BTTH: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Rune Marked Vertical Eye



Recalling the entire process of his amnesia, Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. He had just sworn to find the person who caused his memory loss, only to realize that it was actually the newly born Geng Metal Tribulation Lightning that had done it.

Moreover, it was targeted at the black mist in his soul. Although he still didn't know what the black mist was, he now understood its origin.

This realization made him recall the state he experienced the first time he practiced the Heavenly Heart Perception Chapter. At that time, he thought he had simply fallen asleep, but now it seemed that his consciousness had been completely suppressed by that void, leaving him in a dazed state with no awareness.

Also, the last time his soul broke through from the mid-stage of the Mortal Realm to the late stage, it was likely the chaotic energy from that void that caused it. Otherwise, he couldn't explain why his soul carried that strange black mist.

At this moment, he solved some of the doubts he had from before, but new questions arose. What exactly was that void? There didn't seem to be any relevant records about it in the original text.

He carefully recalled all the information he knew, but there was no clue. Xiao Bai had no choice but to give up and bury this matter deep in his heart.

His past experience told him that many things remain unknown simply because he had not reached a certain level of cultivation. In other words, as long as his strength was strong enough, these secrets would eventually reveal themselves to him, shedding their veils and showing their true nature.

After letting go of his doubts, he turned his attention to the symbol on his forehead.

Xiao Bai knew that this symbol was definitely related to the Heavenly Heart Perception Chapter he had cultivated.

Since the symbol appeared on his forehead, it had been completely still, but after his memory loss, the symbol became active.

Looking back now, the biggest difference between before and after his amnesia was his mindset!

Thinking again about the content of the Heavenly Heart Perception Chapter, it should be that the peaceful and natural state after amnesia resonated with the symbol and activated it.

At this moment, Xiao Bai felt a faint connection between his soul and the symbol, and it seemed like he could use it.

Following that mysterious feeling, he sent a portion of his soul power into the symbol on his forehead.

"Buzz!"

As soon as his soul power entered, Xiao Bai felt the symbol activate. A soft hum that only his soul could perceive sounded, and instantly, the lines on the symbol began to light up, glowing faintly. This light was not harsh, but rather gentle.

As all the lights on the symbol finally lit up, they formed a strange vertical pattern. After this vertical pattern was formed, Xiao Bai felt as if his forehead had become a small black hole, continuously absorbing his soul power.

Xiao Bai gritted his teeth. The consumption was too fast. He felt that his soul, now at the perfect stage of the Mortal Realm, couldn't sustain it for much longer, but at this point, he was unwilling to stop.

Just as his soul power was almost depleted, the vertical pattern on his forehead seemed to reach a critical point, suddenly splitting open. A mysterious light flashed by.

He saw that a vertical eye had appeared on his forehead. This eye was chaotic in nature, emitting no light, but anyone who looked at it would feel its majesty, nobility, cold indifference, and mysterious vastness.

The sensation was extraordinarily complex and eerie. Although its aura wasn't powerful at the moment, anyone who looked at this eye would feel the same sensation.

Xiao Bai felt that his vision had become completely different. It was a very strange feeling, completely unlike what his physical eyes would see.

All around him, countless colorful particles filled the air. Xiao Bai realized these must be the various elemental energies saturating the world.

This sensation was completely different from when he used his soul perception to sense the surrounding energies. It was usually a vague sense, but now, he could clearly see these energies.

Moreover, the surrounding world constantly conveyed a sense of affinity to him, as if he and the world had merged into one.

Just as Xiao Bai was about to carefully feel this sensation, suddenly, his viewpoint began to rise. From his current surroundings, he "saw" the entire small valley.

He saw Xiao Yi Xian in the grass hut, holding a packet of poison with great hesitation.

Yes, despite the hut being in the way, it felt like he could clearly "see" through it, which was very strange. It seemed that as long as Xiao Bai wanted, he could "see" anything.

Before Xiao Bai could react, his viewpoint rose again. This time, he "saw" the Magical Beast Mountain Range, with various magical beasts resting or venturing out at night. Xiao Bai could take all of this into his mind.

The viewpoint expanded again, and Xiao Bai "saw" Qing Shan Town, with Manager Yao of Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion looking grim.

The range continued to widen, and Xiao Bai saw the Xiao Family appear in his "sight." He saw Xiao Yan soaking in a bathtub while Yao Lao floated nearby, stroking his beard and appraising the person in the tub.

Suddenly, the old man seemed to look up, his eyes filled with suspicion.

However, Xiao Bai didn't pay attention to that; at this moment, he was focused on another place, feeling a little anxious.

