Chapter 101: Small Magical Powers and Replay (1)

The deadly aura that had spread from the Five Dragon Mountains in the north across Changlongpo still cast a dark cloud over the sky, but the disappearance of the tree ghost still made Luo Xuanyi's foothold more conspicuous. Luo Xuanyi fired a fireball from her body, incinerating all traces of the village. After confirming that no trace remained, she once again set up her escape beam and returned to the cave where she had previously practiced.

As soon as she returned to the cave, she first set up barriers everywhere for sensing, and then she was worried about what to do with the ghost fire ball in her hand.

To put it bluntly, the ghost flame offered no benefit to her cultivation. Though immensely powerful, it contained numerous impurities, making it a waste to consume and a waste to discard. She weighed it for a moment, her eyes catching sight of her idle form. Unable to meditate and absorb spiritual energy for a breakthrough, the body not controlled by Luo Xuanyi remained idle.

The body still needs to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to break through. She thought of the Yin-Yang Rain Body Technique that her body had just fluently used. She was very satisfied with Hu Yi's hard work. However, she saw that Hu Yi was getting anxious because he couldn't break through the realm no matter how hard he practiced. He was so worried that he was walking around in the small world without practicing. This was not good.

Luo Xuanyi looked at the ghost fire ball in her hand, not knowing what to do with it, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.

Hu Yi felt a nameless fire rising within him. He thought he'd encountered some kind of fortuitous encounter, but as he continued to cultivate, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth gradually thinned. That would have been fine, but his cultivation hadn't yet manifested itself in him. He hadn't made any progress at all.

The world seemed to be engulfed by a barrier. He couldn't breathe, yet he couldn't die. He wanted to break through the barrier, but he didn't have enough spiritual energy. This feeling was all too familiar. He recalled his breakthroughs to the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, and finally realized that he might have been captured and used as a laborer.

He screamed at the sky, trying to talk to his captors, but it was no use. He thought he might mean something to the people outside, and threatened suicide, but it was no use. There was no one there, no way to die. Was he going to live forever in this empty world of nothingness?

It would be better to be a tool! At least there's something to do. He was restless and couldn't calm down. Just as he was spinning around like a headless fly, the familiar wave startled him and made him look up suddenly.

“Here I come!”

The clouds parted, and the sun shone down. Hu Yi was stunned.

"Hey! What do you want me to do?"

Was everything I just thought wrong? Was this really just a strange world? He watched the blue sun slowly set amidst the gray clouds. A scorching flame swept across the sky. Hu Yi heard the howling of countless ghosts from within the flames. Before he could react, he was suddenly swept by a blast of flame and turned to ash!

"Ah! It actually hurts!" The flames left, and Hu Yi was reborn on the ground, hunched over and retching. The flames burned through his body in agony, and not only that, he felt a strange wind gust, which collided with his soul with a teeth-grinding friction sound, shattering it dozens of times and nearly destroying Hu Yi from the source of his spirit.

What the hell is this thing? Is it just for the fun of torturing me?

Hu Yi wiped his mouth, gnashing his teeth as he watched the sun drift. Suddenly, he noticed something was wrong. The sun didn't look like a naturally formed whole, but rather like a foreign object, woven together by someone. That person was lazy, and even a little disgusted. They'd just rubbed it twice, forming a rough sphere, and then tossed it over. The proof was the irregular angles and corners revealed as the sun drifted.

What kind of powerful being could accomplish this? He was terrified by his own assumptions. The flames swept across him, annihilating him several times. His little thoughts were burned to ash. Now he was simply worried about being tortured countless times by this blue, angular sun.

The sky suddenly fluctuated again, and Hu Yi immediately perked up, only to see a line of words slowly appear. As soon as Hu Yi saw it, he couldn't help but spit out sweet words.

“Who can do this?!”

"Refine it" was written clearly in the sky.

Regardless of how Hu Yi leaped up and down to break through the defenses, Luo Xuanyi was quite satisfied with having thrown the question to Hu Yi. When she had previously collected everyone's storage bags, she had already roughly understood the cultivators' cultivation directions from their contents. Hu Yi was a disciple of True Lord Bei Lian, so he definitely had a foundation in weapon forging, which was better than Luo Xuanyi's random guesses as an alchemist.

After solving the problem of Gui Yan, Luo Xuanyi can finally start preparing to break through the Art of Breaking Through All Evils.

She closed her eyes, feeling the surging evil thoughts within her body flow along with the already abundant death energy. She silently recited the "All Evils Attract Ghosts" technique and began to guide it. Wisps of flame were drawn from the original will-o'-the-wisp fire, swirling in circles, enveloping Luo Xuanyi from head to toe.

Pure murderous intent was first absorbed by the will-o'-the-wisp fire. A thick, turbulent black current merged into the flame veins, heading straight for its source, only to stop just outside the will-o'-the-wisp fire. An invisible hand spread the murderous intent, automatically forming countless strange and complex patterns.

As the pattern unfolded, the murderous intent made a "bang" sound and turned into an independent purple flame, and the small flame swayed around the original ghost fire.

Other evil thoughts also began to flow towards the Origin Will-O'-Wisp, transforming into purple flames that gradually surrounded it. The purple flames were enough to form three circles. As the Origin Will-O'-Wisp began to breathe and circulate, Luo Xuanyi threw out all the will-o'-the-wisp fire she had collected in the village and inhaled them in one breath. She felt a tremendous force filling the space surrounded by the purple flames. Then, the flames compressed, and the Origin Blue Will-O'-Wisp skyrocketed, swallowing all the power in one breath and beginning to distort!

Luo Xuanyi calmed down, combing through the layers one by one. The flames emanating from the strange cultivator illuminated the entire stone hall, sometimes dark blue, sometimes dark purple, before gradually settling back to dark blue.

Luo Xuanyi opened her eyes suddenly and breathed a sigh of relief.

This achievement allowed Luo Xuanyi to break through three levels in one go! She directly reached the first level of the first level of the All Evils Attracting Ghosts Technique! She felt refreshed all over, and just as she stood up, a strange sentence suddenly appeared in her mind.

"My evil is your evil."

As if it was a power born from nature, Luo Xuanyi comprehended the first minor magical power brought by the Art of All Evils Paying Homage to Ghosts - "Stealing Life to Evil".

Luo Xuanyi quickly dug out the "All Evils Exorcising Ghosts" to study, but she soon realized why she had no idea what this magical power was. Because the magical powers in the "All Evils Exorcising Ghosts" weren't fixed, but evolved based on the practitioner's actions, and the number of them was also variable. This meant Luo Xuanyi had to start studying her own magical powers again.

He was clearly cultivating, yet he lived like a researcher. Thinking of the experimental records from Guning Village, for which he had yet to summarize the patterns, Luo Xuanyi gave a wry smile and began to immerse himself in research.
