Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 2 Past Events

Early morning, Xiao Bai's courtyard.

Xiao Bai, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of multicolored light disappeared in his eyes.

"Five years have passed, it's finally full!"

Two years have passed since Xiao Yan caused him trouble. He is fifteen years old this year and has been in this world for a full ten years.

She woke up to find herself in a different world, where her adoptive parents had already passed away.

After learning what world he had come to, he began to cultivate. At the age of ten, he broke through to the ninth level of Dou Zhi Li, which shocked the Xiao family at the time. The elders believed that he had the potential to become a Dou Wang (Battle King) and that if he was properly nurtured, he might be able to restore the Xiao family to the glory days when the old patriarch was alive.

However, several years passed and his cultivation level remained unchanged, causing his family to gradually lose hope.

Their attention turned to Xiao Yan, another rising genius of the Xiao family, and he did not disappoint them.

He also possessed the power of a ninth-level Dou Zhe at the age of ten, and broke through to become a Dou Zhe at the age of eleven, rekindling the family's hopes.

Xiao Bai's reputation faded into obscurity, and he was rarely mentioned.

Xiao Bai didn't care about this. He knew his own situation. After breaking through to the ninth level of Dou Power, he was unable to condense a Qi vortex in his dantian.

Instead, it began to absorb large amounts of the five elements' fighting energy. This fighting energy no longer entered the dantian, but instead entered the five internal organs: wood entered the liver, fire entered the heart, earth entered the spleen, metal entered the lungs, and water entered the kidneys.

The Five Elements Battle Qi nourished his five internal organs and replenished his physical body, making his physique far surpass his Battle Qi cultivation. To this end, he even went to the Xiao family's library to find a low-level Yellow Rank body refining technique that no one cared about, in order to cover up his abnormality.

This is why Xiao Bai was able to easily defeat Xiao Yan, a two-star Dou Zhe.

At the Fighter stage, one cannot release their fighting spirit, and even when using fighting techniques, they rely entirely on their fists and feet. However, Body Cultivators prefer to solve problems with their fists and feet.

Today marks five years since Xiao Bai broke through to the ninth level of Dou Qi. His five internal organs have fully absorbed the five elements of Dou Qi, and he now feels that he can fight anyone below the level of Dou Shi with his physical body alone.

After getting up and stretching his limbs, Xiao Bai checked his physical condition and nodded in satisfaction.

"Next, I'll prepare to try breaking through again. This time, the broken talisman shouldn't suppress me, right?"

Xiao Bai harbored resentment towards the talisman. He had a car and a house, and his career was somewhat successful, yet it had brought him to this familiar yet strange world without warning.

Fortunately, they arrived at the Xiao family's residence, which is relatively safe for now. If they had gone to a precarious environment, they might have been killed long ago.

And so be it. Xiao Bai is a person who takes things as they come. He didn't have any attachments in his past life, so starting a journey to another world seems like a good idea. But it's frustrating that he can't break through his limits. If it weren't for the talisman's suppression, he might already be close to becoming a Great Dou Master.

Reaching the cabinet, Xiao Bai took out a small box, placed it on the desk, and opened it with a key. Inside the box was a piece of bright yellow soft silk, on which were two white jade bottles.

Looking at the jade bottle in the box, Xiao Bai seemed to see again the girl who was usually like a lotus flower, pure and elegant, but always chattering in front of him.

"Brother Xiao Bai, don't worry about what they say. I believe you will regain your former glory!"

"Brother Xiao Bai, this is Qi Gathering Powder, which can help someone break through to the Dou Zhe level. Take it. If one isn't enough, use two. If two aren't enough, use three. If it's still not enough, I'll give you more. You can't refuse!"

"Brother Xiao Bai, don't worry, you will definitely succeed!"

"Brother Xiao Bai, it's okay if you haven't broken through yet. You have to trust Xun'er; Xun'er will find a way to help you!"

"Ugh!"

