Chapter Sixty-Six: The Red Lotus of Karmic Fire Refines Karmic Power; Xuan Chu Intends to Launch a Decisive War Between the Lich King and the Demon King

Xuan Chu took Minghe under his wing and guided him out of the dead end of the method of severing the three corpses. Minghe kept his promise and lent Tongtian the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus. After obtaining the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, Tongtian couldn't wait to run back to Jin'ao Island.

After returning to Jin'ao Island, Kong Xuan and Jin Peng's situation was exactly as Tongtian had predicted, with no progress whatsoever. This made Tongtian very fortunate, as he had managed to borrow the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus; otherwise, Kong Xuan and Jin Peng's lives would have been ruined.

"You don't need to be discouraged. The reason you have difficulty making progress is ultimately because you are burdened by the karmic consequences of the Phoenix Clan. It has nothing to do with your background, aptitude, or efforts." Seeing that Kong Xuan and Jin Peng were somewhat discouraged, Tongtian comforted them.

How could Kong Xuan and Jin Peng not know what Tongtian was talking about? However, being born into the Phoenix Clan was not something they could choose. Sometimes Kong Xuan and Jin Peng couldn't understand why they had to bear the karmic consequences of the Phoenix Clan even though they hadn't done anything wrong. This was not fair to them at all.

"You don't need to worry. I received guidance from your grandmaster in the Pangu Palace and borrowed the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, from your Uncle Styx. The karmic fire of the red lotus can eliminate all karmic causes and effects, so the karmic causes and effects on you are no problem either," Tongtian said.

"Really!" Upon hearing this, the Kong brothers were overjoyed, as if a timely rain had fallen from the sky and they had been saved from a desperate situation. Just a second ago they were lamenting their misfortune, and the next second Tongtian told them that the karmic debts on their bodies could be resolved. Life is truly full of drama.

"I am a dignified Grand Luo Golden Immortal, one of the top powers in the primordial world. How could I possibly deceive you? Rest assured, this method was told to me by your grandmaster. It cannot be wrong," Tongtian said.

"Thank you, teacher!" Kong Xuan and his brother knelt before Tongtian, weeping bitterly. Over the years, they had suffered too many scornful looks. Bearing the blood of the Phoenix Clan, they were ostracized at every turn. They wanted to return to the Phoenix Clan, but because their bloodline was impure, the Phoenix Clan was unwilling to acknowledge their status as the Phoenix Clan's Crown Prince. It wasn't until they came to Jin'ao Island that they found a sense of belonging. They thought that living like this was fine, but they never expected that Tongtian would personally go to the Pangu Palace to ask Xuan Chu for help. Although they had never met Xuan Chu, they had heard many legends about him. He was an existence on par with Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor of the Xuanmen Sect. If he said that the Red Lotus Karmic Fire was possible, then it must be possible.

"Alright, stop acting like children." Tongtian felt sorry for the Kong brothers. He could imagine what they had gone through over the years. Fortunately, things were finally about to change.

"Kong Xuan, Jin Peng, although the Red Lotus Karmic Fire can eliminate karmic debts, it's not something that can be accomplished overnight. In my estimation, it will take at least a thousand years to completely eliminate the karmic debts on you two. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire is one of the Ten Great Divine Fires of the Primordial World, with immense power. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't dare to touch it casually. With your strength, there is a very high risk involved. Are you still willing to try?" Although he had the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, Tongtian still had to pour cold water on the Kong Xuan brothers. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire was extremely powerful, even ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals would find it difficult to withstand, let alone the Kong Xuan brothers, who were only at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation. If they were not careful, they would be reduced to ashes by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

"Disciples are willing, at any cost!" Kong Xuan and Jin Peng did not hesitate at all. They had suffered too many scornful looks. They hated this kind of life and desperately wanted to change it. They were willing to give their lives for it.

"Good!" Tongtian sent two streams of light into Kong Xuan and Jin Peng's bodies, saying, "These are protective talismans I'm giving you. They can protect your primordial spirits in critical moments. I hope you can succeed."

