Translator: 549690339
After a while, Lin Yi found himself in a place that looked even more like a fiery hell, where there was nothing but charred-red mountains and rocks, and plants were scarce.
If nothing unexpected had happened, he should now be in the Red Lotus Fire Field.
Despite the scarcity of plants, he sensed the presence of some powerful monster beasts.
The Red Lotus fire, which devoured all living creatures in the fire territory, could not possibly spare these beasts. The only explanation was the possibility he had speculated.”
That is, the Red Lotus fire must be sentient, knowing to reserve these powerful fire-type beasts so as to attract some cultivators to hunt them.
Upon entering, Lin Yi felt an even more intense heat swelling from the bottom of his heart. The spiritual artifact robe inscribed with ice patterns, seemed about to fail him.
A wild impulse rose within him, as if he wanted to slaughter everything in sight. However, the effect was not strong enough to make him lose his sense, it was controllable.
Lin Yi circulated the water series element continually within his body, easing some of the influence of the Red Lotus fire.
He just stepped into the edge of the Red Lotus Fire Field, and even as a Golden Core Real Person whose strength was comparable to the early stages of a Nascent Soul, was affected so intensely.
If an ordinary golden core entered, to maintain clarity of the spiritual platform, they would need to expend even greater effort.
At that moment, he suddenly sensed a faint presence of water series element. A strange look appeared on his face.
After the Five Elements merged into the Golden Core, his sensitivity to the Five Elements became extremely keen.
The Red Lotus Fire Field was so powerful that it could burn away all traces left by cultivators.
Especially the water series cultivators, the water series element left from casting spells to protect themselves would quickly disappear under the burning of fire element.
Unless the water series element trace was just left not long ago and has not been completely melted by the fire element.
A water series cultivator come to the Red Lotus Fire Field could be possibly for cultivation or hunting fire series beasts.
After all, water overcomes fire. Strong water series cultivators could still feel comfortable in the Red Lotus Fire State.
The cultivators who could enter the Red Lotus Fire Field were probably at least in the Golden Core Realm. Foundation Building cultivators entering, would simply be seeking death.
At this point, he suddenly thought of a water series Golden Core Real Person named Master of Bi Hai of the Liu Yun Sect for some reason.
Among the eleven Golden Core in the Liu Yun Sect, the most famous one was his master, the Gold Sword Zen Ren, and the most inconspicuous one was the Master of Bi Hai.
From his name, it can be seen that the Golden Core Real Person is best at water series abilities, but always mysterious and never involved in any disputes within the sect, always keeping a low profile.
Even his quota for the last secret realm was reportedly fought for by two Real Persons, Hua Yang and Wan Jun.
Moreover, Master of Bi Hai rarely makes a move, and no one knows to what extent his strength has reached.
After learning of Master of Bi Hai’s deeds, Lin Yi could not help but speculate that this Golden Core Real Person was likely to be a practitioner of the Path of Survivor and most probably a veteran survivor, not a novice.
He didn’t think much of it, put the matter of Master of Bi Hai behind his mind and started wondering about who had entered the fire territory and whether it would affect his future actions.
Because in the scene of Predict Crisis, he only saw a sky full of fire and a blooming red lotus, there were no traces of any water series cultivators.
Suddenly, Lin Yi seemed to have thought of something, he vigorously shook his head. There is no way that Master of Bi Hai’s memory would come out of the blue in his mind.
It is likely to be some effects brought by the title, such as [Face Difficulties Head On], which would bring some luck and protection when undertaking a significant challenge.
The spark of inspiration that came from the primer of the water element and made him think of Master of Bi Hai is also a luck and protection.
However, most people wouldn’t pay much attention to these flashes of insight triggered in their minds.
For example, some people suddenly remember they forgot something when leaving the house, they turn around and go back home, inadvertently avoiding a car accident. This is the effect of luck.
Suddenly, the memory of the Master of Bi Hai appeared in his mind, which surely meant something.
