791 Certain Death (2)

The torrent of energy also swept through all the surrounding energy.

This also included the spiritual qi in this seven-story pagoda and the surrounding Sun Golden Flame.

They were all transformed into pure energy that surged into the flesh cocoon that Jiang Li had transformed into.

…

As time passed, the aura emitted by the flesh cocoon became more and more shocking.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Outside the seven-story pagoda, cracks appeared on the stone table that held the pagoda. It could completely shatter at any time.

Just the aura that seeped out of the pagoda actually caused cracks to appear on the stone table made of deep-sea black jade.

Could it be that the person who was put into the pagoda was a True Immortal?

“Chieftain, it’s been a hundred days. The spiritual qi whirlwind still hasn’t dissipated… Brothers… we can’t hold on anymore!”

Outside the pagoda, a huge rat crawled over with difficulty and approached another huge rat with white fur, a long beard, and long eyebrows. It was even holding a walking stick.

“Chieftain! The wind blew for a hundred days. The cave abode was blown down by the wind, and our brothers were blown down!”

“I’m the only one left among the 16 brothers! Chieftain, what can I do!”

The rat chief of the long-term media hid behind a large rock. He looked at the messy Pitfall Mountain and the dried rat corpses lying everywhere on the mountain with a sorrowful expression.

In the beginning, when the spiritual qi whirlwind blew, he was quite excited. He thought that an auspicious sign would descend and take a share of the spiritual qi to turn this cave abode into a paradise.

However, who would have thought that the momentum of this spiritual qi whirlwind was too ferocious and intense?

This spiritual qi ignored their guidance and only entered the pagoda.

Not only did they not obtain any benefits from it, but they were also even blown away by this spiritual qi whirlwind that was comparable to a spell.

It was fine if it lasted for a while, but as time passed, the rats in the cave abode began to die under the whirlwind.

Not many demons would believe that they would be blown to death by overly dense spiritual qi.

They could only retreat far away and hide in a corner of the Pitfall Mountain, curled up and trembling. They watched as their cave abode continuously collapsed under the blowing of the spiritual qi whirlwind.

Now that a hundred days had passed, less than one in a hundred of the rat demons entrenched in the Bottomless Pitfall Mountain had died.

The Chieftain was very conflicted.

Their Sea Weasel Race had guarded the Pitfall Mountain in the past. How could they leave just like that?

However, if he continued to endure it, even his old bones would be blown apart.

At this moment, the pagoda finally had a different reaction.

“Chief, look. There’s a fire under the pagoda!”

As expected, at the core of the spiritual qi whirlwind, a flame had unknowingly ignited under the seven-story pagoda.

“What terrifying flames!”

Although the Rat Chief did not recognize the strange flames rising from under the pagoda, he could instinctively sense the terrifying threat it brought.

“Impossible!”

“The Exquisite Pagoda! The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda has actually been burned!”

What happened next made the rats widen their eyes in disbelief.

This fire had no root and was a lead-gray color after the oxidation of white metal, giving people a very uneasy feeling.

That was definitely not a mortal flame. Its power was far from what ordinary Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire could compare to.

In just a moment, it actually burned until the base of the seven-story pagoda collapsed, and the golden liquid on the pagoda was like tears.

“Oh no! The pagoda is about to be destroyed!”

“Quick! Quickly invite the patriarch!”

The Rat Chief finally panicked and hurriedly rushed into a passageway not far away.

In the passageway, there were crooked wooden stakes everywhere.

Clearly, this passageway had almost collapsed earlier.

It was only barely maintained by the desperate efforts of these rats.

After stumbling into the depths of the cave, the Rat Chief immediately kowtowed to a black pool in the cave.

“I was incompetent! I did not protect the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda well!”

“Ancestor, please punish me!”

The white-furred Rat Chief kept kowtowing.

It caused circles of ripples in the calm pool.

The ripples spread to the center of the pool. There was a black lotus flower that was about to bloom.

As if touched by the voices of the outside world, the interior of the black lotus flower stirred. Then, the petals slowly opened, finally revealing a sleeping baby curled up in the center of the lotus flower.

The baby sat up on the lotus flower, opened his hands, and stretched.

His limbs and head were plump and moist. He was only wearing a red dudou1 and a longevity lock around his neck.

He was fair and cute.

If not for the fact that his umbilical cord had not been cut and was connected to the lotus flower below from his abdomen, if not for the fact that each of his shoulders had a head that drooped weakly, if not for his pitch-black eyes that contained endless hatred and resentment, he would definitely be a likable child.

“Rat, why are you looking for me?”

The child on the black lotus flower’s young voice was bone-chilling.

The rat chief explained what had happened outside again.

The boy was more or less interested.

“Immortal qi was actually born 500 years in advance.”

“Is the pagoda about to be burned? This world is really more interesting than I imagined.”

When the Lotus Flower Child heard that the pagoda was about to be burned, not only did he not feel nervous, he even seemed very interested. His expression was even filled with anticipation.

He casually grabbed his umbilical cord and chewed it twice before biting it off.

The young boy dragged the half of the umbilical cord that was still bleeding and flew out of the cave.

After he flew away, the Rat Chief, who was lying on the ground, dared to stand up.

After taking one last look at the black pool, the Lotus Flower Child ran out.

If one followed the black lotus down into the black pool, one would discover that there was a black stone monument lying at the bottom of the pool.

Beside the stone monument, the roots of the black lotus flower were tightly wrapped around a few golden bodies, slowly cracking their bones and absorbing the essence inside.

…

The Lotus Flower Child flew outside. The spiritual qi whirlwind that filled the cave abode more or less surprised him.

The lead-gray flames burning under the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda felt even more familiar.

Reaching out, he pulled up the other two listless heads and forced them to open their eyes.

“My two good brothers, do you still remember the origins of the lead fire?”

Although he called them brothers, his actions were not light at all.

He grabbed a head with each hand and smashed them together.

It collided seven or eight times before the two heads barely opened their eyes.

“Yin Fire~ That’s the Yin Fire of the three calamities of Immortal Ascension~”

“Yin Fire is a calamity that descends from the sky. When the time comes, it will burn the body. Your internal organs will turn to ash and your limbs will rot. You can turn a thousand years of bitter cultivation into an illusion~”

With the explanation of the two heads on the left and right, the Lotus Flower Child recovered some ancient memories.

“So it’s the Yin Fire.”

“No wonder that man’s Exquisite Pagoda was burned to such an extent.”

“Someone is breaking through in the pagoda from time to time. The Yin Fire that surge is blocked by the pagoda.”

“In this era, there’s actually someone who can summon the Yin Fire. That must be an interesting guy.”

The Lotus Flower Child was once a Golden Immortal, so he had naturally seen three calamities and nine tribulations.

He did not expect that with the birth of the immortal qi, the three calamities of Immortal Ascension would also return.

However, only extremely talented people could trigger the three calamities.

“Unfortunately, I won’t have the chance to see him after this.”

“The three calamities of becoming an immortal can only be avoided and not endured.”

“The person inside doesn’t know the Dao of Transformation and doesn’t know how to avoid calamity. In the end, his internal organs will turn to ash and his limbs will rot.”

“Even if he’s lucky enough to survive, his cultivation will be completely burned away by the Yin Fire. It’s no different from death. What a pity.”

The Lotus Flower Child raised his hand and pointed. He took out the white carp transformed from immortal qi from the top of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Then, he turned around and wanted to continue sleeping.

In his opinion, the person in the pagoda would definitely die.
