Gao Xuan is not an impatient person, but Wang Haichan and Li Buyi are about to duel, so he wants to take this opportunity to go to Tianji Palace and snatch back the Kunyuan Divine Spear.
But since the Karma Fire Lotus didn't bloom, he could only wait.
According to Jin Wufeng, the Fire Lotus of Karma only blooms once every 100 million years. The Kunyuan Divine Spear is placed in the Tianji Palace and cannot be lost.
No matter how he chose, Gao Xuan could only choose the Fire Lotus of Karma. But he was a little anxious.
At this moment, the Karma Fire Lotus blossomed.
One hundred and eight blood-red petals opened layer by layer, and with each opening of a petal, the heat in the air increased by one degree.
This place was already as hot as a furnace, and as the temperature continued to rise, Shui Qingbo couldn't bear it anymore.
Even with the Nanming Lihuo Sword, Shui Qingbo could not withstand such high temperatures. The extremely fierce power of the karmic fire was directed at the soul.
Gao Xuan realized that the situation was not good and immediately put Shui Qingbo into his sleeve.
I originally wanted to bring Shui Qingbo along to get some of the fairy spirit, but it seems this is not a good thing.
Jin Wufeng was indeed cunning. The power of karmic fire released when the karmic fire red lotus bloomed was enough to destroy a person's body and soul.
Only the White Tiger's flawless golden body can withstand the pervasive karmic fire.
However, Jin Wufeng was overthinking. The karmic fire was aimed directly at the soul, which was not something that the White Tiger's perfect golden body could stop.
With Jin Wufeng's spiritual level, he would be turned into ashes immediately by the karma fire.
The Karma Fire Red Lotus blooms only once every billions of years and is indeed extremely overbearing.
The Nine Mountains Mysterious Heavenly Clothes could not stop the fire of the Fire Red Lotus. Even the Vermillion Bird Ring was useless under the fire.
Fortunately, the world in his sleeves is a world of his own. As long as the Jiuyue Xuanming Heavenly Clothes is intact, Shui Qingbo will be fine staying inside.
The crimson karmic fire penetrated through numerous spiritual weapons and fell directly on Gao Xuan.
The flawless golden body of the White Tiger that Gao Xuan had been cultivating for the past few days also played a role. The whole body was flawless, and although the karmic fire was strong, it could not enter Gao Xuan's body.
But within Gao Xuan's sea of consciousness, large areas of karmic fire were connected together, turning the sea of consciousness into a sea of fire.
Gao Xuan's soul was trapped in the red sea of fire. Although his soul was powerful, it was still inferior to the karmic fire.
Fortunately, his spirit and soul were extremely strong, and he was able to protect his spirit and soul firmly enough to resist the erosion of the karma fire.
Just wait for the red lotus to bloom and the karmic fire will subside.
Gao Xuan thought so, but he didn't expect that the blooming of the Karma Fire Red Lotus would be so terrifying.
Every time a petal of the extremely gorgeous blood-red lotus opens, the karmic fire becomes stronger.
By the time the outermost thirty-six petals unfolded, Gao Xuan already felt the pressure.
The red lotus bloomed very quickly, but by the time it fully blossomed, his soul would be refined by the fire of karma.
But as the master of Jiuyue Xuanming Tianyi, he couldn't fit himself into the universe in his sleeves.
At this time, it was too late for Gao Xuan to leave even if he wanted to.
This was not because Gao Xuan was careless, it was because the six-winged cicada did not send out any warning. He did not feel there was any danger.
As a result, the Karma Fire Lotus was so overbearing that it far exceeded his expectations.
Not until this time did the six-winged cicada flap its wings and chirp loudly, making an extremely sharp cry.
Gao Xuan also sighed in his heart, it’s useless to ask for help at this time, it’s a pity that I trust you so much.
The White Tiger's perfect golden body can withstand the fire for a while. The key is that the fire is not very destructive to matter. The real power of the fire is to burn the soul.
Gao Xuan wanted to scold Jin Wufeng again, saying that he was really ignorant and incompetent. He was really courting death by relying on his mediocre White Tiger Perfect Golden Body to take on the Infernal Fire Lotus.
As the chirping of the six-winged cicada became louder and louder, the power of karma fire had already penetrated into Gao Xuan's soul.
