764 Crossing the Tribulation and Leaving the Netherworld
“Brother Jiang, is there any way to reduce this pain? Can I just block my five senses?” Song Yuqing gritted her teeth and said.
“What are you thinking? If it can be solved so easily, the karmic fire won’t have become the legendary fire all the people fear of. It’s impossible. There is no way to reduce the pain in the karmic fire, even if one blocks the five senses. Medicine can’t reduce the pain. On the contrary, the impurities in the medicine will make the fire last longer. This is karmic fire, the karma that comes from one’s body. Karma exists in one’s body, so it’s naturally everywhere. No one can avoid it.”
Jiang Ni shook his head and said, “I can’t save myself either. My karma is… a lot compared to the others!”
When he said this, he could not help but reveal a trace of bitterness.
With every step he took, the pain he suffered was several times more than the others.
Fortunately, they were all genius who could cultivate until now. They were outstanding in both their heart and soul. In a chaotic world, no one can go far without perseverance. Their wills and minds were already trained during the battles and slaughter. In the Netherworld River, the spirit raftman saw the four of them stepping on the Lycorisradiata path, and their bodies were covered in karmic fire. A strange look flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself the scripture in “Sad-dharma Puṇḍárīka Sūtra”.
There seemed to be an indescribable sense of Zen in his voice.
Who could pass through the Lycorisradiata and go ashore? Who could appreciate this beautiful Flower of Hell?
“The karmic fire on my body is gone, and so the pain from before has disappeared. I feel an unprecedented sense of relaxation in my body. It’s as if I have put down a heavy burden and broken free of endless shackles. This feeling is extremely wonderful!”
After an unknown period of screams rang out, the terrifying pain on the hunched figures disappeared.
Song Yuqing was about to collapse, but she recovered in an instant. Her body felt better than ever. Her flesh and blood became crystal clear as if she had ice-like skin and jade-like bones. She was born with an innate body.
“The karma in your body has been burned out by the karmic fire. You have no more karma in your body,” said Jiang Ni with a trembling voice.
To be able to escape from the karmic fire in the shortest time meant that she was not a person with too much karma. Naturally, she could escape easily.
Without any karma, Song Yuqing no longer felt any pain as she stepped on the clusters of Lycorisradiata. Instead, she had the leisure to admire the stunning beauty of the flowers. Looking at the beautiful Lycorisradiata, Song Yuqing’s heart was filled with amazement and her eyes revealed a strong shock.
“Hiss! This pain is truly excruciating. But the more it is like this, the more I can’t give up. No matter how powerful the karmic fire is, it won’t be able to destroy my will.”
Li Xiang felt as if he had been through hell countless times. The pain was indescribable. Every moment was a blow to his will.
Every step forward required all the strength in his body.
“I will never be defeated by the karmic fire. As long as I don’t want to die, the karmic fire can’t destroy me!”
The muscles on Wushuang Ghost’s body trembled, and the chains clattered continuously. His face was already rather pale, and he spitted out flames when he breathed. Every step he took was extremely difficult and his body was constantly swaying as if he would fall at any moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Wushuang Ghost’s body trembled, and it felt that the endless pain had disappeared in an instant. This sudden feeling of relaxation made his soul feel like it was about to completely sublimate and transform.
“I’ve overcome the karmic fire!” Wushuang Ghost’s face revealed a look of surprise.
“Karmic fire is truly terrifying. The Lycorisradiata truly lives up to its reputation as the Flower of Hell. Fortunately, the karmic fire is maintained at a constant level and does not erupt completely. Otherwise, I would be seriously injured even if I didn’t die. This shouldn’t be the real karmic fire, but a weakened one. The Lycorisradiata only contains the karmic fire.”
At this moment, Li Xiang also felt that the karmic fire in his body had completely dissipated, and his entire body relaxed.
The legendary karmic fire must be much more terrifying than this. Although the karmic fire burnt, one could still hold on as long as one could ensure that one’s will was not shaken and not eroded. However, the legendary true karmic fire was a terrifying divine flame that could even incinerate immortals and gods into ashes.
Immortals and gods were existences with strong wills and minds. If they could not withstand it, what more those transcendent cultivators could do?
He didn’t believe that the will of those immortals and gods was inferior to his. If the karmic fire was so easy to resist, it wouldn’t have caused fear in countless mighty figures.
The karmic fire contained within the Lycorisradiata could only be considered to have a trace of the power of the karmic fire. Even so, it was already quite terrifying.
“The gate of hell! Quick! Once we pass through the gate, we should be able to leave this place,” Jiang Ni walked over quickly and said with a hoarse voice.
“Let’s go. We’ll talk about other things after we leave this place!”
Li Xiang glanced around and saw that the darkness was gloomy and extremely depressing. This must not be a good place. Although he didn’t know if this was the Netherworld, it was certainly not the mortal world.
As he spoke, he quickly turned around and dug up countless Lycorisradiata from the ground at his fastest speed. He then placed them into a treasure box.
Although the Lycorisradiata couldn’t grow in the mortal world, it wasn’t a problem to pick it from the Netherworld as long as it was well preserved.
Since he had come across a rare treasure like the Lycorisradiata, he naturally couldn’t miss it. He instinctively picked a portion of it.
Not only he but Song Yuqing and the rest also started to pick.
It wasn’t easy to touch a Lycorisradiata, and they didn’t know if they could see it again in the future. As long as they could bring back such a treasure from the Netherworld, its value in the mortal world would be immeasurable.
No one who could cultivate to this point was a fool. If they didn’t take this kind of obvious benefit, then their brains were crystallized.
“Let’s go!” After Li Xiang harvested a portion of it, he didn’t delay any further. No one knew if the gate of hell would suddenly disappear. The sooner they entered, the better. He moved his feet, and his body naturally stepped into the gate of hell. Before he left, he subconsciously left a coordinate mark nearby.
Jiang Ni and the others didn’t hesitate to enter the gate of hell.
