Chapter 163
At the entrance of the Buddha’s Six Prisons.
The place was desolate. There is not even a blade of grass growing. Whether it was the ground underfoot or the mountainous rock walls, all were stained red.
The entrance to the Six Prisons was located inside a gigantic skull.
The skull was over ten zhang high, said to be the remains of the Demon Suppression Palace Old Ancestor.
Four temples were located at the four corners of the skull, inhabited by the Great Ascetic Monks of the Buddha Temple.
The ascetics did not concern themselves with worldly matters, spending their days either in meditation and chanting scriptures or on the way to chant scriptures.
The status and power of the Great Ascetic Monks were equivalent to the Supreme Elders of the Jiuyan Sect.
And with these four monks guarding, no one had escaped from the Buddha’s Six Prisons since the temple was established a hundred years ago.
After the high ringing of the Buddha bell, the four ascetics went to the main Buddha Temple.
Just then, the Martial Emperor turned into a streak of blood and arrived.He glanced indifferently at the huge skull before slowly stepping inside, entering the Buddha’s Six Prisons.
Then a red figure floated from afar not long after he entered. It was Xiao Hongyi.
Behind her followed the Liu brothers, Liu Wen and Liu Wu, as well as a large White Tiger.
“Peak Master, was that person just now Mu Kui?” Liu Wen asked in surprise.
Xiao Hongyi did not respond, her expression somewhat solemn.
She didn’t know what had happened but could sense a change in Mu Kui’s aura.
The violent aura reminded her of the Martial Emperor.
Despite sensing a change in the situation, she did not hesitate and took the lead in entering the skull.
The Liu brothers felt somewhat uneasy, as the rumors of Buddha’s Six Prisons were that they could make one wish for death but not obtain it.
Both of their cultivation levels were not high, and they feared that they might perish before even finding Jiang Chen! “The two of you going in would just be offering up your heads; better to stay and guard outside,” Xiaobai commanded with an air of authority before entering.
The Liu brothers were conflicted, but ultimately they nodded in agreement.
As Xiaobai had said, with their level of cultivation, going in would indeed be futile.
At the first layer of Buddha’s Six Prisons, the “Joy” Prison.
Upon arriving, Xiaobai was immediately shocked.
It was said that Buddha’s Six Prisons were cruel and terrifying, but what appeared before her was an empty space surrounded by stone walls with about a hundred cultivators inside.
These cultivators looked slightly mad, scattered around, and each behaving differently.
Some stared at pebbles on the ground, muttering and weeping with joy, some laughed hysterically at the smooth stone walls, and some hugged a rock, kissing and laughing with it, which was extremely bizarre.
This was the Joy Prison.
As the name suggests, those in the Joy Prison would automatically envision scenes of happiness that would make them laugh uncontrollably.
This might sound blissful, but if someone were to laugh for a hundred years, even the most joyful things would become numb.
Their hearts might be numb, but their laughter would not cease.
It was said that many cultivators were tormented to the point of crying while laughing, eventually dying from laughter, and some even laughed crazily as they committed suicide.
Xiaobai was shocked because another scene appeared before her.
In the scene, she was burying people alive with Qingning.
Shovel after shovel, tired yet joyful.
Behind the tiger and the woman, there were thousands of graves, and from a distance, the closely packed graves formed the words “Defy Heaven”!
“Haha!”
Xiaobai laughed inexplicably.
She laughed even harder when she saw herself and Qingning in the scene about to bury Lin Feng alive.
As she laughed, she started to move.
She began to dig with her front paws, saying as she dug, “I am a White Tiger that can defy the heavens. By defying the heavens, I am the Heavenly Tiger! By burying this Son of Destiny, I may become the Tiger of Destiny! Haha! Peak Master, come and dig!”
“…Silly tiger.”
Xiao Hongyi sneered with a glance.
But the next second, she was stunned.
What caught her eye was a room with red silk drapes.
Inside the room, candles flickered and she was dressed in a phoenix crown and wedding robe. She looked happy and anxious.
“Squeak—”
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
Dressed in a groom’s red robe and slightly tipsy, Jiang Chen entered.
Picking up a golden rod from the wooden table, he lifted the red veil while gazing drunkenly at Xiao Hongyi.
