Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal
Page 372
After taking the fasting pill, she skillfully waved her hand forward.
The flames of resentment spread, forming a square barrier, from which an image gradually emerged.
Two months have passed since she last observed the outside world and discovered that someone was attempting to advance to the False Core stage.
There were no promotions or sudden changes in celestial phenomena during this period.
It is likely that those Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators have a clear understanding of the difficulty of advancing to the False Core stage, or have realized that there may be flaws that need to be addressed.
Perhaps some have already guessed that this fake alchemy method was deliberately released to test their lives and find its flaws.
Even so, they had no choice but to use this method.
The celestial phenomenon of advancement has already indicated that the fake alchemy method is genuine, and this alone is enough to make cultivators eager to take the lead.
However, we should study it thoroughly first...
Xi Heng reviewed recent news and obtained the above information.
She was unmoved by these reactions, only thinking that her time in Hellfire was running out.
Without Xi Heng's intervention, the outbreak of the Pure Fire and the burning of the city would have been delayed by about a year and a half.
The later it erupts, the greater the impact of the disaster.
In her previous life, she helped Yin Wanluan complete the arrangements and enter the Pure Fire ahead of time. Afterwards, only one Pure Fire capital was burned down, and the disaster did not spread to other places.
Without her to wage war in the outside world, the hatred and resentment of the Pure Fire cannot find a moment's respite.
Moreover, the Purifying Fire has had an extra year and a half to accumulate power, so its power will inevitably be even greater when it erupts.
After the apocalypse arrives, cultivators will likely continue to risk using the method of creating fake pills.
Xi Heng murmured to himself:
"After all, even if advancing to the Golden Core realm still might not save the Fire Hell, at least it guarantees that I can leave this place that clearly can't hold on much longer, and travel to the outer void to try and find other cultivation worlds..."
She did some quick calculations and estimated that it was only about six months before the Pure Fire erupted.
As long as the fundamental grievances do not change due to the butterfly effect, this timeframe will remain unchanged.
"Those precious Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators should not die directly from the eruption of the Pure Fire."
She planned to give her experimental materials a heads-up.
He then got up and left the cave, and casually found a rock on the side of the small hill and polished it smooth.
He took out a simple longsword, used it as a pen and his breath as ink, and carved a short sentence on the surface of the mountain stone.
……
Tomorrow, the previously repaired cracks in the ground in Ishiyabo City will be smashed again.
A piece of blue stone fell in the early morning, and soon attracted a crowd of cultivators to watch.
The last time, the method of obtaining the elixir was carved on the blue stone. It can be considered one of the greatest opportunities in the Fire Hell. Even though most people never need it, they know how precious it is.
This might be a great opportunity for the world, and they hope it's a wonderful method that ordinary cultivators can also utilize.
However, when they actually saw it, they were completely bewildered.
The inscription on the bluestone was no longer a complex method of cultivation, but a simple sentence:
"The Pure Fire will go out of control in six months, so we should leave the capital in advance."
The language is simple and straightforward, clearly not concealing any profound meaning.
Everyone can see it, but no one really understands it.
The Mingming Pure Fire has existed stably for a thousand years. Although it has weakened slightly recently, it should not have major problems so quickly.
The statement on the stele does not conform to the pattern of the formation's decline.
The cultivators initially didn't believe it, but since it was a message from a mysterious person spreading fake alchemy techniques, they still paid attention to it.
Those with extensive social connections contacted their friends in Jinghuo Bendu and passed on this inscription.
The ordinary cultivators each noted down this matter and slowly withdrew.
A moment later, the people from the Pure Fire Sect removed the stone tablet and took it away, then filled in the crack in the ground in front of them, making everything seem as if nothing had happened, peaceful and orderly.
But half a morning was enough for the news to spread throughout Hellfire.
As a result, the long-dormant market for residences and courtyards in Tianxi City and Shigufang Market resumed operation, with hundreds of residences being sold quickly and prices rising.
However, all of this has nothing to do with Xi Heng anymore.
She tossed the stone tablet aside, clapped her hands, and left the market, concealing her presence as she returned to her cave.
This was just a small reminder; she didn't care whether outsiders listened or not.
"Go and cultivate."
Xi Heng turned and went back to the cultivation room to continue working on his main goal in this life.
