tate, helping her enter the Foundation Establishment stage.After the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, Li Ri converged his aura. He rose to his feet, and with a flick of his hand, countless spark...Only then, back in the spatial realm, did Duo Duo feel truly alive. She quickly planted her roots in the Spirit Spring water and began to cultivate comfortably.

At this time, Ripples in the magma, far turned his spiritual power to levitate himself in mid-air, and then released his divine sense, searching everywhere. Sure enough, deep within the magma, he found a red lotus of karmic fire.

The crimson lotus, born from the flames of karma, takes root among countless white bones. Through the burning away of sins etched upon these bones, it sustains its own eternal flame.

The ripples' divine sense seemed to have startled the Crimson Lotus Inferno, causing the latter to abruptly change its direction and thrust the lotus core towards the ripples.

Lian Yi raised an eyebrow and immediately retracted her divine sense. Then, she took out a ruby hairpin defense artifact from her storage ring and inserted it into her hair bun. After activating the defense, she also added a protective shield around herself before slowly sinking to the bottom of the magma.

As the ripples descended, she could feel that the outer layer of her shield was slowly thinning. She had to stop and add two more layers of defense before continuing down.

After a whole half hour, ripples finally arrived before the crimson lotus inferno. The crimson lotus inferno had already gained sentience and was sizing up ripples before it. After a moment, a milky voice echoed into ripples' ears:

"You're such a strange person. Your soul is so powerful, yet your body is fragile like thin skin, incapable of containing it at all. I wonder what method you used to actually control this physical form."

The ripples immediately alerted, the crimson lotus fire was bred from hell. It burned those souls weighed down by sin, thus punishing them.

Although she is now a missioner, in the cultivation world, she is also a soul-stealer. It's just that sometimes the spacetime management bureau coordinates from the middle, so she is considered a licensed soul-stealer. Otherwise, with her such powerful soul, the current body really can't hold her.

"Hey, wait! There's still a faint soul"

The Crimson Lotus Hellfire suddenly expanded, Ripples immediately felt the danger and retreated in alarm. But the next instant, she was still enveloped by the Crimson Lotus Hellfire. As she felt the burning sensation, the golden light of her merit flared within her body, protecting her entire soul.

"Wow! Such a thick golden glow of merit."

The little voice was somewhat surprised. With the blessing of merit, golden light protecting her, she definitely couldn't burn anyone. But she was too curious, still circling around the ripples, trying to figure out the reason.

"The ripples felt bad for her own merit golden light. It wasn't easy for her to earn it, so she immediately said:

"

"Could you please leave me alone for a moment I need to tell you something."

Crimson Lotus Fire truly wanted to know the reason, so it spared Ripple and reformed into a crimson lotus suspended before her, waiting to hear her explanation.

“I made an agreement with the owner of this body. I will help her escape a disaster and avenge her enemies, and in return, she will lend me her body temporarily until I fulfill her wishes. Then, she will return to this body, and I will leave.”

"I see."

"Do you want to leave here"

Instead of dwelling on this issue any further, start tempting the Red Lotus業火. Let me know if you'd like anything else translated!

"You cultivators always want to make a contract with me, but I'm not falling for it!"

Even Honglian Yanhuo is quite tsundere.

"Cough, but without offerings, you will eventually fall into slumber. Unless you want to burn the entire secret realm to ashes."

Ripple speaks the truth, she is the ancestor of Ripple after all. She sees through Red Lotus's karma very clearly.

I believe Honglian Yehuo understands this herself, which is why she came to test me after appearing.

"I do not want to be erased of my consciousness."

This is the bottom line of the Crimson Lotus Inferno.

"That's simple, we can sign an equal contract. I'll provide for you, and you'll help me eliminate my enemies."

Ripple thought the problem wasn't big. Besides, a sentient crimson lotus fire was even more valuable.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable. Just remember, it was you who signed the contract with me. If one day you leave, I become free. Your current body would have nothing to do with me."

The Crimson Flame of Karma has brought the ugly words to the forefront.

After thinking for a moment, Lian Yi said:

"I understand. I'll do my best to send her to the spirit realm and then leave. As for whether you're willing to give her a spark of your own fire, that's entirely up to you."

Ripple never forces anyone to do anything they don't want to.

"Alright! Seeing as you've done so much good, I'll temporarily form a pact with you."

The Crimson Lotus's Burning also knows when to quit. If she didn't leave here, in fifty years she would fall into a deep sleep and miss the next opening of the secret realm. That's why she readily agreed.

Since both parties were willing, the Crimson Lotus業火 immediately split off a lotus flower and signed an equal contract with Ripples. Ripples then split off a wisp of her divine consciousness and merged it with Honglian, making her brow appear adorned with a blood-red lotus flower, causing her to look even more alluringly beautiful.

At the moment the contract was made, ripples disappeared once more into the magma.

In the blink of an eye, the ripples returned to their original place through the transmission scroll, and the transmission scroll seemed to have completed its mission, instantly turning into powder and disappearing in the formation.

The Purple Jade Tortoise's nose caught a whiff of scorching heat, and it immediately saw the pristine ripples. A gleam flashed in Hei Dou's eyes, and he blurted out:

"You got the Crimson Lotus Inferno!"

It is still an affirmative sentence.

"Well, this scroll transported me to a place of crimson flames."

With ripples passing over her brow, she smiled and said.

"Congratulations, Qiao Xianzi! You see, I was right! If you had given up before, you would have missed out on the fire of opportunity."

The purple tortoise is still a little proud.

You are right.

Although it's temporary, Ripple is happy to have received the Crimson Flame because she already got it.

How much longer until the secret realm closes

Ripples ask Ziyun the tortoise about its fortune.

"Three days! But I've been waiting here for you before, and I've met several groups of cultivators who kill each other. I don't know what they're trying to do."

> However, some of them don't smell right. They smell like the cultivator from that sect who escaped your hands before.

The Purple Tortoise has already learned of the existence of the evil cultivators.

Let's go take a look.

The ripples carried the purple turtle, and after dismissing the isolating array, it rushed towards the direction of the Inheritance Hall. After all, all the cultivators living in the secret realm were heading there.

She was previously sent out from the Heirloom Hall and delivered to a place surrounded by secret realms, which was roughly a day's journey away from the direction of Heirloom Hall.

The ripple horse rushed towards that direction non-stop. As it was alone, it was soon surrounded by several suspicious-looking cultivators.

Her ripples of eyebrows rose, she was just worried that she couldn't find anyone, these evil cultivators had come to her door themselves.

With one move, "Gale Wind," she ensnared the four individuals within her own wind formations. She intended to leave one alive, hoping to glean some information from them.

In the next instant, the crimson flames imbued with wind blades struck the evil cultivator's body.

"Oh!!!"

Screams echoed throughout the area.

Ripples immediately said:

"Leave a way out"

It was too late, after all. Looking at the demon cultivator turning into a pile of ashes, Lian'Ri helplessly addressed the Red Lotus Inferno:

"Little Fire"

"I don't want to be called Xiao Huo, give me a nice name." deliberately restraining her, so she hid far away, acting as if they were water from different wells and didn't interfere with each other.Ripple this time didn't want to summon Momiji for her task be...