After some consideration, Lin Yi decided to use the Eye of Emptiness, which could more directly perceive potential danger. If anyone was going to harm him within the Red Lotus Fire Field, there would definitely be karmic threads connecting them.
He donned his title and used the Eye of Emptiness. Upon seeing his own karmic threads, his face slightly changed.
Previously there were only two karmic threads, one belonged to Fire Feather in blue and the other belonged to Red Lotus Fire in crimson.
Now, another red thread of fate had appeared. Unlike the fiery crimson color, this red was akin to fresh blood, representing negative states such as hatred and resentment.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel puzzled. As he wore the Path of Survivor title every day, his Presence and Hatred Value had both reduced by 35% at the current title level.
Yet he still managed to attract suspicion and hate from someone, someone who had been watching him all along unbeknownst to him.
Perhaps this person had some motive, keeping their attention on him at all times for their memory to remember.
Could this person actually be the Master of Bi Hai? He had been low-key within the sect, steady as an old survivor. Why would he choose to give up being cautious now? Was he preparing to close the net?
If all these conjectures were true, that would mean the Master of Bi Hai’s schemes were frightening indeed, having silently woven a large net intending to trap Lin Yi within.
Lin Yi pondered for a moment. There wasn’t anything on him that would make a Golden Core Real Person so fixated.
He shook his head. However, there was a possibility that this Golden Core Real Person might have guessed his relationship with the Dan God Secret Realm by observing his every move.
It could only be the Dan God Secret Realm, abundant with resources, that would make an old survivor like Golden Core throw caution to the wind and make a move.
But that didn’t make any sense either. Even if he were captured, the Dan God Secret Realm wouldn’t be obtainable.
From the direction of the karmic threads, it could be deduced that both the blue and red lines were nearly overlapping, indicating Fire Feather was under the control of this person, lying in wait for him here.
However, what puzzled him was that he had used the Eye of Emptiness before at the places where Fire Fierce died and at the volcano crossroads, but he didn’t detect the presence of the red karmic thread.
Unless the blue karmic thread symbolizing Fire Feather was fluctuating, it wasn’t indicating danger but a sign that another thread of fate was about to appear.
As he worried that staring for too long would lead to an overconsumption of spiritual power, Lin Yi would close the Eye of Emptiness after just one glance each time he used it.
Perhaps, at that time, the person symbolized by the red karmic thread had just entered the Red Lotus Fire State, while Fire Feather was manipulated and placed somewhere in the Fire State or Fire Field.
If someone familiar with the Red Lotus Fire State added the water elemental power of the Golden Core Realm, they would indeed move faster than his cautious self, but not by much. This was why he had just detected the presence of water elements.
By now he had fully realized why he had been able to find feathers from Fire Feather that guided him all along the path. Someone had set a huge trap and was waiting for him to fall into it.
Since he was not in any mortal danger today according to the prediction, it meant that this person’s realm hadn’t reached that of the Nascent Soul.
Perhaps the actual Red Lotus Fire presented in the Predict Crisis painting was invoked by this very person.
The two karmic threads didn’t stretch too far, perhaps that person didn’t dare to venture too deep, fearing that they wouldn’t be able to escape.
Lin Yi smiled. He had come this far and didn’t want to think too much. Let strength dictate things. He would see if this person was really the Master of Bi Hai as he had speculated, and check whether his Predict Crisis ability was completely accurate.
Now there was still an hour until the time for the day’s crisis premonition. He couldn’t waste this time on predicting the future.
He had not thought of any plan and decided to act by intuition.
Then, Lin Yi leisurely walked to an open space, holding several red feathers in his hand, and shouted out loud, “Whoever the senior friend is, waiting for me here, I’m here now, come out please.”
He didn’t change back from his Overlord Form because it was a virtual identity. By killing in this identity, nobody could trace the karmic cause, making it the best choice for murder and loot.
As for the karmic relationship in the Red Lotus Fire State, it was something only he could check, and others would not be able to see the karmic ties of a virtual identity.
