Chapter 27 Red Lotus Fire

Chapter 1 The Blooming

The vast Fountain of Sin completely covered the Abyss Red Lotus, enveloping every inch of it. A nine-eyed face surfaced on the surface of the Fountain of Sin. Through causality, it could sense that Xu Jingming was hiding nearby within his Mind World.

"Hmph, this Wu Ming is constantly guarding within his Mind World, clearly not giving up." Lord Yan Zhai constantly sensed Xu Jingming's presence, and he was naturally annoyed that he couldn't kill his way into the Mind World.

"Brother Yan Zhai, Wu Ming has already said he only wants to watch the Abyss Red Lotus bloom! What's the harm in letting him watch? It's not like you'll lose anything. Look at what it's come to; he's hiding in his Mind World and might attack at any moment," the withered tree figure transmitted from the side.

"He can only hide! If he dares to come out of his Mind World, I'll attack the moment he does! He wants to watch the Abyss Red Lotus bloom in peace? Hmph, he's dreaming," Lord Yan Zhai replied. "If he had offered a generous gift and been respectful, perhaps I would've been in a good mood to give him a chance. But no gift, and he expects me to give him face?"

"Brother Yan Zhai, Lord Feng Ke offered a gift and invited you to join forces. You accepted the gift and even devoured Lord Feng Ke's incarnation," the withered tree figure said.

"I said, offering a gift still depends on my mood at the time," Lord Yan Zhai said.

"I've been with you for so long, and I still don't know when you're in a good mood or a bad mood," the withered tree figure said helplessly.

"I'm in a pretty good mood when you're with me," Lord Yan Zhai said.

The withered tree figure smiled.

Long ago, it was just an Abyss withered tree that had developed intelligence. Lord Yan Zhai was just a river back then. They each had their own territory and could vaguely sense each other, but neither of them could move at the time. They slowly grew by devouring other Abyss lifeforms that passed by.

They grew together over the long years and supported each other, becoming the most important beings in each other's lives.

Lord Yan Zhai had a strange temper, and other Abyss lords didn't dare to spend long periods with him. Only this withered tree could stay by his side, and Lord Yan Zhai never vented his anger on it.

"Be careful if I fight Wu Ming later," Lord Yan Zhai suddenly transmitted.

"Don't worry, I'm not very strong in combat, but I'm very good at protecting myself," the withered tree figure transmitted. "Moreover, when I observe the future branches, this Wu Ming is very clear about grievances and has never attacked me once."

"Don't trust the future!" Lord Yan Zhai said.

Just as the two of them were chatting as they had for countless years, the Abyss Red Lotus reached its limit and finally began to bloom slowly.

"Hmm?" Lord Yan Zhai and the withered tree figure naturally noticed it immediately; they were the closest to the Abyss Red Lotus.

"It's blooming?"

Xu Jingming, who had been patiently waiting in his Mind World, sensed the changes clearly because his Nine-Leaf Black Lotus Flame resonated with the Abyss Red Lotus. After accumulating for countless years, it was finally beginning its perfect bloom!

"This is the moment." A fierce glint flashed in Xu Jingming's eyes. In an instant, he split into three Xu Jingmings, followed by thousands of 'Black Lotus avatars.' These were avatars formed from the Black Lotus Fire.

"Mind World Teleportation!"

Although Lord Yan Zhai's Fountain of Sin covered every inch of the Abyss Red Lotus, making it invisible through the Mind World, Xu Jingming relied on his senses to teleport all the thousands of Black Lotus avatars to the various locations of the massive Abyss Red Lotus. In an instant, ninety-nine percent of the thousands of Black Lotus avatars were annihilated, leaving only a few dozen surviving. Only then did he teleport the three avatars over via Mind World Teleportation!



Lord Yan Zhai had tolerated Xu Jingming for hundreds of years. Now that the Abyss Red Lotus was blooming, he was naturally giving it his all, mobilizing the Fountain of Sin with all his might, covering almost every inch of space.

He needed to wait until the Abyss Red Lotus had fully bloomed before he could pluck and collect it.

When Xu Jingming teleported thousands of Black Lotus avatars over via Mind World Teleportation, many of the Black Lotus avatars were only a few feet away from the Abyss Red Lotus. Some avatars even appeared directly on the blooming petals. However, as strands of the Fountain of Sin permeated every crevice, these avatars were immediately stained with the Fountain of Sin and dissolved.

If it were Xu Jingming's true body, he could still resist the Fountain of Sin to some extent. However, an avatar formed from just a wisp of the Nine-Leaf Black Lotus Fire couldn't withstand the Fountain of Sin at all.

Of the thousands of Black Lotus avatars, only a few dozen successfully drilled into the interior of the Abyss Red Lotus!

Some teleported into the flower bud.

Some teleported into the stem conduits.

Some teleported next to the lotus seeds.

"Success." Xu Jingming was very satisfied that a few dozen avatars were successful. He immediately teleported three avatars in via Mind World Teleportation. One avatar entered the Abyss Red Lotus's stem conduit, while the other two were on the lotus receptacle inside the flower bud.

"He drilled into the interior of the Abyss Red Lotus?" Lord Yan Zhai was both angry and anxious.

He had said that he wouldn't let this outsider watch the Abyss Red Lotus bloom, yet the other party still forced his way in, and he couldn't stop him.

"He entered the interior of the Abyss Red Lotus; what can you do? Are you going to destroy the Abyss Red Lotus to kill him? Moreover, he's from the Mind World lineage. Killing one of his avatars is useless to him," the withered tree figure said from the side.