Sighing, Xiao Bai thought, "Don't underestimate this girl just because she's young. She's incredibly skilled, having reached the point where she can defeat a opponent without using any moves. I feel like I'm doomed to never escape her clutches."

When Xiao Bai read the original novel, he felt that Xun'er was too perfect, so perfect that it seemed unreal.

But through these years of getting to know each other, this girl has devoted her whole heart to him. Apart from hiding her background from him, she has nothing to hide from him. Xiao Bai feels very good. No one can refuse such a girl.

So when Xiao Yan caused him trouble three times, Xiao Bai only felt annoyed but didn't dislike him. If it weren't for him, he might not have had the chance to win the girl's heart.

I still remember it was the second year after Xiao Bai transmigrated, when he was seven years old.

That day, Xiao Bai broke through to the fourth stage of Dou Qi in the back mountain. He returned too late and, as he passed by a courtyard, he saw a short figure sneaking around and climbing through a window.

Then he shouted loudly, which startled the figure so much that it fell out of the window. The people inside were also awakened and came out of the room.

Xiao Bai looked closely and recognized Xiao Xun'er, who had recently visited the Xiao family. Then, as if remembering something, he looked at the short figure still lying on the ground and realized it was indeed Xiao Yan.

Xiao Xun'er stood at the door, her eyes indifferent. She first looked at Xiao Bai, who was standing not far away, then at Xiao Yan, who was getting up from under the window. Then she looked at the open window, as if she understood something. Then her gaze towards Xiao Yan gradually changed, as if she were looking at a thief or a pervert.

At this moment, Xiao Yan stood up. Looking at Xiao Xun'er's strange gaze, Xiao Yan's face first turned pale, then gradually turned red, and then his ears and neck also turned red. He wanted to say something but couldn't say it. He just glared at Xiao Bai hatefully and then ran away.

In the following years, Xiao Bai didn't see Xiao Yan come looking for trouble, and thought he had forgotten about it. Who knew that after this guy broke through to the ninth level of Dou Zhi Li at the age of ten, he rushed over to challenge him to a duel.

He returned home bruised and battered, cursing as he left.

"You have no sportsmanship, bullying a newly promoted ninth-dan Dou Zhe! I'll come back for you once I break through to Dou Zhe!"

This left Xiao Bai speechless. He never expected Xiao Yan to be like this. How old was this guy when he transmigrated? He might think he's mature, but look at the things he does in the family. Sometimes he's just a complete brat.

If you say he's immature, this guy can be quite shameless at times, saying things like, "Wait until I break through to become a Dou Zhe and come beat me up with a Dou Power level nine." He doesn't have any of the youthful, hot-blooded enthusiasm of a teenager.

A year later, Xiao Yan broke through to the Dou Zhe level, and once again left Xiao Bai's courtyard with a bruised and swollen face, cursing all the while.

Including the time he was kicked away two years ago, this is the third time.

Sometimes Xiao Bai actually admired this guy. He was indeed the protagonist of destiny, with a resolute personality and a stubborn streak. Well, his Dao heart was very stable.

However, this guy is no longer as spirited as he was two years ago. Not long after he caused trouble for Xiao Bai for the third time, news of the fall of the Xiao family's genius spread like wildfire. He has fallen from a two-star Dou Zhe all the way to his current level three Dou power.

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai shook his head. This guy is a transmigrator, a chosen one, and a cheat code. Compared to him, he is still lacking a protagonist's halo. He should worry more about himself!

Putting aside his thoughts, Xiao Bai picked up the two jade bottles and walked out. What? Storage rings? No, don't you see that even the Xiao family, one of the eight ancient clans, only has clan leaders and elders with them? This shows how precious storage rings are on the Dou Qi Continent. How could an orphan like Xiao Bai have one?

He had a premonition that he might succeed this time as he went to the back mountain to try and break through his limits.

If someone breaks through the talisman here and causes a big scene, wouldn't that expose them? You know, the Xiao family has two lewd guys now, one sucking people's life essence and the other secretly spying on them. They are truly the Doupo version of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick.
