Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 386 Let's celebrate again when we've succeeded.

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

Deep within the mountains behind the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, on the altar, the sea of ​​lightning remained unchanged.

"Sister Yun'er, how much longer do you think Xiao Bai will take?"

Zi Yan plopped down on a boulder, rested her chin on her hands, and turned her head to look at Yun Yun, who was quietly meditating and cultivating beside her.

"Compared to half a month ago, the commotion at the altar has lessened considerably. It should be soon!"

Yun Yun slowly opened her beautiful eyes, glanced at Xiao Bai sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff in front of her, and shook her head slightly.

Right now, it's just the three of them—they, Xiao Bai, and Yanran—who returned to the Flower Sect with Elder Qingxiao.
Since Zhu Huo left half a month ago, Venerable Feng, Tang Zhen and the others have left one after another. Even Xiao Yan, who was the last to arrive, had no choice but to leave when the Pill Gathering was about to begin.

Zi Yan also turned her gaze to Xiao Bai, and seeing that he was still facing the altar with his back to them, she couldn't help but pout.

His large eyes turned to Yun Yun beside him, and he was about to speak when his gaze suddenly froze. After lingering on her for a moment, he exclaimed in surprise:
"Huh? Sister Yun'er, you're about to break through!"

"My sister is no match for you. I only reached the Dou Zun level because of his help. Otherwise, I would still only be a Dou Zong!"

Yun Yun patted Zi Yan's head, her face slightly flushed. She remembered that when this little girl was still a Dou Wang, she was already a Dou Huang. Now, she had been surpassed by her by so much.

Sometimes she couldn't help but sigh. Ever since she met Xiao Bai, the guys around him were all incredibly talented. She thought she had worked very hard and even had the opportunity to join the Flower Sect, but she still couldn't catch up with them.

Little Fairy Doctor, Qinglin, Ziyan, and Cailin—when she emerges from her seclusion this time, she will at least be a mid-level Dou Zun.

Not to mention someone's childhood sweetheart, who is said to be an extraordinary genius. Sometimes she doesn't dare to think too much about him, for fear of being discouraged and losing the courage to catch up.

"Hehe. Sister Yun'er, don't be afraid."

Seeing this, Zi Yan shook her little fist and said with a 'fierce' expression:

"From now on, I'll protect you. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll have them scatter their ashes!"

"Pfft!"

Seeing her feigned fierceness, Yun Yun felt a warmth in her heart, covered her mouth and chuckled, nodded her head, and said softly:

"Then thank you very much, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor!"

While the two women were chatting and laughing softly, Xiao Bai was intently watching the sea of ​​thunder. At that moment, the purplish-black starfire was burning fiercely on the huge stone tablet.

A clump of golden blood floated within it, shimmering with dazzling light, and a small human figure could be faintly seen lying peacefully in the blood.

"Senior, I've done everything I could. Whether you succeed or not depends on your own fate!"

Xiao Bai quietly observed for a moment, then his lips moved slightly as he put his voice into it.

While his methods of Nirvana, including thunder and fire, are important, they are only one step in the process. He was somewhat unsure whether he could ultimately achieve Nirvana.

"Thank you very much, young friend. It's already quite an achievement to have come this far. Even if we ultimately fail, it's simply fate, and we can't blame anyone else!"

Within the blood, the figure lay serene, yet the voice of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint still echoed in Xiao Bai's ears:

"My cultivation method is closely related to the Nine Netherworlds. Next, I will place the stone tablet in the Nine Netherworlds, using the environment there to aid my Nirvana."

"These are the cultivation methods of the Yellow Spring Finger, Yellow Spring Palm, and Yellow Spring Heavenly Wrath, along with some of my insights and experiences. I am passing them on to you, young friend. Even if we fail this time, what I have learned can still be passed down."

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light shot out from the stone tablet and landed on Xiao Bai's brow in the blink of an eye, before he could react.

"Rumble--"

The altar shook violently, and the stone tablet began to sink inch by inch into the altar below. Within a few breaths, the hundreds-of-feet-tall stone tablet was reduced to just a small section at the top, and it was even disappearing rapidly.

At the edge of the cliff, Xiao Bai suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hand to put away the Tai Chi diagram that was spinning in the air, and stood up to cup his hands in the direction of the altar.

"May your journey be filled with good fortune, and may you be reborn from the ashes!"

"Hahaha, go take a break, go take a break. If I'm lucky enough to succeed in the future, I'll definitely come to Zixiao Palace and have a drink with you, young friend."

A hearty laugh echoed across the sky, as if bidding farewell, yet also as if anticipating a future reunion.

After a short while, the laughter disappeared, and the entire altar stopped shaking.

"Has that old guy come back to life?" Zi Yan skipped over and tugged at Xiao Bai, who was in a daze.

Yun Yun also took a few steps and came to his side, her eyes asking a question.

Facing the two beautiful eyes, Xiao Bai shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, it all depends on his fate!"

"Tch! I was even planning to take him to Ancient Dragon Island to quell the rebellion, but after all that effort, he didn't even revive directly?" Zi Yan pouted, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

“!!” Xiao Bai.