Thank you, teacher!

Tongtian activated the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus, which slowly bloomed. With a wave of his hand, Tongtian took the Kong brothers into the lotus. As the lotus slowly closed up again, Tongtian murmured, "I have done all I can. Now it is up to you to decide your fate. I hope you will not disappoint me."

After the ten suns appeared in the sky and Hou Yi shot them down, both the Wu and Yao races understood that the final battle was inevitable. Therefore, they were making their final preparations, and because of this, the prehistoric world ushered in a long-awaited peace. However, everyone in the prehistoric world knew that this was only the calm before the storm. The Wu-Yao decisive battle was unavoidable, and most prehistoric cultivators chose to close their mountain gates to avoid being drawn into the great calamity. Of course, some people believed that there was opportunity in danger. This great calamity was both a tribulation and an opportunity. If they could overcome it, the future would be promising, so they took the initiative to enter the calamity.

A thousand years later, Hou Yi emerged from the Pangu Blood Pool, his injuries fully healed. This greatly pleased Xuan Chu. Moreover, Xuan Chu discovered that Hou Yi had actually benefited from the misfortune, his cultivation advancing further. Although he was still at the early stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, he was far stronger than when he first entered the Hunyuan realm a thousand years ago, and was only one step away from the middle stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

"Hou Yi, you've done very well. I'm even more confident now in this great battle," Xuan Chu said to Hou Yi with a smile.

"It's all thanks to the help of the Great Ancestor Witch. Without the Great Ancestor Witch, how could Hou Yi be where he is today?" Hou Yi said gratefully to Xuan Chu.

"Uncle, Dijiang (Zhujiuyin...) requests an audience!" At this moment, the eleventh ancestral witch also arrived outside the Pangu Hall.

"Come in!" As soon as the words were spoken, the doors of the Pangu Palace slowly opened.

As soon as the eleventh Ancestral Witch entered, he saw Hou Yi completely unharmed and was very happy. Di Jiang walked to Hou Yi's side and said with a smile, "Good lad, not only have your injuries been completely healed, but your cultivation has also improved. You're almost catching up with us."

"You flatter me, Ancestral Witch Dijiang. I am no match for you Ancestral Witches," Hou Yi said humbly.

Hou Yi wasn't being truly humble. The eleven ancestral witches hadn't wasted these thousand years. As the Lich War reached its climax, the primordial fortune occupied by the witch clan, one of the main protagonists of the war, also reached its peak. With this fortune, all eleven ancestral witches advanced to the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

"Alright, let me ask you, how are the preparations for the final battle against the demon race going?" Xuan Chu interrupted Hou Yi and Di Jiang's conversation and asked.

"Uncle, everything is ready. If the demons dare to come, we will make sure they never return!" Di Jiang said confidently.

"Very well, since that's the case, then I command you to lead the Wu Clan warriors to the Thirty-Third Heaven a year from now!" Xuan Chu said.

"Yes, Uncle!" the eleventh Ancestral Witch said excitedly. They had waited for this day for far too long.

Why was Xuan Chu so eager to launch the final battle? It was because the demon race was so incompetent. When Xuan Chu learned that the demon race was slaughtering the human race, he guessed that the demon race was going to forge the Slaughtering Witch Sword. The Slaughtering Witch Sword was too much of a threat to the Ancestral Witches. Xuan Chu had long wanted to end this great calamity before the demon race could forge the Slaughtering Witch Sword, but accidents kept happening. First, Hou Tu evolved the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which resulted in one of the twelve Ancestral Witches being missing. Later, Hou Yi finally became an Ancestral Witch, but he was seriously injured by Tai Yi after shooting down nine little golden crows. Xuan Chu originally thought that everything was fate and that the Witch race was destined to face the Slaughtering Witch Sword.

But who could have imagined that the demon race would be so disappointing? Hou Yi had already emerged from seclusion, but the Demon-Slaying Sword was still not finished. How could Xuan Chu let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He immediately decided that a year later, he would have the eleven ancestral witches and Hou Yi lead the witch race to the Thirty-Third Heaven.
