I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 212 Ancestor Tianxin (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Everyone heard her voice but couldn't see her. Her attack was so swift that no one present, including Jiang Yi, had noticed it beforehand.

The toad corpse shrank and shed its skin at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a brand new dark golden toad body broke free from the old skin!

"Shedding armor and being reborn..." Lin Xiyue's voice trembled.

The golden toad shed its skin and revived, its aura even more violent than before!

Its long tongue shot out like lightning, snatched Zhu Mingqian's corpse and swallowed it whole. Its amber vertical pupils locked onto the remaining four people, and the ashes from the furnace on its back shot into the sky, illuminating the entire underground space in a ghastly white light.

"It's over..."

Wu Kun's face was ashen. With Sha Tuo Xie dead, he had no one left to rely on.

At that moment, the woman's voice rang out again.

"For many years, all that has come is trash and garbage. Those little flames are not even enough to fill my teeth. This time, at least there is one who can pass. Keep the girl with the fire wheel. The rest of you, I will allow you to leave."

Ji Honglian and Lin Xiyue's expressions changed drastically, and Lin Xiyue immediately stepped forward to protect Ji Honglian behind her.

Wu Kun slowly backed away, referring to the girl, definitely not him.

Seeing that no one else intended to stop him, Wu Kun gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry!"

After saying that, Wu Kun staggered toward the collapsed passage, frantically hacking at the rubble blocking the way with his sand-cracking mace, trying to create a path to survival, his eyes filled with the desire to live.

Just as he was about to touch the faint light outside the crack, the dead gray moths on the ground suddenly trembled and instantly turned into a gray-white sea of ​​fire that rushed towards him.

"Ahhh-"

Wu Kun screamed in agony as he was burned to ashes.

"The so-called fire of purification... if it burns everything clean, isn't that also purification?" The woman's voice still carried a mad laugh.

Jiang Yi and the other two did not turn around; they had known it would end like this.

A sudden gust of cold wind swept in from the direction of the golden toad, carrying with it fine ash.

As the wind blew, Jiang Yi's illusion technique failed, and his cultivation level suddenly returned to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Lin Xiyue's disguise talisman peeled off, revealing her original cool and jade-like face.

The coarse cloth binding Ji Honglian's hair burned completely, and her fiery red hair cascaded down.

"Red hair..." The refining furnace on the golden toad's back trembled violently, and the female voice suddenly turned shrill, "Red hair!! You're still red hair!!!"

The ash flames in the furnace surged and condensed into a female phantom in mid-air. Her long hair was like flames, her face was shattered, her left eye was a dancing gray-white flame, but her right eye was a black hole. She stretched out a finger made of gray-white flames and pointed it at Ji Honglian.

"Finally... I've found a fine seed like you!" The illusory figure laughed maniacally. "Back then, I also had this red hair, as dazzling as the earth's core fire... Little girl, offer me your body!!"

"You're dreaming!"

Ji Honglian felt a wave of nausea. She suddenly flung her hand, and the Heavenly Fire Wheel roared out, its blazing flames tearing through the gray-white sea of ​​flames, slashing straight at the face of the phantom!

The phantom merely smiled contemptuously, and the gray-white flames suddenly condensed into a giant hand, grabbing at the air.

Snapped!
The Heaven-Burning Fiery Wheel was actually held firmly in mid-air!
"Is that all you've got?" the phantom mocked, as grayish-white flames crawled up the fire wheel like living things, emitting a hissing, corrosive sound.

Ji Honglian's pupils shrank suddenly, and a mournful cry of the Heavenly Fire Wheel suddenly came from her sea of ​​consciousness. Her chest felt as if she had been hit hard, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"Red Lotus!" Lin Xiyue used the Falan Water Swallow to send a large number of ice spikes shooting out.

The phantom didn't even glance at her. With a casual flick of its gray-white flame hand, the ice spikes vanished into thin air. The phantom held the Burning Heaven Fire Wheel, lightly flicking its fingertips against the wheel, producing a crisp clang.

"The material is acceptable, but the fire spirit is pitifully weak."

The phantom chuckled and casually tossed the Burning Heaven Fire Wheel back to Ji Honglian's feet like scrap metal. The wheel's spiritual light dimmed, and its gilded serrations were corroded and pitted.

Ji Honglian staggered as she caught the fiery wheel, gritted her teeth, and looked up, her eyes burning with even greater rage.

"Don't rush, little girl... After I extract your soul, I will properly reforge this fire wheel for you. In the art of weapon forging, if I claim to be second, no one dares to claim to be first!"

The phantom flicked its hand, and three golden needles connected by red threads shot towards Ji Honglian.

At the critical moment, Jiang Yi suddenly flashed in front of Ji Honglian and slapped a talisman on Ji Honglian's face.

When the golden needle and red thread touched the talisman, the talisman's light suddenly burst forth, and the power to suppress evil clung to the golden needle and red thread like a maggot clinging to a bone.

"Be bold!"

Suddenly, the furnace erupted with the wails of countless wronged souls, and countless distorted human faces emerged from the gray-white sea of ​​flames.

In that instant, Jiang Yi temporarily withdrew Zhenshan and Duanjin, allowing them to recover quickly in Youxian Ferry, and also sent down a small spring rain for the three of them.

