Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 560 Transformation

At the summit of Baichao Mountain, the fierce wind gradually subsided.

The edge of the massive dragon claw pit still retained faint golden-black lightning arcs, which occasionally crackled and popped, startling everyone around and preventing them from approaching.

Ling Qingzhu approached Liu Wei, who was meditating with her eyes closed. Looking at the shocking bruise on her senior sister's neck, her beautiful eyes were filled with concern.

"Senior sister, are you alright?"

Liu Wei slowly opened her eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

A faint trace of vitality lingered around her body; it was the restorative power unique to experts at the Life Profound Realm.

She shook her head slightly, her voice still somewhat weak: "My primordial spirit wasn't damaged. After a few days of recuperation, the injuries will heal—"

She looked up at the girl in colorful clothes standing next to Ling Qingzhu, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes, and said softly with a smile, "Your name is Xiao Hong, right? Thank you so much this time."

If Xiao Hong hadn't rushed out and attracted Ren Yuanzi's attention, she would have been the one to have her soul searched.

No one had ever protected her soul in her Niwan Palace.

Little Red blinked her big eyes, tilted her head, and asked, "Sister Liu Wei, why did that Yuanzi keep asking you about my master?"

This question had been on her mind for a long time.

Why did Ren Yuanzi ask Liu Wei about her master's identity?

Could it be that Sister Liu Wei and the master have a very good relationship?

Upon hearing this, Liu Wei gave a bitter smile.

She never expected that she would suffer such an undeserved disaster just because of a single sentence.

"It's all because—"

She glanced at Ling Qingzhu, her tone tinged with resentment.

Ling Qingzhu was taken aback, somewhat confused: "Because of me?"

Liu Wei said irritably, "Why would you give someone your personal storage bag for no reason?"

"When I saw that storage bag, I thought—I thought that person was your lover!"

"I said 'family,' and Hitomoto assumed I knew his identity—"

In the end, Liu Wei's tone was full of helplessness.

Little did she know that saying "family" would cause such a huge disaster.

Ling Qingzhu was stunned after hearing this.

Immediately, a voice called out, "Senior Sister!"

She gave a soft reproachful look, a blush quickly spreading across her face, her ears burning: "That's—that's a senior! No—no—"

She couldn't bring herself to say the words "lover" at the end.

When they parted ways at the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele, she was afraid that Xiao Bai would refuse, so she asked someone to deliver the storage bag to him.

Perhaps it's the melancholy of parting, the uncertainty of when we'll meet again, or perhaps it's a distant dream—

Overwhelmed with emotion, she gave away her personal storage bag along with the Nirvana Pill.

Who knew things would turn out like this today!

"senior?!"

Liu Wei was taken aback and looked at her junior sister with a strange gaze.

That expression seemed to say, "Do you young people all play these kinds of games?"

She admitted that the person was very strong and could repel Ren Yuanzi, but her intuition told her that the person did not seem like an old monster who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years.

Ling Qingzhu calls her "senior"?

Seeing Liu Wei's strange look, Ling Qingzhu suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

She realized that her senior sister had already made up her mind about the matter, and no matter how much she explained, it would only make things worse.

"Giggle————"

Seeing Ling Qingzhu turn her head away, her ears turning bright red, Xiao Hong covered her mouth and chuckled, then whispered in her ear, "Sister Qingzhu, you can be one too~"

She smiled mischievously and continued, "With Sister Qingzhu's looks, I guarantee you'll be completely captivated by Master—that way, I won't have to be separated from you anymore."

She had seen Ling Qingzhu's true face beneath her veil.

When I first saw her, I was completely stunned.

That was like a celestial being descended to earth!

"Go, go, go find your master—"

Ling Qingzhu rolled her eyes at her and gently tapped her forehead.

This heartless little thing was crying her eyes out just now, but after hearing "Hanhai City," she completely changed from her pitiful, abandoned state.

He's clearly a kid eager to meet his parents!

Liu Wei watched this scene with a smile.

Her junior sister was exceptionally talented from a young age and was revered by everyone in the palace, like a cold and aloof fairy who had fallen to earth.

Aside from the Palace Master, almost no one could make her expression change, let alone engage in such intimate playful banter.

It seems her guess was indeed correct.

Just then—

"Master Liu."

Several figures walked over; they were the leaders of other sects.

Leading the group was Fu Zong Bai Qiu. He glanced at Liu Wei, then at Ling Qingzhu and Xiao Hong, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture: "Now that all the geniuses of Bai Chao Mountain have gathered, shouldn't we begin selecting disciples?"

There seemed to be a hint of impatience in his eyes.

The others nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with eager anticipation.

Liu Wei was taken aback, then realized what was happening—

Good guy!

These people want to take advantage of Yuanmen's absence and divide up all those promising talents!

It should be noted that during every Hundred Dynasties War, the Yuan Sect would use its strength to snatch away the most outstanding disciples.

Now that Yuanzi has been defeated by Xiao Bai, not a single member of the Yuan Clan is present.

