Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 530 Profound Yin and Pure Yang Thunder Elemental Power

"Damn it, who is that person?"

Wang Yan's face was ashen.

As a member of one of the four great families of the Great Yan Dynasty, he had never seen anyone so audacious as to rob his Wang, Lin, and Qin families at the same time.

He touched his empty waist; the storage bag that used to hang there was nowhere to be found.

The storage bag contained the spoils of his recent trip to the ancient tomb, as well as his previous savings.

Now it's all gone!

Lin Langtian and Qin Shi also looked grim.

Before the three could even see each other's faces clearly, they were severely injured in one move and their storage bags were stolen.

However, the moment Ling Qingzhu arrived, the three of them immediately changed their expressions.

Wang Yan quickly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, enduring the excruciating pain from his broken ribs, and struggled to get up, trying to straighten his back so that he wouldn't look so disheveled.

Lin Langtian and Qin Shi, who were standing to the side, quickly wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths, endured the discomfort, straightened their robes, and forced gentle smiles on their faces, appearing calm and composed.

It was as if they weren't the ones who had just been beaten until they vomited blood and had their storage bags stolen.

Seeing Lin Langtian and the others trying their best to maintain their composure in front of Ling Qingzhu, Lin Dong almost burst out laughing.

He silently gave Senior Xiao Bai a big thumbs up.

"If it weren't for the senior, how could Lin Dong have witnessed the demeanor of the disciples of the four great families of this dynasty?"

These proud and arrogant people, who are usually so high and mighty, are now in such a sorry state, and still have to put on a show in front of the beauty.

This is truly—a great relief!

"Ahem—Miss Qingzhu, I just saw you come out of the main hall. Do you know anyone who didn't have the slightest fluctuation of Yuan energy?"

Lin Langtian coughed lightly, a gentle smile appearing on his face, and asked in a mild voice, "If you know, please tell me, young lady. I would be extremely grateful!"

This passageway leads directly to the main hall of the tomb, and the light is dim.

They had just seen a figure emerge from the main tomb hall and assumed that someone had gotten there first, so they prepared to question him.

No sooner had they finished shouting than they saw the figure turn into a wisp of green smoke and disappear from the spot.

Then came several muffled thuds, as if a mountain had struck his chest hard, and the sound of bones breaking echoed.

By the time they realized what had happened, not only were the people gone, but even their storage bags had vanished.

The whole process was lightning fast; they didn't even have a chance to resist.

But what puzzled them was that the person clearly had no Yuan energy fluctuations, so how could he be so strong?

Could it be some kind of special concealment method?

"Know----"

Ling Qingzhu nodded, her voice cool and clear.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian and the other two immediately showed anticipation in their eyes.

They were eager to know the identity of the mysterious person.

But Ling Qingzhu's next words made the three of them freeze instantly.

"But I don't want to say—"

Ling Qingzhu changed her tone, becoming indifferent.

She glanced at the three people, then ignored them and slowly walked out of the tomb.

Given her status, the only reason she speaks politely to these people is because of the Huangpu family.

Now you want to get news about Xiao Bai from her?

Even if someone of your senior's strength might not care about these people's revenge, but they—

Are they worthy?

The three men's faces froze, then instantly turned a deep liver color.

They never expected that Ling Qingzhu, who was usually so easy to talk to, would be so cold and ruthless.

As the pride of the Great Yan Dynasty, they had a smooth life since childhood and were admired by thousands. How could they have ever been publicly humiliated like this?

However, Ling Qingzhu has a mysterious background, great strength, and the Huangpu family as her backing, so they really didn't dare to press her too much.

He could only watch helplessly as Ling Qingzhu's figure disappeared at the end of the passage, feeling extremely frustrated.

Seeing the three of them looking so frustrated, Lin Dong's shoulders trembled as he forced himself not to laugh out loud.

But soon, he stopped laughing.

"Boy, I just saw you come out of the main hall too. Tell me, who was that person?"

Wang Yan's face was grim, his gaze fixed on Lin Dong, and his tone was unfriendly.

He dared not press Ling Qingzhu for answers. "Can't I even ask a mere insect at the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan realm?"

Pick the softest persimmons; this is an age-old truth.

Seeing his unfriendly tone, Lin Dong shrugged: "I don't know."

As he spoke, he was about to walk past the group and head outside.

He has no interest in wasting his time here.

"stop!"

Wang Yan shouted and blocked his way.

Qin Shi and Lin Langtian also surrounded them, forming a triangle that blocked Lin Dong in the middle.

Lin Dong remained expressionless, but inwardly he sneered.

Sure enough, these guys are bullies who prey on the weak.

Unable to stop his senior, he was brutally beaten on the spot.

He was humiliated on the spot by Ling Qingzhu and didn't dare to utter a single word.

When it comes to him, he starts to get arrogant.

However, he was not intimidated at all.

If these three people in front of him hadn't been injured, he would have been quite powerless today.

But nowadays—

Lin Dong's gaze swept over the three pale-faced, weak-breathed individuals, and a cold, sharp smile curled at the corner of his lips.

Hehe—his golden halberd was not without its advantages!