It was also the first time that Gao Xuan felt the excruciating pain of his soul burning. Physical pain always has a limit.
The pain at the soul level has no limit.
It was not until this time that Gao Xuan understood how cruel the method of refining the soul was. He even thought that Yang Yunjun was too easy.
Gao Xuan's soul was eroded by the karmic fire, and all his negative emotions exploded at once.
In his previous life, he went with the flow in a daze and ended up dying in obscurity.
Starting over again, although I had a good hand, I also did some stupid things.
Including the matter of the Nine-Revolution Divine Cicada, he had no confidence at all, but he just ran to accept the trial, really thinking that he was the master of destiny.
All of Gao Xuan's memories emerged, and the related negative emotions became fuel for the karmic fire, making Gao Xuan's soul burn even more fiercely.
The intense pain on the soul level, in turn, became the fuel for the karmic fire. In this cycle, Gao Xuan's soul was about to turn into ashes in the karmic fire.
Gao Xuan also knew that he had to suppress the pain at the spiritual level and not be swayed by negative emotions.
But knowing is one thing, being able to do it is another.
There was no way to suppress the severe pain at the soul level, and Gao Xuan couldn't control it.
The only thing Gao Xuan can control is his own heart and his emotions.
After all, he was an assassin, and he remained calm at the most critical moment, even though the pain in his soul almost tore him into thousands of pieces.
At this time, the second layer of petals of the Karma Fire Lotus just opened, and the thirty-six inner circle petals were ready to bloom one after another.
Gao Xuan knew that if he couldn't suppress the karmic fire at this time, he would be completely finished.
Of course, this is also a precious opportunity to temper the soul.
Usually, Gao Xuan observed his own soul, which was as clear inside and out as glass, and seemed to have the ability to last forever.
Under the fire of karma, Gao Xuan discovered how fragile his soul was. Deep within his soul, which was as clear as glass, there were countless negative emotions and countless tiny loopholes.
The so-called unity of inside and outside, and perfection of the original state, are just his own opinions.
After going through so many world trials, his progress at the spiritual level was limited.
However, he has made progress after all.
Past lives and present lives, various things in several trial worlds, and hundreds of years of cultivation in the Book of Creation, all of these add up to a thousand years.
Gao Xuan recalled his own experiences and felt that the most important thing was his self-confidence that destiny lay in him.
Reborn, I am the master of destiny. Nothing is beyond my control.
Gao Xuan thought of this and shouted at the soul level: "I am the destiny!"
This was not Gao Xuan shouting a slogan, but he inspired the six-winged sky cicada to bring out the Aurora Sword: Destiny.
Naturally, he had no sword in his hand, nor was there any sword weapon in his soul. Gao Xuan was able to use his destiny with only the three pairs of wings of his innate divine object, the six-winged celestial cicada.
The six-winged celestial cicada is also the only divine creature in Gao Xuan’s soul.
Gao Xuan understood the key, and the six-winged cicada responded immediately, with three pairs of transparent wings vibrating at a high frequency.
At this moment, Gao Xuan recalled his experience of reincarnation and Zen in the first world.
He regards the six-winged celestial cicada as his natal magical object, but he has never considered himself as the six-winged celestial cicada.
It was obvious that he was the master of the Six-Winged Celestial Cicada. The Six-Winged Celestial Cicada was nothing more than a strange object, a strange object that helped him possess great power.
At this critical moment, Gao Xuan understood a truth: he was indeed a six-winged celestial cicada, but he never understood what a six-winged celestial cicada was.
How can one control the six-winged celestial cicada if he does not understand its nature and unleash its true power
Transforming himself into a cicada helped him understand the cicada's survival habits and wisdom.
Although that cicada was not a six-winged cicada, the principle was the same.
Gao Xuan understood the crucial truth, and his soul naturally became one with the six-winged celestial cicada, and they were no longer distinguishable from each other.
The layers of evil fire on the six-winged cicada's body dissipated under the high-speed vibration of its three pairs of wings.
The agile six-winged cicada can find gaps in the heavy fire and avoid being besieged by it.
At this moment, the thirty-six petals of the third layer of the Karma Fire Red Lotus bloomed one by one.
The power of the hellfire increased again.
Although the destiny that Gao Xuan displayed was wonderful, it could not withstand the increased level of karma fire.