This girl thinks way too highly of him, doesn't she?
He was a half-emperor, not some nobody. He himself was only an eight-star Dou Zun. If it weren't for this chance encounter that led him to comprehend the Nirvana Method, coupled with his possession of the Taiji Diagram and the Three Thousand Burning Flames, who on the entire continent would dare to say that a half-emperor could be resurrected?
Too lazy to pay attention to this girl, he turned his head to look at the beautiful figure beside him, took her hand, and whispered:
"I'm taking Ziyan back to the Jia Ma Empire. Yun'er, do you want to go back to the Yunlan Sect?"

Yun Yun's beautiful eyes fell on his large hand, feeling the warmth emanating from it. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she nodded gently.

"Ok!"

All things considered, she and he had always been separated more often than together. She didn't want to be separated from him so soon. It was time to go back and see how things were going at the sect, since she had been away for quite some time.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Zi Yan secretly reached out her small hand, grabbed Xiao Bai's other large hand, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes, and loudly announced that they were about to set off.

"Brush brush"

Just then, a whooshing sound rang out, and several figures rushed over.

"Huh? Brother Xiao, where is the Demon Saint?" Yao Ming looked at the empty altar, then at Xiao Bai's vicinity, his face showing astonishment.

"He has attained Nirvana and is currently recovering in the netherworld. From now on, you must guard that place and not let anyone disturb him."

Xiao Bai thought about it and decided to give him a hint, but he didn't tell him the whole truth.

Yao Ming was startled upon hearing this, but then his eyes lit up with joy, and he patted his chest to assure him:
"Brother Xiao, rest assured, I will immediately designate the Nine Netherworld as a forbidden area, and no one will be allowed to enter!"

A half-Emperor level expert! If he could do someone a favor, who would dare to provoke the Nine Netherworld Python Clan in the future? He wanted to see who would dare to say that the Nine Netherworld Python Clan was the weakest of the three major magical beast clans.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Zi Yan, who was holding Xiao Bai's hand.
Well, at least it's not the weakest!

Xiao Bai nodded, then suddenly remembered Yao Xiaotian and his group, and immediately gave them instructions:
"Keep a close eye on Yao Xiaotian and his gang. I'll be back soon to take them away!"

"No problem!" A fierce glint flashed in Yao Ming's eyes. He gritted his teeth as he picked up the two men, clearly still harboring resentment.

"Yes, thank you for your trouble!"

Xiao Bai was satisfied with his attitude; at least he wasn't the kind of person who would betray someone after using them. Thinking of the Yellow Springs Wrath that he had always longed for, he said calmly:
"If your soul reaches the threshold of cultivating the Wrath of the Yellow Springs, I can take the liberty of teaching it to you."

"A gate?" A hint of doubt flickered in Yao Ming's eyes.
"At least a Heavenly Realm Soul!"

Xiao Bai's voice instantly and mercilessly shattered Yao Ming's excitement. A bitter smile appeared on his lips as he shook his head.

"Brother Xiao, forget it. I don't have your soul talent. It seems this fighting technique is not meant for me!" Only these magical beasts know how difficult it is to improve one's soul. Just like it is extremely difficult for a human expert to have a magical beast body of equal strength.

"Suit yourself. If you want to learn in the future, just come find me anytime. Goodbye!"

As soon as Xiao Bai finished speaking, he led the two women and disappeared into the void.

"Clan leader, this Palace Master Xiao wouldn't be lying to us, would he? What kind of fighting technique requires a Heavenly Realm soul to cultivate?" After Xiao Bai left, an old man with a full head of white hair muttered behind Yao Ming.

"Silence!"

Yao Ming glared at him sharply and scolded, "There are many things you don't know. Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist."

He didn't doubt that Xiao Bai was lying to him. The Yellow Spring Demon Saint had said before that one needed to reach the peak of the Soul Heaven Realm to obtain the inheritance, which obviously had a reason. Now it seemed that this was the reason.

However, these matters concern the Demon Saint, and cannot be revealed to the elders of the clan for the time being.

"Do you remember the two people beside Palace Master Xiao?"

Yao Ming changed the subject, glancing at the people behind him. Seeing them nod, he slowly said:

"Go back and tell the young men of the clan to be respectful to everyone they meet from now on, or they will cause trouble. According to the clan rules, they will not be let off lightly!"

"Yes!"

Black Corner Domain, Canaan College.

Above the inner courtyard, the space rippled slightly, and two figures gradually revealed themselves.

Looking down at the familiar buildings and the countless figures passing between them, Zi Yan felt a pang of nostalgia. She gathered her strength and said softly:

"Canaan Academy, your great-aunt is back!"

"How dare you! This is the inner courtyard, a place of utmost importance. Who dares to make such a racket?"

Zi Yan's shout resounded throughout the heavens and earth, instantly startling everyone in the inner courtyard. Streams of multicolored light rose into the air, and after seeing the two people clearly, their expressions froze for a moment, then they became excited.

