Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 554 Hundred Courts Mountain

"hehe----"

As Xiao Bai finished speaking, ripples spread across the void, and an aged laugh echoed from within: "As expected of a prodigy who has survived eight tribulations of wind and thunder, your senses are so sharp!"

As they were speaking, a slightly gaunt figure slowly came into view.

The newcomer had a thin face with three long wisps of beard and wore a faded coarse cloth robe.

At first glance, he looks like an ordinary old man from the countryside, nothing special.

However, upon closer observation, one can discover that there is a subtle glint in his eyes as they open and close, and although his aura is restrained, it gives people a feeling of unfathomable depth.

"You've reached the Lesser Completion of the Life Profound Realm, and you already show some signs of Great Completion. It seems you must be from some super sect?"

Xiao Bai looked the newcomer up and down, and although his last sentence was a question, his tone was extremely certain.

He knew, of course, who the old man in the rough robe was, but he didn't point it out directly.

Wu Dao, the deputy hall master of the Desolate Hall of the Dao Sect, is a minor master of the Life Profound Realm.

In the original story, it was he who introduced Lin Dong to the Dao Sect.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's eyes trembled, and his heart was filled with shock.

He never expected that this old man, who seemed to have no Yuan energy fluctuations at all, was actually a Shengxuan Realm expert!

Moreover, he is already at the Lesser Completion stage of the Life Profound Realm, and is about to enter the Greater Completion stage!

With such strength, in the Great Yan Dynasty, it would be enough to sweep away everything, and no one would be able to defeat it!

"You are very clever—I am indeed a member of a super sect."

Wu Dao nodded with a smile, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He never expected that Xiao Bai could see through his cultivation level at a glance!

The Nirvana Realm expert could discern his true strength with just one glance!

Not only that————

Looking at Xiao Bai, who stood with his hands behind his back and a calm expression, Wu Dao felt a strange sensation welling up inside him.

The calm and dignified demeanor emanating from this young man gave him the illusion of seeing his own sect leader for a moment!

That look, that posture, that tone of voice—

This is not how a young person should behave!

Wu Dao has lived for hundreds of years, seen countless geniuses, and also met many high-ranking members of sects.

Of all the people I've ever met, only those sect leaders who command a super sect possess such a calm, unfathomable demeanor.

What made him even more uneasy was that when he met Xiao Bai's deep eyes, he couldn't help but feel a strange tension rising within him!

"Ahem—so this is the Azure Dragon Palace?"

Wu Dao coughed lightly, subtly shifting his gaze away from Xiao Bai, instead surveying his surroundings. His tone was tinged with感慨 (a sense of感慨, a feeling of mixed emotions, including regret and a touch of melancholy). "I've always been quite curious about this place. I've passed through the ancient battlefield several times over the years, but I've never been able to get in."

In the past, with the phantom of the Azure Pheasant present in the Azure Dragon Palace, he was unable to enter at all.

Now, with someone to carry on the legacy, the illusory figure vanished, and he finally entered.

After a moment of reflection, Wu Dao noticed that none of the three responded, and the atmosphere became somewhat quiet, which made him feel awkward.

He glanced at Little Mink and Lin Dong secretly.

That day, the demon sable was one thing—after all, it was one of the four great demon clans, with high standards, so it was normal for it to be neither humble nor arrogant in the face of people from a super sect.

But what's going on with this little guy who has undergone the Triple Nirvana?

Hearing that he's from a top-tier sect, why are you still unmoved?!

Wu Dao was puzzled, but he didn't show it on his face.

"May I ask which dynasty you young friends come from, and whether you have a sect you favor?"

Helpless, Wu Dao had no choice but to speak again and take the initiative to steer the conversation.

Although he was speaking to all three of them at the same time, his attention was focused on Xiao Bai.

That's his main goal!

Although the Hundred Dynasties War is a grand event for super sects to select disciples, the Nine Yuan Nirvana Realm, plus the Nine Seal Heavenly Talisman Master—

Such talent has never been seen in the Hundred Dynasties War!

Once exposed to the eyes of other sects, the other super sects will probably vie to win them over, and may even fight each other!

He wanted to sound out Xiao Bai's opinion first, to see if there was any chance to bring him into the Dao Sect.

"Xiao Bai came from the Great Yan Dynasty."

Xiao Bai's eyes flashed, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips: "If you have a sect in mind—I've heard that the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace is quite good."

Upon hearing this, Wu Dao's eye twitched.

The Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace?!

That's a sect that's predominantly female; although it does accept male disciples, the proportion is extremely small.

Moreover, the cultivation methods of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace are more yin-oriented and not very suitable for men to practice.

Why would this kid want to go to the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace?

Wu Dao was puzzled, but he didn't show it on his face. He turned to look at Lin Dong and Little Marten: "Where are you two young friends?"

"Lin Dong, Great Yan Dynasty, Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace."

"Lin Diao, Great Yan Dynasty, Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace."

The two spoke almost in unison, their tones identical.

