Chapter 412: Chapter 219: The Crimson Red Thread of Fate_1

Translator: 549690339

Upon observing a monster beast emerge from the lava lake, Lin Yi had his defenses ready. Without any sign of panic, he channeled the art of Piano-refining Alchemy Technique to instantly withdraw all the spiritual energy out of the Paper Man.

The Paper Man, which was initially as lifelike as a human, deflated rapidly and turned into a thin layer of skin, causing the beast to miss its attack.

Then, with the control of spiritual power, the paper man swiftly flew in the opposite direction.

The enraged monster beast in the lava lake jumped onto the shore, pounded the scarlet ground, but did not give chase.

Lin Yi was able to get a clear look at the appearance of the beast. It turned out to be a Fire Turtle. The beast’s massive body looked as red as lava. On top of its shell, patterns similar to those of flowing magma were constantly moving.

Most noticeable were its eyes, teeming with a savage aura. It spewed flames in all directions, and its large mouth big enough to swallow a human whole.

He couldn’t help but admire that such a thousand-year-old beast could survive for so long in the Red Lotus Fire State, sensing its aura alone determined that it must be at least at the Golden Core Realm.

The deeper into the Red Lotus Fire State, the greater the test of one’s mentality became. Fire Fierce was merely a Foundation Building Cultivator. The moment his mind became clouded and ventured deeper, the only way ahead was certain death.

The Fire Turtle, helpless in its rage on the shore, returned to the lava lake, restoring calm to the surroundings.

After a while, Lin Yi called back the Paper Man and placed it back into the Storage Bag. Currently, he had another matter to confirm.

From his Spirit Pet Bag, he released a small fire demon beast. As soon as it emerged, its eyes slowly filled with aggression, and it launched an attack on him.

Lin Yi gave a faint smile, gently restrained it by its head, pushed it back into the Spirit Pet Bag. Simultaneously, he circulated the water element from his Golden Core within its body. Only then, the aggression in its eyes slowly disappeared.

After putting this small demon beast back into the Spirit Pet Bag, concern crossed his eyes. The influence of the Red Lotus Fire State on the mind was not limited to cultivators, but probably extended to every living creature.

If Fire Feather was still alive, it would inevitably be affected as its cultivation level was comparable only to the Early Foundation Building Stage.

The Red Lotus Fire State covered a considerable area, about half of the size of the Dan God Secret Realm. Trying to find a Fire Bird in such a large secret realm was like finding a needle in the haystack.

This place seemed more like a natural secret territory, the entrance always open, allowing all to enter without restrictions.

However, once one entered deeper into the Fire State, the dangers met were enormous. Not only did one have to maintain a clear mind, they had to guard against attacks from monster beasts and some fire-related plants.

According to Pill Immortal Master’s recount, the longer one stayed here, the greater the influence on their mind would be.

Therefore, it was improbable to stay for a prolonged period in this Fire State, let alone scour the entire Fire State to find Fire Feather.

Fortunately, there was another method that might help locate Fire Feather, the Eye of Emptiness.

The Eye of Emptiness, combined with the title of Compassionate Karma, could observe one’s own karma, including the karma of others.

Lin Yi thought that the karma between him and Fire Feather should not be too weak, for he once promised to find a way to bring Fire Feather back.

This event itself was equivalent to karma.

If Fire Feather died with Fire Fierce, then this karma would cease to exist.

The reason he had come this far was that the distant karma connections could not be displayed.

Just like when he used the Eye of Emptiness at Golden Sword Peak, he could only see the karma of the Golden Sword lineage, but not the entire sect.

Lin Yi put on the Color is Void and Compassionate Karma titles and activated the Eye of Emptiness, thinking of the promise he made to Fire Feather.

As he used the Eye of Emptiness, only two karmic lines appeared before him, indicating that he had not stirred up much karma in this Red Lotus Fire State.

However, one of the karma lines was blue and probably represented Fire Feather’s affection towards him, which made him feel a bit relieved.

Now that he was sure Fire Feather was still alive, the next step was to find it and then bring it out of this Red Lotus Fire State.

What puzzled Lin Yi was the other karmic line, which was red and looked like a flame.

Looking at the extending direction of the line, it pointed towards the depths of the Red Lotus Fire State. After a thought, he guessed that the Red Lotus Fire considered everything that entered this realm as food, hence the existence of this karma line.

This Red Lotus Fire was indeed overbearing. It viewed everything as its food. No wonder, until now, no one was able to subdue it.

At the same time, Lin Yi was more certain about one thing. Using the Paper Man seemed not to have incurred karma. Even if he had provoked the Fire Turtle, there were no karmic lines present.

He glanced at the direction of the blue karma line, which also pointed towards the deep end of the Fire State. It seemed that the mind of Fire Feather too was inevitably influenced.

Lin Yi merely took a glance and then withdrew from the Eye of Emptiness. Investigating karma demanded a considerable amount of spiritual power.

If he were somewhere else, and his spiritual powers were exhausted, he could recover with just some rest. But, in this Red Lotus Secret Territory, he had to remain alert and maintain adequacy in spiritual power.

If his spiritual power was depleted and he didn’t have the time to replenish it, he might fall into the influence of the Red Lotus Fire.