If not now, when?

Thinking of this, Liu Wei also stood up.

She was more than happy to see Yuanzi treat her that way and cause the Yuan Clan to suffer a loss!

She turned her head to look at Ling Qingzhu: "Junior sister, shall we go take a look together?"

Ling Qingzhu shook her head slightly: "Senior Sister, please handle this matter. I won't overstep my bounds."

Just as Liu Wei was about to say it was alright, she heard Xiao Hong's clear voice rang out: "Sister Liu Wei, you should go quickly!"

Xiao Hong, holding Ling Qingzhu's hand, said with a smile, "Qingzhu and I are going to Hanhai City!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Wei immediately smiled like an aunt.

She blinked her beautiful eyes, a mischievous glint in them, and deliberately drew out her words: "Then junior sisters, you should hurry on your way, lest you keep 'senior' waiting."

When she said the word "senior," she emphasized it and spoke in a teasing tone.

After saying that, she turned and left with a smile, leaving Ling Qingzhu standing there.

Ling Qingzhu:

'

She fell silent for a moment.

Hanhai City —

Is she really going to go find her senior?

A look of confusion appeared in Ling Qingzhu's eyes.

I first met my senior in an ancient tomb in the Great Yan Dynasty.

She was in danger at that time, and her senior saved her. Although he paid her afterwards, she thought the payment was nothing.

She was very grateful.

The second time was at the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele, where we traveled together.

Although the senior looks like a young man, his every word and action makes him seem like a true master.

They are both witty and humorous, and extremely reliable in crucial moments.

She had a good impression of her senior.

But in her heart, this goodwill was more like the respect and closeness a junior has for a senior, a friendship that transcends age.

But today, it concerns the daughter's reputation and innocence.

If it were anyone else, she would have been angry long ago.

But right now—

She didn't seem that angry.

This left her feeling extremely confused and disoriented.

"Sister Qingzhu————Sister Qingzhu————"

Xiao Hong looked at Ling Qingzhu, who was suddenly lost in thought, tilted her head, and looked at her with a pair of big eyes full of doubt.

"cough----"

Ling Qingzhu snapped out of her reverie. Facing Xiao Hong's questioning gaze, she coughed lightly, her beautiful eyes slightly unfocused: "Xiao Hong, how about—I activate the teleportation array to send you to the Han Hai Dynasty, and you go see the senior yourself?"

For some reason, I had been looking forward to seeing Xiao Bai again.

But now, the thought of seeing him soon made her feel flustered.

Xiao Hong was stunned, and the excitement in her eyes visibly disappeared.

She lowered her head, her toes rubbing back and forth on the ground, and softly responded, "Oh—"

That voice conveyed an overwhelming sense of loss.

Seeing this, Ling Qingzhu's heart softened.

She patted Xiao Hong's head and said helplessly, "Fine, I'll go with you."

Little Red had followed her ever since she took human form. Innocent and obedient, she was the one who taught her step by step how to dress, how to eat like a human, and how to write with human characters.

This relationship, though described as that of an older sister, is actually more like that of a mentor and mentor.

Upon hearing this, the light that had disappeared from Xiaohong's eyes lit up again.

"Hehe—Qingzhu is the best!"

She grabbed Ling Qingzhu's arm, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter: "Then let's hurry! Otherwise, if we're too late, Master will run away again."

Ling Qingzhu smiled gently.

She let Xiao Hong pull her towards the teleportation array in the main hall.

A silvery-white light shone forth, and space began to distort.

Two beautiful figures disappeared into the light.

The Hanhai Dynasty, on the shore of the East China Sea.

Xiao Bai slowly stepped out of the void, with a silvery-white sandy beach beneath his feet.

The sea breeze was refreshing, carrying a salty and damp scent.

The waves crashed against the shore, making a rhythmic "whoosh" sound.

He looked up at the majestic city in the distance.

Above the city gate, three ancient seal characters gleamed in the sunlight: "Hanhai City".

At this moment, his slightly pale face finally looked a little better.

Xiao Bai stood on the beach, gazing at the boundless, deep blue sea on the other side, and sighed softly, "In the end, my strength is still a bit too weak—"

He recalled the scene where Xiao Hong tried to come over through the spatial rift.

It wasn't that he didn't want to bring her along.

At that moment, he simply could no longer maintain the spatial rift.

The moment he unleashed the purple lightning, the familiar restrictions of heaven and earth reappeared.

The purple lightning, which was originally powerful enough to kill Yuanzi's wisp of primordial spirit, was weakened layer by layer, its power greatly reduced, and it almost caused a disaster.

If that person, Yuanzi, hadn't been so terrified that he retreated on his own initiative—

Today is likely to bring another twist of fate.

"We must obtain the Thunder Ancestral Symbol as soon as possible—"

Xiao Bai murmured softly, "With the blessing of the Thunder Dao authority of this world, this situation should no longer occur."

He turned around and glanced in the direction of the ancient battlefield, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

I never expected that the little guy had already taken human form.

