Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 168 Entering the Valley

Deep in the mountains behind Canaan College.

Two figures, one old and one young, stood beside a cliff. The old man had a calm and serene expression, while the young man had a handsome face and a faint air of authority between his brows.

"Is this the sealed-off area of ​​Thunderfall Valley?" Xiao Bai looked around. Unlike the lush greenery in the distance, there wasn't a trace of green on the cliffs within a radius of several kilometers.

The surrounding area was full of boulders and exposed stone walls with some very shallow marks on them. Xiao Bai was very familiar with these marks; they were the marks left after being struck by lightning.

After countless years, these traces have become very blurred, and no lightning was seen in the surrounding area.

But he could sense that the ground beneath his feet was filled with a faint lightning-attribute energy, which was why nothing grew here.

"That's right, this is the outermost edge of Thunderfall Valley. Those marks were caused by lightning that escaped from the valley when it wasn't sealed off back then!" Su Qian looked around and nodded slightly.

"Indeed very powerful! Just the lightning that escaped from it caused such a sight!" Xiao Bai nodded, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Are you really sure you want to go in?"

Su Qian turned to look at Xiao Bai, her expression serious, and said:

"There are some places in there that even I have to be very careful when I go in. There's a risk of getting injured if you're not careful. You should think it through!"

The Grand Elder didn't want Xiao Bai to go in, but he couldn't resist the guy's insistence that if he didn't go in, he would have to leave Canaan Academy.

The elders were almost terrified. They had finally found a sixth-grade alchemist who was one of their own, but this guy actually threatened to run away! This was outrageous!

The group almost rushed forward, grabbed Xiao Bai, and locked him in a small dark room to refine medicine.

"You are still young and have outstanding talent. Advancing to Dou Huang is only a matter of time for you. Why are you in such a hurry?" Su Qian's aged eyes were somewhat puzzled by Xiao Bai's purpose in doing so.

"As long as you agree to accept the position of elder at Canaan Academy, all the academy's resources will be fully accessible to you. Wouldn't it be better to wait a few years, break through to the Dou Huanghou level, and then go in to cultivate?"

He thought highly of Xiao Bai. Such a young sixth-grade alchemist with exceptional talent in cultivation was rare. If possible, he hoped that Xiao Bai could stay at Canaan Academy.

"It's precisely because we're young that we need to seize every second!" Xiao Bai joked. "Otherwise, when we're old and frail, wouldn't we regret not working harder when we were young?"

Although his eyes held a smile, a resolute look remained in them as he shook his head.

Just kidding! Wait a few years? Xiao Yanzi's cultivation speed is completely unreasonable. If he really cultivated step by step, we probably wouldn't even see his exhaust fumes!

Besides, Canaan Academy is not a suitable place to lie low. Although he has a piece of Tuoshe Ancient Jade, who knows if Void Devouring Flame will suddenly regain its memory and recall the location of the ancient emperor's cave!

When the Soul Emperor comes to Canaan Academy, he will unleash the "Equality of All Beings" spell from the sky, and then we're doomed. Who can afford to wait that long?

"Alas!" Seeing that Xiao Bai was determined, Su Qian waved his hand and sighed, "Since you insist on going, I will not try to persuade you any further!"

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and a jade slip shimmering with light appeared in his palm: "Take this jade slip with you! If you can't hold on, crush the jade slip, and I will sense it and rescue you!"

"Of course, if you can persevere and want to exit after you've finished cultivating, just stick it on the restriction, and the spatial gate will open on its own!"

"Thank you, Elder!" Xiao Bai bowed and accepted the jade slip.

Seeing that he had put away the jade slip, the Grand Elder nodded slightly, then stretched out his hands and formed an intricate hand seal. A strange wave emanated from it, and ripples suddenly spread through the space in front of him.

After the ripples appeared, they began to twist magically, gradually forming a transparent portal about two meters high. On the portal, some intricate patterns appeared faintly.

Just then, a series of deafening thunderclaps resounded in his ears, and through the gradually forming portal, streaks of lightning shone into Xiao Bai's eyes.

The four lightning seeds seemed to awaken from their slumber and began to stir within Xiao Bai's body, constantly conveying to him a desire to eat, appearing somewhat impatient.

In an instant, a faint rumble of thunder also emanated from him.

Just as Xiao Bai was forcibly suppressing the restless energy of the lightning seed within his body, there was a slight movement in his sleeve.

The little golden dragon seemed to sense something as well. Its eyes were still closed, but its ears were perked up and its nose seemed to be sniffing something.

The Grand Elder, who was stabilizing the gate, glanced at Xiao Bai with surprise, though he didn't know why these movements had suddenly appeared on Xiao Bai.

