Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 447 Zi Yan with a Cheat Code
After returning to Zixiao Palace, Xiao Bai had a lot more free time.

This tranquility, however, is presented in an extremely "lively" way.

Xiao Bai devoted his energy to alchemy.

At the founding ceremony, the gifts sent by various forces, along with the high-grade medicinal materials collected by the Zixiao Auction House over the past few days, were all precious items, except for some of the lower-grade ones that Little Fairy Doctor used for practice. They were all high-grade eighth-rank materials with powerful medicinal properties.

For more than a month, strange phenomena kept occurring in the sky above Zixiao Palace.

"Boom!"

In the beginning, whenever the sky suddenly darkened, thick thunderclouds gathered, and five-, six-, or even seven-colored lightning bolts roared like giant dragons, tearing through the sky and fiercely striking a certain alchemy room on the back mountain of the main peak, it would always cause countless disciples of Zixiao Palace to exclaim and look up, their faces filled with shock and awe.

"The Palace Master is refining pills again!"

"How many times has this happened this month? The Palace Master's alchemy skills are truly miraculous!"

As time went on, when the thunderous roar became almost a daily background noise in Zixiao Palace, the disciples gradually went from being shocked to becoming numb.

In the end, some people even began to sit cross-legged in the square or on the hilltop, using the rich energy contained in the Dan Lei to cultivate.

The entire Fenglei Mountain Range was filled with a refreshing and pleasant fragrance of medicinal pills; even a deep breath made one feel their fighting spirit circulate faster.

On this day, inside the alchemy room in the back mountain.

"Om-"

The Nine Heavens Thunder Cauldron floated in mid-air, with thunder patterns flowing across its body, emitting a deep hum.

Inside the cauldron, the intense heat gradually subsided. In the sky, a ferocious nine-colored lightning bolt had just condensed and was about to strike when Xiao Bai casually grabbed it. The lightning tribulation, which was enough to severely injure an ordinary Dou Zun, was held in his hand like a docile python. He then opened his mouth and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

The lightning flashed across his body and disappeared, transforming into pure energy that he absorbed.

"Finally, the refining is complete."

Xiao Bai stood up, a look of satisfaction on his face.

For him, continuous high-intensity alchemy was also a way to hone his control over battle qi and his soul power.

Just then, a streak of light shot out from the Nine Heavens Thunder Cauldron with a "whoosh," its brilliance dazzling and radiating astonishing energy fluctuations.

The stream of light trembled in the air and transformed into a small rabbit that was pure white with eyes like rubies. It seemed a little panicked and kicked at the air with its four hooves, trying to escape.

Suddenly, a small, fair hand was faster and swiftly scooped it up.

"Hehe, little bunny, don't run away!"

It was Xiao Qing who caught it.

The little girl's big eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she gently stroked the fur of the little rabbit formed from the elixir, soothing its slightly restless spirit.

Around her were three other small animals that had taken form from the elixir:
A cute little bear, exuding a strong earthy aura;

A small bird with vibrant feathers, its body surrounded by a gentle breeze;
There was also a small fish that was entirely blue with crystal-clear scales.

These are Xiao Bai's achievements over the past month. He refined all the high-grade medicinal herbs he had collected into eighth-grade pills, and two of them even reached the nine-color level!
"Qing'er, put them all away."

As Xiao Bai watched his daughter curiously poke the teddy bear's belly and then tease the little bird with her finger, a doting smile appeared on his face.

This period was the longest time his daughter had spent by his side since she was born. This little girl had almost become his little alchemy apprentice. Although she couldn't help much, watching her curiously looking around and occasionally exclaiming in surprise made the tedious alchemy process much more enjoyable.

"Okay, Daddy!"

Xiao Qing obediently responded, and with her short legs, she hurriedly caught the little rabbit that was trying to hop away, as well as three other somewhat unruly pill-transformed beasts, and then carefully placed them into a high-level storage ring that Xiao Bai had already prepared for her.

The internal space of the storage ring was stable, and with the restrictions set up by Xiao Bai, it was enough to ensure that these highly spiritual pills would not lose their medicinal power or escape.

Xiao Bai smiled and shook his head, ignoring his daughter, and slowly walked out of the alchemy room.

Outside, the sun shines brightly, casting its rays upon the mist-shrouded mountains.

He stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance at the void, his brow slightly furrowed, and he murmured softly:

"I thought the Soul Clan would come looking for trouble, but more than a month has passed and not a single one has come... Moreover, according to news from various places, the entire Soul Palace branch in Central Continent is unusually quiet, and has almost completely ceased all public activities..."

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

The Soul Clan suffered such a great loss in front of the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave, and the Soul Emperor was even injured by the combined forces of Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan. Given the Soul Clan's vengeful nature, they would never swallow their anger like this.

What's more, he even stole the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, which originally belonged to the Soul Clan, in front of everyone.

If Void Devouring Flame hadn't obtained an ancient jade piece first, Xiao Bai would probably have already collected all the ancient jade pieces by now.