The dark gold six-winged cicada also turned into a ball of red in the flames. The three pairs of wings vibrating at high speeds could not withstand the red flames.
Gao Xuan was also thinking that destiny is the general trend. He was reborn and relied on the six-winged celestial cicada to seize the initiative everywhere and go with the flow. Only then can it be said that destiny is on my side!
It doesn't mean that if you have mastered destiny, you can manipulate fate at will.
At this moment, the karmic fire lotus blossomed, and the karmic fire burned all the souls. This was the general trend. At this moment, it was not his turn to control fate.
Even if he has faith in my destiny, he cannot change the facts.
Gao Xuan thought back on his life. What enlightenment did he have that pointed directly to his true nature
Is it the agility to flee thousands of miles away if the attack fails? Is it the meticulousness to anticipate the enemy? Is it the perseverance to never give up? Is it the decisiveness to kill? Is it the courage to fear no life or death? Is it the unrestrainedness to not be bound by rules
Gao Xuan felt that none of these were right. These were his characteristics and his nature, but they were not enough to cope with the huge changes before him.
Gao Xuan thought of that martial arts world, the Thirteen Guardians' horizontal training, and the Sumeru Mountain Spear.
In that world, he realized the simplest truth: horizontal means going against the flow!
What do I rely on to rebel? It’s because of my unparalleled strength!
The reason why the Thirteen Guardians are so powerful is because they are so powerful that they can do whatever they want.
If destiny is not in my hands, then I will fight with all my might.
When Gao Xuan thought of this, the Thirteen Guardians' Horizontal Training Method naturally emerged in his mind.
He didn't need to temper his body at this moment. He just needed to use this extremely powerful will to strengthen his soul.
The spirit and soul are innate, but are dominated by acquired emotions and consciousness.
Gao Xuan took the unparalleled domineering power from the Thirteen Guardians and strengthened his soul with it. His soul readjusted and condensed with this thought as the core.
No matter how Gao Xuan realizes the karma fire, the power of the karma fire has already penetrated Gao Xuan's soul inside and out.
Just as Gao Xuan's soul was about to be destroyed, golden light shone on his soul and it automatically split into points of golden light.
In an instant, the scattered golden light recombined into a six-winged cicada.
Through destruction, decomposition, and reorganization, Gao Xuan's soul also got rid of all the karmic fire.
Dark gold threads appeared on the surface of the six-winged cicada, which quickly turned into a dark gold cocoon, completely wrapping up Gao Xuan's soul.
At this time, the 108 petals of the Karma Fire Red Lotus were fully opened.
The blooming red lotus shows an incomparable beauty of vitality. It seems that all the beauty in the world is condensed in it.
However, the power of the karmic fire also reached its peak at the same time.
The most beautiful red lotus is born from death and destruction.
The dark gold cocoon silently melted in the fire of karma, revealing Gao Xuan's soul.
This time, Gao Xuan’s soul was no longer in the image of a six-winged celestial cicada, but had returned to its original appearance.
However, his soul and body seemed unusually solid, and no longer transparent like glass inside and out. Instead, they looked like they were cast in gold. The muscles in his body were strong and smooth, as if they contained endless power.
The extremely powerful state of mind and spirit exudes an overbearing power from the inside out.
This kind of power is so solid and strong that even though the karmic fire is strong, it is directly repelled by the power of the soul.
Under the tempering of karmic fire, Gao Xuan's Immortal Golden Cicada was stimulated to undergo a transformation, allowing Gao Xuan to perish and be reborn.
At this time, the six-winged cicada turned into dark gold armor and wrapped up Gao Xuan's soul.
Gao Xuan had a sudden realization in his heart. It was not until this moment that the Mechanical War Cicada, the Immortal Golden Cicada, and the Six-Winged Sky Cicada truly merged into one and truly and completely merged with his soul.
At this point, the karmic fire no longer posed any threat.
Gao Xuan could also calmly appreciate the beauty of the blooming Karma Fire Red Lotus. No matter where this flower came from, the appearance of the blooming red lotus was indeed extremely beautiful.
After the Karma Fire Red Lotus bloomed to its fullest, the 108 petals instantly withered, leaving only three golden lotus seeds in the center of the lotus pod, shining with pure and beautiful golden light in the air...
