Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao C.3910: Karmic Flames

The others continued to advance, but Ling Han and the others were still sitting in cross- legged positions, comprehendin the Saint Technique.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Ling Han stood up. He had already truly grasped a Saint Technique, but now, he could only unleash 10% of its might at most. Next, it would be hard cultivation and enlightenment. How much might a Saint Technique could truly unleash would depend on one's luck.

Sometimes, Saint Techniques and Imperial Techniques still had problems of affinity, and it was not something that could be done just by talent alone.

He did not stop, and strode off.

Feng Jixing opened his eyes and stared at Ling Han's back, his killing intent flickering.

If it was not for the fact that he did not have the confidence to kill Ling Han, he would definitely make a move.

He had a powerful trump card that could threaten Core Formation Tier, but with how freakish Ling Han was, he believed that the latter would also have a trump card that was not weak. Thus, unless he himself could crush Ling Han, he had no wish to use up his trump card, just like that.

It was fine. When he broke through again and advanced into the Core Formation Tier, he would be able to kill Ling Han with a single hand.

...

Ling Han caught up with the main force. This time, they weren't cultivating a precious technique in some great hall, but rather surrounded a massive willow tree.

This willow tree was three hundred meters tall, but its leaves were as black as ink. Its branches drooped, and black Qi diffused, causing the whole willow tree to seem to be exuding a black light, which was incredibly bizarre.

Black Divine Willow!

This was the rare treasure that the Core Formation Tier elites had entered this space to fight over. In truth, it could extend one's lifespan by a hundred years, and even in the outside world, it could be considered a precious treasure. freёnovelkiss.com

-To a person whose lifespan had dried up, to say nothing of a hundred years, even a year or half a year was incredibly precious.

Thus, even if these Core Formation Tier elites decided to leave, they would still snatch the Divine Tree Heart. That way, after a few thousand years, their lifespans would dry up, and this could extend their lifespans by a hundred years.

Of course, now that they were fighting over the Divine Tree Heart, there was not as much urgency as before. It was best if they could snatch it, and even if they couldn't, there was no need for them to put their lives on the line.

However, there was a corpse beneath the Black Divine Willow, and this caused everyone to not dare approach.

This corpse was sitting cross-legged, and there was a hole in the top of its head. Aside from that, there was no other wound on its entire body. This was a fatal injury.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but the clothes on the corpse had long since turned into dust, and only the skeleton was left behind. But even so, it still exuded a terrifying aura, that others would not be able to approach at all.

If he couldn't get close enough, how was he supposed to obtain the Divine Tree Heart?

This corpse must have been astonishingly powerful when it was alive. Otherwise, it couldn't have emitted such a terrifying aura even after death, that Core Formation Tier cultivators couldn't even approach it.

The treasure was right in front of his eyes, yet he was unable to retrieve it. What could he do? After the Core Formation Tier elites discussed for a while, they decided to ask Prosperous Heaven for help.

She was the Holy Daughter of the Buddhist Race. If she could expiate this corpse, that it would release its hold on this world, and it would naturally be impossible for it to have such a terrifying aura.

It wasn't long before they invited Prosperous Heaven over. It was clear that Prosperous Heaven had a displeased expression on her face. After all, she was presently comprehending a Saint Technique. No one would be happy if they were interrupted at this moment.

However, after Prosperous Heaven looked at this corpse, the displeasure on her face immediately disappeared.

She nodded, "When this person was alive, he was a Venerate Tier elite. Even if he has been dead for millions and millions of years, his powerful aura still did not disperse. Though I can expiate his soul, I would need everyone's full help."

"We are willing to lend a helping hand to Holy Daughter," all the Core Formation Tiers said.

Prosperous Heaven did not take out that wooden fish, but rather a tribute table. There was a small incense burner placed on it, and a stick of incense was inserted.

There was only a quarter of the joss stick left, exuding an incredibly ancient aura. She was extremely careful, as if that was a supreme precious treasure.

This time, it wasn't ten Core Formation Tiers, but rather all the Core Formation Tiers that were contributing Core Formation Tier towards this tribute table.

What was surprising was that after sustaining the power of so many Core Formation Tier cultivators, the tribute table did not change at all. Instead, it was that incense stick that suddenly lit up, and then began to burn. Immediately, a refreshing fragrance wafted out.

Ling Han focused his gaze, and couldn't help but feel surprised, because he saw that there was actually a scene of all living beings worshipping in the joss flames.

"This is the Buddhist intent of all beings of the Buddhist Race." Someone who knew what was what, said from the sidelines, "The Buddhist fragrance condensed from Spiritual Power has an astonishing effect in expiating the dead souls."

"Spiritual Power actually turned into incense?"

"Hehe, this is the power of the Buddhist Race. Furthermore, this is not simply Spiritual

Power. It needs an incredibly sincere belief."

The Buddhist Race had existed for countless years, so they would naturally be studied by others. Many of their techniques weren't secrets.

Prosperous Heaven stimulated the Buddhist fragrance, which floated towards that corpse. When the Buddhist fragrance touched the corpse, it was instantly visible that this corpse was actually burning fiercely.

Fear appeared on the faces of all those Core Formation Tiers. They felt that they would definitely die if they were touched by such flames.

"Supreme Karmic Flames!" Another person recognized the origins of these flames.

"One of the strongest killing moves of the Buddhist Race."

"Us cultivators have fought with the heavens and others all our lives, so it's inevitable that we'll commit murder and become criminals. Buddhist Race cultivators have methods to attract the judgment of heaven and earth, burning their sins to form karmic flames."

"This cannot be snuffed out, nor can it be extinguished. Only when the karma is completely ignited, will the karmic flames stop."

Even Ling Han was astonished. The Buddhist Race actually had the means to burn their sins? This was truly astonishing.

The path of cultivation for cultivators was the heaven-defying path. The higher one's cultivation level, the deeper one's crime would be. Who could withstand this kind of burning?

No, as long as one's abilities were strong enough, he would be able to suppress his own sins, and there was no way that he would be burnt. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been need for so many Core Formation Tier cultivators helping Prosperous Heaven, and there wouldn't have been so much foreplay. There would have been need to use the incense from the power of belief of all living beings. That should have been the key to igniting the flames of karma.

The corpse burned fiercely. At this time, there was no need for Prosperous Heaven to do anything else. She hurriedly extinguished the lingering incense, and carefully stored it away. This burning lasted for three days and three nights. When the karmic flames were extinguished, that corpse had completely turned into ash.

The strange thing was that the willow tree it was leaning against was completely unaffected. There was not a single trace of burn.

"The Karmic Flames will only burn oneself. Others have no karma with you, so how could they be affected?" someone explained.

However, after the corpse disappeared, a hole actually appeared in the place that it had

initially concealed!

Everyone exchanged looks. What was going on here?

There was an excited expression on Prosperous Heaven's face. She was the first to walk out,

and wormed into the tree hollow.

Even a Cauldron Forging Tier woman dared to pass, so how could the others have the nerve to

show weakness?

All the Core Formation Tiers followed her into the cave, and there seemed to be an endless space inside. One after another, they walked in, and actually did not say that it was too crowded, and those behind them could not enter.

After waiting for a while, almost everyone outside had entered into the tree hollow. Only then did Ling Han follow them. He was now filled with both confusion and innumerable curiosity. Logically speaking, he had already obtained the celestial light here, so he should have left by now. However, with how curious he was, he still wanted to continue, and get to the bottom of this matter.
