Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 58 Awakening

Midnight, in the Monster Mountains, the heavy rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, and stars twinkled in the tranquil sky. Because of the heavy rain, the roar of the waterfall was even louder and deafening.

On the cliff beside the waterfall, there was a circular spot of light, like the moon's projection, which stood out conspicuously in the pitch-black forest. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the light was emanating from a cave in the cliff face.

Inside the cave, several moonstones emitted a faint glow.

A naked young man lay on a boulder with his eyes closed. His slender body was covered with scorch marks that looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

The old doctor, facing the cave entrance, sat cross-legged in the air with his eyes closed. Suddenly, as if sensing something, his calm expression shifted. Without turning around, he said with a hint of pleasure:

"You're awake!"

Xiao Bai felt pain all over his body, along with a tingling sensation. The pain and itching sensation was extremely uncomfortable. A sharp pain also came from his mind from time to time, making his newly awakened consciousness feel like he was about to faint again.

Despite his strong will, he couldn't help but let out a soft groan.

"Hey kid, why are you so eager for quick success? With your talent, becoming a powerful figure on the continent is only a matter of time. There's absolutely no need to take such a risky move and put yourself in such a deadly situation!"

Hearing Xiao Bai's groan of pain, Yao Lao sighed and said with some confusion.

He was genuinely puzzled as to why this kid had done what he did today. In his eyes, Xiao Bai had always been calm and unhurried since he began cultivating.

During the years he remained at the ninth level of Dou Qi, the girl from the Xiao family was always worried about him.

But he never saw any impatience or despair on Xiao Bai's face. His words were also unusually gentle, without a single complaint, which was the complete opposite of his cheap apprentice.

"They're just young people after all!" Unable to understand, the old doctor could only attribute it to the impulsiveness of the young people, and sighed inwardly.

Upon hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Bai couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although it wasn't his initiative, today's events could be said to be unrelated to him, or it could be said that the cause lay with him.

Upon entering the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Bai sensed an abundance of wood-attribute energy, making it an ideal place for cultivating wood-attribute skills.

It is precisely because of this that the Yi Wood positive lightning and Bing Fire yang lightning in his body are very active here. Little Yi absorbs wood attribute energy much faster here. Wood can generate fire, so Little Bing also absorbed a lot of energy.

This resulted in a significant increase in their wood and fire attributes, but their lightning attribute energy couldn't keep up.

As Xiao Bai flew in the sky, it was during a thunderstorm. The surrounding lightning energy increased dramatically, and the two little guys were overjoyed, as if they had been parched for a long time and were extremely eager. They didn't care whether Xiao Bai could handle the lightning energy and just rushed out.

These two little guys only have spirituality, not intelligence. They act without thinking, relying entirely on instinct. When they encounter something they want to eat and can get their hands on, they just start eating it.

"Being a father is tough!" Xiao Bai sighed helplessly.

The two little guys inside his body, Xiao Bing looked a bit listless, turning into a ball of lightning and shrinking into his heart, not moving at all. Xiao Bai wasn't worried, though, as it hadn't damaged its core, it had just over-consumed some energy and would recover in a while.

Xiao Yi is constantly busy repairing the meridians in his body and clearing away the accumulated lightning-attribute energy. Occasionally, he will send some of the energy that he can't eat to Xiao Bing. Of course, this is just a figurative analogy. After Xiao Yi clears the accumulated energy, it flows through his heart and is then absorbed by Xiao Bing.

Xiao Bai watched their actions without complaining about their unauthorized behavior, after all, he couldn't afford to support them at his current level.

Xiao Bai has been planning how to help the lightning seeds he has already acquired, or those he has not yet acquired, grow. He has some ideas in mind, but they are not very clear yet.

"Looks like I need to finish up what I'm doing and make a trip to Canaan Academy as soon as possible!"

Because the dean there is of the lightning attribute, he doesn't believe the academy doesn't have a treasure trove of lightning attribute cultivation grounds, even though it's not mentioned in the original work, it should exist.

"Kid, what's wrong with you? Did you get struck by lightning and go crazy?" When Yao Lao saw that he hadn't responded for a long time, he turned around and looked at him lying there, motionless and in a daze, and was a little worried.

Xiao Bai rolled his eyes inwardly. This old guy had no manners. He forced a smile, his cheek throbbing, and said in a hoarse, weak voice:

"I'm fine, but I'm grateful for your care!"

When the old doctor saw that he had finally spoken, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had seen people struck by lightning on the forehead and become mentally impaired, so he was a little worried when he saw Xiao Bai's lifeless eyes and silence after waking up.

If someone calls him "senior" and he goes crazy after coming out with him, how will he explain it to his disciple when he gets back? And that little girl, she'll probably use the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame to burn his old bones directly.

"Taking care of you is a minor matter. Just don't do such foolish things again. The path of cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation. Never be impatient for quick success, as this can sometimes be detrimental to cultivation!" The old doctor looked at him earnestly and advised him.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will remember it!" Xiao Bai said sincerely.

Although the old apothecary was unaware of the details and had a misunderstanding, it was still a word of concern. Xiao Bai could distinguish right from wrong and did not think there was anything wrong with it.

"That's good!" Seeing his sincere attitude, the old doctor was relieved and nodded with a smile, stroking his beard.

Then, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, he said, "You've got some good assets, kid!"

At first, Xiao Bai didn't react. Capital? What capital? Following his gaze, he was speechless, cursing inwardly:

"Damn it, that lewd old man!"

Only then did he realize that he was lying naked on a boulder, sprawled out on his back. He hurriedly endured the stinging pain in his mind and took out a robe from his storage ring to cover himself.

He glared at the old doctor with hatred in his eyes. He never expected that the person who had seen him naked for the first time was not a pretty girl, but a decrepit old man.

A sense of sadness welled up inside me, and I wondered if I was unclean!

About half an hour later, Xiao Bai felt that he could finally move with difficulty and sat up from the boulder.

The meridians in my body are still being repaired. At this rate, it will take about two more days before I can barely run the cultivation technique. If I can't run the technique, it means I can't use battle qi.

"Senior, I need about two more days to barely recover. We'll have to stay here for two more days before we can set off!"

"It's alright, it's only two days!"

Seeing this, Xiao Bai stopped talking and went to check on the situation in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He sank his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness and found it to be extremely empty and barren. Only a few strands of soul power drifted within it, unlike the powerful energy he had felt before. There seemed to be an aura of heavenly thunder in his sea of ​​consciousness, but he could not see any trace of thunder attribute.