Because he saw Xun'er. She seemed to be in great pain, her face pale, her consciousness already somewhat hazy, and her lips murmuring something softly.

Xiao Bai faintly heard: "Big Brother Xiao Bai, Xun'er is in so much pain!"

Just as Xiao Bai was about to exit this state, suddenly, his vision went black, and a strong dizziness hit him. All the viewpoints disappeared in an instant.

Sitting on a giant rock, Xiao Bai held his forehead with his hand, feeling his soul power in the sea of consciousness depleted once again, making him uncomfortable.

This strange sensation drained a lot, and in just a short moment, all the soul power of his perfect Mortal Realm cultivation was exhausted.

After waiting for the intense dizziness to subside, Xiao Bai hurriedly got up. He had to return to the Xiao Family immediately; Xun'er seemed to be in more pain than usual.

In the past, whenever Xun'er experienced pain, she had never fainted. But today, she seemed confused, indicating that the torment of the Heavenly Flame burning through her body was more intense than ever before.

In a flash, he appeared in front of Xiao Yi Xian's door. After knocking, he heard hurried sounds of tidying up from inside.

"Stop cleaning up! It's just poison. What's the big deal?" Xiao Bai said in exasperation, deciding to directly call her out.

If he hadn't recovered his memory, he might still have some doubts, but now, he had even prepared a solution for her Calamity Poison Body. There was no need to be so cautious.

If he didn't want her to awaken her constitution, he wouldn't have given her the Seven-colored Poison Codex!

There was a brief silence in the room, then the door opened gently. Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head, her eyes nervously glancing at Xiao Bai, constantly studying the expression on his face.

"There's no need to look. It's just a Calamity Poison Body. What's the big deal? I'm not going to hate you!!" Xiao Bai, seeing her anxious expression, didn't want to beat around the bush and directly pointed it out to prevent her from overthinking.

"How... how do you know?" Xiao Yi Xian asked in surprise, her eyes full of doubt.

"How? Have you forgotten who gave you the Seven-colored Poison Codex?" Xiao Bai looked at her gently, extending his finger to softly wipe away a bit of brown powder from the corner of her small, rosy mouth, and softly scolded, "You sneakily take medicine but don't even clean your mouth afterward. What a silly girl!"

Seeing the tiny bit of brown powder on his thumb, Xiao Yi Xian's flustered, delicate face turned red, and she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it. Suddenly, a sense of indignation rose in her heart. "Xiao Bai, who are you calling silly?"

Then, as if suddenly recalling something, her little face froze, and she exclaimed, "You... you've recovered your memory?"

Earlier, when she heard Xiao Bai say that he knew about her Calamity Poison Body, she was too shocked to think much. But now, she suddenly realized that if he mentioned the Seven-colored Poison Codex, it definitely meant he had remembered everything!

"Hehe… Someone actually treated me like a child when I lost my memory. You should know who that someone is, right? My dear Xian'er!" Xiao Bai's gaze turned dangerous as he gritted his teeth and spoke.

Thinking back to the days when this girl made him drink medicine, Xiao Bai felt a bit embarrassed.

"Well... well..." Xiao Yi Xian's eyes darted nervously. "A doctor's heart is kind, you don't need to thank me!"

"I'll deal with you later!" Xiao Bai lightly knocked her smooth forehead. "I have urgent business to attend to now. Pack up and come with me!"

Xiao Yi Xian was stunned and stared at Xiao Bai for a moment, not going to pack anything.

"Don't you need to pack? Then let's go!" With that, Xiao Bai extended his hand to her.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi Xian shook her head, her eyes showing a trace of reluctance and indecision, which quickly disappeared. She smiled and said, "Xiao Bai, I'll wait for you here in the valley. Is that okay?"

Xiao Bai furrowed his brows, a hint of suspicion in his eyes. Was she thinking about going to the Chu Yun Empire like in the original story?

"You're not going to force me, are you?" Xiao Yi Xian saw his hesitant expression, and with a gentle step, moved in front of Xiao Bai, adjusting his clothes. Her gaze was soft yet determined as she looked at him.

Sighing, Xiao Bai felt helpless. For the women closely tied to him now—like Xun'er, Xiao Yi Xian, Cai Lin, he didn't want to force them into anything unless absolutely necessary. Everyone had their own will.

He couldn't impose his decisions on them against their wishes, even though he knew his way was the best solution!

"I know you're worried about the Calamity Poison Body, but this constitution is not unsolvable. I know a way to resolve it. Come with me, okay?" Xiao Bai gently stroked her hair and spoke softly.

