Chapter 185: Law Power
“Is that the Soul River?”
Hua Changxi knew very little about the Nine Netherworlds, but the divine plants recorded in the third volume of the Hundred Herbs Annotation were medicinal herbs specifically for Primordial Spirit Cultivation.
Divine plants can also be called Soul Plants.
There is a Soul Plant called the Primordial Soul Fruit, which is a top-tier Genius Earthly Treasure like the Creation Fruit. The Creation Pill refined from the Creation Fruit can shape Spiritual Roots; the God Sculpting Pill refined from the Primordial Soul Fruit can reshape the Primordial Spirit as long as a wisp of it remains.
For cultivators, as long as the Primordial Spirit does not completely dissipate, even if the physical body is destroyed, it is not considered true death. In other words, the Primordial Soul Fruit, which can reshape the Primordial Spirit, possesses the power of resurrection.
The Primordial Soul Fruit grows in the Soul River!
Although the Hundred Herbs Annotation did not provide detailed information about the Soul River, feeling the pure and dense Soul Power contained within the white flowing water and seeing the Soul Crystals scattered all over the riverbed, Hua Changxi had reason to suspect that the white long river was the Soul River.
Looking at the Fusang Divine Wood and the white Soul River outside the rift, Hua Changxi felt a surge of eagerness, wanting to venture in again to explore. The last time she entered the Divine Wood Space, it was too hasty. Besides obtaining a branch of the Divine Wood, she gained nothing else.
Encountering the Fusang Divine Wood and the Soul River is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any cultivator.
However, the Divine Wood Space is vast. She was like a headless fly within it, and with one wrong step, she could easily get lost and be unable to find her way back.
Previously, she relied on the totem left in Tang Valley after the Vermilion Bird Spiritual Shadow dissipated to sense the Space Rift leading back to Tang Valley.
Now, wanting to go in again…
Hua Changxi turned to look at the Shen Nong Cauldron, her eyes brightening. The Shen Nong Cauldron could completely serve as her coordinate point to find her way back.
The Shen Nong Cauldron was still absorbing Soul Crystals. The Soul Power contained in Soul Crystals was certainly not as pure and dense as that in the Soul River. Hua Changxi quickly summoned the Shen Nong Cauldron to her side, directly pointing its opening towards the cascading Soul River water.
After starting to absorb the Soul River water, the Shen Nong Cauldron stopped absorbing the Soul Crystals at the riverbed.
Hua Changxi carefully felt the connection between herself and the Shen Nong Cauldron. Since the Shen Nong Cauldron was a Divine Artifact and bound to her Divine Soul, their connection was much closer than her connection with the Floating Light Sword.
Ensuring she could find her way back, Hua Changxi no longer hesitated. She picked up the Floating Light Sword and continued to pry open the Space Rift.
At this moment, her Spiritual Power had fully recovered, and she could completely withstand the tearing force around the Space Rift. When the Space Rift was large enough for a person to pass through, she rushed out against the cascading Soul River water.
As soon as she entered the Divine Wood Space, she was enveloped by pure Fire Spiritual Energy.
At the bottom of the hot spring bath, she felt as if she had returned to the womb. Entering the Divine Wood Space, she felt like she had entered a sauna. Filth was constantly being expelled from her body’s surface, and at the same time, the Fire Spiritual Energy in her Dantian Qi Sea was continuously being refined.
Sensing that the Fire Spiritual Energy in her Qi Sea had become more viscous and solidified than before, Hua Changxi was shocked. It turned out that the Fire Spiritual Energy in her Qi Sea had transformed from a gaseous state to a liquid state, and this was also influenced by the Fusang Divine Wood.
Hua Changxi had pried open the Space Rift from the location of the Fusang Divine Wood Root. Now that she had entered the Divine Wood Space, her current location was naturally at the Fusang Divine Wood Root.
At this moment, Hua Changxi was as tiny as an ant facing the Fusang Divine Wood.
The first time she rushed into the Divine Wood Space, Hua Changxi was severely injured by the invisible spatial rifts around the Fusang Divine Wood. This time, she dared not move rashly, and of course, she couldn’t move much anyway.
It was nothing more than being suppressed by the divine might of the Divine Wood. She could only move within a small range.
Feeling the heavy pressure on her, Hua Changxi felt both fear and relief.