After hearing this, Wu Dao's eye twitched again.

The two people behind them were clearly following the black-robed youth named Xiao Bai's words, meaning that which sect they went to depended entirely on the former's decision.

In other words, as long as Xiao Bai can be brought into the Dao Sect, these two incidental individuals will come along as well.

But the problem is—

Xiao Bai wants to go to the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace!

Wu Dao felt a surge of anxiety.

However, the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace —

and many more!

Suddenly, Wu Dao realized something, and a look of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

What's so great about the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace besides having a lot of women?

Its only advantage is that there are many beautiful women!

Could it be that...?

Wu Dao glanced at Xiao Bai with a peculiar look in his eyes, and a guess arose in his mind.

Could this guy be after the pretty girl?

Thinking of this, Wu Dao's eyes lit up and an idea came to him.

He smiled slightly, revealing a knowing look, and lowered his voice, saying, "Young friend, what is your impression of the Dao Sect?"

He paused, then leaned closer and said mysteriously, "I've heard that the daughter of the sect leader is exceptionally beautiful and talented, truly the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Xuan Region—"

"And he is not yet married."

Upon hearing this—

"————!" Xiao Bai.

"————!" Lin Dong.

"——————!" Little Mink.

All three of them fell silent.

Lin Dong's illusions about super sects shattered instantly.

Is this still the same aloof and otherworldly super sect?

Why does that sound like soliciting customers at a brothel?!

The little sable was silent for a moment, then spoke softly, "Does your sect leader know what you're saying?"

He simply couldn't imagine that someone from a super sect would recruit disciples in this way during the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield.

If this gets out, what will become of the Dao Sect's reputation?

"As long as young friend Xiao Bai joins the Dao Sect, I'll speak to the Sect Leader on his behalf!"

Wu Dao patted his thin chest, his tone righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he would risk everything if Xiao Bai agreed.

But he was secretly overjoyed.

Devouring the Ancestral Symbol, coupled with the talent of the Double Nines—Nine Yuan Nirvana Realm, Nine Seal Heavenly Symbol Master!

This is even more dazzling than Zhou Tong back then!

Zhou Tong was merely a genius with astonishing talent in cultivation, but the one before him was an unparalleled prodigy who cultivated both Yuan Power and Talisman Mastery!

If such a talent could be recruited into the Dao Sect, as long as he doesn't perish, the Dao Sect will surely gain another powerful figure in the next hundred years!

At that time, let alone the sect leader's daughter, even the sect leader himself—cough cough, we can't even think about that.

In short, as long as Xiao Bai is willing to join the Dao Sect, any conditions are negotiable!

Even if the sect leader finds out, what can he do to him?

They might even praise him for being efficient!

"We'll talk about your sect leader's daughter later."

Xiao Bai found it amusing to look at Wu Dao's "I'm here, nothing will happen" expression.

This old guy will stop at nothing to recruit people.

However, Xiao Bai did have some interest in the Dao Sect.

The Dao Sect definitely has a teleportation array to the Chaotic Demon Sea!

This is what Xiao Bai values ​​most!

"I'd like to know, if we choose the Dao Sect, is it possible to leave the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield now?"

Xiao Bai suppressed his smile and asked seriously.

If there weren't spatial coordinates leading to the Eastern Xuan Region, he wouldn't bother chatting idly with Wu Dao here.

Wouldn't it be better to just tear open space from the Azure Dragon Palace and leave?

The problem is that he only knows the spatial coordinates of the Great Yan Dynasty.

"Leave the battlefield of a hundred dynasties?"

Wu Dao was taken aback, somewhat confused as to why Xiao Bai wanted to leave now.

There are only about two months left until the end of the Hundred Dynasties War.

This amount of time is almost gone in the blink of an eye for cultivators, so why be in such a hurry?

He shook his head and explained, "This ancient battlefield space is special."

"When the eight super sects discovered this place, each sect wanted to occupy this space for themselves, and they fought each other for it, almost triggering a sect war."

"Finally, someone said that if this civil war continues, the Eastern Xuan Region will inevitably decline, giving foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage."

"After everyone calmed down, they discussed it together and decided to use this space as a training ground for selecting new disciples, which is the Hundred Dynasties War."

Wu Dao paused for a moment, then continued, "At that time, the eight sect leaders personally took action and arranged various methods to completely seal and transform this space."

"Therefore, apart from the one-way teleportation arrays of those dynasties in the Eastern Xuan Region, the only way to leave this place is through the spatial imprint of the Hundred Dynasties Mountain to travel from here to the Eastern Xuan Region."

Xiao Bai frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Sure enough.

This ancient battlefield was sealed by eight super sects, becoming a trial ground that can only be entered but not left.

The only exit is Baichao Mountain.

However, Baichao Mountain will not be open until the end of the Hundred Dynasties War.

"Do we really have to wait two months—?"

Xiao Bai pondered to himself.

Two months is neither a long nor a short time.