Lord Yan Zhai said anxiously, "The Mind World lineage is indeed difficult to deal with. He really managed to enter the interior of the Abyss Red Lotus. Fine, I'll immediately pluck and take it away as soon as the Abyss Red Lotus is fully bloomed."

The massive Abyss Red Lotus's flower bud had already begun its slow blooming process.

On the lotus receptacle, Xu Jingming's two avatars were there, carefully observing the entire Abyss Red Lotus.

Another avatar was sensing the internal workings of the Abyss Red Lotus within the stem conduit.

"The entire Abyss Red Lotus is truly intricate." Xu Jingming observed. After all, he had already cultivated the Red Lotus Fire to the Nine-Leaf Black Lotus realm, and he had studied the Abyss Red Lotus Diagram for many years.

Now that he saw the real Abyss Red Lotus, he felt enlightened! Many of his past doubts were suddenly resolved.

"This Abyss Red Lotus is like a real universe; it has incredibly precise operational rules. Under these rules, it can easily purify sin and turn it into nourishment, nourishing this Abyss Red Lotus," Xu Jingming marveled.

"Purifying sin can be so easy."

Xu Jingming began constructing an Abyss Red Lotus Diagram within his body. In the past, he could never fully comprehend it. According to the inheritance's description, he had to see the Abyss Red Lotus with his own eyes to have a chance of comprehending it. This time, Xu Jingming saw it and understood.

"The Abyss Master, who drew this Abyss Red Lotus Diagram, has already explained all the mysteries. But that's dead! The real Abyss Red Lotus is alive."

Of the three major lineages of the Mind World that Xu Jingming studied, Red Lotus Fire was actually the first one he studied, but in the end, the Mind Weapon lineage and the Illusion lineage were the first to reach the half-step third realm. Red Lotus Fire was the slowest.

But now, once the key point was understood, everything fell into place.

The aura of the Abyss Red Lotus Diagram constructed within Xu Jingming's body became even more vast. The Nine-Leaf Black Lotus Fire that had originally condensed within his body merged into the Abyss Red Lotus Diagram, and it naturally transformed into a blood-red flame!

Red Lotus Fire uses sin as nourishment, burning the body, burning the mind, and burning all kinds of intertwined karmic debts! With Red Lotus Fire surrounding it, it even has the effect of severing karma!

"Red Lotus Fire?" Xu Jingming sensed that wisp of Red Lotus Fire that had transformed within his body.

"Chi chi chi~~~"

Red Lotus Fire burned within his body. Xu Jingming's body was entirely composed of Mind World power! It possessed the size of the Void Abyss body and extremely high energy density. After all, Red Lotus Fire was condensed by Xu Jingming, so when it burned within his body, it naturally restrained its power and wouldn't be utterly destructive.

"Red Lotus Fire can burn one's own sins, burn one's own body, and burn one's own mental consciousness." Xu Jingming had obtained the inheritance, so he naturally knew how to use it.

Using it to fight enemies was just one way to use Red Lotus Fire.

Severing karma was also a way to use it.

It could also be used to cultivate oneself internally.

In fact, any lineage could help oneself. The Void Abyss body was vast, the Mind Weapon lineage had high energy density, and the Red Lotus Fire lineage provided an internal and external 'burning and tempering' for the body.

"Burning away the sins and grudges entangled on the body allows one to be mentally and physically empty, maintaining the best state."

"Burning the body can purify the body and achieve a more perfect state."

"Burning one's own mental consciousness is another way to train the mental consciousness."

Xu Jingming only felt warm all over, with Red Lotus Fire burning in every part of his body.

Red Lotus Fire burns enemies for the sake of destruction.

Burning within one's own body, however, is slow and gentle, burning away everything that is not pure and powerful enough in the body.

"Only a body that doesn't change under the burning of Red Lotus Fire is a perfect enough body." Xu Jingming felt his own transformation. The Mind World power that his body could contain became even greater, and his mental strength became even purer.

Xu Jingming could sense that he could previously maintain two Void Abyss, but now he could maintain at least three Void Abyss simultaneously.



The Abyss Red Lotus's petals slowly bloomed, revealing the lotus receptacle inside and the two Xu Jingming avatars standing on the massive lotus receptacle.

"I've finally seen you." The nine-eyed face surfaced on the surface of the vast Fountain of Sin, staring at Xu Jingming, but it revealed a look of shock.

Because at this moment, the two Xu Jingming avatars had a very faint blood-colored flame rising from their bodies. This blood-colored flame seemed to emerge from every pore of Xu Jingming's skin, burning every part of his body.

"In my causal sense, he's completely blurred!" Lord Yan Zhai was shocked. "Besides confirming that he's still alive, I can't sense the location of any of his avatars."

"Severing karma?"

Lord Yan Zhai naturally understood that some lineages were good at isolating karma.

Like the beast hide space left behind by High-dimensional Child's father, 'Flowing Python Star,' it could isolate karma.

The Red Lotus Fire method created by Void Abyss Master was also good at severing karma.

With this method, it was difficult to lock onto the other party's location through causality! Not to mention attacking the other party through causality. The method of severing karma might be slightly inferior in terms of killing enemies, but it was of great help to oneself.

"How many avatars he has and where they are, I can't sense at all." Lord Yan Zhai looked at the blood-colored flame rising from Xu Jingming's body. "He has mastered Red Lotus Fire?"

At this moment, Lord Yan Zhai could hardly believe his own eyes.

"Mastered three half-step third realm methods in just over 34,000 years since birth?" Lord Yan Zhai's heart trembled. "This is the first time I've seen such a monster!"