"The Brute King is back! Quick, go and lock up the medicine storeroom!"

Suddenly, someone yelled, and the scene fell silent. Some elders twitched at the corners of their mouths, and when they saw Zi Yan's face full of black lines, they quickly suppressed the corners of their mouths that were turned up.

"Old Hao!"

Zi Yan gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with a fierce light, wishing she could give that old man hiding in the crowd a good beating.

"Haha, Xiao Bai, long time no see!"

At this moment, an old man with a full head of fiery red hair and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted from his body stepped forward, breaking the somewhat eerie atmosphere.

"Elder Huo, it's been a long time! It seems you've already broken through to the sixth rank!" Xiao Bai glanced at the elder of the Pill Academy and nodded with a smile.

"Haha. This is all thanks to the Alchemy Department of the Divine Firmament Alliance. After exchanging ideas with them over the past few years, I broke through without even realizing it!"

Elder Huo couldn't stop smiling. Breaking through to the sixth rank in alchemy had always been his wish, and now that it had come true, he was naturally overjoyed.

"Alright, old man Huo, stop showing off. Xiao Bai was already a sixth-rank cultivator not long after he enrolled!"

At this moment, a group of old men surrounded him, looking at the smug Elder Huo with disdain.

"That's right. Xiao Bai, you tell him what rank he is now, so that this good-for-nothing won't get arrogant!" An old man glanced at Elder Huo and sneered a few times.

That old bastard cheated them back then, and now that his alchemy skills have improved, he's cheating them even more!

Not to mention the low success rate, they're incredibly arrogant!
Whenever they sought out Old Man Huo to refine pills, they missed Xiao Bai terribly. Not only were the prices fair, but the success rate was also 100%. Compared to Xiao Bai, the two were worlds apart!
"Ahem, I've been busy with cultivation these past few years and have neglected my alchemy skills, so I won't embarrass myself by showing off!"

Xiao Bai coughed lightly, glanced at Elder Huo whose face still showed signs of excitement, and ultimately couldn't bear to tell the truth.

"Alright, this is an academy. The students below are all watching. They are all quite old. How can you be so noisy and disorderly!"

An aged voice rang out, followed by spatial ripples, and a figure dressed in a white robe appeared.

"Old man!"

Zi Yan shouted with delight and rushed over.

"You silly girl, you've been gone for so long without even coming back to visit. If I didn't know you were with Xiao Bai, this old man would have gone all the way to Zhongzhou to look for you!"

Su Qian looked at the girl in front of him. Although he scolded her, his eyes were a little moist. He kept looking her over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not hurt or bumped.

"Hehe. That's why I came back to see you. You seem to be doing well these past few years, you're almost breaking through to the advanced Dou Zong level!"

Seeing Su Qian's expression, Zi Yan raised her small hand and tugged at his white beard. Her heart warmed. Before Xiao Bai entered her life, only the old man treated her with wholehearted kindness.

"Hmm? Speaking of cultivation, what is your current cultivation level? This old man can't quite figure it out."

Upon hearing Zi Yan state his cultivation level, Su Qian was startled and hurriedly asked.

"Dou Zun?!"

Just then, two figures appeared, staring at Zi Yan with shocked expressions, then at Xiao Bai. After a slight pause, they exchanged a glance and both noticed the look of horror in each other's eyes.

"Elders, congratulations! You've broken through your shackles and advanced your cultivation to a higher level!"

With a single glance, Xiao Bai could see the cultivation levels of the two elders, Qian Bai and his companion, both of whom had broken through to the Dou Zun realm.

"Hehe. Compared to you, I feel like we've wasted so many years of our lives. The younger generation is truly formidable!" Qianmu Bailie nodded bitterly.

They had only been away from the academy for a few years, yet they could no longer see through the little guy's cultivation level. This made them feel both happy and complicated.

They were pleased that Canaan Academy had produced such a talented student, but the complicated part was that they couldn't even discern the student's cultivation level.

The elders who overheard their conversation exchanged bewildered glances. Xiao Bai really wasn't lying!
To have such cultivation level, it seems that he has devoted himself to cultivation all these years and probably hasn't spent much time on alchemy.

"Come on, let's go to my place for a while!"

Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Su Qian felt a little helpless. Xiao Bai's popularity in the academy was really terrifying. He could greet anyone who came, and the key was that he actually remembered everyone.

"What a pity!" Elder Huo sighed with envy as he watched Xiao Bai leave with the Grand Elder.

"What a pity?" A clear voice rang out from the side.

"This guy's talent for alchemy is being wasted!" Elder Huo replied obliviously.

"Don't feel bad, Xiao Bai's alchemy skills haven't been neglected. He's now a high-level eighth-grade alchemist!"

Zi Yan's words silenced the air instantly, leaving a group of old men dumbfounded, their jaws practically dropping to the ground.

"hey-hey."

Upon seeing this, Zi Yan's eyes flashed with a deep smile, but then she caught a glimpse of a figure quietly retreating, and she was furious:
"Old Hao, don't run away! Your aunt needs to go to the storeroom to check my medicinal herbs!"
