Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 45 is finally here.

After wandering around for ten days, Xiao Bai was now standing on a cliff with nothing below.

"Xiao Bai, you haven't been fooled by that Heavenly Silkworm, have you?" Yao Lao was no longer as calm as he had been at the beginning. He didn't have much time and needed to get back to guide Xiao Yan as soon as possible!

If Xiao Bai is still not satisfied after looking at the locations on the map and keeps wasting his time in the Monster Mountain Range, then he's a complete dud.

"This can't be!" Xiao Bai was starting to feel uneasy. Could his luck be that bad?

I took out the map and looked at it; there were only three cliffs circled on it that I hadn't visited yet.

Xiao Bai made up his mind that if he still couldn't find these three, he would stop looking. After all, the only thing that would be useful to him was the flying combat technique.

Flying combat skills are only a temporary transition; they're basically useless after reaching the Battle King level. As for the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Diagram, it's not of much use to him either.

"Don't worry, senior. These are the last three. If we still can't find them, then we'll just set off to get the strange fire!" Xiao Bai assured Yao Lao.

"That's good. By the way, what's in there? You're so interested!"

The old alchemist was now genuinely curious. In his view, Xiao Bai was the kind of person who was indifferent to many things, like the strange fire, which ordinary people would cherish, even if he wasn't an alchemist.

But Xiao Bai was different. Even though he traded some things with the strange fire, he still felt that the kid didn't care much about the strange fire.

Could there be something more precious than the strange fire among them?

"Just a flying combat technique!" Xiao Bai said indifferently.

"Flying combat technique? What do you need that for? Is it some kind of precious combat technique?" Yao Lao asked in confusion.

Flying combat techniques might be very tempting for other attributes, but they shouldn't be very tempting for lightning and wind attributes, as these two attributes are top-tier speed users once they reach the King of Fighters level.

"It's a fighting technique that allows a person to fly even at the Dou Zhe stage. It's not particularly precious; it's just rare!" Xiao Bai denied.

"What? You came all this way just for something like this and wasted your time?" The old apothecary was a little shocked.

"Does the senior have one?" Xiao Bai glanced at him sideways.

"No, but..." The old apothecary was a little unsure what to say. He didn't have this thing not because it was precious, but because he hadn't thought much of it before. What would he do with such a thing? Just take up space?

"Sigh! Never mind, never mind, go ahead and look for it if you want!" Yao Lao suddenly remembered that before he could fly, he had envied those who could fly.

It seems like a long time ago, so long ago that he had forgotten that yearning for flight he had as a boy.

Only then did he realize that although Xiao Bai usually acted maturely, he was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man. He was no different from other teenagers in his longing for the ability to fly.

Xiao Bai glanced at Yao Lao, wondering what had gotten into the old man so suddenly. He looked at him with a kind expression, and Xiao Bai seemed to see some kind of compassion in his eyes.

Xiao Bai looked at Yao Lao warily. What was this old geezer up to?

"What kind of look is that, kid?" Yao Lao was a little dissatisfied.

"Old man, what kind of look is that?" Xiao Bai retorted irritably.

"You brat, you don't even call me 'senior' anymore, huh?" Old Yao stroked his beard and said fiercely.

"When that old man tricked me, why didn't he think about the fact that you're a senior?" Xiao Bai rolled his eyes, gritting his teeth as he recalled what happened last time.

The two bickered and argued all the way as they made their way to the next cliff.

"This is the last one!" Xiao Bai murmured, looking at the last cliff in the distance.

If he doesn't have this yet, then this opportunity is not meant for him.

"Xiao Bai, kid, do you think it's good or bad luck that you were the last one to be found?" Yao Lao teased with a chuckle from inside the ring.

"I've decided, if we can't find it, we'll stay in the Monster Mountain Range until we do!"

Seeing the old man teasing him, Xiao Bai said fiercely.

come!Hurt each other!

He was seething with anger! If he found it in the last place, he felt he would be incredibly frustrated, since he was the one who planned the route on the map.

"It doesn't matter! It's Xiao Yan who's being held back anyway. Although I'm his teacher, he still called you Brother Bai. Can you really bear to watch him practice those low-level techniques from the Xiao family?"

The old doctor floated out, looking like a master, and said leisurely.

"Heh~" Xiao Bai sneered, thinking he didn't know about the "Burning Technique"? What's with the act of being calm in front of him?

The old man desperately needs someone to successfully cultivate so he can refine a body for resurrection! How can he stay here forever?

Don't be fooled by his calm and collected demeanor and his nonchalant words. If he were to actually stay cooped up in the Monster Mountain Range, he would be the first one to jump up and down in frustration.

However, Xiao Bai didn't reveal it, as the old man might get angry if he did. This could be considered his biggest secret.

"Let's go! This is the last one. We'll leave once we've finished searching!" As soon as he finished speaking, lightning flashed beneath Xiao Bai's feet, and he covered several meters in a single step, heading towards the cliff.

The old apothecary watched his retreating figure from behind, a faint smile on his face, and then floated after him.

"Hehe~ It really is here!"

After Xiao Bai climbed to the top of the last cliff, he didn't even need to use his soul power to scan it before discovering the cave in the cliff face.

The cliff face was steep, covered with old trees and shrubs. There was a small platform on the cliff face, hidden by a horizontal log, that could only accommodate two people.

Through the gaps in the trees, a dark hole could be seen behind the platform.

Xiao Bai looked at the cave with a complicated expression, somewhat doubting his decision. Could his luck really be this bad? The only correct answer was reserved for the last one!

"Huh? There really is one, but Xiao Bai, it seems someone got here before you!"

The old doctor floated to Xiao Bai's side and said.

Xiao Bai frowned upon hearing this. He didn't even need to use his soul power to scan the cave to know that there was someone inside, but this person didn't seem to be very strong.

Because one end of a rope was tied to a crooked tree on the cliff, and the other end was below the cliff, on a small platform in front of the cave.

"Is it her?" Xiao Bai thought to himself.

However, he was a little puzzled as to why she had arrived here so early. Thinking of this, Xiao Bai prepared to use his soul power to check the situation inside the cave.

Suddenly, a figure darted out of the cave, looking around in a panic. After confirming what it was, the figure carefully picked up a rope from the platform at the cave entrance and hurriedly pulled itself up.

Xiao Bai looked at the figure with a playful expression and a smile on his lips.

Seemingly in no hurry, he shook his robes, sat cross-legged by the rope at the edge of the cliff, and leisurely waited for the people below to climb up.

The old apothecary found Xiao Bai's expression rather strange. It didn't seem like he was about to rob the person below, but rather like he was waiting to see an old friend. Could it be that this kid knows the person below?
