Chapter 382 - A Mixed Blessing (1/2)

Chanting for nine days continually, Lin Luoran first gets a response from the light spots of faith flying in the ocean of consciousness.

They are Lin Luoran’s believers from the outside world. The power of faith is versatile but what she wants it to do is just a little thing.

On the fifth day, these light spots of faith set up a bridge in Lin Luoran’s ocean of consciousness.

Blessed by the “Reincarnation Sutra” she has been chanting day and night, those demons hiding under the Sea of Sin are surrounded with warmth for the first time in thousands of years. At first, they only feel grateful about it. Then some demons gradually take the chance of the one hour every day when the Sea of Sin calms down and come to the sh.o.r.e to listen to the unsophisticated “Sutra” quietly.

Besides the semi-literal Sutra, the persistent female voice is actually what penetrates the thick, black and cold seawater.

The peaceful and beautiful female voice is so pure. It sounds cold but it has a power to make people feel at ease.

The demons have lost their “faith” for thousands of years. However, on the morning of the eighth day, a black demon feels extremely peaceful, and then a little white light of faith flies out from its head. It actually disappears in the sight of these demons! All demons are so excited about it now.

The terrible thing about the Sea of Sin is that you cannot escape from this small place even when you are dead.

These demons don’t expect to relive. They just want to get out of bondage and enter reincarnation.

“I want to offer my faith…”

“I would like to offer my faith.”

It is not true that their faith has already been lost. Getting themselves a little less guarded, the demons realize this fact—they have been suffering too long to remember their faith and hope.

Their faith is buried so deep that they need a guide. In fact, no one is more devout than these tortured demons.

On the ninth day, the Sea of Sin is calm.

Only the delicate and beautiful mermaid is still there on the coast. It’s all happening so fast. She feels complex when she looks at Lin Luoran who is sitting there cross-legged. If she had really pulled the female cultivator into the seawater and made her “scapegoat”, maybe these demons would have never been freed.

“What? Do you have other wishes?” Lin Luoran notices she is wandering, unwilling to leave. She opens her eyes and asks.

The mermaid grits her teeth but says nothing. She eventually shakes her head.

What she still wants is to go to Mount Penglai. Maybe it’s better to keep this wish to herself. This green dress female cultivator will probably get to Penglai. As for why she wants to go to Penglai, the truth has been less important after so long, hasn’t it?

The mermaid closes her eyes and smiles.

“I would like to offer my faith to enter reincarnation.”

The mermaid finds herself very relaxed after giving up her obsession. She can feel a line connecting herself with Lin Luoran. Is the warm white light the guide to the road of reincarnation?

Her body slowly becomes transparent and eventually disappears on the sh.o.r.e of the Sea of Sin.

The breeze blows on the fine sand. This is a really soft beach. The seawater of the Sea of Sin is still very dark, but it’s not stinking anymore because all demons are gone.

As the mermaid is freed, Lin Luoran is bathed in soft white light. She lowers her eyes and eyebrows. Her expression at this moment is very similar to the Fly Apsaras painted sculpture in her ocean of consciousness.

After a long time, she stands up.

Lin Luoran’s knees are stiff sitting there still for nine days. From chanting continually without drinking anything, she realizes for the first time that Bearing Essence cultivators are indeed better at overcoming hunger than ordinary people. She is in good spirits now.

“Well, I underestimate you, little girl. You are really good at chanting.”

Fire phoenix has been holding itself back for so long. It can’t help saying it when it sees everything coming to a successful end.

Lin Luoran feels very happy about the light groups of faith which are about to become solid. Therefore, she doesn’t care about fire phoenix’s banter, “Don’t you say that the contents of lection are not important? What can make them feel the guidance of the power of faith is actually my devout wishes?”

But Lin Luoran thinks fire phoenix makes sense in one thing. The thing trapping these demons may not be the Sea of Sin but that they can’t let go of the obsession in their mind—weren’t they drawing a circle on the ground to serve as a prison for themselves?
