Chapter 1049 River of Karmic Fire

Chu Tian had never entered a tomb before, so he naturally had no idea what was happening.

However, he felt a peculiar aura here.

"This place, it seems to be within the divine platform of some great being!"

He murmured softly.

"Greenhorns are always so surprised. Isn't it normal for a world to be self-contained?"

Suddenly, a female voice came from behind the two.

Both turned around simultaneously.

They discovered that Ling'er and Lin Qiaoqiao had appeared behind them at some point.

"Didn't I tell you to wait outside? Why did you come in?" Lin Qingyuan's face changed drastically.

"Tch, feudal superstition! Is this what you call a great tomb? If I told you I grew up in such an environment, you wouldn't believe it!"

Ling'er rolled her eyes at him and said nonchalantly.

Lin Qingyuan naturally didn't believe it and, with a dark expression, was about to say something!

However, Chu Tian understood the meaning behind her words.

"You're not suggesting that the hidden location of the Soul Spirit Sect is inside a great tomb, are you?"

He asked. Ling'er nodded.

Lin Qingyuan looked surprised.

Ling'er continued.

"Normally, such small worlds should collapse and disappear after their creator dies, but there is a way to preserve them! I never expected that besides our Third Ancestor, someone else has mastered this method!" Ling'er looked around with curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian's expression shifted, and his heart skipped a beat.

"This method is... burying oneself within one's own divine platform space, creating such a small world, and establishing an independent cycle of heavenly dao?"

Ling'er nodded.

"It should be. I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but the space where the Soul Spirits survive now is the divine soul world of the Third Ancestor!

When the Third Ancestor died in battle, to provide his descendants with a peaceful space to grow, he used a peerless secret technique to bury himself within his own divine soul space. All living beings within the space have their own reincarnation.

And we have the method to enter and exit, connecting it to the Central Continent world!

The Yin spirits we rescue will be brought in and protected."

Chu Tian couldn't help but gasp.

The Third Ancestor mentioned by Ling'er must have been a powerful soul being.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to create such a vast small world for his descendants after his death.

Lin Qiaoqiao, who had been trembling and was afraid of entering the tomb,

now looked at the surroundings after hearing Ling'er's words. With no sense of eeriness, she was no longer afraid.

"How did you get past the malevolent energy outside?"

Lin Qingyuan asked at this moment.

"A little malevolent energy is nothing compared to what the Third Ancestor created!"

Ling'er did not answer, merely saying this with disdain.

The surrounding world was filled with various living beings.

A flock of butterflies, at some point, began to dance and fluttered towards the Seventh Princess.

Seventh Princess Lin Qiaoqiao curiously extended her hand.

The butterflies, as if unafraid of humans,

landed on her hand. As she curiously reached out with her other hand to touch them,

the butterflies all took flight, turning in the air.

They flew into the flower bushes.

The four of them then proceeded along the small path.

There was no sense of entering a tomb.

Lin Qingyuan found it even stranger, as this was his first time entering such a tomb.

It was like strolling through a scenic landscape.

Suddenly, the sound of flowing water appeared.

A small bridge blocked their path.

This small world had only this one path, and the river in the middle seemed to traverse the entire world.

The water in the river did not look like water at all.

Instead, it resembled rising blue flames,

but it flowed like ripples.

The small bridge was a floating bridge.

It simply floated above the flames. As they approached, Ling'er's expression changed.

"It's the River of Karma! Everyone be careful!"

Boom...

However, her warning was too late.

Chu Tian had already stepped onto the small bridge. The moment Chu Tian stepped onto the bridge,

the entire lake shuddered violently. Blue flames surged and swept towards Chu Tian. Chu Tian was enveloped by the flames and immediately became motionless.

However, the flames did not burn Chu Tian after enveloping him; they merely adhered to the surface of his body.

"Big Brother!" Lin Qingyuan exclaimed in alarm and reached out to pull Chu Tian.

Ling'er quickly stopped him.

"It's useless. He has touched the Karma Fire and is seeing visions of the future. If you disturb him, at best, he will fall into a daze, and you yourself will be unable to extricate yourself."

"What? Getting burned by this can let you see the future?" Lin Qingyuan asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I don't know what cultivation technique this powerful being practiced, but to condense such a River of Karma in a small world. Karma Fire refines cause and effect. The karma you plant in this life will determine the fruit you receive...

Therefore, it's like a mirror, first burning your cause, then giving you a result, which is the future...

Know this, once a person knows their future, it can inflict devastating damage on their heart. I don't know how he will fare!"

Ling'er looked at Chu Tian with some concern.

What she said was indeed true. It was like a person knowing they had a terminal illness. Before getting a definitive diagnosis from the hospital, they wouldn't feel anything, eating and drinking as usual.

But the moment the confirmation notice came, most people would be scared to death by that single piece of paper.

The meaning of life lies in its unpredictability and infinite possibilities. People crave to know their future, but once they know it, life loses its joy.

Especially when someone knows how they will die and when, that sense of despair will instantly destroy a person's spirit.

Therefore, the future must never be seen.

Regardless of whether the future is good or bad.

Revealing a good future might make a person complacent, leading them to stop striving, thinking their future is so beautiful and all they need to do is wait.

Conversely, this could alter their future, ruining their life.

"Hehe, if I can see the future, then I'll see who my future wife is. That should be fine, right?"

Lin Qingyuan grinned wickedly, approached the lake, and extended a finger to touch the rising Karma Fire.

Hum...

Flames also rose from the lake's surface, engulfing him. However, after a brief moment, they receded.

"This is a disaster. How is this possible? Isn't this all nonsense?"

Rumble...

Just as Lin Qiaoqiao was curiously about to ask him what he saw,

suddenly, the river of Karma Fire underwent a great change.

The slowly flowing Karma Fire river water surged upwards. Simultaneously, a massive vortex condensed around Chu Tian.

The Karma Fire seemed to be drawn by a powerful force and poured into the vortex.

It disappeared after entering the vortex.

The river water rapidly decreased. Within a few breaths, the seemingly endless river had completely vanished.

The vortex then disappeared, and Chu Tian slowly opened his eyes, smiling.

"Why is it nonsense? I think that woman surnamed Ji is quite beautiful!"