“Master, you look so beautiful today,” Jiang Chen said.
Hearing this, Xiao Hongyi’s cheeks reddened, and she couldn’t help but smile.
But the next second, her heart ached.
Indeed, the scene before her eyes made her “joyful,” but this joy also intensified the sense of sin in her heart.
Moreover, with her cultivation level, it was very difficult to be fully influenced.
“Screech—”
A phoenix cry suddenly rose.
Phoenix fire, hot like waves, surged out from Xiao Hongyi’s body, spreading and quickly enveloping the entire “Joy” Prison.
The cultivators in this layer generally had low cultivation and couldn’t resist.
In the midst of the phoenix fire, those cultivators were laughing heartily for a moment; the next, they were burned by the phoenix fire, turning into bare bones.
The bones were then burned by the phoenix fire and turned into ash and dissipated.
Before dying, the cultivators finally regained consciousness.
Although the burning of the phoenix fire caused them immense pain, they all had relieved smiles on their faces.
This was Buddha’s Six Prisons, a fate worse than death. And in an instant, Xiao Hongyi had taken the lives of hundreds of people.
In the Joy Prison, where cultivators had gathered just moments ago, only she and the large White Tiger remained digging and nearly laughing to tears.
To this, Xiao Hongyi felt no ripples in her heart.
During the nine cycles of reincarnation, she had said that this world should be destroyed.
The reason she hadn’t wantonly killed and destroyed was because of Jiang Chen.
Still, compared to destroying this world, being by Jiang Chen’s side was her greatest desire!
She kicked Xiaobai into a corner, and more intense phoenix fire emerged from her body.
The phoenix fire soared, turning the Joy Prison into a Fire Prison.
The phoenix fire burned the air and the stone walls, devouring everything in its path, and the air under the high temperature even made a “crackling” sound like it was breaking.
Several hours later,
“Crack!”
A clearer sound of breaking echoed, and the space around crumbled into pieces, leaving nothingness.
“Go.”
Xiao Hongyi whispered.
Under her control, the Phoenix fire converged into the shape of a Phoenix bird, enveloping those pieces of space.
Several more hours passed.
The space fragments disappeared in the phoenix fire, forming a drop of condensed essence blood that fell from the sky.
Xiao Hongyi’s fair right hand flipped, and the essence blood landed in her hand.
“I had only guessed before, but this phoenix fire is indeed a heavenly fire, capable of refining hell,” she murmured softly.
She knew Jiang Chen’s plan but did not intend to just watch.
Her visit to the Six Prisons this time was with the intention of using the phoenix fire to refine the Six Prisons and destroy Lin Feng’s opportunity in advance.
And this goal had been achieved.
After all, there was already a drop of essence blood in her hand, and Lin Feng was destined to have no fate with the Six Prisons’ Demon Suppression Body.
As for Xiaobai, she had already come to her senses when Xiao Hongyi kicked it.
Seeing Xiao Hongyi looking at herself and recalling the tragic state of the monks before their deaths, Xiaobai shivered and said,
“Beautiful master, I’m a tiger, not tasty when roasted…”
Xiao Hongyi rolled her eyes at her.
“Open your mouth,” she commanded, without room for objection.
Xiaobai dared not disobey and followed the order.
Immediately after, Xiao Hongyi threw the essence blood from her hand, which flew directly into Xiaobai’s mouth.
“Does it hurt?” Xiao Hongyi asked again.
Xiaobai shook her head.
“Is there any reverse flow of blood qi, any signs of your body exploding?” Xiao Hongyi continued to inquire.
“…Exploding?”
Xiaobai was startled, “Will eating that thing cause my body to explode?!”
“If ordinary cultivators or demonic beasts consume this essence blood, which is condensed from an ancient physique, they indeed would explode and die. Only those who practice ancient techniques or possess an ancient physique can withstand it.”
Xiao Hongyi stated bluntly, “You’re lucky, the concentration of ancient bloodline in your body meets the standard, so you won’t explode for now.”
“For now?!” Xiaobai exclaimed in shock.
“Mhm, whether you’ll actually explode or not will only be known after you consume other essence blood.”
“I don’t want to eat such a dangerous thing!”
“That’s fine, I never force anyone. But then I’ll eat you if you don’t eat it.”
