Chapter 347: Karma
Passing through the rift, Hua Hua Changxi came to a pitch-black and silent space where she could not see the sky above or the ground below.
In the center of the space, a grand red lotus floated in the air, its petals spreading outward layer by layer, revealing the lotus seed pod in the center.
Perhaps because she possessed the lotus bloodline and had activated the fire lotus divine ability, seeing the lotus seed pod, Hua Hua Changxi felt exceptionally close. She quickly scanned this space and, not sensing any danger, withdrew the Karma Fire Red Lotus.
Having entered the Xuanyuan Mansion before, attracting attention from all sides, and even being chased by Spirit Platform realm cultivators, this had left her with some psychological shadows, and she didn't want to make similar mistakes again.
As soon as the Karma Fire Red Lotus returned to her hand, the spatial rift closed instantly.
Isolated from the outside world's attention, Hua Hua Changxi began to observe this space seriously.
At this moment, she was hovering in mid-air, still a certain distance from the lotus seed pod. Just as she was thinking about how to get to the lotus seed pod, her body swayed, and she was standing on the lotus seed pod in the center of the lotus.
Looking from afar before, she didn't feel the lotus seed pod was very big, but now that she was in it, she realized it was shockingly large.
"Whoosh—"
The Karma Fire Red Lotus in Hua Hua Changxi's hand suddenly flared up, and on the halo outside the flames, 'Karma' character runes began to condense and take shape.
Watching this scene, Hua Hua Changxi's pupils shook. Thinking that this lotus seed pod should be the 'Karma Fire Platform', she took the initiative to manipulate the rapid condensation of the 'Karma' character law light chains.
Once the law light chains were condensed, they 'whooshed' and submerged into the lotus seed pod.
In an instant, the originally silent lotus seed pod began to bloom with firelight.
Seeing this, Hua Hua Changxi's eyes brightened, and she again manipulated the formation of the 'Karma' character law light chains.
As the law light chains continuously submerged, the firelight on the lotus seed pod grew brighter and brighter...
Not long after, Hua Hua Changxi felt that this lotus seed pod had been ignited!
In the end, red flames burned on the lotus petals of the lotus seed pod.
The originally dead and silent lotus seed pod, with the ignition of the flames, seemed to come alive.
Immediately after, red lotus flames began to condense on the lotus seed pod. When the flames extinguished, a red jade lotus seed pod the size of a fist was revealed, and then with a 'whoosh', it submerged into Hua Hua Changxi's brow.
"This..."
As soon as the red jade lotus seed pod submerged into Hua Hua Changxi's sea of consciousness, the entire lotus seed pod appeared in her mind. At this moment, she saw everything about the lotus seed pod clearly.
It was the Karma Fire Platform Seal!
Because she condensed the 'Karma' character law, she awakened this Karma Fire Platform, and now, the Karma Fire Platform had recognized her as its master.
Hua Hua Changxi didn't expect that it would be so easy to obtain a Blessed Land.
Just when she was happy, complex red karma patterns appeared on the dark red lotus seed pod, looking exactly like fresh blood flowing in blood vessels.
Where she stood, dark red flames burst out from the karma patterns, quickly climbing up her feet, lower legs, thighs...
The suddenly appearing dark red flames startled Hua Hua Changxi, but she wasn't too panicked.
She knew that the flames bursting from the lotus seed pod were 'Karma Fire'. Not sensing any danger, she suddenly wanted to experience how Karma Fire burned the body.
But she was still actively trying to stop the spread of the Karma Fire, but unfortunately, she tried every method and couldn't succeed. It seemed that once she touched the Karma Fire, she couldn't get rid of it.
Hua Hua Changxi could only watch helplessly as the Karma Fire drowned her.
The Karma Fire didn't burn her clothes, but instead penetrated into her skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs like countless fine needles and blades...
"Is this the pain of Karma Fire burning the body?"
Hua Hua Changxi felt for the first time that being burned by flames was so painful that she couldn't stand firm and had to fall onto the lotus seed pod.
The pain of Karma Fire burning the body was like experiencing the torture of a thousand cuts.
Just as she was about to be unable to bear it and wanted to use the 'Ten Thousand Fires Facing the Ancestor' divine ability to resist the burning of the Karma Fire, a burning lotus petal drifted in front of her.
The flames surged and twisted, and images quickly appeared on the lotus petal.
Karma Shadow!
The images revealed many scenes, some before cultivation, some after, some warm scenes, and some scenes of confrontation and sword-drawing.
Many scenes passed by in a hurry, and only a few scenes slowed down, such as the scenes where she killed people, the scenes where she fought, and the scenes where she saved people.
Hua Hua Changxi looked at the images on the lotus petal in a daze, not even caring about the pain of Karma Fire burning her body.
"Are these the karma I carry?"
Soon, Hua Hua Changxi had no time to estimate the images on the lotus petal.
If she could still endure the physical pain earlier, at this moment, she actually felt the Karma Fire penetrate into her spiritual roots, not only burning the spiritual roots but also rushing into her dantian along the spiritual roots.
This time, she really panicked. Worried that the Karma Fire would burn her dantian and spiritual roots, she subconsciously used the 'Ten Thousand Fires Facing the Ancestor' divine ability.
Unfortunately, 'Ten Thousand Fires Facing the Ancestor' was ineffective against Karma Fire.
Just like 'Ten Thousand Fires Facing the Ancestor' was ineffective against Yin flames, the burning of Yin flames relied on one's own desires; if desires were not extinguished, the Yin flames would not go out.
Karma Fire was the same; if karma did not stop, Karma Fire would not go out.
Ten Thousand Fires Facing the Ancestor could only control natural flames.
Hua Hua Changxi was helpless and immediately sat cross-legged, protecting her spiritual roots and dantian.
At first, she wanted to suppress the Karma Fire, but the more she suppressed it, the more intense the pain she suffered. When it reached her limit, she had to try to let go of the suppression of the Karma Fire to alleviate the pain.
Between letting go of the Karma Fire and suppressing the Karma Fire, Hua Hua Changxi gradually figured out that Karma Fire could not be suppressed.
Letting the Karma Fire burn and facing the images on the lotus petal could burn away the karma on her body.
She saw that when the Karma Fire burned freely, black gas would seep out from her spiritual roots and dantian, and the originally dark red Karma Fire would become even more gloomy.
After extreme pain came extreme peace and harmony, even carrying a kind of inexplicable joy.
The color conversion of the Karma Fire was very abrupt. As the heart of the fire turned from black to green, Hua Hua Changxi's whole person, from body to soul, became light, as if she were about to ascend. ===== CHAPTER 348 =====