Normally, we would just wait.

But now—

He has enemies!

That bastard, the Soul Emperor, has already joined forces with the Demon Emperor.

We don't know the situation yet.

Soul Emperor was originally at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, just one step away from becoming a Dou Di.

Even though the Demon Emperor was suppressed by the plane, his strength was comparable to that of the Ancestral Realm!

If these two join forces, the consequences will be unimaginable!

He must improve his cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise, if the Demon Emperor were to break free of his seal prematurely because of the Soul Emperor—

That would be the end of us!

A Soul Emperor who has already taken a step closer to the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, plus a Demon Emperor who, even though suppressed by the plane, is still comparable to the Ancestral Realm—

What will he do then?

"Hyakuchō-yama-yō————"

Xiao Bai closed his eyes, and a powerful soul force swept out from the Azure Dragon Palace!

In an instant, his soul power spread like a tide, covering an area of ​​thousands of miles—

Soon, he discovered that in the middle of a wild forest, there stood an extremely majestic mountain.

The mountain peak is tens of thousands of feet high, completely black, like a pillar supporting the sky, piercing straight into the clouds.

The entire mountain was shrouded in a massive array, emanating powerful spatial fluctuations.

Several faint auras of the Profound Realm emanated from the mountaintop.

That must be Baichao Mountain.

"Who is spying on Baichao Mountain?!"

Just as Xiao Bai's soul force swept across Baichao Mountain, on the top of the mountain, in a palace, among several figures sitting cross-legged, a man with eyes flashing with divine light suddenly opened his eyes!

He sensed a powerful spiritual force spying on Baichao Mountain!

The man's expression darkened, and his immense spiritual power surged forth, colliding fiercely with the probing force!

"Om one"

The void instantly twisted, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable strain!

The two spiritual energies collided in the void, causing a violent shock!

The man's expression changed, a look of horror flashing in his eyes: "Such pure spiritual power!"

He felt that the moment his own spiritual power collided with that spreading spiritual power, it was like cotton hitting steel, offering absolutely no resistance!

His mental strength was easily crushed and defeated!

If the other party hadn't meant no harm and had only been probing, he probably would have been injured!

"Immortal Talisman Master Yao————"

Inside the Azure Dragon Palace, Xiao Bai slowly opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips: "The soul is not bad, but unfortunately the quality isn't great—"

The person whose spiritual energy collided with his just now had a total spiritual energy level of Immortal Talisman Master, equivalent to the late stage of the Spirit Realm in the Dou Qi Continent.

But the quality—is far from good.

Even though Xiao Bai's Emperor-level souls are only at the Heavenly Talisman Master level in total quantity, their quality is overwhelming.

"Six cultivators at the Life Profound Realm, and one Immortal Talisman Master—"

Xiao Bai chuckled softly.

The defensive strength of Baichao Mountain is quite good.

But—that's all there is to it.

With a swift movement, he vanished from the Azure Dragon Palace.

"Young friend! Wait a minute!"

Wu Dao froze the moment Xiao Bai released his soul power.

The intensity and range of that soul power were simply terrifying!

It should be noted that the Azure Dragon Palace is at least tens of thousands of miles away from Hundred Dynasty Mountain!

Xiao Bai's spiritual power was able to instantly traverse tens of thousands of miles to explore Baichao Mountain!

This has already surpassed the scope of a Celestial Talisman Master!

What shocked Wu Dao even more was that Xiao Bai was able to ignore the restrictions of the Azure Dragon Palace and teleport directly!

This spatial control is even more adept than his!

You must know that he is a minor master of the Life Profound Realm, and his understanding of space is already quite profound.

But Xiao Bai is only at the Nirvana Realm.

"No! He's not an ordinary Nirvana Realm cultivator!"

He suddenly realized the truth.

Nine-Yuan Nirvana Realm, plus Nine-Seal Heavenly Talisman Master, plus such terrifying mental power and spatial control—

Where is this Nirvana Realm?

This is clearly a monster disguised as Nirvana!

Seeing Xiao Bai disappear, Wu Dao immediately realized that the other party was going to Baichao Mountain!

"Young friend, let's talk this over! You have a bright future ahead of you, don't act impulsively!"

Wu Dao's expression changed drastically. He took a step and disappeared from the spot. Wu Dao hurriedly chased after him.

Baichao Mountain has envoys from several other super sects stationed there!

If Xiao Bai were to rush through like this, and anger those people, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Only Lin Dong and Xiao Diao remained in the hall.

The two exchanged a glance.

The little sable gestured with its eyes, a playful smile on its lips: "Want to watch the show? Want to go?"

Lin Dong nodded without hesitation: "Go!"

How could we miss such a grand event?

Moreover, he believed that with Senior Xiao Bai around, there would be no danger.

"Walk!"

With a wave of its hand, Little Marten enveloped Lin Dong in a purplish-black light.

The next moment, the two disappeared from the Azure Dragon Palace.

Target—Baichao Mountain!