Just as the tension was about to escalate...

Outside the ancient tomb.

Ling Qingzhu stood atop a solitary peak, her white robes fluttering and her black hair dancing in the wind.

As dawn broke and the sky turned a pale white, the morning glow painted half the sky red.

She looked around, a hint of disappointment flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Very well—if fate allows, we will meet again."

Ling Qingzhu sighed softly and didn't linger.

Her figure was ethereal, like a fairy descending to earth, and she drifted away, quickly disappearing into the mountains.

Meanwhile, in the dense forest dozens of miles away from here.

Xiao Bai was speechless. He lightly touched the branches with his toes and leaped several meters away.

He was agile, moving through the forest like a cheetah, but his speed was not exactly fast.

"Indeed, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."

Xiao Bai shook his head and sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness.

He couldn't remember the last time he had traveled on foot like this.

In the Dou Qi Continent, once one's cultivation reaches the Dou Zong level, one can fly through the air; once one reaches the Dou Zun level, one can even tear through space and travel thousands of miles in an instant.

After reaching the Soul Emperor Realm, he could instantly travel anywhere, whether it was tens of thousands or millions of miles, with a sweep of his divine sense or a thought.

"Never before have I been so destitute."

"I should have brought Xiao Jin with me!"

Xiao Bai looked around and saw a lush, desolate landscape.

He already regretted not asking Ling Qingzhu for a map.

Although he knew this was the Tianyan Mountain Range, he had absolutely no idea where the nearest city was or how far away it was.

"I need to find a place to settle down first, and start practicing as soon as I've summarized the techniques!"

Xiao Bai pondered in his heart.

The most urgent task is to create a cultivation method that suits me, and then begin practicing it.

Without strength, even traveling is difficult in this world, let alone anything else.

Just as he was deep in thought, a sharp cry rang out—!

A clear chime suddenly came from the sky.

Xiao Bai looked up and saw a giant, fiery red bird swooping down!

The giant bird had a wingspan of three or four zhang (approximately 13-14 meters), its entire body was fiery red, and its feathers shone like burning flames in the morning light.

With its sharp eyes, hooked beak, and sharp claws, it was clearly a ferocious monster.

At this moment, it opened its claws and reached out to grab Xiao Bai!

They clearly saw him as prey!

"Well done!"

Xiao Bai was not surprised at all; on the contrary, his eyes lit up with delight.

His mount has arrived!

Although I don't know what kind of bird it is, its size makes it more than capable of carrying me in flight.

It's better than walking on foot!

Soon, a giant bird soared into the sky, but its flight posture was still somewhat wobbly, clearly indicating its reluctance.

Xiao Bai stood firmly on the bird's back, stomped his foot slightly, and laughed, "You blockhead! If this were before, there would have been plenty of magical beasts wanting to be my mount. You, a mere Yuan Dan realm demon, wouldn't even have a chance to get a turn. And yet you're complaining!"

"唳————"

The giant bird tilted its head, its clear eyes glancing at the human on its back, a hint of resentment and pride flashing across its face in a human-like manner.

"Oh—it even has some intelligence."

Xiao Bai stroked his chin with interest and chuckled, "Don't worry, once you take me to the nearest human city, you'll be free."

"You'll definitely get your share of the benefits then."

The giant bird seemed to understand, let out a happy cry, turned around, and flew off in another direction with Xiao Bai.

"...

—

Xiao Bai's face darkened.

Looking back in the direction we had come from, the mountains stretched endlessly, and the roars of beasts echoed everywhere.

"You bastard, you weren't planning to take me to the lair of monsters, were you?"

He looked at the giant bird at his feet with suspicion.

The giant bird seemed somewhat guilty and dared not turn around, but instead increased its flight speed.

About half an hour later, a small human town gradually came into view.

It's more like a small town than a city.

The city walls were low and the houses were simple, but it was bustling with people.

The town is built on a hillside, close to the Tianyan Mountains, and surrounded by dense forests.

"This is----"

Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback; the scene before him gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

Green Mountain Town, nestled at the foot of the Monster Mountain Range —

Unexpectedly, the first place I stayed after arriving in Tianxuan Continent was also a small town built against the mountain.

"I wonder how Xian'er and the others are doing—"

Xiao Bai sighed softly, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

Their disappearance that day was so sudden; Xun'er, Cailin, and Yun'er must have been very worried.

And Qing'er—

However, he trusted them.

He also needs to recover his strength as soon as possible and find a way back.

"It's the Fiery Spirit Eagle—!"

"Run! Monsters are attacking the city!"

Just then, a terrified shout came from below, interrupting Xiao Bai's thoughts.

He came to his senses and realized that the large bird beneath his feet was swooping down toward the city gate.

Chaos reigned at the city gate; everyone was terrified and fled in all directions.

Clearly, they mistook the giant bird beneath their feet for a monster attacking the city.

Xiao Bai swept his soul power over the area and was immediately speechless.

He wondered why the guy under his feet was so arrogant, daring to charge directly into a human city.

It turns out that the highest Yuan Power cultivator in this town was only at the Lesser Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm, and was no match for it at all.

