Chapter 46

A burst of laughter!

Suddenly smiling, it was like ten thousand flowers blooming, extremely gorgeous. Her sleeves like clouds, she suddenly extended her delicate and soft hands. Flames like rainbows converged into a long bridge, in an instant it seemed to cross boundless voids, a rainbow light flew out, enveloping the young lady in the hall, drawing her into the front.

"Shouldn't you be looking for your good master? Why are you looking for me, this old woman no one cares about?" Jin Yuexi slightly turned her large sleeves, lightly sitting on the huge divine throne, speaking calmly. She neither confirmed nor denied Jin Mudan's angry words, as if she hadn't heard them.

The golden-clad girl's phoenix eyes glistened with tears, her face full of委屈 (grievance) as she said, "Look at what you're saying, you are my mother, my closest person. If I'm wronged, who else could I turn to?"

The red-clad woman glanced at the golden-clad girl who was feigning grievance, her jade face stern as she said, "Who knows if you didn't first go to that stinky old woman Yin Ruohua!" Though her words were harsh, a hint of gentle smile flashed in her eyes.

"Speak, I want to know who has the nerve to harm my daughter!"

Jin Mudan was overjoyed upon hearing this, thinking to herself that with Mother's help, that damned thief would have no chance of escape.

She then didn't hide anything, recounting the disputes with Jun Wuming in detail, from the initial Fog of Lust to the subsequent pursuit, ambush, encountering the dragon, and accidentally entering the ancient goddess's cave.

Then she slightly turned her jade palm, flicking out a faint, intangible aura, pushing it to Jin Yuexi.

"Mother, please look. This is a wisp of that thief's aura, which I specially intercepted!"

A glint of light flashed in Jin Yuexi's eyes. She casually pointed at the faint, intangible aura, fixing it in the air, examining it carefully. Then she looked up and down at Jin Mudan, her phoenix eyes like substantial gazes, making Jin Mudan feel slightly uneasy.

She frowned slightly, then smiled.

Jin Yuexi was very satisfied with Jin Mudan's trust. Ordinary disciples would never dare to openly reveal their fortuitous encounters, keeping the news tightly hidden, even from their closest relatives, for fear of being taken advantage of by others.

Jin Mudan's complete disclosure made her very pleased.

Flames flew, her eyes suddenly flaring with red light, a fiery wheel slowly materializing behind her, forming a huge fiery divine wheel behind her head. Her clothes fluttered, the divine wheel blazing like the sun, emitting a vast divine aura, as if a goddess born from the nine heavens.

She lightly waved her hand, an invisible wind and firelight forming a cage, instantly trapping the wisp of Jun Wuming's vital aura.

She gently locked this wisp of aura in the void, a red light emerging from her fingertips, a jade mirror slowly appearing from the golden-clad girl beside her. She pointed at the jade mirror twice, powerful firelight surging in.

A slightly thin figure slowly emerged from the mirror, dressed in black, with a sword-like brow, long hair cascading down, a diamond-shaped water drop divine mark on his forehead, and a lazy smile on his lips—none other than Jun Wuming!

At this moment, the black-clad youth in the tree was already aware. The moment the red-clad woman cast her spell, the stars in the sky sent warnings, indicating a great calamity.

Compared to the red-clad woman using the Heavenly Mechanism Treasure Mirror to deduce his whereabouts, Jun Wuming's "Star Destiny" was clearly superior, able to see through the calculations of sixth-stage and above experts with just a fourth-stage realm.

However, sometimes, no matter how profound the method or how powerful the secret technique, without strong power and deep cultivation, it was helpless. Like now, even though he knew Jin Mudan was plotting against him, he could only passively defend, unable to counter or even injure the enemy.

Although he couldn't counter, he could still deceive the enemy. Jun Wuming's slightly cold face suddenly bared his white teeth in a grin, a sinister look in his eyes.

His mind moved, power surging in his palm, a vast starlight from the sky descending like a meteor. But it only flashed briefly, and if not noticed, it would seem like an illusion.

His mind merged with the Eight Trigram Silver Mirror, fully activating the Northern Dipper Divine Calculation.

A silver, substantial starlight enveloped Jun Wuming, suddenly making the black-clad youth seem like a shining star!

The Yin Spirit Primordial Fetus, about to take shape, suddenly transformed into a purple sun under his mental control, falling into the silver Eight Trigram array in his divine palace, mobilizing the Eight Trigram Li position starlight in his sea of consciousness, fully concealing his aura.

However, in the jade-colored treasure mirror in front of Jin Mudan and the red-clad woman, the black-clad Jun Wuming was quietly sitting in an underwater palace, meditating and cultivating!

"Is it him?"

"It's him!" Jin Mudan's willow eyebrows stood on end; she would recognize the figure in the mirror even if it turned to ashes!

"Good, if so, I will thoroughly eliminate him for you!"

Jin Mudan's heart skipped a beat, hesitating, "Mother, there's more. He has the Seven Divine Temples."

"Ha ha!"

Her laughter was melodious, like the sound of wind chimes.

The red-clad woman, staring at her somewhat reluctant daughter, was taken aback, then smiled, shaking her head.

Without explanation, red lotus flames danced in her palm, red light swirling around her fingertips.

"Red Lotus Spell, Leaf by Leaf Blossoms!"

A small, fiery red lotus bloomed in the red-clad woman's palm, small lotus leaves slowly opening and rotating, a faint red glow rising and falling, lightly touching the faint, intangible aura in the air.

