Chapter 383: Chapter 380: As Risky as Gambling with One’s Life Karmic Fire burns the body. Four words that send shivers down one’s spine. Qin Liuxi instinctively glanced at Si Lengyue, who looked bewildered at first, then frowned in realization. "This method is too sinister; even my father, upon discovering it, dared not speak openly. Karmic Fire can burn all things; how can mortals withstand it?" Wuyang sighed, "Even those of strong mind, how can they acquire Karmic Fire? My father once used Da Yan Divination to predict that if this curse could be broken, one must wait for the right moment, seeking that slim chance within the grand path." Si Lengyue’s heart skipped a beat, looking at Qin Liuxi; vitality lies within her. Qin Liuxi lowered her gaze, and a spark of inspiration flashed in her mind. She turned to look at the Yin Object covered in evil runes, and with a thought, flicked a small cluster of fire towards it. Wuyang’s eyes widened, about to say something, but Si Lengyue screamed in agony and fell to the ground. Quin Liuxi quickly withdrew the fire and helped her up, pressing her fingers on Si Lengyue’s pulse and carefully examining her complexion. Only for that brief moment, Si Lengyue’s face turned deathly pale, as if a burnt smell emanated from her body. So it was indeed so. To break this curse, the cursed person does not directly burn in the fire; instead, it is a blood burning. The cursed person will feel as if experiencing it themselves, because they are connected by blood. If one could endure the severe agony of burning, all sins and karmic effects would be erased, achieving Nirvana rebirth. If not, one would perish and their soul would dissipate. Si Lengyue’s whole body trembled. "How vicious, Gong Xianhu must be some demonic incarnation; how could she think of such a vindictive method." Qin Liuxi supported Si Lengyue, feeling the urge to scour heaven and earth to find Gong Xianhu and punish her severely. The curse persists endlessly, and curing it is as risky as gambling with one’s life. "I’m feeling a bit better," Si Lengyue patted her hand and gasped for breath. Wuyang snapped back to reality, exclaiming, "Mr. Qin, what was that fire just now?" Qin Liuxi displayed a smile uglier than crying, "As you saw, Karmic Fire." "How is that possible!" Wuyang’s face showed shock, sizing her up while suppressing the urge to perform divination. How could this little girl, merely in her teens, possess Karmic Fire, even with an exceptional talent she’s just a mortal? No matter how profound her cultivation is, she couldn’t possibly muster Hellfire. How could a mere mortal carry Hellfire within them? Wuyang’s pupils contracted. Qin Liuxi said, "I ask Clan Leader to forget this matter; let it not be spread outside." Wuyang shuddered, quickly nodding his head, his look towards Qin Liuxi now carried some reverence, swallowed a gulp before saying, "No wonder my father said there is a slim chance for life, turns out that chance is you, Mr. Qin." "Clan Leader, look at her; how is this a good chance? Just now, I merely tested, and she’s already like this. If we actually perform the blood burning, can her frail body endure it?" Qin Liuxi was quite frustrated. Karmic Fire, even the darkest wandering ghosts fear it, being burned like this, even if it feels like one’s own body, it is undoubtedly like being scorched, skin split and flesh burst. If one cannot endure it, not to mention death, even the soul would dissipate into the universe. Thus, curing this curse should not be hastily decided; utmost caution is necessary. Wuyang looked at Si Lengyue’s pallid complexion, his heart also filled with palpitations. "Yes, Father also said that this method is too risky, tantamount to gambling with life, and the odds of success are slim." Qin Liuxi asked, "What about changing the body completely, Clan Leader, can’t we just change all her blood?" Even if all her blood was changed, as long as she still breathes, even feigns death, she could snatch Si Lengyue back from Lord Yama. But could she endure the pain equivalent to the torment of Hellfire burning the body? Wuyang shook his head, "The curse has gone deep into the bones, how can it be removed?" Several people looked at the mummified corpse covered in evil runes, their brows deeply furrowed. "What about exorcism?" Qin Liuxi said, "What if we let a high monk recite scriptures to exorcise this thing? I can also add the Daoist Exorcism Talisman Technique." Wuyang said, "Mr. Qin must also know that the Si family has tried all methods to break this curse, including seeking help from Buddha and Dao, but all were to no avail. Only this ancient book mentions a method that might be worth a try." Qin Liuxi wanted to speak again, but Si Lengyue grabbed her, showing a serene smile and said, "Xixi, it’s futile, we can only break it with this method. Have you forgotten the prophecy of our clan’s Holy Daughter?" Qin Liuxi fell silent. "She had already foreseen this day, otherwise our clan wouldn’t have been waiting in agony for a hundred years, gradually withering away. She exhausted her cultivation to glimpse a hint of Heavenly Secret, and saw that you are our clan’s hope for survival. In fact, isn’t the method described in this ancient book exclusive to you?" In this world, only Qin Liuxi bears the Karma Fire, only she can break the Blood Curse because she alone possesses the Karma Fire. All this has been arranged. Qin Liuxi fell silent for a long while and said, "Little Yue, this is too risky. Let’s think again, we still have time to find some ancient texts, maybe we can find another way." Si Lengyue smiled faintly, and Qin Liuxi awkwardly shifted her gaze away, rewrapped those runes around the Blood Attraction, and asked Wuyang to cast several more witchcraft spells for evil suppression. Qin Liuxi watched as the Yin Object was rewrapped, feeling a momentary impulse to burn it all and relieve the hatred in her heart. The Black Witch Saintess, truly vicious. That night, the two stayed inside the Wu Family traveling camp. After washing up, Qin Liuxi saw Si Lengyue sitting on the balcony of the little wooden building, the moonlight was cold and clear, making her silhouette seem particularly lonely. Qin Liuxi took a cloak from nearby, walked over and draped it on her, saying, "It’s already winter, it’s even colder here in the camp, why are you out here in the cold breeze?" Si Lengyue wrapped the cloak around herself, smiling, "The moon and stars are bright tonight, I was momentarily mesmerized." Qin Liuxi put her hands on the railing, turned her head to look at her, and asked, "Are you still thinking about that curse-breaking method?" "Xixi, this is our clan’s only hope," Si Lengyue also turned her head to look at her, "so I want to try it." Qin Liuxi’s expression changed, "When I probed with a slight touch today, you also tasted that sensation, comparable to extreme torture. That was just a small flame, but if we really burn that thing with Karma Fire, it will not be as simple as a small flame. Karma Fire scorches the body and shakes the Divine Soul." "I believe you won’t let me die," Si Lengyue smiled, "Besides, the Holy Daughter also prophesied that you, a noble man of my clan, would be the key to saving us. You have appeared, so I believe her." "What if she was wrong?" Qin Liuxi gave a bitter smile, "Even I can’t guarantee that I will never make mistakes, because we are all just human." Si Lengyue fell silent, then said, "Even if it is wrong, what of it? We Cultivators always say that cultivation is a fight against heaven, this also applies to ordinary people. To live this life, why not fight it out? If fortunate, one may fall into reincarnation, if not, then dissipate between heaven and earth." She reached out and held Qin Liuxi’s hand, "I dare to fight with heaven, do you?" Qin Liuxi was shaken.