The silence of the Soul Clan actually made Xiao Bai feel uneasy.

"Could it be... that guy Void Devouring Flame has already begun to advance to the Emperor Realm Soul stage?"

His eyes glazed over slightly, and as his thoughts raced, a strong sense of urgency arose within him.

If that's the case, he probably doesn't have much time left.

As for Zhu Kun, he still has three years before he can escape. The Void Devouring Flame, a soul at the Emperor Realm, will undergo a tremendous change in strength. Apart from Gu Yuan, probably no one can stop him.

He emerged from the underground space of Canaan Academy and rushed back to Zixiao Palace without stopping, primarily because he feared that the Soul Clan would launch a sneak attack while he was away.

But for more than a month, things have been calm, and the Soul Clan seems to have completely ceased their activities, which is definitely not normal.

"Tsk tsk... Could it be that the Soul Emperor was too badly injured underground at Canaan Academy and is unable to care for others?!"

Xiao Bai recalled the time when Soul Emperor took Zhu Kun's tail whip head-on and Gu Yuan's angry palm strike, and the suppressed groan he let out. His eyes couldn't help but become playful.

If that's the case, then this temporary calm makes sense. The Soul Clan needs time to recover its strength, and even more so, it needs time to ensure Void Devouring Flame's breakthrough.

But in any case, he must improve his strength as soon as possible.

"Father, everything is ready!"

At this moment, Xiao Qing ran out of the alchemy room, holding the storage ring in her small hands, and presented it to Xiao Bai like a treasure.

Xiao Bai bent down, affectionately patted his daughter's head, and smiled, "Qing'er, keep these for yourself. These are all prepared by your father for your Aunt Xian and Aunt Yun."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing nodded vigorously and carefully gripped the storage ring tightly in his hand.

Xiao Bai took his daughter's small hand, looked towards the back of the main peak, and said softly:

"Judging by the time, your Aunt Xian and Aunt Yun should be coming out of the Heavenly Tomb soon."

He paused, looked at his daughter, his tone gentle yet carrying a hint of instruction:
"When Father takes them in again, Qing'er will go in with them, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing looked up, her large eyes filled with deep reluctance, and asked softly:

"Father...is he leaving again?"

"Ah."

Xiao Bai didn't hide anything and nodded.
"Your father needs to go somewhere to seek an opportunity. It's still too dangerous for you right now."

He flipped his hand and took out an object. It was a bead no bigger than a thumb, its entire surface a vibrant, emerald green, looking just like the finest jade.

The bead gleamed with a warm glow in his palm, as if it contained endless vitality.

Xiao Bai's brow furrows gleamed with a faint light, and in an instant, a mysterious feeling arose in his mind, faintly pointing towards the northeast.

An ancient Bodhi tree!

It's time to go and see them.

If he could obtain the assistance of the Bodhi Tree and comprehend the hundred lifetimes of reincarnation beneath it, his chances of breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm would greatly increase! He could even lay an incredibly solid foundation, which would have immeasurable benefits for his future cultivation.

Just as he made up his mind, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from the space not far away beside him.

"Om-"

The space rippled outwards like water, forming a temporary passage.

Immediately afterwards, two slightly tired but bright-eyed figures, whose auras were significantly stronger than a month ago, and a cocoon of light radiating a rich purple-gold light with life fluctuations as powerful as a drumbeat, were "spit out" from it.

It was Little Fairy Doctor, Yun Yun, and Zi Yan who had been cultivating in the Heavenly Tomb for a year.

As soon as Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun appeared, they sensed Xiao Bai's presence and immediately turned their gazes toward him.

"It seems you've had a good year!"

Xiao Bai looked the two women up and down, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, and smiled slightly.

"This Heavenly Tomb is indeed amazing."

Yun Yun lightly flicked her sleeves, causing a swirling blue wind to swirl around her, and countless petals condensed from energy drifted down, carrying a faint fragrance of flowers.

Her fair skin and exquisite face were accentuated, making her look like a fairy descended to earth.

Xiao Bai was stunned. He had to admit that, regardless of whether the Flower Sect's techniques were strong or not, they were definitely beautiful!

Upon seeing this, Yun Yun's pretty face flushed slightly, but a hint of joy flashed in the corner of her eyes.

"Pfft!"

Looking at his appearance, Little Fairy Doctor took light steps and came to Xiao Bai, chuckling softly as she said:

"Idiot, is it good?"

Seeing the little fairy doctor's coquettish expression, Xiao Bai finally came to his senses and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.

"Yun'er is indeed beautiful."

He smiled frankly, his gaze lingering for a moment on Yun Yun's flushed face before turning to Little Fairy Doctor.

"However, Xian'er is not bad either. Her cultivation has improved a lot in the past year. She has reached the eighth level of Dou Zun and is not far from the Saint level!"

Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't hide the smile on her lips:

"As you said, the energy inside is abundant; it is indeed a good place for a ninth-level Dou Zun!"

"Indeed, with Senior Xiao Xuan's guidance, if your cultivation still hasn't improved, I'm afraid I'll have let you down!"