Xiao Yi Xian was momentarily stunned, then smiled playfully, saying, "If I wait for you here, does that mean you won't help me? Let me tell you, no way!"

"Alright then!" After a moment, Xiao Bai saw the determination in her eyes, knowing she wasn't willing to go, so he reluctantly agreed. He then patted her on the head and said fiercely, "But if I come back and don't find you here, you know the consequences!"

"I know! You're so naggy!!" Xiao Yi Xian wrinkled her delicate nose and pretended to be annoyed, though a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

Xiao Bai thought for a moment but still felt uneasy. He took out a large pile of things from his spatial ring, all small bottles.

He took out a bottle and handed it to her, saying, "This is poison from the single horn of an eight-winged Black Emperor Serpent, a Sixth Rank magical beast. Take it! Whether for self-defense or enhancing your strength, you should know better than me how to use it!"

"And these pills, each with its own effects. The labels on the bottles have the details. You can organize them and store them in your spatial ring."

Xiao Yi Xian didn't pay attention to the items. She stared blankly at the chattering man in front of her, her eyes slightly red. Suddenly, she threw herself into his arms, "Xiao Bai…!"

"Alright, alright, I'll be back in a few days. Remember to wait for me, don't run off alone. And the method to control the Calamity Poison Body is real. I know you doubt it. This time, I'll bring back the solution to show you!" Xiao Bai hugged her slender waist and patted her soft back as he spoke.

"Mm!" Xiao Yi Xian nodded in his embrace, muffling her words, "Be careful too, don't end up in such a sorry state like last time. And about that method you mentioned—if it's real but hard to obtain, then forget it for now. Wait until I grow stronger, and we'll go together. Don't take any risks, okay?"

"Alright, I know you have urgent matters. Go quickly! I'll call Xiao Lan over to see you off!" Xiao Yi Xian nuzzled her head against his chest and then pushed him away.

Xiao Bai shook his head, looking at her deeply, and said solemnly, "No need to call Xiao Lan. Be careful here by yourself, and wait for me to come back!"

With that, a pair of purple energy wings appeared behind him. With a push of his legs, he shot up into the sky.

Xiao Yi Xian sorrowful and reluctant gaze turned momentarily astonished as she watched his figure ascend into the heavens, her heart filled with shock.

After spending so many days with Xiao Bai, she didn't even know that this guy was at least a Dou Wang. Considering his age, at most a couple of years older than her, she had guessed he might be a Da Dou Shi, and that was after reconsidering his abilities following the incident with the little golden dragon.

After all, Qingshan Town only had one Dou Shi, and he was in his sixties.

"Is he really that strong?" Xiao Yi Xian muttered to herself, looking at the figure getting smaller and smaller. She had just been worried about this guy, thinking about the records in the Seven-colored Poison Codex about the special nature of the Calamity Poison Body, and advising him not to take risks until she grew stronger to assist him.

"Damned Xiao Bai! Why does he have to be so strong? It makes me feel like I have no sense of accomplishment!"

Xiao Yi Xian clenched her little fists, her face turning a little red. If this guy is a Dou Wang or even a Dou Huang, then even if she has the Calamity Poison Body, it would be hard to catch up to him!

After all, while she was fast, with Xiao Bai's terrifying talent, he wouldn't stay stagnant. If she wanted to help him, who knew when that would happen.

Thinking about this, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless, her earlier feelings of reluctance fading somewhat.

Though her lips were grumbling, deep down, she was genuinely happy for him. The stronger he was, the safer he was, and that made her feel more at ease.

When Xiao Bai offered to take her with him, she had been momentarily tempted, but quickly suppressed that feeling. His acceptance didn't mean everyone around him would feel the same. She didn't want to burden him with troubles or complications.

The tragic fate of the Calamity Poison Body, as recorded in the Seven-colored Poison Scripture, had deeply shocked her. Not everyone could take the Calamity Poison Body so lightly like Xiao Bai.

And not everyone, like Xiao Bai, would truly care for her even when knowing she had the Calamity Poison Body.

She trusted Xiao Bai, but she didn't trust others!

And she didn't want to face those cold, disdainful gazes—or worse, those righteous people who might look at her as a burden for the greater good of the world. Such attention would only leave her troubled and place him in difficult situations.

That was why she had looked at him the way she did, to tell him that she didn't want to go!

And Xiao Bai seemed to understand. Unlike their first meeting, when he had been domineering, this time he respected her choice.

This made Xiao Yi Xian incredibly happy and pleasantly surprised!

When the whole world might despise and fear you, there's one person who doesn't. Someone who understands your heart, respects your decisions, and stands by you. Isn't such a person worth loving?
