Chapter 66: The Resulting Orchid

Li Xuan watched the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus, which grew more frantic as it kept spewing flames, and he also frowned silently.

"We can't delay any longer; we must get out of here quickly," Li Xuan frowned, muttered, then clasped his hands together, and the Burning Heart Divine Flame burst forth.

The Filthy Flame Yin Lotus, under the scorching of the Burning Heart Divine Flame, instantly developed fissures, and a continuous stream of black energy poured out from its body.

Li Xuan further burned these black energies with the Burning Heart Divine Flame, turning them into pure soul power, which merged into his soul, further strengthening Li Xuan's soul.

In this way, the Burning Heart Divine Flame smelted the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus for a full three hours, finally extracting all the black vapors from its Soul Body.

At the end, the Burning Heart Seal's confinement contained only a mass of Hui Yan Source, a mass of Red Flame Source, and a translucent Soul Body.

The Soul Body was that of the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus; Li Xuan merely erased its divine consciousness and removed the special Filthy Flame within its body, so the Soul Body appeared in a transparent hue. However, Li Xuan retained its memories and had already thought of a way to extract the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's memories.

"Seal it!"

Li Xuan let out a light shout, and the speed at which he grasped the seal in his hand suddenly accelerated.

The next second, the Burning Heart Seal split into three, sealing the Filthy Flame, the Red Flame, and the Soul Body of the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus separately.

The source power of the two flames, once absorbed, grants the flame's power, allowing free use of these two flames.

Although Li Xuan also wishes to absorb them, it is clear that now is not the time for Li Xuan to do so; leaving the Spiritual World first is the priority.

The instant the three seals were fully completed, Li Xuan again felt a violent whirlwind.

When Li Xuan opened his eyes again, the sun outside the window greeted him; the sun was already at the zenith, and the morning classes had ended for one or two hours.

"Damn, I skipped class again..." Li Xuan muttered helplessly, thinking why the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus possessed him for no reason, causing him to oversleep and miss the lecture.

Li Xuan extended his hand, and the Burning Heart Seal that had sealed the three items appeared in his palm.

Li Xuan took out two Jade Boxes and placed the Burning Heart Seal that contained the sealed sources into a Jade Box.

The Burning Heart Seal is not a sealing-type seal, so it can only temporarily seal; every so often, Li Xuan must reinforce the seal, otherwise the flame sources could escape from the Burning Heart Seal.

He closed the Jade Box and placed it at the bedside, within easy reach.

The main act now began: the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's soul! Li Xuan seized the Burning Heart Seal, went to the Flower Pot of the Dark Realm Ghost Orchid, crushed the Burning Heart Seal with his hand, and placed the Soul Body of the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus onto the Dark Realm Ghost Orchid.

Then, Li Xuan took out a small green bottle and poured a drop of Green Spirit Liquid onto the roots of the Dark Realm Ghost Orchid.

The next second, the Dark Realm Ghost Orchid sprouted rapidly, directly absorbing the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's soul into its leaves.

Li Xuan used the Green Spirit Liquid to accelerate the Dark Realm Ghost Orchid's growth; the orchid, lacking resentment, would then absorb souls.

However, after the Dark Realm Ghost Orchid absorbs a soul's power, it spits out the soul's memories, akin to eating a watermelon and spitting out the seeds.

Li Xuan stood beside the Dark Realm Ghost Orchid, waiting for it to expel the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's memories; after absorbing those memories, Li Xuan would know whether the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus had cultivated any techniques.

As time passed second by second, the Dark Realm Ghost Orchid unexpectedly sprouted a new vine from its roots, bearing a fingernail-sized white fruit; Li Xuan did not hesitate and shoved the fruit straight into his mouth.

The white fruit melted upon entry, and a massive amount of information suddenly flooded Li Xuan's mind.

"Ah!"

Li Xuan felt his head about to explode and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

The Filthy Flame Yin Lotus, worthy of being a, 000-year Soul Beast, indeed possessed an overwhelming amount of memories.

Despite his head splitting with pain, Li Xuan struggled to rise from the ground, sat cross-legged, and circulated his soul power, trying to calm himself and absorb the memories as quickly as possible.

As the memories were absorbed, the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's recollections flickered in Li Xuan's mind like slides. However, most of those memories were of little use.

The Filthy Flame Yin Lotus was born in the dirtiest, most chaotic depths, never seeing daylight; its first, 000 years of memories consisted solely of cultivation, endless cultivation.

When the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus broke through its, 000-year Cultivation, it forcibly transformed into a human form using its great innate talent, leaving the underground.

Although it was a, 000-year Transformation, the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's innate talent was so strong that in just ten years it progressed from Level 10 to Level 95, becoming a Title Douluo.

However, having been born underground, the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus absorbed endless resentment and filth, leading to some psychological distortion.

As a result, in less than ten years it became the greatest demon on Douluo Continent at the time, burning, killing, looting, committing every evil, and even establishing a sect of Evil Soul Masters.

This led several powerful empires to dispatch their strongest Twelve Sealed Douluo here to duel the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus to the death.

Finally, at the cost of Ten Sealed Douluo, they used an Ancient Artifact to seal the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus inside the Volcanic Crater.

They thought the Filthy Flame was liquid, so they attempted to annihilate the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus with magma.

Then the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus began a seal lasting tens of thousands of years.

Within the seal, the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's soul power level would drop periodically.

Nevertheless, the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's exceptional talent led it, by sheer force of its strong regenerative ability and flesh, to devise a method that could balance fire!

This was not a true cultivation technique, merely a way to balance fire.

However, Li Xuan valued more the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's exploration of its own meridians and acupoints while creating the method; one could say the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus spent thousands of years conducting meticulous research on its flesh, nearly developing all meridians and acupoints.

These experiences of the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus were sufficient for Li Xuan to craft his own cultivation technique!

When the memories were absorbed to this point, Li Xuan's eyes lit up! The thing he had been searching for in vain finally appeared before him.

"Hahahahahaha!" Li Xuan laughed loudly and heartily in the Dormitory.

Li Xuan then carefully and repeatedly reviewed the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's memories of body development, deeply imprinting them into his own memory.

After comprehending the technique, the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus absorbed a type of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire generated in a magma pool.

Although this delayed the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's death, it did not prevent it; within the Stone Plate Seal, the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus survived less than nine thousand years.

The Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's body died, but its soul persisted, hiding within a lotus seed, awaiting someone to retrieve its remains from the Stone Plate Seal, so it could seize the chance to possess a body and live anew.

So the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's soul remained in the lotus seed for tens of thousands of years, and the soul had begun to suffer degradation.

The memories end here.

Li Xuan opened his eyes, thought briefly, and then closed them again.

Li Xuan repeatedly reviewed the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's memories of its death, confirming that the creature had left no other means; only then did Li Xuan reopen his eyes and erase the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's memories.

If the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's memories remained in Li Xuan's Spiritual World for too long, Li Xuan would eventually suffer memory confusion and ultimately mental breakdown.

As for the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's core memories, they have been firmly recorded in Li Xuan's mind.

Nevertheless, Li Xuan remained uneasy, so he took out a notebook and, in Chinese, transcribed the contents of the memories word for word.

After completing this, Li Xuan's already pallid face showed no hint of color; he tilted his head and collapsed onto the ground.

Filthy Flame Yin Lotus's memory is truly too massive, Li Xuan's viewing of that memory for so long has already exceeded his limits, and sleeping is Li Xuan's best method of recovery (End of chapter)