Yun Yun walked over, patted Xiao Qing's little head, her clear, beautiful eyes sparkling with affection as she looked tenderly at Xiao Bai.

It was his support that brought her to where she is today.

If she hadn't met and gotten to know him in the Monster Mountain Range back then, she would probably still be the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect in the Jia Ma Empire, with a cultivation level of at most a Dou Zong. She wouldn't be the nine-star Dou Zun she is today!
She felt so fortunate to have met such a wonderful man in her life, someone she could entrust her life to.

Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly, but her gaze fell on the emerald green bead in Xiao Bai's palm:
"This is... a bodhi seed?"

"good."

Xiao Bai presented the Bodhi seeds to the two women.
"I sensed the guidance within and prepared to travel to the desolate ancient domain to find the Bodhi Tree."

"You want to advance to the Dou Sheng realm using the Bodhi Heart?!"

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes flickered slightly, and she instantly remembered the function of the Bodhi Tree.

Xiao Bai shook his head and said, "The Bodhi Tree has three treasures: the Bodhi seed, the Bodhi heart, and enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. For me, the Bodhi heart is secondary; I want the opportunity to gain enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree even more!"

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly: "I once saw records about the Bodhi Ancient Tree in the Dan Tower Library. The Bodhi Ancient Tree appears once every thousand years, but in the last ten thousand years, its whereabouts have been extremely rare, and it has not appeared even once."

She paused, her beautiful eyes looking at Xiao Bai with some worry.

"Legend has it that the ancient Bodhi tree never appears on its own, making it difficult for anyone to find its trace. Are you confident in your ability to locate it?"

"Ordinary people naturally cannot find it."

Xiao Bai gently stroked the Bodhi seed with his fingertips, emerald light flowing between his fingers, and confidently said:

“But I am different; I can already vaguely sense the location of the ancient tree itself.”

When he extracted Bodhi seeds from the Bodhi tree's saliva, he had 'seen' the ancient Bodhi tree.

Now, as his cultivation level increases, the vertical eye between his eyebrows becomes more and more magical, and that sensation becomes clearer.

Just then, the Bodhi seed in his palm suddenly emitted an unprecedented emerald green light, and a phantom image of an ancient tree appeared and disappeared in the light, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"This is..." Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun both showed surprise.

Xiao Bai's gaze was deep. After the light from the Bodhi seed subsided once more, he murmured softly:

"It seems to be beckon me there with great eagerness!"

Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun were shocked. They looked at each other in disbelief.

The ancient Bodhi tree, whose traces are impossible for ordinary people to find, summoned Xiao Bai to it through Bodhi seeds.

And why are they so impatient?
"Let's go. After I send you to the Heavenly Tomb, I'll head to the Desolate Ancient Domain to see the Bodhi Tree!"

After putting away the Bodhi seed in his hand, Xiao Bai prepared to raise his hand to open the Heavenly Tomb again.

"noob."

Little Fairy Doctor pressed down on Xiao Bai's arm, a hint of worry flashing in her beautiful eyes.
“Every time the Bodhi Ancient Tree appears in the world, it causes a great commotion. But now it is summoning you here so quietly. This is too strange. Why don’t I skip the Heavenly Tomb this time and go with you to the Desolate Ancient Domain!”

Xiao Bai thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, I can open the Heavenly Tomb at any time. If anything happens, you can also appear at any time!"

The two women were taken aback upon hearing this, only then realizing that Xiao Bai could open the Heavenly Tomb at any time.

I never imagined that the celestial tomb would have such a purpose!

They were overjoyed, as this meant they could stay by Xiao Bai's side at all times.

"Alright, I'll take you inside!"

Xiao Bai approached Zi Yan's cocoon, sensed it for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Not long after we went in last time, Zi Yan fell into a deep sleep. Senior Xiao Xuan said that she is now a four-star Dou Sheng. If she refines and absorbs all the light cocoons, she is very likely to climb to the peak of six stars, or even reach the seven-star level!"

Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Bai almost fainted.

What is a chosen one? This is the chosen one!

Eat a fruit, sleep for a few years, and your cultivation level will directly advance to the advanced Dou Sheng?

You're a cheater!

Taking a few deep breaths, Xiao Bai suppressed the turmoil in his heart, waved his hand to open the Heavenly Tomb, and threw the light cocoon directly inside. He didn't want to see this girl for even a moment now, for fear that his Dao heart would become unstable!
When Xiao Bai broke down in his defenses, Xiao Yixian and Yun Yun couldn't help but smile at each other. When they heard Xiao Xuan's words, they were also speechless for a long time, deeply shocked.

"Alright, Qing'er will come in with you this time. You can do whatever you want with the pills she has. Now go in!"

Xiao Bai waved his hand somewhat listlessly, and only after the two women and Xiao Qing disappeared into the spatial rift did he close the rift.

After a while, he looked towards the northeast and cheered himself up.

This journey will surely lead to my ascension to the rank of Battle Saint!