During breaks, he would occasionally peek outside.
Just as she expected, the Pure Fire Sect immediately denied what the inscription said, claiming that Pure Fire was still stable and that the formation had never gone out of control in the past thousand years.
Whether people believe it or not, the Fire Cult has not made any further response since the statement was issued.
The incident and rumors gradually subsided, but inevitably, more and more practitioners have moved away from the Pure Fire Capital.
For some reason, Wanbaoge placed more faith in the words of the stone tablet and hired many earth magic cultivators to move their hundred-story pavilions one by one from the west side of Jinghuo Capital to the side of Tianxi City within a hundred days.
Ordinary cultivators initially believed what the Pure Fire Sect claimed, but seeing that the Myriad Treasures Pavilion had made such a big move, they couldn't help but become suspicious again.
This is a matter of life and death; if there is even the slightest doubt, action should be taken.
Although there are currently no residences available for purchase in Fangshi and Tianxi City, it is still possible to find or borrow a place outside to seclude oneself for a period of time.
During this time, a few cultivators even managed to find the location of Xiheng Cave, but they were not discovered because of the powerful illusion magic covering it up.
When she came to her senses from her long meditation, she noticed the cultivator approaching.
So he concealed his presence and disappeared into the distance, secretly sending clusters of pure fire to everyone's mind.
He then gave them a subtle hint, telling them to keep their distance.
Giving up, Xi Heng glanced casually at the outside news, picked up the last lychee-flavored fasting pill, put it to his lips, and continued cultivating.
……
Half a year has passed in a flash, and another winter is approaching spring.
As the time for the Qinghuo to spiral out of control, as predicted by the stone tablet, draws ever closer, the Qinghuo city is now sparsely populated, almost devoid of lights at night, and empty and desolate like a dead city during the day.
A gentle breeze swept through the wildly growing street trees, causing the sharp, snow-covered pine needles to tremble and small snowflakes to fall.
Only a small number of Pure Fire practitioners remained, and they were all preparing to leave.
Although they initially opposed what the stone tablet said, the vice-leader appeared a few days earlier and, after the grand ceremony, sighed, causing everyone to leave.
The fire was probably indeed close to getting out of control... people knew it.
Today, the practitioners of the Purification Fire Sect, dressed in white robes, spontaneously formed a line and used storage bags or carts to carry their frequently used items.
After the large group had passed through the empty road and had not gone far from the city gate, they were finally able to leave.
Then a faint whistling and burning sound came from behind.
Looking back, one could see a white flame rising high into the sky, like a pillar of light reaching the clouds.
The sound gradually grew louder, prompting people to use their spiritual senses to look down.
Beneath the white flame pillar, a massive amount of reddish-yellow mixed fire was emerging, spreading and expanding rapidly.
There were no flammable materials within hundreds of meters of the altar where the Pure Fire was located, yet the reddish-yellow fire irrationally swept across the white stone floor and steps, surging towards the outer cultivators' residences and the main hall of the Pure Fire Cult.
The raging fire swept over the houses like a raging flood, burning faster and faster, and in just a dozen seconds it covered the entire inner city of Jinghuoben.
“It’s really out of control…” one cultivator murmured.
As the crimson flames spread, the central fire became increasingly conspicuous, and suddenly a loud boom erupted.
Immediately afterwards, the tall pillar of fire at the very center erupted like a volcano, spewing out endless fireballs that scattered in all directions from the heights.
One of the flames flew too high and was thrown towards the direction of the cultivators who were retreating outside the city.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator behind them reacted quickly, forcefully clenching his Dao Finger and pushing it forward, unleashing a smaller fireball that collided with the incoming flames.
Upon contact, his fireball was instantly engulfed and failed to explode, while the raging flames from the air did not slow down in the slightest.
The fireball fell towards the side and rear of the group.
The moment it touched the ground, it exploded with a violent roar like a thunderclap.
The powerful impact sent dust flying, trees snapped, and cracks appeared in the spiritual light shields that had appeared on the bodies of several people. Some weaker cultivators were even thrown more than ten meters away.
"It's not safe outside the city either, let's go!" a voice shouted.
People quickened their pace, but before they had gone far, they heard a hoarse, demonic roar from behind.