No wonder it brought itself here; this coward probably wouldn't dare go to any bigger cities.

"You're certainly cautious!"

Xiao Bai was both amused and exasperated.

He leaped off the large bird and landed steadily on the ground.

Then, he flipped his hand and took out some Pure Yuan Pills, tossing them to the Flaming Spirit Eagle: "This is your reward. You can leave now."

Pure Yuan Pills are the hard currency of the Tianxuan Continent and a cultivation resource. They contain pure Yuan Qi and are also useful to demonic beasts.

After seeing the Fiery Spirit Eagle swallow the Pure Yuan Pill in one gulp, Xiao Bai ignored it and walked straight into the town.

He needed to find an inn to settle down before he could begin studying the martial arts techniques.

But after taking only a few steps, he felt a shadow behind him.

Looking back, he saw the Fiery Spirit Eagle following closely behind, its eyes fixed on the hand that had just held the Pure Essence Pill.

'

Xiao Bai was speechless.

Sure enough, what unwillingness, what pride?

That's just because they didn't give enough!

This guy has tasted the sweetness and wants to freeload off him.

"Whatever you want."

Xiao Bai glanced at it and then ignored it.

Amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, he found an inn that appeared to be fairly clean.

The innkeeper was an elderly man in his fifties. When he saw the Fiery Spirit Eagle behind Xiao Bai, his legs trembled with fear.

"Sir/Madam, what brings you here?"

"I need a superior room at the hotel."

Xiao Bai said calmly, "This bird is mine; it won't hurt anyone."

"In addition, prepare some meals and deliver them to the room in the morning and evening."

He threw out some Pure Yuan Pills as payment for the room and meals.

The shopkeeper took the Pure Essence Pill and calmed down a bit, nodding hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes—please follow me, sir."

Led by the innkeeper, Xiao Bai arrived at a superior room on the third floor.

The room was fairly spacious, divided into two sections: an outer room with tables and chairs, and an inner room that served as the bedroom.

The Flaming Spirit Eagle also entered, its towering body almost filling half of the outer room.

"Sir/Madam, is there anything else you require?"

The shopkeeper asked tremblingly.

"That's all. Don't disturb me except to arrange meals."

Xiao Bai waved his hand.

The shopkeeper, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, fled the room as if he were escaping.

Xiao Bai watched his retreating figure and chuckled to himself.

The reason he didn't choose to go into the wild is because his current body needs to eat.

Although one can abstain from grains after reaching a high level of cultivation, he currently has no cultivation and still needs to rely on food to replenish his energy.

Now that he has settled in, he can begin to study cultivation techniques.

"Since you've come along, you'll protect me outside. You'll get plenty of Pure Yuan Pills."

Xiao Bai then took out some Pure Yuan Pills and tossed them to the Blazing Flame Spirit Eagle.

Although this guy is greedy, having him guarding the outside can save some trouble.

The Fiery Spirit Eagle accepted the Pure Essence Pill, a hint of joy flashing in its eyes.

Obediently walked to the door and crawled down, beginning to absorb the Yuan energy from the Pure Yuan Pill. Its fiery red feathers glowed faintly, like a burning flame.

Xiao Bai then went into the inner room and closed the door.

He sat on the bed, took out the jade slip from his bosom, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"This girl is quite honest; she even gave me her own cultivation manuals, the 'Taiqing Technique' and the 'Azure Lotus Myriad Swords Technique'."

Although the Taiqing Manual only has a basic section, it is of great reference value to him.

High-level cultivation techniques not only make one's Yuan Power abundant, but also transform Yuan Power into special Yuan Power, which is more powerful and carries a special artistic conception.

For example, the "Pure Netherworld Yuan Power" cultivated through the "Taiqing Jue".

There is also the power of desolation that Lin Dong comprehended from the Great Desolation Stele.

Xiao Bai put down the jade slip and fell into deep thought.

The techniques he wants to create must also possess this characteristic.

Not only must one be able to rapidly improve their cultivation level, but one must also be able to transform their Yuan Power into a special kind of Thunder Yuan Power.

Xiao Bai's eyes flashed, and he began to deduce the possibilities in his mind.

The cultivation system of Tianxuan Continent progresses from absorbing Yin Sha Qi in the Earth Origin Realm, to absorbing Yang Gang Qi in the Heaven Origin Realm, and finally to the Yuan Dan Realm where Yin and Yang harmonize and condense the Yuan Dan.

"The Thunder of Exorcising Evil is extremely yang and strong, containing the meaning of sacred purification."

"The God-Slaying Demon Lightning is extremely Yin and evil, containing the meaning of slaughter and destruction."

"If we use the Demon-Slaying Thunder to correspond to the Yang Qi, and the God-Slaying Thunder to correspond to the Yin Qi—"

"Combining the two should create a kind of Xuan Yin Zheng Yang Thunder Element Power."

Xiao Bai thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible.

Moreover, this dimension is inhabited by otherworldly demons.

The Demon-Slaying Thunder is perfectly suited to suppress evil and malevolent things.

After a long silence, he smiled slightly and said, "I believe they will be very interested in the supremely powerful and yang-like Demon-Slaying Thunder."
