Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 431 Mang Tianchi: What did you say?!

The entire square fell into an eerie silence in an instant.

It was as if even the wind had stopped flowing, the sunlight was frozen in the air, everyone's expressions were frozen on their faces, their pupils contracted due to extreme shock, and their hearts seemed to have forgotten to beat for a moment.

Dou Di?

These two words, as if possessing some kind of magic, or as if they were taboo words that had stepped out of ancient mythology, struck the depths of the souls of everyone present.

For the vast majority of forces in Zhongzhou, the Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) is already a legend, and the Dou Di (Battle Emperor)... that is a realm that only exists in ancient fragments and vague rumors.

After a brief silence came a commotion and uproar, like a volcanic eruption!

"A...a Dou Di? Did I hear that right?"

"Palace Master Xiao just mentioned...the mystery of the Dou Di?"

"How is this possible?! Countless years have passed, and the Dou Di has long since become a legend!"

Below the stage, countless people whispered among themselves, their faces filled with disbelief, excitement, doubt, and fervor... a mix of emotions that made the entire square feel like boiling water.

Meanwhile, the representatives from ancient races and top powers in the front row reacted even more violently!

Lei Zhen, Huo Zhi, and Yao Ling stood up from their seats almost simultaneously, their composure vanishing and replaced by unprecedented solemnity and horror!

They looked at each other and saw the same turbulent waves in each other's eyes.

Throughout the entire continent, if we were to discuss who understands the Dou Di the most, it would undoubtedly be none other than these descendants of the Dou Di.

Xiao Bai actually said it concerned the lives of all people on the continent and the survival of ancient races.

Cai Lin, who had been seemingly indifferent to her surroundings, sat up slightly and suddenly looked at Xiao Bai with her narrow, beautiful eyes.

She had always thought that Xiao Bai was just holding a grand opening ceremony, but now it seems that this was his real purpose!

Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun looked at Xiao Bai with surprise and worry. They vaguely knew that Xiao Bai had some secrets, but they did not expect that they would involve such a big deal!
Xun'er's smile gradually faded, and she frowned slightly, her gaze towards Xiao Bai filled with worry.

She knew Xiao Bai better than anyone else present. The stories he told her when he first broke through to the Dou Zhe level were stories that someone who had grown up in Wutan City could never know.

Although Xiao Bai is no longer the same as before, no longer the young fighter from Wutan City, she is very clear about the terrifying cause and effect and danger behind the title "Battle Emperor".

But she didn't know what he knew, or why he chose this time and this way to reveal it.

"Palace Master Xiao!"

The red-haired demigod of the Yan Clan couldn't help but speak in a deep voice, his tone like muffled thunder, "What do you mean by that?"

"Indeed, please enlighten me, Palace Master Xiao."

The half-saint from the Medicine Clan also stared intently at Xiao Bai, waiting for his explanation.

All eyes in the square were once again focused on Xiao Bai.

This time, the look in their eyes held a mixture of anticipation and shock.
Xiao Bai took in everyone's reactions without being surprised.

Since he chose to lift the lid at this moment, he had already anticipated the tremor it would cause.

With a calm expression, he slowly raised his hand to suppress the countless burning, questioning, and shocked gazes.

As he moved, the noise in the square gradually subsided, and everyone held their breath, waiting for him to continue.

"Everyone, please be patient."

Xiao Baiping's calm voice clearly reached everyone's ears, "In the Dou Qi Continent, no new Dou Di has been born for ten thousand years, and the last Dou Di recorded to date is named Tuoshe Ancient Emperor."

His gaze swept over the Thunder Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Medicine Clan, finally meeting Xun'er's worried eyes. He nodded slightly, reassuring her.

"By sheer chance, I, Xiao, learned a shocking secret from an ancient manuscript. This secret concerns the ancient emperor Tuoshe. After some deduction by Xiao, I have arrived at..."

"The exact location of the cave dwelling left behind by this ancient Dou Di powerhouse!"

These words, like a thunderclap from the heavens, suddenly resounded in the minds of every powerful person in the square!

"What?! The Dou Di Cave?"

"This...how is this possible?!"

"Since ancient times, there have been no more Battle Emperors, yet there are still Emperor's cave dwellings in existence?!"

Instantly, the entire audience erupted in uproar, gasps and gasps filled the air. Everyone was stunned by the news, their eyes filled with disbelief and extreme fervor!

But their reactions were completely different. The three clans of Lei Yan Yao, and even Xun'er, were all stunned for a moment.

Tuoshe Cave?!

Not long ago, these clans were fighting to the death with the Soul Clan over the Tuoshe Ancient Jade. They never expected that Xiao Bai would so casually reveal the location of the Tuoshe Cave.
Xiao Bai glanced at the stunned members of his clan, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, and continued speaking, his voice drowning out all the noise:

"According to my deciphering, the cave is located here..."