Moreover, he has such a strong and unyielding personality.

He would rather die than reveal his name.

Xiao Bai shook his head slightly, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.

His original intention for Xiao Hong was to have her stay with Ling Qingzhu.

With the essence of a Dou Sheng, Xiao Hong will be able to cultivate to at least the Reincarnation Realm in the future, which will be enough to keep up with Ling Qingzhu's pace.

I never expected that this girl still had him in her heart.

Since that's the case—

Let's meet then.

Xiao Bai didn't have to wait long. Just as he sat cross-legged by the sea for several hours, a clear exclamation rang out behind him.

"Owner!"

As soon as Xiao Hong landed, she rushed towards Xiao Bai, hugging his arm tightly, her eyes reddening: "Master, I thought you didn't want me anymore!"

Xiao Bai looked down at the colorful girl who was clinging to his arm and wouldn't let go, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

"How could that be?"

He reached out and gently patted Little Red's head, his voice gentle: "I'm just asking you to cultivate properly with Miss Ling, not abandoning you."

Xiao Hong sniffed, looked up, and her big, watery eyes asked, "Really?"

"real."

Xiao Bai nodded.

Xiao Hong then stopped crying and started laughing, clinging tightly to Xiao Bai's arm as if afraid he would run away again.

Xiao Bai had no choice but to let her hug him, and looked up at Ling Qingzhu not far away.

Dressed in white, her face veiled, she was as ethereal and aloof as a fairy under the moon.

But at this moment, there seemed to be an indescribable complexity in those beautiful eyes.

"Miss Ling, it's been a long time."

Xiao Bai smiled slightly and greeted him.

Ling Qingzhu was slightly taken aback, then quickly regained her senses and curtsied, saying, "Qingzhu greets Senior."

The voice was still cold and clear, but it carried a hint of nervousness that was more pronounced than before.

Xiao Bai didn't think much of it and waved his hand, "No need for formalities."

He glanced at Xiao Hong, then at Ling Qingzhu, and said with a smile, "After this girl transformed, she was greatly taken care of by Miss Ling."

Ling Qingzhu shook her head: "Senior, you flatter me. Xiao Hong is well-behaved and sensible; it's she who's keeping me company."

When Xiao Hong heard the two praising her, she proudly raised her chin, with an expression that said, "Of course."

Xiao Bai chuckled and rubbed her head again.

The three stood on the beach, the sea breeze blowing and the waves crashing against the shore.

There was silence for a moment.

Ling Qingzhu remained silent for a moment, then finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been lingering in her mind: "Senior, you came to Hanhai City—are you going to the Chaotic Demon Sea?"

The biggest attraction of this place is its location on the edge of the Chaotic Demon Sea; almost everyone who comes here is there because of the Chaotic Demon Sea.

Xiao Bai nodded: "Not bad."

"Deep within the Chaotic Demon Sea lies what I need."

"What is it?"

Little Red blinked, her expression excited, looking at the sea with eager eyes.

Xiao Bai glanced at her and didn't hide anything: "Thunder Ancestral Symbol."

"Thunder Ancestral Symbol————"

Both women were startled.

They naturally knew what the ancestral symbol was.

It was a divine object formed from heaven and earth, possessing boundless power, but also containing endless danger.

Countless powerful individuals are pursuing the Ancestral Symbol, but very few can truly control it.

"The Thunder Ancestral Symbol is in the Chaotic Demon Sea?!"

Ling Qingzhu stared at Xiao Bai in disbelief. She had heard from Senior Black Pupil that he was the previous Devouring Lord, but the Devouring Ancestral Symbol was later taken away.

She was quite disappointed at the time that she had not seen the true face of Zu Fu in person.

But on this trip to the Great Yan Dynasty, she and Xiao Hong both went to the Great Wilderness County, where they heard about Xiao Bai's deeds in the Xuan Yin Mountains.

At that time, she guessed that he must have already obtained the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

Now he's going to find the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, which shows that he has an extraordinary understanding of the symbol.

"There are quite a few ancestral symbols in this Chaotic Demon Sea..."

Xiao Bai chuckled softly, facing the sea, and said slowly, "The three ancestral symbols of thunder, life and death, and fire are all in this chaotic demon sea."

"The Flame Ancestral Symbol... Qingzhu heard her master mention it. It's in the Flame God Palace, a top power in the Chaotic Demon Sea. I just didn't expect the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol to be here too..."

'

Ling Qingzhu stepped forward and stood beside him, looking out at the vast and boundless sea. Listening to the news of the supreme divine artifact, the emotions that had been building up in her heart slowly calmed down.

After a moment, she turned her head and smiled sweetly: "Senior..."

'

"Qingzhu also wishes to witness the power of the Ancestral Symbol. Is that permissible?"

Xiao Bai could naturally sense the change in her emotions. He turned his head, glanced at her thoughtfully, and nodded slightly.

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Little Red's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Let's go together!"

"I also want to see the power of the Ancestral Symbol."

'