But the fluctuations he occasionally sensed made him feel that they were not simple at all!

"This spatial portal hasn't even formed yet, but it can already resonate with us. No wonder this little guy has such a strong desire to come here; it seems there's a secret behind it!"

"Now that I think about it, his purpose in coming to Canaan Academy seemed very clear: he came for this place, not for the Qi Refining Tower of that day!"

"Could he really have some kind of relationship with the dean?"

Su Qian pondered as he formed hand seals. Was he wary of Xiao Bai? Of course he was!

An eighteen-year-old sixth-grade alchemist, a cultivation genius, appeared straight out of Canaan Academy. Moreover, through investigation, his background was clean, and there was nothing unusual about him.

To say that there was absolutely no doubt about it would be to underestimate Canaan Academy!

The academy's ability to establish itself in the treacherous Black Corner Region, and to remain standing in the heart of the region after hundreds of years of trials and tribulations, is no simple feat!

However, everything Xiao Bai did went through the proper procedures of Canaan Academy.

His actions in the outer courtyard, including his attitude towards Ruolin, were all observed by them, and these actions continuously proved that he had no ill intentions towards Canaan Academy.

Furthermore, the speculations of the two elders, along with their verbal probing during their first meeting, also proved that he seemed to have no other intentions toward the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

Therefore, Su Qiancai took a liking to his talent and invited him to stay at the academy as an elder.

However, Xiao Bai seemed to value and be very anxious about improving his cultivation.

Upon hearing the news of Thunder Valley, he couldn't wait to come here, saying that he would put everything else aside for now and talk about it after he finished his seclusion here.

Then came the scene here.

Just then, the spatial portal trembled, a thunderous roar resounded in their ears, and a sharp bolt of lightning shot out from within the portal.

"Bang!"

A streak of energy collided violently with the lightning, producing a deafening roar before dissipating into nothingness.

"Alright! Let's go in!" Su Qian calmly withdrew her hand that had collided with the lightning, and turned to Xiao Bai.

"Thank you for your trouble, Elder!" Xiao Bai stood in front of the portal, took a deep breath, and felt the rich lightning energy emanating from the portal, instantly feeling refreshed.

"Be careful in everything. If things don't go well, crush the jade slip!" Su Qian earnestly instructed.

"Alright!" Xiao Bai smiled at the Grand Elder, then turned his gaze to the lightning-studded portal.

The smile on his face slowly faded, his expression calmed down, and he stepped inside.

Watching Xiao Bai's figure disappear into the portal, Su Qian waited a moment longer. Seeing that Xiao Bai was alright, he waved his hand, and the portal immediately turned into ripples that gradually dissipated.

"I hope you can achieve your wish and gain something!" Gazing into the void, Su Qian's figure slowly disappeared, leaving only the echoing voice of an old man in the air, and the surroundings returned to calm.

Suppressed!

It's so depressing!

The dark, heavy clouds in the sky seemed almost within reach.

Xiao Bai stood in front of a huge valley, looking up slightly. Lightning flashed and darted through the dark clouds, like silver snakes dancing wildly.

Every now and then, huge bolts of lightning would strike the valley, producing a deafening roar. Powerful electric currents would run rampant through the valley, leaving everything in their wake surrounded by electric sparks.

As you climb up the rocky cliff in the valley, you can't see the top of the cliff at all; there are only thick clouds, as if the sky is about to collapse and crash into the valley.

"Such rich lightning energy!" A golden dragon head suddenly sprang from Xiao Bai's sleeve, letting out a childish exclamation.

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of golden light swallowed a bolt of lightning that was striking straight at him.

"Haha. My lord, this dragon loves this place!" After swallowing the lightning bolt as thick as a bowl, the dragon's mouth stretched to its ears, and with a flick of its tail, the little golden dragon appeared in front of Xiao Bai.

Just as Xiao Bai was about to speak, several lightning seeds began to stir within his body, like children who wanted to eat snacks but weren't allowed to.

Releasing the suppression, four different colored, lightning-infused orbs shot out, swirling around Xiao Bai a few times before soaring into the sky and heading straight for the clouds.

"Xiao Yi!" Upon seeing this, the little golden dragon was overjoyed and, ignoring Xiao Bai, rushed forward.

In an instant, several figures of different colors disappeared into the clouds.

"!" Xiao Bai.

These heartless little brats forget their father as soon as they get food!

Here, he can't act like these guys, running amok!

They are themselves lightning, and they thrive here, completely unharmed.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This novel was first published on 6=9+Book_Bar.

But he is different; he is made of flesh and blood and does not possess the Thunder Seed. He must be extremely careful, since he currently only has the cultivation of a six-star Dou Ling.

Xiao Bai looked around and felt the intensity of the lightning that was constantly falling around him.

