Top enlightenment at 100 years old-Chapter 568 - 567: Ascending to Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the Final Step

Chapter 568: Chapter 567: Ascending to Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the Final Step

At the same time.

A clear staircase suddenly appeared in the void before him.

Is it instructing me to step onto that second stair?

Ji Haoyuan understood in his heart.

He realized that although the mountain is called Hundred Treasures Mountain,

its essence ultimately still adheres to the rules of Thousand Dao Peak.

Everything revolves around comprehending the Dao patterns and understanding the origin as the core.

Without hesitation, Ji Haoyuan immediately stepped onto that second stair.

Buzz!

At that moment, endless flames suddenly surged around him.

Under his feet, runes flickering with fiery textures blossomed in colorful light.

In the void, a divine bird and beasts formed from Solar True Fire, Lunar Divine Fire, Southern Bright Push Fire, and even Samadhi True Fire swooped at him.

Though these flames mostly appeared in an illusory form, their essence contained the core rules of the fire Dao.

Even a Mahayana expert here, if careless, could be turned to ashes.

Ji Haoyuan was certainly no exception.

Therefore, from the beginning, he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

He manifested similarly powerful fire rules around him.

In the sky, crimson divine halos appeared instantaneously.

They transformed into lotus flowers, divine platforms, and waterfalls, blocking the attacks of the divine bird and beasts.

Meanwhile, the third eye in his brow, the Eye of Divine Punishment, gleamed with strange radiance as it swiftly analyzed the nature of the endless flame texture runes on the stair beneath him.

Boom!

Suddenly, crimson lotuses bloomed on his body.

That was his Red Lotus Purifying Fire.

At this moment, it was undergoing an extraordinary transformation.

This is a sign of impending metamorphosis.

Today, there is a high possibility that he will truly comprehend his own Red Lotus Karmic Fire using the fire Dao runes before him as nourishment.

Once he masters the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, all impurities, curses, and calamity qi will struggle to approach him.

Rumble!

In the sky, various fire rules, divine techniques, and magic collided, constantly erupting extremely terrifying waves.

The void cracked into densely packed fissures under the level of these explosions.

Even a Harmonization Celestial Monarch here might be severely injured or even perish from the terrifying aftermath.

Yet at this moment, Ji Haoyuan seemed detached from it all, his essence qi, spirit, and mind wholly immersed in the fire runes on the stair before him.

Finally.

As time passed.

The crimson lotuses surrounding his body unexpectedly emitted waves of fragrance.

In the next instant, endless crimson divine flames ignited within Ji Haoyuan.

His orifices, and even every pore on his skin, spewed crimson flames.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Suddenly, pale brown and black mists swept out from his body.

They dispersed in mid-air and were wholly burned away by the flames surrounding him.

They turned out to be marks and negative curses lingering on him, unknown even to him.

Now, under the burning of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, they were not only fully revealed but completely incinerated.

Indeed.

The Red Lotus Purifying Fire that Ji Haoyuan originally mastered has been elevated to Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

From now on, similar negative curses and marks left deliberately by others, including calamity qi, will struggle to approach him.

Should they come near, under the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, they will have no place to hide.

Buzz!

Simultaneously, all attacks targeting him vanished instantly.

A gemstone, like a ruby, flew out from the void and fell into Ji Haoyuan’s hand in an instant.

"This is?

Half-Ninth Tier Heavenly Fire Divine Crystal!"

Undoubtedly, the quality of this item approaches that of a Nine-Tier item.

If used as the main material to forge a Fire Attribute Magical Treasure, it might create a treasure surpassing ordinary Profound Celestial Treasures.

This place, for me, is indeed a treasure trove.

Ji Haoyuan’s lips curled into a slight smile.

He looked ahead at another stair that appeared.

Without hesitation, he stepped onto it.

Just like this.

Ji Haoyuan defended against various attacks on the stairs with his strength while comprehending the runes with his unparalleled insight.

Soon.

He stepped on more than ten stairs in succession.

During which he experienced storms, lightning, giant mountains, tsunamis, and the baptism of light and dark rules.

He analyzed them all one by one.

And in his hand, many eighth-tier, and half-ninth-tier treasures and divine items appeared.

It is no exaggeration to say, with the resources he currently possesses, forging a Half-Immortal Treasure is likely no longer a problem.

Finally.

When Ji Haoyuan stepped onto another stair, he suddenly had an enlightenment.

This stair is the final stair of this ascent.

If he can analyze the essential rules here, he will receive an Immortal Treasure fragment located here.

It holds power that can truly threaten the life of a Mahayana Saint Monarch.

Especially in his hands, it can unleash power exceeding ordinary Immortal Treasure fragments.

Boom!

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan felt as though countless light shadows passed before his eyes.

These light shadows were all interwoven with rules of reality and illusion.

Even the stair he stood on became blurred and unreal under the influence of these light shadows.

Vaguely, Ji Haoyuan felt like he had returned to the past and simultaneously arrived at the future.

This astonished him.

For he suddenly discovered that the rules existing here, besides reality and illusion, seemed to have residual rules of time.

Unless he leaves now, if he stays in this place, he truly risks getting lost here.

But likewise.

If he can truly decipher the essence of these two rules, it will undoubtedly be a leap in his power.

This is of utmost importance to him.

Soon, in his consciousness, he seemed to live through different life experiences one after another.

Yet in his subconscious, he remained somewhat lucid.

However, in this level of trial, remaining lucid is far from enough.

He needs to decipher and truly comprehend the essential rules here in this state.

Fortunately.

With his insight, while deciphering the essential rules may not be easy, it is not impossible either.

It seemed to happen in an instant, or perhaps after a long time.

When he opened his eyes once more, he realized the world had completely changed.

His body was enveloped in dense Dao rhyme of the rules.

Reality and illusion seemed to hinge on his thoughts.

Even time appeared to be captured by him.

This is a rather remarkable feat.

As the saying goes, time is ultimate, space is sovereign.

Even to grasp just a thread of the time rule for him is unimaginable in enhancing his power.