"Stay calm, she's bluffing!" The gray-white sea of ​​flames suddenly surged, and countless gray moths burst forth from the refining furnace, instantly trapping the three of them in a small area.

"Master Tianxin, I never expected you to still be alive."

Jiang Yi shouted loudly, and Lin Xiyue and Ji Honglian both looked blank, not knowing who the Heavenly Heart Ancestor Jiang Yi was talking about was.

At this point, the benefits of Jiang Yi's love for reading all sorts of books became apparent.

Duan Tianxin, the founder of the Earth Flame Sect, has red hair, possesses the Purifying Flame, and is a natural-born weapon-refining master. He is one of the first outstanding figures to emerge from the human race after the end of the ancient era.

The Earth Flame Sect disappeared without a trace, and people suspected that the Heavenly Heart Ancestor had forged some evil artifact that was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, which led to the Earth Flame Sect being swallowed up by the Sand Sea.

Although there were only a few words in the book, it didn't stop Jiang Yi from trying to trick her first.

That's the basic operation.

Sure enough, the restless gray moths around them paused slightly, and the phantom on the back of the golden toad sat on the edge of the refining furnace, chuckling.

“Grandmaster Tianxin, it has been many years since anyone recognized me.”

Hearing the illusory figure's reply, Jiang Yi was shocked. She hadn't expected it to really be her. She was from over a thousand years ago. Her exact cultivation level was unknown, but it certainly wouldn't be lower than the Nascent Soul stage.

However, she is now clearly a ghost body that has been rebuilt by her remnant soul after her death, temporarily attached to the Devouring Fire Toad, and her cultivation has not reached its peak.

Jiang Yi had just analyzed the cause and effect. First of all, judging from the large number of corpses here, there must have been many people who came here in the past thousand years and were killed by the Fire-Swallowing Golden Toad, allowing the Heavenly Heart Ancestor to use the souls of these people to rebuild the Ghost Path.

This path requires extremely deep conviction and the ability to endure the torment of being burned by karmic fire in order to succeed.

If one's obsession weakens even slightly, it will be burned away by the karmic fire that strikes every now and then, and completely dissipate into the world.

Those who can cultivate to the level of a demon are all madmen with twisted minds.

However, the Ghost Path was only meant to allow the remnant soul of the Heavenly Heart Ancestor to continue. Her true purpose was still to possess a suitable body, regain a physical form, and start cultivating again.

Only cultivators who have reached the Golden Core stage or above have the ability to possess others' bodies. Furthermore, those of lower status cannot possess those of higher status, and they only have one chance in their lifetime to succeed in possessing another's body. Anyone who dares to try a second time will be struck dead by heavenly lightning.

It now appears that the five bronze lotus lanterns in the lake were the checkpoints used by the Heavenly Heart Ancestor to select a body to possess. Lighting the bronze lotus lanterns allowed the Heavenly Heart Ancestor to absorb fire-type true essence to enhance his own strength, and also allowed him to directly understand the strength of the body.

The reason why Ancestor Tianxin needs fire-type true essence is clearly because the strange fire she controls is still associated with her soul.

As Zhu Mingqian just mentioned, the strange fire controlled by the sect leader of the Earth Flame Sect is the Candle Moth Pure Fire, which is white in color and can turn deserts into oases, possessing the power to purify the world.

But now, this strange fire has been eroded by the Heavenly Heart Ancestor's thousand-year obsession, turning into a corrupting force that is completely opposite to the power of purification.

For over a thousand years, the Heavenly Heart Ancestor has not been able to select a suitable body, which shows that she is an extremely picky person who would rather have none than a bad one.

This also shows that once she makes a choice, she will never let go.

Ji Honglian is really in danger this time!

However, they are not entirely without a chance of winning. If the Heavenly Heart Ancestor is truly strong enough to kill them all instantly and possess Ji Honglian, he would not have gone to such great lengths to have the Fire-Swallowing Golden Toad set a trap and then defeat them one by one.

This shows that the Heavenly Heart Ancestor was bluffing; she and the Fire-Swallowing Toad were not confident enough to defeat the three of them.

She needs to kill everyone and control Ji Honglian first in order to ensure that there are no mistakes during the possession process, since she only has this one chance.

"My patience has run out. Today, either the red-haired girl stays, or... they all become bait for this devilish moth!"

She is anxious!

We need to stall for time. At the very least, all three of them need to recover to their peak condition before they have any chance of breaking through.

If Hua Gu and Hong Li were there, her chances would be even greater.

“Master Tianxin,” Jiang Yi quickly asked, “do you know Xia Changying?”

Zhu Mingzong has developed to its current state by relying on the foundation of Di Yanzong, and the founding ancestor of Zhu Mingzong must be related to the death of Tianxin Laozu.

"who?!!"

The phantom suddenly twisted, and a shockwave exploded around it, with gray-white flames boiling like a raging sea.

The phantom revealed a ferocious face, uttering the name slowly and deliberately through gritted teeth.

"Xia, Chang, Ying! He's still alive? Where is he?!"

His voice was filled with hatred that had not faded for a thousand years.

"I will refine him, and I will refine all his descendants!!"

　These two are enemies, not lovers. Read on.