A muffled groan, Jun Wuming, looking at the small red lotus in his sea of consciousness, his face pale, eyes filled with fear. This was the Red Lotus Fire of Karma, he thought to himself, they really looked up to him.

With the Red Lotus Fire, even a Yang Spirit cultivator might not escape with their life.

The Red Lotus Fire of Karma, using karma as a guide, burns sinners and punishes them with cause and effect. Those burned might at best go mad and lose their cultivation, at worst be reduced to ashes. With Jun Wuming's current cultivation, if he resisted, he would be burned to ashes.

His mind heavy, he gently moved the Eight Trigram Silver Mirror, releasing eight intense white starlights, isolating the red lotus in his sea of consciousness.

The red lotus flames burned brightly, the flower bud gradually opening, red flames leaping, the lotus platform rotating, its power gradually unfolding.

Jun Wuming's heart raced, cursing inwardly.

Although Jun Wuming was not a specialist in cursing techniques, he was not unfamiliar with them. The Red Lotus Spell was famous among fire-based curses, known for its insidious and vicious power.

A single touch of the Red Lotus Fire could destroy even a true spirit, reducing it to ashes. The Red Lotus had nine transformations; he had to remove it completely before the roots and stems grew, or he would die.

The star seal in his hand accelerated, the Yin Spirit light rippling like water, sealing the void in his sea of consciousness where the Eight Trigram Mirror was located.

"Northern Dipper Divine Calculation, Tian Shu Stabilizes the Cauldron!"

Heavy spells flew in the Yin Spirit Primordial Fetus, his fingers flicking, the seven starlights above his divine palace shining brightly, the seven stars connected, the main star in the sky emitting a bright light, heavy silver light condensed by the spells in Jun Wuming's hand, a slightly illusory holy wheel appearing behind his head, slightly holy, a starlight cauldron formed by starlight flying out.

The massive energy expansion was like a cloud, emitting an overwhelmingly powerful aura, like a primordial fierce god, as if this illusory starlight cauldron was a divine object born before the universe, with the power to suppress primordial stars.

The fourth-stage realm of refining demons and the fifth-stage Yin Spirit had a substantial difference, like a vast chasm! The Yin Spirit could win battles from a thousand miles away, instantly killing the invisible.

Fortunately, the curse from a distance was separated by thousands of miles. Even a world-class expert like the red-clad woman, when attacking from such a distance, could only transmit a fraction of her power, unable to fully unleash the supreme power of the Red Lotus Spell!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz"

Ripples spread, almost shattering the illusory starlight cauldron, Jun Wuming's face changed. He mobilized the power of the seven stars in his divine palace, a massive attraction force instantly bursting out.

Bang, bang! Silver light splashed!

The white cauldron violently shook, instantly being pulled by the seven large stars emitting silver light, falling onto the Tian Shu star at the top of the divine palace.

On the Tian Shu star in the divine palace, silver light surged, countless silver waves slowly sinking the small cauldron into the silver sea, until it reached a small dark area in the star core.

At this moment, in the vast marsh, at the bottom of Longchuan Lake, inside a simple cave.

A huge black dragon coiled its body, its sharp horn piercing the sky, gleaming with a cold light. Snoring sounds filled the cave, regular and rhythmic.

The cave was filled with pearls, armor, swords, and jade, emitting a dazzling light, though somewhat messy, it was extremely luxurious.

Suddenly, a bright cave lit up with a faint red light, the sleeping dragon instantly sensing it, opening its eyes in an instant, a cold light flashing, the red light drawn to its front.

Its pupils contracted, power surging, instantly transforming into a disheveled black-clad middle-aged man, black light swirling around his fingertips, intending to closely examine the blood drop.

"Bang"

Unexpectedly, before he could get close, a fiery red tongue instantly shot out from the blood drop, a vivid red lotus slowly appearing beneath it, red flames surging, slowly burning the blood drop.

At the same time, a silver Eight Trigram array slowly appeared in the blood drop, eight silver lights rotating, barely blocking the red light's invasion. Seeing this, the black-clad middle-aged man's expression changed, suddenly furious, "Red Lotus Spell!"

"Who, who is trying to kill a dragon's offspring!"

"How dare they use such means against a young dragon!"

The black-clad middle-aged man's face was dark, his eyes blazing. True dragons were already rare, and black dragons even rarer. Those who stole dragon eggs or harmed young dragons, whether sub-dragons or other dragons, were deeply hated by true dragons.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a deafening dragon roar, a dense black light ball surging in the black-clad middle-aged man's hand, wild and fierce black dragon power surging like the sea, instantly tearing a spatial portal.

Winds rose, black winds raging, tearing the void, churning the lake water into a massive wave!

With a wave of his hand, he stabilized the burning red lotus in the void, a strange black arrow shadow like a thunderbolt in the dark space, following the spatial portal to its source.

The red-clad woman's willow eyebrows furrowed, looking at the burning red lotus in her palm, a mere second-stage cultivator could resist the power of the red lotus for so long.

No, this is...

Her phoenix eyes narrowed, her hand raised, a red lotus shadow recondensing, gently pushing, the flames flaring up. The red lotus rotated, its roots and stems extending like a living thing, the endless red lotus aura dyeing the entire palace red, the aura making one shudder.

At the same time, in a palace on the third floor, a beautiful woman who was meditating suddenly opened her eyes.

Her eyes filled with vitality, a glance revealing the growth of all things, the rising green wood qi, the pervasive creative vitality making one's heart tremble!

She saw a strange look in her eyes, suddenly looking in the direction of the Red Lotus Palace, speaking word by word!

The second transformation of the Red Lotus!
