Chapter 348: Nine Heavens Fire Spring

Following the extinguishing of the Karma Fire, Hua Changxi was even somewhat reluctant, wanting the Karma Fire to burn for a while longer.

There was no other reason; the peace and harmony she felt from body to soul were truly too wonderful. At that moment, she seemed to have merged with heaven and earth, endless and eternal.

She felt her entire existence, so she was filled with joy.

Having experienced a complete burning process of Karma Fire, Hua Changxi had some understanding of karma.

The karma a person carries includes evil karma and good karma.

Karma Fire burns evil karma and converts good karma.

Evil karma damages the foundation, while good karma strengthens the foundation.

When Karma Fire burns evil karma, from the physical body to the spiritual roots, to the dantian, then to the inner core and Nascent Soul, and even to the sea of consciousness and primordial spirit, all will suffer multiple burnings. The pain of burning the body is not only punishment but also a retrospection and amplification of 'evil'.

When converting good karma, from the physical body to the primordial spirit, it will be nourished and repaired. At the same time, it is also an affirmation and recognition of 'good'.

A person's karma cannot deceive anyone. As long as it is done, it will remain on the body.

Through the Karma Shadow revealed by the Karma Fire lotus petals, one can strip away artificial disguises and face one's own evil and good directly.

Hua Changxi looked through her body. After the burning of the Karma Fire, her physical body became more solid, her spiritual roots became more brilliant, and her dantian became more stable.

What surprised her most was that after being burned by the Karma Fire, the black flames on her Nascent Soul became smaller!

At this moment, Hua Changxi was more relaxed than ever before.

Hua Changxi looked around at the lotus platform with shining eyes.

This Karma Fire Terrace was undoubtedly an extraordinary Blessed Land. Being here would be a witness, and at the same time, it would receive a corresponding judgment.

As long as one could withstand the burning of the Karma Fire, the state of mind would be sublimated to a certain extent. At the very least, one could see through the Karma Shadow and see some things that were usually ignored.

For example, the fear and anxiety buried in the bottom of her heart.

At this moment, Hua Changxi understood a bit of what Jing Le meant when he said she 'lived in fear'. Some fixed states of mind had loosened.

Although she saw some of her own fear and anxiety from the Karma Shadow, she still couldn't let go.

She couldn't imagine, if there were no drive from fear and anxiety, would she still have the motivation and need to move forward?

Hua Changxi let out a breath and didn't continue to think deeply. Then, she summoned the Karma Fire Terrace Seal and dripped a drop of essence blood on it, and her perception of the lotus platform became clearer and clearer.

The Karma Fire Terrace had suffered heavy damage. Except for the lotus seed pod platform, which had no major missing parts, the outer lotus petals all had varying degrees of damage.

No need to think, this must have been caused by that ancient invasion war.

With a thought, Hua Changxi disappeared from the lotus seed pod platform and hovered above the lotus petals on the periphery of the lotus platform.

The outermost lotus petals were the most severely damaged. In a few places, the entire petal was gone, and most of the petals only had one-fifth to one-third left.

The Karma Fire Terrace was not built from some natural object in heaven and earth. It was ignited by a seed of karma fire dropped by the Zhu Que Emperor, and then, through burning karma, it was condensed from karma.

Therefore, every lotus petal carried karma.

Hua Changxi collected some lotus petal fragments, preparing to take these fragments out and give them to Tong Yao, asking him to help forge them into karma boxes and place them at the four corners of the Lingguang Hall plaza, so as to collect the 'public opinion' of the Zhu Que Army.

There is an irreconcilable structural contradiction between those who manage and those who are managed.

Putting 'opinions' into the karma box will increase the karma of the person who puts them in, which can to a certain extent avoid malicious attacks.

If there really were 'injustice' in the Zhu Que Army, reporting 'opinions', although it would bear a certain amount of karma, she thought that most Zhu Que Army members would be willing to bear it in order to seek justice.

This is the best means Hua Changxi can think of to balance the managers of the Lingguang Hall and the ordinary Zhu Que Army members.

She also knew clearly that the biggest problem was that she didn't have time to participate in the management of the Zhu Que Army personally, and could only maintain stability through this method of mutual supervision.

Afterward, Hua Changxi looked at the other places of the Karma Fire Terrace one by one, and after confirming there were no other discoveries, she condensed the Karma Fire Red Lotus to open the spatial crack and prepared to leave.

Coming out of the Karma Fire Terrace, it was already dark.

Hua Changxi, who was relaxed, seeing that it was a dark and windy night, which was more suitable for finding the Twelve Blessed Lands, did not return to the Lingguang Hall or Alchemy Origin Peak.

The Twelve Blessed Lands of Nanxiang City, when connected, form a Zhu Que totem. Now with the Karma Fire Terrace as an anchor, it would be easier to find other Blessed Lands.

And the one closest to the Karma Fire Terrace was the Nine Heavens Fire Spring.

After Hua Changxi arrived at the approximate location of the Nine Heavens Fire Spring manifested by the Zhou Tian Star Disk, she began to circle in the air.

This was a flat and open place, neither a canyon nor a cliff. She couldn't imagine that there would be a waterfall flowing through here.

But the Zhou Tian Star Disk and the news explored by the Zhu Que Army all indicated that this place was the location of the 'Nine Heavens Fire Spring', so she could only patiently search carefully little by little.

Although this place had no canyons or cliffs, there were quite a few lakes and rivers.

Finally, relying on her perception of spatial fluctuations, Hua Changxi found several spatial cracks.

