Chapter 162 Purple Qi from the East (2/2)
“It really is effective…”
Ye Fan immediately thought of many things. Within the legends of Buddhism, what were the most difficult flames to deal with? It was naturally karmic flames!
Flames condensed from the karmic energy between all things could burn a Buddha to ashes. They could burn the gods of the world, with nothing being able to block them.
The crimes someone committed in the world could condense into karmic flames. When Buddha gained enlightenment, in order to understand the depths of great sorrow and compassion, Buddha underwent karmic flames, and only then did he reach understanding.
Moreover, the most important thing to him when he had gained that enlightenment was a Bodhi tree. It let him achieve supreme enlightenment, resisting the karmic powers and reach perfection.
Without a doubt, that Bodhi tree was a true sacred item. It allowed one to not fear karmic flames and opened their divinity. It was the most extraordinary item of all.
Of course, in this world, it was difficult for there to be true eternity. Perhaps Buddha’s perfection only represented a certain realm and didn’t represent true eternity.
Whether Buddha was an Immortal or not was something the world wouldn’t know. Even the Great Thunderchant Temple had been destroyed. As for that legendary sacred Bodhi tree, it only left behind a single seed.
“For it to be able to block even the world’s most powerful karmic flames, it naturally isn’t afraid of these purple flames…” Ye Fan was very excited. This Bodhi seed in his hand was very mysterious and extraordinary.
The purple fires were unable to enter a radius of three meters. Within this perimeter, it was completely calm. Ye Fan sighed. With such a sacred seed by his seed, he was finally safe.
After Ye Fan calmed down, he drank some of the divine spring water and began to mend his wounds. In just those seconds before, his body had already been badly burned, and he had received very serious injuries.
He wasn’t in a hurry to leave this place. Within the current southern region, perhaps only this place was safe for him. All the strong powers were searching for him, and if he left and was noticed by someone, he would definitely die.

Ye Fan motionlessly sat there for three days. After drinking some of the divine spring water, he finally felt his wounds had healed and he recovered to his peak state.
“Powerful figures really are frightening. Just how powerful does one need to be to come to such a place to refine Vessels?!”
Without the Bodhi seed, he wouldn’t be able to survive in this place for even a short moment. He was shocked by how powerful those people had to be.
Over the past few days, he had been continuously fleeing from danger, and he had made ample preparations. The pure jade bottle had sufficient food and water, and he could definitely stay here for a long time.
Since he had decided to stay here, Ye Fan started to explore this ‘Purple Qi from the East’ region of the Flame Region.
This place was very silent. Purple mists burned without the slightest sound. Other than the stone forest, there was no other scenery.
“What is so special about these stones that even they are able to survive fine when even a precious treasure from a Ji Family Elder was destroyed?”
Ye Fan used all his power to slash at a rock, but he didn’t find anything strange. In the end, he still didn’t understand it and just chalked it up to the Flame Domain being very spiritual.
“For powerful figures to choose this place to refine Vessels, then my cauldron might really be able to take form if I were to use the purple Qi.”
The flame was definitely extremely important when refining Vessels. Back in Elder Han’s immortal cave, he had drawn on the underground flame fiends to refine his cauldron.
Now, this place’s purple flames were many times more powerful than those flame fiends, and they would definitely have a much greater effect.
Ye Fan was pretty excited. After all, even the Origin Qi had become very lively here. He might really be able to succeed in completely refining it.
He strolled through this area for an hour without finding anything special.
Other than a couple human-shaped piles of ashes, he saw some discarded materials for refining Vessels. There were also some marks that were clearly left behind by powerful figures.
“The higher the quality of the flame source, the stronger the weapon refined from them will be. In legends, some peerless people spent half their lifetimes collecting flame essences to refine a peak level weapon.”
Ye Fan now felt that this place could be considered a huge opportunity for him.
“You wanted to send me to die, but you actually might have helped me succeed…” He already knew that this place had nine types of flames. The deeper he went, the more terrifying the flames’ might.
Right now he was just in the sixth level. But all the powerful figures used this level to refine their vessels. What kind of might did the seventh layer’s flames possess?
What sort of flames were the in the eighth level? It really allowed one’s imagination to roam.
As for the ninth level, that was a scene that was hard for him to even imagine.
This place had many recordings about it in ancient texts. Some of they even related to Immortals and the Desolate Pagoda. But there were only a few vague lines, and they didn’t explain it very clearly.
Ye Fan didn’t know about those however. If he knew, he would definitely be even more excited and shocked.
Holding the Bodhi seed, he started towards the seventh level. He had already seen them before. It was a five-colored mist that released a terrifying fluctuation.
Advancing several kilometers, the five-colored mists didn’t appear like flames at all. They were much more like immortal mist, appearing very auspicious, but still causing one’s heart to jump and spirit to tremble.
Just standing on the edge and not truly entering, Ye Fan already had a sense of how hot it was. And this was despite the Bodhi seed he was holding.
His expression became sluggish. Despite not entering, he already saw a couple human-shaped ash piles, as well as some destroyed weapons.
“Looks like the seventh level is very dangerous. Even some great figures have died inside.”
He felt somewhat afraid. Those great figures had died inside, so that five-colored mist must be extremely formidable. Such a blaze had long since surpassed the imagination.
“I should just stay within the sixth layer and refine my cauldron. If I can refine it successfully, then I’ll think about entering into the seventh level and continuing the refinement.
Ye Fan didn’t want to take any risks right now. He felt that he could go slowly, and if he managed to have some initial success here, he might test the seventh layer, and maybe even the eighth layer to refine his cauldron.
“The Origin Qi foundation as well as a peak flame source will definitely be able to successfully refine my cauldron.” He wanted to refine the most powerful weapon possible.
Hey guys. You may have noticed that some terms are in flux right now. For example, I like the term 'sovereign,' but it used to be 'almighty,' but almighty isn't a noun, so I had to find something else (almighty was its literal translation). There's also a term that means old senior (the Ji Family's 'senior' Ji Hui), which I have tried translating as 'ancestor,' 'senior,' and 'elder.' Currently I like translating it as Elder because that fits the context best, but I'm also worried that there will be a distinction between Elders and this term (as they are not the same terms). Honestly, the author's usage of this word drives me crazy because it is really uncommon, but it seems to be used as a mix between senior and Elder. I'm only a couple chapters ahead (if even a couple chapters) of what's posted here, so such terms do occasionally change based on more context.
