the Void Devouring Flame, was once a member of the Dou Di's cave. It's highly likely that it can also open the statue and obtain the original inheritance inside!"

Seeing Xiao Bai's strange gaze fixed on him, Xiao Yan scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, he realized that Brother Bai had already looked away.

Mentioning the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, Xiao Bai suddenly remembered that the Xiao family still had a Dou Sheng powerhouse in existence. He smiled slightly and said, "I just remembered something. I wonder if you, senior, know Xiao Chen?"

"Xiao Chen?!"

Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan were both stunned, and the image of the figure carrying a huge blood axe from a thousand years ago immediately appeared in their minds.

Xiao Xuan quickly regained his senses, his face immediately lighting up with excitement. He said in a trembling voice, "He's my cousin, Xiao Bai. You know anything about him?"

Xiao Bai nodded, glancing northwest, and said softly, "He should be in the Demon Flame Space right now, but he's not in good shape!"

"A space filled with demonic flames?!"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of realization crossed Xiao Xuan's eyes, followed by overjoyed thought, "Hahaha...that's it...that's it...according to the timeline, not long after he left the Xiao Realm was the time when the demonic fire was to appear...I didn't expect that he would escape this calamity because of it, very good, very good..."