These spatial cracks were very small, the largest being only an inch long. If it weren't for her mastering the 'Crack' character law of space, being sensitive to spatial fluctuations, and searching carefully, these spatial cracks would not have been easy to find.

If anyone else passed by, they would definitely not be able to find them.

"How to get in?"

Hua Changxi fell silent. She absolutely did not want to happen again the thing of 'making wedding clothes for others'.

She found the Blessed Land, and others came to occupy it. This kind of thing could not happen a second time.

In order to find a suitable entry and exit point, Hua Changxi wandered for a whole night. Finally, when it was almost dawn, she discovered a spatial crack suitable as an entry and exit point at the bottom of a lake.

Hua Changxi condensed a spiritual energy shield, stood at the bottom of the lake, carefully prying the spatial crack, not daring to open the crack too large, so as not to attract others.

Relying on her physical body being strong enough, she squeezed in when the spatial crack was only three feet long.

"Boom~"

Passing through the spatial crack, Hua Changxi was placed in the scalding water flow pouring down.

The heat, size, speed, and weight of the water flow were the most she had ever seen in her life.

Even though her body was bearing the huge scouring force, Hua Changxi still gritted her teeth and condensed a fire lotus, blocking the spatial crack, and then quickly flew away from the water flow and landed on a nearby stone.

As soon as she stood firm, Hua Changxi was shocked by the scenery in front of her.

Flying down three thousand feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling from the nine heavens.

This poem appeared concretely in Hua Changxi's vision at this moment.

The sky seemed to have a big hole, causing the red fire spring from above the firmament to pour down here, condensing into a magnificent and shocking waterfall scene.

The red silk poured down from above the nine layers of clouds, as if the heaven and earth had cracked a red seam here.

Placed in it, one only felt the waterfall roaring like thunder, like ten thousand horses trampling the nine heavens. There was no need to fly into the waterfall; just the sound of the waterfall made one's heart and soul tremble.

The fire spring smashed into the deep pool underground, splashing waves dozens of feet high, but the pool surface did not see any turbidity, instead shining with a moist red light.

When the waves fell, they actually condensed into transparent red lotuses on the water surface, with faint fluorescence flowing on the petals, which turned into mist and dissipated after a while, making this place look like a hazy fairyland.

After an unknown amount of time, Hua Changxi recovered from the beautiful scenery, followed by great joy.

Not only was the fire spiritual energy here shockingly rich, but the pouring fire spring waterfall was also an excellent place for body refining. Most importantly, the roaring sound of the fire spring eruption helped the five internal organs vibrate and resonate together.

After patrolling the Nine Heavens Fire Spring area and finding no anomalies, Hua Changxi couldn't wait to try the effect of this body-refining place.

Hua Changxi took out the spiritual medicine she had prepared long ago, boiled a pot of body-refining medicinal bath, soaked in the medicinal bath, took a six-pattern Profound Yellow Fruit, and then plunged into the fire spring waterfall.

At first, she didn't dare to go upstream of the waterfall, only daring to find a place in the downstream of the waterfall where the water flow was not so turbulent, and operated the "Nine Turns Profound Art" Sixth Chapter — Internal Organs Chapter method at full speed.

Soon, Hua Changxi was immersed in it and could not perceive the passage of time.

At the same time, the Duke of Liang, whose bloodline power was burned away by Hua Changxi's sword, finally woke up after taking a large amount of heaven-defying treasures.

As soon as he woke up, the Duke of Liang learned that he would stop at the Spirit Platform stage, and immediately collapsed, shouting loudly to find Hua Changxi for revenge.

Unfortunately, Hua Changxi had not appeared.

The Duke of Liang's mansion also had people planted in the Medical Department, knowing that Hua Changxi was also severely injured by the Duke of Liang, and now she should be in seclusion to heal.

Not knowing how long Hua Changxi would be in seclusion, the Duke of Liang, who had nowhere to vent, aimed his spearhead directly at the Hua family.

Fortunately, in order to deal with the arrival of foreign cultivators, the capital had issued a regulation that cultivators could not move at will in the city, so the Hua family members were not persecuted by the Duke of Liang's mansion.

But given the disparity in status and power between the Duke of Liang's mansion and the Hua family, even if they didn't attack directly, the Duke of Liang's mansion had plenty of ways to torture and make things difficult for the Hua family.

After Hua Minghe's three brothers, as well as Yao's three sisters-in-law, were successively attacked by invisible attacks, the Dingyuan Count Mansion withstood the pressure and took the panicked Hua family to the Count Mansion.

It was the Count Mansion after all, and it still had some connections in the capital's nobility circle.

Not long after the Dingyuan Count Mansion came forward, under the mediation of many parties, the Duke of Liang's mansion took a step back.

They threatened that as long as the Hua family took out five Profound Yellow Fruits from one-pattern to five-pattern to repair the Duke of Liang's body, the grudge between the Duke of Liang's mansion and the Hua family would be settled, otherwise, they would be at odds with the Hua family.

The Duke of Liang wanted Profound Yellow Fruits, not one, but five. As soon as this news came out... any cultivator who knew the efficacy of the Profound Yellow Fruit gasped.

"The Duke of Liang really dares to open his mouth!"

"In front of the Duke of Liang's mansion, the Hua family is just an ant. When treating ants, who would be polite?"

"I am very curious, will Hua Changxi really yield?"

"Unless she doesn't care about the life or death of the Hua family at all, otherwise, she will have to yield if she wants to or not." ===== CHAPTER 349 =====
