Chapter 185 - Ksitigarbha Sutra

“Come in.”

A voice broke the silence, and it was a female voice. Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and made a guess. He was no longer cautious and walked into the manor.

It was still a world of flames inside, but the path on the ground was formed by a bright orange flame. It was a stark contrast to the black flame that formed the ground. It was probably a guide, afraid that Lin Xuan would get lost.

They walked along the bright path of flames. Compared to the outside of the manor, there was more life here. The chirping of insects and the chirping of birds could not be heard. From time to time, they could even see the agile fire squirrel munching on a huge hazelnut.

The path of flames led to the depths of the manor. The deeper they went, the stronger the fire creatures that appeared. Their intelligence was also higher. The fire-armored warthog, the flaming earth ape… the most terrifying thing was that a gigantic flaming phoenix flew across the sky and disappeared before his eyes.

This was the path of life?!

Using flames as the foundation of the Great Dao, he comprehended life from it, and finally jumped out and walked towards the authority to control life!

Inexplicably, Lin Xuan’s heart was greatly shocked. This scene was really beyond his imagination. He had always thought that ability users were just a little stronger. At the mystic-rank, one punch could destroy a small mountain peak, and at the earth-rank, the punch could suppress mountains and rivers. With a single move, it had the power to change the world.

Even if it was to comprehend elemental supreme, it would only make the ability user’s power stronger.

Now, he realized that he was wrong. From the beginning, he realized that it was his spiritual body that came here. He had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this world. This was definitely not an illusion! Was it a small world that was similar to the heart of the Earth realm?!

Was this the embodiment of the Phoenix’s Dao?!

The Dao existed for real!

Forcefully suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Lin Xuan pushed open the bamboo door at the end of the flaming path and stepped into the house.

In Lin Xuan’s eyes, it was just an ordinary bamboo house. However, after entering, he realized that there was a different world here. No, it was not a different world. It was a completely different scene.

This was a magnificent hall that was very similar to the ancient imperial palace. In the depths of the hall, there was a high platform. There was a beautiful woman dressed in a scarlet robe. She leaned on the armrest and supported her head. She crossed her legs and revealed her snow-white calves, she was looking at him with interest.

“Greetings, Bright Phoenix!”

Lin Xuan nodded slightly and said loudly.

“Don’t worry. When I was treating you, I left a trace of power in your body. When I sensed that you had woken up, I naturally activated it and brought your consciousness here.”

After taking a few glances at Lin Xuan, she stood up and walked down the high platform. As she walked, the environment also began to change. After walking in front of Lin Xuan, this place had already turned into a normal bamboo pavilion.

The pressure was very strong!

He did not dare to move at all. In his eyes, it was as if a prehistoric beast was walking toward him, as if it would tear him into pieces in the next second. This was something that the principal had never exuded. Even a serious prehistoric beast did not give him such a terrifying feeling.

“Sit.”

The Bright Phoenix was the first to sit on the bamboo chair. As she spat out a word, the pressure that came at him dissipated. This caused Lin Xuan to wake up. He hurriedly took a few deep breaths, but after doing this action, he realized that he had a spiritual body and didn’t need to breathe at all.

He awkwardly sat on the bamboo chair opposite the Bright Phoenix under her slightly amused gaze. “I haven’t thanked you for treating me before. Thank you very much.”

“Heh, you little fellow, just don’t waste my vegetable garden anymore.”

The Bright Phoenix laughed lightly, and in an instant, it was extremely charming. The spring scenery filled the garden, causing Lin Xuan to be distracted for a moment. Then, he returned to his senses and circulated the myriad difficulties spirit entering the holy tribulation. Unfortunately, it was useless. This wasn’t a charm spell… it was almost seductive!

Lowering his head, Lin Xuan dared not look at the Bright Phoenix anymore as he replied, “Of course, of course. It was really unbearable for me to be chased by six Yin Spirits. May I know why you called me here?”

Lin Xuan didn’t dare delay his fate. Facing this top powerhouse in Taixia Country, her strength, wealth, power and beauty were all top-notch. He couldn’t stand her smile. Therefore, he decided to get straight to the point. Otherwise, he would make a fool of himself!

Speaking of serious business, she revealed a faint smile instead of being serious at all, “You’ve sparred with Buddha Fozi some time ago. Both of you are severely wounded. I’ve treated your wounds. As for his wounds… I just saved his life.

“Of course, that’s not the main point. They took the prey by force. Taixia Country is in the right. Therefore, we’ve temporarily detained them. Buddha Fozi is in a hurry to go back for treatment and cultivation. He will not wait for the negotiation between the two countries. Therefore, he will look for you. You’re the key!

“If you’re an ordinary person, nothing will happen to you. However, you’re not. As the third most powerful person in Taixia Country who’s growing up, you’re one of the top talents in Taixia Country. Many people who you don’t know are watching you. Additionally, you have more authority than you can imagine.

“Let’s get back to the main point. If you agree to let them go back, of course, they can go back. Actually, I shouldn’t interfere with them. You make your own decision. However, Buddha Fozi has something that interests me.”

Lin Xuan’s body trembled when he heard that. “I’ll definitely get it to repay you for saving me!”

“You’re really smart, kid.” She chuckled. “If you can help me get the original copy of the Ksitigarbha Sutra, I won’t take advantage of you and perform a Dao for you!”

What? There’s such a good thing!

Although he didn’t know what the Dao was about, to be able to make this expert make such a solemn promise, it shouldn’t be anything bad.

‘I’m definitely going to do this!’

After finishing the official business, Lin Xuan would not go back like this. Therefore, she took this opportunity to ask Lin Xuan about her doubts and troubles in Double calamity. After all, the Bright Phoenix was not only powerful, but she was also very knowledgeable. She also participated in the compilation of Double Calamity.

As the richest woman in Taixia Country, Lin Xuan’s doubts were solved by just a few simple words. Additionally, she sorted it out from top to bottom, which made Lin Xuan get a greater understanding of Double Calamity, however, he also got a piece of bad news.

It was extremely difficult to cultivate Double Calamity at this age. Unless by chance, one had awakened a suitable talent, one’s physique could be cultivated to an immortal body, when one’s primordial spirit was cultivated to the thousand difficulties realm, it was already the limit.

However, the indestructible body and the thousand difficulties realm were just the beginning of the dual tribulations. No, it was not even the beginning. When one’s physique entered the eternal indestructible body and experienced the immeasurable tribulations, one would finally attain perfection, invincible in this world!

It was the same for the primordial spirit. After entering the thousand difficulties realm and experiencing the saint ascension tribulations, one would finally attain perfection and become immortal!

With a bitter laugh, Lin Xuan was helpless because even someone as strong as the Bright Phoenix was helpless!
