Chapter 1863 - Vice Fire (2/2)

The two of their abnormal states immediately attracted quite a number of people’s attention.

“Why are the two of them fine?”

“Eh, the two of them have been constantly revolving their cultivation methods since entering this space! Previously, we were still mocking them all along, could it be that there’s something fishy going on?”

“I understand! This … This is vice fire[1]!”

The one who spoke was a True God powerhouse.

Mentioning the name vice fire, that True God powerhouse’s own expression also changed drastically, and was in a state of disbelief for a while.

Not just him, the other people’s faces similarly changed dramatically.

“Vice fire is born in heart, without the slightest omen! Its power is immense! Legends have it that vice fire can burn everything, turning into nothingness.”

When Ye Yuan heard everyone’s surprised and bewildered voices, the corners of his mouth could not help smiling slightly.

These people finally reacted to it.

The Vermilion Bird was a divine beast of fire. Its attainment in the laws of flame was exceedingly deep.

This vast expanse of desert was actually a sea of vice fire.

Walking in this desert, one must maintain tranquility of the mind, rippleless like an old well.

Otherwise, once the vice fire was evoked, one would be directly burned to death.

Of course, Ye Yuan could not have known beforehand. But with Dustless around, this degree of trap naturally could not possibly affect him.

In reality, ever since entering the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, Ye Yuan felt like he had returned home.

The extremely perilous land of danger to others was akin to flat ground for Ye Yuan.

These people were all overly anxious for success, wanting to find the Vermilion Bird true blood as quickly as possible. It was naturally impossible to maintain a calm mind. Evoking vice fire was naturally something very normal.

Discovering the oddity, these martial artists all strove to maintain tranquility of the mind. Sure enough, phenomenons of being burned by vice fire immediately fell drastically.

However, things were not as simple as they imagined.

As they continued going deeper, the temperature in the desert became higher and higher. Their state of mind also became more and more irritable. Hence, there were people who started to be burned to death by vice fire again.

In the crowd, two gazes were staring fixedly at Ye Yuan all along.

The older one among them opened his mouth and whispered, “Heh, this kid is indeed rather capable, to actually be able to see through the vice fire in-advance. If not for him, the two of us master and apprentice might die here too.”

The young man said, “Master, I keep feeling that something is off about this Ye Yuan.”

These two were Ji Xun and Zhuo Han, master and disciple.

When the two of them saw Ye Yuan enter the Door of Vermilion Bird, they also followed closely behind and came in.

The incident last time made Ji Xun very pent up with anger.

Ever since entering the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, he had always been finding a chance to get Ye Yuan alone, wanting to kill him.

Seeing Gu Tianque entered the Door of Black Tortoise, Ji Xun realized that the opportunity came. Hence, he followed Ye Yuan two people and entered the Door of Vermilion Bird.

Originally, they wanted to immediately take action. But when he saw Ye Yuan make Leng Qiuling revolve her cultivation method, Ji Xun kept feeling that there was something fishy. Hence, he did not make a move all along.

They followed far behind the crowd. When he saw people being burned to death by vice fire in front, Ji Xun immediately understood.

Hearing Zhuo Han’s words, Ji Xun smiled and said, “What you said is right, this boy is indeed rather different from the rest. Let’s not take action first. I feel that by following him, we might be able to have an unexpected harvest.”

Seeing Zhuo Han’s unwilling look, Ji Xun continued, “Han-er, rest assured. Your grudge, Master will definitely avenge it for you! When we find the Vermilion Bird true blood, it’s when Ye Yuan dies!”

Time slowly trickled by, the crowd searched for as long as half a month in the desert, but did not have any harvests.

Many people became more and more irritable. The people who were burned to death by vice fire also became more and more.

“Does this damn place have Vermilion Bird true blood or not! Goodness, no, I can’t get angry, can’t get agitated, maintain tranquility! Stay calm!”

This person’s slapstick comedy immediately incurred a series of laughter.

But very soon, these laughing sounds quietened down.

Laughing would not do too.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd pointed in front and shouted, “You guys, look! What’s that?”

[1] This vice fire is a bit hard to translate, it’s a fire used to punish sinners in hell. But in this context, it’s a fire that burns when your emotions stir.