She feared that the first time she broke into the Divine Wood Space, the Divine Wood Branch was near her. If the Divine Wood Branch had been far away, with the suppression of the Divine Wood, she wouldn’t even have been able to get close to it.
She was fortunate that her luck was good.
Thinking of her luck, Hua Changxi’s eyes flickered. If luck was truly linked to Merit, she would have to do more things that aligned with the Spiritual Energy Revival in the future.
However, she didn’t want to gamble with her life again.
Suppressed by the Divine Wood, Hua Changxi couldn’t probe upwards. She could only look regretfully at the Soul River. She still wanted to explore the Soul River, in case she happened to encounter the Primordial Soul Fruit.
Her exploration area was limited, so Hua Changxi could only wander around the Fusang Divine Wood Root.
“Where is this Fusang Divine Wood rooted?”
The endless Divine Wood Roots, like intertwined long snakes, extended outwards infinitely.
Hua Changxi couldn’t probe the rooting location of the Divine Wood Roots, and her activity area was not large. After exploring, she realized that the only thing she could do upon entering the Divine Wood Space was to cultivate here.
The Fire Spiritual Energy in the Divine Wood Space was much purer and denser than in the outside world. Since she had already come in, even without other gains, improving her Strength was good.
Thinking this, Hua Changxi sat cross-legged on the Fusang Divine Wood Root, closed her eyes, and sank into cultivation. Soon, she clearly felt her Cultivation Speed increase again, at least doubling.
Previously, she could gain over two million Spiritual Energy Points in an hour of cultivation. Now, she could gain four million Spiritual Energy Points in an hour of cultivation.
What was going on?
Hua Changxi was unaware of the Fusang Divine Wood appearing in the Nine Netherworlds and the Human World. She was somewhat confused by the surge in her Cultivation Speed, only thinking it was due to her improved physique from soaking in the hot spring bath.
No one would complain about their Cultivation Speed increasing. After the initial surprise and confusion, Hua Changxi quickly accepted it and focused on her cultivation.
Just as she was cultivating at full speed, the Divine Wood Root beneath her suddenly lit up with a red glow.
As the red glow intensified, ripples like water waves appeared within it.
The ripples became more apparent. Upon closer inspection, they could be seen as chains of light formed by Runes.
These Rune light chains hovered around Hua Changxi. Some light chains wanted to approach, while others moved away.
As soon as the light chains appeared, Hua Changxi, who was cultivating, sensed the anomaly. Through her Spiritual Sense, she clearly saw the light chains formed by Runes.
Sensing the unfathomable power emanating from the light chains, she instinctively wanted to absorb them into her body.
At first, no matter how hard she tried, no light chain came close, until she condensed a Fire Lotus.
When the Fire Lotus bloomed on her body, a bright red light chain quickly entered Hua Changxi’s body, directly burrowing into her Qi Sea and merging with it as red light.
“Boom~”
As the red light chain entered her Qi Sea, Hua Changxi opened her eyes. She quickly condensed a Fire Lotus in her hand. Thinking of the red light chain, the Fire Lotus immediately transformed into an extremely bright Red Lotus. Simultaneously, numerous red light chains rapidly condensed within the Red Lotus.
Only then did she see clearly that the red light chains were composed of individual ‘Karma’ character Runes.
“Karma?”
“Karmic Power?”
Hua Changxi’s eyes suddenly lit up. Karmic Power, Red Lotus, wasn’t this the Red Lotus Karmic Fire?
The Red Lotus Karmic Fire burns all who carry evil Karmic Power. Once tainted, their souls are annihilated, their resurrection is cut off, and they do not enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Hua Changxi was extremely excited. The appearance of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire elevated the power of the Fire Lotus to a higher level, meaning her self-preservation ability had increased again.
Seeing that she could absorb the light chains by summoning the Fire Lotus, Hua Changxi repeated the process. She summoned the Great Sun Divine Flame and, enduring the burning pain, let the Great Sun Divine Flame cover her entire body.
As soon as the Great Sun Divine Flame appeared, a white chain also entered her body, transforming into white light and merging with her Qi Sea.
“Rift?”
When Hua Changxi condensed the Great Sun Divine Flame in her palm, a light chain composed of the character ‘Rift’ Runes circled the Great Sun Divine Flame.