"Just as the Grand Elder said, even this weakest attack is comparable in power to a peak Dou Wang!"

Xiao Bai carefully avoided the areas where the lightning was concentrated. Right outside the valley, he chose a corner where the mountain wall was recessed, and sat cross-legged.

The mountain walls here have been eroded by lightning over the years and have gradually been assimilated by the lightning attribute, so they are not afraid of being shattered by the lightning falling from the sky.

Just be careful of the occasional lightning bolts that streak across the valley; even a single wisp of lightning from a thick pillar is powerful enough to give Xiao Bai a real headache right now.

However, given Xiao Bai's spiritual level, it's not a big problem that he could sense it in advance.

As for entering the valley, with our current strength, we shouldn't even think about it. Even if a Dou Huang expert were to enter from a distance using his soul power, he would likely perish.

It can block one or two attacks, but it can't withstand countless attacks. After all, this place is filled with lightning-attribute energy, and other energies are very thin. Even a Dou Huang's Dou Qi is limited.

"Let's raise our cultivation to the Dou Wang level here first. With the abundant lightning attribute energy here, I believe it won't be long before we meet the fifth lightning seed!" Xiao Bai slowly closed his eyes, circulated his cultivation technique, and began to enter a state of cultivation.

He had long anticipated the gathering of the Five Elements Thunder Seeds, because in any cultivation system, the gathering of the Five Elements represents the pinnacle of Dao and Dharma.

Inner courtyard.

A pavilion on the east side.

"Moon, come with me quickly!"

A petite woman, dressed in a pale yellow dress, with slanted eyebrows that pointed straight upwards, exuding a rather heroic air, pushed open a door and strode in.

"Mulan, can't you knock before entering my room?" A cool, slightly helpless voice said from inside the room.

"Hehe. Don't worry about the details!" Mu Lan, the woman in the pale yellow dress, waved her hand, her eyes darting around.

"When are you going to change your carefree and irresponsible nature?" A woman came out of the house and scolded softly.

The woman wore a silver dress, was tall and slender, with a slightly thin face, but was a beautiful face with fair skin and exquisite features. What was most surprising was her waist-length hair, which was a rare silver-white color.

Her long silver hair paired with a silver dress made her look exceptionally aloof, and the aura she exuded gave people the feeling that she was someone to be admired from afar and not to be touched.

"Alright! I'll definitely be more careful next time!" Mu Lan stepped forward, took the silver-haired woman's arm, and said with a smile, "Now come with me!"

"Where to?" the silver-haired woman asked curiously.

"Zixiao is hiring!"

"Zixiao? Is that the faction founded by that new sixth-grade alchemist?"

"Yes!" Mu Lan nodded, pulling the woman along, "Let's hurry! Otherwise it'll be too late!"

But noticing that the person beside him was not moving, he looked over in confusion.

"Weren't you going to build 'Moon Spirit' with me? You've betrayed me so quickly?" The silver-haired woman looked at her speechlessly.

"Alas! I'm afraid we can't rebuild Moon Spirit!" Mu Lan sighed, walked to the table, sat down, and lay on it listlessly.

Why?

"It's all because of that Xiao Bai guy. Everyone in the inner courtyard is saying he's a womanizer, and a lot of female students have run off to him!"

"!" The silver-haired woman was speechless for a moment. After a long pause, she looked at the woman at the table and said irritably, "Then why did you go over there so eagerly!"

"I can't help it! Being a sixth-grade alchemist is just too appealing!"

"!"

The silver-haired woman wanted to kill her. What kind of best friend was this? She went to deliver the package herself, but she actually wanted to drag her along.

New student area.

Inside a new attic.

"Bang!"

Xun'er sat at the head of a table, slamming her jade-like hand hard on the table, her eyes filled with anger.

"Who spread the rumor?"

"There's no way to investigate! This was first reported from the outer courtyard!" Mu Chuan shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Someone must have seen that our 'Purple Cloud' is currently at its peak, but doesn't dare to target us openly, so they have to resort to some underhanded methods!" Lin Yan said after pondering for a moment.

"Um, Xun'er, what should we do about those female students blocking the way outside?" Xu Su asked cautiously.

"Do as required!" Xun'er waved her little hand and said, "We'll recruit ten fighting spirits. Those who perform well will be treated equally, regardless of gender!"

"Okay!" Everyone nodded, and seeing that nothing was wrong, they left.

"Alright, Xun'er, it's not a big deal. Xiaobai doesn't care. Why get angry?" Little Fairy Doctor gently advised with a smile from the side.

"Alas, Xian'er, you have a long and arduous road ahead of you!" Xun'er said meaningfully, with a hint of sorrow.