At this moment, everyone held their breath, looking at Xiao Bai who had suddenly stopped. Some people wished they could run over and pry his mouth open. Why didn't he say the key points? Wasn't he just teasing them?
"...Right in the Northwest Continent, in the Black Corner Region, beneath Canaan Academy, deep within that sea of ​​magma and fire!"

Xiao Bai's gaze slowly swept across the entire room, and he spoke each word with perfect clarity.

Upon hearing this news, Mang Tianchi froze, nearly tugging out a few strands of his beard, and abruptly stood up.
"What do you say?"

His voice was like a rooster being strangled, sharp and filled with disbelief.

"Canaan Academy?! Underground magma?!"

As the founder of Canaan Academy, his inner courtyard had been built above that magma world for countless years, yet he had never sensed that such a shocking secret was hidden below!

This news had a greater impact on him than on anyone else present!
"Not bad!" Xiao Bai looked at Dean Mang and nodded slightly.

Mang Tianchi stood there dumbfounded, his heart filled with complex emotions. The expressions of the other people from the various clans were extremely subtle. Of course, they knew about the relationship between Canaan Academy and Mang Tianchi. After their initial shock, their gazes all seemed to fall on him, albeit subtly.

Judging from his current expression, he clearly didn't know, which made the other races secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Canaan College?"

Xun'er and Little Fairy Doctor were both stunned for a moment. They looked at each other, both feeling a bit shocked. Of course, they knew about that underground magma.

Xiao Bai almost perished there back then. If Xun'er hadn't known that he was safe and sound afterward, she probably would have turned that lava field upside down long ago.

Cai Lin and Yun Yun's eyes flickered thoughtfully; they finally understood why Xiao Bai wanted Canaan Academy to move away.

"Teacher, is that... the Dou Di's Cave Mansion down there?!"

Xiao Yan turned to look at Yao Lao beside him, his eyes wide with shock. He had spent quite a while in that magma, but he never expected that such a shocking secret was hidden below.

"I'm afraid so."

A look of reminiscence appeared in Yao Lao's eyes. Back when Xiao Yan subdued the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Bai appeared with the Yao Tian Huo. Afterwards, both he and the Yao Tian Huo sensed an exceptionally powerful aura. Now it seems that it should be a half-saint.

Thinking about it this way, he looked at Xiao Bai speechlessly. This guy didn't deduce it from some ancient manuscript; he obviously knew what was down there back then!

And I remember back then, he was just a Dou Huang, right? A mere Dou Huang dared to explore the ancient emperor's cave, his audacity was truly boundless!
"The Northwest Continent? The Black Corner Region? I know that chaotic land!"

"Canaan Academy? I know that academy. I remember a junior in my clan spent a few years there back then!"

"Brother Wu, how about we go take a look together after this place is cleared up?"

Unlike those on stage who knew some inside information, many people in the square were extremely enthusiastic at this moment. A Dou Di, a powerful figure like that, even if he just revealed a little something, it would be an unparalleled opportunity for them.

The Canaan Academy students, including Liu Qing and Lin Xiuya, who were sitting in front, couldn't help but look at each other, their hearts filled with mixed feelings.

Such an unparalleled opportunity could actually exist in the underground magma beneath Canaan Academy?
During those years at the academy, weren't they cultivating every day above the Dou Di Cave?
Thinking about it this way, I actually felt a little excited!
"Something's wrong!"

After calming down, the red-haired half-saint of the Yan clan had a hint of doubt flash in his eyes.

"Elder, what's wrong?" Huo Zhi asked softly.

"Xiao Zhi, I remember you said that this Palace Master Xiao is a member of the Xiao clan, right?" The red-haired half-saint glanced at Xiao Bai, who sat calmly in the main seat above.

"Not bad!" Huo Zhi nodded. She was quite grateful that Xiao Bai had warned her in advance to be careful of Soul Clan spies last time.

“He is a member of the Xiao clan and Gu Yuan’s son-in-law. Moreover, he was able to inform our clan to take precautions, so he must know about the Tuoshe Ancient Jade. If that’s the case, why would he reveal the location of the Tuoshe Cave?” The red-haired half-saint asked suspiciously.

Huo Zhi was taken aback, then instantly understood the elder's meaning, a hint of disbelief flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"The elder means that this is an ancient clan. Impossible. Gu Xun'er's shocked expression just now didn't seem to be feigned. Obviously, she didn't know this news either!"

The red-haired demigod sighed softly and said, "That's also what I'm wondering about. Think about it, if our clan obtains information about the Dou Di's cave, would we be willing to share it with the other clans?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhi pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

If the Yan Clan obtained information about the cave, they would definitely treat it as top secret and explore it in secret. How could they share it with others?

"That's right, we wouldn't, and I imagine the ancient clans wouldn't either. So, is this Palace Master Xiao really so selfless as to tell us this kind of news so easily?"

The question from the Crimson-Haired Half-Saint caused Huo Zhi to fall silent. She was also puzzled by Xiao Bai's behavior. Even if he was not strong enough to explore the cave now, the ancient clans definitely had the ability.