Looking back, one could see a withered corpse, its body cracked and glowing with fire, rising from the crater created by the fireball.
Deep red flames emanated from its eye sockets, and although its facial features and skin were withered, its face was still filled with resentment.
It landed with a loud roar and then charged forward.
Several spells blocked it, but fire magic had little effect on this thing; only water magic could repel it.
More and more fireballs rained down from above. Each fireball that landed not only caused a shockwave, but also caused a series of zombie-like monsters covered in flames to rise up and charge at the living.
Seeing that the fire magic was not effective, the cultivators hesitated for a moment before throwing down heavy objects and using various spells to fly high into the air, quickly moving away with the sole purpose of protecting themselves.
The meteorite crashed down from behind, chasing after the scattered crowd that had been blown away.
As the cultivators dodged, numerous bursts of crimson fire exploded in the air, catching dozens of cultivators with lower cultivation levels off guard and causing them to fall with serious injuries.
Several people went to help, but the fire rain was getting denser, and flames were also spreading rapidly from the ground in the distance.
Fewer and fewer people came to the rescue. As the raging flames rapidly spread to the ground outside the city, the cultivators could only worry about running for their lives.
A single firestorm claimed the lives of nearly a hundred of the Fire Prison cultivators, who numbered only seven or eight thousand in total.
This was just the beginning. When the Pure Fire Cult cultivators arrived at the nearby Tianxi City, thinking they were temporarily safe... not long after, thousands of corpse monsters with fiery cracks all over their bodies rushed over and charged toward the city wall.
Fortunately, Tianxi City received the news early and made preparations to withstand the first wave of attack.
Without city walls and a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator present, Shigu Market was unable to organize an effective defense even after receiving the news.
Hundreds of vengeful, fiery zombies stormed into the market, and it took cultivators half an hour to barely kill them all, during which dozens more died.
……
That night, Xi Heng sensed strong fluctuations in spiritual energy outside and paused his cultivation to investigate.
She was indifferent to the dead and injured; she merely reflected on what she saw.
"So it turns out that monsters aren't all just the remains of cultivators; some were even thrown directly from the Pure Fire..."
"This rigor mortis is clearly much stronger than the one in the previous life. It seems that as long as the resentment is not quelled, it will turn into the power of resentful fire."
A few days later, just as the cultivators were recovering from the shock of the uncontrolled Pure Fire disaster, they heard news that the Corpse Demon calamity was about to strike again.
A large number of zombies were gathering outside the Pure Fire Capital, forming a chaotic array, and heading once again toward Tianxi City, where the most cultivators were gathered.
People gradually realized that the fire disaster was not just a one-off event, but seemed destined to continue for a long time.
On that day, Tianxi City found support from all over the world and defeated this wave of zombies, but seven days later another wave regrouped.
During this time, rumors spread that the Fire Hell was about to be destroyed, and many Foundation Establishment cultivators demanded that the Fire Purification Sect open the Spirit Locking Array and leave the area.
After surveying the chaotic scene, Xi Heng yawned and went back to cultivating.
A month later, the Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator from the Jade Yuan Sect within the Seven Sect Alliance believed he had filled in and perfected the flaws of the False Pill Technique. At this crucial moment, he announced in Tianxi City that he was about to advance, claiming that after the advancement, he would definitely exterminate the zombie ghosts and restore the Pure Fire.
Ordinary cultivators naturally hoped that a Golden Core cultivator could step forward to take charge of the overall situation, and the higher-ups tacitly agreed, even creating the best possible conditions for this.
With the leader of the Pure Fire Sect and the leader of the Seven Sects Alliance protecting him, the celestial phenomena changed during his ascension, and a large amount of spiritual energy surged like a tide, attracting many spiritual objects and magical treasures. Thousands of cultivators turned to watch with anticipation.
In the first hour of the promotion process, everything proceeded smoothly.
But not long after, this person suddenly started bleeding from all seven orifices, his face turned red, bruises appeared on his skin, and his spiritual energy became disordered.
The Jade Yuan Sect cultivator forcibly suppressed the chaotic state for a long time, but in the end, he lost his mind. His meridians were broken and his dantian was shattered. He failed to advance and collapsed to the ground.
The essence and blood flowing from the seven orifices dripped down from the jar, forming small pools of blood.
