Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 651 - 546: Red Lotus Karmic Fire!

Haotian Mirror!

As the Red Lotus Karmic Fire rushed at him in an instant, Qi Xiu immediately summoned the Haotian Mirror, its flawless white light transforming into countless strands that fell down, firmly blocking that eerie and violent crimson flame outside.

"No wonder it's one of the Heaven and Earth Divine Fires, this flame... has a spirit essence."

With the protection of the Haotian Mirror's Light, Qi Xiu was temporarily unharmed, and his gaze then fell upon the surging Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

The crimson firelight was like a surging tide, vaguely transforming into enchanting, blazing lotus flowers.

With a slight change in expression, Qi Xiu attempted to send an External Incarnation outside the range of the mirror's light.

In just an instant, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, as if sensing prey, surged and entwined it immediately, giving the External Incarnation no time to react before it was turned to nothingness.

Seeing that the External Incarnation couldn't withstand even a single breath, Qi Xiu couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

The External Incarnation, though only possessing one percent of his power,

was comparable to an ordinary Dao Expert at the third level of Dao Embodiment.

Yet in front of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, it couldn't even last a single breath.

"If it were me, I probably wouldn't fare much better either."

With a helpless smile, realizing that even an instant was too much for the External Incarnation to withstand, Qi Xiu didn't think he could perform any better.

Being burned by the Karmic Fire would likely result in the demise of his body and Dao.

"Fortunately, the Haotian Mirror is forged from Haotian Dao Jade, one of the few materials not afraid of being burned by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire."

Having witnessed the power of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Qi Xiu checked the state of the Haotian Mirror.

After all, if the Haotian Mirror couldn't hold and shattered, he would likely perish in this vast sea of flames.

However, the Haotian Dao Jade, used to forge the Haotian Mirror, is known as the foundation of the Great Dao, the original source of all ages. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire, which burns karmic cause and effect and traces back to the source, cannot affect the Haotian Dao Jade.

Confirming that the Haotian Mirror was undamaged, Qi Xiu felt slightly relieved, and with a flip of his palm, he took out a slab about the size of a palm, two fingers wide, wrapped in golden silk. The exposed part was intertwined with purple-gold and azure colors, as if the two colors were flowing together on a jade command token.

[Nine Heavens Shenxiao Imperial Thunder Command]

It was given to Qi Xiu by Dongfang Qing before heading to the Blood Lotus Great World. If attacked by a Primordial Spirit-level force, this command token could be used to resist and counterattack.

Recently, Dongfang Qing contacted Qi Xiu and instructed him to retrieve the [Flying Immortal Pot] from the Core Earth Repository, also advising at the last moment.

If encountered with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, this command token could resolve it.

"Right now I am still unscathed, so there is no need to hastily use this command token. I should first find that Flying Immortal Pot."

Holding the [Nine Heavens Shenxiao Imperial Thunder Command] in his hand, Qi Xiu, shielded by the Haotian Mirror, began walking in the Core Earth Repository filled with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

The dazzling red fire made it impossible for ordinary vision to see clearly, so Qi Xiu had to use the Observing Qi Skill.

The [Flying Immortal Pot] is a divine artifact treasure, so its aura must be extraordinary. But in this Core Earth Repository, why are there two auras?

In the special vision where black and white intertwined, Qi Xiu looked around. Two distinctly different intense auras appeared before him like smoke signals.

One was turbid and chaotic, resembling a deep swamp. Gazing upon it, the inexplicable murkiness seemed to spread through his sight.

The other was clear and bright, brilliantly radiant, like sufficient red gold, suffused with a transcendence beyond the mundane world.

After a brief hesitation, Qi Xiu stepped towards that clear and bright aura.

Traversing through layers of blazing waves, Qi Xiu didn't rashly use the Escape Skill amidst the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, to prevent uncontrollable accidents, but rather approached the aura step by step.

The immaculate mirror light was like a sharp blade, cutting through the layers of surging fire sea, paving a path leading to the depths of the Core Earth Repository.

"No wonder Zhao Siji and his group have occupied the Blood Lotus Great World for thousands of years and still haven't managed to take the Flying Immortal Pot from here.

This Core Earth Repository is almost entirely filled with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, with nowhere to hide or evade.

Not to mention taking the Flying Immortal Pot, even progressing in this Core Earth Repository is extremely difficult."

The deeper into the Core Earth Repository he went, the denser the Red Lotus Karmic Fire became. Even with the Haotian Mirror as a shield, Qi Xiu still felt a bit of intense fiery energy seeming to penetrate through the mirror light, burning onto his body.

After traveling who knows how long in this sea of fire.

A clear and bright pool, suspended in the void, with a golden hue appeared before Qi Xiu.

"This is..."

Unexpectedly, in the depths of the sea of fire, there was a source of water, and Qi Xiu couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise.

His gaze swept over this pool, and his expression changed accordingly.

"It's not the Flying Immortal Pot?"

At the center of the pond, on a vividly red lotus leaf, lay a gently cradled golden, flawless lotus seed with crimson patterns resembling the contours of the Great Dao on its surface.

This lotus seed was entirely Hunyuan, about the size of a dragon's eye, and the crimson patterns occasionally flashed with a glow, spurring Red Lotus Karmic Fires to blossom in the void.

"Could it be, this lotus seed is the source of this endless Red Lotus Karmic Fire."

Watching the continuously blooming Red Lotus Karmic Fires in the void, Qi Xiu's eyes showed understanding.

He originally thought that the source of this clear and bright aura would be the Flying Immortal Pot mentioned by the Supreme Sect Leader.

Since from its name, this item is a Righteous Dao Immortal Treasure, its aura should naturally be grand and majestic, clear and gentle.

But as it turns out, the affairs of the world always like to catch people by surprise.

Qi Xiu thought he was approaching the Flying Immortal Pot, only to find he was actually heading in the opposite direction.