Given his relationship with Gu Xun'er, even if the Gu clan found out, it wouldn't be their turn.

But by sheer coincidence, he revealed the news of the Dou Di Cave to the entire continent!

This wasn't just the idea of ​​the Flame Clan; the Thunder Clan and the Medicine Clan, after calming down, also had the same thought.

"Brother Xiao."

Lei Zhen couldn't help himself. He regarded Xiao Bai as a friend and really didn't want to become his enemy one day. At this moment, he stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and hesitated to speak.

"Are you asking why I would directly reveal such a great opportunity?"

Xiao Bai glanced around and took in the expressions of the various clans, instantly understanding the situation.

His words also drew the attention of some people who were not blinded by the allure of the Dou Di Cave. Putting themselves in others' shoes, anyone who obtained such an opportunity would surely keep it a closely guarded secret, some wouldn't even tell their relatives, let alone spread the word.

He remained calm and slowly began to speak:

"Outside the cave dwelling lies a perilous place, not to be trespassed by ordinary experts. Moreover, you should know that entry is not something that can be accomplished by one person or one clan alone. I am making this information public today in the hope that heroes of the world, if they are fortunate and capable, may go and explore on their own, each relying on their own destiny."

He did not mention the ancient jade from Tuoshe; those who should know will naturally know.

Zhu Kun told him that among the three layers of protection of the cave, even if the lizardmen on the first layer were dealt with, only those with a cultivation level of mid-stage Dou Sheng could enter the black magma zone on the second layer.

This protective barrier is so strong that only a handful of people among all the ancient races could pass through it, let alone the rest of the continent.

Those people in the square were just there for show; they had absolutely no chance of getting close to the cave.

But the people in the square below had no idea of ​​the hidden story. When they heard Xiao Bai say that it was a destined person, they could no longer hold back. Countless gazes instantly turned greedy and eager, almost materializing.

The Dou Di Cave Mansion signifies endless treasures, lost cultivation techniques, legendary elixirs, and even... that elusive opportunity to become an emperor!
The three clans suddenly fell silent.

That's it!

Xiao Bai's words will naturally be interpreted differently by different people.

Unlike others who were unaware of the Tuoshe Ancient Jade, they understood the meaning behind Xiao Bai's words: a single piece of ancient jade could not open the Dou Di Cave.

Therefore, even if the ancient clans knew about this, there was nothing they could do.

As for whether all the ancient jades need to be collected to open it, Xiao Bai didn't say, and nobody knows!

"Palace Master Xiao, this matter is of utmost importance. We need to return to our clan immediately and report this to the clan leader!"

The Medicine Clan Half-Saint stood up and cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Bai without hesitation.

Xiao Bai looked at him strangely. Were the Medicine Clan really that proactive?
However, he showed no sign of it on his face, nodded, and smiled, "Good!"

Seeing this, Yao Ling stood up, bowed to Xiao Bai, and chuckled, "Palace Master Xiao, until we meet again!"

The Medicine Clan Half-Saint waved his hand, and the figures of the group disappeared.

Seeing this, the Lei Clan and Yan Clan did not hesitate. Since it concerned the opportunity to become a Dou Di, they could not sit still and got up to take their leave. Xiao Bai did not try to stop them.

However, as Mang Tianchi left, he looked at Xiao Bai with a complicated expression and transmitted his voice:
"Palace Master Xiao, please help protect Canaan Academy when the time comes. Those children are innocent."

Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow and a smile appeared on his lips. "Didn't the Dean go back to visit this time?"

Mang Tianchi looked at him, somewhat puzzled, and explained, "The crisis in the clan has just subsided, and we haven't had time to go yet."

Xiao Bai suddenly realized, then laughed and said, "Don't worry, Canaan Academy has already moved!"

"Relocation?" Mang Tianchi was taken aback. Looking at Xiao Bai's confident demeanor, he immediately realized that Xiao Bai had made preparations in advance. Relieved, he laughed loudly:

"I see, then thank you very much, Palace Master Xiao!"

"You're too kind, Dean!" Xiao Bai nodded and smiled.

Mang Tianchi gave him a deep look, feeling fortunate that Canaan Academy could produce such a strong person who cherished old friendships, and then left with Lei Zhen.

As some people left, many others became restless. Seeing this, Xiao Bai did not linger and announced the end of the ceremony.

Upon hearing this, everyone got up to say goodbye and leave, but many people stayed behind.

Xiao Bai glanced around and saw that they were all forces that were on good terms with him. He understood, so he stood up and smiled at the four women in front of him, who were in a strange atmosphere:

"I'll take them to the Wuliang Hall for a while; you can make your own arrangements."

Without the slightest hesitation, he vanished in an instant.

"Pfft!"

Seeing the once domineering and majestic Xiaobai now hurriedly leaving, Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes swept over the silent and speechless Cailin, Xun'er, and Yunyun, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
